Teaching Seele How to Go Crazy Online

"Don't worry, a dream is just a dream. We live in reality, don't we?"

Li Mo comforted Seele.

"It's getting late. If you don't sleep now, you'll be dozing off in class tomorrow."

"Okay, then Seele will go to sleep now. Good night, Brother."

"Good night, Seele."

Under Li Mo's watch, Seele closed her eyes.

Li Mo turned his back, took out the bloody newspaper from his pocket, and his eyes glinted fiercely.

He really wanted to ask why the bloody newspaper had followed him, but for now, it was best not to leave Seele, lest the mansion change again, and the dream reappear.

Through the brief experience in the dream, the first to be corrupted was the ninth room, which was his room. The source of the Bizarre that led to the birth of the haunted house was very likely in this room. Excluding himself, who was an ordinary person, the one who would stay here the longest was probably...

Li Mo glanced at Seele out of the corner of his eye. Her peaceful sleeping face was like a quiet and beautiful butterfly, resting motionless on a flower leaf. Her lips were slightly parted, and her small nose exhaled a faint, even breath.

"..."

Li Mo was silent. The hint in his mind seemed to have disappeared. The only way to explore the truth was the bloody newspaper that had appeared out of nowhere.

Li Mo operated the wheelchair and slid to the window, as far away from Seele as possible.

After confirming the distance was enough, Li Mo stared at the bloody newspaper and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

[To save you.]

"Save me? A Bizarre item like you is worthy of saying that?" Li Mo said with contempt. "You've told many people you would save them, but you killed them. This time you said you wouldn't lie on the first night, but in my judgment, every word you say is like a lie."

The bloody newspaper did not reply, falling into a silent silence. The bloodstains on the newspaper seemed to have dimmed a lot.

Wait...

The words that appeared on the bloody newspaper were fresh blood. Although the amount of blood was very small and couldn't completely reflect the surrounding environment, it could still easily reflect the silhouette.

In the brightly lit room, Li Mo could see the reflection of the ceiling light in the blood. It was like a bright spotlight, its light scattering in the blood, the center incredibly dazzling. But this light suddenly dimmed, as if it had been blocked by something.

Li Mo didn't pay much attention, just thinking that the blood on the newspaper was about to dry up, so he asked the second question: "Is that dream real?"

Li Mo deliberately lowered his voice, so much so that he couldn't even hear himself speaking. Fortunately, the Bizarre item's judgment was very efficient. The subtlety of the voice did not affect the bloody newspaper's hearing of Li Mo's words. It was the same with ghosts. Their hearing was far superior to that of ordinary people...

"Hmm?"

The bloody newspaper answered every question, but the speed and neatness of the content sometimes varied, just like now. The words that appeared were very twisted, like earthworms. Li Mo squinted and observed carefully.

[Both.]

"Both?"

Li Mo was stunned. He had only wanted to ask about the dream just now. Was there more than one?

Suddenly, Li Mo noticed that the blood was receding rapidly. The second before it receded, it reflected a human silhouette and showed new content.

[Turn around.]

The light on the ceiling was completely blocked. Li Mo felt a chill down his spine and quickly turned around, only to see Seele sitting up straight, as still as a wooden doll.

"Seele? Did I wake you up?" Li Mo nonchalantly put the bloody newspaper back in his pocket.

Only after Li Mo moved did Seele shake her head, "I had a nightmare, but I can't remember it."

"A nightmare? Did you have a bad day at school?" Li Mo operated the wheelchair to the bedside and placed his hand on Seele's head.

It was warm. Not a ghost. But just now...

Li Mo glanced to the side, and out of the corner of his eye, he looked behind him but saw no other shadow.

Damn it... There were at least two ghosts in the room, and neither could be dealt with. The ghost who lit the candles, and the ghost reflected in the bloody newspaper. If it weren't for the fact that he was in a different world and lacked money, Li Mo would have wanted to take the children and flee this mansion.

"No..." Seele shrank back again.

"I'll go to school with you tomorrow. I'll talk to the principal, and I'll sit at the back of the classroom and watch you have your lessons."

"So hurry up and sleep now. I don't want to see you dozing off in class tomorrow."

