Joe, Church, and Jasmine are studying in class 520, Magic Dreamers’ school.  They have become good friends after working together on a geography report.  During the ten-minute breaks, they always get together.  Sometimes they chat in the classroom or on the hallway; sometimes they walk around the campus, go to the tuck shop, or even to the toilet.
One day, after English class, Jasmine shouted loudly at Joe and Church, “Let’s go!”  “Where?” Joe asked without moving his eyes away from his phone.  “Let’s walk around, shooting the breeze, since there are no more quizzes today.”  “O. K. Let’s go, Church.  Church took his English pocket book, walking behind them.
They passed through the inner gate to walk around the sports field.  While walking, Jasmine looked up at the sky, fancying that she was walking in the sky.  “Wow, look at that cloud, looking like a castle.  How I wish I could live in a castle as a princess does!”  Both Joe and Church raised their heads, looking up and wondering where the castle is!  “Did you watch too many cartoons, or too many Korean TV programs?” Church replied to her while Joe was shaking his head.  “It’s so cold.  I’m a little hungry.  I would like to buy some snacks in the tuck shop,” Joe said.  Jasmine said she would like to take a longer walk.  Church hesitated whether he should go with Joe or Jasmine.  Jasmine said, “You two go first.  I’m coming soon.”
After a while, Jasmine walked through the inner gate, going toward the classroom.  Suddenly, she felt like there was somebody behind, gazing at her.  She turned back quickly.  But there was none.  “Am I dizzy today? I don’t have any fever today,” she said, feeling her forehead by her right hand.  She walked on.  However, she still felt somebody monitoring her from behind.  “What’s wrong with me today?  It is almost time for Chinese Class.  I have to hurry up.”   She couldn't wait to tell her friends such feelings but she had to wait until the Chinese Class ended.
Finally the bell rang.  She ran to Joe and Church to tell what had happened to her.  At first, they didn’t think there was anybody that got interested in her.  “Don’t worry.  Our school is safe.  We will protect you.”   Jasmine was still wondering why she got that feeling, so she decided to walk again on the same path they walked during last break time.  Church and Joe had no choice but to go with her.  Once again, as soon as they went through the inner gate, going toward the classroom, Jasmine got that feeling again.  All of them turned around, but nobody looked at her.  They walked on again.  After a moment, Jasmine felt piercing eyes gazing at her back again.  However, Joe and Church felt nothing at all.  “Maybe you are too tired.  You stayed up so late last night.” the boys said.  “But I stayed up almost every day from Monday to Friday.  I didn't have such a feeling before,” Jasmine answered.  While they were talking, Jasmine faced the statue Confucius.   All of a sudden, she motioned the two boys to turn back.  There was a sparkle the Confucius’s eyes.  “Let’s go take a look at it.” When they got closer to it, the sparkle in the eyes disappeared.  All of them rubbed their eyes.  The Confucius was still the same –standing straight, looking forward, making a bow with clasped hands held at breast level, with a sword clasped by his waist band.  Illusions! Church said.  No, Jasmine said, I want to see what on earth happened to the statue.  Lets walk around the statue to explore it.  “萬世師表” “學不厭” “教不倦”, these words inscribed respectively on the front, right, and left sides of the base are still the same.  The dormitory behind Confucius Statue has nothing different.”      Church repeated the words again, and Joe did so, too.  




