First Volume_Chapter 337  Weird Manhua (7)

Jiang Zhi walked forward, casually saying: "This morning I saw a teacher hanging outside the railing, very scary."

Jiang Jize walked beside her, reassuringly saying: "Teacher, you don't need to be afraid, I will protect you."

Jiang Zhi sneered in her heart.

—Protect me? I see you just want to sleep with me!

Maintaining a fearful expression, she pondered for a moment and asked: "Jiang classmate, do you know who that teacher is? I just came to the school, I don't know anyone."

Jiang Jize's face flushed, he desperately suppressed it, smiling as he asked: "If I tell the teacher, what benefit can the teacher give me?"

Jiang Zhi's leg on the stairs almost stumbled, her lips pressed tight, she whispered: "What benefit do you want?"

As her words fell, the blond-haired boy grabbed her wrist and pulled her into a deserted corner.

Holding her captive in his arms, Jiang Jize, much taller than her, excitedly embraced her slender waist, feeling the soft, delicate skin beneath her clothes, his scorching eyes full of blatant desire, his fingertips brushing her cheek, pressed to her ear, he hoarsely said: "I want you……"

The following words were unbearable to hear; seeing him, Jiang Zhi couldn't help but recall a pervert from the punishment world, the pervert who knocked on her door in the middle of the night.

"No… cannot." She strained to struggle, breaking free from his embrace, her steps staggered as she ran.

Standing in the dark corner, Jiang Jize curled his lips, watching her back as if watching prey about to fall into a trap.

He licked his thin lips, his breath hot.

"So soft."

…

Having run to the office, Jiang Zhi finally managed to catch her breath; running left her mouth dry, she walked to her seat and poured a cup of water to drink.

Too perverted.

Jiang Zhi slumped in her seat, panting.

Her movement attracted several nearby teachers; their eyes were empty and lifeless, like marionettes, with several transparent threads controlling them.

That gaze was extremely disgusting.

Jiang Zhi felt terrified, she shifted her gaze elsewhere.

"Tomorrow is the monthly exam; my class are all good students, we will surely rank in the top ten of the grade."

"Just until the monthly exam? That's too fast."

Behind them, two teachers were chatting.

Jiang Zhi listened for a while, not paying much attention to this monthly exam.

【Monthly Exam: a small climax point in the supernatural manhua; the school's senior year has twenty classes total; if a class's ranking falls below the top ten, it will receive punishment.】

Jiang Zhi froze: "What punishment?"

【The homeroom teacher's flesh is eaten by the other teachers.】

Jiang Zhi: "？"

How could it say such horrifying words in a calm tone?

【Even if your heart stops, consciousness and pain sensation remain, until the last piece of flesh is eaten.】

Jiang Zhi's vision darkened: "My class spends all day sleeping, playing games, and chatting; we will definitely be last in the grade."

【So, you now only have one option: steal tomorrow's monthly exam answers and show them to the students in your class.】

Jiang Zhi weakly retorted: "Do you think those problem students would listen and memorize the answers?"

Even if they knew the answers, they wouldn't answer seriously.

We're doomed.

She slumped over the desk, lifeless.

Suddenly she realized: when she entered this office, why did those teachers look at her so strangely?

As if they were looking at a delicious dish.

【You can raise the favorability of the (4) class students.】

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi asked doubtfully: "What use is it?"

【To make them answer seriously.】

Jiang Zhi gave a pale smile: "With so many students, can I raise their favorability enough?"

【Then there is only one way left.】

"What?"

【Escape.】

Jiang Zhi exclaimed: "You want me to escape?"

【Otherwise, go die?】

The system's voice sounded fierce, but couldn't hide its concern inside.

Jiang Zhi laughed upon hearing it: "I didn't even know, you care about me this much."

【I… I am only concerned about myself! If you die, I'm gone too!】

The tsundere system made a final struggle.

Jiang Zhi perfunctorily replied: "Yes yes yes."

Seeing her still seated, the system was bewildered.

【You're not running?】

Jiang Zhi propped her chin and said: "Running would be useless too."

This is her mission world; without completing the task, escaping to a safe place is also useless.

【Oh.】Coldly indifferent.

Jiang Zhi suddenly stood up, preparing to look for the school's archives.

I need to figure out what's going on with this school.

After leaving the office, she slowly made her way up from the first floor, searching each room for the archives.

By the time she reached the top floor, the thick burnt smell had intensified; she forced down her fear and proceeded to the corridor entrance.

The corridor was as dark as night, its railings sealed shut with wooden boards, letting in not a hint of sunlight.

【Don't go past.】

Jiang Zhi halted and asked, 'Why?'

【Danger.】 Brief and to the point.

Jiang Zhi pulled from her bag the flashlight Wen Chijin had given her the night before, turned it on to light up the whole burnt-black corridor—walls peeling, blotchy, and utterly silent.

The temperature had clearly fallen, leaving it dank and chilly; despite no breeze, occasional gusts blew against her neck.

"A fire broke out here, killing quite a few people, didn't it?" she said.

The system gave no further reply—apparently it couldn't spoil the plot.

Jiang Zhi speculated, 'The fire reached the fourth floor—that's our Class 4 classroom.'

System: 【……】

Jiang Zhi realized there was an issue.

The school is run under closed management—students cannot leave the campus. The principal rounds up the undisciplined, troublesome students, puts them all in one class, and assigns new teachers to teach them.

Moreover, students who kill on campus face no consequences—it's a totally permissive regime.

Taken together, they're contradictory and bizarre.

She suddenly remembered a message 777 had sent her.

【'Weird Manga': They inadvertently entered a horror comic's world, where a killer hides among them……】

The killer appears to be the red-haired Cheng Xiao.

But who are they?

What does this have to do with this school?

Just as Jiang Zhi was lost in thought, a piercing sound rang out.

Like nails on a chalkboard, it was excruciatingly shrill.

Jiang Zhi broke out in gooseflesh, turned to flee, but a hand clamped tightly around her ankle, halting her.

She didn't dare look down; tears wetted her curled lashes, silently tracing from the corners of her eyes, her hand shaking on the flashlight as the sharp noise grew closer, finally stopping behind her.

Suddenly.

A figure approached, snatched the flashlight from her grasp, took her hand, and led her away from the top floor.

As the bright sunlight from outside washed over her, Jiang Zhi—like a drowning victim—jolted awake, gasping violently, her wobbling, near‑collapsing body sinking into the arms of the boy standing before her.

She clung to him like a drowning person clutching a straw, her voice choked with sobs muffled against his chest.

"There… there's a ghost…"