Li Mo urged Seele to go to sleep quickly. Because he also had to sleep. In this situation, he couldn't use the bloody newspaper in front of Seele anymore. But he didn't expect the bloody newspaper to be of some use, pointing out a ghost for him.

Obviously, when he was communicating with the bloody newspaper, that ghost was standing behind him, bending over and blocking the light. Based on the silhouette in his memory, Li Mo judged that the ghost was probably an adult woman. A child couldn't completely block the ceiling light by bending over behind him.

And the countless long hairs in the reflection.

"..."

Why was it becoming more and more like the older Seele?

Li Mo shook his head and turned to go to sleep.

The next day, Li Mo woke up from his sleep and found a person standing at the door, her eyes wide with anger, her cheeks puffed out like a blowfish, glaring at him angrily.

"..."

He opened his phone and found that it was already eight o'clock in the morning. Didn't the alarm wake him up?

The well-dressed Bronya was now carrying her small schoolbag, her lips pouting, her eyes full of hostility.

Li Mo turned his head to look at Seele, whose back was exposed on the bed, as white as jade. Half of the quilt had been kicked off the bed, but fortunately, the other half still covered her lower body. Even more fortunately, Seele was sleeping on her stomach, otherwise Li Mo would have had a hard time explaining.

No, he already didn't know how to explain. Seele's discarded clothes were piled on the bedside table.

"Ahem, Bronya, what are you standing there for? Wake Seele up and get ready for school."

Li Mo silently slid his wheelchair and left the room. What happened next was no longer within Li Mo's consideration. He only knew that Bronya remained silent on the way to school, holding Seele's hand tightly, walking at the back of the line.

Li Mo was at the very front, first sending the elementary school children off, letting them go to school and play for a while. School was always safer than the road. After that, he would lead the junior high school children to school together, call the principal, and indicate that he would be staying at the school for the day.

The principal readily agreed and even specially brought a table for Li Mo to prevent him from getting tired from sitting on just one stool. That old bastard Otto was quite sensible. When he needed something from him, he behaved very well. There was no doubt that Otto had already greeted the people around him.

Otto knew he wasn't stupid and would definitely realize that he was the one who did these things, selling him a favor.

"...So sleepy."

Li Mo rested his head on the table, feeling a little bored. Although in the eyes of others in this world, he had never been to school, the knowledge from junior high was indeed nothing to learn. He knew it all.

When he was in college, Li Mo had fantasized about going back to junior high. Being called on by the teacher, solving problems on the blackboard in front of all the students, and showing off his "genius" with the advanced mathematics he had learned in college, capturing the envious and admiring gazes of his familiar yet unfamiliar classmates and teachers.

Unfortunately, those were just unrealistic fantasies of his youth. Was it fun? Of course, Li Mo could do it now, but he had already lost the passion for showing off in front of others.

How should he put it... he probably preferred to watch the children create their stories rather than creating his own. Was it because he wasn't complete? Or for some other reason...

Li Mo looked up and his gaze moved to Seele's position. The bell rang for the end of class. Seele and Bronya were chatting happily. At this moment, a sneaky little boy was standing outside the door.

"..."

Li Mo pinched the back of his hand hard. It hurt. But he immediately cursed himself for being a fool. In a bizarre dream, the pain was real. Unless you could identify a clear logical loophole, reality and dreams were not much different. So pinching himself was a very stupid thing to do.

The little boy was holding a gift box. He cautiously ran up to Seele and handed her the gift box.

"Something strange is happening again. Am I... still in a dream created by a rule?" Li Mo murmured in a low voice, sitting at the back and preparing to see what would happen next.

Suddenly, the little boy took a deep breath, confessed his love, but was driven out by Bronya who had the class president do it. After all, the grade had a rule against casually visiting other classes, although most students turned a blind eye.

"That's it?" Li Mo's expression was stunned. What a realistic reality. Not a trace of romance. But before the little boy was driven out, he shouted loudly, "Seele, see you at the playground after school tonight!"

Then he was pushed out along with the gift box. Nothing strange seemed to have happened today.

"Hmm?"

While Li Mo was thinking, Seele had already come to him, showing a timid look. "Brother, can I talk to you outside?"

