Class Teacher System

Chapter 76: This world is unscientific (7)

Teacher Ren suddenly had an ominous premonition and almost couldn’t stop himself from turning around. However, he still steadied himself and firmly decided that he needs to pay attention to Zhang Lian Fei for the next 3 days. Everything that this kid said today was completely setting up a death flag for himself. Threatening the existence of an organisation that’s very likely to be an evil cult would certainly not lead to good consequences.

Approximately 5 minutes later, they arrived at the Discovery Books Society store at the end of the street. Judging from its appearance, this was a very hipster bookstore. There were quite a few brightly coloured potted plants arranged in front of the store as well as beautiful landscape photos posted on the transparent glass. Through the glass, they could see several tables by the window area available for students and other guests to read books and chat. Further in were rows of bookshelves with books arranged in a patchy manner. The bookstore was lit with a warm yellow light, making people feel very comfortable.

“Wow, this looks really different from what I imagined.” Ren Zhu walked in and looked around. “I really like this kind of bookstore.”

Beside him, Yi Xiao’s eyes flashed when he heard this and once again turned to look at the bookstore in his eyes. This was the first time that he felt doubtful of the tastes of his preset partner. He actually thought that such a dark gloomy place was very beautiful?

Then he would definitely like our Yi family’s old residence, recognised by Xuan Dao as the place with the darkest energy.

“Let’s take a look around. Also, remember to pay attention to him.”

Yi Xiao nodded. He decided not to argue with his partner on his tastes. In his eyes, this bookstore was completely full of holes. With just a glance, he could already determine where the darkest and easiest place to use demonic techniques in the bookstore was. Master Yi didn’t like to talk, but he used his actions to express why people should worship him — he directly moved a chair to sit in the corner of the bookshelf on the far west side of the bookstore. He then pulled out a random book and started to read. In fact, he was just silently meditating under the guise of reading a book.

At this moment, a girl just happened to walk to this bookshelf. Her target was a book in the middle of the shelf, but she discovered that someone had moved a chair there and was sitting under where the book was. Also, in his hand……

The girl instantly covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming, her eyes filled with shock but also excitement. She quickly turned around and left. Honestly speaking, if it weren’t because that handsome guy looked too imposing, she would definitely take out her phone to snap a few pictures!

Ren Zhu roughly looked over the genres of the books here and found that most of them were about dreams, romance, as well as horror and suspense. In addition, there was also a large category of Xuan Xue books such as ‘Teaching you how to read palms’, ‘Successful people’s facial characteristics’ and ‘You can remember to find your own luck with love’. Ren Zhu pulled out a copy of ‘Successful people’s facial characteristics’. Flipping through the book, he found that everything it said was nonsense.

This really wasn’t a standard bookstore.

Thinking this, Teacher Ren then saw Li Yao whisper something to Zhang Lian Fei. Zhang Lian Fei’s face was full of disdain, but he didn’t say anything and went with Li Yao to the west side of the bookstore. Ren Zhu quickly followed and then realised that Li Yao was actually leading Zhang Lian Fei to the corner of the bookstore that was least likely to be discovered by others. Ren Zhu was about to continue following when someone suddenly came out from the bookshelf in front and bumped into him. The books she was carrying were also knocked to the ground.

Ren Zhu could only take his eyes off Li Yao and bend down to help this girl pick up her books.

While picking up the books, Ren Zhu’s hand accidentally touched the girl’s. In that split second, a dark cold energy instantly passed over, causing Ren Zhu’s heart to jump. He looked up at the girl in front of him and found that something didn’t seem quite right with her. Her complexion was too pale, but her lips were very red. If it were only this, then it could be considered that this girl just liked this kind of makeup. However, her pair of eyes were very dull and lifeless, looking just like a puppet.

Teacher Ren suddenly felt that although it was clearly daytime, this place seemed particularly eerie. “You……”

“What is your problem?! Can’t you move somewhere else to read your book? The two of us are talking here.”

Ren Zhu was just about to say something when he vaguely heard the sound of a quarrel coming from the back. This was clearly Li Yao’s voice. Hence, Ren Zhu quickly picked up the books and gave them to the girl before turning to walk to the back.

He saw a very funny scene —

Master Yi looked just like he was intentionally standing in the way and causing trouble. He sat right in the innermost corner, holding a book in his hand. Compared with Li Yao’s angry and flustered expression, Yi Xiao’s emotionless face looked particularly pleasing.

“Did you hear what I said?!” Li Yao couldn’t understand why someone would move a chair to sit here. The books in this corner were all really weird okay!

Master Yi glanced at her and then lowered his head to continue reading without saying a word.

Li Yao has dealt with countless men before, but she felt that she really couldn’t handle this guy who looked normal but was actually very perverted deep down: “I really didn’t expect that there would be someone like you in this world! Forget it, let’s go somewhere else!”

Zhang Lian Fei initially didn’t agree with Li Yao, but after glancing at the book that Master Yi was holding, his mouth twitched and he immediately turned around.

Ren Zhu then saw Li Yao and Zhang Lian Fei come out from the corner with indescribable expressions on their faces. His face full of question marks, he went inside and instantly saw the book that Yi Xiao had randomly chosen — ‘Please ravage me gently’.

