Chapter 60: Teacher Chen, are you here to help students escape from suffering?
The principal ghost's body and expression have now returned to normal, and he no longer looks as hideous and terrifying as he did last night.
But Lin Chen still did not let down his guard, because he sold four student ghosts yesterday, which still touched the bottom line of the principal ghost who loved his students.
Therefore, even if it is the principal's ghost during the day, it is very likely that a fight will break out at any time.
At the same time, Lin Chen was also a little confused.
How did the principal ghost get in from this room protected by the horror game?
If this door couldn't keep out the principal's ghost, why couldn't he get in last night?
Principal Ghost saw Lin Chen's alert face and waved his hand hastily. He said:
"Teacher Chen, don't be nervous. I am the one who is in control during the day, and I won't hurt you. Otherwise, I would have taken action when you were sleeping soundly."
Is it really a split personality? Lin Chen's eyes moved slightly.
Seeing that the principal ghost had no intention of taking action, he felt relieved and asked:
"Principal, how did you get in?"
The principal said, "The protection mechanism of the student dormitory building was originally intended to protect the students. So when the school became a copy, I fought for it with the consciousness of the horror game."
"But this protection is only for the night. After all, students only go back to the dormitory to rest at night, right?"
What you said makes sense...
Lin Chen was speechless, and at the same time, he couldn't understand why a principal who doted on his students so much would ignite a fire that destroyed everything?
Moreover, last night he sold out four female student ghosts almost right in front of the principal ghost, but the principal ghost didn't seem to care at all and even sat down and talked to him in such a sincere tone, which made Lin Chen very suspicious.
"Principal, those four female students yesterday..."
Lin Chen was not the type to beat around the bush, so he asked directly, thinking that if there was anything wrong with the principal, he should get out of the dormitory immediately.
However, the principal ghost seemed to have been waiting for a long time. When he heard Lin Chen talking about it, he immediately replied:
"I sensed from the will of the Holy Fire that they are not dead, but have just left this world. Otherwise, if the students died, the hell mode would automatically start. In that case, even I can't control it. You have seen me in the demonic state. When I go crazy, I can't control it at all."
The sacred flame?
Lin Chen was thoughtful, and he should be talking about the strange red flame.
"From what the principal ghost said, does that red flame have its own will? Isn't that the principal ghost's skill?"
Seeing that Lin Chen didn't say anything, the principal hesitated for a long time, and finally asked while rubbing his hands, "Teacher Chen, since yesterday afternoon, you have been looking for opportunities to attack the students, and even drugged the students of Class 2 of Senior Grade 3. Could it be that you simply want to help the students escape from the control of the copy like you did last night?"
Lin Chen was thinking about the red flame in his heart. Hearing this, he nodded subconsciously and said:
"yes."
The ghost principal was so excited that he trembled all over. He could not control his emotions anymore. He said, "As expected, God has not abandoned us. In the midst of despair, he still brought us a ray of hope. Teacher Chen, you are such a kind person."
Ever since he learned that the four student ghosts had safely left the constraints of the copy, the principal ghost had some vague guesses. Although he didn't know what Lin Chen's purpose was, this was undoubtedly a way to get rid of his students.
When Lin Chen heard the ghostly howling of the principal, he was stunned on the spot.
What's wrong with the principal? How can he be so moved by his students being sold?
Seeing that the principal ghost seemed to have misunderstood something, Lin Chen immediately followed the principal ghost's words and said seriously:
"That's right! I've looked up information about our school. They're all pitiful people... No! Poor ghosts. So I decided that no matter what the cost, I must help you break free from the constraints of the copy and leave this endless looping world."
The principal ghost, who was already trembling with excitement, was so moved that he burst into tears on the spot.
"Teacher Chen, I... I really don't know how to thank you. If you are really willing to help send the students out of this world... I will definitely compensate you."
Lin Chen: "Principal, rest assured, this is a just matter. I am a man of great justice. When I encounter injustice, I will naturally help. As for compensation, since it is your plea, I will have no choice but to refuse."
Lin Chen said righteously.
Principal Gui Lianlian was overjoyed, tightly holding Lin Chen's hand, and said excitedly: "Teacher Chen, you are really... really a good person! If we had met you earlier, we wouldn't have wasted twenty years here."
At this moment, Lin Chen was almost laughing in his heart. After the battle last night, he originally thought that the evil ghost of the principal would be a big trouble that would hinder him from catching ghosts.
Unexpectedly, after a good night's sleep, the next day the principal's ghost made a big turn. Not only did he not hinder him, but he also begged him to catch ghosts.
This was the first time Lin Chen had seen such a request in his life.
Lin Chen patted the principal ghost's hand and comforted him:
"Principal, don't worry. Leave all the students to me. I will help you send them to where they should go. That is a world that is in urgent need of talents. The students are very knowledgeable. Once they go to that world, their future will be bright. Um... Principal, do you want to go first?"
As Lin Chen spoke, he took out a pink sack from his pocket and asked the principal ghost.
The joy on the principal's face suddenly froze and soon became dim. He shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't plan to leave. I felt very sorry for the students in the past and did a lot of wrong things. After sending the students away, I want to stay here to atone for my sins."
Lin Chen was anxious. You are the most valuable. How can you not leave?
Although the principal's ghost looked extremely real, Lin Chen did not completely believe what the principal's ghost said.
Therefore, as long as the evil principal ghost is sold out, Lin Chen can capture the remaining red-clothed student ghosts however he wants without having to worry about any further accidents.
Lin Chen said earnestly, " Principal, how can this be possible? Listen to Uncle Chen's advice. It's a good place there. It's useless for you to stay here to atone for your sins. Twenty years of suffering have already atone for all your sins. That fire..."
The principal's face turned painful, and he shook his head and said, "Teacher Chen, there is no need to say anything more. After nineteen days, let's send the students away on time."
???
Lin Chen no longer cared about fooling the principal. He widened his eyes and asked, "Why nineteen days later? Are you kidding me?"
The principal panicked and hurriedly explained: "How dare I play tricks on you? The main thing is that the other person in me is not willing to accept the matter of asking the students to leave the copy."
"Although he and I are one, and he was born because of me, we are ultimately two completely different consciousnesses. I think the dungeon is a kind of bondage. When the children grow up, they should go see the wider sky, but they have to be imprisoned in this dungeon like prisoners."
"He believes that the replica is not a prisoner, but a form of protection. Here, students have the blessing of the replica and are immortal. In some ways, he dotes on his students more than I do. In his opinion, it is best for students to stay here with him forever."
"So if you send the students out of the dungeon now, even during the day, my other self will be directly stimulated and forcibly appear during the day."
Lin Chen was dumbfounded. What the hell was this bug?
