Some players wanted to follow, but when they saw the whip in Feng Ling's hand, they instinctively stepped back. A few stubborn players continued to follow, thinking that as long as they didn't get discovered, it would be fine.

Hua Meng said with a smile, in a voice just loud enough for the two players to hear, "There are two little tails behind."

Lian Wu subconsciously looked back and saw two figures leaving in a hurry in the crowd.

"The little tail ran away."

Hua Meng smiled and asked, "Your classroom is on the third floor, right?"

"Class 6, next to the office."

Feng Ling stroked the whip in his hand, tried to pull it twice, and found it was very strong.

When she reached the bottom of the teaching building, Teacher Xu stopped and looked at the stairs with nostalgia. She had not returned to this building for a long time.

The school only allowed her to go out during the Fools' Revelry. Unless someone led her, she would stay under the osmanthus tree for the whole day. During this day, she could see all kinds of students and teachers, but she could not see the person she missed day and night.

"Teacher Xu, let's go. Most people are in the playground. Maybe you can have a chance to be alone."

Teacher Xu lowered his head and stared at the bouquet for a while, as if he had made up his mind, and walked up the stairs resolutely.

But Lian Wu, who was standing behind her, could see that Teacher Xu was trembling all the time, not out of fear, but more like excitement before a long separation.

As they walked to the third floor and got closer to Class 6's classroom, Teacher Xu became more and more excited. Finally, he stood at the back door, hesitating and not daring to push the door open.

"Don't be afraid. It's been so long. Don't you want to see him? Don't you want to know why he didn't leave?"

Hua Meng encouraged Teacher Xu to take this step.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Teacher Xu finally pushed open the door with trembling hands.

The original tables and chairs in the classroom have been cleared away, leaving a huge square table in the middle with a circle of chairs around it.

There were cakes and snacks on the table, and Huang Youde was sitting on the podium waiting for the students to return to the classroom.

When there was a noise at the back door, Huang Youde thought it was a student coming back, so he did not stand up to greet him. Instead, he folded his hands, supported his chin, and put his elbows on the podium.

When Huang Youde saw who was standing behind him, he stood up suddenly and looked at Teacher Xu in surprise. He then covered his face in panic. Now, he was middle-aged, fat, and his face was full of wrinkles, which was very different from his appearance back then.

Huang Youde didn't want to appear in front of Teacher Xu in this state, and wanted to escape from the classroom in panic.

However, the front and back doors were now guarded by Lian Wu and Feng Ling to prevent the two from escaping.

When Huang Youde walked to the front door, he met Lian Wu head-on.

"Teacher, where are you going?"

Lian Wu held a long sword and stood across the door. If Huang Youde ran a little faster, his neck would have hit the sword blade.

Teacher Xu was at the back door, so Huang Youde thought of climbing out the window next to it. But just as he reached the window, Hua Meng's face appeared before him.

"Teacher Huang, Teacher Xu hasn't seen you in so many years. Why are you running away as soon as we meet?"

All the exits were blocked, so Huang Youde had to face reality and turned his back to prevent Teacher Xu from seeing his face.

"Don't you really want to see me?"

Teacher Xu asked in a trembling voice, slowly walking forward.

"No, it's not. Don't look at me!"

Huang Youde wanted to shrink under the table. He didn't want his sweetheart to see him in such a miserable state.

"Don't be like this, come out. If you do this again, I will never come to see you again."

Teacher Xu comforted him softly, hoping that Huang Youde would stop avoiding her. There were not many opportunities for them to meet, and she didn't want to waste so much time.

She finally took this step and pushed open the classroom door, but she didn't expect that the one who would end up shrinking there would be Huang Youde.

"I received your flowers. I like them very much. Don't you want to see me holding that bouquet?"

When he heard about the flower, Huang Youde remembered the gift he had not given away, and finally he mustered up the courage to come out from under the podium.

"You got it?"

Huang Youde had already given up hope, but he didn't expect that after many years, the bouquet of flowers would finally fall into Teacher Xu's hands.

Feng Ling stood at the back door, tired of watching. These two people could drag out their meeting like this and didn't even take the time to clarify what happened in the past.

