Chapter 497: Qiao Mu Private High School

"Miaomiao , are you okay?" Miaomiao father worriedly picked up his own lax-eyed daughter, he put the phone aside, "you drowning down first coma, then blurred consciousness, after more than a week fully awake, do not be so emotional ah, dad will be very worried about you."

"By the way, your homeroom teacher and the principal they came to see you."

Miaomiao looks up in a trance, "Who?"

Miaomiao Father patiently repeated, "The principal and the homeroom teacher."

At that time, the door of her hospital room was pushed open, and a group of men and women with grim and dusty expressions came in. The principal looked at Miaomiao's father, pulled the corners of his mouth to show a smile, and then looked at Miaomiao on the hospital bed with the salivating expression of looking at a piece of meat that has already been cooked.

Miaomiao's father subconsciously shied away from the uncomfortable gaze, but the principal soon narrowed his gaze as Miaomiao's female homeroom teacher approached Miaomiao's father, "Miaomiao's father, Miaomiao has been delayed in her study sessions lately, so let me talk to you about how to remedy the situation. Let me talk to you about how to remedy the situation."

"How about talking outside?" The female teacher glanced at Miaomiao , lowering her voice, "I'm afraid Miaomiao will hear the anxiety."

Miaomiao's father rose hesitantly, and he finally nodded, "Let's go."

The door of the ward was not closed, but Wang Miao slept in one of the beds inside, pulled the blue curtains, and could not see much from the outside. The principal stared at Miaomiao with a dark expression, and Miaomiao stared back at him in a delirious state of mind, not recognizing that this flabby, old-looking middle-aged man in front of him was the vigorous principal of the school on the previous 100-day countdown.

"You've seen the entrance exam paper, haven't you?" The principal spoke abruptly.

Wang Miao creeped out, her whole brain cleared up and she subconsciously replied back, "How do you know?!"

"How many questions can you still remember?" The principal's complexion became more and more hazy, he propped his hands on the rail of the hospital bed, his tone even became aggressive, "Your grades are okay, you can get four or five hundred points right, do you remember all the questions?"

Wang Miao was so frightened that she shrunk into a ball of fear, shaking her head from side to side, unable to say a word.

The principal took a deep breath and lowered his own hands on the railing again, stared at Wang Miao uncertainly for a moment, and opened his mouth, "It's come to this, so I'll just give it to you straight."

"I'm sure you know after seeing Gaucho Lake that all those rumors about Gaucho Lake are true."

"There's a special thing at the bottom of that lake that allows some specific students, the ones who are destined to fail the entrance exams, to see their future entrance exam results."

Wang Miao finally spoke, her voice trembling as she asked, "How did you know?"

"Because I'm a player." The Headmaster lifted his drooping eyelids, "The stuff at the bottom of this lake is the props I redeemed from the game and put in."

The words fell into Wang Miao's ears as a confused alliteration, and she looked up in bewilderment and asked rhetorically, "What did you just say?"

The principal and the two teachers next to her glanced at each other and spoke in a low tone, "She's not a player, what about Lu Yizhan over there who saved the day?"

The teacher next to him replied in a serious tone, "I've repeatedly tried Lu Yizhan in our class, he should simply be passing by to save people, and he's not a player either."

"Lu Yizhan has circled around the Gaucho Lake before, and his desire to not even be able to open the Gaucho Lake doesn't fit the player's profile."

"So who did all the questions correctly and still got out of this prop here in one piece to report us?" The principal's expression flooded with a few cruel bloodlust, "And lured the Heresy Authority over to come and take in my prop."

"Have the people we've had contact with in the game been screened?"

A teacher nodded, "We've been screened, we're all in disguise in the game and haven't been exposed, so it shouldn't be possible for a player to intentionally chase us from the game to reality to target us."

"That would be our previous guess." This principal sat down in a big horse, he smiled sorrowfully, "Some little brat in this school went into the game, got out alive by good fortune, found out that heretics and props still existed in this world, and then nosily came out and played us."

