These Dangerous Girls Placed Me Into Jeopardy-Chapter 6Vol 1. : I Made Eye Contact With Her

[Lillian Ji]

“Pft!”

I couldn’t help it—I snorted out loud after seeing something that messed up.

The sound caught her attention. She lifted her head and looked straight at my face.

“...Hm?”

And just like that—we made eye contact!

The moment our eyes met, her expression shifted ever so slightly. She looked... surprised? And—was she smiling?!

That smile froze me solid for two or three seconds before I scrambled to look away and quickly sat down, head ducked low.

Holy shit, that scared the hell out of me!

Why’d she smile all of a sudden? And why did it have to be such a pretty smile?!

Also, what the hell is [Necrophiliac Killer] supposed to mean?! Why isn’t it something like [Campus Idol] or whatever?!

So that’s her... Lillian Ji is...

I don’t think there’s a single person in the whole school who doesn’t know who Lillian Ji is.

People have confessed to her more times than anyone can count—and of course, just as many have been turned down. She’s the number one crush in guys’ wet dreams and secret love letters. Even some of the younger male teachers want a shot at some # Nоvеlight # teacher-student romance with her. A literal ice queen, an untouchable flower, and one of the most popular school goddesses by far.

As for why I’m sitting in front of someone like that... well, honestly, only someone like me could end up in this seat.

After spending all of first year in high school like a complete loner, everyone figured out I was basically the class outcast. I didn’t really interact with anyone—not that I meant to be cold, but everyone just assumed I was a standoffish guy.

And because I’d never shown any interest in Lillian Ji, the class president must’ve figured I was a “safe pick” and assigned me to the desk in front of her.

Not that I was actually interested anyway. So what if she’s pretty? In the end, she’ll just get older, uglier, and die like anyone else—just another rosy skeleton under the makeup. Ahem... but, yeah, I’ll admit she’s so beautiful it even stuns me sometimes. With a face like that, she wouldn’t have to work a day in her life. If she could sing or act, she could become a top-tier celebrity. People like that don’t mix with nobodies like me.

Even though I’ve been sitting in front of her for over a semester now, I don’t think I’ve ever actually spoken to her.

Yeah... no one usually talks to me, and someone like Lillian Ji—someone always in the spotlight—would never go out of her way to talk to a guy like me... Wait, focus! Ethan! That’s not the issue right now!

Right now, she’s not just a girl so pretty it’s scary—she’s also terrifying for another reason entirely.

A necrophiliac killer. A killer!

There’s not just weirdos in this class—there’s actual murderers?!

That’s way too dangerous! I could become a target at any moment!

No, wait—realistically, she wouldn’t target me. If she was going to do something, it would’ve already happened. I’ve been sitting right in front of her for half a year, and she hasn’t shown the slightest interest.

And besides, I haven’t heard about anyone going missing at school... Yeah, that makes sense. If she did anything to someone on campus, it’d be way too risky. So she probably only targets people outside of school.

Which means—as long as I don’t provoke her, I’ll be fine, right?

But that little snort of mine must’ve caught her attention... What the hell was that meaningful smile about?! I’m freaking out over here!

Whatever. Thinking about it won’t help. I should just focus on the class—yeah, right!

There was no way I could focus on anything after that.

Even our homeroom teacher Miss Ke—who’s apparently a clone—had me distracted. I couldn’t stop imagining she was some experimental creation, just like one of those genetically engineered little sisters in sci-fi. Maybe she cost 11,000 RMB per unit...

And what about her actual age? Does she have an adult version of herself somewhere? Maybe she turned into a kid after taking APTX 4869?

My brain was completely overrun with nonsense. I didn’t hear a single thing from the lesson.

Not that I usually paid attention—I’d always been more into daydreaming or sneaking glances at my phone—but this time I was just staring at the teacher the whole time.

And that’s the one thing you’re not supposed to do during class—look at the teacher. Why? Because you’ll get called on, of course!

And so I got called on.

But I hadn’t listened to any of the lecture—how the hell was I supposed to know the answer?

In the past, I’d just say “I don’t know,” get a little scolding, and move on. But today... being stared at by this class full of weirdos who were never really familiar and now felt like total strangers, I was so nervous I could barely breathe.

Oh god... please spare me...

“The answer’s C.”

A voice came from behind me—Lillian Ji!

She told me the answer!

Why?! Was it because I snorted earlier and caught her attention?! This is bad. This is so, so bad...

“Ethan?”

“Ah, ah—uh, it’s... it’s C!”

“Hm... You took that long for such a simple question? Ethan, are you feeling okay? You seem kind of off today.”

“Uh, yeah, I’m fine. Just stayed up a little too late last night...”

“Boys are always staying up all night... What do you even do?”

The class broke out into soft laughter. I scratched my head and chuckled awkwardly.

“Ahaha...”

“Really, though—take care of your health. You can sit down now.”

I sat back down, but I couldn’t stop my thoughts from spiraling.

Why was she suddenly paying attention to me? What did she want? Was she planning to kill me to silence me?! But she shouldn’t know that I can see her title, right?! No way she’s interested in me, right?! I don’t want a killer to like me!

At this point, Lillian Ji had completely transformed in my mind from the campus idol into a terrifying Jack-the-Ripper type figure.

And that was how I spent the entire class period—consumed by paranoia.

During the break, I silently observed the classroom, deep in thought.

The student sitting in front of me—[Active Masochist]—was quietly clipping her nails. After she finished, she brushed the clippings onto a book and walked out of the room with it.

Ahead of her, [Half-Blood Werewolf] was asking [Pureblood Vampire] a question.

To my right, [Zombie (Awakened)] was munching on bread. [Ghoul] and [Ogre] walked over, and the three of them started enthusiastically discussing what they were going to eat for lunch.

Behind me to the right, [Stalker (Beginner)] was chatting happily with her friends: [Peeping Tom (Intermediate)] and [Eavesdropper (Advanced)].

[Intern Angel] had her phone out and was texting at lightning speed, looking pretty anxious.

[Autonomous Doll] tapped the shoulder of [Multipurpose Appliance] and pointed to her wrist, saying something. Next to them, [Puppeteer] and [Mad Scientist] noticed and turned around to join the conversation.

[Witch] walked up to [Magical Girl] with a fashion magazine, while the smirking [Grand Magus] tried to butt in—only to get liver-punched by [Witch], leaving him groaning on the desk. [Cultivator (Foundation Stage – Initial)] watched the scene with mockery and gave [Witch] a thumbs-up.

Watching this, [Jiaolong] laughed so hard he clutched his stomach, then accidentally bumped [Qiongqi] in the head—earning himself a rising uppercut that knocked him backward into [Grand Magus], who took a second hit.

And that wasn’t even the end. There were also [Dryad], [Cat-Beastman], [Blood Elf], [Mermaid Princess], [Otherworld Hero], [Otherworld Demon King]...

Terrifying!

I mean, sure—at the door earlier I only glanced around and didn’t spot a normal person. But now that I was really looking carefully?

Still no normal people!

Not a single one!

What the hell kind of class is this?!

What the hell kind of school is this?!

What the hell is even going on?!
