An infinite journey starting from paradise

[Hohoho, I have to jump up to kiss you on the chin. It seems like if I don't use a pillow as a cushion, I'll just have to hold you in my arms. (? ???ω??? ?)]

"No, buddy..."

Lin Shangren originally wanted to condemn the system girl's inferior remarks, but then Ayano Aya in front of him showed him what a real inferior was.

“I’m so sorry!!!”

After exposing her underwear, she jumped up and kissed the teacher forcefully. If it was taken too far, it would be enough to be charged with forced molestation. At this time, Ayano Aya's mind was blank, and she could only act according to her instinctive spirit - after she stood firm, she bowed ninety degrees to Hayashi Naoto. Due to the huge height difference between the two, and Ayano Aya did not judge the distance between them, so - Ayano Aya happened to bite Hayashi Naoto's zipper when she said the sound "ん" and closed her mouth. When she bent down and bowed, she unzipped Hayashi Naoto's trousers and coincidentally unzipped his underwear. If nothing unexpected happened, Ayano Aya would have to face a "blow to the head".

Fortunately, Lin Shangren reacted quickly. He quickly used the black shadow to seal his "chicken coop", and then helped up the one who almost fell to the ground in panic.

Lin Shangren zipped up his pants as if nothing had happened and said, "You're quite flexible. Can you get full marks on the forward bend?"

"Teacher...I...um, sorry..." Ayano Aya was a little incoherent.

"Okay, tidy up your appearance and report to your class."

"Yes!"

Ayano Ayano rushed towards Class 3 with a red face as if escaping. This time she did not fall on the spot, but when Lin Shangren turned his head, another beautiful girl with red twin ponytails encountered an accident - when she walked into the auditorium, the sharp nails on the door scratched her thigh.

The rusty nail would have pierced her thigh, causing her to contract tetanus and eventually die. However, thanks to the effects of Lucky Pervert, the nail simply snagged on her pantyhose as she passed by, leaving a hole in it that exposed her smooth calf.

"she is……?"

【Name: Akasawa Izumi】

[Race: Human female]

[Identity: Student of Kitayami Middle School]

[Status: Embarrassed, Annoyed]

[Notes: Red hair, twin tails, tsundere, stubborn, high attack and low defense, guess a classic character~]

"Asuka, right... If we make this comparison, Misaki Mei is also quite similar to Ayanami Rei. Both are short-haired, three-no girls..." Lin Shangren thought.

[However, Akasawa Izumi was not blinded. In "Another", it was Mizaki Mei who was blinded in one eye. (?ω?)]

"No... Hell jokes right out of the blue, right?"

[I learned this from you. She seems to have noticed you looking at her. Do you think she'll come over and give you a big slap?]

"How is that possible? Slapping a stranger for being seen in such an embarrassing situation is not uncommon in real life—look, she just turned around and walked away."

What is she going to do? (●—●)

"It's obvious that she was going to the bathroom to take off her pantyhose. From a cosmetic point of view, bare legs are definitely better than wearing pantyhose with holes. Of course, other scenarios are another matter."

"Let's go check it out? A restroom, a beautiful girl, ripped socks, a lucky pervert... maybe something will happen. At the very least, I have to go make sure she doesn't get killed by bad luck, right? (?ω?)"

Looking at the system mother's suggestion, Lin Shangren asked back, "Don't you think the frequency of this disaster is a bit high? It's as if it's in a hurry to kill a few members of Class 3, Grade 3 first.

In the original novel "Another," the murders caused by the disaster didn't start until well after school had started. If, according to my previous hypothesis, the deaths caused by the disaster were intended as a sacrifice for the resurrection of the dead or something else, does this mean that the person behind this is eagerly trying to resurrect someone or achieve some other goal?

Lin Shangren glanced at the teachers and students in the auditorium, and at the same time used his perception to lock onto Akasawa Izumi who had just left the auditorium.

……

Under Lin Shangren's protection and the intervention of the "Lucky Pervert", the opening ceremony went smoothly without any accidents that could lead to casualties. Apart from Lin Shangren himself being knocked down by several busty teachers and several students having their buttons on their lapels popped off for no reason, it can be said that everything was basically safe and sound.

After the opening ceremony, the students, led by their teachers, headed to their new classrooms. The third-grade class, third grade classroom, had already been opened, and someone was already sitting in their seat, taking a nap.

Mizaki Mei, the "non-existent person", does not need to attend the opening ceremony because she "does not exist". The teacher will not call her when she takes the roll, and the students will simply ignore her existence after entering the classroom.

It wasn't until the students began to introduce themselves that Jian Qiming, who had been brought into this world, finally regained consciousness. Shocked at the thought of having traveled back to the first day of school, Jian Qiming didn't act rashly, but instead tried to remain calm and observe the situation around him.

At this moment, she noticed that a strange man in a black windbreaker was staring at her intently on the side of the podium.

Jian Qiming felt very confused. Normally, even new teachers would be told not to call the names of "non-existent people" or ask questions. Even staring and eye contact should be avoided, or in other words, any behavior that would make the "non-existent people" feel their existence should not be done.

