Chapter 20 - Bai Yating's Death

Although I was shocked, I still stared fixedly at Zhao Xue who was motionless on the screen. Gradually, I seemed to have discovered something.

Although Zhao Xue was holding the note that said 'Save me', she was clearly smiling strangely. Even if it was a ghost, it shouldn't be like this …

At this moment, Shen Tuo suddenly threw me a diary. I opened it in curiosity and found that it was actually Chen Ziyue's diary. Looking at it bit by bit, I finally understood Shen Tuo's intentions.

I looked at Chen Ziyue's beautiful handwriting on the diary, and then looked at the almost completely filled screen of glyph words. I realized, even if there was a huge difference in these words, the handwriting was still very similar!

In other words, this was written by Chen Ziyue and not Zhao Xue!

However, why was Zhao Xue's figure in the video instead of Chen Ziyue?

Seeing that I also seemed to notice something, Shen Tuo didn't beat around the bush. He leaned his body back against the back of the chair, clearly feeling a lot more relaxed.

"So it looks like you did indeed invite two ghosts that night, and two dead enemies at that! These words may have seemed written by Zhao Xue, but in reality, they came from Chen Ziyue. Perhaps she was too weak and was suppressed by Zhao Xue in the end. That's why we only saw Zhao Xue. "

When I thought of that night when Chen Ziyue was also in that room and could only watch as Zhao Xue manipulated Yan Nan to attack Su Xiao, an inexplicable emotion suddenly arose in my heart. I didn't know how Chen Ziyue was feeling at that time.

I sighed, trying my best to comfort myself. No matter what, this can be considered a major discovery, at least we now know that this distress signal wasn't sent out by Zhao Xue as a red-clothed resentful ghost, knowing about this matter made me suddenly understand a lot. I originally suspected that Zhao Xue was acting this way from the beginning, but I only now understood this line in my brain.

Shen Tuo got two boxes of Soup Dumplings from who knows where. Seeing that I understood, he stuffed one into his mouth and passed the other box to me. We continued to play the video while eating lunch.

The moment the video was broadcasted to Yan Nan desperately attacking Su Xiao with her life on the line and her final attack about to land, Shen Tuo once again pressed down on the pause button.

"How come I didn't realize that Bai Yating blew out the candle before? She didn't do it herself!"

Shen Ta was greatly shocked, and the Soup Dumplings that he had just eaten was forcefully spat out.

"That's right, why are you …"

I was going to say, how do you know? However, when I saw the look in Shen Tuo's eyes, the words that I was about to say stuck in my throat.

Shen Tuo acted as if he wanted to eat him up, and threw the Soup Dumplings in his hands onto the ground: "Why didn't you say so earlier! If I had known earlier, Bai Yating wouldn't have died! "

Shen Ta's words were vague and I didn't know what he meant. However, I had a feeling that Bai Yating's death was due to our negligence.

Seeing that I wasn't able to react, Shen Tuo realized that he had lost his composure. He immediately turned around and picked up the Soup Dumplings on the floor. As he dragged the Soup Dumplings, he helplessly explained to me.

"I already told you this morning, Bai Yating died from some kind of evil spirit's power and it wasn't on purpose, but I don't understand how Zhao Xue did it. "Until just now, I saw Bai Yating extinguish the candle in order to save Su Xiaoxiao."

It turned out that asking a ghost to act like this was an act by humans, but the candle could not be extinguished by humans. It was either using the power of the ghost that was invited, or just waiting for it to naturally extinguish and use the gas that came from the human body to blow out the candle. This ability is a taboo, and a taboo at that.

Whether the ghosts we invited were of high rank or low rank, this room would always be filled with their power, especially the candles that symbolized their power. With the help of the people blowing out the candles, there was nowhere for the ghost to place its power. Thus, he could only follow the breath and enter his body …

Therefore, Zhao Xue's power was gathered in Bai Yating's body. All of this was not what Zhao Xue wanted, but rather, it was something that Bai Yating had accepted on her own accord.

I gradually understood that the power that Shen Tuo had mentioned to kill Bai Yating was precisely the power that Zhao Xue had gathered on the candle.

However, this means that Bai Yating was also indirectly killed by us. No matter how much I tried to explain myself, I was completely unaware that life is still human. Bai Yating could not live to see the light of day, and in the end, I could not escape my responsibility.

The only thing I can do for Bai Yating right now is to do my best to find Zhao Xue and find out everything about her. I will make Zhao Xue and Chen Ziyue return to their usual places …

When I came back to my senses, Shen Ta had already packed everything up, finished the rest of his food and was sitting beside me smoking a cigarette. I couldn't help but cough a few times. Looking at the Soup Dumplings in front of me, I had no appetite at all.

"You don't have to blame yourself. I was in a hurry just now, those girls don't know anything, so I can't blame you for this. "Cough cough." After saying that, Shen Ta coughed as he stubbed out the cigarette in his hand.

I glanced at Shen Ta and snappily said, "Stop smoking. Do you know what the lungs look like in the advanced stage of lung cancer?!"

Even though I said this, I was still very grateful to Shen Ta in my heart.

I originally got involved in this case for no reason. Now, the people in the school are pointing fingers at me in secret every day, and I'm also full of guilt towards Bai Yating, thanks to Shen Tuo not paying attention to me constantly following him. Perhaps Shen Tuo knows that I can only feel at ease and give the whole school an explanation if I personally investigate this matter.

I stared blankly at the computer screen in front of me, the scene in front of me slowly became blurry due to the lack of focus. I gradually understood, perhaps, from the moment I found Chen Ziyue's head by the river, or perhaps, from the moment I met Zishan Ming in my dream, I was already destined to be involved in this matter.

And my life is destined to be extraordinary.

When the phone rang, I turned my head in a daze, only to find that my neck was stiff and my arms were numb. Reluctantly, I sat up. At some point in time, I realized that I had fallen asleep on a police station chair.

I glanced at Shen Ta, who was sleeping beside me, and gave him a hard shove. Shen Ta then stretched out his arm and placed the phone by his ear.

However, just a second after the call connected, we, who were already exhausted, woke up in an instant …
