“Let me see,” Fearful said, “it should be in s400 if I remember correctly.”

On hearing this, the girl who has been leaning against the corner of the wall let out an “Eh”.

When everyone turned to look at her, the girl’s face flushed and she said quietly, “I died in s400. You’re called Fearful, right? Do you remember the month you died?”

Fearful: “It was almost time for the winter vacation. I didn’t want to cause trouble, so I chose a weekend.”

The girl: “Then I died before you. I died in the autumn of s400.”

Fearful hesitated for a moment, but gritted his teeth and said, “I know.”

Girl: “What?”

Fearful: “I know when you died, it was widespread in the school, but we were students so we didn’t know the cause of your death. We only heard that you were stressed from your studies but didn’t open up about it and became insane.”

“A long time later, there was a new rumor that you died because a teacher…”

Fearful stopped talking, and didn’t go on.

The girl pursed her lips and pulled her skirt tighter with both hands. She abruptly raised her head and said, “Yes, I was molested at the time.”

“There was a mock art exam the next week, so I practiced in the dance studio that night.”

“Then the devil suddenly appeared.”

“He put on a kind face and showed that he cared about me, advising me not to be too stressed,” the girl said, her eyes turning red. “It’s the teacher I’ve always admired; I assumed he was checking on me.”

“But then things suddenly changed.”

“I didn’t commit suicide!” The girl’s words suddenly shocked everyone.

“He didn’t stop at molesting me; but he actually raped me.”

“When I was fighting, I would scream that I would tell the police and rip off his mask in front of everyone.”

“Just then, a teacher with a flashlight ran over when he heard the voice, and the scum was so startled that he pushed me through the window.”

“I don’t know what happened afterwards but I suddenly found myself trapped in this dance studio.”

Fearful covered his mouth in horror: “So you didn’t commit suicide, you were murdered.”

“So it was the PE teacher who killed you? He was arrested for indecency. I heard that he was sentenced to several years in prison.”

“What PE teacher?” the girl asked, frowning. “It wasn’t the PE teacher who abused me!”

In a word, everyone present was stunned once again.

“Your death caused a great stir in school; at first, it was said that you were too stressed, but your parents did not believe it.” Fearful looked at the girl and organized his words before saying, “Your parents thought that it was impossible for you to commit suicide because you knew how to handle stress. And your clothes were… uh, a little messy.”

“Later, the police checked surveillance and conducted investigations, and it was discovered that the PE teacher entered the laboratory building at that time, and you jumped off the building not long after.”

“Later, the police found a torn fabric from your clothes at the P.E teacher’s house, as well as a witness.”

“Witness? Who are you talking about?” The girl asked hurriedly.

Fearful tried hard to recall, but still shook his head with regret: “I don’t know.”

“We were students at that time, and I had next to no friends, so I didn’t get much gossip. I only heard things from those who bullied me.”

Fearful went silent and didn’t say anything more.

In fact, he heard more than that.

What he heard was worse than this.

After bullying him, those bullies stepped on his feet, and started talking about it.

With slanders like “little bitch,” “cheap teacher,” “she was already seductive so early in development,” “if a cheap teacher could get it, we might as well have tasted it,” and so on.

He couldn’t explain why, but when he heard those words, he became violent and did things he’d never done before.

As a result, he got heavier beatings.

Those people hurt him more and more in the months that followed. He became physically and mentally exhausted as a result of the constant verbal and physical torture and eventually went down a path of no return.

Girl: “Although it has been a long time, I still remember the past vividly.”

“I remember very clearly that it was that scum, Huang Xiaolian, who molested me; he was already a vice principal at the time. I’m trapped here, and I don’t even know where the person is.”

“The PE teacher was probably the teacher with the flashlight.”

“He was framed.”

Bai Lixin lowered his eyes and repeated the man’s name: “Huang Xiaolian, was he the one who took your brooch?”

The girl: “Yes, he took my brooch.”

“I seem to have an impression of this name,” Bai Lixin said, holding his chin. “The school doctor had a group photo of all the teachers in the school. I seem to have seen this name on it.”

“I’ll confirm it tomorrow.”

Fearful turned to Bai Lixin and begged, “God Xin, I know you are very powerful; if you find this person, could you please help me find my goddess’s brooch?”

[Ding!]

The system prompt rang out.

