Inside the work room.

"This is the most crucial clue, and it’s just been found by Nora Scott?" Someone lamented with a sigh.

Five classrooms, one office.

The only existing thing here is naturally particularly important.

Here, they possess an unimaginable presence that, if possible, they would love to stay here and wait. The reason for locking the guest in the office is because the intelligence information in the office connects all storylines.

Very important.

Of course, solving the puzzle in the office is the most difficult.

In their planning, the office was supposed to trap Clement Winter for at least three hours.

Never expected—

Nora Scott, an unexpected variable, came along.

"Let’s improvise," the producer remained optimistic. "If everything follows our script, it would just be conventional. Unexpected surprises that shock us can equally shock the audience."

"But she solved the Huayu Road puzzle too quickly. Could she be suspected of having the script?"

"...I’m not saying this lightly, but even if she had the script and played it beforehand, it’s impossible to be this fast."

"Too fast. Just like those special brains from certain shows, I’m really starting to doubt her IQ."

"Consider her design of the Horror Hospital escape room and script, all created by her alone... what can this be? Just basic operations I suppose."

"My heart has been strengthened by her. Now, even if she swallows the iron door, I wouldn’t bat an eyelash."

"...That shouldn’t be the case."

...

With Nora Scott’s unexpected presence, the work room lacked the usual boredom, seriousness, and tension of filming. Many even felt they weren’t working but rather participating in an extraordinary game in an unconventional way.

They looked forward to Nora Scott’s next performance...

Meeting such a guest during a recording is truly rare.

"Mr. Maddox."

Clement Winter leaned over, reading out the name on the diary’s title page.

Nora Scott turned another page.

"September 1st

This is my first day as a teacher, very excited. I was a bit nervous when introducing myself on stage and got teased by a few mischievous students.

I must perform well tomorrow!"

"This handwriting, it’s a male teacher, right?" Clement Winter stroked his chin, frowning as he analyzed it.

Having participated in the City Secret program, he had some experience with pitfalls. The name "Maddox" at first glance seemed male, but Clement Winter expressed his skepticism immediately.

"Yes."

Nora Scott responded.

The handwriting was neat, elegant, and graceful, beautifully written in semi-cursive script.

Nora Scott continued to flip through.

"September 10th

Celebrated my first Teacher’s Day, received gifts from students, felt a bit at a loss, Mr. Lawrence told me to accept them.

Mr. Lawrence is a very popular teacher, and many students secretly give her gifts.

My Teacher’s Day gift was from Teresa Castro, a student from Grade 12, Class 1. It was a box of candies, I tried two pieces and couldn’t bear to eat the rest."

...

"October 8th

After the National Day break, school has resumed.

During class today, Teresa Castro seemed a bit strange, her desk also had some odd graffiti."

...

"October 23rd

Teresa Castro has been acting very strangely lately, always having bruises, and when I asked her privately, she wouldn’t say anything.

I suspect she’s being bullied."

...

"November 11th

Teresa Castro’s condition is getting worse, she always has injuries, is in a daze, and doesn’t pay attention in class.

She used to be the most attentive in my class.

Her English grades were always above 130, but this time the performance was consistently poor, only scoring 79."

"November 15th

Teresa still refuses to say anything.

I’ve reported it to her homeroom teacher, Mr. Lawrence, but he didn’t take it seriously.

Next year is the college entrance exam, if Teresa continues like this, what’s going to happen during the exams?"

"December 17th

I found out which classmates are bullying Teresa.

I’ll talk to them tomorrow."

"December 19th

Seems like it backfired, what should I do.

Mr. Lawrence still refuses to listen to me."

"January 3rd

They’re in it together, they’re all in it together."

...

The early entries of the diary weren’t recorded daily, and the focus was on a girl named Teresa Castro.

This teacher named Maddox suspected Teresa Castro was privately bullied by classmates, and from assumptions to conducting an investigation, finally confirmed it.

However, many aspects of the story weren’t elaborated in detail, probably needing to combine clues from other classrooms to complete.

This part ends, and the next is a bit thrilling—

"March 17

Teresa Castro has disappeared.

Since the start of this semester, I haven’t seen her at all.

It’s said she disappeared over the winter break, unrelated to the school. Her parents have reported it to the police, but no one has found her."

