Chapter 180: Chapter 162: The Terrifying Atmosphere Disappears in an Instant!

Ji Xizhi looked at Qiu Lin in this state, and hesitantly said, “How about we go down one more floor?”

Qiu Lin quickly waved her hand, “Let’s forget that. Let’s quickly look around on this floor! If there’s no one here, we leave!”

She was a veteran guest on “Escape Room,” and now she was even more frightened than Ji Xizhi, who had only participated as a guest for one episode. What was that about?!

Qiu Lin absolutely refused to back down.

Of course, there was also a small part of her that feared the next floor might be even scarier!

Qiu Lin held onto Ji Xizhi’s hand tightly as the two of them walked side by side down the corridor.

The environment on this floor was a different color from the next floor, but the architectural setup was the same. The corridor stairs here were the teachers’ offices, and further up were several classrooms.

The two of them walked side by side to the middle of the corridor, starting to search from the classroom by the stairway. The further they walked into the corridor, the faint sounds they heard by the stairway faded away, becoming unclear.

Ji Xizhi and Qiu Lin searched two small classrooms and found no one. They were about to head to the third classroom to look.

As they approached, they noticed that the windows of the third classroom were completely covered by curtains, making it impossible to see inside from outside. Ji Xizhi and Qiu Lin had to check from the door to see if there was anyone inside.

But before they reached the door,

Suddenly, the tightly closed door was yanked open, and out rushed a pale-faced teacher in a long robe, with his hair loose. The teacher held a ruler in his hand and had a sinister and terrifying expression. He pointed at Ji Xizhi and Qiu Lin, saying,

“Why are you skipping class? It’s already time for class, don’t you know?”

The long-robed teacher spoke in a deep voice, and as he rushed out, a chill clung to him. His movements were stiff, and his gait was more like he was floating over.

Qiu Lin screamed in fright right on the spot.

“Ah——————”

After screaming, she leaped onto Ji Xizhi in a bear hug.

No longer caring about the face of a regular guest versus a flying guest, Ji Xizhi was more important than face!

The fans watching the live broadcast were equally terrified.

Just a moment ago at the stairway, everyone was already tense with nervous anticipation. As Ji Xizhi and Qiu Lin searched two classrooms without incident, the audience relaxed.

Just at this moment of relaxation, the program’s NPCs delivered a shock, making several viewers’ hearts skip a beat.

[Oh my God!!! It suddenly appeared in the camera and zoomed in on the head, my phone flew out of my hand. I can only say that the Escape Room’s PD has a skill in following the shot, so can you compensate me for my phone?]

[That makeup, it really scared me, at first I thought it was a zombie…]

[This is such BS, the program team did it on purpose. They checked two rooms just now and nothing happened, I thought this floor was safe, but then this jumps out, and half of my soul flew away! Director Xu, how are you going to compensate me!]

Only Ji Xizhi remained somewhat calm on the scene.

With one hand protecting Qiu Lin, Ji Xizhi looked up and down at the long-robed teacher in front of her, but before she could speak,

The curtains on the left side of the classroom window suddenly moved.

With the sound of a rolling bead curtain being pulled, a few lines of what sounded like children’s songs came through clearly.

“The heavy door will keep them here forever, no learning, no classes…”

The sound of the song became clearer as the curtain was rolled up.

What was once an unseen classroom became visible the moment the curtain went up.

Inside was just a regular classroom, with no one inside, but the singing voice was approaching.

Even the fans in the live broadcast room felt it.

[There aren’t any students in there, what kind of class is this?]

[No students, but there’s singing… This doesn’t sound like a recording, how creepy! Waaa I hate how fast and advanced live broadcasting equipment has become!]

[…It’s terrifying to think deeply about it, sisters protect me!]

Qiu Lin was so scared her legs started shaking, but as an old guest of the program, her curiosity about the various stages of Escape Room couldn’t be contained. She glanced up at the window.

Just one glance, and she was petrified into silence.

At the same moment the fans and Qiu Lin were curious, a row of heads suddenly peeked out from the window ledge of the empty classroom. They bared their teeth with mouths painted bright red, seven or eight heads staring through the glass window, listening intently to Ji Xizhi and Qiu Lin, asking:

“Why aren’t you in class, why aren’t you studying, is it because… you don’t like it?”

