Chapter 115 Behind

Since ancient times, adults had the tradition to teach kids lessons through stories.

Whether it was about vanity or having the two step sisters’ heels chopped off in ‘Cinderella’, or having a malicious queen nail their body into a cask like in ‘Snow White.’

The punishments they had suffered were extremely cruel, but as kids read the fairy tales, no one felt that these were odd.

The evildoers deserved to be punished.

As a result, after reading through the story, the majority of the kids felt that it was yet another story filled with lessons.

After the little girl sat down and another child stood up, saying, “Teacher, I’ve also read through it! When we go to the zoo to play, do not leave your little brothers and sisters beside the pond. Or else, the younger siblings will definitely drown!”

“Right, there’s also kids should not be greedy with food. Once Li Hua saw the sugar-coated hawthorns, he completely forgot about his little sister, he is not a good kid!”

“…”

So, a child who couldn’t bear it anymore raised their hand and said, “Teacher, if we also answer the question, will we get some chocolate to eat too?”

“Yes, whoever answers well, Teacher will give them chocolate.”

Ning Xiuli’s face still brought a smile, her gentle voice winning over the remaining students.

After the students finished eating, the classroom resumed its quiet atmosphere.

However, the students’ eyes all emitted green energy, all fixing their gazes on Ning Xiuli, just like hungry wolves. Their right hands were poised and ready to raise their hands to answer the questions.

For a while, the classroom’s mood was very warm. As the students dove into active participation, 30 minutes had already passed without notice.

There were still 10 minutes before class was out when Ning Xiuli stopped the lecture.

She walked towards the podium and opened the projector.

The screen was glowing with white fluorescent light, and a picture of a zoo appeared in front.

The picture on the screen is clearly the sixth picture in the textbook.

Li Hua and the faded corpses stood together in front of the zoo, smiling together.

However, the pictures on the projection were slightly different from the pictures in their textbooks.

In the sixth picture in the textbook, Li Hua was facing them, but on the projection, Li Hua’s head glanced to the right, still grinning happily, with his mouth wide open, everyone wondering who he was talking to.

“Students, now look up at the picture on the whiteboard. You must be curious, why did Li Hua turn his head here?”

“It turns out that Li Hua made a friend at the zoo, and he was talking to his friend…”

While Ning Xiuli was talking, it was rapidly getting darker outside.

Under the chocolate’s temptation, the students concentrated on the class. Bai Yan was also staring at Li Huo on the white screen, his eyes unconsciously flowing out bloody tears.

Bai Yan felt his eyes sting, as though his eyes were on fire.

As a result, he lifted his hands to wipe on his painful eyes, finding out that the muddy red liquid sticking to his hands was actually—— blood.

A similar situation like this happened when the insurance ghost was forcing him to buy life insurance.

At that time, he also felt pain in his eyes, and in an instant, they also started bleeding.

While there wasn’t enough time to think about it back then, since he was crying blood, he quickly fainted. And, by the time he woke up, the corpse retrievers arrived at his house and called the person-in-charge of the ‘Special District.’

Immediately after, he was brought to the ‘Special District’ school to study in.

Everything unfolded in such a short time frame that he basically didn’t have the time to look back on it.

But now, in this classroom filled with the scent of chocolate, he finally remembered this matter.

Why… Why were his eyes crying blood?

Bai Yan opened his eyes wide, his grey irises gradually being influenced by the crimson stain.

He directly looked at Li Hua shown on the projector, but the more he looked, the more his eyes hurt.

Under the strong irritation, Bai Yan couldn’t help but hang down his eyes, slightly shifting his line of sight.

When he closed his eyes, the burning temperature began to reduce, and the painful irritation on his eyes also gradually disappeared.

However, Bai Yan didn’t feel relief when the pain lessened.

As he closed his eyes, a numbing sense of danger wrapped around his scalp.

The source of danger was the screen.

Bai Yan opened his eyes a little, avoiding the dim fluorescent light of the screen, only staring directly at Ning Xiuli’s face.

On the podium, Ning Xiuli was still smiling, and her voice had not changed, but the tone of her voice had a strange secluded chill to it.

“Completing the story, Li Hua had made a friend in the zoo. Unfortunately ah, our new textbooks don’t have the ending printed out, so Li Hua’s new friend isn’t in the story…”

Ning Xiuli looked full of regret, but in the next instant, she resumed her smiling face, only the fluorescent light contrasted the smiling expression, looking incomparably gloomy and chilling, “Li Hua’s friend has disappeared, so he’s quite lonely. Everyone is a good kid, definitely won’t let Li Hua be lonely, right?”

“Before our afternoon class, Teacher wants to play a short game with everyone. Quickly, Li Hua inside the book will come to our classroom to choose a classmate to become her friend. Everyone spoke so eagerly earlier, everyone was so enthusiastic. Teacher believes that you guys will definitely like Li Hua!”

Once Ning Xiuli’s voice fell, the sky outside the classroom was completely dark.

Even the classroom was also turning pitch-black, with only the projector giving off an unnatural white light, causing Ning Xiuli’s face to look deathly pale, appearing especially odd.

However, no one was paying attention to Ning Xiuli at this point, because Li Hua was on the screen, and he passed through it.

Li Hua even passed Ning Xiuli and took two steps on the platform.

After he descended from the platform, the projector went off, and the classroom’s only source of light disappeared.

Li Hua faded into the darkness, even the sounds of his footsteps disappearing without a trace.

Li Hua, he was a fictional character from the textbook.

He wasn’t an existing ‘person,’ so his feet couldn’t have made any sounds.

The classroom was eerily quiet, the noiseless atmosphere fostered a sense of terror to build up.

If you could hear footsteps, you could still determine if the ghost was far from you.

But nothing could be seen, and everyone could only carelessly guess what was happening, which instead added to everyone’s fright.

Where was he?

Where did he go?

Was he standing right beside me now?

The sobbing children covered their mouths one by one, not daring to issue out a sound for fear of being found by Li Hua, causing them to be dragged into the book to become his friend.

Amid the darkness, Bai Yan’s back was straight, sitting on the chair without making a single move.

At this time, making any kind of sound would attract the ghost’s attention.

Bai Yan held his breath, counting his heartbeat in this deathly still darkness.

Like the other children, he also couldn’t hear the ghost’s footsteps, but as he listened to the stifled breaths in his surroundings, he suddenly thought of a matter.

He remembered that the words of the textbook——

[On Saturday, Li Hua brought his mom and dad, and his little sister to the zoo to play.]

Generally speaking, it should be the adult that brought the kids to the zoo to play.

But in the text, why was it Li Hwa who had brought his parents to the zoo?

At that time, Bai Yan paid close attention to all the strange things in the images but simply didn’t mind the short text written.

Now, he finally sensed something was amiss, but he discovered this far too late.

In ‘Happy Zoo,’ the mom, dad, and sister were all normal at the beginning. The real problem was Li Hua, who seemed to be the most strange among them.

Li Hua was the ghost!

He sent the whole family to the zoo and watched the situation unfold!

Bai Yan finally understood the real ‘text’ of the book, but knowing now was useless.

In the thick darkness, his back straightened from the chill. Immediately after, a warmless hand crawled onto his back and soundlessly placed itself on his shoulder.

Bai Yan was immediately aware of this.

Li Hua was standing behind him.

Li Hua was a ‘person’ from the textbook. He doesn’t make a sound when he walks, because he didn’t need to walk around, he could make his way through everyone’s textbooks.

His textbook was already closed, but the textbook on the table behind him, before the lights went out, it was still open.

It just so happened that it was the page where Li Hua came out of the zoo.
