The students entered different rooms, walked different paths in life and would have different endings. There were six students in the room that represented the school. They held their voting paper and looked at each other nervously.
“Everyone has their own life mission. Don’t just stand there. You can start your mission already.” Wang Jie looked at the woman across from him. Back then, the girl once confessed to Wang Jie. After so many years, the girl was already another man’s wife.
No one expected the ‘killer’ Wang Jie to enter the school. The woman ran to the door. She wanted to move to another room, but once she touched the doorknob, the lights in the room went out. The door opened. Outside the door was the busy traffic and startling highrises. You De paced nervously around. You Liang’s nightmare descended. The real society practical class had begun.
“Is everyone in the same nightmare this time?” Gao Ming touched the wall. The nightmare was more realistic than last time.
“Hmm?” Gao Ming noticed the drawings on the school wall. The horrifying drawings were Xia Yang’s creation. Xia Yang and he drew them to take revenge on the bad guys when they entered the nightmare last time.
“Xia Yang’s drawings are still here?!” The drawings were fading, but they would need a long time to disappear fully. “This is quite embarrassing. I hope You Liang wouldn’t mind it.”
Gao Ming knew how to clear the nightmare. However, he had other missions to accomplish. Therefore, he had to control the rhythm carefully.
While You De complained to the students, Gao Ming walked over, raised his hand and slapped You De while the others watched in shock!
You De was stunned as he was slapped to the ground.
“This person is the key to clear the class.” Gao Ming grabbed You De by his arm and dragged him to the other students. “Alright. You don’t need to do anything anymore. Bring him away. Go play with him.”Wang Jie looked at the collapsed You De and seemed to understand something. He and the other two girls dragged You De away.
“Didn’t you want to leave earlier?” Gao Ming turned to Du Bai, who was still standing there. “Why did you stay now? Are you waiting for someone?”
It seemed like Gao Ming could see Du Bai’s every thought. He was both afraid and unwilling. Back in school, he was very hardworking because he believed he could change his fate, but the result was very cruel. He studied hard, but his overall result was lower than Gao Ming’s. He tried his best to help the girl he liked, but that girl confessed to Wang Jie. After graduation, he worked so hard, but he only became the most normal teacher. He married someone he didn’t love through his relative’s introduction.
He was only 20 plus, but he could see his life when he was 60.
“Gao Ming…” Du Bai took a step back and raised his head. “I didn’t mean to hurt you. At least not intentionally.”
“But in terms of the results, you have hurt me.” Gao Ming sat on the road beside the school as he looked at the vehicles zooming past. “Everyone in our bedroom is very special. However, compared to Xi San and Wang Jie, you are more true to yourself. They are like the main characters in a movie, but you are the real you. When others don’t threaten your benefits, you will be very generous, funny and kind. However, once something threatens you, or something can help you achieve greater things in life, you will not hesitate to abandon the shackles of morality and humanity.”
Du Bai didn’t deny it. He only said, “They’re coming over. The game is about to end soon.”
A few minutes later, a taxi stopped at the school door. Several students got down and gathered at the door.
“Gao Ming, you’ve changed a lot even though we’ve not seen each other for only a few years.” Qian Junran and his gang surrounded Gao Ming. Qian Junran’s usual sunniness was gone. “I remember you liked to read alone and didn’t like to speak when we were in school. Who would have thought someone like you would become a psychiatrist?”
“Get to the point.” Gao Ming didn’t except Qian Junran to have such a huge class in the class.
“You should be the 51st student, right? You have the brilliance to plan everything and the power to control the human emotions and manipulate them.” Qian Junran raised his head like everything was within his control. “Don’t treat everyone as idiots. Every one of us is living carefully. Only you ignore the rules. You seem to know from the start that which rules are not dangerous.”
“I don’t think any of you are idiots, but I do think some of you have lost your brains.” Gao Ming stood up and walked to Qian Junran. “Whether I’m the 51st student or not, what can you do to me?”
In You Liang’s nightmare, Gao Ming was not afraid of anyone. Last time, he and Xia Yang suppressed the entire malice in the nightmare.