"Youde, didn't I tell you to leave? Why are you still here?"

Teacher Xu finally remembered the important matter.

Huang Youde showed a surprised expression, "Didn't they tell you to leave?"

Teacher Xu opened his eyes wide, full of disbelief.

"They lied to us! They never wanted us to leave, they just found a way to separate us, and I actually believed them!"

The two turned their sadness into anger and suddenly didn't care about anything else. All they wanted was to make them pay the price.

"Excuse me, who are they?"

Hua Meng knocked on the window and looked at them with a smile.

Teacher Xu and Huang Youde just remembered that there were more than just the two of them here, so their embarrassing situation had been seen by three students.

The two men were so embarrassed that they dug their toes into the ground, trying to carve out a three-bedroom apartment on the concrete floor.

Huang Youde sighed.

"It was the school leadership. They didn't allow students to date each other, and this rule gradually became pathological, eventually developing into a ban on dating between members of the school. They used us as an example to scare the monkeys."

"Originally, it was agreed that one of us would stay in school, and the other would be sent to another school for development. I thought other schools would be better than this one, so I volunteered to stay. Later, they no longer assigned me any subjects or classes to teach, and I've only been doing school cleaning work. I can only come out as a teacher on April Fool's Day every year."

Teacher Xu was originally feeling lucky that he was the one who stayed, but only today did he find out that Huang Youde was still in school.

"I also chose to stay at the school. They reduced my salary and asked me to teach two subjects, saying they didn't have a suitable Chinese teacher to replace Ah Xu. Later, I asked them where Ah Xu had gone, and they said he had gone to a key high school in the city, where his living allowance had improved significantly."

Lian Wu asked, "Didn't you confirm this with each other?"

Shouldn't normal people discuss this kind of thing with each other?

"Alas, they separated us on the first day they took action. I was locked in the disciplinary room and couldn't see anyone except the school leadership."

Huang Youde shuddered when he thought of the dark and damp environment of the disciplinary room. It was the first time he knew that this place existed in the school. It was hard to imagine how those punished students had to survive here.

Hua Meng successfully captured the location she wanted, "Where is the discipline room?"

Lian Wu also remembered the player who was captured on the first day - Li Qu.

They searched almost the entire school but could not find any trace of this player, and now the new location revealed by Huang Youde will be a key breakthrough.

But Huang Youde's next words poured cold water on them.

"I didn't know. I had just returned to the office when they knocked me out. When I regained consciousness, I was already in the disciplinary room."

Lian Wu thought for a moment and suddenly remembered that he had not yet received the bouquet reward.

He approached the two of them calmly and said quietly beside them, "Teacher, the flowers have been delivered, so it's time to give me the reward, right?"

Huang Youde and Teacher Xu didn't notice Lian Wu walking towards them from the front door at all. The sudden sound scared them.

"Yes, of course."

Teacher Xu untied the ribbon on the bouquet and took out a diamond-shaped nameplate from it.

【Mark of Time】

[Time Warp item, duration is 15 days, can be used in conjunction with other Time Warp items. Non-binding item, can be gifted to others, only valid within the Chaoyang High School dungeon.]

Sure enough, the props given for the troublesome tasks are not useless.

So far, they have obtained two time-jumping props.

After being interrupted like this, the sad atmosphere disappeared. Teacher Xu and Huang Youde looked at each other awkwardly, not knowing whether they should continue reading their lines. The script had never mentioned that a player would do such a thing.

The two of them used their facial features to frantically convey information to each other. To the players, this scene looked like the two of them were making faces.

Teacher Xu: What should we do next? I still have two lines to say.

Huang Youde: Just improvise. I still have more than a dozen lines left to recite.

Teacher Xu: Will my salary be deducted if I don’t finish my studies?

Huang Youde: Hmm... I don’t know. If it’s not triggered, it seems useless.

Teacher Xu: But they have triggered it, what should we do now?

Huang Youde: Should I force myself to finish it?

"Are your faces cramped? Teacher Xu and Teacher Huang are locked in the disciplinary room. Where are you?"

