My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace

"I don't know."

"But lately, I feel like wherever I go, there's this pair of eyes secretly watching me. Sometimes, I even hear the sound of a camera shutter."

As soon as Samuel heard "camera," his mind raced to recent terrifying news stories about child trafficking. Those traffickers would often follow children and take their photos before starting their abduction plans. He became tense, "Xan, could it be that a trafficker has targeted you?"

"Nope." She shook her head. "I kinda saw him once. It's a small figure, not even as tall as you!"

"A little kid, huh?"

Xanthea: "I've got a plan to lure him out!"

"What's the plan?"

Xanthea leaned close and whispered her plan into his ear.

One day after school, as usual, she carried a bag of cat food into the small woods to feed. the cats. While feeding them, she once again felt the familiar sensation of being watched. So, after the cats dispersed, she clapped her hands and started lifting her skirt.

Since it wasn't a trafficker but a peer about her age, it had to be some kind of creep!

Seeing her lift her skirt, he wouldn't be able to resist taking lots of photos. The moment his camera clicked, her brother would rush out and catch him!

Unexpectedly, the gaze that had been secretly watching her seemed to recoil like a shock when she lifted her skirt, and then quickly ran out of the woods.

Huh? Why wasn't there any sound?

Xanthea lifted her skirt left and right, but heard nothing. She looked around in confusion. That's odd!

Outside the woods, some students wanted to go in to cool off or play games, but at the entrance, they were stopped by a boy wearing a mask and hat, covering himself completely. No matter what they said, or even if they tried to force their way wouldn't budge. His firm and stubborn attitude scared away many people.

"Move aside! The woods aren't your property!"

A older boy roughly knocked him down, but just as he was about to enter, he saw the boy quietly picking up a stone, scaring him into pulling his friends and running away.

"Run, he's crazy!"

Under a dense tree, Samuel was holding two large leaves pretending he was a banana tree. Seeing Xanthea twisting left and right, continually lifting her skirt like a hooligan, he laughed so hard that his stomach hurt, and he could barely straighten up.

"Xan, what are you doing? Where did you learn such improper behavior?"

"Samuel, shut it! I'm trying to attract a creep!"

"I think you're the little creep here! Put your skirt down, it's not good M someone really sees you!"

Xanthea didn't believe him, thinking. her appeal wasn't enough. Just as she was about to take off her skirt, Samuel grabbed her by the ear and led her away, "Let's see how I tell Mom about what you're learning at such a young age!"

"Hey, hey, hey, Samuel, let go of me! We haven't caught the creep yet!"

"There's no creep. It's just your imagination. Even if there is, I bet it's just your overzealous little fan!"

In Class 3-1, the math teacher had an emergency, so Hyman from the neighboring class took over. Hesdidn't know the students in this class, nor that Orion had special instructions. When calling on students to answer questions, he happened to call on him.

But he just stood up without saying a word.

"Orion Lockwood, why aren't you speaking? Do you not know how to solve this problem?"