[Ahhhhh! I’m going crazy with fear, I am most afraid of this kind of little ghost! Bullet-screen, Bullet-screen, save me quickly, cover it up! I can’t, I’m pulling out for now!]

Qiu Lin was full of thoughts about running, running fast, but her legs were so weak she couldn’t move a step.

“Zhi Zhi, run, quickly…”

But before the word ’run’ could come out,

Ji Xizhi spoke.

However, the words weren’t directed at Qiu Lin, but to the students asking questions inside the window.

“I do like it, but I’m the class teacher from the upstairs class, I don’t teach on your floor.”

The student in disguise: “?”

Qiu Lin: “??”

The NPC teacher beside who hadn’t gotten the chance to speak his line yet: “???” What did she say?

Class teacher? Where did she come from?! This wasn’t in Director Xu’s script! Weren’t guests default as students?

[Hahahahahaha those friends who just ran off in fear, come back hahahaha I’m dying of laughter in Ji Xizhi’s arms!]

[Ji*Class Teacher*Xizhi is online, if Director Xu didn’t give me a character, I’ll add it myself!]

[I saw the NPC totally confused, the NPC slaps the script on Director Xu’s face, “You changed the script without informing me?!”]

The live broadcast room’s scary atmosphere instantly vanished, the screen was filled with hahaha.

Everyone in front of the classroom door was already stunned.

Ji Xizhi, with a calm expression, was very precise with the character she set for herself. The script didn’t provide a character, but since the location was an office, it was a reasonable deduction that she was a class teacher, very reasonable.

After Ji Xizhi finished her improvisation, she took another look at the students leaning on the windowsill, roughly surveying the inside, and confirming that there were no other guests. She and Qiu Lin didn’t need to search inside further, they could just move on to the next classroom.

As she was about to leave with Qiu Lin, she turned back and saw the students still leaning on the windowsill, and kindly reminded them,

“During class, why have you left your seats?”

The student NPCs: “!” That seemed like their line!

Seeing no response from the students inside, Ji Xizhi calmly reminded the long-robed teacher, “Teacher, you’ve already wasted one minute, in a class of forty-five people, that’s forty-five minutes lost, you’ve wasted one class, cherish your time.”

Wasting study time is unacceptable!

The long-robed teacher was left dumbfounded by Ji Xizhi’s teaching, his face twisted, the white makeup on his face coming off significantly, he gritted his teeth and questioned with a soulful inquiry: “How can you possibly be the class teacher, what evidence do you have?”

Ji Xizhi smiled slightly, “Then you’re what, the class teacher? What evidence do you have? What right do you have to catch me?”

The long-robed teacher: “?”

This wasn’t in the script!

“I… I’m teaching class, can’t you see? I’m the English teacher for this class! That’s enough to prove my identity!”

Ji Xizhi nodded, and coincidentally the curtain was pulled up. She peeked in through the window and glanced at the blackboard, and there indeed was a question.

An English original translation question.

Ji Xizhi said: “What a coincidence, I know this question. It’s a passage from a collection of Shakespeare stories, mainly discussing…”

After a glance, she translated the English original on the blackboard.

After translating, she added, “Do I need to analyze the sentence structure as well?”

After asking, she glanced in the direction of the students inside the window.

The student NPCs: “…” Silently pulled down the curtain.

The long-robed teacher: “…”

Qiu Lin: “…”

Live broadcast fans: “…”

[Don’t mess with a genius student, the consequences are dire!]

[Analyze! Let her analyze it! I’m begging you, I really want to learn! Ji Xizhi scored so high in her English exams, teach me!]

[Let her be the class teacher! Ha ha ha!]

The script in the long-robed teacher’s hand had completely fallen apart. He gave up on the argument and looked at Ji Xizhi, and with a smile, asked, “Class teacher, you must teach English?”

Ji Xizhi shook her head briskly, “No, I teach moral philosophy.”

The fans in the live broadcast room: “………”

[Do not mess with a student lord, the consequences could be catastrophic!]

[Please, let her be the class teacher! Haha!]

The long-robed teacher gave up struggling entirely, and after surrendering, he looked at Ji Xizhi and asked with a smile, “You must be the English teacher, right?!”

Ji Xizhi quickly shook her head, “No, I’m the moral philosophy teacher!”