Afraid? Ashamed? Shouldn't she be showing an embarrassed expression at this time? Seele's expression management had always bothered Li Mo. Her expression was always very incongruous with reality.

Under Bronya's murderous gaze, Seele pushed Li Mo out of the classroom. Seele must have told Bronya in advance not to disturb them, otherwise Bronya would have definitely rushed out to be a third wheel.

Seele pushed Li Mo to the storage room. Few students came here. Li Mo looked at the boxes piled up like a mountain inside and was a little stunned.

"What do you want to talk to me about, Seele? Is it about the boy who confessed to you just now? Don't worry, I won't take it to heart. Our Seele is so cute, it's very normal for someone to like you. Don't worry about it."

Li Mo reached out and patted Seele's small head. But the next second, what Seele said made Li Mo's eyes narrow, and his comforting hand suddenly froze.

"If... Brother, I mean if..."

"If Brother had beaten up the boy who confessed in front of the whole class today, and said many humiliating words, making the boy lose face and making Seele unable to hold her head up in front of her classmates..."

"What kind of thoughts would Brother have?"

"And what... should Seele do?"

Li Mo: "..."

What? Me beating up a junior high school student? No, I'm a disabled person who is half-paralyzed. Let alone a junior high school student, even an elementary school student could take me down. Me actively beating someone up?

Li Mo imagined it and came to a conclusion: he would be beaten black and blue, his face swollen. Moreover, he had no conflict with this confessing little boy. Li Mo also knew very well that Seele would not accept the other party's confession.

Li Mo had no reason to beat up the other party, let alone verbally abuse them. He was a civilized person.

Li Mo smiled wryly. "In Seele's eyes, am I such a barbaric and despicable person?"

"No, no! That's not what Seele meant!" Seele hurriedly shook her head, stamping her feet repeatedly to clarify her thoughts.

"I just..." Seele lowered her head, bit her lip, and swallowed all the words of explanation she was about to say, seeming to tacitly agree with Li Mo's words.

This time it was Li Mo's turn to be silent.

Li Mo: "..."

Wait, you're silent! So I really am a despicable person?

Li Mo sighed deeply. Even though he knew Seele was most likely talking about someone from another world, he still couldn't hide his disappointment. He had been frugal, working overtime late at night, and had never bought himself new clothes or things he liked.

To be so misunderstood after treating the children with all his heart, he felt a little heartbroken.

"Sigh..."

"If I had really done that today, emmm... I'm sorry, I can't think of a reason. Whether out of jealousy or anger, I would not attack an innocent child."

"Even if I were to attack, I wouldn't beat them, but choose other ways to warn and punish them. If I really did something like that for no reason... it was probably for some reason that I had no choice."

"As for what Seele should do... it's very simple. You just need to apologize generously."

"Because my actions cannot represent your will. Your apology can draw a clear line between you and me in the hearts of your classmates. This is equivalent to telling everyone that you are you, and I am me. You have paid for my mistakes, but it doesn't mean you are really wrong."

Li Mo explained to Seele very seriously what she should do. A parent's disgrace has a very profound impact on a child, especially for a child whose mind is not yet mature and whose cognitive system has not yet been perfected. Seele had just arrived at the orphanage, and he should indeed make up for her and Bronya's psychological education from their early years.

After hearing Li Mo's answer, Seele was a little excited, and even her tone became very rushed.

"Then, then... then what if someone pours a drink on me, and when the teacher talks to you, you say it takes two to tango, and it's my own fault..."

Before Seele could finish, Li Mo's brows furrowed, and his expression was angry. Seele thought she had said something wrong and was about to say sorry when Li Mo suddenly raised his right hand and held up his index finger, making the thousand-law gesture of "it was all ***'s fault."

"Pah, pah, pah! You slap the person who said that and see if it rings!" Li Mo said indignantly, but quickly calmed down.

"As for having a drink poured on you, if you can't clean it up in time, I suggest you prepare a bottle of mineral water in advance. Natural water is also fine. Before someone pours it on you, you pour it on yourself first."

"Huh?" Cat-like Seele asked a soul-searching question.

"Trust me, as long as you're crazy enough, you won't feel embarrassed."

Li Mo said with confidence.
