Fortunately, the time in the underworld and in the mortal world were different. It was only about 10 minutes after I returned to the classroom where the accident occurred, and Chen Ran's body was still lying on the ground.

Su Ye and Luo Li's cries still continued. I found the key and opened the cabinet. The two of them hugged each other and shrunk into a ball.

It wasn't easy for them to calm down a little, but in the end, they were frightened by Chen Ran's corpse. Naturally, I couldn't tell them that Chen Ran didn't really die, but I, who knew the truth couldn't cry as painfully as they did, so I could only lower my head and wait for them to finish crying.

After a while, I heard the belated sound of sirens, and I heard the sound of the police whistle downstairs, the sound of order.

When the police came to the scene, they took away the culprit. His hands and feet were already crippled, so the police dragged him away and left two shocking bloody marks on the ground. Looking at those two long bloody marks, I actually didn't feel any fear.

As we were witnesses at the scene, the three of us were taken away as well, probably because of some influence, instead of being taken directly to the police station, we were taken to the principal's office. I felt a little absent-minded, as some people might not even see the principal several times in four years of college, but I had already entered the principal's office for more than the first time.

Su Ye and Luo Li were still in shock, and had yet to recover from the shock. They tightly grabbed onto my hand, but the police didn't answer their questions, instead they continued to cry. The police probably felt that they could not get anything out of them, but seeing that the girls had gone through so much, they couldn't bear to say anything more.

My emotions were relatively flat, and although I was also sad, my sorrow had faded after Chen Ran was reborn. As for the fear, I have seen it too many times to find it strange.

"I'm afraid, but I'm more afraid of death." I tell the truth.

The police were obviously shocked by my words. A smile appeared on his face. "You were the one who hurt that murderer."

"Yes."

"You have so much strength, and yet you look so small. How ruthless." The policeman probably thought about the scars on the man's body and shuddered. He looked at me with fear in his eyes.

Although the one who did this wasn't me, I can't reveal Bai Jing. Moreover, if I were to use my power, I might be even more ruthless than him in the face of death.

"Only when you face death do you know how brave you can be." My tone was flat and my eyes were full of sincerity.

"That's true. You're still young, how can you be so mature? I didn't expect there to be such an interesting university student like you in this era." A policeman spoke up with a smile on his face.

I was a little taken aback. Interesting, did he misunderstand this word?

After returning to the dorm, I poured each of them a cup of hot water. Their gazes were dull as they looked at the hot air flowing out of the cups, without moving an inch. I wasn't in a hurry, this kind of thing had to be settled by themselves.

"Yu Xing, aren't you afraid? Aren't you sad? Why didn't you shed tears? You cried the most when Chen Ran died. We couldn't see it from the cabinet, but we could feel it. Luo Li held my hand and sobbed again and again.

"If you cry too much, you won't be able to cry anymore. Those who die won't be able to come back, so we have to be strong. After all, there are still a lot of things waiting for us to deal with tomorrow." I comforted Luo Li and wiped away the tears on her face with my finger.

"Chen Ran is so pitiful, he's still so young. Yu Xing, is there really nothing else after he dies? It would be too cruel to Chen Ran if that were to happen." Luo Li was a kind-hearted girl. Her world was filled with sunlight and she believed that everyone was beautiful. Every time I stayed with her for a while longer, I would believe that there would be another happiness in this world.

"Do you believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world? I believe that even though Chen Ran is no longer by our side, he must still exist in some place that we can't see. My eyes were firm.

Luo Li had already restrained her tears and her expression by the side had also eased up a little. I told her to rest for a bit longer and then went to take a bath.

After showering, we felt much better. Su Ye and Luo Li also washed up for a bit, and the three of us went out to eat.

At dinner, we received a call from the police officer in charge of the case today, saying that the case was progressing and would need our help. The three of us went straight to the police station as soon as we finished our meal.

It is said that he became insane because he took drugs and did some kind of crazy actions. It is said that the person himself was suffering from mental illness, and he is now a cripple. The case is still pending, and the specific decisions have yet to be made.

I remembered the criminal's behavior that day. I felt that something was wrong and asked to see the prisoner. The police hesitated before agreeing.

After being taken to the interrogation room, I was separated from the prisoners by the door, along with the police handlebars. He was pushed into the room in a wheelchair, and his eyes were blank and filled with fear.

The police may have been mistaken in thinking that I wanted to vent my anger on him, so they kept staring at us. I was speechless, but it wasn't good to refuse, so I just silently did it, carefully observing the criminal's actions. The criminal didn't even look at me once, or to be more accurate, he didn't even look at any of us.

Suddenly the criminal lunged at me, opened his mouth to bite, but the police held him on the ground. He could not budge on the ground, and his fierce eyes were fixed on me, his mouth muttering something, as if he were talking to himself, but he could not hear what I was saying.

The police, too, were frightened, and thinking he was ill again, hurried him back to his cell. I wondered why he had suddenly gone mad, and why, when he saw me, I could feel that his previous target had been me, and that he wanted to kill me.

"Why do you think he's crazy?" I asked the cop who had made the statement, curious.

"We found a strange cloth doll on his body, but he didn't let it go. You said that a grown man holding onto a cloth doll isn't crazy?"

"Cloth doll, can you let me have a look? Oh, don't misunderstand me. I feel like he has some sort of enmity towards me. I want to confirm if I have seen him before." Smiling coyly, I quickly explained.

"Oh, okay." The suspicion disappeared from the policeman's face when he heard my explanation.

After that, a policeman gave me a cloth doll in a transparent bag. More accurately, it was a little doll the size of a palm, but it was made very lifelike.

I always felt that the figurine was a little strange. It's mouth was split into a smile and that smile made my entire body feel uncomfortable. I silently memorized the figurine's appearance and decided to ask Bai Jing about it.