“Don’t look at me…”

Seeing Qi Ming lowered his head, she wanted to avoid eye contact with Lin Shangren.

"Leave directly? No way. If he's a new teacher who knows nothing about curses and disasters, he'll definitely stop me if I leave the classroom now. Hmm... what if he's the kind of materialist who doesn't believe in superstition? Will he call on me and ask me to introduce myself later?"

Mizaki Mei's guess was correct, Hayashi Naoto had indeed planned to do so - Hayashi Naoto was quite sympathetic to Mizaki Mei: not to mention being isolated and bullied by the group, at the end of the original work, the third grade class three had a group training, and Akasawa Izumi revealed that the way to solve the disaster was to kill the dead again. The students who suspected that Mizaki Mei was the dead directly hunted her down, and she almost died under Akasawa Izumi's knife.

If possible, Lin Shangren would certainly like to abolish this outrageous "non-existent person" system. Of course, the premise is that he has solved the disaster, otherwise it will only backfire.

"Wait a minute."

Lin Shangren shifted his gaze and looked at Sakuragi Yukari who had just finished introducing herself. The girl's expression was a little embarrassed. The reason for her embarrassment was naturally Lin Shangren. She never thought that the teacher who caught her running around on the stairs would actually be her deputy head teacher.

Kakinuma Sayuri and Ayano Aya also had awkward expressions. Especially Ayano Aya, after sitting down, she lowered her head the whole time as if she was afraid that Hayashi Naoto would notice her.

However, it was obviously useless to try to cover up the truth. Soon, it was her turn to introduce herself. After the students finished their self-introductions, it was the homeroom teacher's turn to speak. However, this time, it was not Reiko Mikami who took the podium, but Shoji Kubodera.

On the one hand, as the original teacher for the third grade, Kubodera Shoji wanted to give the students one last class before he completely retired. On the other hand, Reiko Mikami was really in a bit of a predicament right now - just now, when she was touching up her makeup in front of the big mirror in the bathroom, she happened to meet Hayashi Naoro who walked in. Then, under the effect of [Lucky Pervert], the faucet instantly went out of control, and the splashing water soaked Reiko Mikami from head to toe.

Her top was half-soaked, her pale pink bra barely visible beneath. It was clearly impossible to teach students in this state. So, after asking Lin Shangren to give her opening speech, Sanshin Reiko, draped in Lin Shangren's coat, fled to the school health room to get a piece of clothing from the school nurse.

After leaving the bathroom, Lin Shangren happened to meet Kubodera Shoji. After hearing his wish to give one last lesson to the students, he outsourced the teaching job to him.

After Kubodera Shoji took over the class, Hayashi Naoto walked directly out of the classroom of Class 3, Grade 3.

He planned to go to the teacher's office first and ask the teacher who had no classes for information about the curse of Class 3, Grade 3, the case 26 years ago, and the incident that occurred in 1986.

When he entered the office, he happened to meet the school principal.

"Ah, Mr. Lin, is everything going well with your students?" Perhaps because the effect of the Yaxi seal had not yet worn off, the principal was very enthusiastic towards Lin Shangren.

"Not bad." Lin Shangren replied.

"By the way, what is Teacher Lin doing in the office?"

"Mr. Kubodera is over there in the classroom. I came here to check out my office."

Since the principal had been in the school for less than five years and all the information he knew had been squeezed out by Lin Shangren, Lin Shangren did not intend to say much to him, but just found a random excuse to get the matter over with.

"Oh, I see. There should be a vacant seat. After all, Mr. Kubodera has resigned. Mr. Lin can just take his seat."

As he said this, the principal stepped aside and reached out to point out Kubodera Shoji's desk to Hayashi Naoto, but he was stunned.

"Why are there so many people here?"

"Ok?"

Lin Shangren took a quick look around and found that all the desks in the office had name tags on them. None of them belonged to Kubodera Shoji, and none of them were empty.

"What happened? Did the people from the General Affairs Department move the table away?" the principal muttered in confusion.

"No, the number of desks in this office corresponds exactly to the number of third-grade teachers. Even if Mr. Kubodera retires, there will definitely be new teachers to take his place. There's no need for the General Affairs Department to move the desks."

The person who will replace Mr. Kubodera was just confirmed this morning by you, the principal. It just so happens that his replacement is Ms. Reiko Mikami, who already works in this office. And I'm the one who will take over Ms. Mikami's position as deputy homeroom teacher. In other words, the desks and chairs in this office should be perfectly in place.

But now there's one set of desks and chairs missing. Mr. Principal, have you ever thought about this question: Are the only dead people who are resurrected really students? And is there really only one dead person?

"You mean?"

"It can be confirmed that there is currently one dead person among the teachers and students related to Class 3, Grade 3!" Lin Shangren made a judgment.

Chapter 332: Like a Monkey's Paw

"How can it be?!"

On the second floor of Misaki Doll Workshop, Wuguo looked at the vampire doll on the table with astonishment.

The doll, which hadn't even been polished to its joints, was now fully assembled and even dressed in a black kimono decorated with scarlet red spider lilies. Hair accessories and facial makeup were also complete.

