Dressed as an abandoned daughter of a wealthy family, she relies on metaphysics to become a god
Chapter 1124: Misfortune
Suddenly, Xiao Mo felt his arm being poked, and then a piece of paper was handed to him from the side.
"Do you know which teacher owns the desk near the door?"
Xiao Mo did not answer him immediately, but hesitated for a while before writing four words on the paper.
"What's wrong?"
He Kaiyan replied: "I am a little curious, her desk seems to be unused, but there are still some things on the desk."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Mo's reply left him confused. He wrote: "Um... do you believe in metaphysics?"
Can a table be related to metaphysics?
He Kaiyan chose a relatively conservative answer, "I'm half-believing and half-doubting."
After seeing the reply on the paper, Xiao Mo began to write swiftly. He wrote for at least ten minutes, and most of the paper was almost filled with his flamboyant handwriting.
"Then let me tell you, don't be afraid. A female teacher who taught us English used to sit at that table. Later, many strange things happened to her..."
About two months ago, misfortune befell her.
Their class was halfway through their English class when suddenly, the school guard rushed in and pulled the English teacher out.
The students didn't know what was going on. They could only hear the English teacher outside the door shouting and crying, and then the sound of her running in high heels.
In the following days, English classes were taught by another teacher.
Everyone started discussing it in the class group. The chat was very lively and everyone was speculating.
Until a week later, an anonymous person suddenly said, "I know about the English teacher. Do you want to hear it?"
Xiao Mo was also a little curious, but he still felt that it was inappropriate to pry into other people's privacy like this.
However, the anonymous classmate posted the incident directly in the group, and he also read it.
That day, the English teacher was called away because one of her relatives was getting married and the hotel's food was not handled properly, causing everyone attending the wedding banquet to suffer from food poisoning.
Among them were the English teacher’s parents. Both of them were elderly and their symptoms were the most serious.
She took care of the patient in the hospital without sleep for three days and two nights, but no miracle happened.
To make matters worse, her husband had no sympathy for her. Instead, he forced her to go through the divorce procedures while she was preparing for her funeral, fearing that she would implicate him.
In just a few days, she seemed to have lost everything she once had.
He Kaiyan frowned and asked again: "Then, did she resign?"
"Not at first, but later on..."
Xiao Mo wrote another long paragraph. He Kaiyan glanced at it and roughly said that bad luck seemed to be contagious since the English teacher returned to school.
The teachers who worked in the same office with her had accidents one after another, either breaking their legs or losing their cell phones.
There was even a teacher in the same teaching group as her who had an asthma attack the very next second after he finished talking to her.
The English teacher took out her medicine, but found that the lid was stuck and could not be opened.
If the ambulance hadn't arrived in time, the teacher would have almost lost his life.
Even the students she taught were not spared from this bad fate.
First, the class that He Kaiyan and Xiao Mo were in was infected with chickenpox, which spread extremely quickly, and almost half of the class was forced to take a break from school for a period of time.
The class next door was even more unlucky. The wall paint on the ceiling fell down inexplicably, injuring the students sitting below.
The whole school is saying that the English teacher is unlucky and will pass the bad luck on to those around him.
Although this sounds ridiculous, the loving parents could not help but jointly protest and demanded the dismissal of this "ominous" English teacher.
Naturally, the principal did not agree to their request, but he did suspend the English teacher with pay.
To put it nicely, it was to let her have a good rest and change her mood;
To put it bluntly, the principal would rather pay her a salary than let her come to the school to teach.
The English teacher was a very strong-willed person. She was unwilling to accept charity from the principal and took the initiative to resign.
The strange thing is that after she left, some of the miscellaneous items left in the school seemed to be tainted with a bad curse.
Any student who touches her things might encounter some strange things.
For example, the homework or test papers you handed in disappeared, or you sprained your ankle or broke the skin during physical education class.
After a long time, her stuff was just thrown on the desk and no one dared to touch it.
Even in the office where she worked, almost all the teachers had moved out, leaving only the daring teacher Bao.
