After being beaten up by his wife, Mr. Jun became obedient, but he had no pants to wear. In the end, he had to make do with his wife's pants to make ends meet.

"Honey... your pants are a bit tight... they're squeezing your butt..."

"If you don't want to wear it, just put on your pants like this."

Jun Li pursed his lips and gritted his teeth before putting on his shorts. It was wearable but it hurt the crack of his buttocks.

"Wife, should we send Wang Ya to Ye Ning's house to check on the situation?"

After Jun Li put on his pants, he huddled in Bai Ze's arms and whispered, "Now we actually have two options."

"Well, you said."

"Look, we have to rule out Ye Ning first, right? At least we have to rule out the most suspicious person first. Of course, if she is an extra, then we should just find a way to kill her."

Jun Li leaned against Bai Ze's arms and sighed, "But killing him is still a matter of inference. I'm actually a little worried that if our inference is wrong..."

"Jun Li."

Bai Ze interrupted gently, looking at him with calm eyes: "Even if there is a mistake, so what? Compared to being in the dark, at least we have touched something now."

"Why have you been so indecisive lately? Being timid is not a good thing, you know?"

"But I also know what you are worried about. You just think that the conditions of this curse are too harsh. It has erased everything that can be found, resulting in us making no progress at all."

"And finding the survivors is useless because they either have vague memories or don't know what caused the curse to stop."

Bai Ze touched Jun Li's hair as if to comfort him. He suddenly fell silent, and his originally relaxed brows suddenly tightened.

After a long while, Bai Ze spoke without warning: "How many people were there originally in Wang Ya's class?"

"what?"

Jun Li thought for a moment and said, "There aren't many people. Before Wang Ya came, there were... twenty... twenty-four! Including Wang Ya, that's twenty-five."

"Because it's a private school for rich people, the environment and everything else is much better, and the number of people won't be like those 50, 60, 70 or 80 people gathered together."

Bai Ze was silent for a moment, then he rested his chin on Jun Li's hair and whispered, "I've actually been thinking about a question."

"They said that under the influence of the curse they would suddenly find that there was an extra person in the class, but they just didn't know who it was."

"so…"

Bai Ze looked at Jun Li and said word by word: "When did they notice that there was one more person?"

Jun Li was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything, but Bai Ze continued to state his point of view: "First of all, I looked at the file. All the graduates in the past years have one thing in common."

"The curse doesn't start when the students arrive. To put it simply, it's..."

"It's not like there was just one more person in the class right from the start."

"The class will have a normal number of people at the beginning, but it will take a while... maybe a month... maybe two months... then people will notice there is one more person in the class."

Bai Ze smiled and asked, "Do you know why the curse didn't just put a person in at the beginning, but took some time for people to notice that there was an extra person in the class?"

"Um…"

Jun Li thought for a moment and said tentatively: "Because the trigger for the curse to be activated is 'students discovering a change in the number of people in the class', so if the curse puts one person in at the beginning, then those students may not know how many people there are in the class at all, and even if there is really one extra person, no one will notice."

"Because people were unfamiliar with each other at that time, it was normal for them not to know the class size, but if they didn't notice the extra person, the curse wouldn't be able to be activated."

"So the curse gives those students an 'adaptation period', allowing them to get to know the class first before quietly adding one more person. In this way, the classmates will soon discover the extra person, and then the curse will naturally activate."

“That’s absolutely right.”

Bai Ze praised Jun Li generously and then asked, "Do you know why I want to find out how many people were originally in Wang Ya's class, and when the curse for this class will start?"

"Uh…"

Jun Li scratched his head and pursed his lips without saying anything. Bai Ze sighed: "I have a guess now, but I need proof."

"The method of proof is to find out how many people there are in the class at the very beginning, when it is still in the 'adaptation period'."

"At that time, the 'extra people' hadn't mixed in yet. The class still had the original number of people. I have to figure this out."

"And I also need to know the exact time when the curse of this class was activated, and when the curse allowed that person to sneak in..."

"What's your guess?"

Jun Li looked up at Bai Ze and asked subconsciously, but Bai Ze gave an unfathomable smile: "Guess for yourself."

"Jun Li, don't forget that our bet is still in place. I can't give you any more ideas."

Bai Ze stroked Jun Li's cheek, his voice carrying a hint of mockery from a victor: "Just wait to call me husband for seven days, then wash your body clean at night and wait to be marked by me."

"Originally I was afraid that you would feel pain and I kept enduring it."

"But since you're taking this as a bet..."

Bai Ze whispered into Jun Li's ear: "I can't stand it anymore... I really want you to be my private property..."

"If you don't work harder, once my hypothesis is proven true, I can directly find the real extra dead bodies."

"As for you...just be my wife obediently."

"Fuck! I'm not fucking doing it!"

Jun Li was immediately unhappy with this provocation. He hurriedly stood up and glared at Bai Ze with gritted teeth: "There's no way I'll lose to you! You can't even be my husband! I'll weld the dog hole shut for you!"

The two of them were in a stalemate for a while, and Jun Li covered himself with the quilt and closed his eyes: "Alright! Go to sleep! I'm a little tired! Take a nap and get up to check!"

Bai Ze laughed and didn't refute, and lay down as well.

However, Jun Li did not fall asleep. He waited until Bai Ze fell asleep and then secretly took out his mobile phone to send a message to Mr. Lu, the deputy head teacher.

"How many people were there in your class?"

He didn't expect that Teacher Lu would reply in seconds: "Twenty-four."

Jun Liyi thought something was wrong, so he continued to send messages and asked, "Twenty-four at the beginning? Didn't they say there would be one more person? Then why is it twenty-four now?"

Teacher Lu kept showing that she was typing. She probably didn’t understand and didn’t know what to say. It took her a long time to reply: “Yes, it is indeed very strange. I don’t know why. Maybe there is something wrong with my memory. I know there is one more person, but I remember that there were originally 24…”

"Maybe the memory is affected by the curse..."

Jun Li frowned slightly and replied: "Okay, thank you."

He curled up in bed and his mind became clearer.

It can't be a memory problem, because if the curse makes you forget the number of people, no one will realize that "there is one extra person". In that case, the curse cannot be activated at all, because no one will notice that there is one extra person.

So the original class size was 24... Then why is it still 24 now...

What exactly is this extra thing? Did something go wrong in his investigation?
