The School of the Afterlife was different from before. The people hiding in the dark all showed up like they knew their chance had come.
"Mr. Bai, do you mind if I ask something? The woman who left her presence on you, did she give you any hint? "Zhou Tu's face was pale, and he needed to rest after every sentence.
"I don't know Chang Wenyu at all, and I have no idea how she left her presence on me." Chen Ge did not want to continue this topic. He hurried toward the library.
"Keeping it a secret from us?" Zhou Tu was carried by Zhang Ju, and his body was slowly disappearing. It would be hard for him to even make it to the library.
"I don't care what you think …" Chen Ge continued to move forward, but after a few steps, he suddenly frowned.
He really did not know Chang Wenyu, and he did not want to hide anything, but Zhou Tu made it sound like Chen Ge was purposely hiding something.
Zhou Tu had been leaking information to Chen Ge. This was the first time he had asked, and the first question was related to Chang Wenyu.
This was normal for others, and Chen Ge did not think much of it initially, but the more he thought about it, the stranger he felt.
"Coincidences meet coincidences, and in the end, it became an accident. Although the whole process seemed fine, I still feel that something is not quite right." Chen Ge thought to himself, Zhou Tu has many secrets, but from the looks of it, he doesn't have the time to reveal them.
The painter was the culprit who harmed him. If he really hated the painter, he would have revealed everything related to the painter instead of asking questions.
Perhaps it was just an accident, but Chen Ge had to pay more attention to it.
The library was close to the office. Chen Ge's group walked through the bushes to the entrance of the library.
"I've been here before. The front door is always locked. The only way to get in is through the side door or through the window. Damn it, I'm reminded of that horrible memory again. " Zhang Ju had a bad impression of Chang Wenyu. After all, it was Chang Wenyu who had betrayed him and shattered his only hope.
With Zhang Ju leading the way, the group easily pried open the side door of the library and entered.
The library on the eastern campus looked very old. The building looked like it was just a decoration. Neither the students nor the teachers would come here.
"It feels like a long time has passed, but not much has changed. It is as if she dug out my left eye yesterday." Zhang Ju walked at the front. His shirt was already dyed red. "I once walked this path with her. Technically speaking, she was my first love. This is where we dated."
With a bitter smile on his face, Zhang Ju's finger swiped across the bookshelf next to him. "Why would I choose to have a date in the library at midnight? I should have known that she never liked me. She was just using me. "
"That's not necessarily true. The venue doesn't mean anything." Chen Ge and Zhang Ju walked side by side. "She's been there. I've been to an abandoned school, a mental hospital, an underground morgue, and so on. She still loves me."
"The person you dated was also Chang Wenyu?" Zhou Tu's eyes were confused. He did not finish the sentence, but his eyes moved between Chen Ge and Zhang Ju. "Other than her, I can't think of anyone else who would come to a place like this for a date."
It was nothing, but when Zhou Tu said that, Zhang Ju stopped moving. He looked at Chen Ge up and down and then shook his head. "Impossible. That woman doesn't have the ability or emotion of love. She's a monster."
Feeling agitated, Zhang Ju took a few steps forward alone.
The library was very quiet at night. One could only hear the footsteps and heartbeats of others.
The whole building was sealed, and the doors and windows were closed, but there was no smell. This was different from the outside.
"Go through this row of bookshelves, climb to the top, and step on the railing. That way, we won't need to use the stairs to get to the second floor." Zhang Ju's memory of that night was still fresh. He did not forget any of the details, and they were etched in his mind.
"Why didn't we take the stairs?" Zhu Long sensed that Zhang Ju was in a bad mood, so he kept his voice low.
"I asked her the same question at the time. She said that someone installed a steel door on the stairs, and the door is filled with junk. We can't get to the second floor." Zhang Ju was the first to climb up the bookshelf. "At the time, I didn't suspect her, so I didn't go down the stairs to take a look. Should we go take a look this time?"
"We'll talk after we find the mirror." Chen Ge did not want to complicate the issue.
The group followed Zhang Ju's instructions to the second floor. They only took a few steps when they heard footsteps coming from the end of the second-floor corridor.
"It's another familiar sound. When I came here last time, I also heard these footsteps. At the time, Chang Wenyu told me a story about the ghost in the library. It gave me quite a fright. Now that I think about it, the footsteps should belong to the librarian." Zhang Ju signaled for the others to follow behind him. "Follow me and don't fall behind. If you do as I say, you can avoid any conflict."
"What should we do? The sound is getting closer! "
"Do you see the door to the second reading room on the second floor?" Zhang Ju pointed at a door not far away. "From now on, close your eyes and hold the wall as you move toward that door. No matter what you touch or hear, do not open your eyes until we enter that door. "
"Will it work? What's the difference between that and burying one's head in the sand? "
"Just do as he says. The librarian is also a member of the art club. He will draw everyone who sees him into his painting." Zhou Tu was the first to close his eyes, and the others believed him.
In the end, only Chen Ge was left. Listening to the approaching footsteps, he gestured at his shadow and then closed his eyes.
The footsteps came closer and closer. Chen Ge's group held the wall as they slowly moved forward. It felt like they would run into someone at any moment.
With his eyes closed, his surroundings were dark, and fear rushed at him like a wave.
The footsteps came closer. The person did not seem to notice Zhang Ju and Zhou Tu and maintained a constant speed, but when it passed Chen Ge, the footsteps suddenly disappeared.
"It stopped beside me?"
Chen Ge did not open his eyes. Touching the wall, he continued to move forward. Several seconds later, the footsteps came again, heading toward the end of the corridor.
Pushing open the door to the second reading room, Chen Ge took a deep breath.
"What you've been through, I've experienced it that night. It feels like history is repeating itself." Zhang Ju waited for everyone to enter the reading room before closing the door. "If I'm not mistaken, the mirror should be hidden on the last shelf."
The truth was about to be revealed, but before Chen Ge could approach, a familiar figure walked out from the last shelf.
"I knew you would find this place." The black shadow was carrying a large, old backpack. His head was lowered, and his back was hunched.