At this moment, the bell for the end of get out of class rang suddenly.
Xiao Mo simply tidied up the things on the table and said to He Kaiyan, "Let's go, I'll take you to the cafeteria."
Unlike He Kaiyan’s previous school, this school adopts a boarding system, and students have to stay in school except for the monthly vacation.
He Kaiyan tore the paper into pieces and threw them into the trash can.
Xiao Mo leaned close to his ear and said mysteriously, "By the way, I heard that... that English teacher had a miserable life after leaving school."
"Really?" He Kaiyan asked.
"I heard about it too. It seems that she tried to commit suicide several times but failed... She also drank pesticides, but was sent to the hospital and saved." Xiao Mo whispered.
He Kaiyan frowned and thought carefully. He has been in this world for almost two months.
The first time misfortune befell the English teacher was on the day when she fell from a building.
Is this really just a coincidence?
Xiao Mo said to himself, "Don't you think it's strange that such a good person suddenly encountered so many bad things, one after another. But, she always scolded students before, maybe it's a kind of retribution."
Hearing the word "retribution", He Kaiyan suddenly shuddered.
Yes, it’s retribution. Her previous behavior also seemed like retribution.
Because the English teacher deliberately targeted Xiao Mo and injured him, she suffered retribution.
He Kaiyan seemed to have thought of something. He walked to the front of Xiao Mo and asked very seriously, "How does your English teacher treat you?"
"What?" Xiao Mo seemed to have not expected him to ask this question.
But He Kaiyan still repeated it word for word and said, "I say, has she ever bullied you before?"
"Well... no, although she scolded the whole class, it shouldn't be considered bullying me, right?" Xiao Mo smiled, "What's wrong? Why are you so nervous all of a sudden? Are you going to stand up for me?"
He didn't look like he was lying, so He Kaiyan could only shake his head and said, "No, nothing... I might have thought about something else."
However, Xiao Mo suddenly asked excitedly: "Wait, you thought of that too!"
"That? Which one?" He Kaiyan was stunned.
Xiao Mo didn't say it clearly, "There are too many people here, it's not convenient. Let's go to the cafeteria later, pack the food, and I'll tell you when I get back to the dormitory!"
His face turned red and his pace involuntarily quickened, almost to a jog.
There are not many dishes in the cafeteria, with less than ten kinds of meat and vegetables combined, and each dish looks extremely greasy, which makes people lose their appetite.
He Kaiyan randomly ordered two meat dishes and one vegetarian dish. The portions were pitifully small, but the prices were not cheap at all.
Fortunately, Uncle Liu topped up two thousand yuan into his card at one time, which was almost enough to cover his food for a month.
He carried the packing box and followed Xiao Mo, and they both came to the dormitory.
"You are lucky. There are only two of us in this dormitory now." Xiao Mo joked.
When he pushed open the door, what came into view was a relatively clean four-person room. The daily necessities assigned to He Kaiyan by the school had already been placed on his bed.
In addition to the four-piece suits and toiletries, there are six neatly folded sets of school uniforms.
"What were you about to say?" He Kaiyan turned around and asked.
"Don't you think the English teacher..." Xiao Mo pursed his lips, "is even more cursed?"
"curse?"
Xiao Mo nodded seriously and said, "Yes, if you are cursed, you will always be unlucky. But who would curse her? There are many students who hate her, but students shouldn't be able to do that kind of thing..."
"I'm not sure about that." He Kaiyan sat back in his seat.
If she was really cursed by someone, He Kaiyan had a candidate in mind - the original Xiao Mo.
However, even if Xiao Mo really knew how to curse, how could his ability break through the boundary between the two worlds?
He Kaiyan studied with Uncle Liu for a period of time and gained a general understanding of metaphysics.
For example, simply cursing someone is not difficult, and even ordinary people can do it.
But human beings’ abilities are not enough to compete with the world. It’s like a solid steel wall has been erected between multiple parallel worlds, and humans are like ants.
Of course, Uncle Liu also gave a few examples. When certain conditions are met, one will travel to another world like He Kaiyan.
