Mr. Lei

Mr. Lei is an administrator of the School of the Afterlife who tries to preserve institutional order during its crisis.

Biography

Narrative role

Mr. Lei confronts Chen Ge as the western campus destabilizes, insisting that the school's rules and existing structure are necessary to prevent total collapse. He uses his knowledge of the institution and authority over its inhabitants to challenge Chen's disruptive methods. To him, control is not merely personal power: an uncontrolled school could endanger every student and spirit inside it. (Chapters 835–865)

As Chen's group exposes the failures behind the old order, Mr. Lei is forced to confront the need for a new headmaster and a system that protects students rather than simply containing them. He survives the transition and yields to the emerging governance, showing a limited but meaningful capacity to adapt his rule-bound outlook to moral responsibility. (Chapters 866–905)

Appearance and personality

Mr. Lei is stern, formal, and deeply invested in procedure. His rigidity makes him antagonistic toward Chen's improvisation, yet his concern about the school's collapse is sincere, and he can revise his position once the old structure proves indefensible. (Chapters 835–905)

Skills and supernatural abilities

He possesses extensive knowledge of the school's rules, internal organization, and administrative vulnerabilities. He can exercise institutional authority over parts of the campus, but no distinct spectral rank or precisely defined combat power is established. (Chapters 835–905)

Relationships

Chen Ge is first Mr. Lei's disruptive opponent and later the force that compels him to accept new governance. Wei Jiuqing represents an earlier connection between the school and people trying to protect its students, a responsibility Mr. Lei eventually recognizes more fully. (Chapters 835–905)

Items

No named personal or supernatural item is consistently associated with Mr. Lei; his influence comes from knowledge and administrative position rather than an artifact. (Chapters 835–905)