"March 24

The school seems to be haunted, as students staying on campus claim to have seen ’ghosts’ in the middle of the night.

Ridiculous?

How could there be ’ghosts’?

These students, having too much time on their hands, love to fabricate sensational stories. Campus Top Ten Horror Stories and such, we used to play like that too."

"March 28

The number of students who claim to have seen ’ghosts’ is increasing.

I have a bad feeling. Tonight, when I returned to the staff dormitory, I think I saw something similar to a ’ghost’ too, crouching in the woods behind the library, eating something. Maybe I’ve been under too much stress and it’s causing hallucinations.

There’s still no sign of Teresa."

"March 29 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

It’s not a hallucination!!!!

This morning, a cleaning lady found a student’s corpse at school, mutilated to the point of being unrecognizable... right where I saw it last night.

Thankfully, it was the cleaning lady who found it, and the school quickly reported it to the police. If a student had seen it, they would have been scared to death.

The school has increased security patrols, and the police have started an investigation, hoping to quickly find the killer!

This killer must be a psychopath..."

"April 3

Another two students have been ’eaten’. The police still have no leads."

...

"April 17

The eleventh student.

"April 19

It’s Teresa!! I saw her!!!"

"April 24

Madness. Madness. Madness.

I suspect I’m dreaming.

Zombies! Zombies! They’ve all turned into zombies!"

...

The diary ends here.

The remaining parts become increasingly disordered, with some words so poorly written they’re unreadable, but some information can be vaguely deciphered. It seems to talk about a zombie outbreak, with all teachers and students trapped in the school.

But the rest of the diary pages have been torn out.

"A bit chilling indeed."

Clement Winter blinked, feeling a bit cold.

For convenience in filming, the diary contents were read out loud by him, and the further he read, the more hair-raising it became.

"A bold guess—"

Nora Scott closed the diary and handed it to Clement Winter.

Taking the diary, Clement Winter tilted his head to look at her and asked curiously, "What?"

Nora said calmly, "The school was using Teresa Castro for experiments, but something went wrong, turning her into a zombie."

Clement Winter widened his eyes, "Not by a student—"

"In the class I was in, a boy named Mortimer had the most bloodstains on his desk; imagine he was chewed the worst," Nora continued, "and if Teresa Castro turned into a zombie and retained some level of thinking ability?"

Clement paused.

He asked, "Is she seeking revenge?"

Nora nodded slightly, "Revenge, while having some capacity to fight back, like having a group of zombies like her under her command."

Clement suddenly raised his eyes, asking, "So a batch of students being eaten was because she needed to slowly cultivate a group to fight back?"

"Yes." Nora nodded, saying, "Mr. Maddox saw her but wasn’t killed, probably because she was intentionally sparing him for old time’s sake."

"Then what happened to Mr. Maddox in the end?"

Clement’s curiosity was successfully piqued.

Nora shrugged, "You’ll have to look elsewhere for clues."

"Nora," Clement asked, "is there any other clue in your classroom?"

After a brief thought, Nora summed up, "Teresa Castro was Mortimer’s childhood friend, had a secret crush on Mortimer. Mortimer had a high school sweetheart girlfriend. Started dating Mortimer in October, and the girlfriend always bullied Teresa Castro with friends. Mortimer knew but didn’t intervene."

"..."

Clement was so shocked by this information that he didn’t know what to say.

...

Workroom.

"Did she see the script?! Did she see the script?! Who the hell leaked the script to her?! Where’s Dubois—"

Deputy Director Shawn was so agitated that he couldn’t sit still, standing up from his chair directly.

Dubois, nearly in tears, moved over, "No, really, no. I just gave her the script you provided."

"Really?!" Deputy Director Shawn was incredulous.

"Really!"

Dubois hurried to say.

Deputy Director Shawn, with a gloomy face, "Then how could she guess so much information?! And she was spot on with each guess! And her final conclusions... nonsense! The classroom only provided basic information about three of them; how did she conclude that the girlfriend and friends bullied Teresa Castro together?!"

"Deputy Director Shawn, calm down, calm down. She’s a manga artist... has a great imagination."

Deputy Director Shawn glared, "Great imagination? Why didn’t she guess Teresa Castro was an alien?!"
