Everyone believed there was something wrong with the health class. No one dared to volunteer, so they volunteered this chance to Gao Ming.
“You all sure have confidence in me.” Gao Ming felt like he was mentally healthy, but Xia Yang’s consciousness was hidden in his mind. The crazy artist was not just mentally unstable, but even his soul was mangled and twisted.
Sensing Gao Ming’s difficulty, Zhou Sisi pursed her lips in the crowd. In the class, only she knew Gao Ming’s ‘secret’. The innocent-looking Gao Ming might be the hidden music box killer. He could even laugh during You Liang’s experiment. How could someone like him be mentally healthy?
“If Gao Ming is exposed during this class, he might be sent to the infirmary. The other students will ostracise him and might even vote him out next time.” Zhou Sisi struggled internally. Seeing Gao Ming’s hesitation, she eventually walked out before Gao Ming said anything. “I’ll be the volunteer.” Zhou Sisi said as she walked to the health teacher. “I just had a health check before coming here. I should be fine.” While everyone else was trying their best to throw other people under the best, Zhou Sisi volunteered to take Gao Ming’s stop.
Just as Zhou Sisi said that, Cai Meimei and two girls pulled her back. “Have you lost your mind? This is too dangerous. Your life is more important than your love!”
“This is not about love. But…” Zhou Sisi found it so hard to explain the situation. The ghost students in the class looked at this development with interest.
“Stop wasting time. Girl, please come to me.” The health teacher held Zhou Sisi’s hand. Her voice was melodious. She had Zhou Sisi sit on the various devices. She checked Zhou Sisi’s vitals and announced the results. Most of the devices in the health classroom came from the investigation centre. The physical rating was similar to the rating used by the investigators. The strange-looking devices were not as dangerous as they imagined. The health teacher expertly conducted all the tests on Zhou Sisi. Overall, Zhou Sisi had a good physique, other than a lack of endurance.
She gained the health teacher’s praise. The teacher even put a stamp on her form. The stamp was like the stamp placed on livestock that was about to be slaughtered.
“The body check is over. A healthy student not only has to have a healthy body but also a healthy mind.” The female teacher led Zhou Sisi by her hand and walked towards the innermost wall of the classroom. Beyond that wall was the infirmary.
“The students at our school are normally under a lot of mental pressure. They will often feel anxious, pain and consistent depression without any reason. These are very dangerous.” The health teacher handed a small notebook to everyone from Class 13. “To prevent the children from getting any mental problems, we’ll conduct scheduled visits and examinations. Children with unstable mental conditions will be sent individually into the infirmary for treatment.” All the students became nervous when they heard that. Even Zuo Jun’s expression paled. The office building was Situ An’s territory, but the infirmary appeared to be very special.“Our country has the best devices. They can even detect personality defects and psychological problems that even you might not have noticed in yourself.” The health teacher pulled back a black curtain. On the wall between the health classroom and the infirmary were paintings of an open window, a door, and a large mirror encased into the wall.
“This mental health class is for you to better understand yourself. This is a rare opportunity for you to have a talk with the other you deep inside your soul.” Holding Zhou Sisi’s hand, the health teacher led her to the painted window. “Sisi, there is a window before you. Can you picture it in your mind?” The teacher covered Zhou Sisi’s eyes and guided her with the softest voice.
“I can. It is the window I saw painted on the wall.” Zhou Sisi felt a bit scared after her eyes were shut. She involuntarily spoke fast.
“Relax. I need you to look out the window. What can you see?”
“It’s summer. There are many flowers on the windowsill. There is a grass plain down the distance. The river is bubbling, and there are a lot of fish.” Zhou Sisi saw the image come alive.
“Very good.” The health teacher slowly led her to the mirror while keeping her eyes closed. “Now, there is a mirror before you. Can you tell me what are you wearing?”
“I’m wearing mountain-climbing gear. I look fine.”
“You are about to hike up a climb. It is a challenge for you, but you don’t feel fear. Instead, you feel excited, right?”
“Yes.” Zhou Sisi’s tone changed subtly. After her eyes were covered by the health teacher, it was like she was really led into a dream.
“Alright. You’re all ready. Now, you’re in front of a door.” The health teacher nudged Zhou Sisi to the painted door. “Can you see the door?”
“Yes.”