     Joe and Jasmine didn't take seriously. They thought that Church fantasized beyond description, and then they went away without else thinking. Few days later, there was a dazzling light in front of the Confucius, but everyone would ignore the bright. There were also many things about death of teachers, which were not only unexpected but also couldn't figure out any reason, what’s more, the things about that were more and more frequent. However, those who were curious about it were Joe and Jasmine. The next day, they asked Church about things related to Confucius he should know. But Church only said that he didn't hear of something like that with a doubtful and twinkling wink. Then Joe and Jasmine asked him to find out the answer to the question together, although he was nervous with his English pocket book taken by opposite direction, he still promised. They dated to figure out the consequence in the afternoon afterwards. When arriving there, they saw a truck bursting tire suddenly after Confucius’s eyes set off a sparkle. At that time, they were astonished. “What happened? ’’Joe said. Instead of hearing of that, he was listening to music. “That is too frightening. What happened just now isn't indeed pure; it doesn't like the imagination that we thought previously. ’’Said Jasmine. When they went toward the tire of the truck, finding out it wasn't eccentric. “It is merely out of gas. ’’Church said nervously. Joe was shocked by it so that he took Jasmine to the classroom. Then they left Church alone. Church glanced in all directions. He felt jealous because of them. “Why do you always regard me as air? ’’Church murmured. As a matter of fact, since few months ago, Church was angry with the relationship between Joe and Jasmine. Church has already planned a series of action that he wanted to take a revenge on them. However, Joe and Jasmine didn't sense everything and even see Church as their good friend.
A tranquil morning, Confucius shake by itself, making odd noises, people around the statue were terrified, especially Joe and Jasmine. They henceforth were deeply concerned what happened to Confucius. “Do you want to stay at school so that we can observe Confucius’’ Joe asked Church. “Sorry, I can't do that, for an essential thing at home. ’’ Said Church. In reality, there was nothing in his schedule; he was simply scared of something. Originally, Joe and Jasmine believed naively that he fails to witness the terrible criminal in person, but the truth wasn't pure like that Joe and Jasmine thought of.
Joe and Jasmine chatted with each other looking at Confucius with stars bringing in the sky. “Church is really a coward. ’’ Jasmine said. “Do not say this, maybe he really has important things tonight’’ Joe said. But when the sky was getting brighter, they still didn't find out something abnormal. On account of relaxed mood, then they fell asleep by accident. They guarded near Confucius day and night, it occurred nothing. “Hey, wake upwake upQuicklyIt is light already.’’ Joe said. “WhatIt is light already.’’  Jasmine said astonishingly.Why did I fall asleepAnd  you?  Do you come up with something else?’’ Jasmine said. “Sorry, I fell asleep as well. ’’ Joe said. “Let it beAnywaythere are nothing happening. ’Jasmine said. But they still deeply believed that Confucius have some problem. As soon as they went into the classroom, they saw Church sleeping alone. They were puzzled because Church latest for class certainly. They considered that there surely were something bad happening at his house. “Did anything happen to Confucius last night? ’’Church asked. “No. What about you? You look terrible. Maybe I can help you. ’’Jasmine told Church. “I’m OK, thank you. ’’Church then responded. In fact, all queer phenomenon recently related to Confucius resulted from Church. To begin with, Church was angry with the assignment teacher hands over every day so as to temper with Confucius so that he could kill them. And he even wanted to scare Joe and Jasmine for their intimate relationship. Church didn't expect they were actually desirous of the key reason of Confucius’s behavior. Church was worried about Samthe person he hired in the statue of Confucius was unable to escape Joe's suspicion and gave the game away. Because the Confucius shake before on account of the fact that the person hired was dozing off at that time. That night, he decided to stay there personally just in case his perfect schedule will be messed. But he saw the close appearance between Joe and Jasmine, anger in Church's mind broke down, he couldn't hide his jealousness. He starts preparing for his retaliation. At that nightChurch ran secretly to classroom and started to sleep in the meanwhile, so he was early in the classroom.  