"Both of you, calm down first!" Si Yu saw that the two of them couldn't speak clearly, so he tried his best to speak in a gentle tone. "Take a deep breath and speak slowly. Don't rush."
Baek Dong-yang heard Si Yu's words and took a deep breath with Si Yu. He seemed to relax a little, but he was still very agitated.
Xia Hang was still in a state of alert. Gu Xizhou could feel his fear.
He was very afraid!
Gu Xizhou felt strange. Xia Hang was not a newbie. It was normal for one or two people to die in a mission world. Gu Xizhou patted Xia Hang's shoulder with one hand. Xia Hang trembled. He turned around and saw Gu Xizhou. Only then did he calm down a little.
Gu Xizhou asked, "Did you do anything special?"
Baek Dong-yang calmly stopped and thought for a long time. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "No, after we asked for directions, we walked straight in that direction. We didn't step on anything on the way. Anyway, it was very sudden. We were with her the whole time and didn't do anything!"
Gu Xizhou had just finished asking when Si Yu tacitly asked, "Was there anything special when Kong Lingling died? What else did you notice? "
Baek Dong-yang didn't even need to think. His face was pale. "I think I heard a crash. Something seemed to have hit Kong Lingling!"
"Hit?" Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows.
Gu Xizhou wasn't surprised. He looked up. "Tell me more."
"Just now, the three of us were walking on the road when she suddenly fell to the ground and screamed. When we looked again, she was already dead." Baek Dong-yang explained with a pale face. Gu Xizhou could feel his fear, the fear of the unknown.
Xia Hang nodded. His body was trembling slightly and his face was pale.
"Let's go and take a look," Gu Xizhou said to Si Yu in a declarative tone.
Si Yu looked at Xia Hang and Baek Dong-yang and knew that he couldn't get anything useful out of them. He nodded to Gu Xizhou and said, "Okay."
"Go straight ahead and turn left!"
After Baek Dong-yang and Xia Hang told them the way, Gu Xizhou, Si Yu, and Fang Zhi rushed to the scene and saw Kong Lingling lying in a pool of blood.
Kong Lingling's eyes were wide open and her mouth was agape. Her neck was broken and her body twisted as if there were no bones inside. Her body was twisted like a fried dough twist and blood flowed all over the ground.
Gu Xizhou stepped forward and squatted down to examine Kong Lingling's death. Wasn't this too tragic?
Gu Xizhou was lost in thought when he suddenly heard Fang Zhi say —
"Gu Ge, she seems to have been hit by a car."
Before Gu Xizhou could ask, Fang Zhi continued to explain, "When I was studying, I came across a big truck hit-and-run case. Kong Lingling's body seemed to have been rolled under the big truck's wheels and crushed. Look at the places where her body was crushed. There are some lines."
"They look like tire marks," Gu Xizhou said after a moment of silence.
This was why Kong Lingling suddenly fell to the ground and screamed. She was probably hit by the "big truck" and her body was crushed to death. Although they could determine the way Kong Lingling died based on their experience as a criminal police officer, they couldn't determine the cause of death.
Gu Xizhou stood up and walked to Si Yu's side as he muttered to himself, "What's the cause of death?"
After hearing Gu Xizhou's words, Si Yu seemed to be lost in thought. He thought for a moment, then patted Gu Xizhou's shoulder and said, "Let's go back first."
"Okay." Gu Xizhou nodded. When he was about to leave, Si Yu suddenly called Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi.
"What's wrong?" Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi turned around and asked at the same time.
Si Yu lowered his voice and said to the two of them, "Follow these students."
"Okay." Gu Xizhou nodded.
Fang Zhi also nodded.
They didn't know what the cause of death for Kong Lingling was, but looking at the current situation, it was very likely to be related to the road.
In front of the three of them was a young female student. The three of them followed behind the girl until they safely reached the library. They saw Baek Dong-yang and Xia Hang, who were still standing at the same place, and Cheng Yue, who was sweating profusely.
"What did you find after looking at the body?" Cheng Yue had obviously heard about Kong Lingling's death from Xia Hang and Baek Dong-yang. He immediately asked when he saw Gu Xizhou and the other two.
"We saw Kong Lingling's state of death. It seems like she was crushed to death by a car." Gu Xizhou explained, "Her flesh was crushed to the ground, and there were tire marks."
"Car?" Cheng Yue was stunned. He looked around, "There are no cars in the school …"
Gu Xizhou nodded. Si Yu explained, "It should be the rule of death. She triggered the cause of death."
Less than half a second after he finished speaking, Si Yu turned to look at Xia Hang and Baek Dong-yang, who had already calmed down, and said, "She must have done something that you didn't do. Think about it carefully. This is very important. Otherwise, who knows if we would suddenly die like her on the road!"
Baek Dong-yang was silent. He scratched his head and thought for a long time. He shook his head, "No, the three of us were together after we separated. We didn't do anything else. We were also together when we asked for directions!"
