Recalling the events in the Ghost Realm, Fu Jie felt utterly dejected.
The people at school…
Could they have all watched his live stream?
Wouldn't that ruin his image as the school bully?
“Fu Jie, what’s wrong?”
The teacher on the podium asked, “Or do you want to come up and answer this question?”
Fu Jie opened his mouth, “…”
Answer the question?
Yes, he seemed to have promised Sister Xin Ya that he would study hard after returning.
As for his image…
Was it easy for just anyone to latch onto the leg of the great Jiang Lin? This was something to be proud of!
Besides,
Who said school bullies couldn’t study hard and strive for progress every day?
Dazed, he went to the podium and answered the question before returning to his seat.
While thinking about listening attentively in class, he couldn’t help but question his own existence.
His expression was dazed.
Did he really just sleep?
Did he really come up with the answer to that question himself?
The world seemed to be becoming increasingly fantastical…
“Ring ring~ Ring ring~”
As soon as the dismissal bell rang, Fu Jie rushed out of the classroom.
He found Qi Yang in the adjacent class and asked expectantly, “Brother, I remember everything, what about you?”
“...?”
Qi Yang looked up, confused.
What was all this about?
Seeing this, Fu Jie realized, oh! He still hadn’t remembered?
That wouldn’t do!
They were both underachievers, they had agreed to study hard together, how could he let you run off…
Pah! How could he let you fall behind.
“Don’t worry, brother, I won’t leave you behind!”
Fu Jie patted Qi Yang on the shoulder, acting like a close friend.
“I’ll help you recall it together!”
Qi Yang: “???”
Is this person alright?
That Han Sisi from before was also…
However, Qi Yang sighed in his heart.
The only people who could still talk to him like this were probably these two brain-damaged individuals.
Not far away,
The three people who had caused trouble in the restroom earlier were also watching them, whispering amongst themselves:
“So, did Qi Yang and Fu Jie really become brothers?”
When did that happen?
“Didn’t they both take sick leave for over ten days before? Were they fellow patients?”
“That makes sense!”
The three nodded, believing they had uncovered the truth.
…
…
Qi Yang remembered everything during evening study hall.
It wasn’t because Fu Jie had explained it with great effort or vividness.
It was because the school had arranged a remedial evening study class for him and five others.
There were even dedicated teachers to instruct them.
Qi Yang was reluctant, and he had indeed refused verbally.
As a result, the principal called him into his office and told him a secret that only he knew.
At that moment, Qi Yang felt as if his head had been struck, and a buzzing sound filled his ears.
Scenes after scenes emerged from his mind, as if they had just surged up from the bottom of the sea.
‘From now on, we are brothers!’
‘Let’s go, let’s quickly go and hug the great one’s leg!’
‘Han Sisi, your humanities are better than ours, you go.’
“…”
A moment later.
Qi Yang looked at the principal in front of him and understood why the principal knew this secret.
In fact, it wasn’t just him; Fu Jie, Han Sisi, and the others had each left a secret in the Ghost Realm.
It was to be used as a contingency.
… Well, mainly to urge them to study.
The gloom in Qi Yang’s eyes dissipated, and he returned to being the Qi Yang from the Ghost Realm.
He was no longer alone.
In the Ghost Realm, he had found something more important than life.
“Thank you, Principal, I will definitely attend the remedial class.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the principal’s office door was pushed open.
Fu Jie and Han Sisi rushed in, their faces filled with surprise.
Fu Jie: “You finally remembered!”
He no longer had to be treated like an idiot.
Han Sisi put her hands on her hips, “I’m the one who’s most troubled, okay?”
She was the one who had been treated like a fool repeatedly!
Beside them, the principal smiled at the three children.
“It’s good that you remembered, it’s good that you remembered. In the future, you must help each other in your studies and strive for the final college entrance examination!”
Mentioning this, the three stiffened.
Right, they were supposed to reverse their underachiever status.
Otherwise, who knew when they might wake up and be dragged back into the Ghost Realm.
They couldn’t disobey the words of the great Jiang Lin.
The principal chuckled, “Hahaha… It’s okay, there will be teachers to guide you.”
As long as they worked hard, passing the college entrance examination should be no problem.
The principal looked at the three children in front of him, and the scenes he had seen in the live stream once again flashed through his mind.
He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
Wang Mu…
What you didn’t get to finish, leave it to us.
…
…
“How is the situation?”
Xin Ya asked at the entrance of the Ghost Realm.
Jiang Lin sensed the aura of the six people left behind and nodded:
“Their side is going smoothly, they have woken up.”
Ten cameras, ten examinees, all scored perfect marks.
Successfully escaped the Ghost Realm!
When the six underachievers woke up, Jiang Lin and the others also appeared at the entrance of the Ghost Realm.
“But…”
Xin Ya looked at the ‘door’ in front of the Ghost Realm. The Ghost Realm was still there.
This meant their gamble was wrong?
Allowing the underachievers to come out safely and face the college entrance examination did not satisfy the Ghost Realm’s obsession?
“Should we go to the mission center to explain the situation now?”
The scholar ghost messenger said this while looking at Jiang Lin.
For this mission, setting aside Xin Ya’s failure, Jiang Lin had contributed the most and played the biggest role.
Whether it was the remedial classes or the ghost energy mirror (bullet screen) that finally led them out.
“Let’s wait for now.”
Jiang Lin glanced at the camera he had left in the Ghost Realm; it had become quiet.
He tried to walk towards the entrance of the Ghost Realm.
As soon as he entered, he encountered an obstruction.
It was as if he was being shut out.
Jiang Lin sensed it and said, “This Ghost Realm is no longer pulling people in.”
He just didn’t know if it had lost its activity, or if it had simply become quiet for now because all the examinees had successfully achieved perfect scores.
“I want to wait a few more days and see how things are.”
“Alright. Now that the students are safe, and the Ghost Realm has temporarily stopped ‘enrolling students,’ I’ll be leaving.”
The scholar ghost messenger opened his folding fan and smiled,
“For this mission, I didn’t contribute much, and if it’s successful later, the reward will have nothing to do with me.”
The burly man: “I’m leaving too. Brother Jiang Lin, thank you very much this time. If you need anything in the future, feel free to come to the South Hall to find me.”
As he spoke, he took out a blue invitation and tossed it to Jiang Lin.
As a ghost messenger of the Ghost King level, he had the authority to issue a pass to the South Hall.
However, ghosts from other halls rarely interacted with them.
Unless they were ghosts they recognized.
Jiang Lin took the invitation, “Okay, see you later.”
Xin Ya stretched lazily in place, “I’ll go and see those children too. We’ll cooperate again if there’s a chance.”
“Mm.”
In a short while, except for Jiang Lin, all the other ghost messengers at the entrance of the Ghost Realm had left.
He wasn’t worried about those students; he believed the human world would handle it.
These millions of viewers in the live stream were not just for decoration.
He had resolved the matters of the underworld; the matters of the human world would be left to humans.
On the other hand, he was more interested in the guy who was setting up a pot on the rooftop to eat hot pot.
