The homeroom teacher frowned. “Ms. Watson. You don’t understand. Lily is different…”
“In my eyes, every student is equal. I don’t judge students, and I don’t care if they come from rich or poor families. I’m only concerned about their grades.” The bell rang. Ms. Watson took her textbook and stomped out of the office.
The homeroom teacher was speechless. Ms. Watson was biased against students with low grades. How could she say all students were equal in her eyes?
“I’m going to get into trouble sooner or later!” exclaimed the teacher who walked into the office just now. She was worried.
“Don’t worry. Go back to class and see if Lily has come back. I’ll go around the campus to look for her,” the homeroom teacher suggested.
Ms. Watson, on the other hand, was not bothered at all. She was only concerned about her student’s grades. Most of the students in her class scored 96 marks and above. However, only students who scored full marks were outstanding students in her eyes.
Some parents complained that Ms. Watson was too aggressive as she always gave students extra homework. However, it seemed that her students had relatively higher grades than the other classes. For that reason, nobody dared to complain again.
Lily was so full that she could not help but burp.
Hearing that, Josh was dumbfounded. “Are you full now? So, stop following me tomorrow, okay?”
“I’m not here to eat,” Lily replied.
“Huh? So why did you keep following me then?” Josh asked, confused.
“To catch ghost spirits!” Lily exclaimed.
Hearing that, Josh was stupefied. Suddenly, he remembered the ugly female spirit he saw at the toilet yesterday.
“What? What did you say?” asked Josh. He could not help blinking his eyes.
“Are you scared, Josh?” Lily teased.
“No… I’m not scared. I’m not scared at all. I’m just curious about what you said just now… About ghost spirits…”
Hearing that, Lily chuckled. She then moved closer to Josh and whispered in his ear, “I’m here to catch the malignant spirit. She’s sprawling on Cheryl’s head and sucking aura from her neck. It’s like how one slurps a milkshake.”
Straight away, Josh imagined how one slurped a milkshake and could not help but tremble.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew over and Josh could not help shivering. He quickly covered his neck nervously.
“Can the malignant spirits come out in broad daylight?”
Lily nodded. “Yeah… Actually, there are three kinds of ghost spirits in the world. The first kinds are like the ugly female spirit that you saw yesterday. They are known as the wandering spirits. These kinds of spirits die of unnatural causes. They couldn’t reincarnate and keep wandering here and there…”
Josh’s face turned pale as soon as he heard that. He recalled the female spirit yesterday who almost gave him a fright.
Lilly continued, “The second kinds are the resentful spirits. They died tragically. They will appear out of nowhere and scare the hell out of you. The third kind are the malignant spirits. They are very fierce. They eat people. Wandering spirits and resentful spirits can’t come out during the daytime. But malignant spirits can! They are very ferocious.”
Hearing that, Josh was rendered speechless. He quickly covered Lily’s mouth with his hand to stop her from talking.
“Okay, I’ve heard enough. Stop talking now.”
Lily could not help but mumble. She wanted to continue…
Josh looked up at the sky and saw the blazing hot sun.
There can’t be any ghost spirits wandering in such broad daylight!
