Chapter 50: Professor An, the Teaching Maniac
Chapter 50: Professor An, the Teaching Maniac
Xiao Pangzi was jumping on the principal’s shoulder, preparing for a life and death battle.
But then.
Pei Ye did not make a move.
Seeing that she did not act, Zhu Chun’an also suppressed the urge to draw out his big sword, no, his peach wood sword.
“Everyone quiet down, return to your seats!” The ghostly figure was wearing a gray business outfit, standing in low heels, holding a baton like a pointer in her right hand. She walked toward them with bloodshot eyes, her steps crisp and forceful. “You students over there!”
Pei Ye straightened her posture and answered loudly, “Yes!”
“You are late!”
The ghost stared at Pei Ye, her pupils flickering between pure black and crimson, her tone cold and sinister.
“You were late and still kicked the door, disturbing other students in class!”
Pei Ye gave a slight bow and sincerely apologized, her face showing absolute obedience.
“Sorry, teacher. We were too anxious and lacked time awareness. Please forgive us this time.”
The ghost’s expression eased, and a faint smile appeared on her blood soaked face.
She pointed at the group of somewhat panicked and trembling ghosts inside the warehouse and said, “No next time! Hurry up and come in. Do not stand outside disturbing the students in class.”
Zhu Chun’an: “???”
The weak kneed principal: “???”
Pei Ye led the way and found an empty spot to sit down directly on the ground. Ghosts surrounded them in every direction, yet she alone sat upright with a completely serious expression.
The principal shamelessly squeezed himself between Zhu Chun’an and Pei Ye, still holding Xiao Pangzi in his arms, his massive body trembling.
(:з」∠)
The surrounding ghosts recognized them as living humans. They feared Pei Ye, but also feared angering the teaching ghost professor.
Some whispered to each other while huddling together for warmth, others simply covered their eyes, deceiving themselves into thinking that if they could not see, they were not ghosts.
Pei Ye used her mental domain to scan the surrounding ghosts and finally found Min Yizhou sitting in a corner, head lowered and spirit listless.
On the podium, the ghostly figure had already adjusted her state and continued lecturing with full focus.
Her voice was somewhat hoarse, but her condition seemed young. She was probably only in her early thirties when she died.
Pei Ye focused on Min Yizhou, while Zhu Chun’an, coming from a computer science background, listened with confusion. Only the principal, who had just been terrified, was now listening with great interest.
Xiao Pangzi asked in a low voice, “What is she teaching?”
The principal replied softly, “Biochemistry related content. Her teaching level is not low. She really has the demeanor of a professor.”
Xiao Pangzi held it in for a long time before finally saying, “This ghost... is really teaching a class?”
And she really was teaching a class.
After two hours, the large lecture finally ended, and all the ghosts stood up one after another.
Pei Ye signaled Zhu Chun’an to stop Min Yizhou, while she herself went to the podium to find the ghost professor.
The principal was still unsatisfied, but his life mattered more, so he decided to cling tightly to Zhu Chun’an.
“You are Min Yizhou?”
Zhu Chun’an stopped a certain ghost, and the principal widened his eyes in shock.
So Min Yizhou’s soul really was in the warehouse.
The ghost trembled when he heard the familiar name and looked at Zhu Chun’an with eyes that seemed like they were crying.
“You are...”
Zhu Chun’an said, “I am here to investigate the case, about your death. There are many doubts, and when we tried to summon your soul earlier, you did not respond.”
Min Yizhou fell silent after hearing this. He said softly and timidly, “I can, but I need to ask Professor An for leave first.”
Professor An?
The principal asked Min Yizhou, “Professor An? The one who was lecturing just now?”
Min Yizhou nodded.
Elsewhere, Pei Ye had already reached Professor An, who was currently examining formulas written across the abandoned blackboard, calculating something.
“Professor An, may I ask you something?”
Professor An did not like being disturbed. A trace of crimson flashed through her pitch black ghost eyes before quickly being suppressed.
Her hoarse voice asked, “What do you want to ask?”
Pei Ye said, “Among your students, is there one named Zhu Yang?”
“Zhu Yang?” Professor An frowned and said displeased, “There is one. A somewhat mischievous child.”
“Did he come to class today?”
Professor An said, “He did. Do you need him for something?”
Pei Ye smiled and said, “Yes. I have some questions for him. I wonder if Professor An could make it convenient.”
Professor An frowned and said indifferently, “He is my student.”
“I will not harm him. I only want to clarify some facts.”
After thinking for a moment, Professor An extended her blood covered right hand and held up three fingers.
“Thirty minutes. The next class is about to begin. Students must not delay their studies.”
At this moment, Min Yizhou also came over to ask for leave so he could leave for a while.
Professor An agreed very readily.
In the end, Pei Ye dragged Zhu Yang, who looked confused and hunched his shoulders, out to a shaded path outside the warehouse to talk.
Zhu Chun’an: “...”
At this moment, he had a hundred thousand questions. Both Min Yizhou and Zhu Yang were clearly here, not eaten by vengeful ghosts, not scattered, and not reincarnated in line. So why did the soul summoning fail before?
Pei Ye held a cigarette in her mouth with a weathered expression.
“Students are in class. The teacher is watching from the podium. Who would be bold enough to skip class openly?”
Anyway, she never dared when she was a student. Practical classes would get you punished by the teacher.
Zhu Chun’an: “???”
Principal: “???”
This reason...
Seriously?
Min Yizhou gave a bitter smile, and Zhu Yang cried while holding his head.
“Bro, sister, please spare me!!!”
Pei Ye flicked ash from her cigarette.
“Zhu Yang, can you explain what happened back then?”
Although Zhu Yang was not her case target, Pei Ye was a perfectionist. If a mystery was placed in front of her and not solved, she would feel uncomfortable all over.
Zhu Yang sobbed and looked full of regret.
“What do you mean what happened back then? I should never have gone to the warehouse to play that dare game. If I had not gone, I would be living so happily right now.”
Such a good youth, wasted by his own stupidity.
The principal and Zhu Chun’an looked serious.
“Were you really killed by a vengeful ghost?”
Zhu Yang wiped his face, removing tears that did not exist.
Ghosts have no tears. Even when they cry, they only shed blood tears. Zhu Yang did not even have blood tears.
“No. This is embarrassing to say. Can I not talk about it?”
Pei Ye asked back, “Because it is embarrassing, you rejected that Celestial Master who tried to summon your soul back then, right?”
Zhu Yang: “How do you know!!!”
Pei Ye said, “Because of the class schedule on the abandoned warehouse podium. At first I thought you did not respond to the summoning three years ago because you were in class. But after hearing you just now, I realized I was wrong. I remembered the schedule again. There were no classes that day. So you did not appear because you chose to refuse.”
Zhu Yang: “...”
“Speak. Stop hiding things. I hate being kept in suspense.”
Zhu Yang said aggrievedly, “That is my privacy. Why should I tell you just because you want to know?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Chun’an’s peach wood sword was placed across his neck, the cold eyes of the woman completely emotionless.
“Speak!”
Zhu Yang immediately burst into loud crying.
“Boss, I was wrong, do not do this!!!”
(╥╯^╰╥)
In front of Celestial Masters, ghosts really have no rights at all.
Pei Ye curled her lips. If she had not deliberately restrained her murderous aura, Zhu Yang might have been scared to death again.
After self studying to become a Celestial Master, she also realized how terrifying her own sinister aura was to evil spirits.
