The current teaching building was no longer the one Maron had seen before.
It was extremely dilapidated and looked as if it would collapse at any time.
Maron used his memory to find the way up the stairs.
The darkness caused Maron's visual range to be less than one meter, and this was under the illumination of a flashlight.
Maron walked all the way to the fourth floor.
Suddenly, a voice came out, this voice was not Mary's cry for help, but a very deep roar.
Maron walked into room 403, and nothing could be seen clearly inside.
At this time, Mary also heard footsteps.
"Who is it?!" Mary raised the flashlight in her hand and shone it over.
"It's me," Maron said.
When Mary heard that, she asked, "Who exactly are you? Maron can't possibly come up here."
Maron was stunned for a moment, then he said, "I know you have a mole under your right chest."
When Mary heard that, she heaved a sigh of relief and said, "It's really you. I thought you really wouldn't come up."
Hearing her tone, she was on the verge of crying. There had been no clues here, so she was basically a headless chicken.
Maron walked over to her and shone his flashlight on Mary. "What happened? Why Is It so dark here?" He asked
Mary explained, "I don't know. I've been looking for the student who wasn't paying attention."
Maron was deep in thought when he heard Mary's words.
This was a typical case of trying to understand the rules of ghosts.
Maron had also seen Mary's mission, which was to find the student who was not paying attention to the lesson.
Maron said, "I'll go and take a look."
After saying that, Maron was about to walk over when Mary stopped him.
"There's no need to go. We can't find him anymore. He's all rotten." Mary explained.
Maron stopped walking.
[You saw the teacher two minutes later.]
The blood-red notification lit up and then fell.
"Where is the teacher?" Maron asked.
"Right in front of you," Mary said. Then she walked in front of Maron and used the flashlight to probe forward.
An old male teacher stood there with a hunched body and a smile on his face.
Maron immediately frowned when he saw this thing.
Its smile was very strange.
It seemed to be eyeing some prey.
But there should be some restrictions that prevented it from making a move for the time being.
Maron thought in his heart. 'Why not test my guess now. And get some insight into the rules of ghosts.'
"Have you noticed anything unusual before?" Maron looked at Mary and asked.
Mary thought for a moment and said, "Yes, it's this teacher. It was at the podium before. As long as I don't look at it, it will move."
After listening to Mary's explanation, Maron already had an answer in his heart.
Ghosts indeed had a pattern.
This teacher was also a ghost. The pattern was that if you saw him, he could not move, which meant that he could only attack you from behind.
"Okay, now let's not look at him." Maron looked at Mary and said. Then, he turned around and walked to the podium, squatting behind the podium.
Mary followed Maron to the back of the podium and a few minutes passed.
Maron looked up and sure enough, the ghost came. It was on his right.
If he had been one step slower to look at the ghost, the ghost would have touched him.
Not only that, Maron had other guesses, the closer he got to the Ghost Teacher, the lower the temperature around him got as well.
Maron stared at it, then stood up and looked at it carefully.
It seemed that its smile had become wider again.
"What should we do now?" Mary didn't know what Maron was doing.
"Wait a little longer." Maron felt that he had already made a judgment in his heart.
[One minute later, you stood on the opposite side of the podium against the wall and found the student who didn't listen to the lecture.]
At this moment, the notification in his eyes lit up.
Maron followed the notification and walked to the opposite side of the podium.
Mary didn't follow.
After coming to the back, Maron looked at the teacher's ghost again.
Although he couldn't see anything now, everything was in Maron's mind.
Scene after scene began to gather in his mind, gradually forming a movie of sorts where one by one, the students' bodies, the teacher's ghost, and the place where Mary was standing was depicted.
A thought flashed through Maron's mind, it was in fact, Mary, who was the student who had not been paying attention to the class.
Then Maron connected all the previous events, and all of them showed that Mary was the student who had not been paying attention to the class.
Because Mary was only eighteen years old this year, just the age of other school children.
Maron returned to the podium and said to Mary, "I think I know who the student is who is not paying attention to the class."
When Mary heard this, she was a little excited, so she asked, "Who is it? I have been looking for so long, but I still haven't found it. How did you find it?"
"You are the student who is not paying attention to the class," Maron said very seriously.
Mary was stunned. She was the classmate who didn't listen to the class?
Then, she thought about it carefully.
Maron was right. She was the classmate who didn't listen to the class.
Because during the whole process, except for the teacher, everyone in the classroom was consistent. No one made any unusual movements.
If there was only one person, it was herself.
After everything was sorted out, Mary's phone suddenly lit up.
[Congratulations on completing the mission: The student in the classroom who didn't listen carefully.]
[You have received the mission reward: One year of lifespan.]
[You have obtained a Cursed Tool: The Teacher's Ruler.]
[Description: The ruler is in the teacher's hands. You need to obtain it yourself.]
After Mary finished reading, she handed the phone to Maron.
"Thank you. Without you, I might have died in there." Mary thanked Mary seriously.
Maron did not say anything. Just as he was about to take the phone, something strange happened.
The teacher moved!
"Step back." Maron tilted the teacher.
At this time, Mary did not know what had happened and took a few steps back.
"Listen carefully in class, or else the teacher's ruler will hit you!"
The Ghost Teacher suddenly spoke, and his voice was very unpleasant.
When Mary heard it, she was very surprised.
The upgrade on the phone meant that the ruler was in the hands of the Ghost Teacher and she needed to get it herself.
Why was the Ghost Teacher moving now!
"Don't talk, stay behind me and don't move." Maron suddenly said.
The Ghost Teacher was still changing and its bones cracked.
Its entire body was like a robot that had just been activated.
Every joint of its body would move.
"If you don't listen to the lesson, the teacher will punish you!" The Ghost Teacher said as it walked.
Its target was Mary.
"You go out first and see if it follows you, or if it was going after a random target."
Maron said without turning his head.
Mary nodded and walked out of the door with the help of the flashlight.
Maron stared at the Ghost Teacher's every move.
The Ghost Teacher walked very slowly. Just as it was about to reach Maron, it suddenly stopped, changed direction, and walked toward Mary.
