The system provided him with a video, and apart from the last part where everyone in the class rushed forward, which was a bit scary, everything else was normal.

The only abnormal thing was the obvious tension and fear in his eyes when he saw the red bow.

The break between classes was very short. When he heard the bell ring, Cen Yu went to the classroom. After he sat down, He Yuxing looked at him and said, "That person really isn't in Class Two."

“The people in Class Two are lying,” Cen Yu said.

He twirled the pen in his hand.

Both Scarface and their classroom seemed normal... except for the glasses.

He almost got into a fight with someone in his class but nothing happened, which proves that the problem wasn't with his classmates.

Cen Yu propped his head up, twirled the pen in his hand for a while, then stopped. He turned to look at He Yuxing beside him, who looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"It's nothing," Cen Yu said, then turned his gaze away.

Since the problem didn't occur during the day, it's most likely at night...

Cen Yu still remembered the commotion in the dormitory corridor that night. He suspected that the bespectacled man had probably been peeping and had discovered something... Cen Yu watched the NPC's lecture on the stage. The bespectacled man wouldn't be staring at someone's bow tie for no reason.

Then there's only one possibility.

He saw something wearing the same bow outside the dormitory last night.

And it was discovered by the people in the dormitory, which led to the scene in Class 2 classroom.

The instance of Qingshan Middle School only lasts for one week, and today is the second day. They must find the truth of the instance and leave within a week.

Having thought this through, Cen Yu had already made up his mind.

...

When evening self-study ended and he returned to the dormitory, Cen Yu went straight to the water room at the end of the corridor.

"Cen Yu." He Yuxing looked at him. "Where are you going?"

"Water room".

Cen Yu looked at He Yuxing and said, "Let's try our luck."

“I’ll go too.” He Yuxing said, about to stand up, but Cen Yu pressed her down onto the lower bunk.

“You stay in the dorm,” Cen Yu said after thinking for a moment. “If there’s any trouble, you can come and help me from there.”

"Besides, you can't fight, so what can you do in the washroom?"

As Cen Yu spoke, he gestured to He Yuxing to be careful and not to make too much noise after 10 p.m. He would use his key to open the door when he came back, and if there was a knock on the door, it definitely wasn't him.

He Yuxing wanted to say something, but in the end, she had no choice but to compromise.

"I'll wait for you to come back," He Yuxing whispered to Cen Yu.

"Hmm," Cen Yu said, then opened the door and walked towards the water room outside the dormitory.

...

It was still before bedtime, and the washroom was quite lively.

Seeing Cen Yu carrying a plastic basin and a towel, someone greeted him.

The water room is divided into two sections by white, tiled walls—one section is a long, narrow pool, and the other is the shower area.

The shower area had some simple partitions made of wooden boards, but if someone got close, their legs could still be seen peeking out from under the partitions, making it impossible for them to hide.

"Hurry up, Cen Yu." Wang Ke was washing clothes in the washroom. "Why are you so late? We have to go back to the dormitory at 10 pm."

“Come here,” he said, beckoning to Cen Yu.

Cen Yu walked over and slowly began to rub the towel... Soon, a bell rang in the corridor, signaling that it was almost 10 o'clock.

Wang Ke muttered a string of complaints, then quickly gathered his still-damp clothes and headed out of the washroom. He saw Cen Yu still standing there and kindly reminded him, "It's almost 10 o'clock."

"Okay, I'll be right there." Cen Yu continued to slowly rub the towel.

Wang Ke scratched the back of his head, said "Then hurry up" and left the water room.

Only Cen Yu remained in the washroom. Soon, the bell rang again in the corridor... Cen Yu heard footsteps, and Scarface appeared at the washroom door.

"What did you think Glasses saw at night?" Scarface muttered as he walked over. "Isn't it the same if I peek in the dorm?"

At noon, Cen Yu found Scarface and told him his speculation—

The person with glasses must have seen some truth, which is why they were killed.

During the day, the school is normal, but strange noises only occur in the corridors after 10 p.m.

“So I’m going out tonight to take a look,” Cen Yu said directly to Scarface. “Otherwise, once the seven days are up, no one will be able to get out.”

Scarface understood this as well, and without hesitation, he arranged to meet Cen Yu at the washroom after 10 p.m.... He glanced at Cen Yu, who was all alone, and asked, "Didn't you call your little boyfriend?"

"Yeah, he doesn't look like someone who can fight," Scarface muttered.

The bell in the hallway was ringing more and more urgently, as if telling everyone in the dormitory—

It's 10 o'clock, don't go out.

There was a wooden door in the washroom, and Scarface closed it behind him when he came in.

Cen Yu stood in the washroom. After the urgent ringing stopped, only his and Scarface's soft breathing filled the large space.

Neither of them spoke, and the room was unusually quiet.

Soon, the first sound of a door opening was heard.

Cen Yu looked at the partially closed wooden door, making sure he hadn't misheard.

That was the sound of the dormitory door being opened—the dormitories at Qingshan Middle School were all very old, and the doors were all wooden doors that had been used for who knows how many years, making a creaking sound every time they were opened.

It was 10 p.m. in a quiet corridor.
