After the president became depressed, he was taught by the mirror ghost to fall in love!

Jun Li was stunned for a moment and then leaned closer and frowned: "No...what? What do you mean by pretend he doesn't exist?"

"Jun Li, none of them know who the extra person is, right? The true identity of this person is unknown, but the curse doesn't care about that. Since everyone has noticed that there is one more person, the curse will be activated!"

Bai Ze tapped the blackboard in a very serious tone: "Once it starts, people will start dying. So what if we just find someone to prove that he is the redundant one?"

"We all isolated him and treated him as if he didn't exist. Students, teachers, and even the roll call list didn't acknowledge that he existed in the class. So do you think this person exists or not?"

These few words fired up Jun's CPU. Bai Ze didn't care whether his mentally ill partner understood or not, but just continued to instill inferences into him.

"Why did we think Ye Ning didn't exist? Because her name wasn't on the roster at the time, not even the same pronunciation. Plus, the teachers and students ignored it, which led to the so-called deceased in 1998 also being named 'Ye Ning'."

"Although we don't know which two characters they are, whether the other person is a female, whether they are just the same name or just pronounced the same, all of these are trying to make us believe one thing at the same time - 'Ye Ning does not exist'!"

"But this creates a paradox. We agreed that we didn't know who the extra person was, so how come you all know everything now?"

Bai Ze frowned and said coldly, "Because they do this to make us believe that Ye Ning really doesn't exist, and that Ye Ning is the extra person. So why do they do this? Why do they treat a living person with flesh and blood as a non-existent person? What's the benefit of this?"

"There are benefits, the benefits are..."

"It can stabilize the curse."

"what?"

"Don't interrupt!"

Bai Ze stood up and paced for a few minutes before suddenly speaking: "They should have been inspired by the origin of the curse. Wasn't it that the head teacher suggested 'let's just pretend he's still alive' after the death of the student named 'Ye Ning' because everyone was too sad?"

"It is this unusual behavior that triggered the formation of the curse. If everyone believes that he is still alive, then it will be the same as Ye Ning's current situation. If everyone believes that she does not exist, then she will really be as good as if she does not exist."

"The reason they did this was to stabilize the curse. It was because the students of that class collectively played the role of the dead that the real dead mixed in, causing the number of people to change."

"The way to stabilize the curse is to change the extra person back to the original number, that is, to forcibly correct '51' to '50'!"

"Although they don't know who the extra person is, they can reach a collective agreement. As long as everyone targets one person and everyone agrees that he doesn't exist, then he doesn't exist, and the original '51' will turn back into '50'."

"So they use this method to force the idea that there is no extra person in the class. As long as the group makes one person 'disappear', then he will really be 'disappeared'!"

Jun Li finally understood what was going on. He was covered in cold sweats. He swallowed hard and said, "So the girl named 'Ye Ning' is probably just a coincidence with the deceased! But it was because of the coincidence that they all let 'Ye Ning' act as the extra person!"

"Right, so do you understand why they want to isolate Wang Ya?"

"Understood…"

Jun Li coughed and explained, "Because Wang Ya is a transfer student, she doesn't know about the so-called agreement between those students. Given Wang Ya's personality, she would definitely go up and talk to Ye Ning after she found that she seemed to be isolated. In this way, it is equivalent to Wang Ya letting Ye Ning 'exist'!"

"But this goes against the agreement of the group of students! Because according to their agreement, 'Ye Ning should not exist'! This is the only way to return the number of students in the class to its original state. But Wang Ya's initiative to talk to everyone will indirectly tell everyone that 'Ye Ning does exist'! In this way, the number of students that was originally forcibly corrected will return to the state of 'one more person'!"

"Well, you finally understand what I mean."

Bai Ze nodded in satisfaction. Before he could praise Jun Li, he heard his partner ask a very stupid question.

"Then why didn't they tell Wang Ya right away when she first transferred here that there's no such person as Ye Ning in our class? Wouldn't that prevent Wang Ya from talking to Ye Ning?"

Bai Ze: …

Bai Ze looked at Jun Li with hopeless eyes and then sighed: "I wanted to praise you, but I found out that you don't deserve it at all."

"How do you want those people to tell Wang Ya?"

Bai Ze resisted the urge to slap Jun Li on the head and said coldly, "Do we have to let everyone point at Ye Ning and tell Wang Ya, 'Look! This person doesn't exist! There's no such person in our class, and you're not allowed to talk to her!'"

"Jun Li, can you please stop being so smart at one moment and so stupid at the next! Think about it. They all think Ye Ning 'doesn't exist'! So if they tell Wang Ya about the conclusion they have collectively reached, they must mention 'Ye Ning'!"

"How can you let others mention a 'non-existent person' to Wang Ya! How can you mention it if it doesn't exist at all? If you mention it, wouldn't it be a disguised statement that 'Ye Ning exists'?"

Bai Ze rubbed his brows and sighed, feeling a headache. "Think about it carefully. When we went to the office, the questions that Mr. Lu answered were very strange!"

"We asked, 'Why was that girl named Ye Ning also isolated?' And what did she answer?"

"She directly answered that there is no such person in our class! She answered many times but she just didn't mention the word 'Ye Ning'! Because she didn't want to admit that 'Ye Ning' existed! So she deliberately avoided these two words!"

"Once these two words are mentioned, one will inevitably have to mention 'Ye Ning who is collectively believed to be non-existent', and mentioning 'Ye Ning' will implicitly lead to the assumption that 'Ye Ning exists'!"

"Once we acknowledge Ye Ning's existence, the number of people in the class will go back to one more! That will trigger the curse! It will break the long-standing balance!!"

Bai Ze was so thirsty that he didn't even have time to drink water. He knocked on the blackboard again and asked, "Now tell me why the curse was still triggered even though they isolated Wang Ya!"

"Uh…"

Jun Li was silent for a moment, looking at Bai Ze's angry eyes, and couldn't help but quicken his pace and speak quickly: "Because Wang Ya has broken the conclusion that 'Ye Ning doesn't exist' that they all believe! Her relationship with Ye Ning is equivalent to telling everyone that I can see her, she exists!"

"So they're isolating Wang Ya just to treat her as if she doesn't exist. Just let her yell whatever she wants! We just need to ignore her!"

"Unexpectedly, the stability of the curse has been broken! Wang Ya has proved that 'Ye Ning exists'! So there is one more person in the class, and the curse begins! So people will die starting today!!"

As expected, Bai Ze's eyes became more restrained and he said to him coldly: "If I don't push you, your brain will rust!"

"Oh... my wife is here, right? I am really good at reasoning..."

Jun Li scratched his head awkwardly but suddenly realized something. He twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Bai Ze: "That's not right... We can't really think that Ye Ning was wronged based on this!"

Jun Li immediately stood up and said, "There is another possibility that is extremely unlikely but possible!"

"That group of students just hit the jackpot by accident. The 'substitute' voted for randomly could actually be a 'non-existent person'!"

"After all, no one knows who he is, or anything about him. Even if his memory is tampered with, no one can find any information about him. So there is also a very small probability..."

"They were just lucky... The 'substitute' voted for... really was the 'non-existent person'..."

"Ye Ning's suspicion cannot be erased! We still have to find a way to investigate whether she has died a long time ago or is the extra person who sneaked in!"
