Chapter 75 Haunted High School (9)
Su Yue and Wei Wan had lunch at noon. In the afternoon, they returned to the teaching building together and went to their respective classrooms.
When the students on the roadside saw Wei Wan, they looked at each other and moved away as if they had seen the plague god. This made it possible for Su Yue and Wei Wan, who were walking side by side, to move forward unhindered, as if the eldest lady had arrived.
They are both in the same teaching building, but on different floors.
When they reached the second floor, Su Yue had already arrived and waved to Wei Wan. Wei Wan always looked quite introverted, but at this moment he smiled at Su Yue before turning around and going upstairs.
Su Yue noticed that there was a badge on the backpack he was carrying. The pattern on the badge was a golden bird, standing playfully on one leg, with a pair of gem-like red eyes.
.
During the afternoon class, Su Yue was bored because he really couldn't understand the course, so he continued to grab Cang Zhi and send him messages.
Cang Zhi was dragged to the student union at noon, and unexpectedly collected a lot of background information about the game.
This information seemed dispensable and not very meaningful, but Su Yue still wrote it down.
This school anniversary is the centenary of Jinling University, so the school attaches great importance to it, and even the student union held a special meeting to discuss this matter.
The most important part of this school anniversary is called the "Goldfinch Celebration".
The goldfinch, the emblem of Jinling University (also known as the "Ruby Goldfinch"), symbolizes generosity, freedom, and love. A century-old goldfinch statue stands on campus. During each anniversary celebration, the statue is carefully unearthed and placed in the center of the auditorium. Students take the oath of office, gather for a meal, and then hold a grand dance beneath it.
Su Yue immediately thought of something.
-[Suyue: What kind of goldfinch is it? ]
-【Cang Zhi: A cute little bird standing on one leg.】
-[Su Yue: I saw the goldfinch emblem on Wei Wan's backpack. Just now, after we finished dinner together.]
-【Cang Zhi:…】
A question mark slowly floated above Su Yue's head.
What does it mean to reply with three dots?
Cangzhi’s next message came again.
-【Cang Zhi: It means he is very good.】
Su Yue thought, isn't this obvious? As an NPC, at least in this game, his favorability towards the character Wei Wan is higher than his favorability towards everyone else combined.
-[Su Yue: Our Xiao Wei is of course excellent! ]
-【Cang Zhi:…】
-【Su Yue:? Why are you using so many ellipsis?】
-【Cang Zhi: ...Nothing】
- [Cang Zhi: The Goldfinch Badge is an award given annually by Jinling University. Only students who have made the greatest contributions in the fields of science, literature, and social contribution that year can receive it.]
-【Cang Zhi: Wei Wan has the Goldfinch Badge, which shows that he is indeed very outstanding.】
Su Yue always felt that Cangzhi's ellipsis seemed to be hesitant, and it seemed that there was more to it than just this meaning, but he didn't know how to ask.
And more importantly, what's the point of a doll? He can't reflexively overthink it just because the doll has his ex-boyfriend's face.
God cannot, or at least should not, fall into the same river twice.
.
After class, as expected, Su Yue received another notification for club activities. He had been planning to go with Wei Wan and improve the NPC's favorability. However, while he was packing his schoolbag—not because he was attending class seriously, but because he couldn't understand anything in class, so he simply got some food and drinks and a chessboard and had fun playing in the last row of the classroom, so there were a lot of things—he heard his classmates at the door whispering things like "Wow, so handsome" and "Senior."
Su Yue:?
He keenly sensed that something was wrong, packed up his things as quickly as possible, and rushed out of the classroom.
Sure enough, Cang Zhi was waiting there. He had broad shoulders, long legs, and handsome features. He stood at the classroom door with his schoolbag slung over one shoulder, and the entire corridor looked more upscale.
Su Yue: "..."
He won't admit it, but he seems to understand a little bit about the girlish thoughts in campus stories.
"Are you finishing get out of class so early?" Su Yue asked.
Logically speaking, they should have finished class at about the same time. If Cang Zhi rushed over at full speed, he would have been able to wait for him at the classroom door while Su Yue was slowly packing up his things. The problem was that it seemed unnecessary.
