Ye Qingyao had just dashed out of the classroom, barely catching her breath, when she ran straight into Teacher Ma, who was wielding a chainsaw.

"Thud thud thud!"

With one swift motion, her petite body was split in half!

Ye Qingyao didn't even have the chance to scream before she died at Teacher Ma's hands.

"Another mouse caught, another mouse caught, hahaha."

Teacher Ma began to feast on Ye Qingyao's corpse, while Teacher Mei left with a disappointed look.

But soon enough, Ye Qingyao resurrected in her dorm room.

She touched her neck, still shaken.

Even though she could revive, the pain from being killed was all too real.

But she quickly composed herself.

"Good thing I had that substitute doll, or I'd really be done for this time."

Blood Blade Ghost: "What are you going to do next?"

Ye Qingyao: "Of course, end this challenge... Don't worry, the food I promised you will be yours when we get back."

Blood Blade Ghost: "Heh heh... Remember, I only want the flesh of beautiful women."

...

The school bell rang.

The mist began to recede.

The hide-and-seek game officially ended.

On the fourth floor, in an abandoned classroom.

Looking at the young Teacher Gu, Jiang Che admitted he was quite handsome.

Almost as good-looking as himself.

At this moment, Teacher Gu was hunched over, his hands trembling as he held something.

A...

Butterfly hairpin.

Jiang Che adjusted his clothes and said calmly, "She was much braver than you."

Teacher Gu's voice trembled, "Why do you have Xiaoyue's hairpin?"

"......"

If I said it came from my ashes box, would you believe me?

Of course, Jiang Che wouldn't say that.

Since he took out the butterfly hairpin at this moment, he must have some confidence.

Jiang Che said seriously, "Because..."

"I come from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, on a journey to the West... How this hairpin came to be isn't important. What's important is how long you plan to hide."

"She was so brave, loved you so much, and endured so much alone to protect you and your reputation."

"And you? Are you really going to remain a coward, letting her soul rot in endless darkness?"

Now everything was clear.

The child in Xiaoyue's belly was Teacher Gu's.

Yes.

A forbidden teacher-student romance.

An immoral affair that everyone would condemn.

Teacher Gu was just an intern teacher.

He was young, not much older than Xiaoyue.

One was gentle and refined, the other youthful and lively.

Over time, they grew close.

The rest was simple; Xiaoyue became pregnant with Teacher Gu's child. To protect his reputation, she bore everything alone.

But secrets don't stay hidden forever.

As the truth was about to be exposed, Zhu Xiaoyue killed her own child, yet people still wouldn't leave her alone.

Public opinion was the final straw.

In the end, Zhu Xiaoyue turned into a vengeful ghost and slaughtered everyone in the school.

The butterfly hairpin's significance was something Jiang Che only discovered after arriving in this classroom.

Because on Zhu Xiaoyue, there were many signs of her fondness for butterflies.

Butterfly collars, dresses with butterfly prints, hair ties with butterflies.

So Jiang Che deduced that the butterfly hairpin must be connected to Zhu Xiaoyue.

As for confirming Teacher Gu's identity.

It was actually quite simple.

From the beginning, it was known that Teacher Gu initiated this event.

And this so-called hide-and-seek game was actually a massacre of students by teachers.

Why did Teacher Gu, who had never shown himself, suddenly do this?

Because Jiang Che had dug too deeply into the truth, and he wanted to stop it.

Through the hide-and-seek game, he could kill all the challengers involved.

If all of this was just Jiang Che's speculation.

Then Teacher Gu's reaction to the butterfly hairpin was the best evidence!

Sorry.

This round, I've won again.

...

Looking at Teacher Gu in front of him, Jiang Che said, "Help her, she... can't let go..."

Can't let go?!

Jiang Che's pupils suddenly contracted.

His scalp tingled!

No, no!

If all of this was Zhu Xiaoyue's choice.

Then why can't she let go?

Why can't she let go?!

At that moment, Teacher Gu suddenly swallowed the hairpin, blood streaming from his eyes.

He stared intently at Jiang Che, his face twisted in rage, "You know too much..."

"Xiaoman!"

At that moment, Jiang Che unhesitatingly called for Xiaoman's help!

Sure enough, the ghostly Teacher Gu lunged at Jiang Che!

"Get away!"

A furious shout echoed.

Jiang Che's now pale right hand grabbed Teacher Gu's skull.

Then.

"Boom!"

The back of his head exploded like a watermelon!

Looking at Teacher Gu collapsing in front of him.

Jiang Che broke out in a cold sweat.

Xiaoman mocked, "I thought you were really smart, but you almost got yourself killed."

Jiang Che frowned deeply, not expecting such an outcome.

Normally, Teacher Gu should have been moved by the hairpin and gone to the dormitory to find Zhu Xiaoyue.

Which part of his deduction was wrong?

It shouldn't be; their story should have unfolded this way.

Standing there in a daze for a long time.

Suddenly, Jiang Che noticed a hint of relief in Teacher Gu's eyes.

Relief?

Why would he show relief at the moment of death?

Minutes later, Jiang Che thought of another possibility!

"......"

"No way, right?..."

Jiang Che frowned, using scissors to cut open the corpse.

He found the butterfly hairpin.

And hurriedly left.