Xia Hang, "Really, we didn't do anything. We were looking for the possibility of seeing that woman on the road as we walked, but we didn't do anything …"
Cheng Yue was obviously disappointed when he heard their words. He rubbed his forehead in annoyance and said, "This is a rubbish mission world. What the hell is going on!"
At this moment, the atmosphere was stagnant. It was obvious that their expressions were not good. Kong Lingling had suddenly died on the road. If they couldn't find the cause of death, they might trigger the cause of death for no reason when they walked around the school!
"I don't know if this counts as different," Baek Dong-yang suddenly said after a long silence, "She was walking in front of me and Xia Hang. Yes, in front."
Gu Xizhou recalled the position where he saw Kong Lingling's body. "Did she turn left or right before you?"
"Yes! Yes, we were walking at the intersection. If we turned right, we would have reached the sports field. She turned right first and then suddenly fell to the ground! "Baek Dong-yang seemed to have thought of something." Will we die if we turn right? "
Si Yu shook her head, "No, the position you're talking about. Just now, the three of us went straight to the library and turned left. When we came back, we followed behind a girl and turned right."
"And all of us turned right in the school." Si Yu raised her eyebrows and shook her head as she said softly.
Gu Xizhou also nodded. If they said that they would die if they turned right, this condition was too easy to achieve!
"Do you remember how the student who showed you the way to the sports field told you?" Si Yu asked.
Baek Dong-yang and Xia Hang looked at each other and revealed a look of reminiscence.
"We came out of the cafeteria and didn't know the way, so we asked a girl for directions. She told us to turn left from the cafeteria and walk straight, then turn right and walk straight, then turn left … then turn right and walk straight!"
Xia Hang recalled, "I decided there was no problem!"
Gu Xizhou heard Xia Hang's words and shook his head, "No, there was a problem!"
"What's the problem?" Xia Hang asked blankly.
Gu Xizhou pointed at the cafeteria not far from them and raised his eyebrows, "See that? You can see the library from the cafeteria. This is a straight path. Just now, we walked straight from the library to the sports field and turned left to reach the place where Kong Lingling died. In other words, other than the path that the student told you, you only need to walk straight, turn right, turn left, and turn right to reach your destination. "
Fang Zhi heard this and frowned for a moment before saying, "The condition of death should be related to the path taken?!"
Si Yu nodded, "How about this, we'll follow these students and see how they walk. See which paths they don't take and eliminate the condition of death. You can ask the students along the way for a piece of paper and write it down!"
"What about the others?" Cheng Yue lowered his voice and asked. There were only eight people here, and three of them were not!
Gu Xizhou said in a low voice, "When following these students, if you see them, remind them. Don't walk blindly if you don't know the path of death. "
"Oh right, we met Qi Fei in the library just now. Qi Fei said the woman he saw had long hair." Gu Xizhou told Cheng Yue the information he had just asked. "That woman went to the school building."
"Then let's go to the school building! We were fine when we came here! "Xia Hang suggested.
Si Yu shook his head, "We passed by the school building this morning, but when we went back, the left and right paths were reversed. No one can be sure that it's not the path of death. We have to eliminate the condition of death first."
"I agree," Gu Xizhou said.
The rest of his companions also agreed. Perhaps it was because of Kong Lingling's death, Xia Hang was still very afraid of the road and trembled when he walked.
Gu Xizhou looked around and was silent for a moment before he said to everyone, "Oh right, don't follow people continuously. When they enter the building, follow them in and then come out again."
When Si Yu heard this, she looked at Gu Xizhou with a little admiration in her eyes. She added in a pleasant voice, "Yes, entering the building with those students is equivalent to clearing the path to zero. If you don't clear the path to zero and casually follow others, you might accidentally trigger the path of death!"
"Okay!" Cheng Yue looked at Gu Xizhou and was a little surprised. He had not thought of this at all and only wanted to remember the path.
"I'll follow him," Gu Xizhou said casually as he pointed at a boy in a basketball uniform who was holding a basketball.
He memorized the path as he walked. Left, right, left … left …
After walking for about half an hour, Gu Xizhou met Si Yu on the road. They followed two different people into the same male dormitory. As no one left the dormitory, the two of them did not dare to walk around casually and simply sat on the stairs at the entrance of the dormitory.
"These are the people I'm following. Take a look." Gu Xizhou memorized the path as he walked and finally found a student in the library to write down the path.
"Okay." Si Yu nodded and took the things in Gu Xizhou's hands and slowly looked through them.
Cicadas were clamoring outside and the sun was shining brightly. The two of them sat on the stairs. Gu Xizhou supported his chin with one hand and stared at Si Yu.
The man's eyes were illuminated by the sunlight and reflected a faint glow. The shadows of the trees fell on his cheeks and the light and shadow intertwined, making his skin look very fair and translucent.
Gu Xizhou glanced at him. No wonder NPCs were always bewitched by gigolos. This face really did look like a young man in white and was very charming.
"It should be left, right, left!"
