Run!
Han Fei raced out of Room 401 without looking back. It was already a big win for him to get that big bag of stuff.
The 3 children in the room did not expect a man to be hiding under the bed. They also did not expect the man to steal the children's school bag.
The ghosts who were entangled in resentment screamed shrilly. After recovering from their momentary daze, they chased after Han Fei hysterically.
Clutching the school bag, Han Fei sprinted down the corridor.
As he ran, he reached into the bag to use the system's identification function.
"Notification for Player 0000! You've discovered Grade G Item — Unreturned Book.
"Unreturned Book (Haunted by Resentment and Despair): Legend has it that a girl at the library was reading this book before she was murdered. If you borrow this book home, she will follow you home.
"You've discovered Grade G Item — Surveillance Tape.
"Surveillance Tape (Haunted by Resentment and Despair): This surveillance tape records very important things, including the scene of your death."
"You've discovered Grade G Item — Red Uniform.
"Red Uniform (Haunted by Resentment and Despair): A red uniform is placed inside one of the cupboards in the changing room. When there is only one person in the changing room, this uniform will silently appear.
Han Fei put away everything that could be stored in his inventory. He did not hesitate to let the shadow on his finger absorb the rest.
Since he could not put them into his inventory, he would have to discard them after he logged off.
To minimize waste, Han Fei had the shadow crawl into the bag to crazily devour the Yin energy and resentment from the 'old items'.
The shadow that was only a 'thread' started to expand as it continued to devour the Yin energy. It crawled up and down the bag like a black snake.
'Eat more! You won't get another chance like this again! '
To buy as much time as he could for the shadow, Han Fei sprinted like his life depended on it.
'The three children are at loggerheads with the hostel manager. If only I can stir up some conflict between them.'
The bag was filled to the brim with Yin energy. Han Fei kept the items with the heaviest Yin energy into his inventory while the rest were consumed by the shadow.
In other words, there was only a pile of trash left in the bag.
When he reached the first floor, without a second thought, he smashed the school bag on the hostel manager's window!
"Pa!"
Glass shards flew everywhere, and the small items in the bag were scattered all over the hostel administration room.
"The dormitory door is locked, I can't get out. There were three ghost children chasing after me. If they split up to block me, I wouldn't be able to escape. If I log off in front of them, I'll expose my trump card of being able to quit the game. So, the wisest choice now is to find a secluded place and leave. "
After tossing the bag away, Han Fei did not hesitate and ducked into the nearby toilet.
The footsteps approached. The three children were not stupid. Two of them ran into the dormitory manager's room to retrieve their school bags, while the last one sneaked into the toilet to check.
When the coolness came from the landlord's ring, Han Fei hid inside Cubicle 1 and logged off.
The color of blood descended and Han Fei's consciousness left the game.
Taking off the gaming helmet, he picked up the cold water on the table and took a few gulps.
"Running away after snatching. How exciting."
Putting down the glass, Han Fei put on a jacket and logged down the names on the computer.
Bed 1 Qiu Tao, Bed 2 Yu Yingying, Bed 3 Wang Hui, Bed 4 Chu Xia, Teacher Ma.
Han Fei searched for a long time before he finally found something.
Yi Ming Private Academy's Room 401 did exist in real life. The names of the 4 girls matched.
Among them, the girl in Bed 4 was called Chu Xia. She was the girl whose face was scratched by Jing Sheng. Her boyfriend was the ruffian who committed suicide at Yi Ming Private Academy (see Chapter 133 for details).
Before Yi Ming Private Academy was sealed, there was only one teacher with the surname Ma, he was the language teacher of Grade 1 Class 1, Ma Manjiang.
'Qiu Tao in Bed 1 is a student from Class 1. Her class is listed on the notebook. Other than that, she left a message for Ma Manjiang on the back of the notebook. The silly girl probably still has no idea that she has been tricked by Ma Manjiang.'
Han Fei continued to investigate and he found something even more shocking.
Ma Manjiang did have a son, his name was Ma Bo. Many years ago, Ma Bo was diagnosed with schizophrenia, he had 4 personas.
Everything corresponded to the game. In the game, there were 3 ghost children attached to Ma Manjiang's son. Including the main consciousness, they had 4 personas.
'Looks like everything is connected now.'
'Ma Manjiang is an old monster. As a teacher, he had an affair with Qiu Tao. Other than that, he appeared to have tricked Chu Xia into the gym.
"He did something very bad, but it was seen by another student who happened to be hiding in the gym. To keep the secret, he and his child wanted to find that student. '
Han Fei stared at the computer screen. Many thoughts appeared in his mind. He jotted down all the information that he found on the internet. Then he tore down the pictures of the human jigsaw case and started to paste new ones on the wall.
'In real life, 4 people have died at Yi Ming High School.
The first victim was a security guard. This person does not appear to be related to Ma Manjiang.
The second victim was Jin Sheng's class teacher. She was a new female teacher. Her name was Liu Lina. She was Ma Manjiang's wife.
The third victim was a ruffian. This ruffian was Chu Xia's boyfriend and Chu Xia was tricked into the gym by Ma Manjiang.
'The last victim was Jin Sheng. At first glance, Jin Sheng did not appear to be related to the whole incident but why was he killed? Could it be that he was the one who saw Ma Manjiang's secret while hiding inside the gym? '
Han Fei came to a conclusion. All the victims at Yi Ming Private Academy did not commit suicide but were killed by Ma Manjiang and his child.
'Something is still not right.'
Following the timeline, Han Fei realized things were not as simple as he thought. He stumbled upon a piece of news.
Long after Yi Ming Private Academy was shut down, the 4 girls from Room 401 were murdered one after another. Everything was like a curse from a ghost story.
However, the police later confirmed that the killer was Ma Manjiang's child, Ma Bo. Ma Bo seemed to know his ending, he committed suicide at home.
Everyone who was involved in the incident had been killed. Ma Manjiang was the only one who hadn't received the punishment he deserved.
The sun was already up. After a rough guess, he took out his phone to call Li Xue.
After a few rings, Li Xue's voice came from the phone. She sounded like she was still asleep.
"Li Xue, can you bring me to meet your teacher today? I have a case that I wish to discuss with him. "
"The human jigsaw case has been handed over to the criminal investigation unit. My teacher is no longer involved, he's about to retire …"
"It's another case, it's related to Yi Ming Private Academy."
"Yi Ming Private Academy?" Li Xue finally woke up. "My teacher's health is very poor, he needs regular treatment. I'll bring you to meet him this afternoon."
"Okay, thank you." Hanging up the phone, Han Fei soon fell asleep on the bed.
