They still had questions they wanted to ask, like 'how did he defeat a golden core cultivator when he was only in qi refining?' Or 'how did his suck out his blood?', but those questions could be asked later. For now, they turned to the new lecturer.
Many students were waiting for news on Wen Zhuhai. Many honestly hoped he would not come back, as he was well known for his misconduct. He took bribes, changed grades at his leisure, slipped classes, and took advantage of female students. In short, he was not very popular.
"Attention students, For those who don't know me, I am the vice headmaster of this school, Ling Hubao." Many murmura and whispers instantly sounded from the crowd as gossip, assertions, and guesses were passed around by curious students.
"I am here to regretfully inform you that, unfortunately, Teacher Wen will no longer be teaching here for the time being." The crowd brightened up noticeably, as some cheerful voices rose up from some students. At this, Vice Headmaster Ling coughed, evidently embarrassed and uncomfortable at the enthusiasm.
"Ahem, As of now, he is recuperating from his unfortunate accident. Whether or not he returns will depend on the results of his recovery." There were a few quiet groans at the thought that he might come back. Causing Vice Headmaster Ling to cough again.
"We will be assigning a new teacher in the meanwhile. Though he hasn't arrived yet, I hope you'll treat him with respect." He did not say the usual 'treat him with the same respect as with your previous teacher' because he knew it would only cause laughs.
Then suddenly, a student suddenly shouted.
"Teacher Wen has suddenly requested an interview with the media! Turn the projector on!"
The man who was crippled was requesting an interview a mere day after his hospitalization?! It must be something urgent or important! An update about the killer maybe?
A student hesitatingly looked at the vice headmaster, who sighed and nodded, before turning on the projector, showcasing the live interview.
All of a sudden Chen Yan heard Xiaohei next to her mutter something in his soul. She was still communing with him, but he had thought it was off and accidentally didn't protect his soul, allowing her and Yang Suya to listen to his thoughts clearly.
"It's time to show me your loyalty." And Wen Zhuhai showed up on screen on a hospital bed. His face looked pale and far older than before. His body was just as pale and looked sickly thin. Even though he was wearing the hospital gown, heavy bandages could be seen around his neck and shoulders.
"Hello everyone, my name is Wen Zhuhai. The heir to the Wen Corp."
He looked almost like a completely different person. If he didn't say anything most people would think that he was Wen Zhuhai's sickly father with cancer! Though his actual father is alive and well.
"Belittle yourself. You are scum, trash, foolish, and offended someone you shouldn't have. Tell them why you ended up like this." Chen Yan and Yang Suya heard the tiger talk in his mind like he was talking to someone. His tone was sinister and sadistic, as if torturing someone.
"I am scum, trash, and foolish. I offended someone I shouldn't have have. I was arrogant and committed a sin that made someone put me in this state." He looked to be in shame and agony as he gritted his teeth and said with painful eyes, as if he couldn't bear to say this. Chen Yan and Suya. Had their mouths gaping, what did Xiaohei do to him?!
"Now! Speak! Confess the sins that bound you to depravity! Release that which makes you guilty, yet you deprive pleasure from as you repeated the same sin! Let everyone know of the existence of a human at the depths of depravity! If I am not satisfied, I'll make you gouge your own eyes and make you eat them. Maybe then you'll see how black your insides are!" Chen Yan and Suya were wide eyed at the dramatic order and harsh punishment. They thought Xiaohei was calm, mostly reasonable, and didn't do anything without purpose. Yet here he was shouting out these unsettling orders. He spoke like a radical religious order condemning a heretic.
Wen Zhuhai's eyes grew hesitant, but he grit his teeth and nodded.
"I-I am a sinful man! I have blackmailed and taken advantage of many young girls..." The first thing that came to mind.
"How many!" Xiaohei snarled.
"I... i can no longer remember the number!" He hung his head in shame, while many viewers gasped.
"What else?"
"I crippled several students, who threatened to tell the police, then covered it up using my background!" At this point some of the doctors were trying to stop him, but he kept talking.
"How many did you kill?"
"I-I killed 3 on separate occasions, as a warning..."
"I took bribes from many students and parents for the sake of my greed!"
"I extorted others by threatening to lower their grades!" Similar yet different, shameful all the same.
"I use the name of my father's name to cover up all my actions!" At this point guards, presumably from his family, came in to stop him, but the moment they covered his mouth, he screamed in agony as his eyes started to bleed. At that, they swiftly let go. He did not stop talking.
"I invested in the underworld! Who aided in my crimes!"
"I covered up a murders and beat downs by the faction I supported!"
"I misappropriated school funds!"
"I-I committed tax evasion!"
"I put cameras in the girls locker room!"
"Sometimes I look at high schoolers with impure thoughts!"
"I once fed a dog chocolate on purpose! Just to see if it was true!" It was starting to get weird.
"I once staged my own kidnapping when I was a kid, so I could use the ransom to buy games!"
"One time I shoplifted candy when I was a kid!"
"I took someone's reading card and never gave it back!"
"I stole candy from a baby!" At this point people were just speechless.
"...that's enough. I am satisfied." Xiaohei finally let him go. The girls knew he was controlling him, they just couldn't fathom how.
"Now warn them about me, and you are free to kill yourself or do whatever."
"D-don't repeat my mistakes, or he'll come for you too!" At that, he collapsed on his bed and passed out.
Everyone's back chilled. No matter how foolish they were, they could understand that something strange had happened to Wen Zhuhai. What manner of cultivator could do something like this?
