Sixty-eight. Anna's side

Several seconds later, the Headless Ghost responded.

"Gone..."

"Gone? The visitor didn't find the note?"

"Found it."

"Found it? The visitor didn't discover the note?"

"Discovered it."

"Discovered it? The visitor didn't see you?"

The headless body lifted its hand, scratched the hair on the head cradled in its arms, and said in a dazed tone, "Well... it seems he didn't see me. He just came over, took the note, shut the cabinet, and left without giving me time to think..."

"Huh..." The Twisted Ghost shadow pondered for a moment, then suddenly shouted, "No good! Quick, notify Dou Shu not to let the visitor go straight there!"

He picked up a phone from under a desk, dialed an internal number, and yelled into it, "Dou Shu, respond if you hear me!"

Seconds later, a noisy reply came, "Dou Shu here."

"The visitor is now skipping the classroom and heading directly to you."

"What!? But I'm still looking—"

"Hurry up! The visitor is almost there!"

"Understood!"