"Right." The teacher next to him bent down to concur, "Otherwise how could that [the [High School Entrance Examination Paper that couldn't be done correctly] prop that was placed at the bottom of the lake, how could someone be able to do all of them correctly, and still memorize the questions and bring them out? And then also directly took a complete college entrance exam paper and reported us directly to both the investigation team and the Heresy Administration at the same time?"

"This look is something that only players can do."

Wang Miao looked at the principal and teachers who kept talking in front of her, but she couldn't hear a single word, which reminded her of the wrong questions she had seen earlier, and couldn't help but tremble, "You guys, what are you talking about?!"

The teacher who was talking to the principal with his head bowed raised his head and looked at Wang Miao, his eyes were as contemptuous as if he was looking at a mole cricket, "Then what to do with Wang Miao, an ordinary student?"

"Handle it according to the usual practice of previous years." The principal waved his hand and got up to leave, saying impatiently, "You talk to her, I'm going back to school."

The collapsed flesh of his cheeks trembled slightly due to his anger, and he spoke with hostility, "I've asked the people below to help me sift out a list of students who might be players, and I'll verify and confirm them one by one when I return."

"If I ever find this little bugger who badgered me ......"

The principal left the ward, and on his way out he gave a friendly greeting to Miaomiao's dad who was outside the door, and it was not at all obvious that he was asking his teacher to explain something to his daughter.

In the hospital room, the teacher sat across from Wang Miao and opened the door in a businesslike manner:

"Fellow student Wang Miao, you've already jumped into the college entrance examination lake to do the questions, in the case of the existence of the things at the bottom of the lake, no surprise, the questions you do will definitely turn into college entrance examination questions, and you will definitely get the scores you got at the bottom of the lake, you should have been in a hurry to do the questions at the bottom of the lake, shouldn't you? That score isn't very pretty."

"There are two choices put in front of you now, the first is to take the entrance exam like this and then the entrance exam ends hastily."

Wang Miao retorted in a shaky voice, "I-I could have repeated the course!"

The teacher gave Wang Miao a pitying look, "Repeat? Do you think you can still read the questions?"

"Didn't you listen to me? This score must be of your high school entrance exam score, no matter how many times you repeat it."

"--This is a rule prop, that is, a prop that no matter what method is used, in the end it will definitely follow this rule."

"No. What's the second option?" Wang Miao Teeth were chattering, she didn't hear the second half of the sentence, she just asked it stereotypically.

The teacher smiled, "You tell us the topics you remember, and we'll offer them to the students who need them, as well as provide you with a nice commission."

"What do you think, Mr. Wang Miao?"

Wang Miao's mind went blank, the sky was spinning in front of her eyes, and she couldn't say a word.

Meanwhile, Xu Wei's home.

"A student who's been acting strangely in class lately?"

Xu Wei was on the phone in the living room, nodding her head in humility and trepidation while she kept saying over the phone, "Yes, yes, that's right, Headmaster, yes, Bai Liu's been behaving particularly strangely, I've collected a book from him with drawings of him and another very strange creature with him every day."

"Yeah, about the beginning of his senior year of high school, this student's behavior suddenly became strange, often talking to himself alone, saying things I couldn't understand, and then his grades had a drastic and sudden rise, he was in a bad place early on, but his senior year it was like he was helped by something, and things got better all of a sudden."

"Is there anything in particular that this student named Bai Liu wants?" Xu Wei repeated the words from the phone.

"Yes!" Xu Wei's tone perked up as she stood up, "I've heard about it before, he especially likes money, he's messed up quite a bit in that private charity orphanage thing before just to get money, and he especially likes horror games and horror creatures, he plays horror games all the time when he's not doing anything."

"He's particularly interested in horror games."

On the other side of the phone, the principal's office.

As the principal listened to Xu Wei's report, he narrowed his eyes, drew a heavy red circle over Bai Liu's name on the list of students under his supervision, and hung up the phone.

"These seventeen students are the ones screened for key suspected players." The principal swiveled his chair and flung the list of his men in front of his desk, he narrowed his eyes and raised his head, looking at the four teachers standing in front of him, their heads bowed, "Find a way to get these seventeen students to jump off the high school lake, see how they react to the props, and sift through to find out the one who is the real player."