Feng Ling knew that the two of them couldn't continue reciting their lines, so he deliberately teased them and helped to steer the topic further.

Teacher Xu quickly seized the opportunity to finish reading his lines again.

"Alas, at that time, the head teachers of each class were notified of a meeting, and I went to the meeting room. I didn't expect that I would be put in a sack as soon as I entered. When I woke up, I was already in the dormitory building. They locked me in an empty dormitory, and I had to rely on the dormitory manager to pass on messages every day."

"Wait a minute, are you in the boys' or girls' dorm?"

Hua Meng suddenly remembered that the male and female dormitories at this school were separate, each in its own building, so they were likely managed by different dorm supervisors. The male dormitory supervisor was the one with the afro, but they hadn't been to the female dormitory, so they didn't know the details.

"It should be the girls' dormitory. The internal structures of male and female dormitories are the same. I can't tell them apart."

Teacher Xu didn't expect their focus to be here, and the script didn't specify whether it was a boys' or girls' dormitory.

Lian Wu asked, "What does the dormitory manager look like?"

"It was so long ago, I don't remember."

When Mr. Xu heard these problems that were beyond his understanding, he was almost on the verge of collapse. Couldn't the people who designed the script be more rigorous so that players wouldn't find so many loopholes?

According to this statement, players are unlikely to be able to find that dormitory, and there are probably no important clues in that dormitory, otherwise there wouldn't be so little relevant content.

Teacher Xu, who had already completed his lines, breathed a sigh of relief, at least he could keep his salary.

Huang Youde also wanted to recite his lines and keep his salary, but the three players in front of him were already lost in their own thoughts and no one paid any attention to him at all.

"Do you have any other questions?"

Huang Youde spoke cautiously, hoping they would let him finish his words.

"You two haven't seen each other for decades, and you were so affectionate just now. Now that you have time, why don't you get together and talk about your life over the years?"

Feng Ling felt that the acting skills of these two NPCs were still not very good, and their ability to adapt to changing circumstances was too poor. Jing Yi must ensure that when selecting employees in the future, they will provide good pre-job training.

[This is hilarious! I know NPCs have scripts, but these two's reactions are hilarious.]

[I looked through the previous clearance records for this instance, and I can only say that their acting is actually quite good, it's just that they encountered these three.]

[Goodness, these two are unlucky to have these three players.]

Huang Youde awkwardly returned to the office next door with Teacher Xu. Then, relying on the good sound insulation of the office, Teacher Xu began to laugh at Huang Youde unscrupulously.

When Huang Youde left, Lian Wu raised her own thoughts, "He seems to have something else to say."

"It's okay. He's a permanent NPC. You can contact him anytime for information. There's no rush. The information is there and won't disappear. And the more you keep him from talking, the more he'll want to talk. And when you bring it up again, he'll spill all the information. That way, the benefits outweigh the risks."

Hua Meng often uses this method in dungeons. Although it doesn't allow for a lot of information to be obtained immediately, it will allow him to obtain all the information much faster than usual. This type of frontal NPC will become increasingly anxious when information cannot be delivered. Later, if given a chance, he will find a way to get all the information out.

Lian Wu nodded, thinking of trying this method if there was a chance in the future.

First time seeing it, never played it before, want to play it, love to play it.

"Those two were really in the way, so it's a good idea to leave now. What do you think about the disciplinary room?"

Feng Ling pulled out a chair and sat on it to rest his feet for a while. He also brought a chair for Lian Wu.

Hua Meng sits in a wheelchair from time to time. Since her legs can't move, it does make her feel a lot more relaxed in a sense.

"Of course I have to go to the disciplinary room. It's too troublesome to find it myself. Wouldn't it be more direct to be punished one by one and sent there?"

Hua Meng thought so and indeed intended to put it into practice.

"I suggest that one person be punished, or two people, and at least one must be on the outside to provide support."

Lian Wu knew very well that one should not put all eggs in one basket. If all three of them were sent to the disciplinary room, if something unexpected happened, it would be a big trouble.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you before, be extra careful on the night of the Fool's Carnival. Those people in the dungeon won't be human then. Everyone should be prepared to escape."