“Now, I need you to grab the doorknob and slowly open the door. Behind the door are the things in your mind earlier.” The health teacher guided her step-by-step. As if hypnotised, Zhou Sisi slowly raised her hand. She wanted to touch the painted doorknob, but at that moment, her arm bled. The blood-red student council under her uniform pierced her flesh.
“Why don’t you open the door? It’s flowers, sunshine and light outside the door…”
“No. I can’t…” Zhou Sisi’s voice came intermittently, and her breathing picked up. “There’s someone standing outside the door! The flesh on his face is blurred together! It’s him! He’s the one laying beside my bed that night!” Her body shivered. Zhou Sisi wanted to move back from the door, but the gentle-looking health teacher was surprisingly strong. “How can you know he’s outside the door when you haven’t even opened it?”
“He’s waiting for me! He’s waiting for us! He’s standing outside the room. He has never left!” Zhou Sisi’s veins popped on her neck. She was at her limit. The scariest thing was, as Zhou Sisi described it, the door painted on the wall started to open. About half a minute later, everyone in the class heard the clear knocking sound.
“It’s him! The 51st student is standing outside!” Zhou Sisi’s arm that had the red badge flung about. The health teacher didn’t expect this resistance. She quickly let go.
The moment the teacher’s hand left Zhou Sisi’s eyes, Gao Ming noticed there was a crack in the middle of the health teacher’s palm. There was an eyeball hidden in the crack.
Zhou Sisi collapsed to the ground. She couldn’t remember what she saw, but her limbs were cold, and she couldn’t stand up.
“This student’s body is very healthy, but her mind is a tad unstable. Overall, she has passed.” The health teacher looked at the rest. “Who will go next? All of you will have to take this check once before you can leave.”
The health classroom door closed when they didn’t pay attention. No matter how hard they pulled, the door wouldn’t budge. The student council could barely help itself, so the council wouldn’t have time to come save them like before. Some of the students gradually surrendered and took the tests.
“The danger level of this class will vary depending on the individual.” Wang Jie nudged Gao Ming, “When do you think our bedroom should take the test? Get it over with early or wait until later?”
“I suggest we let the ones with stability go first.” Gao Ming thought about it. “Zhou Sisi can be considered the happiest girl in our class, but even she saw something terrifying. I’m trying to figure out the purpose of this class. Was it set by the 51st student to test us?”
“I have a simple solution to verify that. We’ll just find someone not from Class 13 to take the test.” Wang Jie turned to Ji Fe. “Ji Jie’s brother is not from Class 13. He also worked for five years for the government. He’s mature and reliable.”
Ji Fu’s face paled. He shook his head, but Wang Jie didn’t plan to let him go.
Seeing his brother in trouble, Ji Jie quickly ran over. “Wang Jie, what are you doing?”
“Don’t misunderstand. I just think that your brother is very mature and reliable, so we want to let him take the test first.” Wang Jie was scared of the ghost behind Ji Jie. The invisible ghost was terrifying.
“My brother was heavily injured by his boss when he went to demand for late payment. He was sent to prison for five years and just exited last month. How can you tell that he’s mature and reliable?” Ji Jie’s words embarrassed Ji Fu greatly.
Gao Ming and Wang Jie turned to stare at Ji Fu. “Didn’t you say you worked for the government for five years and just started your own business?”
“That is not wrong. The prison is part of the government, right?” Ji Fu’s face turned beet red. He walked to the health teacher.
“Bro! I didn’t know that was what you told them!” Ji Jie chased after his brother and apologised profusely. To prevent his brother from doing something stupid, he handed in his form first.
The health teacher was very happy seeing the brothers fight to take her exams. She accepted Ji Jie’s form. “Ji Jie?”
“Yes.” Ji Jie nodded.
“You can take the physical exam first. If there’s no problem, we’ll conduct the psychological exam.” The teacher put away the forms and helped the others with the devices. Gao Ming used this chance to run to Ji Jie. He shoved Teacher Xia’s portrait into his pocket.
“Can I help you?” Ji Jie saw Gao Ming at Building 6 the night before and he also spoke up for him in the morning class. He believed Gao Ming was the same kind of person as he was.
“I saw the teacher’s palm earlier. There are two eyeballs in the middle of her palm. Be careful when you take the tests.”
“Okay. I’ll pay attention to that.” Ji Jie nodded. “Thank you. You’re very kind.”