"Especially this student named Bai Liu." The principal's finger tapped heavily on the first Bai Liu's name on the list of students, his tone obscure, "High probability that he's a player now, and he might have props on him that he brought out from the game."

"Not now, and will be in the future, focus on that and see if we can pull him onto our team."

"But this student is also the object of focus for the investigation team and the people from the Heresy Administration who came over this time." A teacher below couldn't help but speak up, "He has a special status, he's a student of the orphanage, so it's not good for us to make a direct move."

"And the people who came over to investigate this time are said to be the second team of the Heresy Authority, the captain of this team is very hard on players, so it's best if we don't let him find out that we're players."

This teacher said, couldn't help but shiver and politely prompted, "...... Principal, why don't we not make a move and find ordinary people to try Liu Bai bar?"

The principal mused for a moment.

"Headmaster, we're all strapped for points lately." This teacher couldn't help but persuade again, "Previously, buying the [Can't Do Right College Entrance Exam Papers] had already cost us a lot of points, and in these few years we've finally made our money back, and we're looking at making a profit, but this is a direct shot at the players surely we'll have to use the props again."

"We ...... don't have many points left that can be exchanged for props."

The principal's face darkened as he took a deep breath, "Got it, then I'll spend some money and find Xu Wei to test Bai Liu."

At two in the morning, Xu Wei picked up her cell phone in a daze, and after listening to two words she instantly woke up, she almost rolled out of bed, ran to the balcony, unlocked the door, and asked in a trembling voice: "School, principal, what did you just say?"

"What two and a half million?"

The principal's voice came out of the phone unhurriedly, "I don't know if you're willing to do it, Teacher Xu Wei, but I'll give you two and a half million as long as you lead Bai Liu into jumping into the lake of high school entrance exams."

"This matter is known to heaven and earth, to you and to me, and will not be known to any other person, and I can vouch for the fact that nothing will happen to you if you do it."

"Jumping high school lake?!" Xu Wei couldn't help but pull up her voice, but quickly suppressed it again, her voice shaking more and more, "So Bai Liu ...... will drown? Will I be found?"

"What does drowning or not have to do with you." The principal's tone began to get impatient, "It was supposed to be the stressful final sprint moment of the college entrance exams, he naturally had ten thousand reasons for going to jump into the lake, in any case, nothing will happen to you."

"Then, you let me reconsider."

Xu Wei hangs up the phone almost in a weak state, and she slowly slides to the ground, looking up at her new home in a daze.

She took out a loan to buy this home after she started her career at Qiao Mu High School. It's right next to the school, at $40,000 a square foot, and is a notoriously rich neighborhood, where all the parents of the students in the school are rich and famous, and Xu Wei dreamt of being one of them, so she was crazy to buy a home here.

Ended up buying it too.

But with a monthly mortgage of 20,000 yuan, she has to pay it back for thirty years, because of the recent investigation, she can't even afford to pay the mortgage, and even more recently, because Bai Liu refused to sign a letter of understanding for her, Xu Wei heard the gossip that the investigation team said she had problems with the teacher's morals and ethics, and had begun to think about revoking her teaching qualification certificate.

If she can't have money coming in, soon she'll have to move out of here.

Xu Wei's eyes slowly fell down, through the glass of the balcony to the letter of understanding on the coffee table, which was pressed down by the porcelain cup.

The name Bai Liu wrote on the letter of understanding is still the same [orphan from the orphanage].

Right, Bai Liu is an orphan, no one cares about drowning, she only induced Bai Liu to jump into the lake at most, even if she can be held responsible after the incident, it is at most a moral condemnation, and she can get two million dollars to go away, how to do this deal is cost-effective.

Xu Wei takes a deep breath and just as she tries to hold herself up, she sees a humanoid shadow standing in front of the coffee table, which scares Xu Wei so much that she almost screams out in pain, only to find out that it's her own son, Bao Kangle, when she takes a closer look.

Bao Kangle's eyes were all red and bloodshot, and his face was an almost frenzied excitement, "Mom, I hear you, there's two million dollars to be had."

"I'll help you get Bai Liu off the lake!"