It sat quietly on the table, with the memo paper that Wuguo had written last night beside it, and in its arms, it held the dark red pebble and several transparent gems of different colors.

"Could it be that I'm dreaming again?"

Wuguo picked up the note in confusion, and it said: "Finish the Vampire Princess first, then prepare four-color gem accessories for the six legs of the Neti Bride. Ming will start school tomorrow, remember to prepare a lunch box for her."

This was what Wuguo had originally planned to do, but perhaps because she was too exhausted these past few days, she slept until nine o'clock this morning. She was the only one at home making dolls, so she couldn't have been sleepwalking, could she?

"eccentric."

Wuguo placed the gem in the vampire doll's arms on the table, then picked it up and examined it carefully.

"It can't be that you came back to life on your own, right?" Wuguo thought.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the doll, Wuguo placed the Vampire Princess doll on the display stand. He then prepared to pick up the gems on the table and began to make the Neti Bride doll.

"Don't think about things you can't figure out. Thinking will only add to your troubles." This is probably Wuguo's life creed.

Starting from eleven years ago, her attitude towards her life became like this: "I'm too lazy to think, too lazy to delve into it, just live like this."

Some things aren't something you've never had, but as time goes by, you no longer need them, so you forget about them. For Wuguo, that "thing" is probably the hope for life.

After a miscarriage and divorce, her imagined happy life was completely shattered and irreparable, Wuguo's life became a completely dull and mechanical repetition. Except for the difference between the dolls she made every day and the drawings she drew, everything else was almost the same.

There is no hope, no joy, only living.

However, there was still some spiritual sustenance left in her heart: even though she knew clearly that her daughter was dead, her husband had abandoned her, and she had lost her ability to have children... Even though she knew these cold and hard facts, Wu Guo, who had no desire to live, would occasionally fantasize that her daughter was still alive.

She imagined what her daughter would look like when she grew up, and made a doll that looked exactly like her adopted daughter, Mizaki Mei. That was her daughter, the one who left her before she could even give her a name.

She shouldn't have been like this. She should have loved Jian Qiming, loved this daughter of flesh and blood. She should have regained her confidence in life. She should, she should...

But she can't.

"Although it has flesh and blood, it's not real..."

Wuguo stared at the vampire doll in the cabinet and muttered softly, not knowing whether he was talking about the doll or about himself and his "daughter".

Suddenly, Wuguo seemed to have an idea. She picked up the notepad and wrote the following words with a ballpoint pen: "Let the vampire princess come back to life."

Then, she put down her pen and stared at the doll in the cabinet with anticipation.

Fifteen minutes passed without any change in the puppet.

"Is it because I was staring at it?"

Wuguo turned his back, then suddenly looked back, like a child testing whether Woody and Buzz Lightyear would suddenly move.

After several attempts, Wuguo finally gave up trying.

"I'm such an idiot."

She crumpled the note paper into a ball and threw it into the trash can.

In a house a few hundred meters away from Misaki's doll workshop, a tragedy is about to happen because of the words written by Wuguo.

……

“Ding ding ding dong~”

It was twelve o'clock noon, and the lunch bell of Beiyejian Middle School rang on time.

Students walked out of the classroom, either to the cafeteria or to a quiet place in groups of three or five, chatting while eating their lunch boxes.

In the classroom of Class 3, Grade 3, Jian Qiming picked up her schoolbag. She was going to go to the library to eat the red bean bread she bought from the supermarket as usual.

As for the fact that she seemed to have traveled through time, she could only put it aside for the time being - she had no friends to discuss this matter with, and she couldn't contact others at school. Even if she went back a month, she didn't seem to be able to do anything.

Except for one thing.

"Try to contact Ogura Yumi after school and ask her and her brother to be careful about objects thrown from high places."

Suddenly saying such words to a classmate she didn't know well would definitely make her look like a weirdo, not to mention that Mizaki Mei was a "non-existent person" isolated by the group. However, Mizaki Mei didn't care about it at all - her personality was somewhat influenced by her adoptive mother, Kiriko, she was silent, calm and did her own thing.

Jian Qiming had made plans, and then turned to look at Ogura Yumi's seat. She was sitting there chatting and laughing with Ayano Aya and Akasawa Izumi at the table in front of her, sharing a lunch box.

At this moment, Yumi Ogura's cell phone suddenly rang. After answering the call, she was stunned where she stood.

"is that a lie……"

"Yumi, what's wrong?"

“Liar…Liar!”

Shouting, Yumi Ogura rushed out of the classroom with her cell phone.

"Yumi?!"

Ayano Aya and Akazawa Izumi got up to chase after them, and then saw Ogura Yumi and Mikami Reiko sitting on the ground at the door.

"It hurts..."

Reiko Mikami rubbed her chest where she was hit and stood up from the ground.

Looking at Yumi Ogura, who was sitting motionless on the ground with tears in her eyes, Reiko Mikami asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? Did something happen?"

Yumi Ogura stared blankly ahead, her voice trembling as she spoke, "My brother... is dead..."
