Chapter 131: PE

Part of the truth from ten years ago was recovered. Zuo Jun only told the part beneficial to him and Situ An. He didn’t lie but told the selective truth. The others were so distracted by him that their anger towards him lightened.

“The past has already happened. The path has been picked.” Wang Jie held his chin. “Instead of being wrought by guilt, we should consider the present.”

“You’re right. What we need to do now is to attend the classes and take on the 51st student’s revenge and tests over the next week.” Zuo Jun looked down on them. “Listen to your orders, and the east city investigation centre will protect you. As long as you don’t purposely violate the rules, the bus will send you out a week later.”

“The only way to leave the school is through the bus. However, if we take the bus, we might face the same conundrum from ten years ago.” Gao Ming turned to look out the window. “If I want to take revenge on you, I will give you enough hope so that you’ll keep struggling. However, in the end, you’ll realise that hope is merely despair in a mask.”

Zuo Jun looked at Gao Ming, “Then, do you have other ways to leave the school?”

“If the east city centre really has the power to protect us, it wouldn’t have allowed us to be dragged in here in the first place.” Gao Ming looked at the rain outside. “Can we trust an organisation that tricked 50 living humans into entering a ghost’s trap?”

Zuo Jun hoped that the students would listen to him because the east city centre didn’t have the energy to control them. Gao Ming saw that and exposed it.

“At this place, you can only trust the east city centre.” Zuo Jun’s eyes turned dangerous as he threatened Gao Ming.

“You’re wrong. No matter where we are, the only person we can trust is ourselves.” Gao Ming drew a smiley face on the window. He knew far more than Zuo Jun.

No matter how smart Zuo Jun was, he wouldn’t have guessed that Gao Ming had visited the whole school in less than 24 hours. When the other students were asleep, Gao Ming escaped the hostel building, saved the captain from the Huan Men Investigation Centre, met up with Yan Xizhi and knew about the other big ghosts.

Gao Ming sat in his seat, and Zuo Jun looked down on him from the podium. The tension was light. The bell rang. Zuo Jun said nothing and returned to his seat.

During recess, the students found their best friends. When people were afraid, they would find their friends. Everyone was digesting the knowledge they learned in the class.

Soon, the second class started. A teacher in the centre uniform took the podium. This teacher had the Id on his chest. He looked about 60 plus and almost dying.

“Now that the first class is over, you should have an understanding of your situation. Let me help you familiarise yourself with the rules of the school.” The elder slowly opened his teaching plan. He listed down the rules for all the school buildings. The students took out their notes to record everything. They were not this serious during exams.

“Good cop, bad cop.” Wang Jie saw through the centre’s plan. The first class was to send the students into panic, and the second class was to give them aid and hope so that the students would start to trust the centre. The second class was comfortable. The old gentleman tried hies best to teach them how to survive. Everyone studied so hard. Soon, the 40 minutes were over. In the dangerous school, the class felt so precious.

The ten-minute recess was soon over, but the elder didn’t seem like he wanted to leave.

“The third period is PE.”

The first two classes were held by Situ An’s people. They represented Situ An’s rules. Gao Ming wondered when the school would strike back.

Class 13 was unique. The school would allow Situ An to control the entire class. It would do something. The bell rang for the third class, but the elder continued the class like it was normal. He noticed the shock in the students’ eyes, so he explained patiently, “Your PE teacher had today off. He’s not feeling so well, so I’ll be his substitute.”

Once he said that, heavy footsteps came from the corridor. The classroom door was pushed open. A large monster about 2 metres tall, bulging with muscle, appeared at the door.

“Why aren’t you at the gym?” The voice was like nails grating on a chalkboard. This person should be the PE gym mentioned by the old man.

“I still have some rules I haven’t explained to the kids.” The old man’s hands that held the lesson plan trembled. He glanced at Zuo Jun with a plea. “Students, do you wish to attend my class or his?”

“Learning the rules is very important to us.” Qian Junran said as the self-appointed class representative in a low voice. “In the past, we did like PE, but now…”

A giant mutated arm reached out to grab the old man by his neck. The PE teacher dragged the old man out of the class. His red eyes glared at Qian Junran. “Continue.”

“But now, we love PE class even more!” Qian Junran’s face was pale. “It’s our luck to have a buff teacher like you for our classes!”

“In five minutes, run to gather at the activity building!” The PE teacher in a red shirt didn’t have a Teacher’s ID. He was not Situ An’s people but a big ghost.

“The school rules will not let Situ An win easily.” Gao Ming stared at the man’s back. “This school has many surprises.”

The students ran to the activity building as fast as they could. The PE teacher’s performance in the class shocked everyone.

The activity building was the largest building at the school. It not only had an indoor football build but also amenities like a swimming pool and so on.

When Class 13 arrived, the school’s swim team was competing. 7 students participated, but only 3 students finished the contest. The other 4 appeared to disappear into the pool.

“Don’t look around!” The PE teacher clapped his hands. “List out the sports you’re best at and the sports you want to try. I’ll register all of you in competitions. Those who fail will be punished!”

Everyone panicked when they heard about the competition. Losing at this school might mean losing their lives.

“I’ll give you five minutes to think!” The PE teacher put the form and pen on the table and left.

Seeing the fear, Zuo Jun walked to the front and said, “Only the centre can protect you. The other teachers and students want to kill you. Only when all of you die will the 51st student appear. Therefore, you have to follow the centre’s orders!”

When Zuo Jun gave his speech, Gao Ming walked to the table with the whole class watching him. He picked up the pen and wrote down swimming in the sports that he was good at.
