Chapter 19: The Problem Has Become Serious

  "What? Another female student fainted in the toilet? How can you be a teacher like this, didn't I tell you before not to let female students go to that female toilet again? How could you..."

  Qingyang Third Middle School, the principal's office. The bald Principal Zhang Guixin of Qingyang Third Middle School stood up angrily and shouted at a group of teachers in front of him with anxious faces.

  "Principal, this isn't our fault. You also know the students from classes 7 and 8, they're all disobedient. No matter what you say to them, they like to do the opposite. We really can't do anything about it." A teacher explained anxiously.

  "Hmph, I don't want to hear these nonsense. If the students can't be taught well, it's because you're incompetent, it's because you're not capable." Zhang Guixin said coldly.

  Several teachers looked helpless, who made them greedy for comfort and money, choosing to teach a poor class. Now that something has happened, they can't escape responsibility one by one.

  "Principal Gui Xin, it's no use saying these things now. The key is to handle this evil matter properly. This is already the fifth one. If we continue like this, Qingyang No. 3 Middle School will be finished." said Zhu Xuexin, the school's instructional director, with a heavy heart and a worried expression.

  Zhang Guixin's face was aching with a headache, and he sighed: "What can I do? Everyone has been to the women's restroom before, nothing happened, why did something happen when the female students went in?"

  At this time, a teacher standing at the edge weakly said: "I think there must be dirty things in the women's toilet."

  "Nonsense." Zhang Guixin glared at the speaker, who was the music teacher from Class 7. He snorted coldly: "This is superstition, you can't solve the problem and push it onto ghosts and gods, what kind of attitude is this? If this gets out, do we still want to teach and educate people in our school?"

  "But every time, the woman would be found unconscious in the toilet, pale and bloodless, and to this day, she still can't wake up. This matter cannot be explained by science either. And someone has said that there is a ghost on campus." The music teacher of Class 7 seemed to recall something, his face looking somewhat strange.

  His words startled everyone.

  Is there a ghost in the school? They had never heard of such a thing.

  Zhang Guixin's face turned ashen, gritting his teeth and growling: "Who said that? Bring him here, I want to confront him in person."

  The music teacher was startled and hastily said, "He's a student from Class 7. He said that after seeing Xu Jie faint, but he didn't come to school the next day after saying that. I thought it was suspicious too."

  "Student?"

  Everyone was stunned, looking at each other in dismay.

  Zhang Guixin said coldly, "It's the seventh class again. It seems that these ignorant and useless kids are so idle that they have to give themselves an unforgettable memory at this time when they are about to graduate."

  "Something's wrong, the students from classes 7 and 8 are on strike."

  Just then a sharp voice was like a fuse, suddenly detonating the bomb.

  Zhang Guixin slapped the table and said, "Let's go take a look."

  A group of people strode forward like shooting stars, heading straight for Class Seven.

  Just as they approached Class Seven's classroom, Zhang Guixin and his group heard a commotion coming from inside.

  "Boycott classes, there are ghosts in Sanzhong, something dirty, we don't want to study here."

  "It's said that the old San Zhong was once a cemetery, and when the school was being built, many strange things happened, with ghosts causing quite a commotion."

  "Oh dear, no wonder I always feel the air in Sanzhong is so cool and often catch a cold. It turns out it's so gloomy here. This won't do, I have to transfer schools, I must transfer schools."

  ……

  Zhang Guixin's face turned even darker, his face gloomy, and he quickly walked into the classroom of Class 7 without saying a word.

  In an instant, the noisy sound came to a sudden stop, and everyone stared blankly at the principal on stage.

  "What's going on? Weren't you guys supposed to transfer schools? How come I came in and now you're all not speaking?" Zhang Guixin gave everyone a cold, icy stare.

  Many students: "......"

  "Alright, no problem at all. You want to transfer schools? I agree, and we don't even need to wait until tomorrow. I'll process it for you right now, and I guarantee that within three minutes, your names will be removed from the student list of Qingyang No. 3 Middle School. How's that for efficiency?" Zhang Guixin said with a sarcastic smile.

  Gudong!

  A sound of swallowing saliva was very clear in the quiet classroom, and it was obvious that all the students present were frightened by the principal's words.

