CH 21

Xiao Lan had a suspicion when she saw the brand new room.

As he washed his face, he asked Luo, “Did you find anything wrong last night?”

Luo : “No, sir. I should say it was business as usual not only last night, but up until the laughter just now,”

That means they are here now quite abruptly and it seems like ten years ago, during that graduation trip.

After leaving the room Xiao Lan found that the layout was no different from when the player entered the game, except that it had been renovated and some of the furniture was placed differently.

At this time of year the hotel is doing much better than it will be ten years from now, and the corridors are full of not only students but also casual customers with different accents. This makes it easier for Xiao Lan to blend in with the crowd; after all, if there were only students, they would all know each other and the presence of a stranger would be very abrupt.

Xiao Lan wandered around the hotel with his cat like a normal tourist, keeping an eye on the conversations of the students in the neighbourhood.

Suddenly, a name came up that made him care.

“This is a Gu Mo bag, right? Wow! What a shitty brand of paper! It’s so badly packaged, only a poor person like her would use it, I wouldn’t dare to use it, it would definitely rot my hands.”

There was something familiar about the voice, but the tone was acerbic and annoying.

” Du Yuhui , that’s not good, is it?”

“What’s wrong with that? She dropped it herself and I can’t even look at it! Let’s see, a broken wallet, there’s only twenty dollars in it… Damn, I can’t believe someone only brought twenty dollars on their graduation trip… I’m laughing my ass off hahaha!!!”

Then there was a poof and something was thrown into the water.

“Oooh!!! And such a crappy phone that the paint is falling off and it’s still working.”

There was another poof.

“What’s this again? ‘The secret heart of a teenage girl’ Crap!!! That poor bastard actually has a love interest, let me see!!!”

“What are you doing, you guys!” Xiao Lan couldn’t help but utter.

He had only wanted to hear what Gu Mo’s classmates had to say about her, and to learn more about the level’s boss, but he had never expected to run into such a scene. He could only imagine how Gu Mo would be ridiculed if the contents of the diary were read out in public, especially if Du Yuhui, who was speaking, had a particularly unfriendly attitude.

Xiao Lan came around the corner and looked at Du Yuhui, standing near the courtyard pond. She was still short, a little thinner than she had been in ten years, but still not slim, with small eyes, pale eyebrows and a freckled face that was particularly annoying when combined with a mean demeanour.

Seeing that it was a fair and gentle young man who came out, a few girls next to her couldn’t help but peek over.

Du Yuhui was not ashamed to see someone coming, she raised her bag, which was a bit white from washing, and looked at Xiao Lan with a provocative expression: “None of your business!

That attitude, apart from the face, is a standard vicious female counterpart. Let’s hope she’s as hard-headed when she gets a call from Gu Mo in ten years’ time.

Xiao Lan didn’t say anything, he went forward and grabbed the bag from her hand, his strength was so strong that Du Yuhui’s hand was empty before she could react.

“Give me that!” She reached out to grab it, but Xiao Lan sidestepped it.

“You!” Du Yuhui was so angry that she jumped to her feet and, being a reckless person, turned around and grabbed a stone from the edge of the pond and threw it at Xiao Lan, deliberately aiming for his head.

In Du Yuhui’s mind, she was a girl, so what was the point of getting into a fight, as long as she cried first everyone would think she was being bullied.

Du Yuhui was proudly waiting to see Xiao Lan’s head bleed, but a black shadow suddenly appeared from nowhere next to her, and it was so fast that it lunged directly at her face.

“Ah…” Du Yuhui couldn’t help but scream as pain shot through her face and she reached up to her neck, which had three scratches on it, and she felt a handful of blood.

“Hitting! Killing people! !” She screamed as she bounced in place and fell straight into the pool with one inadvertent fall.

Fortunately, the pool was not deep enough to reach her waist, so she struggled for half a day to get to the shore, covered in mud and moss, and sat down on the grass to catch her breath. It seems that she is too mean and not very popular, and none of the girls next to her came forward to help.

Du Yuhui stared viciously at the girls, “What are you looking at! Bunch of poor slobs!!!”

A few girls looked at each other in disbelief at the yell and simply left her alone.

Du Yuhui froze: “……”

Won’t you all give me a hand?

She looked again at the young man two heads above her, who was staring at her expressionlessly, his height oppressive and without a smile looking a little bit overpowering.

The black cat that had just attacked her quietly appeared from beside the wigwam, washing its paws at the sink with a disgusted look, and its golden pupils stared coldly at her, obviously just a cat, but with the gaze of a fierce beast gazing at its prey.

Du Yuhui ss.

She slinked off on her own, not even daring to utter a harsh word.

Xiao Lan now understands why Du Yuhui looked so terrified when he saw him ten years later. A person who cast a shadow over you ten years ago has not changed at all after ten years, but still has the same recipe and taste.

So, were you dreaming back then, or did you see a ghost back then, or are you seeing a ghost now?

Xiao Lan was at a loss as to what to do with the bag in her hand, and couldn’t take it to the boss for fear of being identified. He hung the bag on a tree and went to the pool to pick up the phone and wallet that had been thrown away.

