Chapter 57: Rain

“What’s wrong with you?” Luo Yi turned to Zhen Jianren beside him and asked.

Not too long ago, they reunited at the front of the main education building. They were exchanging information when Zhen Jianren suddenly paused. He lifted his head to look around. His eyes were sharp with alertness.

Luo Yi sensed something as well. He followed Zhen Jianren’s gaze and looked around. Before them was a sizeable garden with a pond in the middle. The pond was dry and cordoned off by a low fence. Red bricks were used to build a flower plot to the right of the fence.Fịndd new updates on n(o)v/e/lbin(.)com

Further to the east was a small forest. Due to the season, the leaves had all fallen. One could see through it easily. Other than the occasional students and staff passing by, nothing was out of place.

Luo Yi looked at Zhen Jianren with confusion. His lips moved. Before he could say anything, the latter said with worry, “Earlier that moment, I had a bad feeling.” The constant worry and action exhausted Luo Yi. He gathered his focus and whispered, “From which direction?”

Zhen Jianren eventually shook his head, “I don’t know. In any case, we’ve been targeted. We need to find the clues and escape this place.”

“What is our plan next?”

“We’ll split up.” Zhen Jianren stood up. “You go to the files room and see if you can find anything on the girl they mentioned. I’ll notify the others.

“We’ll meet up at Block C’s music classroom at 2 pm.”

...

Zhen Jianren was the last one to arrive. As he entered the canteen, he saw Jiang Cheng and Xu Wen’s groups squeezed at the same table. Fatty saw him instantly. He waved him over, “Mr. Guardian Angel, we’ve been waiting for you!”

Xu Wen shared the information she had from Teacher Feng Lan.

When Zhen Jianren heard that Feng Lan was once trapped in the office and all of the guards that came to save her had no chins, Zhen Jianren suddenly spoke, “It looks like what I found out was the prelude to your story.”

He and Luo Yi went to Year 3 Class 1 and 2 to learn more about the situation. Both classes participated in the rehearsal. In the video, the female ghost appeared beside them. Based on what Zhen Jianren heard, there was a rumour among the students of this school. It was related to the music classroom in Block C. The music classroom was wildly different in the day and at night, according to the rumours.

However, he still heard what the girls said. They said if you answered the girl, you’d be trapped here forever like the others...

Once Zhen Jianren said that, everyone’s face dropped. Jiang Cheng believed that there was where the woman in the qipao and Long Tao had gone.

“Was the girl... dancing ballet?” Zhang Yinyin spoke after a long silence.

“Yes.”

...

It would appear that this girl was the source of this music. After the ghost was confirmed, the hoof prints at the crime scene could be explained. They were not hoof prints but the prints from ballet slippers.

The ghost was dancing ballet as she killed the woman in the qipao and Long Tao. The scene would have been absurd and scary.

Regarding this time, they confirmed two rules... or the taboos of this mission.

One, when the ghost appeared, one should not answer her questions. If possible, do not make any noise.

Two, when they had to go to the music classroom in Block C, everyone had to stay together. Unless necessary, one shouldn’t move around at night.

“What about your partner?” Zhou Taifu looked around nervously, “Did he...”

“No.” Zhen Jianren interrupted him. “He went to the files room to see if he could find out anything about the girl. He’ll meet up with us later.”

Fatty cut in darkly, “Is it okay for Brother Luo Yi to go alone? Won’t it be too dangerous?”

“Thank you for your concern,” Zhen Jianren smiled, “I have confidence in my friend. But...” His eyes moved away from Fatty and fell on Jiang Cheng. He said with a trace of malice, “What did you find at the Prop Building?”
