Chapter 289: 287, Lake...
Du Wei had already been dawdling in the classroom for several minutes.
The information he had verified so far was that the hidden mastermind indeed could influence the Evil Spirits within the school.
And the purpose of this existence was just like Du Wei had thought at the beginning.
It set up a script and wanted Du Wei to do certain things according to its will, thereby achieving its purpose.
The purpose was unknown.
What was known was that it seemed to want Du Wei to leave, that’s why the phrase “a way to leave” kept appearing in that diary.
Du Wei was now an unreliable actor, following the script, but always making it very chaotic.
Therefore, some “director,” for its own purpose, had to vouch for Du Wei.
It was like in a relationship, where the favored one is always fearless.
Du Wei felt just like that.
So when he left the classroom, he walked casually through the hallways.
...
Creak...
The sound of a door being pushed open.
Du Wei leaned into the classroom, glanced at the teacher who was “teaching” the “students”: “Excuse me, have you seen my student Joanna? She’s skipped class, and I’m looking for her now.”
The teacher, a white woman in her thirties with a full figure, said with some annoyance, “Du Wei, you are too impolite. I am in the middle of teaching the students, please leave.”
Du Wei smiled, pulled out a Flintlock Gun, and said, “Please answer my question.”
He felt like a lawless thug.
The teacher’s complexion suddenly turned livid, full of malice.
The students also craned their necks, their eyes filled with ill intent.
It seemed they did not welcome Du Wei, hence their very poor attitude.
But Du Wei was as if he hadn’t heard: “Hey, I’m just trying to find my student, there’s no need to make things so tense, right?”
The moment he finished speaking,
Everything returned to tranquility.
The teacher’s demeanor had also changed from before, now speaking enthusiastically, “Du Wei, are you looking for Joanna? She probably ran off to the artificial lake again. She usually hangs out there with her best friend Sharan.”
Du Wei nodded, “Thanks for your cooperation.”
Having said that, he turned and left.
Inside the classroom, the teacher resumed teaching the students with a smile on her face.
The expressions of the students were also smiling.
It was a picture of harmony between teacher and students.
...
After Du Wei got the information he wanted, he didn’t bother to consider whether it was true or not because it was meaningless.
That was— Joanna and her friend often went to the artificial lake.
So, crafting a third-rate horror story to scare someone was quite simple.
“Joanna, I too want to tell myself that I was mistaken, but do you know? I checked all the surveillance footage from yesterday, and there was no one at the artificial lake during that time.”
“But I definitely saw a female student.”
“Therefore, I have no choice but to say that I might have seen the ghost of your friend, Sharan.”
Du Wei told this lie with a chilling tone.
During this process, he saw Joanna’s face grow increasingly pale with fright, her body trembling.
So, he intensified his effort, “You think Sharan has just disappeared, but how long has she been missing? Do you really think she’s not dead?”
Fear filled Joanna’s eyes, “She’s been missing for one day.”
Du Wei sneered, “But to kill someone, it doesn’t even take a minute.”
“I know, you’re likely very resistant inside, not wanting to tell me the truth.”
“But what if I told you that Sharan sought me out for psychological counseling a day before?”
“Do you know what she said? She said she wanted to commit suicide.”
Every word was ambiguous.
Du Wei never spoke an outright lie; he always thought about how he could backtrack on each sentence.
But what was strange to him was that from beginning to end, Joanna, aside from growing more frightened, did not show any other unusual signs.
She seemed like a person...
Yet in reality, she had been long dead...
At that moment, Joanna painfully grabbed her head, gritting her teeth, “Stop talking, I’ll tell you everything. Sharan jumped into the lake...”
Du Wei asked coldly, “Why?”
Joanna blurted, “Because she didn’t want to study that course anymore, those videotapes from ten years ago were too terrifying. The people in the videos, it’s like they could see us.”
“I want to transfer schools, this place is too horrifying...”
Du Wei fell silent for a while, “What course? And where were the videotapes from ten years ago?”
Subconsciously, Joanna said, “The course is to watch the videotapes, to learn the rituals within, it’s done every three days, wait... Teacher, don’t you know?”
As she said this, a deep malice suddenly emanated from Joanna.
In an instant, she appeared right in front of Du Wei, her face ghastly pale and terrifying.
Her voice completely changed, roaring, “Teacher, why don’t you know?”
The next second.
A flintlock gun was pressed against her forehead.
Boom... Smoke dispersed...
With an expressionless face, Du Wei said, “I know now.”
