Chapter 77

The girl hurried to explain on behalf of her best friend.

“Teacher, Xiaomei would never do something like that. We’re best friends!”

“You’re still defending her? I’m telling you, this child has already confessed. This Doll is a marker. Whoever has it will have their underwear stolen.”

When the girl heard that, she immediately stared at her dear best friend in utter shock.

“No, that’s not how it is… I… I… I really didn’t…”

But then the girl thought back over everything that had happened before. It did seem like Xiaomei was always secretly watching her. A few times, she’d even caught Xiaomei sneaking around and doodling all over her clothes.

Back then, she’d thought her best friend was just jealous of her. But thinking about it now, wasn’t that obviously an attempt to get her attention? What boy hadn’t done annoying things like that when he was little?

And now she was stealing her underwear…

“Um… well, Xiaomei, I… I respect your… orientation, but… my family is very old-fashioned. They still want grandchildren, so I’m sorry. We can’t be together…”

“Enough!”

Her best friend suddenly exploded.

“Heh. Fine, since it’s come to this, I won’t hide it anymore. Let me tell you all, I’m not a lesbian…”

“It’s fine if you are. We don’t discriminate,” Liu Ye said from the side.

“Shut up!” her best friend roared.

Then she glared viciously at the girl.

“I don’t like you. I want to kill you!”

“Kill me? Why?” the girl asked, baffled.

“Love turning into… hatred! I know this one!” Liu Ye said excitedly.

Whoosh!

Her best friend glared at him so hard it was as if flames were about to burst from her body.

“Ahem. Go on,” Liu Ye quickly said.

Her best friend looked back at the girl.

“I really did once think of you as my friend. But what about you? What did you think of me? Those people bullied me so much, but you still laughed and joked with them! You’re just like them. You only ever treated me like entertainment. You never treated me like a friend!”

Hearing this, the girl was utterly stunned. She murmured, “So that’s how you see me?”

“Since you did it, why are you afraid of how I see you?” her best friend shouted.

But at that moment, a lazy voice rang out.

“Huh? What are you even talking about? If she hadn’t told us not to touch you, do you think you’d still be standing here in one piece?” The one speaking was a dark-skinned girl outside.

Her best friend froze on the spot. Then, flustered and furious, she said, “You’re lying!”

“Believe it or don’t. Do you think you’re some important person? That you’re worth us lying to? What a joke.”

The hot-tempered girl said it with speechless contempt.

Her best friend instantly looked as if her soul had left her body.

“So, how were you planning to kill me?” the girl asked calmly.

“That Doll. One of the school’s Seven Wonders Events. I wanted to use it to kill you.”

The girl had clearly heard the legend too, but she obviously had never taken it seriously. She looked at her best friend in total disbelief.

Liu Ye laughed as well. He picked up the Ghost Doll and said, “You were going to use this to kill her?”

“It really is evil! Just now, in the room, it even tried to kill me!” her best friend shouted.

“Come on, even jokes need limits. This is just a Doll. How is it supposed to kill you?”

As Liu Ye spoke, he swung his hand and slapped the Ghost Doll across the face.

Smack!

A loud crack rang out. The Doll’s face visibly swelled up before their eyes.
“See? I can hit it like this, and nothing happens to me, right?”

All anyone saw was tears dripping one by one down the Ghost Doll’s face.

“No, teacher, look down…”

“Shave it down? Sure, sure…”

Liu Ye pulled a razor out from inside his clothes and gave the Ghost Doll a new hairstyle.

After a flurry of hair went flying, Liu Ye lifted the Doll up.

“Look, a bald spot! Hahaha…”

Ghost Doll: “…”

Everyone: “…”

All they saw was the Ghost Doll trembling all over in Liu Ye’s hand. It clearly had power, but in Liu Ye’s grip, no matter what it did, it couldn’t use any of it.

Seeing that none of them spoke, Liu Ye immediately said, “Still not enough? Then I’ll draw it a mustache. Fierce Zhang Fei!”

Then Liu Ye seemed to get into it. He stretched out his wicked hands again and altered the Ghost Doll’s beautiful dress.

“Teacher…”

Everyone saw that the Ghost Doll had started crying tears of blood. Even though it was a Fiend, they couldn’t help feeling a trace of pity for it.

After a round of Liu Ye’s handiwork, he finally cut it into… a racerback tank top, paired with floral shorts that reached the knees.

Everyone: “…”

Had this Doll gone from foreign-style straight to northeastern China in a single instant? So the end of the world really was the northeast, huh?

Then they saw that the Ghost Doll’s originally vicious eyes had turned completely lifeless, as if nothing in this world was worth lingering for anymore.

“See? No reaction at all. The facts prove that all of this is fake. I’m telling you, you have to believe in science. There are no ghosts or monsters in this world!”

Everyone: “…”

“All right, everyone disperse. I’ll take these three jokers to the gate first. The police will be here in a bit.”

“No, big bro, this really is a misunderstanding…” Xiaoshuai still wanted to argue, but Liu Ye slapped him across the face, and Xiaoshuai instantly went silent. His cheek swelled up high.

Liu Ye looked at Frog next. Frog immediately said, “I’m scum. I should accept the official reeducation they give me! Work hard and become a new man!”

Liu Ye nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the best friend.

The best friend looked at Xiaoshuai’s badly swollen cheek and immediately said in terror, “I confess too!”

“That’s more like it. Don’t think making up some random story can cover up the fact that you stole underwear. We can correct our mistakes after we make them, right? Come on, let’s go!”

“Um, I’m really not a lesbian,” the best friend said miserably.

“I get it, I get it. You’re not. You’re not, okay?” Liu Ye said perfunctorily.

Seeing that, the best friend could only sigh and follow him.

After Liu Ye left, all the girls saw the Ghost Doll slowly stand up.

The girls were immediately startled. Just as they were about to call Liu Ye, they saw the Ghost Doll turn its head and look at the Mirror in the security room.

In the Mirror, a burly man with a bald spot, wearing an Old Man two-piece outfit, appeared before their eyes.

Two streams of bloody tears flowed down again. Then… the Ghost Doll self-destructed.

[Ding! Mission 2: Participate in one of the school’s mysteries, completed!]

In the car, Frog and Xiaoshuai stared blankly at the screens before their eyes.

They had never expected their mission to be completed so easily, though the exact method was not at all what they had imagined.

They were taken to the police station. The moment they got out of the car, a group of people came and took them away.
