Chapter 129 National Destiny: The Evil Cultivator’s Playground 17

In the quiet of the library, Zhu Lili and her friends each picked a seemingly insignificant book and sat by the window to read it. However, their eyes would drift to Uncle Zhang's office from time to time, carefully observing his work and rest time. Whenever Uncle Zhang stood up to pour water or left the office for a short time, they would exchange glances with each other, signaling the other party to continue paying attention.

Time passed slowly, and the sunlight outside the window gradually softened. Zhu Lili turned the pages of the book in her hand more and more slowly, but her eyes wandered between the bookshelves, trying to find a possible escape route. She noticed that the back door of the library was locked, and although the window was open, there was a barren grassland outside, which was obviously not a good choice for escape.

Just as she was lost in thought, Uncle Zhang suddenly came over and said with a smile: "Students, the library is about to close, please come back tomorrow." Zhu Lili and the others looked at each other. Although they felt a little unwilling, they could only nod obediently.

They exchanged a few words with Uncle Zhang and left the library. On the way back to the dormitory, Liu Lei couldn't help asking, "Sister Li, do you think there's anything wrong with this library?" Zhu Lili pondered for a moment and said, "It's indeed a bit strange. We have to be careful, especially Uncle Zhang. I always feel that there's something wrong with him."

Qian Zhe also agreed: "I think so. He seems too enthusiastic, as if he is deliberately trying to please us." Zhu Lili nodded and said, "That's right. We need to find out the situation here as soon as possible and see if there are any clues."

They arrived in front of the teaching building and saw a sign hanging at the door with the distribution of each class written on it. Zhu Lili and her friends found their class and found that it was in a classroom on the first floor. They decided to go to the classroom first to see what the class would be like tomorrow.

Everyone was hiding by the window outside the classroom, secretly observing the students in the classroom. The classroom was already full of students, and the expressions of these students were dull, as if they had no souls. Liu Lei was shocked, thinking that there was indeed something wrong with the students here.

They quietly exchanged their findings with each other. However, throughout the class, nothing unusual happened except that the teacher occasionally called on them to ask questions. Although Zhu Lili and the others were puzzled, they could only put their minds at ease for the time being.

After class, they left the teaching building and began to wander around the campus. They found that although the school looked normal on the outside, it always gave people a gloomy feeling.

They came to a corner of the playground and saw several students chatting together. Zhu Lili and her friends quietly approached them to listen to what they were saying. However, when they got closer, they found that the students' expressions suddenly became ferocious, as if they had seen something terrible. They screamed and fled in all directions, which surprised Zhu Lili and her friends.

When they returned to the dormitory, they found that the other four girls had also returned. Zhu Lili decided to take the opportunity to find out about the celebrities on campus. She asked casually:

"Girls, how long have you been here? Are there any campus celebrities?" One of the girls replied:

"Of course there is! There is a girl named Liu Jing in our class, and she is a popular figure in the school!"

Zhu Lili was moved and asked, "Oh? Why is she so famous?" The girl curled her lips and said, "It's because she is beautiful! It's just that her family is a little poor, but the teachers like her very much. I don't know what's so good about that bitch that she is so popular with so many teachers."

Zhu Lili's heart tightened, thinking that this Liu Jing might be the one who committed suicide by jumping off the building. She wanted to learn more about Liu Jing's situation and see if she could find any clues.

However, as they were talking, the sky gradually darkened. Zhu Lili felt that the negative energy and resentment around her began to increase, which made her feel very uneasy. She looked at Chi Meng and found that she also showed a nervous expression.

Zhu Lili gave a comforting look and then asked about school matters.

Lily listened to the four girls' complaints about Liu Jing, and couldn't help but sigh at Liu Jing's fate. She noticed that as the night deepened, the atmosphere in the dormitory gradually became weird. She calmly guided the topic, trying to get the four girls to talk more deeply about Liu Jing.

"I heard that Liu Jing's family is very poor, but why do the teachers like her so much?" Zhu Lili asked deliberately, with a hint of curiosity in her tone.

A short-haired girl snorted disdainfully and said, "Who knows? That bitch pretends to be pitiful all day long, and the teachers will definitely feel sorry for her. Besides, she is a good student, and teachers will definitely like students with good grades."

Another long-haired girl also echoed: "Exactly. She studies all the time every day. I don't know why she works so hard. I think she just wants to change her fate through studying. It's a pity that even if she gets into university, her family is so poor that they can't afford to send her to school."

Zhu Lili's heart tightened. These girls already had a deep hatred for Liu Jing. She continued to guide the topic, making the four girls more and more excited.

"Do you think Liu Jing, who is so popular with teachers, will have any privileges in school?" Zhu Lili asked tentatively.

"Privileges? Of course!" The short-haired girl widened her eyes and said, "I heard that she often borrows books from the teacher, and the teacher even tutors her in person. We have never enjoyed such treatment."

The long-haired girl also said angrily: "That's right, why does she deserve this kind of treatment? Her family is so poor, why should the teacher be so nice to her?"

In the hazy moonlit night, the lights in the dormitory looked unusually pale. As the four girls' complaints and jealousy towards Liu Jing gradually intensified, their emotions became more and more agitated. The short-haired ghost girl's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction, and her hands clenched into fists, as if she wanted to vent all the resentment in her heart.

"No, we can't just let it go!" She stood up suddenly, her voice sharp and piercing, "Tomorrow, we're going to teach her a lesson!"

The girl with long hair also agreed: "Yes, we must let her know that this is not the place where she can have the final say!" There was a vicious light in her eyes, as if she had seen Liu Jing struggling in their hands.

Although the other two girls did not speak, their expressions also showed their hostility towards Liu Jing. Zhu Lili and Chi Meng sat aside, listening to their conversation, and a chill surged in their hearts. The evil of human nature was fully reflected here.

"We have to think of a way to punish her." The short-haired girl continued, "We can tear up all her homework so that she won't be able to hand it in tomorrow!" Her tone was full of pleasure, as if she had already seen Liu Jing's helpless look in front of the teacher.

"That's not enough!" The long-haired girl shook her head, "We can also put glue on her stool so that she can't get up." Her eyes were shining with excitement, as if she couldn't wait to see Liu Jing make a fool of herself.
