Chapter 45: The Principal's Office

"What? Do you think the sun is harsh? ”

Just behind the window, a chair with a back slowly moved over.

A woman with her back to me slowly rose from the chair. She walked to the window, closed the curtains, and muttered, "How can there be smoke here?" Please, please don't smoke in this house. ”

But I don't smoke? Does it smell of smoke here?

I shrunk my nose, but I didn't smell any smoke.

"Don't litter cigarette butts, if you throw them everywhere, this place will catch fire!" The woman added.

Who was she talking to, was she talking to me?

I turned my head and looked at the office. But here, there is no one else but me and her?

I turned my head again, and the old woman had already turned around, and we were facing each other.

This is a very old lady with silver hair and a wrinkled face.

Could it be that she is the principal of this middle school? How could she be so old?

"Why are you here so late? What about Mary? She looked at me very seriously.

"Mary?" I was stunned and turned around.

But behind me, there was nothing.

When I turned around again, suddenly, the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at me!

Yes? I was startled and subconsciously raised my hand.

"No, don't shoot, what's going on?" I finally spoke.

The old lady smirked and said, "Mary is gone, so come with her!" ”

"No, don't!" I screamed.

However, the old lady had already pulled the trigger!

I heard the sound of a bullet coming out of the chamber, and I tried to hide, but it was too late.

Bullet, into my forehead. At that moment, something stabbed me in the skull.

With this gunshot, I slowly collapsed.

At the moment of falling, my eyes were still open.

Why, why are you killing me?

I'm really unwilling, I'm not willing to die like this!

Why, why did she ask me to go with Mary? Could it be that Mary is also dead?

At the last moment when I was about to fall, I finally saw the old lady's true face.

She actually tore that face off!

No, it wasn't actually her face at all, but a very realistic human skin mask!

After taking off the mask, this person turned out to be a man?

The man squinted and smiled at me!

Who is he? Could it be that he is Wu Qiang?

No, he's not Wu Qiang, I know who he is!

He, he must be that Doctor Meng!

That's right, who else would say that? Who else but him? By the way, and that pistol, that's, it's his pistol! But isn't this pistol clearly on my body, and why is it back in his hands?

However, I now realize that it was too late.

My eyes were darkening, and there seemed to be red liquid flying out of my eyes.

So, it's probably my blood, right?

The red blood, in the end, also turned into black······

Yes! I'm waking up from a scream.

It turns out that I'm not dead yet!

I was still in this spacious office, with no one around, the chair behind the window, resting quietly, and there was no one on it.

How did I fall into the hallucination again?

Outside the window, it was still pitch black, and no sunlight was shining in. In this room, only there is a desk lamp on the desk, which is on.

This is supposed to be the principal's office, right? But there was no one here, except me.

I searched the room and finally stopped in front of a desk.

On the desk, there is a stack of books. I was curious to flip through it, but I found that it was all English textbooks, and there was a medical book in English, but when I saw the pictures of skeletons and human organs in the book, I couldn't stand it.

Strange, why does this principal like to read such medical books? Isn't this a medical school?

Suddenly, I noticed that just under the stack of books, there seemed to be something shiny.

So, I pulled it out from under the stack of books, and I found it to be a necklace, a necklace in the shape of a heart.

I took the heart-shaped necklace in my hand and looked at it, but when I turned it over, I was surprised to find that behind the "heart" of this chain, there were a few English letters engraved!

And these letters, I am all too familiar.

“MARRY”!

Oh my God, this, the back of this chain, is engraved with Mary's name? Could it be that this is Mary's necklace?

With that in mind, I pulled the ring out of my trouser pocket and tied it to the chain.

YES, THE RING AND NECKLACE ARE ENGRAVED WITH THE ENGLISH WORD "MARRY" IN MARRY, AND THE FONT IS EXACTLY THE SAME ON BOTH PLACES.

This is Mary's necklace! That's right, that's her necklace!

But how could Mary's necklace be in the principal's office?

By the way, didn't the headmaster ask Mary to come to his office? Could it be that the headmaster wanted Mary to see the chain? Or, Did Mary leave the necklace in the principal's office?

So, is the Mary in the headmaster's mouth the Mary I'm looking for?

That's right, it must be like this. With this heart-shaped necklace here, it must not have run!

Since this chain is Mary's thing, then you're welcome. So, I quickly put the necklace away and put it with the ring.

