Josh stared at the malignant spirit bootlicker and asked, “Lilly, how do we catch this ghost?” But now it wasn’t Josh taking Lilly to catch ghosts.
It was Lilly taking Josh to catch ghosts.
Although Josh had caught a regular woeful ghost called Head before, it had already been quite challenging for him.
But now, it was his first time dealing with a malignant spirit.
Lilly asked, “Josh, do you know what bootlickers fear the most?” Curious, Josh replied, “What is it?” Lilly smirked mischievously, her eyes filled with playfulness and mischief. “It's when flattery backfires, right in their faces!” She smiled mischievously, grabbed Josh’s hand, and pulled him inside. “Come on! Let's go to class first.” Josh reluctantly looked at the malignant spirit, feeling like it was not only Lilly’s responsibility but his own as well.
“Goodbye, bootlicker... Wait for me!” Josh said affectionately.
The malignant spirit bootlicker looked puzzled.
Peter's mother looked despondently at the children who had already entered the school, unable to put her mind at ease.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe had planned to tend to her child's wounds before allowing him inside, but he had thrown a tantrum and ran off instead.
The classmate Peter called “Big Black Pig” was named Nicodemus Gacy. Gacy was a rare surname, and for a first-grade student, Nicodemus was not easy to remember.
Furthermore, Nicodemus had darker skin, was taller, and had a more robust physique. That's why Peter enjoyed calling him Big Black Pig.
Nicodemus’s mother was not pleased and said, “Peter's mother, | think your child needs to change this habit. It's impolite to give people nicknames like that. Parents should guide their children properly; otherwise, they won't know any better.” There was something Nicodemus’s mother refrained from saying: The previous incident had caused such a commotion because Peter gave Lilly a nickname.
It wasn't the first or second time that Peter had given someone a nickname. Almost every classmate had been given a nickname by him, but most of them quickly moved on and didn’t mind, leading to a peaceful coexistence.
But this problem persisted for so long, indicating how the parents were teaching their children.
Peter's mother humbly said, “Nicodemus’s mother, you're right. It's my fault for not disciplining him properly. Sigh, this child, he’s so mischievous. No matter what | tell him, he doesn't listen!” “But this time, Nicodemus was too harsh. I'm worried about Peter... I'm concerned.” Peter's mother anxiously looked towards the school, holding her phone, hesitating.
Nicodemus’s mother nodded and said, “Indeed, he was too harsh. I'm sorry, but I'm running late for work.” After saying that, she got in her car and left.
Peter's mother stood in place. The school gate had already opened, and the security guard started urging people, saying, “Parent, don't stand here! Move along.” Peter's mother suddenly felt a surge of unnamed anger welling up inside her.
What's wrong with the mother of Big Black Pig? She was so worried, and the other person simply said sorry so casually? And she didn’t even know if the apology was for hitting her son or for being in a hurry.
Who acts like that? Even if her son was in the wrong, they were the ones who resorted to violence. Out of concern and reason, shouldn't they inquire about the child's injuries or suggest going to the hospital? Peter's mother took out her phone and called Teacher Robin.
Unfortunately, she didn’t get any answer despite calling several times.
So, she had to send a message to Teacher Robin: [Hello, Teacher Robin! I'm sorry to bother you. Peter just got into a fight with a classmate, and he’s bleeding from his face. How is he doing now?] [I apologize for causing you trouble. | know you're busy with urgent matters in the morning. This child, Peter, is always mischievous and disobedient. This time, he angered a classmate with a joke and got beaten up.] Teacher Robin was currently conducting the morning reading session with the students.
During class time, she had her phone on silent mode and placed it in her bag on the desk. Hence, she didn’t know that Peter's mother was calling her.
However, she stood in front of Peter’s desk, surprised, and asked, “Peter, what happened to you?” Peter was vomiting, expelling not just the breakfast he had eaten that morning but also large amounts of “blood.” It was unclear if it was real blood or if it was mixed in with the vomit, but it appeared as if he was spewing out a considerable amount of blood.
This sight shocked Teacher Robin, and without hesitation, she picked up Peter and rushed towards the medical room, not caring about getting dirty from the vomit covering her.
The classmates had never seen such a scene before and were stunned, staring in the direction their teacher had left.
“Oh my, Peter is vomiting blood!” exclaimed a shocked classmate.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe classroom erupted into a buzzing discussion: “Is he going to die?” “Vomiting blood means he’s expelling his internal organs.” “No way, who said vomiting blood expels internal organs?” “Just look at what he vomited, there are no organs... Yuck, it's so disgusting.” “Shhh... Stop talking and start reading.” Lilly remained silent.
Expelling internal organs... that's unlikely...
She was just curious why Peter, who seemed fine earlier, would suddenly start vomiting blood.
Lilly's gaze shifted, and she took the opportunity to slip away.
She placed an “ignore talisman” on her forehead, ensuring that nobody would pay attention to her.
Lilly ran to Josh's classroom, peeked through the window, and used a talisman to roll up a piece of paper and accurately throw it at Josh's head.
Josh inwardly grumbled, wondering who threw a paper ball at him! When he turned his head to look... oh, it was Lilly. In that case, it was fine! He quickly picked up the fallen talisman from the floor, and seeing Lilly gesturing for him to stick it on his forehead, he complied.
Then, taking advantage of the teacher's turned-back, he quickly sneaked out.
Lilly said, “Don’t worry, Josh. With this talisman, everyone will ignore us.” Josh's eyes gleamed. “Wow, an invisibility talisman?” It was the perfect gadget for daydreaming in class or playing on the phone unnoticed! Lilly pulled him towards the school medical room, trying to avoid the main paths, and said, “It’s not that magical, it just makes others not pay attention to us.” They would be more invisible than bystanders.
Josh exclaimed, “Give me a few more of these talismans!” Lilly remained silent.
