Chapter 74 Grave Numbers Above All 36 Sixth Middle School
Fear stems from the unknown. The students had already calmed down considerably after hearing the various pieces of information that Wu Wangwang and Ling Yuanshan had found. The mortality rate wasn't 100%, and they could survive by perfectly avoiding every possible death.
But if we tell them now that all the information we found before only helped them die more clearly, their fear will return.
The students were dejected, but Wu Wangwang and Ling Yuanshan didn't know what to say either. They had only learned the news today, and they hadn't come up with a solution yet.
The belongings were given to Wu Wangwang and Ling Yuanshan, who returned them before the dormitory closed. As it turned out, they actually found a letter of complaint in the teacher's office, accusing the two of stealing.
It seems that the two of them were spotted by other students' ghosts while running around, which was impossible to guard against. Moreover, their academic performance is not outstanding at present, yet they were still reported.
The whistleblower is anonymous, and it is unclear who did it.
The article begins by saying that it's okay to put her suicide note back. Although there are some restrictions on not carrying her belongings, Ling Yuanshan should already be used to the fact that the first ghost is the immovable opera house senior. Not carrying the suicide note only means that the distance that the article can move is limited. As long as no one else comes to steal the suicide note, the article will still follow Ling Yuanshan.
For safety reasons, the suicide note was returned to the counselor's office. The items were gradually returned, but Liu Hong's remained. To this day, they do not know who Liu Hong's belongings belong to or what their purpose is, and they have been kept in Wu Wangwang's bag.
Wu Wangwang took out a lucky bag and asked Ling Yuanshan to ask Wen Shou if he had seen this before.
It's hard to turn on a phone in the middle of the night because the light might attract the attention of security guards. We can't chat in the group, so we have to rely on Ling Yuanshan to relay the information.
After a while, Ling Yuanshan said, "This is a reward from the school's exams. Every time there is a major exam, the school will give rewards to the top ten students in the grade, the top five in a single subject, and the top three in the class according to their ranking. Last November, the top three students in the class received this kind of lucky bag."
This is one of the few toys that the school allows students to bring with them, since they were provided by the school itself, and it would be crazy not to allow them.
"So, what's inside this lucky bag is decided by the school?" Wu Wangwang pressed, while gesturing for Ling Yuanshan to take the contents of the lucky bag out for Wen Shou to see.
After Ling Yuanshan did as instructed, he said, "No, the lucky bags are made by the student council. Inside, there is only cotton and a slip of paper with something like 'passing the imperial examination.' Since they can be opened, students can put whatever they want inside."
After listening, Wu Wangwang suddenly realized: "So, this lucky bag was modified by the ghost that Liu Hong encountered after moving into the dormitory. I know what's inside. It contains two ghosts. Remember when I told you that I encountered two ghosts that day? The hair came from that girl who was hanging upside down, and the flesh was a placenta."
"But you can only summon one ghost, right? What's the point of having two?" Ling Yuanshan felt that his hands, which had touched the lucky bag, were dirty.
Wu Wangwang shook her head: "No, do you remember that Chinese painting student's best friend? Asking a ghost for help and asking a ghost to kill can be done at the same time."
The author even participated in this matter and offered advice, which was clearer than the rudimentary chat logs in the group.
They were outraged by what happened back then. After all, male B was able to join the group because female B's best friend introduced them. They were dating and said they would go to the same art academy, which is why they let him in. But later they found out that he had been up to no good, and everyone was furious.
When comforting female friend B in private, the conversation turned to teaching them a lesson. This lesson was supposed to involve embarrassing the teacher and male friend B, exposing their affair, and ruining their reputations.
Unexpectedly, the second male lead used his ghost to strike first. The best friend, who was already furious because of the cheating incident, was determined to fight them no matter what. She planned to give them a taste of their own medicine and summoned a little ghost to try to scare them to death.
Even they didn't realize that the teacher was pregnant. They only guessed about it at the time and didn't actually know. When the little devil actually crawled out of the teacher's belly, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to mention it anymore.
It was from this incident that they realized how easy it was to kill someone in this school; all they had to do was choose a vengeful ghost, such as a spirit baby without morals, or a best friend who died unjustly.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Liu Hong kept hair and pieces of meat in her lucky bag. The author believes that these two items are not even considered relics, but rather things given to her by a ghost. However, whether for self-defense or for killing, she did not use them before jumping off the building.
The problem is, Liu Hong isn't the original Liu Hong; it was a player who jumped off the building.
Wu Wangwang recalled a question: "Did Liu Hong... really commit suicide?"
The deaths of several players recently cannot be definitively determined as suicide or homicide, but the school is treating them all as suicides. Furthermore, according to Cheng Hai, a female player died in the dance studio, but no information has been released to the students so far.
The school doesn't care, but the information that Ling Yuanshan and Wu Wangwang found points to homicide, indicating that there are NPCs in the school who have been using ghosts to kill people, and the murderers are not even the same person.
Ling Yuanshan didn't answer. After a few seconds, he suddenly said, "Wen Shou committed suicide. She admitted it herself because of the pressure from her family. No one forced her. All ten of us have faced a lot of pressure from our families and schools. There will always be someone who can't hold on."