Cang Zhi nodded hesitantly.
Someone walked by behind me and whispered, "I heard there's a handsome guy in classroom 3 who rushes out to find someone after class. I don't know who he's with, but they seem so affectionate."
Su Yue: "..."
Cang Zhi: “…”
Su Yue:?
Cang Zhi cleared his throat and said, "For safety's sake, it's better to reunite as soon as possible."
"That's right." Su Yue said, "I was originally planning to go to the club with Wei Wan. He refused to go with me the day before, but today I feel there is a chance."
Cang Zhi hesitated: "If it will delay your progress, I can avoid it."
Wei Wan didn't talk much when Cang Zhi was around; he was inherently averse to strangers. But Su Yue thought about it and smiled, "It's okay. Come over first. We'll talk if he's too disgusted with you."
As it turned out, Wei Wan didn't really dislike Cang Zhi.
Su Yue went upstairs to find him. At that time, Wei Wan was also packing his things. He seemed to have his own radiation, and there was no one around him. Even though Su Yue had exchanged numbers with him and had said in advance that she would come upstairs to find him, Wei Wan still looked a little surprised when he saw Su Yue.
"I didn't expect you to really come." Wei Wan said, then saw Cang Zhi, smiled politely, and walked to Su Yue.
Cang was indeed disliked. Zhi: "..."
However, Wei Wan's disdain was much more subtle this time; at least he didn't reject Cang Zhi's presence. The three of them walked all the way to the club room. They had said the activity was for 7 o'clock, and everyone had arrived on time the day before, but this time everyone was there early. When Su Yue and the others arrived, there were only four empty seats left in the classroom: him, Cang Zhi, Wei Wan, and the club president.
Strictly speaking, there are five empty seats.
Because there is a chair that no one will sit on anymore.
.
Because someone had died, the atmosphere in the classroom was very bad. In addition, the projection screen in front was still showing the underworld scene of burning white candles, which made everyone in the room look very gloomy.
"Did you hear about what happened yesterday?" asked the older woman with the colorful hair. She, like Su Yue and the others, hadn't participated in the Pen Fairy event yesterday, so she had come to talk to them since they had met once.
Before Su Yue could answer, the high school student from yesterday interrupted, "Of course they've heard about it. It's all over the school. If they really haven't heard about it, then there's something fishy about these people."
His words were a bit harsh. Su Yue glanced at him and ignored him.
No one responded to the high school student's tone. For some reason, everyone seemed to be on Su Yue's side.
"Did you have a dream last night?" The person who asked the question was a person who participated in the activity of summoning immortals. He looked at Su Yue eagerly.
"What dream?" Su Yue asked.
No one answered Su Yue after he asked, but the classroom was buzzing with discussion.
"I knew it. I really shouldn't have participated in the invitation to the immortals."
"Fuck, that NPC president is a screw-up!"
"Which idiot set the pace in the beginning?"
.
This scene was a bit strange, but Su Yue didn't need to ask any more questions, because the eldest sister came over and whispered to him, "They all had a dream last night."
Dreams in games are often not simple dreams, but some kind of omens.
"What did you dream about?" Su Yue asked.
"I dreamed about the dead person," the eldest sister said. "I didn't participate in the spirit summoning ceremony, so I don't know the specific content, but they seemed to see the way that person died. It was a very tragic death."
"Did they see the murderer in their dreams?" Su Yue asked, "Did they see the Pen Fairy?"
The big sister was stunned. She didn't expect that Su Yue was not afraid at all, but was immediately paying attention to the clues.
"They didn't tell me, but they're discussing it among themselves," the eldest sister whispered. "Now there's a crucial point. We're not dreaming, but they are. Do you understand what I mean?"
Su Yue: “Hmm?”
"They think you are great now because you chose the right path," said the leader.
The flame of the white candle flickered. The eldest sister paused and said softly, "But they feel that they have been entangled by the Pen Fairy. They say they regret it, but sooner or later they will resent those of us who are not entangled. You must be careful."
