Actions fantômes

Chapitre 25

"Actually, it's all...my fault. I didn't stop them, which led to this situation...to make a long story short, the current principal is a medical freak...five years ago, he wanted to use my students for experiments, and I...supported him, so I gave him...the sixth floor of a dormitory building...He killed someone every three...months. I couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to oppose...oppose him, and as a result, he...swapped my brain with that of a medical engineer...and his brain...occupies my body. His medical skills are superb, but also cruel. In my safe, there's an agreement with him, cough cough! And stolen records of his experiments...which can be given to the police...to..." At this point, the man coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted. His body couldn't handle saying so much at once.

Upon hearing this, Li Xue's mind seemed to come back to life. Such an unbelievable thing, something that seemed to only happen in novels, had actually happened to her today. She didn't question any of the details and stubbornly believed it! Because she thought that what someone had told her with the time they had gained at the cost of their life couldn't be a lie. So, this medical engineer really was the principal! And now, what should I do? Li Xue asked herself, what can I do?

Just then, the principal of the medical engineering school woke up again and began to move his body with difficulty. He was not tied up, probably because Huang Yisheng saw that he was no longer able to move and was relieved.

“I’m dying… Zhong Lei and Yu Kai are both dead… Huang… Huang… Huang did it… So, you… must avenge us! Avenge us, you… must live!”

He moved his body, like a worm, behind Li Xue, and used all his strength to untie the ropes binding her. Just as he was about to completely untie her, he stopped moving and went to heaven, frozen in that position.

Nine

Li Xue struggled a few times, tears welling in her eyes, and the rope fell to the ground. Since she hadn't been beaten much, she still had some strength. She got up and gently touched the principal's eyelids, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't close them. It seemed he died with his eyes open! Li Xue made a silent vow: she must get out alive, she must expose their cruelty, and avenge them! Thinking this, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably…

She didn't wipe away her tears, letting them slide down her face, and in an instant, her figure became strong.

Looking for a way out, she found that the wooden window frame of the dilapidated house was not very sturdy. With difficulty, she lifted the wooden chair and threw it onto the window. The window frame broke, revealing a gap large enough for one person to climb out. Li Xuexin gritted her teeth, squeezed through the window, and fell heavily to the ground outside.

Meanwhile, in the principal's office, the principal was haggling with "Doctor" Huang. The principal complained that Huang Yisheng was being unreasonable, asking for five million for just a woman—he couldn't even make that much money from producing drugs in a month! Huang Yisheng's view was that since he was going to quit after this, he wanted to rip off this old man a good sum so he could find a good place to escape to.

Li Xue had just stood up, rubbing her still-aching back, when she suddenly saw an elderly woman hurrying by, waving at her from the alleyway of the dormitory building. Li Xue was moving painfully step by step. The old woman couldn't bear to see her like this, so she looked around, ran over, picked Li Xue up, and carried her away. Li Xue suddenly felt very scared and hurriedly asked:

"Where are you taking me?"

The old woman, carrying Li Xue who was a head taller than her, still walked briskly, glancing around at the gloomy surroundings as she spoke.

"Li Xue, if you want to avenge Zhong Lei, shut up first!"

Chapter Twelve should be a farewell.

One

The old woman's robust health left Li Xue speechless with astonishment. Before long, the two of them left the school through a back door that Li Xue had never noticed before, and disappeared into the intricate alleyways of the small village.

After closing the door, the old lady helped Li Xue, who was slumped on the bed, sit up, fed her a sip of water, and seeing that Li Xue slightly opened her eyes, she said kindly:

"Child, it's safe here for now. Just focus on healing your injuries!"

She hadn't felt anything while being carried, but now that she was settled, Li Xue suddenly realized that every bone in her body ached, as if it had been cracked open in countless places. Her skin was also broken in many places, especially her hands, where a layer of skin had been scraped off, and the tender flesh was covered with dust, causing Li Xue to groan involuntarily in pain.

