Chapter 556 [547] The Ghost Is Touching Me
Chapter 556 [547] The Ghost Is Touching Me
"So, the students at the school suspect that Jingyi's disappearance was actually due to her murder?"
Song Zhiyu rested her head on Xu Jinhuan's shoulder, having also read the post on the school's intranet, and then habitually offered her opinion first, "And it seems she has a bad reputation, had many boyfriends, and was killed by one of her boyfriends?"
Xie Wanqing looked at Xu Jinhuan with a puzzled expression and asked, "Does any of you like Jingyi?"
"Anyway, I don't."
Xu Jinhuan shook his head without hesitation, choosing the latter over the rule of "telling the truth" to avoid trouble.
He then asked Liu Liangfu and Li Hang, "Where are you two?"
Li Hang and Liu Liangfu exchanged a glance, and Liu Liangfu spoke first: "The character I play, Xu Xiaofeng, confessed his feelings to Jingyi, but was rejected."
Before Li Hang could speak, he pointed at Li Hang again and said, "Li Hang also has a crush on Jing Yi. In my script, it was written that he confessed hastily because he was jealous of Li Hang. He didn't even confess face-to-face, but over the phone, and was directly rejected."
Li Hang said irritably, "Explain yourself clearly. The person who has a crush on Jingyi is the character I'm playing, Zhang Yong, not Li Hang! Can you be more professional?"
Song Zhiyu said, "So you two also have a motive for murder?"
"I don't!"
"not me!"
The two denied it almost simultaneously, then subconsciously exchanged a glance, both seeming somewhat distrustful of each other. Liu Liangfu asked, "Tell the truth, I won't vote for you when we vote later."
Xu Jinhuan pondered, "We should all have good identities."
The other four looked over, and just as Song Zhiyu was about to speak out as usual, Xie Wanqing asked first, "Why?"
"Because we've all come back here."
Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "In an unfamiliar environment, especially when you are terrified, a normal person would subconsciously run to a place that feels safe—that is, a place they are familiar with. So we all subconsciously ran to this laboratory."
Song Zhiyu interjected, "I dragged you here!"
When the little girl spoke, she raised her chin and looked at Xie Wanqing with a proud expression.
Xie Wanqing rolled her eyes at her with amusement, then asked Xu Jinhuan, "Why don't those people with bad backgrounds come over?"
"Because they have a bad identity, they want to get rid of us so they can do bad things."
Song Zhiyu became clever again, continuing to raise her snow-white chin and look at Xie Wanqing arrogantly, almost saying, "Those who serve others with their beauty will lose their favor when their beauty fades."
This was not because she thought she was less beautiful than Xie Wanqing, but simply because she was still upset that her character had lost to Xie Wanqing's character in the school beauty pageant.
He'll seek revenge, from morning till night!
Having spent so much time with her, Xie Wanqing naturally understood her thoughts. She felt helpless yet somewhat amused, and decided not to argue with her. Moreover, after comparing them for so long, she acknowledged that she was "not very good at thinking" and "not quick-witted."
In Song Zhiyu's words, they all went to exchange for those few ounces of flesh on her chest—if that's really the case, Xie Wanqing doesn't think it's a loss.
After all, even if she were smarter, she wouldn't be able to use her intelligence to build a career or achieve anything; it wouldn't be as useful as the few ounces of flesh on her chest.
At least Xu Jinhuan liked it. However, if she had a choice, she would prefer to change fewer of them. On the one hand, she could use more of her brain to mock Song Zhiyu, and on the other hand, she could make things easier for herself. It was too big, too much of a burden in daily life, very tiring, and she could never straighten her back.
In this respect, she envied Chen Xingzhu and Chen Xingruo even more, feeling that God favored the two sisters too much, and everything was just right.
"How clever!"
Xie Wanqing rolled her eyes and mimicked Song Zhiyu's sarcastic tone, saying, "After spending so much time together, I've learned quite a bit about this kind of thing. Don't think I've never played Werewolf. The way you're so eager to label others, you must not be a good person!"
"I'm doing this to find bad guys."
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Xu Jinhuan changed the subject, saying, "Never mind them, let's continue looking for clues."
Li Hang and Liu Liangfu naturally wouldn't get involved in this matter, and continued browsing the school's intranet, but they couldn't find any other clues. Li Hang put down the tablet and said, "It seems the clue is Jingyi's ex-boyfriend... So where do we look?"
Liu Liangfu picked up the tablet again and asked curiously, "Can we take this tablet with us?"
Now, not only Xie Wanqing, but even Song Zhiyu had no intention of arguing. She glared back with the same "questioning" look that Xie Wanqing and Chen Xingzhu often gave her when she said some outrageous or difficult things.
The bad news is that Li Hang didn't even look at her; the good news is that everyone else had the same expression.
Li Hang couldn't help but break the instinct of most guys to maintain their image in front of the two beautiful women, and directly cursed: "Are you stupid?"
"Just kidding, I'm not brain-dead."
Liu Liangfu pursed his lips, put down his tablet, and turned to ask Xu Jinhuan, "Where are we going?"
"Let's look again."
Xu Jinhuan was also clueless, mainly because she was a little scared of the eight-legged monster and didn't know what it was. She glanced at the door and said, "They'll definitely give us more clues, but if they don't..."
Just as they were talking, the lights in the laboratory suddenly went out without warning. Everyone was a little shocked. Xie Wanqing and Song Zhiyu screamed instinctively and hid behind Xu Jinhuan.
Xu Jinhuan, Liu Liangfu, and Li Hang, the three grown men, managed to maintain their composure. Xu Jinhuan instinctively reached for the tablet, but couldn't find it in the darkness. Just as he touched it, he suddenly heard a sharp, eerie female voice laughing in the darkness, like a vengeful ghost. It startled him so much that he knocked the tablet off the table.
The tablet had a protective case, and with Mr. Xu's financial resources, he wasn't worried about not being able to afford to pay for it. So, after a fleeting thought, he didn't take the tablet's damage to heart. However, the tablet fell, and while he knew it was a tablet, others didn't.
Therefore, the loud "bang" when the tablet fell not only startled Xie Wanqing and Song Zhiyu, causing them to scream again, but also startled Li Hang and Liu Liangfu next to them. Although the two reacted quickly and swallowed their initial "Holy crap" for the sake of their pride, they still heard it.
However, Song Zhiyu and Xie Wanqing reacted more strongly. The two of them grabbed Xu Jinhuan's arms and back. Even before encountering the female ghost, their fingernails were already scratching Xu Jinhuan like a female ghost.
Xu Jinhuan didn't argue with them. He bent down to pick up the tablet, but when he bent down, his bottom naturally stuck out and bumped into Song Zhiyu. The little girl was scared and thought she had encountered a ghost. She jumped up and shouted almost in a crying voice, "Ghost! A ghost is touching me!"
"it's me!"
Song Zhiyu jumped up excitedly, bumping into Xu Jinhuan. Xu Jinhuan couldn't pick up the tablet and stumbled forward. As soon as he regained his balance, he noticed that the laboratory door had opened at some point. Red light flashed in the corridor, and in the blink of an eye, he clearly saw the eight-legged monster crawling on the laboratory door frame. He couldn't tell if it was one or two heads, but it was turning and sticking out, seemingly staring at him...
Xu Jinhuan's heart skipped a beat; she almost felt her heart stop beating from fright. (End of Chapter)
