In the dimly lit teachers' dormitory, the teacher's incredibly long and thin neck twisted in the air, like a snake winding and stretching, slowly reaching towards the source of the sound.
Ye Tianxuan immediately fell silent, covered his mouth, and took out a prop coin from his pocket, holding it in his palm.
While they may not possess combat power strong enough to kill a teacher, they do have items that allow them to remain invisible and undetected for self-protection.
He held his breath, curled up under the table, trying not to make a sound, and watched as the teacher's slender neck slowly peered over, sweeping past Ye Tianxuan.
The viewers in the live chat held their breath, watching as the teacher's head slowly stopped near Ye Tianxuan, sniffing here and there. His pale, sinister face slowly curled into a smile in the dim light. "I smell you, you little mouse that sneaked in."
"You're really something, daring to sneak up here."
Ye Tianxuan stood frozen in place, afraid that making even the slightest sound would alert him to his presence.
The teacher's slender, twisted body slowly rose from the table, and she began to slowly explore the room by smelling the aroma.
Her slender arms explored along the ground, her long neck stretched above the shelf, her delicate body was soft and supple, and every limb could reach into the narrow gaps in the room, groping her way towards the table little by little.
Ye Tianxuan tiptoed away from the teacher's hand that reached under the table, covered his nose and slowly moved to sit on the table that had just been touched.
He tilted his head to avoid the teacher's sweeping stroke on his neck, slid sideways across the desk, landed on his toes, and began to tiptoe out.
The viewers watched as Ye Tianxuan deftly avoided the teacher's groping hands, slowly moving his body towards the door. His movements were so light and subtle that he managed to slip past the teacher without making a sound.
We've already been discovered tonight, so it's not a good time to continue searching for clues. Making a run for it is the best course of action.
He carefully moved to the vicinity of the door, just about to go out, when the teacher who was groping around suddenly wrinkled his nose and turned around abruptly.
"You've moved to a different spot, huh? You're quite good at hide-and-seek." She let out a low, sinister laugh. "But you smell wonderful, like flowers. No matter where you hide, I'll find you."
She suddenly reached her slender hand towards the door, slammed it shut, and locked Ye Tianxuan inside.
If he tries to open the door and leave, the teacher will immediately find him; but if he stays in the room, it's only a matter of time before he's found.
Ye Tianxuan stood silently in place and sniffed his arm. Where was the flower scent?! How come he didn't know!
Oh, the smell of cigarettes. If you smoke too much, it'll leave a residue on your body.
Seeing the teacher approaching him again, Ye Tianxuan gave up. If he couldn't sneak away quietly, he would have to run.
He looked up at the dormitory window. He remembered that this was the fifth floor, and all the exits were accessible, so the windows didn't matter.
Ye Tianxuan crouched down and crawled under the teacher's arm again, grabbed a book from the table, and threw it at the teacher's feet.
The sudden commotion inside the room instantly drew the teacher's attention. The next second, the window was flung open, and the cold night wind swept into the entire room.
Ye Tianxuan flipped over and jumped out of the window without hesitation.
"You actually dared to walk through the window?!" The teacher was shocked; this was the fifth floor!
She quickly turned and lunged towards the window, her slender arms reaching down from the windowsill, grabbing at the air and narrowly missing Ye Tianxuan's figure.
The moment he jumped, he deactivated his invisibility, took out another item from his pocket and held it in his palm. Immediately, a thin fluorescent shield enveloped his body. The shield cracked the instant he landed from the fifth floor, and at the same time, the coin also cracked.
Ye Tianxuan ignored the broken props and immediately pulled out an invisibility prop, holding it in his hand before running away at full speed.
"Don't let me find you!" The teacher leaned out the window, her long neck jutting out, glaring at the figure disappearing into the night with gritted teeth.
Wearing a school uniform means you must be her student; she smells of flowers. There's always a way to find someone as special as her.
Ye Tianxuan clutched the invisibility item and ran all the way back to his dormitory. After all, items have various limitations. For example, the defensive shield has a limited number of uses and is useless after it's used up. Invisibility also has a time limit and will be canceled when the time is up.
At night, red security monsters patrol the school; if you don't hurry back, you might get caught by one.
There's nothing we can do if we can't find any information about the teachers' dormitory tonight. It would be too risky for him to go alone. Next time, we should leave such a dangerous task to the invincible Yin Xiu.
As soon as Ye Tianxuan returned to the dormitory, all the crazy and strange students who had been acting crazy at night were swarming around the dormitory corridor. The moment Ye Tianxuan appeared, the students' scarlet eyes were instantly fixed on him.
Those pairs of red eyes lit up in the night, densely packed, their gazes focused, and for a moment they seemed to resemble the compound eyes of some enormous being lurking in the corridor.
They began to mutter to themselves and strode toward Ye Tianxuan.
"You're so special, you're so special..."
"How are you different from them? What makes you different?"
Why are you different from them? Why?
"I want to understand you...I want to understand you..."
The surge of strange students completely blocked Ye Tianxuan at the entrance of the dormitory corridor. He couldn't return to his dormitory because he was blocked by many strange creatures. He also couldn't leave the dormitory at this time because there would be security guards outside. For a moment, he was in a dilemma.
As the large, eerie group of students approached, Ye Tianxuan smiled and stood there calmly, pulling out a cigarette case from his pocket. "It's quite lively late at night. Is it really necessary for so many people to come out and welcome us?"
"But you've come at the perfect time. I was just wondering how I was going to get through tomorrow."
He smiled and picked up a cigarette, the bright flame illuminating his face in the night, as he slowly lit it.
Purple smoke, carrying a light floral fragrance, drifted slowly down the corridor, lingering around the students. Their slow, creeping footsteps suddenly fell silent, and the crimson in their eyes gradually faded.
The students stood rooted to the spot, their red eyes fixed on Ye Tianxuan.
"You're so special...you really are special..."
Ye Tianxuan waved his hand and flicked the ash from his cigarette. "Not at all. I'm just an ordinary person, nothing special."
The strange students' gazes remained fixed on him. "I'm very curious about you... very curious..."
"I will always... watch over you..."
As the students' murmurs gradually faded away, the corridor fell completely silent.
After a short while, the students regained their senses and began to stand in the corridor, looking at each other in confusion.
"Strange? Why am I here? Shouldn't I be sleeping in my dorm?"
"Oh no, I need to get back to sleep right away, or I won't be able to go to class tomorrow."
"Hurry up, hurry up, don't let the dorm manager find out."
"Oh, we don't have a dormitory manager."
Amidst the bustling sounds of the students, they returned to their respective dormitories. Ye Tianxuan also stubbed out his cigarette and stood in the corridor, lost in thought.
It seems there's a very special entity in this instance that can observe the entire school through the students' eyes; perhaps that's the boss of this instance.
There is no information about it yet; we'll investigate further.
Ye Tianxuan put away the cigarette case and hurriedly went back to sleep.
The next morning, after all the students had entered the teaching building, the teacher stormed into the classroom in a huff.
Today, she has to catch that little mouse who sneaked into her dorm last night, no matter what. She wants to see how a student with such a strong odor tries to hide!
The school bell rang, and the teacher frowned as she faced the students sitting in rows below. "Let me check your homework."
She stretched her neck and, under the guise of checking homework, sniffed this and that. After taking a look around, she withdrew her head, her face frozen.
Strange... why do all the students smell of flowers? They weren't like that yesterday!