The mysterious old woman looked at Li Xue with pity, her withered hands clenched at her chest, as if trying to help Li Xue overcome the pain. Then, she continued to speak to Li Xue:

"Child, let me treat your wounds first. I'll be the only one to treat you for now, because you'll be caught and taken back as soon as you show your face. Now that you know their secret, they won't let you go!"

Despite the pain, Li Xue remained conscious and asked weakly:

"Who are they?"

"Your principal! Dr. Huang from the city hospital! Those two are in cahoots! During your time here, I'm going to help you recover, and I also want to tell you a shocking secret: you must send them to where they belong!"

Li Xue nodded as if she understood, and seeing this, the old lady left satisfied.

The room wasn't large, but it was exquisite, mostly furnished with somber, classical-style furniture. In the center was an eight-immortal table and a grand master's chair. To the right of the entrance was Li Xue's bed, and to the right of that was a tall wardrobe. The windows were made of intricately carved wood, covered with a layer of paper, which was already tattered.

The house seemed to encompass both a living room and a bedroom, indicating that the family wasn't wealthy. As Li Xue's palm throbbed with pain, she realized this must be the mysterious old woman's home!

What does this mysterious old lady do?

A school janitor? Very likely, because she's often seen at school, and Lei Zi mentioned that she once said something strange to him. So, she probably knows the inside story. Well then, let's patiently wait for her to tell us the truth!

Li Xue is, after all, a girl, and a very meticulous one. Although she is usually a bit impatient, this near-death experience has unintentionally smoothed out some of the rough edges in her personality.

That day, after waking up, Li Xue would never forget Huang Yisheng's ugly face! It would become a nightmare she could never escape! His actions towards her became the only hatred in Li Xue's heart! When she heard that Huang Yisheng had killed her parents to get her! When she heard that Lei Zi and Yu Kai had fallen into a trap and been killed! She almost lost control of her emotions! She wanted to kill him with her own hands! Kill this complete bastard! Villain! Heartless beast! He's a beast! Li Xue repeated the name fiercely in her heart once again.

From now on, I will say goodbye to yesterday. This incident is a turning point in my life; my life, family, love, and even my chastity have all left me. Starting tomorrow, I may appear as an avenger. A woman who has lost her mind is terrifying. She doesn't want to report the crime, she doesn't want to take revenge in a civilized way; she wants those two bastards to suffer a terrible death!

Make them suffer more than you do!

Preview of the second part

The old lady came into the house carrying a bamboo basket and sat down next to Li Xue.

He took out various medicines from the bamboo basket and applied them to Li Xue's face, saying as he did so:

"Child, let me give you some basic first aid. Judging from your face, it must hurt a lot. You twisted your ankle, didn't you? And your knee must be badly injured too!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xue felt a sharp, excruciating pain in both of her body parts, as if summoned by a call to action. "Ouch!" Li Xue couldn't help but cry out.

The old lady, who was applying ointment to Li Xue's knee, hurriedly asked:

"What's wrong, child? Did I hurt you?" His concerned gaze was like gentle sunlight, softly soothing the wounds in Li Xue's heart.

Once again, she received care from others, and Li Xue, who had suffered misfortune, suddenly felt warm. In such a short period of time, almost all the misfortunes in the world had befallen her. Losing both parents was the greatest misfortune. In her dreams, Li Xue wondered how she would live without her father's gaze and her mother's embrace.

Then there's Lei Zi. The two of them have had feelings for each other since childhood, growing up together as childhood sweethearts. Studying side by side with him and walking hand in hand into the university campus has been her long-held dream. Girls love to dream, and they like to find happiness in their dreams. But in an instant, the bubble of her dream burst and disappeared, splashing water all over Li Xue's face, making her almost lose herself in suffocation and struggle.

Fortunately, her current mother-in-law treats her gently and carefully takes care of Li Xue's fragile mental state.

Li Xue wondered to herself, "Should I trust this old woman? She's been so kind to me!" She didn't want to speculate about the truth; she just wanted to believe it. Perhaps this was just a girl's intuition. She felt she could be close to her and treat her like her own grandmother.

As she thought about it, Li Xue felt a sudden pang of sadness, and a tear welled up in her eye.

The old lady took in the scene and immediately asked, somewhat nervously:

"What's wrong? Are you homesick?"

