Chapter 8
Ghost Mother Junior hadn’t even appeared yet.
I was kidnapped.
In the classroom at midnight, the black cloth covering my head was pulled off. It was Hua Jin and Cheng Jing.
It was them. Honestly, I wasn’t surprised at all.
“Bitch! Hand over the prop!”
No longer pretending to be the gentle, courteous big brother.
Cheng Jing slapped me across the face.
“Cheng Jing-ge, don’t scare Xu Xin-jie,” Hua Jin carefully tended to the marks on my face. “Xu Xin-jie, just give us the prop. We won’t make things difficult for you, and you’ll suffer less.”
They played good cop and bad cop, forcing me to hand over the prop Xiao Ling had given me.
“What are you going to do with the prop? Kill Ghost Mother?”
I could vaguely guess why Cheng Jing was so afraid of Ghost Mother.
It wasn’t just because Ghost Mother was terrifyingly powerful.
But also because…
“Aren’t you afraid that kidnapping me will be broadcast live?”
“What a coincidence. Hacking the system is my specialty. If you die here, the more miserable your death, the more everyone will think it was Ghost Mother’s doing.” Cheng Jing weighed the hammer and nails in his hand. “Are you going to give it up or not?”
A five-centimeter nail pressed against the tip of my fingernail.
If he put just a little force behind the hammer, the nail would pry off my nail.
If they got the prop, they could kill Ghost Mother and successfully escape Wisteria Girls’ High School.
Oh right, I promised Bloody Senior Sister I’d help her look for clothes tonight. Looks like I’m going to break that promise.
Seeing my silence, Cheng Jing’s patience reached its limit.
In the moonlight, I saw him raise the hammer high.
Before the hammer could come down, I heard the sound of an axe dragging along the empty corridor.
Gra-
Gra-
It was Xiao Ling.
She stood in the ghastly white moonlight, dragging that rusted, blood-red axe.
Her eyes were as black as whirlpools. She grinned and said:
“I’m here to find the dormmate who didn’t return to the dormitory.”
