Wei Guang's brows furrowed even deeper, his sense of foreboding growing stronger.
No one knows better than Shen Yanxin, who has been secretly in love with Weiyang for several years, how famous he is.
The dignified goddess Weiyang has now committed suicide by jumping off a building. There must be no discussion about it on the forum; countless threads should have been created by now.
But Wei Guang searched for a long time and couldn't find a single related post.
Something's not right...
Wei Guang refused to believe it and searched for "Chen Yanxin" in the search bar, but the results were all posts praising Shen Yanxin or confessing their love to her. After searching through them, he couldn't find a single post with a date of today.
"Have I been tricked?"
Wei Guang gritted his teeth. Realizing this possibility, he quickly opened his browsing history, found the post that he had believed to be true, and clicked on it, only to find that the post had been deleted.
Snap!
Wei Guang felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
The phone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground. Wei Guang sat down heavily on the ground, unable to stand even while holding onto the bus stop sign next to him.
"I've been tricked...it's all fake..."
Wei Guang stared blankly into the distance, his eyes lifeless.
In my dazed mind, scenes from just moments ago flashed by like a slideshow.
Wei Guang, who had believed it not long ago, suddenly realized the truth at this moment.
Moss-covered walls, a path from which there seems to be no way out, a sudden appearance of bloody red light, and so on.
These things...
It's all fake.
How could there be ghosts in this world?
Wei Guang's body began to tremble. The repeated ups and downs tonight were starting to overwhelm him, even with his young heart.
If ghosts don't exist at all, and if Shen Yanxin never died, then who is the one who released this message and misled people into thinking they were trapped in a ghostly maze?
Who was the person who tricked me into revealing everything and then made me delete the post?
Who else could it be?
"We've fallen for their trap..."
Wei Guangshu let out a long breath, belatedly realizing that his violently pounding heart felt like it was about to jump out of his throat.
He fell into the trap from the very beginning.
It turns out that Xia Che's probing in the afternoon wasn't without evidence; rather, it confirmed that he was indeed a paparazzi.
Therefore, everything that happened to me that night made perfect sense.
First, he experienced being trapped in a maze, which made him, who already had a guilty conscience, timid and fearful, lose his judgment of the situation. Then, having already lost his rationality, he naturally regarded Chu Yuying, who suddenly appeared, as his last lifeline.
A meticulously planned scheme.
A game within a game!
The moment I stepped onto that path, I was already trapped and there was no way to escape.
"How could Xia Che, a loser who's at the bottom of his class, come up with such a scheme? What makes him think he has that kind of brain?"
"It's over...it's all over..."
Wei Guang was completely exhausted, and his eyes were lifeless.
The gossip post had already been deleted by himself, and the whole process was known to everyone. Wei Guang now even suspected that there were other people besides Chu Yuying and himself in the alley at that time.
Perhaps even Shen Yanxin is there!
The thought of confessing to Shen Yanxin what he had done to her made Wei Guang's face flush red, and the anger in his chest almost burst forth, making him so furious that he wanted to kill someone.
But if he were to actually kill someone, Wei Guang wouldn't have the guts; he could never become a fugitive.
Wei Guang lowered his head dejectedly, his mind racing as he tried to find another way to break the deadlock. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"I've got it! I still have video evidence. I only deleted the posts; I still have the photos and videos on my phone, ha... hahaha!"
What does it mean to find a new path after a long and winding road? What does it mean to be surrounded by mountains and rivers with no way out?
This is it!
He still had evidence on his phone. Since he had already completely broken ties with Shen Yanxin and the others, Wei Guang didn't believe they would tolerate him staying at the school any longer.
Since that's the case...
I might as well go all the way.
Aren't the school leaders in Weiyang supposed to be oblivious to gossip posts?
Okay, then he won't post anymore.
"I'm going to take the evidence and report them directly! Hehe... Luckily I ran fast enough, you didn't expect me to run away, did you?"
Wei Guang breathed a sigh of relief and felt extremely fortunate.
Even if the other party knows there are videos on my phone, what can they do?
He'll report it right now!
Fortunately, when he sensed something was wrong, he ran away immediately. The other party didn't even have time to react. Since the jump was fake, there was no police involved. He could leisurely go home, take a nice shower, have a late-night snack, and then upload the video to the school leaders' email.
No matter how awesome you are, Xia Che, you can't possibly intercept emails that have already been sent, right?
"Can you fight me? You forced me into this first, you left me no room to maneuver! So don't blame me for being ruthless... Shen Yanxin, don't blame me."
"And Xia Che... what do you think you're good for, you piece of trash? Just wait until I report you all, then you'll be crying."
With hope and renewed strength, Wei Guang stood up, leaning on the bus stop sign, and walked toward the residential area in front of him.
A sickly smile hung on his face; his mind had become deranged.
The tonight has been filled with too many shocks, one after another. Wei Guang can no longer think about reality; all he wants is revenge.
I will repay all the insults I suffered tonight.
I never intended to make things this big; it was all these people who forced me into it!
"You're right about one thing: Xia Che is indeed a good-for-nothing, but unfortunately, you won't have the chance to report him."
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded behind Wei Guang. He turned around sharply and saw someone walking out from behind the bus stop sign.
"Li Junyang?"
Wei Guang was stunned and subconsciously took a few steps back. He knew how strong this person was and that it couldn't be anything good for him to come looking for him at this time.
But...aren't I already desperately trying to escape?
Why did they catch up so quickly?
"Idiot, if I hadn't deliberately let you go, do you really think you would have had a chance to escape?"
Li Junyang chuckled. Since there were no acquaintances around, he no longer needed to pretend.
Wearing that hypocritical mask for too long is suffocating.
"You...you let me go on purpose?"
Wei Guang suddenly shivered, his retreating steps never ceasing. "What do you want to do?!"
What do you think?
Li Junyang remained expressionless, but a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.
Immediately, he rushed forward and tackled Wei Guang to the ground in the nearby bushes.
Suddenly, a blood-curdling scream and a series of dull, thuds of punches rang out from the bus stop, tearing through the night sky.
...
"Hmm... Is this the video? Heh, it's pretty clear."
Li Junyang, toying with the phone that had just belonged to Wei Guang, strolled out of the bushes, a hint of lingering satisfaction on his face.
