Chapter Eighteen: A Scammer?



The short-haired girl realized a terrifying possibility, one that wasn't hard to guess, as evidenced by the pale faces of the others; they were all clearly thinking the same thing.

"Could it be... a corpse?"

The handsome young man stammered out the possibility that the girl had thought of but dared not say, and everyone in the room gasped in shock.

"If that's true, shouldn't we go find the teacher now? No, let's call the police first!"

Some of the more level-headed students quickly realized what was happening.

"I haven't even said anything yet, why are you all panicking?"

Chu Yuying sighed, "Don't worry, it's not certain yet. Besides, rotting human flesh doesn't smell like this; it smells more like a dead rat."

Upon hearing this, the group's expressions improved slightly. As long as it wasn't a corpse, it was barely acceptable to them.

"Then... Chu, is there really something evil here? Are the ghost stories true?"

The handsome young man swallowed hard and said, "I heard in the ghost stories that the senior who died was forced to practice the piano by her family to make a lot of money. If she didn't practice for a little while, she would be beaten. One Friday night, she was practicing in the practice room here with a high fever, but she forgot that the teaching building would be locked at night. Since it was the weekend, the teachers had all gone home..."

"The senior student tried to call for help but there was no one there. She was burned to death by a high fever... It's said that the next day, the inside of the main entrance was covered in red bloody handprints, and that's why the building was abandoned..."

"And so began the strange tales of Weiyang. Every night at midnight, the sound of a piano would echo from the building, along with the pitiful screams of a trapped senior student... Now, it's almost time! Will we really run into each other?"

"Everyone who saw the senior in person will die, without exception."

As he spoke, the handsome young man's features became somewhat distorted. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that from the moment he entered the teaching building, there was a chilling draft that seemed to blow through the building from time to time, making him feel cold inside.

"Hmm... my crystal ball does show that there are some strange things here, but it's hard to say for sure whether it's that senior student."

Chu Yuying looked at the crystal ball, pondered for a moment, and said, "How about this, if you are really scared, you can go back now."

She looked at the crowd, but didn't say anything more, wanting to hear their opinions.

"Should we take it back?"

The handsome young man's face lit up with joy, and he looked pitifully at the short-haired girl. To be honest, he was a coward, and he wouldn't have wanted to come if he were alone. But the short-haired girl who suggested the adventure was the person he had a crush on.

In order to have more in common with the other person, he made a tough decision to come here. Now that he heard there was a chance to leave, the handsome young man couldn't help but look at the other person, hoping that the other person would be as scared as he was and go back.

"No way! We've only just come in and we're already leaving? That would be so embarrassing. We should at least go in and take a look first."

The short-haired girl's words shattered all the boys' hopes. There was nothing they could do; she was the backbone of the group and the initiator of this adventure, so they had no choice but to listen to her.

"Okay, then don't stray too far from me."

Chu Yuying remained expressionless, but secretly sighed inwardly, feeling indignant.

no……

If you're all so scared, can't you just leave?

Why insist on holding on like this?

You guys just left, that'll save you the trouble!

The ultimate psychic, a mysterious and beautiful girl, Chu Yuying, who became famous at a young age and solved many supernatural cases in Jiang City, is actually...

These titles are all false.

Chu Yuying knew nothing about spiritual communication. She had simply picked up a book on spiritual communication by chance and happened to meet a famous spiritual master in Jiang City at a dinner party hosted by her elders. The master noticed Chu Yuying's interest in spiritual communication and, out of consideration for his elders, took her on as a disciple.

As for the supernatural cases in Jiang City that she solved...

It was all orchestrated and acted by Chu Yuying herself.

They might hire actors or make arrangements in advance, then appear themselves to solve the problem, leaving laymen stunned. Gradually, they gain fame and then money.

Chu Yuying is an orphan. Her white hair and red eyes are hereditary. Her parents died early, and she relies entirely on her elders for support. Therefore, she desperately needs money. She needs to pay back the money her elders have spent on her and also earn money for her future university education.

"Damn it, if directly rejecting my classmates wouldn't affect my image at school, why would I bother hanging out with them in the middle of the night? Wouldn't it be more comfortable to watch dramas in bed? If you're scared, just leave already. You're wasting my time, tch..."

Chu Yuying walked at the front, her expression unchanged, but she kept muttering to herself, "Oh well... anyway, I just need to turn a corner ahead and I'll see the blood plasma I prepared in advance and a mannequin. I even put a wig on it. The lighting here is bad, so they'll definitely think that's my senior's corpse."

"Then these cowards will definitely be scared and run away, right? I'll stay a little longer, and then go to school as usual tomorrow. They'll definitely think that I solved the supernatural problem for them, and that way I can keep my image intact... Hmm, let's do it!"

Chu Yuying turned around confidently and said calmly, "There's something I need to tell you in advance. If there's any emergency later, you must turn around and run. Don't worry about me. The things here are not for you to handle. Just leave them to me. Remember that."

"Huh? Just leave Sakura here? Isn't that dangerous?"

The short-haired girl blinked. "Wouldn't it be safer to run together?"
