Help, I've become a paper man

After Song Yi said this, the five people turned around.

There were four men standing around Ying Rushi. They had been surrounding the victim, but when they heard Song Yi's voice, they all turned around and faced them.

It sounded somewhat like a "protective" gesture, but when he opened his mouth, he actually said, "Who is so blind as to dare to ruin my good deeds?" with a very ruffian air.

But at this moment, it had no deterrent effect, but instead seemed a bit funny. Song Yi almost couldn't help but laughed out loud.

Fortunately, there was Jasmine, who took a step forward and stood in front of her teammates. She said with a cold face:

"Get out now, or do you want me to beat you up and then get out?"

Her tone was calm and without any passionate emotion, but the momentum contained in it still made the young man panic.

The four brothers acted together again, each taking a step back, almost sticking to the victim. They were obviously frightened again, but they still tried to save face and refused to leave.

Not only that, after they looked at each other, there was a brief shove and they had to choose a leader.

In the form of force.

The three of them pushed the man's back, refusing to let him retreat any further, forcing him to face Jasmine and the other two.

It was so dramatic that Song Yi couldn't help laughing this time. Without anyone trying to stop him, he actually laughed out loud.

"Brother, forget it. It's not glorious if you bully little... uh, little classmates." Song Yi said.

Compared to Jasmine's, his tone was much kinder, even with a hint of negotiation.

But because of this, the four brothers breathed a sigh of relief, and even the fear they had just felt receded a little. The leader took a deep breath, and before he could speak, Jasmine's voice came.

She asked, "You don't want to choose the latter?"

The atmosphere, which had just relaxed, became tense again because of this sentence, and at the same time, the leader's arrogance was suppressed again.

"This..." The leader spoke hesitantly, his words seemed confusing, but he still insisted on speaking:

"Wait, we don't know who you are. This is a school. What do you say counts? Why?"

Jasmine raised her eyebrows and said, "It's because of your bad luck and my strong fist."

This statement is extremely unreasonable. If someone just happens to pass by and hears this, it would probably be difficult for them to tell who is the bully.

Song Yi added: "But we are not bad people. If you leave now, we can still spare your lives."

"Save our lives?!" the leader exclaimed, his pupils shrank for a moment, and the panic on his face was clearly visible.

Not only this person, the other three also had similar expressions. It was obvious that compared with Jasmine's "intimidation", his "persuasion" was more deterrent.

This time it was Jasmine who laughed out loud.

Because of this laugh and Song Yi's embarrassment, the four brothers realized something was wrong. They looked at each other again, not knowing what they were thinking about, but it was obvious that their thoughts had gone astray and they were heading in another direction.

The leader raised his right hand, made an invitation gesture, and looked at Song Yi, saying:

"Come here, I'll fight you."

Obviously they treated him as a soft persimmon.

Song Yi didn't care. He walked out from behind Jasmine and imitated her movements, raising his hand towards the leader. Then he stopped where he was, waiting for the other party to make the first move.

He thought simply, that he could estimate the opponent's strength just by looking at his movements. He was just an ordinary NPC. With Stardust's strength, he was much stronger than the other party. And he had to make the first move. Song Yi felt really embarrassed.

But this pause obviously caused the other party to misunderstand and think that they really met a rookie who was only good at talking.

The leader raised his chin and imitated Jasmine's tone, saying, "Do you want to get out of here by yourself, or should I help you?"

Song Yi's fists were hard, and he didn't wait any longer. He rushed forward and without waiting for the other party to react, he delivered two punches as a greeting.

His moves were ferocious, and even if he showed some mercy, they were still not lenient. But perhaps because of his smiling face or his previous performance, the three men were not afraid, and even took the initiative to confront him. At this time, they shared a common hatred and fought against him together.

The gap in strength is such that the situation will not be easily reversed because of such a small number of people. In just half a minute, Song Yi had finished his work, with four people lying on the ground beside him.

He asked, "How is it? Can you still get up? Walk on your own?"

Song Yi's words were still casual, but it was hard to ignore them. The four people immediately stood up, said "we can walk", and supported each other and ran to the other side. Their steps were not slow at all, as if they were fleeing.

Although it is not what I imagined, it can be considered as achieving the goal.

He nodded with satisfaction and turned to look at Ying Rushi. Before he could say anything, he saw the other party turn around, stroke his temples softly, and his eyebrows moved when he looked at him.

With just one glance, Song Yi took a step back, once again experiencing the visual shock. He subconsciously turned around and wanted to leave, but then he thought of the "clue" and reluctantly stopped. Amid Jasmine's laughter, he turned back stiffly and asked:

"Brother, I have solved the problem. Do you have any ideas or any troubles you have encountered? Can you tell me now?"

Ying Rushi smiled and said, "Of course not. Really, how can we talk about our private conversations in public? It's so embarrassing!"

As he spoke, Ying Rushi also struck some poses, which didn't seem real and seemed like she was acting on purpose.

Song Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Is it fun? How can a kid like this bully you? Do we need to help?"

"If you have any plans, just tell me directly, and I won't have to beat you."

He was serious in what he said and he wasn't joking. The other party didn't realize this, or maybe he noticed it but didn't care.

Ying Rushi said in a pinched tone, "It's really unexpected that you have such a habit. I'm not that kind of person. You're really so abrupt to invite me..."

"Okay." Song Yi interrupted the other party, with a rare hint of anger in his tone, but he just said: "I don't know who you are, and I don't care, but that's enough. I just pretended to be a hero, and I'm in a good mood."

Ying Rushi blinked and continued, "How annoying! He just stood up for me, but now he doesn't care anymore. It's true that all stinky men are... haha."

Halfway through his words, Ying Rushi couldn't hold back his laughter, but soon, before Song Yi could get angry, he held back his laughter, raised his right hand, and added:

"Sorry, sorry, hahaha! This is my first time trying this too. Maybe I'm not very skilled. This is really too presumptuous."

Song Yi ignored the other party, turned around and walked towards the corridor, no longer thinking about the "invitation". Jasmine and the other two followed closely behind him, no longer paying attention to Ying Rushi.

"Someone died last night. You don't need teammates anymore, right?" Ying asked.

Song Yi continued to move forward, without looking back or answering.

Ying Rushi took two steps forward and spoke again: "I was bullied because of a ghost. It was related to the death of the contracted person. Don't you want to know?"

This sentence was effective enough. Song Yi stopped, took a deep breath, turned back and stared at the other party, and asked:

"Why did the contractor die?"