The scores of all ten of them in their professional courses have recently declined, which shows that they have been affected, but they dared not let their academic scores drop in order to prepare for the college entrance examination.
The dormitory was about to close, so they couldn't continue their discussion and had to go back, otherwise they would have to climb over the wall to get back into the dormitory.
Entering the dormitory at the last minute, bracing the dormitory supervisor's murderous glare, Wu Wangwang originally planned to go back to her own dormitory, but suddenly decided to go check on Liu Hong's dormitory again, since the supervisor had to start her inspection from the first floor anyway.
No one is filling Liu Hong's bed. The school allocates just enough beds for each graduating class. If someone is not there, the bed will become empty.
After no one lived there, Liu Hong's bed was used as a storage space by her other roommates, who put all sorts of things on it, even though the school rules didn't say that it was forbidden.
Hiding behind the door and peeking for a while, Wu Wangwang saw the hair hanging upside down outside the window and the umbilical cord hanging from the fan. They were waiting for the next person willing to talk to them.
The girls quickly finished showering, and the dorm leader walked to the light switch and said, "I'm going to turn off the lights, so you all need to get into bed now."
The girl on the lower bunk behind the door suddenly said, "Dormitory leader, go and get rid of these two on the window and the fan. They really scare us to death when we wake up in the middle of the night. It's all Liu Hong's fault. Why did she jump off the building? Without her, we have other good friends on our shoulders, and there's really no room for them."
The girl drying her hair on another bed said, "Why blame Liu Hong? Shouldn't we blame those two good-for-nothings for not being able to protect Liu Hong? We clearly agreed that if we avenged them, they would help protect Liu Hong, but in the end, Liu Hong still died."
"Yeah, you two are useless. Even if we were looking for ghosts, we wouldn't choose you. Hurry up and leave, don't scare us." The girls complained one after another.
The girl hanging upside down in the opposite window shed tears of blood, looking somewhat aggrieved, and quietly left.
Then the dorm leader turned off the lights, and room 504 became quiet.
Wu Wangwang returned to her dormitory, her figure slowly emerging on the way. She sighed, feeling the situation was even more serious. Behind each person, there were countless people who wanted them dead.
The night was peaceful, but the next day the school announced that it would be the weekend and the exams would be canceled. The students were overjoyed, and suddenly the school was only filled with gamers.
But this time it's different from last week. The school teachers didn't leave; they were rebuilding the dance studio, so the arts building was sealed off. In other words, Ling Yuanshan can no longer go to the opera house to ask for news.
Everyone had expected this. The students listened to Wu Wangwang and Ling Yuanshan again and stayed in their dormitories to study, preparing for the college entrance examination in two weeks. This could be considered a mock exam. If they could leave safely, it would be like taking the college entrance examination twice, just like repeating a year.
Wu Wangwang invited Ling Yuanshan to the playground and told him everything she had overheard outside room 504 last night. Liu Hong definitely did not commit suicide, and the NPC had realized that something was going to happen to him before the players arrived, so he specially asked two ghosts in the dormitory for help, but they still couldn't beat the other side.
Ling Yuanshan pondered: "Was it because you didn't bring a lucky bag on the day of the incident? Players usually don't move items immediately after checking them, for fear that these items might be suppressing something. It's a kind of experience. But because you didn't bring a lucky bag, the ghost couldn't reach you, and that's how the incident happened."
“That’s possible. After all, the Hanged Ghost and the Infant Spirit are both fine. If they really went to help, they probably wouldn’t be able to come back after Liu Hong died. They would also be considered as fighting in school rules and thus be eliminated.” Wu Wangwang nodded slightly.
"Now the information is basically clear. Both the students with good grades and those with poor grades will be targeted. Although Liu Hong's grades are average in the whole grade, she still got into the top three in the class in the overall ranking. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten that lucky bag. How can people hate someone with such grades?" Ling Yuanshan felt that the students in this school had been driven crazy by the school rules.
Thinking of Liu Hong's personality as described in her life record, Wu Wangwang said somewhat uncertainly, "What if... there are people who dislike her personality? Do you remember? Liu Hong loves to complain and is very picky. She comes from a good family, her parents love her, and she doesn't have as much pressure as other students, so she has actually been bullied all along. But the real problem that made her choose to protect herself was after she received the lucky bag."
Judging from the tone of the conversation among the girls in room 504, they probably knew what was going to happen to Liu Hong and were certain that Liu Hong had put the key item in the lucky bag.
Liu Hong's previous behavior did not seem like she had a ghost to save her life, until her grades gradually improved and she received the lucky bag.
Ling Yuanshan pondered for a moment: "Wait, according to this logic, wouldn't it be better if we just avoided key rankings? The rules of the instance are all about scores; those with good grades and those with bad grades are all eliminated. There are ten of us, all in the lower-ranked classes. Normally, we wouldn't be able to get into the top ten in the grade or the top five in any subject. So, if we're careful and avoid the top three or the bottom three in our class, we shouldn't be targeted, right?"

Wu Wangwang: What's the difference between this and getting 120 points by skipping two big questions? [Transformed]
Ling Yuanshan: Even simpler? [Let me see]
