One afternoon, the two spent an afternoon reading, the newspaper in Bai Jingjing's hand was circled by her in 3 places, and Fang Rui circled more than 10 articles because he held the principle of preferring to make mistakes and not miss circles. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Bai Jingjing took a cursory glance at the articles in Fang Rui's circle and picked out 2 of them. The five stories are, in chronological order:

The first piece: Zhong Aimei, the longest-lived centenarian in Heishui County, just celebrated her 103rd birthday.

The second piece: A child in the village of Autumn Persimmon miraculously survived after falling into the water.

The third piece: a famous successful entrepreneur returned to his hometown to sponsor 6 million yuan from the county Hope Primary School.

Fourth: A child in Liuye Village was killed by a falling rock while playing in the mountain behind the village.

Fifth: There are teachers in the county hope primary school who are infected with strange diseases and cannot teach.

Fang Rui carefully read these five pieces of news several times, and always felt that these five things seemed to be connected in the dark, but he didn't know where to start.

"Let's go, go out for dinner!" Bai Jingjing threw the newspapers and magazines on the table, picked up Fang Rui and went out in a hurry. After asking the front desk of the guest house and the most lively place in the county at night, the two went to the so-called People's Square, found a restaurant in the surrounding area, solved the dinner, and came out of the restaurant after eating, and faintly heard the music from the square. The square dance that the masses of people like to see is in full swing, countless aunts and aunts are swaying their bodies and dancing gracefully, and there are many onlookers laughing and enjoying it.

Bai Jingjing stuffed the backpack to Fang Rui, and instantly got into the crowd of onlookers and left Fang Rui aside. What surprised Fang Rui even more was that Bai Jingjing not only watched, but also joined them after chatting with a few aunts for a while, and danced a square dance together. Fang Rui felt that his head was not enough, and a white bone spirit could actually dance the square dance in a good way, which was unanimously applauded by the aunts around him.

Standing next to him for more than an hour, just as Fang Rui was about to go back to the guest house first, Bai Jingjing jumped back from the circle of aunts, and said goodbye to Fang Rui with a happy face.

Fang Rui couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what kind of routine are you?" I'm kind of overwhelmed. ”

"Hee-hee!" Bai Jingjing was obviously very useful to Fang Rui calling her boss, and replied, "We sometimes pay attention to a reconnaissance skill, after all, the bookstore can only indicate a general direction, and the specific location still depends on us to find it ourselves." However, we must not look aimlessly, and it is a great wisdom to fully rely on the masses of the people at this time. Of course, to put it bluntly, it's actually about playing with aunts and aunts, almost pleasing them, what gossip and gossip can't you get? Besides, Heishui County is such a small place, who has something to do, and it will spread throughout the entire small county in a few days. ”

"Did you just come up with any useful news?" Fang Rui asked.

"Of course there is!" Bai Jingjing grabbed a handful of potato chips and stuffed them into her mouth before she spoke, "It seems that my sixth sense is really smart, and these five news are really inextricably linked." First of all, the deceased centenarian Zhong Aimei, she was the grandmother of Xu Kai, the principal of the county Aixin Primary School. Wang Xiaozhan, a child who survived the water in Qiu Persimmon Village, and Lu Ming, a child who was stoned to death in Liuye Village, are both second-grade students at the county Aixin Primary School, and they are also good friends in the same class. The successful entrepreneur who donated to the county love primary school is called Lu Mingyuan, who is Lu Mingzheng's cousin. If Lu Mingzheng is talented but lacks luck, then Lu Mingyuan is talented and lucky, and he is also the first high-achieving student in Heishui County to be admitted to Kyoto** University more than 30 years ago. In recent years, he has returned to his hometown to invest, and has donated several sums of money to the county to build roads and schools. He funded the construction of the county love primary school, and just three weeks ago he invested another 6 million yuan to build a library and stadium. Unexpectedly, after this incident, the teachers at the school were infected with strange diseases one after another, and the county hospital couldn't find anything. ”

"Why do all these things seem to revolve around this school?" Fang Rui said.

"I think so too, so, hee-hee!" Bai Jingjing winked at Fang Rui and said, "We'll go to school tomorrow。。。。。 Apply for a teacher! ”

"Huh? To become a teacher? Which one are you singing? Fang Rui felt that Bai Jingjing's thinking was jumping too much, normal people generally couldn't keep up!

"Since so many things are related to the school, of course, we have to look it up, and what could be easier to find out about the school than being a teacher in this school?" Bai Jingjing vibrates with words.