Li Xue wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, nodded, then shook her head.

The old lady asked in confusion:

"What is that?"

"I'm homesick, and thank you for your help!"

Hearing this, the old lady smiled with relief.

"I was willing to help you, so I did. There's no need for thanks!"

Suddenly, her expression turned extremely resentful.

"Actually, I'm also a victim of that old bastard!"

She paused, and before Li Xue could ask any more questions, she continued:

“Child, you’ve suffered greatly at his hands, so I’m telling you everything! Don’t get too agitated after hearing it. If you want revenge, you need the strength! And to fight for it, you must leave Donglai! Because all the leaders in Donglai City have been controlled by him with drugs!”

Li Xue listened attentively, nodding slightly. At this moment, hearing such a story was no longer enough to arouse her surprise. While listening to the old woman, she was also brewing something in her mind. That imposter principal who had committed heinous crimes might have overlooked one thing: a woman driven by revenge is the most terrifying.

Three

Li Xue remembered something and asked:

"Grandma, you told me you wanted to avenge Lei Zi. Does that mean Lei Zi is already...?"

The old lady paused for a moment, then nodded silently, her wrinkled face etched with the marks of time.

“A few days ago, Zhong Lei came to see me. You hadn’t started your monthly break yet, because he was convinced that I had some very valuable secret hidden here.”

A few days ago...

After breaking up with Li Xue, Zhong Lei left the restaurant. To avoid being heartbroken, he wanted to find something to do, so he remembered the old woman who had reappeared by the basketball court. He went to find her and asked her for some information. Actually, Zhong Lei also wanted to get out of danger as soon as possible! That way, he could continue his relationship with Li Xue!

Thinking about all this, Zhong Lei felt a surge of energy and went to find the old woman with high spirits. He had a strong intuition that the old woman could definitely help him!

I asked the head chef in the school cafeteria, the dormitory manager, and the shop assistant, but I didn't get any information. I almost got my name written down by the dormitory manager and reported to the teacher.

Finally, just when Zhong Lei was losing hope, a withered hand landed on his shoulder, and then he heard a lifeless voice devoid of any emotion:

"Don't ask anything, just come with me."

Zhong Lei suddenly turned around and saw a thin, small figure from behind. Wasn't that the old woman? Hurry up and follow her!

As Zhong Lei followed the old woman, many exclamation marks in his mind turned into question marks. At this moment, they had reached the alley between dormitory building number one and the wall. Where was the old woman taking him? He was about to ask when he restrained himself and told himself not to ask anything... The old woman had just reminded him.

Soon, they arrived at their destination, the dilapidated house. They opened the rickety door, and after Zhong Lei went inside, they quickly and gently closed it again. Before Zhong Lei could speak, the old woman spoke:

“Your current principal has drugged all of you, including some of the teachers, through the food in the cafeteria. One ingredient in the drug allows him to know where you are and what you are saying at any time. As soon as you make a sound, he will react.”

Zhong Lei was speechless with astonishment. Although he had already begun to suspect the principal, he never expected the principal's abilities to be so profound.

Although he wanted to know and ask about many things, he still tried his best to keep his mouth shut after hearing what the old woman said.

So the old woman continued:

"He divided the school into restricted areas, and if he detected a student entering one of these prohibited areas, he would immediately take measures to kill that student!"

Zhong Lei's eyes widened suddenly. Why?

The old woman immediately understood his meaning and explained:

"There are only two areas: the sixth floor of your dormitory building and this place! That's why I'm not letting you speak! If you make a sound, the principal will react, so don't make a sound! Listen to me quietly!"

“Your homeroom teacher is my husband. He has mentioned you to me many times, saying that you have been acting very strangely lately. At that time, neither he nor I knew about the principal’s affairs.”

At this moment, Zhong Lei looked at the old woman in disbelief. "What? Our homeroom teacher looks to be only in his thirties, but you are?" This was a bit unexpected.

This is the beginning of the second part, where a scary story will unfold. I plan to release it after I've gathered some more manuscript. Let's wait and see! This book is from , a free TXT novel download site.
