Chapter 168: Chapter 168: The Succession of Educational Philosophy

Zhang Guanxing had regained the memories from the time of his death, merged with some resentment, and most importantly, he hadn’t lost his reasoning.

At this moment, Han Fei had reached his limit. He let go of his hand, and his body uncontrollably fell backwards, thankfully cushioned by the Black Giant Python that emerged from beneath the Ghost Pattern.

His limbs couldn’t stop trembling, his heartbeat was slowing down, and the influx of Dark Energy had caused severe damage to Han Fei, nearly freezing his blood and rendering his skin frighteningly cold.

"Physical Strength is still too low."

Lying on the dormitory bed, Han Fei found it very hard to even move.

This was his first direct combat with Grudge, and the outcome was quite brutal. If it weren’t for relying on the Blood-colored Paperman to deliver the final blow, he would have stood no chance, even if he had risked his life.

"Once Dark Energy enters my body, I can probably hold on for about one hundred seconds. During this period, I can withstand some of the attacks of the Grudge, and my physical condition will also improve. This ability is actually better suited for escaping."

With Ghost Pattern faintly visible on his body, the injured Han Fei lay on the bed, his face fierce, but his mind was planning how to escape more effectively.

Half an hour finally passed, and Han Fei received a system prompt.

"Player 0000, please be aware! You have successfully completed the Grade G hidden mission––Facing Away from You."

"You have earned a basic mission reward of one Skill Point and Zhang Guanxing’s friendliness has increased by twenty."

"As the mission completion exceeded one hundred percent, a double experience reward is added, along with an extra reward for the hidden mission––Solid Back."

"Solid Back (Exclusive Passive Ability, cannot be upgraded with Skill Points): Enhances back defense, reducing damage from Curse and Grudge attacks on the back."

"You have successfully challenged kaidans in three schools, and the completion of Yimin Academy’s Grade F hidden kaidan, "Jin Sheng’s Academy Kaidan," has reached three sevenths."

Having completed a mission with all his strength, Han Fei’s hanging heart also gradually relaxed. Now, as long as he can hold on for three hours, he can exit the game.

Zhang Guanxing remained worriedly beside the bed, unsure of what to do. Towards Han Fei, his heart was filled with gratitude, but also some guilt.

Those who had hurt him were still at large, while those who had helped him had been accidentally injured.

"Teacher, how about I make a trip to the school clinic to see if I can find any bandages or medicine?"

"No need, just stay put in this dorm room and don’t wander around," Han Fei managed a feeble smile: "I’ve lost my combat ability, and it’s extremely dangerous inside this building. It’s best if we don’t separate carelessly."

"But what about the injuries on your body..."

"Don’t worry about me, go check if the Wish Jar is alright," Han Fei looked at the black jar with a hint of apology in his eyes.

"It has several more cracks, but it should not break for now, after all, it’s also considered a long-circulating Curse in this school." Having fully recalled his past memories, Zhang Guanxing had become very mature and very reliable.

"Grade G Curse Items are filled with malevolent thoughts and various negative emotions from many people. You can say they are produced by human malice. Even if they are damaged, as long as they can continuously absorb malice, they can recover," Zhang Guanxing secured the lid on the black jar and placed it beside Han Fei’s bed: "However, this is the first time I’ve seen someone use a Curse Item like this."

Zhang Guanxing recalled the scene of Han Fei slamming the black jar down on "his own" head, and he felt that Han Fei indeed was a very special person.

"I lack a handy weapon. I initially wanted to smash this jar and use the Curse-infused fragments as knives, but it turned out to be quite sturdy." Han Fei, straining, raised his arm and gently touched the black jar, still unable to add it to his Item Bar: "It seems it still does not regard me as its owner, so later on, don’t blame me if I’m ruthless."

Zhang Guanxing didn’t know why Han Fei was so intent on challenging the black jar, guessing that Han Fei might have suffered a big loss inside it previously, and that’s why he targeted the black jar so specifically.

"Guanxing, go close the doors and windows. I have some more things to ask you." Han Fei thought for a while before speaking, "Have you ever seen an old man at the school before? He has a teacher’s ID just like mine and also used to work at this school."

"An old man?"

"That old gentleman had a friendly and kind face, always carrying a smile to everyone he saw."

"Are you talking about Teacher Fu?" Zhang Guanxing sat by the bed, his emotions showing a slight ripple as if he was somewhat afraid, "Among the school’s teachers, he was the oldest, looking over sixty. He was kind to every student, but unfortunately, he later disappeared."

"Fu Sheng? Fu Sheng?" Han Fei narrowed his eyes; now he finally knew the name of the previous building chief, even though it might be a pseudonym, "I was neighbors with Teacher Fu. The main reason I came here was to find him."

"You came to find Teacher Fu?" Zhang Guanxing shook his head, "I also don’t know where he went."

"Can you tell me what your impression of him is? Did he do anything to you?" Han Fei was curious about this point.

Zhang Guanxing’s expression changed as he recalled the memories of his death, his eyes filled with fear, "To some extent, Teacher Fu was very much like you. Initially, when I couldn’t control myself, he ’kindly’ helped me gain control."

"What kind of control?"

"He beat me close to soul scattering, then painfully ripped out the memories filled with hatred and resentment. The most terrifying part was..." Zhang Guanxing grimaced, "when I woke up again, the memories about death had been stripped away, and I even forgot that I had been beaten to near soul scattering. When I saw him again, I just thought he looked kindly and felt he was very nice."

The previous building chief had chosen to destroy the Deep World, so his teaching method was rather harsh, which Han Fei could understand.

Teacher Fu’s idea was quite simple: to destroy the despair and terrible things, leaving just the remaining bit of humanity was enough.

His method of dealing with the fierce ghosts was a bit like the early Western doctors who would perform surgery directly to remove diseased parts, whereas Han Fei’s approach was more like a combination of Chinese and Western methods, treating both internally and externally.

"Is this all you remember about that teacher? Did he do some odd things in the school?" Han Fei’s teacher ID was left by the previous building chief, and when he used it to enter the school, he was sent directly to the dormitory building.

The previous building chief wouldn’t have done pointless work, meaning there must be something necessary for Han Fei inside the dormitory building.

In such a situation, Han Fei met Zhang Guanxing. There were many students at Yimin Private Academy, but it seemed like only Zhang Guanxing had been tampered with by the previous building chief, so he vaguely felt that the previous building chief must have meant for him to meet Zhang Guanxing.

One step leading to another, it was both a test and an opportunity.

"He was just a kind old man who was nice to everyone and never argued with anyone. The students all liked him too... Oh, right, there was a kid who seemed very scared of him."

"Who?"

"That boy is from the first year, class one, his name is Jin Sheng."

"Do you know his whereabouts right now?" Han Fei felt the main mission of Yimin Private Academy was about to surface.

"I remember when Teacher Fu was ’educating’ me, he locked all the resentment and memories of death he stripped from me into a cabinet under a podium on the fourth floor of the teaching building. I’m not sure how much time has passed, but Jin Sheng opened the cabinet, releasing my resentment and then he crawled into the cabinet himself."

Zhang Guanxing, who had absorbed the resentment and regained his lost memories, provided Han Fei with a crucial clue.

After learning the detailed hiding spot of Jin Sheng, Han Fei instructed Zhang Guanxing to never reveal Jin Sheng’s location to anyone else, as there were many "things" in the school still searching for Jin Sheng.