“Pride is the original sin, and you are too prideful.” Qian Junran took out a student ID from his bag. The ID had no picture, and the name was blurred out. The last digits of the school number were 51.
When he saw the student ID, the memory that didn’t belong to Gao Ming started to burn in his heart. Gao Ming narrowed his eyes as he pressed on his chest. “Did you steal that from the infirmary? I remember Doctor Lu had Doctor Huang Kong check everything. Nothing was lost.”
“We didn’t steal. We swapped.” Qian Junran looked very proud. “All of us worked together to swap the student ID with a fake one in the chaos.”
Gao Ming admitted that he had underestimated Qian Junran. “Then, why are you here now? To give me the student ID?”
“When we went to the office building to rescue Yuan Hui, there was a voice guiding us. It told us the method to destroy the school rules.” Qian Junran was so happy. After so many years, he finally won Gao Ming, “It is to find the main body of the 51st student and then kill his body and the memory he hid in our hearts together. Then, the school nightmare will end.”
“I was wondering how you rescued Yuan Hui so successfully.” Gao Ming understood the situation. The office building was Situ An’s territory. The voice they heard probably came from Situ An. The demon wanted to train the students to be his blade.
“The memories between the 51st student and us are scattered around the school. We used the spare time between classes to feel and locate them. We found many things.” The students following Qian Junran opened their bags. They took out dusty things. There was a ruler, a box to store fruits, a set of jumping ropes, an undelivered love letter…
“These objects of memories were hidden around the school. Only people from our class can find them.” When Qian Junran placed these things close to the student ID, the picture on the ID became clearer. Then, the objects that contained the memory would disintegrate and disappear forever. The students destroyed the memories before Gao Ming’s eyes.
When the last object disappeared, the face on the ID became colourful. One could see a silhouette. Qian Junran led two bedrooms of people and had been conducting the search around the school. It was their combined effort that created this new student ID.
“Are these the memory fragments the investigation centre wants to use us to find?” Gao Ming had been busy with other things, but his classmates were excellent at helping him find the fragments.
“Gao Ming, are you still pretending to be calm?” Qian Junran held the student ID and then took out a bloody knife. “Zuo Bo’s knife can kill ghosts. Even though I don’t know how he did it, that’s not important. I only care about the results.”
The knife tip hovered over the student ID picture. Qian Junran felt like he was the centre of the world. “We also don’t want to kill you, but you insist on taking revenge on us and trapping us here.”
Qian Junran said viciously as he pressed the knife down. After he pierced the picture, the foreign memory in Gao Ming’s heart bled out tears and blood.
Seeing the lack of pain on Gao Ming’s face, Du Bai asked with hesitation, “Did we get the wrong person? Didn’t the voice at the office building say that hurting the memory fragments is like stabbing the school rules? How come he’s perfectly fine?” Du Bai still felt some guilt.
“The voice said that the person who made the rules was hiding in the school. However, we can’t find him even though we’ve searched the whole school.” Qian Junran felt like there was no going back. “Therefore, there can only be one possibility. The 51st student has always been among us! He is Gao Ming!”
The students radiated killing intent. Qian Junran stole Zuo Bo’s knife. The others didn’t lag behind. Some of them obtained the cursed items at the school; some tried to use the items they bought from the canteen with merits; there were some who tricked the ghost students.
“We’ve attended two days of school, and you’ve improved so much. If our teachers hadn’t died early, they would be so proud of you.” Gao Ming held the black death portrait in his hand. He stared at the shadow behind Qian Junran silently. “I originally wanted to use the most direct method to punish all of you, but considering how hard things have been for you the past few days, I’ll go easy on you. Plus, you’ve helped me collect all the memory fragments.”
“Are you so scared that you’re rambling?” Qian Junran slowly pushed the knife into the picture. His gaze sharpened with malice. “I wish Liu Yi was here to see how ugly you are right now.”
“She probably won’t get the chance.” Gao Ming smiled as he pointed behind Qian Junran.
Qian Junran turned around subconsciously to see a giant dog about 2 metres tall open its maw!