"But we're here to find the missing pages of the book of life, not to check the school!" Fang Rui was helpless.

"Don't forget, the school's biggest patron, Lu Mingyuan, is Lu Mingzheng's cousin, which can be regarded as a big clue. Don't worry, my sixth sense is very effective, I think as long as I check the school, I will definitely find the missing page! Saying that, Bai Jingjing patted her chest with confidence.

"Okay, you're the boss, you're in charge!" Fang Rui still felt very unreliable, but there was really no better idea.

So the next day, Bai Jingjing and Fang Rui went to the school to apply for a job, and the advantage of working with a monster is that the fake certificate says that there is one, except for the name, the others have become a pair of sisters and brothers in a small town in a neighboring county, and their parents passed away, and after graduating from college in a third-tier city, it is difficult to find a job in a big city, so they simply come back to find a job.

Fang Rui looked at the ID card in his hand a little depressed, and even his surname was changed by Bai Jingjing to follow her to say that it was for her sister and brother to have the same surname so that she would not be suspected, but in order to find the missing page of the life book as soon as possible, Fang Rui couldn't care so much.

Maybe the school really lacked teachers, so the interview went smoothly and passed, but the school said that they would have to go through a 3-month probationary period first, which Bai Jingjing and Fang Rui didn't care, anyway, the purpose of the two of them was not to be teachers.

After taking the teaching aids and assigning the desk, Fang Rui looked at the class schedule with some apprehension, although he had studied in college, it did not mean that he would be a teacher, and he was also a math teacher. On the other hand, Bai Jingjing looked relaxed, and the work of the Chinese teacher seemed to be completely difficult for her.

"Relax, haven't you been in class for so many years before? Afraid of what? Bai Jingjing cheered Fang Rui up.

"I'm a student in class, not a teacher, it's different!" Fang Rui hurriedly held the textbook or something in his hand, and said with some complaints.

"You're teaching a first- or second-grader, don't worry! Let's go! Bai Jingjing cheered Fang Rui up again, Fang Rui shook his head helplessly, and could only go to class hard.

The morning class was spent in Fang Rui's apprehension, maybe the children in the small county town are relatively simple and do not have the habit of playing tricks on the new teacher, although Fang Rui is a novice, he has finished the class properly.

Back in the office, Bai Jingjing was already waiting for him, Bai Jingjing only had one class in the morning, and the rest were in the afternoon. Because two-thirds of the teachers in the school are sick, there are very few people in the office, and it is lunch time, so there are only two people in the office now, Bai Jingjing and Fang Rui.

"How?" Bai Jingjing asked.

"It's okay, the teaching is relatively smooth." Fang Rui wiped his sweat.

"I took the time to walk around the school while you were in class, and I thought there was something wrong with the school. There is a very strange fluctuation. Bai Jingjing said.

"Fluctuations? Why didn't I feel it? Fang Rui asked.

"You're not a youkai, so you don't feel so strongly about the Book of Fortunes. We yokai are generally very sensitive to the sense of fortune books, which is why most of the clerks in bookstores are yokai. More than you ordinary people, we can sense whether the book of fortunes is polluted or the pages are activated. Bai Jingjing replied.

"What do you mean that the pages have been activated?" Fang Rui asked, he has seen the life book of pollution, but what is activation?

"Every page in the book of fortunes is like this." Bai Jingjing said, picked up a math textbook, opened it, and continued, "It's all fixed, and every page can't be swapped or damaged at will, unless you tear off one of the pages." The activation of the pages is the way the book of life has become. ”

Saying that, Bai Jingjing picked up a loose-leaf notebook on the desk again, opened it and said: "Look at this kind of notebook, as long as you press the pages bound here, you can change the order at will, or you can remove a page from another loose-leaf notebook and put it on this one." For the activation of the pages of the book of life, it is similar to this kind of page that can be changed in order and even a page in the book of life can be put in. There are two possibilities that Lu Mingzheng's life book is missing pages, one is that a page was torn off when his life book was set to death. There is also a possibility that a page of his life book was removed after it was activated. ”

"It seems to be almost the same, it's all missing a page!" Fang Rui didn't care.

"What a difference! The torn pages of the book of life cannot be replaced with someone else's book of life, and at most the owner of the book of life can only be missing one page. But activation, which means that this page can be loaded into someone else's book of life. The content that exists in the book of life is predestined and cannot be changed at will, or even read in advance. Those fortune tellers in your human society, do you think you can really calculate your fortune? They just peeked at some of the contents of the book of fortunes through some means. They violated the rules of the Book of Destiny, so most of them died early or did not die well. Even reading the content has to bear such a big consequence, let alone changing the content? If the life book of each life is activated and can be exchanged with each other at will, isn't the world chaotic? Bai Jingjing crossed her hands on her waist and explained to Fang Rui.