[Congratulations, player Bai Lixin for triggering the task, [The Lost brooch]. Please help the ghost find her precious brooch. The difficulty of this task is A. You will be rewarded 12000 mall points upon completion.]

[Friendly reminder: You will not be punished by the system for failing to complete the task.]

[Accept/Reject]

After pressing [Accept], Bai Lixin opened his mouth to answer Fearful but the girl suddenly asked: “Isn’t it too troublesome? Is that person still in school after so many years?”

“Where are you going to look?”

Bai Lixin looked at the shy girl with a soothing look in his eyes. “You should always try everything. How can you know if you don’t try?”

“I’m going to look for clues, and I hope for a good result.”

The girl really wanted to get the brooch back and seeing that Bai Lixin didn’t refuse, she didn’t ask any more questions and quickly thanked him.

They had helped Fearful find his body, helped the girl have her long cherished dream of a dance duet, and also helped Fearful make his confession. Tonight’s trip to the laboratory building had come to an end.

After saying farewell to Fearful and the girl, Bai Lixin returned to the dormitory with the unconscious Appleface.

It was 2 o’clock in the morning, the darkest hour.

There was no light on the whole campus.

Even the sound of the wind and cicadas had vanished; everything appeared to be still, and the surroundings were deafeningly quiet.

Xia Chi and Liang Xi followed Bai Lixin stiffly. Several people were walking along the dark path when Bai Lixin abruptly stopped and looked in one direction for a few seconds.

Xia Chi became nervous right away. He approached Bai Lixin and asked quietly, “Brother, what’s wrong?”

Bai Lixin averted his gaze and continued on his way. “Nothing,” he said calmly as he walked along, “that was where the player climbed over the wall yesterday.”

Oh, so it was just a death scene.

Su Fan’s cold voice came over just as Xia Chi and Liang Xi were about to breathe a sigh of relief, “Something flashed a moment ago.”

Xia Chi’s falling heart went up again, even reaching his throat.

‘What flashed by?

What was it? Could it be the ghost that frightened the player?! Fuck, that thing won’t attack us, would it?!

I’m worried.

Can God Xin kill that ghost?’

Xia Chi and Liang Xi looked at each other. Eh, how strange, they stopped feeling anxious all of a sudden.

———————–

In the live broadcast room.

[Hahaha, Xia Chi will make me laugh to death.]

[The sudden calm could be seen with the naked eye.]

[Follow the boss to eat meat and drink soup. Life is great.]

[But don’t you feel that the white shadow that flashed by is familiar?]

[What?! Something really flashed by? I thought boss Su Fan was just scaring Xia Chi and Liang Xi.]

[I didn’t see it clearly, but I saw a shadow flash by.]

[Come on, no matter what kind of ghost it is, I still say it is a good ghost when it meets God Xin.]

————————

After throwing Appleface at the door of the dormitory, the group crept to dormitory 501 without looking back.

Neither the red clothed ghost, nor the ghost that eats its kind appeared, and the corridor was quiet.

Aside from being too dark, the place didn’t seem any different from normal dormitories.

It was nearly three o’clock in the morning, and the four hurriedly tidied up and went to bed.

Bai Lixin lay in his bed, and his mind went over the information obtained during this period of time.

According to the time displayed in the morgue of the clinic, this year should be s432.

The girl died in s400, 32 years ago.

Fearful died in the same year, but after his suicide, his body was dismembered.

Was there any connection between the close times of death, as well as the dismemberment of Fearful’s body?

Bai Lixin opened the taskbar and went to the first task that had not been completed.

[Exploration task: Unfulfilled wish]

[Please help Xiao Jing give his best friend Sheng Er, a gift[pen]. The difficulty of this task is at B. You will be rewarded 6000 mall points upon completion of this task.]

Bai Lixin looked at this task in contemplation. One of the teachers on patrol was called Teacher Sheng. Was the name a coincidence, or was it Sheng Er mentioned in the first task?

[Sheng Er] Are these two characters a surname or a nickname?

It seems that there were still many clues to be unearthed.

While thinking, Bai Lixin felt the bed sink slightly. When he turned around, he saw a handsome face with smooth lines.

The man’s white hair cast a dim light in the darkness. He approached Bai Lixin and gripped him tightly, rendering him speechless.

“Why are you here again?” Bai Lixin asked in a whisper.
