Ma Yu gulped. If not for the fact that Gu Ran did not meet the death criteria, he believed that 'it' would have torn Gu Ran apart.
Ma Yu, "…"
"Clang!" After a series of loud noises, Gu Xizhou looked down at the mangled corpse downstairs, his face full of calmness.
Gu Xizhou turned around and saw Ma Yu and the rest staring at him.
"He, he's that ghost!" Li He pointed at Gu Xizhou and the other students beside him.
Gu Xizhou looked at him for a while before turning to Ma Yu and saying pitifully, "I'm actually very scared too. I'm not a ghost, he's lying!"
Ma Yu, "… I believe him … really."
Si Yao Xing glanced at Gu Xizhou. His deadpan face couldn't help but smile.
The bell rang and Ma Yu sat at the back, staring at Gu Xizhou on his left. If this person isn't a ghost, then he's too daring! But … before he lost his memory, he had always been very daring and didn't believe in ghosts and gods.
After the experience of the previous night, Li He was on tenterhooks, trembling with fear as he stared at Gu Xizhou's back.
Si Yao Xing sat beside Gu Xizhou and glanced at Gu Xizhou. "You're quite lucky. If I'm not wrong, it was looking for you yesterday. Lu Bing is really unlucky to have caught it. Are you …"
Gu Xizhou heard Si Yao Xing's suspicions and immediately denied it. "I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense!"
Si Yao Xing, "… Forget it, you don't have to explain."
After class, Gu Xizhou went to the cafeteria with Ma Yu and the rest to eat. No one sat down immediately and seemed to be waiting for Gu Xizhou to choose his seat.
Gu Xizhou thought for a moment, picked a seat with the food in his hand, and sat down. The others immediately sat down as well. Because Lu Bing had died yesterday, there were only ten people left for the mission. The tables in the cafeteria could only seat four people. In order not to sit at the same table as Gu Xizhou, they all occupied seats faster than aunties on the bus.
Si Yao Xing, on the other hand, was very understanding and said, "There's no need to fight, I'll sit with him."
Ma Yu looked at Si Yao Xing in embarrassment.
Si Yao Xing sat opposite Gu Xizhou and quietly ate the food on his plate.
After eating, Gu Xizhou looked up and noticed that Si Yaoxing's ears were perked up like a standing groundhog. Gu Xizhou had seen that GIF on Si Yaoxing's phone.
Gu Xizhou: "What's wrong?"
Si Yao Xing placed his index finger on his thin lips and gestured for him to keep quiet.
Four unfamiliar students were chatting softly across the table. Gu Xizhou realized that Si Zhaoxing was eavesdropping and he pricked up his ears.
"Xiang Xiaoxiao died yesterday, did you guys know?"
"The day before she died, she said that Lin Yuan came back to take revenge. The next day, she committed suicide by jumping off a building. Do you guys think it was Lin Yuan?"
"She … What revenge did she have? Isn't the person who raped her already dead? "
A girl among the four students said coldly, "That might not be the case."
Gu Xizhou listened for a while. This Si Yao Xing had heard about the situation from Xiang Xiaoxiao. He had heard that after the police came to the school to investigate the case, he couldn't stand the students pointing fingers at him and committed suicide within two days. He had died a week earlier than Lin Yuan.
Gu Xizhou: "Don't you guys already know about this?"
Si Yao Xing said lightly, "What we know might not be the truth."
Gu Xizhou then saw Si Yao Xing holding a plate and walking to the side of the few students who were really talking just now. The plate in his hand was slightly tilted and the oil on the plate fell onto the girl's clothes. Si Yao Xing immediately apologized to the girl hypocritically.
The girl was very angry but when she saw Si Yao Xing's face, the anger on her face disappeared.
Gu Xizhou: "…"
Ma Yu: "…" My eyes must have been playing tricks on me.
After coming out of the canteen, Ma Yu gave Si Yao Xing a thumbs up with a strange expression.
There were only two ways to leave the mission world. The first was to kill 'it' and the second was to fulfill 'its' wish.
In this mission world, because the person who raped 'her' was already dead, he had been wondering what unfulfilled wish 'her' had. If she wanted to kill everyone who talked about 'her' behind her back, then there would be too many people who would have to die.
It didn't fit the mission world's style.
After Si Yao Xing's indirect questioning, the girl finally relented and they finally got an important piece of information!
Ma Yu sorted out the information he had collected and said with some distress, "Since the boy who jumped off the building might not be the one who raped 'her', then who was the one who raped 'her'? We still don't have a clue! "
Just when everyone was at a loss, Gu Xizhou's words woke them up. "Then let's investigate the boy who jumped off the building. He was taken away by the police because of the rape case. He might not be the one, but he must know something. Otherwise, the police wouldn't have gone looking for him, right?"
Ma Yu was stunned and slapped his thigh. "That's right, why didn't I think of that! My brain is really clouded by the situation. I've been investigating cases for so many years for nothing! "
"Brother Ma, so you're a police officer. No wonder you take care of us so much! "
Xiao Lian, who was beside him, blurted out.
The girls' eyes sparkled. Brother Ma seemed to have become taller and more imposing.
Gu Xizhou didn't know if it was his imagination, but he felt that when Xiao Lian mentioned the word 'police', Li He's expression seemed to have become a little nervous.
Ma Yu smiled helplessly. He didn't feel that it was inappropriate to reveal his identity as a police officer. He interrupted the girls and brought the boys directly to the evening self-study room to find out more about the boy who committed suicide.