  "We were just kidding, we don't really want to transfer schools." A male student replied timidly.

  Bang!

  Zhang Guixin slammed his hand on the table and shouted: "If you don't want to transfer schools, then sit up straight!"

  Splash...

  All students returned to their seats at a speed they had never seen before and sat down in the best posture they had ever had since entering school three years ago.

  Zhang Guixin's expression eased a bit, and he continued: "I know what happened in the women's restroom affected you all, but we will investigate this matter clearly. As for talking about ghosts and superstition, I don't want to hear it again. Even if you can't attend university in the future, you are still educated people who have read books. Spreading superstitious ideas is first and foremost a disavowal of yourself, and it's a pitiful behavior that wastes knowledge."

  "But principal, why did our classmates end up like that? They're all unconscious now." A handsome-looking student retorted with a difficult expression.

  Zhang Guixin looked back and suddenly smiled: "You're Liu Jun, right? Not bad, you dare to ask straightforwardly, I appreciate that. However, you can't act impulsively and do some extreme things. Some students fainted, maybe they were affected by something or had some disease, all these can be analyzed and explained from a scientific perspective, why do we need to talk about it from a superstitious perspective? This won't solve the problem and will easily affect others."

  "It's easy for the principal to say, but if science can explain it, then Xu Jie has been in a coma for almost two days now, why hasn't she woken up yet? If this continues, before science can save her, she might die first." Liu Jun said sarcastically.

  Zhang Guixin was speechless for a moment before saying seriously: "Liu Jun, classmate, please trust our school. We are trying our best."

  "It's no use just talking about working hard, we need to bring Xiao Qing back quickly. If she dies like this, I will never forgive Qīngyáng Sānzhōng." Liu Jun's gaze was fixed on Zhang Guixin, and for a moment, his anger suppressed the powerful aura around Zhang Guixin.

  Zhang Guixin's face was extremely unpleasant.

  Good grief, now there's not only the problem of female toilets, but also a serious puppy love issue. It has developed to the point where they can defy the school for each other. What are these students thinking? Are they trying to defy heaven?

  "Huh? Why is it the principal teaching the class? Did I walk into the wrong classroom?" Just then, a surprised voice rang out.

  Everyone turned their heads and saw a boy standing at the door with a single-shoulder bag on his back, who was not Jiang Le. Who else could it be?

  "Jiang Le, you're back." Liu Jun suddenly stood up with surprise and delight.

  Jiang Le Xin glanced at the principal on the podium, feeling a bit embarrassed. Having skipped class for several days and just returned to school, he ran into the principal, which made him, who considered himself a good student, feel rather awkward.

  "Hey, yeah, I was sick for a few days and finally got better. Which one... Principal, I can..." Just as Jiang Le was about to come up with an excuse, Liu Jun suddenly ran out and grabbed Jiang Le, saying: "Jiang Le, quickly save Xiao Qing! She's been haunted by a ghost."

  Damn it, Xiao Qing has also been harmed?

  Jiang Le was shocked and quickly looked over, indeed Xiao Qing's seat was empty, the girl with a ponytail and a pure and lovely face had disappeared.

  "What's going on, tell me clearly." Jiang Le asked seriously, no longer pretending.

  Liu Jun's face was tearful as he said, "Xiao Qing went to the bathroom, but after entering, she let out a miserable cry and fainted. She still hasn't woken up until now. Several other female students also cried out miserably and fainted, and they're all in the hospital right now. Jiang Le, didn't you say last time that Xu Jie was possessed by a ghost? You must be able to save Xiao Qing, right?"

  Jiang Le was shocked: "What? How did that female ghost become so vicious?"

  "Female ghost? Jiang Le, you know that ghost?" Liu Jun's eyes lit up.

  "Cough, this...". Jiang Le's words got stuck in his throat. He had spoken hastily and accidentally let the cat out of the bag. But it was better if ordinary people knew less about these things.

  "Hey classmate, I also want to get to know this female ghost, can you introduce us?"

  At this time, Zhang Guixin on the podium was also smiling and asking, but in his eyes, the anger that could not be concealed could burn Jiang Le to ashes.
