Chapter 26: Tragic career and death of high school students
In the ghost world, after Klaus left, Shuke and the four of them stayed in the cabin until daybreak before they dared to leave.
Returning to his own town, he told the bad news to Parker and Mary Jane's family. Their children in high school were gone, and both families burst into tears. Parker's uncle, because he had no children, always regarded Parker as his
Looking at his biological son, he already had a bad heart. When he heard such bad news, he couldn't accept it for a while and suffered a heart attack.
"Well!"
He couldn't breathe and died, which was nothing less than worse for the already grieving family. After the police found the bodies of Parker and Mary Jane from the forest. Looking at the unrecognizable bodies of their friends yesterday, the four of Beta and Shuke
I vomited everything and was so frightened that I didn't even eat at noon.
Because it involves ghosts, the police did not investigate further, so they just treated it as a relief for the world. You must know that the family planning policy in this world is very strict, and dead people are a good thing for strangers. If there are vacancies in the population, the higher authorities will issue quotas and maintain the population base, and others will have a chance.
.
Because considering the balance between men and women, the ghost world is monogamous, so the six people on the previous expedition were all three pairs.
If the population is redundant, then extra men will be put to death if they are crippled, sick, or ugly.
For excess women, if the royal family wishes, the king can select the beautiful ones and confiscate them as excess. Only the kings of three countries have this privilege.
Sorry, if you don't have a companion and are just within the redundant range, then if you don't want to die, you can only become a witch or wizard, so that you can have immunity and escape death.
Therefore, witches and wizards have a supply of fresh blood and there is no gap. Only witches and wizards can deal with ghosts and exert restraint on ghosts. Otherwise, ghosts who are about to die will easily develop acts of revenge against society under the pressure of their hearts.
Witches and wizards are very extreme because of the unfair treatment of society and long-term dealing with grievances, so they all live alone. They generally live on the edge of towns and rely on protecting the town from ghosts.
And do spiritual things and earn income.
Of course, witches and wizards can also marry each other or ordinary people. In fact, the country also supports it. Wizards have inheritance, which is also of great benefit to local security, development, and stability. However, most witches and wizards are single.
Dogs, one reason is that they are homebodies, and the other reason is just like I hate myself. What they long for is love and light, because their lives are very incomplete.
Witches and wizards will be treated differently by people when they walk on the street. Because of their resentment, they all have a cold aura about them. Resentment infects the soul and body, causing each of them to have a flammable temper.
Explosion, a bit extreme paranoia.
So people avoid them, and humans are social animals. They have been treated differently by their own kind for a long time. Even witches and wizards are not immune to being familiar with them. In this way, their tempers will become worse and worse, and their temper will become worse and worse.
They get weirder and weirder. And the more they act like this, the less ordinary people dare to approach them. If things go on like this, it will be an endless cycle. Maybe death is a relief for them, but ants can still survive, let alone humans. They become witches
And wizards, just to stay alive.
Beta and Shuke, the six of them, were seeking death and became curious about the lonely witch in the town, so they sneaked into her home.
As a result, the witch was killed, and then the witch took revenge and killed Parker and Mary Jane. If Klaus hadn't appeared, they would have been wiped out.
In fact, witches are quite unfair. Witches and wizards are a miserable profession.
But no one cares whether you are sad or not. This is how this deformed society is. In the afternoon, Beta, Shuke, Mary and Jane were frightened by the remains of their dead companions. They lost their appetite and gathered together sadly in a daze without any regrets.
I didn't think about the cause and effect of the matter at all.
Because they often hear incidents of ghosts hurting people in the news, or have encountered them around them. After living in such an environment for a long time, their mental state is like the eternal gray sky above. It is not that they are cold-blooded, but that there are more monsters than others. Although the death of their companions
It's sad, but they can still accept it, but their families can't accept it.
In the past, as a bystander, I was numb and unconscious, but now that it has completely happened to me, I am scared.
But they couldn't stay in a daze like this. Shuke touched the amulet around his neck, and Jane touched the ring on her hand. They had to do what they had to do.
It was a friend's funeral in the morning, so it couldn't be separated. There was also police investigation and evidence collection, but in the face of inquiries from the police and family members, they concealed Klaus's existence.
After all, it's their little secret, ten years of life, don't question people's hearts.
Jane: "Count Claus wants books that record the knowledge of our world, but what kind of books should he give him?"
Beta: "As for knowledge, isn't it our class textbook? It's also very systematic and step-by-step, so I'm not afraid that the earl won't be able to learn it."
Shuke: "Yes, we will give our textbook to the Earl, and the Earl has Mary's memory, so we are not afraid that he will not be able to learn it."
Mary: "Although the Earl has my memory, I have read those textbooks. He must also know that he has to get some that I haven't read."
Shuke: "It's better to get a complete set for the Earl! But in that case, you have to go to the library to buy it, which requires a lot of money. How much money do you have?"
The four friends spent their living expenses for this month. It wasn't a lot, but it should be enough to buy textbooks.
Just like that, they went to the town library.
Arriving at the library, the four people came to the library administrator.
Mary asked cutely: "Uncle, the college entrance examination is coming soon. We want to review, but we have lost our previous textbooks. Where can we find our textbooks?"
The administrator looked at the blond beauty in front of him, who was very eye-catching, and said patiently: "All the teaching materials are in the second row on the left, to the east of the third shelf."
Mary?(?^o^?)?:"Thank you, uncle!"
Then the four young people went to find the books they were looking for. When they came back, one of them held a pile of books and placed them in front of the administrator.
Mary: "Uncle, how much do these cost in total?"
The administrator looked at the book and said a little speechlessly: "The review in high school should start from a (a) b (wave) c (eat) d (de)? (~_~;)"
The four of them were a little embarrassed. Mary explained: "Reviewing, of course you have to review more solidly!"
In the end, the administrator became a ruthless money counting machine, emptying their pockets of pocket money.
They chose Shuke's house as their base because there was an attic upstairs in his house where the sundries were stored in a hidden place, and his parents didn't go there often.
In this way, the four people moved the textbooks to the attic of Shuke's house while avoiding Shuke's parents. There were piles of brand-new textbooks. Looking at these textbooks, the four people's hearts were bleeding. This was all money, it seemed.
They can only eat dirt this month.
Because they were walking in a hurry along the way, the four of them were afraid of being seen and questioned by acquaintances, so they did not take a closer look at the pile of books held by the other party. They only knew who bought the textbooks for which grade. Now that they looked carefully, they looked at the pile of books that Beta had put down.
The other three people were speechless for a while as they stacked books with something sandwiched between them.
Beta explained awkwardly: "I'm not afraid that Lord Earl can't understand the book, so I bought him some worksheets and exercise books!"
"..."
"My Lord Earl will definitely be very grateful to you."
