The sudden pop-up message made Wei Guang's already anxious heart clench even higher.
Wei Guang had been unwilling to accept that he had harmed someone, still harboring a sliver of hope. After all, he had only exposed a scandal; at worst, Shen Yanxin would receive a disciplinary action, or he might be expelled from Weiyang, but he could certainly save his life.
—As long as you don't kill anyone, you won't be haunted by ghosts, right?
It was this stroke of luck that allowed Wei Guang to relax his tense nerves a little, but at this moment, those nerves that had just relaxed suddenly tightened again.
"Fake news, right? It's fake, isn't it?"
Wei Guang swallowed hard and clicked on the pop-up message.
It was posted on Weiyang's school forum.
Headline: Shocking! Shen Yanxin, a well-known beauty queen at Weiyang School, was found dead on the rooftop of Building 2 at 9 PM tonight. Police have arrived and cordoned off the area. The true reason for Shen Yanxin's suicide remains unknown, which is truly regrettable.
Note: I have a rumor here that Shen Yanxin's suicide was related to the scandal that was exposed not long ago. Someone witnessed Shen Yanxin being called to the office by the school leaders and coming out crying about half an hour later. According to insiders, Shen Yanxin has been expelled.
What truly led to Shen Yanxin's suicide was likely this exposed scandal.
Boom—
Wei Guang felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
With a thud, the phone slipped from my grasp in shock and fell to the ground.
"Expelled...expelled?"
"Then, unable to bear the blow, Shen Yanxin chose to commit suicide by jumping off a building..."
"Impossible, this can't be... it can't be true!"
Wei Guang couldn't accept all of this. He just wanted to see Shen Yanxin regret losing her candidacy because of her relationship with Xia Che, and he didn't really want to kill Shen Yanxin.
From beginning to end, he always preferred Shen Yanxin.
She was perfectly fine today, she was alive and well right in front of me this afternoon, how could she have died so quickly...?
"It's fake, it must be fake, these are definitely all fake news, just like the rumors I spread, they're all fake!"
Wei Guang was panting heavily, his hair standing on end. The fear in his heart condensed into a tangible tsunami, spreading wildly throughout his body, numbing wherever it passed.
He couldn't imagine how much trouble it would cause him if all of this were true and the police found out that he was the one who posted the gossip.
Even if we don't go that far, let's just talk about now.
If Shen Yanxin's suicide was truly due to herself, then...
It's not surprising that I encountered a ghost wall myself.
"Do you have any pictures? No, right? It's impossible for you to have any, is it?"
Wei Guang pinned his last hope on the news being false, and shakily picked up his phone from the ground to look at the post.
This was a newly posted thread, seemingly only a minute or two old, so there were no replies. Wei Guang scrolled down the thread, looking for evidence that it was fake news.
Suddenly, as he swiped his finger, a photograph of someone lying in a pool of blood abruptly appeared in his field of vision.
A girl was lying on the ground, showing no signs of life. Because it was a long-distance shot, her face could not be seen; only her long hair was visible scattered on the ground.
The bright red blood assaulted Wei Guang's eyes, the impact of the scene was too strong. He groaned and slumped against the wall.
It was as if all the strength had been drained away.
The series of provocations left Wei Guang with no energy left to curse. He leaned against the wall like a dried-up corpse.
He was panting heavily, and his vision was going black in waves.
After a long while, Wei Guang groaned again and covered his face with his hands.
"It's actually true......"
He believed it.
Shen Yanxin was expelled from Weiyang University because of the scandal she exposed. Her dream of attending a prestigious university through early admission was shattered, and unable to bear the blow, she chose to commit suicide by jumping off a building.
And the one who started all of this...
It's yourself!
"Because I killed someone, I encountered a ghost wall, so that's how it is... Heh... So that's how it is!"
Wei Guang covered his face, looking as if he were both crying and laughing.
He was on the verge of a breakdown.
Filled with regret, he knew he had caused Shen Yanxin's death, and the police would not let him off the hook, nor would the ghosts in the ghost wall.
All of this is because of my damned jealousy!
Now there's no way to turn things around, what should I do?
"Waaaah... I was wrong!"
Tears welled up in his eyes, and he leaned against the wall in despair, shouting loudly, his regret almost bursting out of his chest.
"That's just how people are."
Suddenly, a light and melodious voice rang out, and Wei Guang's heart skipped a beat. He looked left and right. Was it finally coming?
Is that ghost coming to take me away?
And judging from the voice, it's a girl...
Wei Guang shuddered as a terrifying possibility came to mind.
Could it be that the ghost that has trapped me here today is Shen Yanxin, whom I killed?
"who?!"
Even Wei Guang himself didn't realize that his voice had started to tremble.
The woman's voice sighed slowly.
"You don't know you're wrong, you just know you're going to die, right?"
In the pitch-black night sky, a flash of purple light suddenly appeared. Wei Guang subconsciously looked up and found that it was actually a crystal ball emitting purple light.
A fair, delicate hand held the crystal ball. A girl in a school uniform stood on the wall, looking down at Wei Guang with great interest, her red eyes sparkling.
"Who are you……"
Wei Guang was somewhat bewildered. He didn't know what this girl was here for. Could she be Shen Yanxin's ghost?
He rubbed his eyes and looked again, realizing that the girl seemed to have a physical form, not a ghost at all...
"Chu Yuying, from the second year of high school, you should have heard of her, so I won't introduce myself."
Chu Yuying tossed the crystal ball in her hand.
"So it was you!"
Wei Guang suddenly realized, and a surge of joy instantly washed away his earlier anxiety and fear.
The ultimate psychic!
He had only heard of Chu Yuying's reputation, but had never met this legendary junior.
Since a top-tier psychic has arrived, doesn't that mean...?
Is there hope for me?
"Don't get me wrong, I don't really want to save you."
Chu Yuying saw through Wei Guang's thoughts at a glance, smiled contemptuously, and said, "You killed Shen Yanxin. Why would I save such a scumbag? I'm just here to laugh at you."
"No...no!"
Wei Guang panicked immediately. In his desperation, he didn't care about anything else and crawled over like a dog: "Please, please save me! I really know I was wrong!"