This crossing is completely random and non-directional, and can also be called an accident.
However, whether He Kaiyan wants to return to his original world, or the original Xiao Mo wants to curse the English teacher in other worlds, the possibility is basically zero.
"Human lifespan is still too short. Even if one practices for decades or a hundred years, one cannot break through the boundaries of the world." Uncle Liu once said, "Unless, one day, the human lifespan breaks through to 200, 300, or even 1,000 years... then it will be possible to travel freely in various worlds."
Before he knew it, the food in He Kaiyan's bowl was gone.
"Hey, do you believe in metaphysics?"
Xiao Mo's voice interrupted his thoughts. This was the second time he asked this question.
He Kaiyan felt that Xiao Mo seemed to want to tell him something important, but Xiao Mo didn't trust him yet.
Thinking of the all-important diamond necklace, He Kaiyan thought for a moment and said bluntly: "I have an uncle who is a Feng Shui master. Do you think I believe in metaphysics?"
"Really?" Xiao Mo examined He Kaiyan's expression, "You are not lying to me, are you?"
Words are not enough, so He Kaiyan directly took out a small gadget given to him by Uncle Liu and handed it to Xiao Mo.
The thing was very light, like a paper crane made of pure wood. Even without electricity, its wings could flap slightly.
Xiao Mo played with it for a while and found that there were eight round beads around the paper crane. As long as he touched its neck, it would pick up two round beads.
Correspondingly, two corresponding figures will appear on the wings of the paper cranes, consisting of three line segments, some of which are long and some are short.
If you are an ordinary middle school student, you may not know the specific meaning of these line segments.
But Xiao Mo is an absolute fan of metaphysics. He could see at a glance that the two figures formed a hexagram.
In other words, this exquisite paper crane is actually a small gadget used for fortune-telling.
"How about it, do you believe it?" He Kaiyan asked.
Xiao Mo nodded, holding the paper cranes in both hands, and returned it to He Kaiyan.
His expression suddenly became serious. After He Kaiyan put away the paper cranes, he pulled He Kaiyan and walked to his table.
Xiao Mo took out a small key from his pocket, opened the second drawer in the middle, and took out a rusty iron box.
"My secrets are kept in here, open it and take a look." Xiao Mo said in a low voice.
He Kaiyan also became nervous. The box was not very big, but it was heavy and seemed quite substantial.
The box was not locked, and he gently lifted the lid and it opened.
He Kaiyan's pupils suddenly shrank a little. The things that were filled to the brim were actually diamonds that could be used to make wishes!
"This... this is..." He Kaiyan's hands began to tremble, and he almost couldn't hold the box firmly.
Xiao Mo quickly helped him hold up the bottom of the box and whispered, "Your uncle is a Feng Shui master, so has he ever told you about time travel?"
"Crossing?"
He Kaiyan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Xiao Mo, like him, had also traveled through time from another place?
But he was obviously not the Xiao Mo that he knew. Even if he wanted to pretend, he couldn't.
He Kaiyan turned his head and asked in a trembling voice: "Did you travel through time?"
"It's not me." Xiao Mo shook his head, "It's... I suspect that my mother traveled through time."
Xiao Mo started to doubt this matter since he was very young.
Perhaps because his mother is not an ordinary person, Xiao Mo is more precocious than other children. His memory can even be traced back to when he was two years old.
In his memory, his mother suddenly became sickly when he was five years old.
She had no obvious illness, but her whole body was unusually pale, even her palms were bloodless and incredibly cold.
She seldom went out. Even once when her neighbor's house caught fire, she only urged Xiao Mo to go out to avoid the disaster, while she herself sat motionless in a chair by the window.
But Xiao Mo can be sure that there is nothing wrong with his mother's legs and feet.
After getting up every day, she would first water the potted plants on the windowsill, then make herself a pot of jasmine tea, and then sit in the chair.
When she finishes the pot of scented tea and the sun sets, she will return to her bedroom again.
But Xiao Mo had no idea what his mother was doing in the bedroom.