One day, Church asked Joe to play basketball as before. "OK, I will probably win this time “Joe confidently said. When Joe passed by Confucius then he was shot by the statue. Actually, this was Church's plot. However, it was pretty successful smoothly. But Church told laid that it probably an incident. “I am shocked by it, too. Maybe he always pays attention to play mobile phone so he can't notice the dangerous light set from Confucius. ’’Church said to Jasmine. When Jasmine heard of the news, she fell apart immediately, she couldn't accept the reality. Since the miserable incident, her thinking became very extreme and crazy, her behavior turned into disorder. Jasmine began to close herself in her home, imagining Joe was still along with her. Church couldn't stand itched thought if Joe died, Jasmine will fall for him, though, and the fact seemed to fail. Instead, Jasmine neglected him much more, even hated him, for death of Joe sprang from him the most possible. A sunny afternoon, Church went to Jasmine's home. “How are you? Do you want to take a stroll? Don’t be indulging in bad mood! ’’Church encouraged. “You are a murderer! Don’t be close to me! Go away! ’’Jasmine shouted and closed the door. Church went back to dormitory with sorrow. As he was nearby Confucius, suddenly, there was something inconceivable. “Are you happy now? “A sound sent out by Confucius. In the beginning, he considered that his partner tease him. “Don’t bother me! ’’He cried. A smoke covered his eyes abruptly, and then the soul of Confucius appeared in front of him. He drew back, staring blankly. “Is it your purpose? Now, you lose two friends, even the person you love doesn't want to see you. ’’Confucius said. “OH my ..."Church whispered. He found he made a lot of mistakes; he kneeled down later starting crying. “I am not on purpose. Can you forgive me? “Said Church. “Are you OK? ’’ Said Confucius. Then Church ran to Jasmine's home, and thought about maybe he could retrieve something. When arriving, her mother told that she thanked him for his help. “Why?' Church doubtfully asked. “Since you urge my daughter to get over, she starts to go out the door now. ’’Her mother replied. “As Jasmine comes back, I will tell the truth “He said to himself. He departed temporarily and went back to school to tell the person he hired that he wants to finish it. "Tear down all of the gear, you must find a normal job, guy! ’’Church told him seriously. Although he was a little bit sad and promised.
Another side, Jasmine had already left for a stream named “Big Leopard”, which is the most dangerous area in Sanxia. Because there were countless excellent memories between Joe and Jasmine, she wanted to commit suicide there. After knowing the bad news, he ran fast to the hospital, but it's too late. He only saw an icy body and could not help shedding tears.SorrySorryI should not make false charges against youit is all my faultI should…’’  Church cried and was unable to control himself, he blamed himself also. Originally, he tried to admit what he have done, but all was too late. Later, he wept in the hospital for a long time, eventually his throat could not send out sounds in the end. Jasmine's mother hurried to the hospital soon after." why are you so crazy? My daughter! Come back! Don not you know how sad I will be? You ended up your lifetime just for Joe!" Jasmine's mom shouted. While her mother saw Church keeping in a bad mood as well and said "Sorry, it is all my fault!" Then her Mom comfort him," It is not your mistake!"Hmm…"In fact, there is a thing about Jasmine that I must tell you now. ’’Church said. “What?’’ Jasmine’s mother said. “Hmm….nothing special’’ Church said. Actually, he wanted to confess all thingsbut he could not do it.
Church finally felt a sense of loss going back to the dormitory. On the way to dormitory, he passed by Confucius again. The school should have been tranquil after twists and turns, but the thing was not like that he thought. Since he laid Sam off, the atmosphere has not become serene. Confucius spouted out the light like before. In the beginning, he felt quite a bit puzzled. But after thinking that seriously, it might be a Confucius's  soul that wanted to tell him he made many mistakes, trying to let him reflect upon himself. However, he did not take it seriously, leaving the place. When he was ready for a break, as a sudden, a gigantic voice was sent out from Confucius as well as noisy sound.'' There is a tire bursting again.'' ''One hears that it was spouted from Confucius!'' ''But since class 520 Joe died, there is not something else happening. ''The students were talking about it for a while in the dormitory. At that time, Church was tense, figuring out there were something occurring, for that he knew Confucius won't do harm to people at random. So he decided to look for reason. When he stood in front of Confucius, it was really manipulated by someone, then he walked toward the secret path that lead to control it. He looked around, seeing a person.'' Why are you still here? The plot between us had already come to an end, you must find a general job. ''Church said. ''I would like to ...''Sam murmured. Sam did not talk too much, he was worried that what he said would ruin the schedule he planned. In reality, Sam could not find so gentle work like this, being discontented that Church cancel the action he projected. Sam felt dissatisfied and wanted to take a revenge on him…. To be Continued ….