I was about to take it away, when suddenly, I noticed: behind the desk, on the bottom layer of the bookshelf on the wall, in the shadows, there seemed to be a frame for a group photo.

So, I took out the picture frame and looked at it through the lamp on my desk.

Sure enough, it was a group photo of the teachers. However, this photo looks very old, it is still a black and white photo, and the name of the school at the top of the photo has been worn so that it cannot be seen, and you can only see "a group photo of a teacher from such and such a school". The date of the photo is not recorded on the photo, but since it is a black and white photo, it is obviously some years old.

In this group photo, I didn't find Mary. The female teachers here are all black-haired, yellow-skinned, and there is not a blonde foreign woman.

Could it be that my assumptions were wrong?

I was a little disappointed and put the frame back in its place.

When I put it back, I accidentally dropped a book.

I wanted to put the book back in its place, but when I saw the title, I was stunned.

"Ghost Hospital"?

As soon as I saw the title, I immediately became nervous again.

I didn't dare open the book because it would make me think of that terrible place.

Strange, why is there such a book in the principal's office? What is written in this book? Could it be, this is a horror novel? That principal, she likes to read horror novels?

I didn't dare open the book, but curiosity drove me to open it.

I flipped it up, and on the title page of the book, there was a text written like this.

"All we fear is the ghost of our hearts!"

When I saw this paragraph, I was shocked.

I tried to close the book, but I opened it and read it.

To my surprise, this isn't actually a horror novel, although the title smacks of horror fiction. However, this is really just a book about the prevention and treatment of mental illness. In the book, the word "ghost" is used to describe a certain mental illness, that is, schizophrenia.

Flipping through the pages, I found a business card on one of the pages. I was even more amazed when I saw it!

On that business card, it turned out to be Meng Tianming's name!

It's just that it only says "Meng Tianming, a psychiatric doctor", but it doesn't have the name of the hospital he works for.

Dr. Meng? How could it be?

I never thought that the principal of this middle school would have Dr. Meng Tianming's business card?

However, isn't this Meng Tianming Mary's attending doctor?

Dr. Meng, Mary, Secondary School Principal? What is the relationship between the three of them?

Before, I always thought that Mary was the teacher at this school, but in that photo of the teachers, I didn't find Mary.

However, because this photo is so old, it cannot be ruled out that it is just a group photo of those teachers from the past. Mary may have only entered the school later, so just because she's not in that picture doesn't mean she's not the teacher here.

By the way, why did I forget to take a look at it, so what does the principal look like? Could she be like the old lady in my hallucination?

So, I took out the picture frame again and looked at it carefully.

Strangely, although the headmaster in this picture frame is also a woman, he is not that old. This is a middle-aged female teacher with a very ordinary appearance and a very kind appearance. Doesn't you look like a bad person?

But why does she have Dr. Meng's business card?

Could it be, could it be?

I suddenly thought of a possibility, which made me very scared and uneasy!

If Mary is a foreign teacher in this middle school, then will this principal find a reason to send Mary to the ghost hospital?

The reason, perhaps, is that Mary suffers from schizophrenia!

Yes, this headmaster must be the one who sent Mary to that ghost hospital. Mary was sent there and tortured by Meng Tianming. Perhaps, it was Dr. Meng who also fell in love with his patient, Mary, but Mary refused to give in, so he killed her! Then, fearing that the matter would be revealed, he attempted suicide and left a suicide note?

Yes, it must be so! Otherwise, the sentence in Meng Tianming's suicide note - "If one day I am going to leave this world, I will also take you with me!" And how do you explain it?

But why did the headmaster send Mary to the Ghost Hospital?

Could it be because Mary offended her? Or, because of some of Mary's behaviors, she mistakenly thought that Mary was a schizophrenic?

I'd rather believe that the kind-hearted headmistress in the photo was a good person, and she just mistook Mary for schizophrenia, and maybe it was Meng Tianming who said something bad to make the headmaster believe this, so she agreed to take Mary away and take her to the terrible ghost hospital, right?

In my dream, the wrinkled old lady was not the principal at all, but Meng Tianming pretended!

That's right, that Meng Tianming is the real culprit! All this is a play directed by him!

Just as I was reasoning and speculating here, suddenly, there was a knock at the door!

Yes? Could it be that the headmistress is back······