"Oh yes, that seems to be a bit trickier to activate!" Fang Rui roughly understood what Bai Jingjing meant.

"If you tear it off, you just need to find it and take it back to the bookstore, the torn pages are useless to other beings, only the bookstore clerk will look for them, as I have encountered before. Activating is more troublesome, because the activated page can be added to other life books, which means that this page is beneficial to any living being, not only our bookstore clerks. And I've never encountered activated pages before, and I haven't actually dealt with how to recycle them! Bai Jingjing took out her mobile phone with some hesitation, thinking about whether to call back to the bookstore for support.

"Is the missing page of Lu Mingzheng's life book definitely the page activated?" Fang Rui asked.

"yes, I haven't confirmed it yet!" Bai Jingjing put the phone back again, and didn't confirm that Bai Jingjing didn't want to call back so soon, after all, it was the first time to take an apprentice out to complete the task, Bai Jingjing didn't want to retreat so quickly, you must know that every time you come out for foreign work, the store manager will score and affect the year-end performance!

Put down the phone, Bai Jingjing looked at her watch and said to Fang Rui: "Let's not talk about it yet, let's go to lunch, I still have a few classes to go to in the afternoon!" ”

Bai Jingjing, who was a little worried about this mission, rarely didn't even pay much attention to eating, and stuffed it into his mouth without a mouthful, while Fang Rui always felt that someone was peeping at him, but when he looked up, there was no suspicious person in the school cafeteria.

hastily solved the lunch Bai Jingjing had to perform the duties of the teacher to go to class, Fang Rui corrected the homework in a decent manner and then went to the teacher's dormitory, which saved Fang Rui the cost of renting a guest house.

The school's teachers' dormitory is a small three-storey building, the first and second floors are for female teachers and staff, and the third floor is for male teachers and staff. Because many teachers and staff actually live in the county, the occupancy rate of the teacher's dormitory is actually not high, and many teachers are sick and hospitalized or recuperating at home, so even if it is still around two o'clock in the afternoon, there is only Fang Rui on the third floor of the dormitory.

Using the key given by the dean of teaching to open the door of the dormitory room, the smell of dust and mold made Fang Rui couldn't help but cough a few times. The furnishings in the room are very simple, a bed, a desk, a few chairs, and a very simple wardrobe are all furniture. The toilet and sink are shared at the innermost end of the hallway, and there are no appliances in the room except for a lamp and a fan. Throwing the backpack and himself on the bed, Fang Rui lay down and looked at the ceiling in a daze.

The surroundings were quiet, and just when Fang Rui was about to fall asleep, he seemed to hear footsteps in the corridor outside the room. Fang Rui, who got up, opened the door and saw a young man wearing a pink shirt slowly walking out of the public bathroom in the innermost part of the corridor, with a book under his arm, his face was very pale and a sickly blue-gray. When he slowly raised his head to look at Fang Rui, he was startled, and the resentment and ferocity that flashed in the young man's eyes made Fang Rui feel that he couldn't help but shiver in broad daylight. The young man didn't mean to greet Fang Rui at all, turned around and opened the door and walked into the room closest to the public bathroom.

Fang Rui walked towards the innermost end of the corridor to go to the toilet, and when he passed by that room, he subconsciously lowered his head and saw a puddle of water flowing out from under the crack in the closed door. When he walked through the room and almost reached the door of the toilet, Fang Rui glanced back again, the puddle of water was actually like a snake meandering slowly in the direction of the toilet, this felt like being followed by a puddle of water. Walking into the toilet quickly, Fang Rui felt that he might be a little nervous, how could a puddle of water have autonomous consciousness? Shaking his head, Fang Rui solved the internal emergency problem as quickly as possible, and walked out of the toilet door, and the puddle of water just flowed to the toilet door. Striding over from this pool of water, Fang Rui took a few more steps forward, forcibly suppressing the desire to look back, and he kept his gaze fixed on the front. Entered his dormitory and took a few books, Fang Rui walked out of the room and went downstairs again, when he turned around, Fang Rui told himself in his heart not to look at the pool of water again, but the corner of his eye still made him glance, the pool of water actually flowed back into the door of the nearest toilet.
