Silence!
Deadly silence!
The students, who had been waiting to watch the show, now stared in stunned disbelief at the yellow-haired boy's head rolling on the floor.
They couldn't believe it. The new teacher—this teacher—had killed a ghost without warning.
Was there even justice left in the world?What about the law?
"What's wrong with you, teacher? Don't you know whose son Huang Tiansi is?""I'm telling you, you're doomed. His father works for the Education Bureau—you better watch out…"
Swoosh!
Another head dropped.
Wu Bei's cold gaze swept across the classroom."During class, speak only when permitted. I don't like students who ignore rules.""Understood?"
Shock.Pure, complete shock.
All the students realized that this new teacher, Wu Bei, was nothing like the timid teachers they had met before.
He would not tolerate them.
The students who had been about to shout all lowered their heads.
Some of the girls even buried their faces into their desks in fear.
Wu Bei felt satisfied watching their reactions.
The veterans in his previous life had been right: the supernatural wasn't terrifying.
As long as humans were fiercer and more ruthless, the supernatural wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
But Wu Bei knew this: merely intimidating the students would only earn a C rating at dungeon completion.
To achieve a higher rating, he would need to fully master the dungeon.
He tapped the podium lightly. His voice calm yet chilling:"Who is Zhao Yiyi?"
At once, all eyes turned toward a beautiful girl.
Her face immediately drained of color.
She raised her hand shakily, standing with trembling legs:"R-reporting, Teacher… I…I am Zhao Yiyi!"
"So, you're Zhao Yiyi?"
Wu Bei's gaze cut through her. Coldness radiated from his eyes."You're pretty enough… so why is your heart so cruel?"
The icy question made Zhao Yiyi's head spin.
"Teacher, are you… mistaken?" she stammered.
"Mistaken?"
Wu Bei's tone dropped even colder."I'm asking you: where did you hide Zhang Xiaohua's body?"
Bang…
The moment he spoke those three words, the classroom changed instantly.
The lights on the ceiling exploded.The flames scattered throughout the room surged higher, now glowing green.
The students could no longer maintain their human appearances.
Their forms twisted grotesquely, reeking of burnt flesh.
Zhao Yiyi, especially, became a monstrous hybrid of human and ghost, emitting a shrill, unnatural cry:"Teacher Wu, what are you saying? Who is Zhang Xiaohua?"
Seeing her feign ignorance, Wu Bei's killing intent intensified.
He had carefully studied the official guide in his past life.He knew exactly how this dungeon truly worked.
This dungeon shouldn't be called "Shancheng Teacher."It should be called "Zhang Xiaohua's Revenge or "Zhang Xiaohua's Curse."
Originally, there had been 37 students.The missing one was Zhang Xiaohua.
She was a child from an ordinary working-class family.
Her parents, like most, hoped she would excel in school and bring honor to the family.
They endured hardships just to send her to the best school in Shancheng.
But they overlooked the issue of social hierarchy.
Despite her excellent grades, some students were born into privilege, while others were born into poverty.
Her excellence made her a target of jealousy.
The worst tormentor was Zhao Yiyi, the daughter of the vice mayor.
Zhao Yiyi verbally abused Zhang Xiaohua, physically assaulted her, and even trapped her in the restroom, forcing her to drink urine, eat filth, and take nude photos.
Even when Zhang Xiaohua told Teacher Li Yan, justice was denied.
Zhao Yiyi retaliated further, subjecting Zhang Xiaohua to humiliation from the entire class—until she died.
Then came Zhang Xiaohua's revenge.
Li Yan disappeared.All the classmates were swept away by a massive fire.
The guide speculated that to fully complete the dungeon and achieve an SSS rating, one had to find Zhang Xiaohua's body and uncover what happened to Li Yan.
But now Zhao Yiyi dared to play dumb.
Wu Bei transformed both arms into Soul-Cutting Blades his face cold as he approached the podium."I don't have time for games. Either tell me where Zhang Xiaohua is, or die."
Swoosh!
Zhao Yiyi's arm was severed.
The pain of the soul itself made her scream hysterically:"Sh-she… she's in the abandoned warehouse behind the school!"
Wu Bei returned to the podium. His tone left no room for refusal:"This science class is now PE. You will all come with me to that warehouse."
The students' faces turned pale with fear.
Seeing the two shining blades in Wu Bei's hands, they had no choice but to comply.
Ten minutes later.
Guided by Zhao Yiyi and others, Wu Bei arrived at the warehouse behind the school.
Even from a distance, waves of cold made him frown.
He could clearly sense that the supernatural forces inside were formidable.
But Wu Bei, already at Level 5, was unshaken.
He pointed at Zhao Yiyi."Open the door."
"Teacher, I…"
Swoosh!
Zhao Yiyi's head fell.
Wu Bei pointed to another student."You, open it."
Faced with this madman, the supernatural students dared not resist.
They pushed open the warehouse doors immediately.
But the moment the doors opened, a terrifying wave of resentment surged out.
The students' eyes turned a fierce crimson.
[Ding! Congratulations! The trial participant has discovered a hidden dungeon. Clearing it grants additional rewards!]
The eerie system prompt confirmed Wu Bei had made the right move.
This was the key to achieving an SSS rating.
With only twenty minutes left on the countdown, Wu Bei's eyes sharpened.
The students, consumed by resentment, leapt toward him with claws and teeth bared.
"Looking for death!"
Wu Bei didn't hesitate. Using his 35 Agility (First Kill Title: 5), he weaved through the supernatural attacks.
In just three minutes, over thirty bodies lay on the ground.
Just as Wu Bei prepared to enter the warehouse to search for Zhang Xiaohua…
A piercing scream echoed across the campus.
A woman in a red dress, holding a pointer, emerged from the warehouse, her expression grim.
It was Li Yan.
