Chapter 820 - The Ink

"Emily! Hurry up to get changed! Everyone in the class has left." Tatiana poked Emily who was doing exercises.

Emily looked back. Only they two stayed in the classroom. She finished the last multiple-choice question and carefully snapped the cap on her pen. Then she picked up her bag and walked out.

Today was the last day of December. And it was also the day when Happisland School officially held the New Year's Day party.

Along the long corridor, Emily could see the beautiful blackboard newspapers on the back wall of other classes. Some of the newspapers promoted New Year's Day and praised the beautiful motherland. And the others were inspiring declarations and slogans. Emily could not help but feel refreshed when she saw them.

At this time, the second class in the afternoon had just ended. For the New Year's Eve party, everyone had to go to the auditorium to prepare from 4:30 in the afternoon. Some classes prepared the students' solo performances. Most students did not perform and were reading in the classroom.

Tatiana couldn't help but stare at a student who was holding the examination papers after leaving the classroom. "Wow. He's so hardworking. We are going to watch the New Year's Eve party. It is dark everywhere. Won't he get the neighbor's light to do the examination papers?"

Emily looked up and found that it was Class D.

The student in Class D was so hardworking. Maybe the students in Class S were more hardworking.

Emily and Tatiana had just left the teaching building and walked towards the auditorium. They met their class teacher, who was holding a thermos cup. "Tatiana. Come over and give this to Miss Lee."

"Okay." Tatiana took it.

Tatiana was an average student in the class. She was obedient and never caused trouble. Generally, teachers liked to ask her to do something.

After the class teacher left, Tatiana sighed and said to Emily, "Go to the washroom and change your clothes. I'll deliver the thermos first. And see you later."

Tatiana had already changed her clothes when she went to the washroom in the afternoon. At that time, there were many people in the washroom, so Emily didn't get changed.

"Alright."

The two walked to the entrance of the auditorium and parted ways. Emily then took out her phone and sent a message to Stephanie. Stephanie said that she would come to school tonight to watch the New Year's Eve party. Emily did not know if Stephanie had been in Happisland City.

Stephanie received the message and directly called back. "I'm already here. I'm sitting in the auditorium. Why haven't you come yet? Almost all students are seated here. Where are you?"

Emily looked at her bag, "Wait a moment. I'll go over after I get changed." This way, she could directly take off her down jacket and go to the stage before she performed.

The washroom in the auditorium was also crowded. However, many classes prepared for solo performances. So few people came here to change clothes. The students of Class F had also changed early in the washroom of the teaching building. Therefore, few people changed their clothes in the washroom of the auditorium.

Emily took her bag and went in. She had a habit in the washroom. She only liked the last cubicle.

The students of many classes were wearing white shirts to perform on stage. So Class F finally decided to customize a white long-sleeved T-shirt with the capital "F" printed on the chest.

Emily took off her school uniform and down jacket. Just as she would take off her sweater, she heard footsteps approaching her. This was the last cubicle, and the cubicle next to her was also closed. But the footsteps were still approaching.

Emily put down the sweater and waited quietly.

Before too long, she heard a low sound above her head. It sounded like a basin of water falling on a tarpaulin.

She looked up and saw a guard sitting on top of the door plank, holding a black umbrella, and looking at her quietly.

"..."

"..."

"Pervert!" The female students came in from outside and screamed. Then many girls escaped with the sound of chaotic footsteps.

Emily stared at him and said, "Take her in."

"Yes!" The guard closed his umbrella and floated out.

Emily looked up at the door plank. The splashing ink had a disgusting stench. The ink had probably been mixed with a lot of water and the water that splashed out was gray.

She opened the cubicle door and walked out. Then she saw a bucket on the ground. The edge of the bucket was stained with grayish-black ink, which was condensing into droplets and slowly sliding down.

Because of the scream, many girls in the washroom were alarmed. They quickly ran out, while the boys knew nothing, and went into the washroom to catch the pervert.

The pervert in black grabbed a girl and dragged her into the washroom. Seeing this, Class S' commissary in charge of sports immediately went forward to catch the man. "Who are you? Let her go!"

The guard gently bypassed him, grabbed Nina, and threw her into the washroom.

Nina cried out in fear. She was thrown onto the floor of the washroom. It was a cold winter day, and cold water was on the floor. She fell and banged her knee on the floor. She was so painful to her bones. When she looked up, she saw Emily standing there quietly and staring at her.

Nina tried to get up and pointed at the door in fear. "Emily, there, there is a pervert ... That man ... He peeked at you in the cubicle and ... caught me..."

The commissary said from outside, "Miss! Are you alright? Let me in! What do you mean by throwing her in? You have accomplices inside, don't you? Are you trying to kidnap the female students of our school? Let me tell you, this is illegal!"

Nina quickly got up and walked to Emily. She tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Emily, a pervert is outside. He might be trying to kidnap us..."

"Really?" Emily looked at her and said faintly.

Nina was suddenly stunned. When average people heard that there was a pervert, they would panic. However, Emily was so calm.

Nina opened her eyes wide and looked at Emily. She was unable to say a word for a long time.

Emily held up Nina's hands hanging on both sides of her body. She held her index finger and looked at it for a moment before asking, "Why is it black?"

Emily had carried the bucket just now and her finger had accidentally touched the ink.

"I, I don't know why it is black..." Nina said with a pale face.

Emily nodded and no longer spoke.

The atmosphere in the washroom suddenly froze. And Nina held her breath.

Emily knew it!

Nina was shocked.

"I didn't ... It wasn't me. Don't doubt me. It wasn't me!" Nina explained anxiously.

"What weren't you?" Emily looked at her and asked indifferently.

Nina suddenly lost her voice.

"Weren't you the one who took the photos? Weren't you the one who spread the rumors? And did you not splash the bucket of water just now? Why? Give me a reason." Emily took a step closer and stared at Nina quietly with her eyes covered by bangs.

Nina trembled with tears streaming down her face. But she could not say a word.

Tatiana asked outside, "Emily! Are you alright? What's going on? Where did the man come from? Why didn't he let us in? Emily! Are you inside?"

Emily looked up at the door and said, "Let her in."

"Yes!" the guard answered.

The people at the door were stunned. Everyone had thought that he was a pervert who broke into the female washroom. And everyone clamored to send him to the police station. But now, a female voice came from the washroom. It was obvious that she knew this pervert outside. Everyone stood there in a daze and could not figure out what was going on. Someone asked, "Who? Who is talking inside?"

Tatiana recognized that the voice was Emily's. She was stunned for a moment before she came in. "Damn it! It scared me! I heard them say that a pervert was in the washroom. The first person I thought of was you ... Are you alright? Nina? You're here too. What happened? Why are you crying?"

When the commissary heard that Emily was inside, he desperately rushed in. "You bastard! Why are you stopping me? Let me in!"

The few boys behind the commissary also wanted to go in. The other girls also encouraged them to rush in. The guard was somewhat unable to hold on by himself. And the other three guards in the dark suddenly appeared and blocked the door of the washroom. The students at the door were all stunned.

At first, they suspected that the man was a pervert. And the pervert dressed appropriately. Now four identical people in black suddenly appeared. The students immediately began to doubt themselves. These four people did not look like perverts at all. Instead, they looked like ... high-level private bodyguards in a cartoon.

Why are these people blocking the door of the washroom?

And who was in the washroom?

Why did the man throw a girl in?
