"Have you heard? Something happened again at the Happiness Courtyard on Fulin Street."

"Yes, yes, I heard someone died again."

"Really? Another one died? Oh my god, that's terrifying."

"Has the murderer been found?"

"No."

By the time school let out in the afternoon, the sun had already set.

As soon as Rong Shang stepped out of the classroom, a group of girls gathered in the corridor, chatting amongst themselves about the murder that had occurred the previous night.

They were having a lively discussion, completely oblivious to the girl who had just come out of the classroom.

"I heard that Bai Xiaoyu's mother was there last night."

"No way, does that mean she saw what the murderer looked like?"

"No way, a relative of mine works at the police station. She said that Bai Xiaoyu's mother fainted after the incident last night and didn't even see the murderer. I also heard from my relative that they had just installed surveillance cameras near Happiness Courtyard a few days ago, but after last night's incident, the cameras were all broken."

"Heh."

Upon hearing this, Rong Chang heard nothing but gasps of astonishment.

"Oh my god, this is terrifying, I have goosebumps."

"Do you think Bai Xiaoyu and her mother planned this all along? Look, last time someone died, Bai Xiaoyu was at the scene, and this time someone died again, and it was her mother..."

"Hmm...it might just be—"

"It's almost dark, and you're still chatting and laughing here? Aren't you afraid?"

A cold voice suddenly broke in amidst the group's discussion.

In an instant, the group of girls were startled by Rong Shang.

Some people even screamed when they saw her and moved closer to her best friend behind her.

"We didn't say anything bad about you."

The girl in front of them had an indifferent expression. As they looked at her and thought about what had happened recently, they felt a chill run down their spines.

"Oh?" Rong Shang tilted her head, a half-smile playing on her lips. "Is that so?"

Lift your foot and step forward.

They had barely taken a step when the girls, who were huddled together, immediately started screaming.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, please don't kill me!"

Someone shouted this, and Rong Shang paused, her eyes narrowing slightly.

"You can't just say things carelessly."

She suddenly realized that the man seemed to be causing her trouble.

laugh.

"There's something I think you should know: I've never liked taking the blame for others."

"If someone tries to pin a trumped-up charge on me..."

After a pause, Rong Chang stepped forward again.

Amidst the screams, she suddenly reached out and grabbed the girl who was talking the most enthusiastically, leaning close to her ear and saying dangerously, "Then my crime will be confirmed."

He finished speaking.

She smiled lazily, her lips slightly parted.

Rong Shang let go of her hand, turned around, and strode away.

A gust of wind blew through the corridor, causing her coat to flutter.

The girl almost collapsed, "Wh-what do you mean?"

“Lian’er, what Bai Xiaoyu means is that if we keep saying she killed someone, she will really kill someone in front of us.”

When someone explained it to her, Lu Lian'er's face turned pale instantly.

"Then, let's not talk about it anymore." Nobody wanted to gamble with their life.

It would be terrible if something unexpected happened to me one day.

...

At the entrance of Class A, Feng Xi witnessed everything that had just happened in the corridor.

The girl in front of him was confident and composed, which caught his eye.

Feng Xi frowned, a slight look of surprise on his face.

What's going on? Why does Bai Xiaoyu seem different?
