Jing Sheng was the most important person at Yi Ming Private Academy, he was the key to all the ghost stories. In real life, he was the first to foresee death and warned the people around him in the form of ghost stories.
Even though the tragedy still happened in the end, at least he tried his best to change things.
Han Fei did not waste even a second. He opened the doors of the classrooms one by one.
The monster similar to Ma Manjiang could arrive at any moment. Hesitation would be suicide.
Without the key, he would have to resort to violence. To find Jing Sheng, Han Fei could not care less.
Every second counted. Han Fei entered the last classroom.
The podium in the lab was large. Underneath it was a cupboard. Normally, it would be filled with miscellaneous items.
"Jing Sheng?"
Han Fei asked softly. There was no response from the cupboard.
He reached out and opened the cabinet. Balls of crumpled paper rolled out of the cabinet.
Han Fei bent down to look inside the cupboard. Jing Sheng was not inside, instead there was a pile of paper.
'I've checked all the classrooms on the 4th floor, where has he gone?'
Han Fei picked up a random ball of paper. He opened it and glanced at it. His eyes were glued to it.
Lines of words were written on the back of the exercise books and papers. Connecting the sentences together, it looked like a horror story.
"I saw the school's security patrolling at night, he's the only security here. I kindly warned him to stay away from the hostel and canteen but he refused to listen. Now his body is getting worse and worse, and his body is crawling with ghosts. "
"I saw 3 children following behind Ma Bo, they are his 3 dead brothers. The doctor said he has schizophrenia but only I know he's not crazy, he's more sane than anyone else.
"I saw the stray dog outside the school trying to please the leaves of summer. Unfortunately, summer will eventually pass. The stray dog might not survive this winter.
"I saw a ghost living in the female hostel's staircase. He would appear after the hostel manager left to lure Eve to eat the forbidden fruit.
"I saw Mr. Ma at school with two different faces, one like a human and the other like a ghost."
There were many similar balls of paper. All of them started with 'I saw it'. It was as if the writer had really seen everything.
"This should be left behind by Jin Sheng. All the ghost stories and ghost stories have become reality at this school. No, I should say that the things that happened in real life were recorded by Jin Sheng using ghost stories. "
Reading Jin Sheng's words, the reader would probably think that it was a child's nightmare.
But after understanding what really happened at Yi Ming Private Academy, one would realize that the so-called nightmare was much more gentle compared to reality.
Jin Sheng described everything from a child's perspective, wrapping the gore and cruelty in the guise of a ghost story.
Using his superhuman memory, Han Fei memorized every single ball of paper in his mind.
He wanted to find a solution from these ghost stories.
When half of his body was in the cupboard, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Notification for Player 0000! You've discovered a damaged Grade G Cursed Object — Jin Sheng's Exercise Book. "
Looking at the object that his fingers touched, Han Fei found an exercise book deep inside the cupboard.
The homework had been torn very thin, and only a few pages were left.
'While hiding inside the cupboard, Jin Sheng recorded the ghost stories in this exercise book? The torn pieces of paper are discarded. What he really wanted to express … should still be in the exercise book. "
He picked up the exercise book and flipped through it. The words that entered his eyes made him uncomfortable.
There was a self-reflection in the workbook.
"Dear Mr. Ma, I'm writing this self-reflection with regret and guilt. I shouldn't have made up those fake stories and I shouldn't have lied.
"This is a very deep reflection. In the future, I will not tell ghost stories to scare my classmates anymore, and I will not lie about the ghost stories being real for the sake of my own vanity."
"I hope the teacher and the students can forgive me and I hope the students will not make the same stupid mistake as me. This is a big lesson.
"I'm sorry, I apologize again."
All the ghost stories were torn out of the exercise book and crumpled into a ball of paper. Only this self-reflection remained.
'The person he's apologizing to is Mr. Ma. Looks like Mr. Ma already knows that Jin Sheng has discovered all his secrets but he did not do anything to Jin Sheng. Instead, he used this method to torture Jin Sheng.'
Ma Manjiang's method was very familiar to Han Fei. In the human jigsaw case, the Butterfly and the rest did the same thing to the homeless man.
They purposely had the homeless man leak information but among the human jigsaw case victims, other than You Fu, none of them paid any attention to the homeless man.
'What is the relationship between Ma Manjiang and the Butterfly?'
Jin Sheng was not inside the cupboard, Han Fei had no idea where the man had gone. The only clue he had was the exercise book.
Han Fei continued to flip through the pages. Just as he was about to give up hope, he found another paragraph on the last page of the exercise book.
This sentence was written at the end of the exercise book. The handwriting was neat and tidy. It was clear that the writer had put a lot of effort into it.
"It's dark all around me, I can't see anything. There's no light but I can feel the pills under my body.
I feel like I'm falling asleep. I see everyone appear inside the cupboard.
They're asking me why I didn't reach out to grab them when I saw them.
"I don't know how to answer them. Even I can't believe my own story anymore."
After reading the last sentence, Han Fei's emotions were complicated. 'In the end, Jin Sheng himself has become a ghost story at school.'
He was about to sigh when his eyes landed on the word — cupboard.
'It's dark all around me. Jin Sheng said that the people in his story all appear inside the cupboard, so he must be hiding inside one of the cupboards.'
'There's no light but I can feel the pills under my body … Could he be hiding inside the cupboard at the infirmary?' After completing this mission, Han Fei would probably be traumatized by the cupboard. He would prepare himself before he opened the cupboard just in case he found an unfamiliar body behind it.
"Ol 'Lee, where is the school's infirmary?"
"It's on the second floor of the office building." Ol 'Lee also saw the ball of paper on the floor. "Is this a student prank?"
"Let's go take a look at the office first."
Han Fei picked up all the paper balls and shoved them into Jin Sheng's exercise book. He thought it would be more convenient to carry them that way but to his surprise, he received a system notification.
Just like that, the Grade G Cursed Object was pieced back together by Han Fei.
Jin Sheng's exercise book was the most gentle Cursed Object Han Fei had ever encountered. It did not radiate any resentment or pain. However, when Han Fei held it, he would feel an inexplicable sadness.