Ren Zhu: “……” I really couldn’t tell that you were this kind of person!!!

Yi Xiao realised that Ren Zhu had come, but his expression was a little strange. Yi Xiao didn’t mind it and simply said: “Nothing will happen if I sit here. You can keep looking around.”

Ren Zhu looked at the book in his hand and his mouth twitched. He nodded: “Okay, then I won’t disturb you.”

He then followed closely behind Zhang Lian Fei while carefully observing everyone in this bookstore. The more he looked around, the more he felt that there was something seriously wrong with this place.

At this moment, Li Yao had led Zhang Lian Fei to sit at a table by the window and ordered two cups of milk tea. Ren Zhu fixed his eyes on the person making the milk tea and a strange feeling rose in his heart.

He couldn’t wait any longer.

Pulling out a copy of ‘Succeed in studying’ from the shelf, he walked directly to Li Yao and Zhang Lian Fei’s table. “Zhang Lian Fei, have you finished writing your fitness report? You actually have the time to chat and drink milk tea with your classmate? Hurry up and go back to write your report. Do you want to run a hundred laps around the sports field as punishment?!”

As soon as Teacher Ren’s reprimand appeared, Zhang Lian Fei was instantly affected. He shot up and nervously said: “Uh, Teacher. I’ll immediately go back and write it!”

Saying this, he then ran out of the bookstore without turning back, looking as though he had committed a huge crime.

“H-He left just like that?” Li Yao looked dumbfounded. “He still hasn’t drunk his milk tea.”

Ren Zhu revealed a benevolent smile: “Ah, then I’ll pay for these two cups. As his teacher, I really don’t want to see him falling behind. Anyway, you’re Li Yao right? Have you finished your homework? There’s not many books here that can be used for studying.”

Li Yao had an inexplicable urge to apologise and then hurry back to write her homework. In any case, today’s task has been completed. She just needs for wait for the next 3 days. It wasn’t worth wasting any more time here and potentially attracting people’s suspicions. “Uh, okay. I’ll go back and do my homework.”

Teacher Ren smiled: “That’s a good girl.”

Li Yao: “……” It’s been a long time since I’ve been a good girl.

After Li Yao and Zhang Lian Fei left, Yi Xiao finally came out of the corner. He no longer had that evil book in his hand, looking extremely honest and upstanding.

“Let’s go.”

“Oh.”

The two of them walked out the door together. After they left, the bookstore’s owner looked up from his seat with a very odd expression on his face. He suspected that this place might have been discovered by Xuan Dao’s people, but the interior had been specifically arranged such that this place wouldn’t be easily discovered by others. However, Yi Xiao really was sitting on top of the bookstore’s array just now. It was just that…… he was also reading that book so seriously. In the end, was it just a disguise or did he really have that kind of interest?!

“What have you found? Let’s compare notes?” Ren Zhu said as they walked down the street. “I think that there is something very wrong with that bookstore. The students and adults inside are like puppets; their bodies are also very cold. They seem to really like drinking milk tea. There was a girl who came in and ordered a cup. When we left, she had already drank 3 big cups. No matter how much someone likes milk tea, they usually wouldn’t act like this, right? So, there must also be something wrong with their milk tea!”

Yi Xiao understood more of the situation: “The bookstore is eroding their spiritual knowledge and souls. They are like puppets because they have lost their human souls, hence becoming dull and lifeless. However, this kind of eroding couldn’t have happened instantly. It takes a long time. So, that milk tea should be the bait for them to frequently come here.”

Ren Zhu immediately understood. “Then is this what happened to Pang Fei?”

Yi Xiao shook his head: “Pang Fei’s birthday is special. He should have been directly pulled underground. Oh, there should be a space built under the bookstore; the dead people are probably all inside. Also, the place I was sitting at has the darkest energy in the entire bookstore. Once someone walks there, it’s very easy to be directly pulled down.”

“So Pang Fei was pulled down?! Today, Li Yao was luring Zhang Lian Fei to also be pulled down?!”

Yi Xiao nodded: “It seems like it.”

Ren Zhu sneered: “This is really…… Should we go catch them?”

Yi Xiao shook his head: “Police.” Such a large-scale death case, even if Xuan Dao gets involved, they also need to report to the country and the police. However: “Tonight, I can bring you to take a look underground and see if we can catch the biggest suspect.”

Ren Zhu firmly nodded. At this moment, they had already walked up to the car, but they didn’t find Pang Fei, who should be waiting here like a prisoner allowed out for fresh air.

“Where’s Pang Fei?”

Yi Xiao frowned and suddenly started to walk ahead in big strides. Ren Zhu quickly followed behind him, but before he could take a couple steps, he heard the loud ear-piercing sound of tires screeching as well as the shrieks many onlookers!

“Ah—-! Be careful!”

“Hurry up and run!”

“Oh my god! There’s a car accident!!”

Ren Zhu’s heart sank and he changed into a run. He then saw that in the street in front, a van and a sedan had crashed into each other. And in the crack between the two cars, Zhang Lian Fei was standing there looking deathly pale and extremely shocked.

In Ren Zhu and Yi Xiao’s eyes, they could also see that there was a mass of dark energy behind Zhang Lian Fei. Although that mass looked particularly menacing, it was tightly wrapped around Zhang Lian Fei as though protecting him.