In fact, there is no point in picking it up, the phone is mostly useless after soaking in water, but the wallet can still be used after washing.

But Gu Mo will die on this graduation trip, and she won’t be able to use any of it.

Xiao Lan and Luo continue to search for clues in the hostel.

The sound of talking came from a half-buried room in front of them.

“I’ll show you something good!”

“Wow – this is, Gu Mo ? How did you get that shot?”

“Whoever made her choose the window seat to shower deserved it.”

Xiao Lan looked into the room and saw Fu Wenbo, who had short hair and looked a bit boyish at the time, but he was the one who had secretly filmed his classmates in the shower.

Fu Wenbo said with great interest, “Do you think she took a bath there on purpose?”

The boy next to me: “Not so much, what’s the picture.”

Fu Wenbo lowered his voice: “I want to be seen, you don’t know that some people have this kind of hobby.”

The people around us had a look of surprise: “Huh?! Not so much.”

“Hey.” Fu Wenbo, seeing that no one agreed with him, turned to a girl across the room and said, ” Zhang Jie , what do you think? Our class flower’s words must be right.”

If he hadn’t said the name Zhang Jie, Xiao Lan wouldn’t have recognised who it was.

This girl’s features are small and delicate, her face is a goose egg face, which is considered to be of medium to high facial value, plus she dresses more outstandingly than her peers, so it is reasonable to say that she is the class flower. It is completely different from the snake face with a high nose and European-style double eyelids that will be on the net ten years from now.

But if you really want to compare, Gu Mo’s features look better.

Zhang Jie opened her mouth, her voice soft and pleasant-sounding: “I don’t know anything about this, but I still like to hang out with simple girls.”

Fu Wenbo raised his voice: “See! See! Our class flower doesn’t even want to play with her, she’s too dirty.”

Du Yuhui, who had changed her clothes, chimed in, “That disgusting bitch, she’s only been here a few days and she’s already hooking up with people, and she just got someone to beat me up!”

Fu Wenbo looked interested: “What’s going on? Tell me about it.”

Du Yuhui was pleased with the attention and raised his chin, “What else can I do? I just touched Gu Mo’s bag and a man came and hit me, look at my bruises, that’s when I got it.”

She also reached out and pointed to the bandage wrapped around her neck.

Fu Wenbo: “I can’t believe you’re so quick, you’re usually so quiet.”

Cheng Lang also agreed, “I think she’s just like that. She’s so shabby and still has the nerve to compete with Zhang Jie for the class flower, she’s no match for Zhang Jie.”

He smiled ingratiatingly at Zhang Jie and moved closer to her.

Zhang Jie’s face flushes a little, and she smiles a little shyly, not retorting to their words. Yes, how could a poor, desperate man be worthy of her.

Fu Wenbo saw this and said, “Doesn’t our class flower and class president look like a good couple?”

A few of the boys and girls next to them were also affected: “Together! Together!”

Cheng Lang’s eyes are filled with anticipation. Zhang Jie is beautiful, seems gentle, and her family is powerful, so she is the ideal girlfriend. Cheng Lang is keen to take advantage of this time to catch her, so that they can be a couple for four years at university and ideally get married straight after graduation, making him the son-in-law of the Zhang family.

Zhang Jie just smiles and doesn’t say anything. Cheng Lang is good looking, but her family background is too average in her eyes, but that doesn’t stop her from enjoying the other’s chase.

The boys laughed and joked and the room was full of joy, no one cared if Gu Mo, whom they despised, had been wronged or not, all they wanted was a novel diversion.

Suddenly, there was a flash of a figure not far away, the one with a somewhat sparse head that was not a student at first glance.

Xiao Lan quietly followed him and discovered that it was Yang Degao.

Yang Degao is crouched in a deserted corner, flicking through his phone with a lewd look on his face and a heated chuckle on his lips, a complete contrast to his usual dignified appearance.

Unfortunately, he was too far away for Xiao Lan to see.

A black cat jumped lightly into the tree behind Yang Degao and stared at his phone screen with contempt as he watched him get high on his own.

When Yang Degao left, the black cat returned to Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan : “What about it? He’s looking at something.”

Luo ponders the art of language for a moment: “Some photography of female high school students, the off-the-wall kind.”

To put it simply – surreptitious photography. No one would have thought that Yang Degao, the head teacher, who usually looks like a proper old-fashioned person, would have a private hobby of secretly taking pictures of his students.

Xiao Lan gets a bad feeling and quickly chases after Yang Degao in the direction he left.

By this time it was dark and the surroundings appeared somewhat blurred in the darkness.

But I was surprised to see Gu Shengan on the run.

Gu Shengan waved at him, “Xiao Lan, it’s great that you’re okay, I haven’t seen you all day and I thought something had happened to you.”

Xiao Lan looks around, the furnishings are much older than what we saw before, and the environment is very quiet and seems less popular; this is – after ten years – the hotel.

Perhaps the game doesn’t allow the player to interfere with the plot any more than necessary.

Gu Mo , destined to die.