"No, he's been dead for so long. Why are you asking about him?" The students were less afraid of the boy's death compared to Lin Yuan. They were more disgusted with it.
Gu Xizhou replied, "Oh, nothing. I'm just curious. Oh right, where did he sit?"
The student pointed to the table at the back and said, "Over there. He's dead, but his parents didn't clean up his table. The other students didn't want to sit in his seat, so it's been empty."
Before Gu Xizhou could move, Ma Yu rushed over and took out everything in the drawer. He counted them one by one. They were all third-year high school exercise books and test papers.
Gu Xizhou took a look and commented, "His results are quite good."
Ma Yu was speechless. Was that the main point?!
The student beside him heard and sneered, "Isn't that so? Before this incident, he was our English class representative. His results were good, and he was the teacher's favorite good boy. Who knew that he was such a person behind the scenes?"
Gu Xizhou couldn't help but recall the scene of the female teacher slapping Xiang Xiaoxiao. He wasn't the only one who thought of it. The others also thought of it!
After leaving the classroom, the few of them snuck into the third-year teacher's office. After searching for a while, they finally found the English teacher's desk.
After searching around, Gu Xizhou found the English teacher's name list. The first name on the list was crossed out three times. Her name was Zhou Liu. Behind the name list was a record of her results. As expected, Zhou Liu's results were very good. She always scored around 140 points in her English exams. She should be the person they were looking for.
After searching for a while, they found an English diary that belonged to Zhou Liu.
Ma Yu held Zhou Liu's English diary helplessly. "I didn't learn this before …"
Si Yaoxing replied, "I learned middle school."
Gu Xizhou rolled his eyes at Si Yaoxing. As if he would believe him. He said, "I lost English a few hundred years ago. I don't know it!"
It really was a few hundred years. Gu Xizhou silently added in his heart.
At this moment, Xiaotian stepped forward and took the English diary from Ma Yu. "I'm an English major."
After someone translated, Gu Xizhou and the others finally understood the contents of the diary.
"I'm going to be a third-year student today. I'll definitely study hard! I won't let my parents down … "
"A toast to tomorrow and a toast to the past. I won't let myself down! All the best! "
After reading the diary's contents, the few of them fell silent.
If it weren't for the girl and the diary, they might have continued to believe that the boy was a rapist. However, after reading the diary, such a positive person made it difficult for them to associate the boy with such a person.
Of course, they couldn't rule out the possibility that the diary was written for the English teacher.
The English diary didn't contain any information about the cause of his death, nor did it contain anything about 'her'.
Gu Xizhou thought for a while but couldn't come up with any useful information. The few of them decided to return to the dormitory first.
After Ma Yu settled the others down, he entered Room 106. Gu Xizhou was lying on the bed playing Si Yaoxing's mobile game. He even hummed from time to time.
Seeing this, Ma Yu asked Si Yaoxing who was lying on the other bed, "Are the two of you sleeping tonight too?"
Si Yaoxing nodded.
Ma Yu was speechless …
How much sleep did the two of them not have enough …?
"Alright, be careful." Ma Yu reminded them. "There's no one to accompany you tonight."
"Got it, Police Uncle." Si Yaoxing waved his hand.
After Ma Yu returned to the dormitory, he saw Li He who was like a frightened bird after Lu Bing's death. He hesitated for a moment and thought of what happened last night. He comforted him helplessly. "Don't take Lu Bing's incident to heart. The lifespan obtained in the mission world is like borrowing life from the heavens. He just didn't manage to borrow it."
Li He nodded stiffly. He took out a cigarette from nowhere and lit it up. After smoking for a while, Li He suddenly turned to look at Ma Yu. "Brother Ma, can you accompany me to the toilet? I'm afraid of being alone. "
Ma Yu agreed without hesitation. At the toilet door, Li He passed a cigarette to Ma Yu. "Brother Ma, you can smoke and wait for me outside. I'll be done soon."
"Alright." Ma Yu took the cigarette. After Li He went in, he took out a lighter from his bag and lit it up. He skillfully exhaled a cloud of smoke at the toilet door.
In Room 106, Gu Xizhou continued to play on his phone after Ma Yu left. Suddenly, the alarm on his phone rang.
"It's my bedtime alarm," Si Yaoxing explained. He then looked at Gu Xizhou and asked, "Do you want to sleep with the lights off?"
Gu Xizhou nodded at him. He returned the phone to Si Yaoxing and lay on the bed, preparing to fall asleep.
Not long after, Gu Xizhou heard some sounds in a daze. The wind rustled the branches outside, making the night exceptionally quiet.
"Wake up." Si Yaoxing patted Gu Xizhou and woke him up.
"Did you enter a dream?" Gu Xizhou did not sense any danger and asked casually.
Si Yaoxing nodded and answered Gu Xizhou's question. He then put on a jacket and said, "Accompany me to Room 308 to take a look."
"Sure."
Room 308 was Zhou Liu's dormitory number. Gu Xizhou agreed without hesitation.
Gu Xizhou put on his clothes and went out to take a look. Just as Si Yaoxing said, they had entered a dream. The corridor was dark and the lights were not on. They could only use the moonlight to barely see the road. Before Gu Xizhou left, he turned back to look at Room 105 next door.
The door was tightly shut.
The person next door was using his life to stay up late again.
The wind outside hit the glass and made a buzzing sound. The two of them went up to the third floor. Although the door of Room 308 was closed, it did not seem to be locked. Gu Xizhou pushed the door gently and it opened with a creak.
There was a boy sitting in the room. When he saw the two strangers who barged in, he asked in shock, "Who … who are you?"
