Chapter 210 Midnight Cycle
Jiang Ci felt that it was too hasty to conclude that they committed suicide. "Suffocated by books, drowned in the library, do you think this is suicide?"
"A suicide note can be forged, right?"
Jun Yan raised his eyes to look at her in the rearview mirror, his tone gradually becoming eerie and strange, "The key is that their suicide notes mentioned how they would die. The first one was written as suffocation, which is consistent with the suicide note. The second one was death by water, and he did drown."
"The remaining seven deaths are also a bit strange, but they fit the suicide method in their suicide notes... Oh, the last student who committed suicide was different from the others."
Jiang Ci: “What’s the difference?”
Jun Yan said faintly, "Her suicide note said her head and body were separated."
Bo Hanzhou thought thoughtfully: "So he was beheaded to death?"
"Almost." Jun Yan glanced at him, "She is the only suicide victim whose body is incomplete. Her head is missing and has not been found yet."
Jiang Ci looked out the window and said, "What a depressing magnetic field."
"Is that right? Jiang Jiang, you felt it too, right?" Jun Yan shouted, "Take a quick look, is there a ghost causing trouble, or is the spiritual pressure so strong that it distorts the magnetic field?"
Jiang Ci shook his head: "The magnetic field is not distorted by the spiritual pressure, it just gives me a feeling of oppression."
"The competition is coming up, and many people will come. Jiang Jiang, you must rescue those 18 students, and it would be best if you can find the lost head."
"Her head is empty and she has not been buried yet."
Jun Yan said as he drove through the buildings and headed towards the sparsely populated abandoned library.
"This is the old campus. Except for the old library, other places have been renovated. Because of the student who committed suicide, I ordered students not to come near. I didn't expect that there would still be disobedient students who came here to commit suicide."
Jiang Ci saw from afar a translucent barrier covering the sky above the abandoned library in front of him.
That was the barrier set up by Jun Yan.
The car was parked on a weedy road.
Three people got off the car.
Jun Yan looked at the gloomy library, and a chill ran down his back. He said weakly, "Jiang Jiang, I think I should stay outside. If you have any problems inside, I can help you."
"You are the only one who supports me. If that happens, you will run away faster than anyone else." Jiang Ci grabbed his collar and pushed him towards the library door, "Open the barrier."
Jun Yan pouted and went to open the barrier.
Bo Hanzhou asked her curiously, "What does the barrier look like?"
Jiang Ci put two fingers together and gently poked his forehead, and a ray of spiritual light shone into his mind.
When Bo Hanzhou opened his eyes again, he saw the pale golden barrier covering the library.
As Jun Yan opened, a corner of the light golden cover slowly appeared, just enough for people to pass through.
Jiang Ci suddenly grabbed his hand.
Bo Hanzhou's ears turned slightly red, "Jiang Jiang..."
Although he had a ghost-killing gun, he was of course happy to go in if Jiang Jiang wanted to hold his fingers together!
"What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Ci quickly carved a protective spiritual pattern into the Galan bracelet on his wrist, "I'm just afraid that you'll die, and I'll have to help you collect your body."
"No need to collect the body, just collect my soul." Bo Hanzhou's eyes sparkled.
Jun Yan shouted, "Stop being so affectionate with each other, are you still going in?"
Jiang Ci walked up to him and slapped him on the back of his head. "Why are you rushing me? You are the owner of the Elite Building, but you can't even protect your own students. You are such a disgrace. Don't tell anyone that you know me when you go out!"
Jun Yan looked aggrieved.
He couldn't afford to offend Jiang Jiang, so he had to vent his anger on Bo Hanzhou.
"Hey, pretty boy, I'm warning you in advance, don't hold Jiang Jiang and me back!"
Bo Hanzhou sneered: "Master Jun, just take care of yourself."
He followed Jiang Ci with a handsome and fearless look on his face.
Jun Yan stood at the entrance of the library, took a deep breath, and looked back at the sky outside.
The sun was shining brightly outside, but as soon as one stepped through the door, the sky immediately darkened, as gloomy as midnight.
"Wait for me!"
Seeing the two people walking away, Jun Yan hurriedly followed them, "Jiang Jiang, let me tell you about the situation first."
"The 18 trapped students had no idea what was happening. To them, they were still playing the game."
"I came in last time and almost became one of them."
Jiang Ci looked around the dark environment and said calmly, "Let's get to the point."
"The game they play is to summon the souls of nine missing suicide victims. So, we need to find nine relics of the suicide victims in this library."
Jun Yan, like a guilty thief, fearfully moved closer to Jiang Ci and tried to grab her arm.
Bo Hanzhou couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he pulled him to his side and said confidently, "Go this way, don't disturb Jiang Jiang."
"You!" Jun Yan glared at him. What does this pretty boy know?
He feels safe only when he is close to Jiang Jiang, otherwise he would not know when he would be pulled into the time loop.
"So these students have been searching the time loop for the remains of suicide victims?"
"Yes, yes, that's it." Jun Yan still felt scared when he mentioned it. "I was caught in a loop and was taken by several students to look for relics. This main library was built forty years ago. It has five floors and is divided into four libraries, east, west, south, north, and college information rooms. The total area of the library is more than 80,000 square meters... Nine suicides died on different floors and branches. If we really want to look for them, I'm afraid it will take three days and three nights to find them all."
"Jiang Jiang, where should we start?"
Jiang Ci analyzed: "Since the eighteen students are trapped in that midnight cycle, they would have already dispersed to look for the remains of the suicide victim. Let's start from the first floor."
Bo Hanzhou suggested: "Let's search separately, it will be faster this way."
Jiang Ci thought so too.
Jun Yan said with a sad face, "I don't want to be separated from Jiang Jiang! Little white face, you go to the Northwest Branch to look for him, Jiang Jiang and I will go to the Southeast Branch. If we find him, bring him to the main hall to meet us."
Bo Hanzhou didn't care.
"Do you have to be so cowardly?" Jiang Ci pointed at Jun Yan, "You and Bo Hanzhou are on the same team."
"No!" The two of them refused almost in unison.
Bo Hanzhou knew why she had sent this showy Jun Yan over, and he said firmly on the spot: "Jiang Jiang, I can do it by myself, there is no need to bring a burden with me."
Jun Yan was unhappy when he heard this, and he put his hands on his waist and shouted, "Who do you say is a burden?"
"I despise you for being an ordinary person. You are holding me back when you are on the same team with me."
"What a dare you to despise me."
"Jiang Jiang, let's do as you say. I'm on the same team with the pretty boy! I want to see who's the burden!"
Jun Yan held his head high and chest puffed out, walking towards the south branch with a heroic and confident look.
Bo Hanzhou handed a walkie-talkie to Jiang Ci, "I'll help you keep an eye on that coward. If you have anything to say, use the walkie-talkie. It covers a large area."
