Chapter 79 Haunted High School (13)
The person who died accidentally was not any of the four people who participated in the summoning of the immortals.
But it was the player who had a breakdown last night and cursed Wei Wan.
He died in the music classroom on the top floor, his whole body pierced by the strings of the upright grand piano, and his blood soaked the entire piano.
The music classroom was in a backlit room on the top floor. Even at noon when the sun was shining brightly, it could hardly be called bright. At this moment, a strong smell of blood filled the classroom. Large patches of bloodstains like flowers spread across the light wooden floor, making the dark green velvet curtains by the window look a little weird.
The wind when the door opened made the curtains sway slightly, as if a ghost was hiding behind them.
Many students gathered in the narrow corridor outside the classroom, but only the brave ones dared to get closer.
All the players are here, their lives are at stake, so of course they would gather here.
These people were discussing different things and had different thoughts. Some were afraid, some were curious, and some were recording videos with their mobile phones for excitement.
The only thing in common was that the moment Wei Wan appeared, everyone in the corridor fell silent.
They dispersed silently, hating to not appear in Wei Wan's sight, but all their eyes were focused on Wei Wan.
As Su Yue made his way through the crowd, Wei Wan followed behind him. Su Yue could hear whispers among them.
"Go away, go away."
"Why is he here?"
"Did you hear that the man who died cursed him at the club activity last night?"
Wei Wan glanced in the direction of the sound, and it immediately became quiet there.
There was another discussion on the other side.
"Don't mess with him. If you do, he'll call you out tomorrow."
"Shh! Talking like that in front of him! You're crazy!"
Wei Wan didn't react this time. It wasn't necessarily because he didn't want to react, but before he had time to look over there, the sound of high heels clacking on the ground had already sounded before him.
The headmaster appeared in a hurry, carrying a small underarm bag and wearing high heels.
The dean of studies had such an aura as soon as she appeared that all the haze was temporarily dispelled, leaving only her strong presence.
"What are you doing?" She raised her voice and waved her hand. "Stop standing there! Aren't college students going to class?! You're hanging around here all day? You want to write a self-criticism, right?!"
Under her intimidation, the students scattered. Although the other players wanted to stay, they did not dare to stay with Wei Wan for too long, so they also left.
Soon, only Su Yue, Cang Zhi, Wei Wan and the dean were left in the corridor.
"What are you two doing here?" The Dean glanced at Su Yue and Cang Zhi, "Why don't you go to class?"
"They are my friends." Wei Wan replied.
"...Oh." The dean responded and actually didn't chase Su Yue and Cang Zhi away.
This was quite surprising, because when she first met the dean, her attitude towards Wei Wan was not very good, but in this matter, she was very accommodating to him.
This is not the dean's style at all.
Wei Wan seemed to see Su Yue's confusion and reminded him in a low voice, "This building was donated by my family."
Su Yue: "..."
oh.
The eldest young master is just extraordinary.
.
The dean of studies did not want Young Master Wei to be involved in the murder, but he did not dare to oppose the young master's strong desire to participate, so after glaring at Su Yue and Cang Zhi fiercely, he still put them into the music classroom.
This is actually very strange. Normal schools would never allow students to get close to the crime scene.
But this is a game world, not reality, and it's still a haunted world, so it seems reasonable for something like this to happen.
The classroom was filled with a strong smell of blood. As soon as I entered, I saw the grand piano that occupied the visual center of the entire classroom, and the player nailed to the grand piano.
His body was pierced by the sharp strings propped up by the piano lid, and his entire body was fixed almost hanging in the air. Most of the strings were dyed blood red, and some strings near the aorta were even covered with a thick layer of dark red blood stains.
The ground, the nearby curtains, and the piano were all splattered with blood. The spurting blood almost made it clear that the man had been nailed to the piano to death.
Even before death he was still struggling, so his ankles and feet were in a very twisted motion.
Wei Wan stood far away, looking at the piano and the dead person on it, frowning, and from time to time he would use the knuckle of his index finger to press against his forehead. It was obvious that he was having a headache again.
Even Su Yue felt a headache when he saw the player's miserable death.
Cangzhi even tried to cover Suyue's eyes again, and Suyue let him cover them for two seconds. After the discomfort in his heart flashed away, he pretended not to notice Cangzhi's behavior and told him not to do it in a unnecessary way.
Cang Zhi: “…”
He had a look on his face that said, "You were clearly enjoying being protected just now," but he still answered obediently, "Oh."
Su Yue looked up at the sky.
.
From the first day to now, two people have died, but the main storyline of the game is still a mystery.
So Su Yue walked forward to investigate the body.
The dean of studies was also staring at the corpse with a scrutinizing look. No one knew what he was thinking, but Su Yue's attention was first attracted by the player's shoes.
The deceased was wearing a pair of well-maintained brown leather shoes, but now the blood had soaked through the folds of the leather, and the shoes were obviously no longer wearable.
Su Yue gently touched Cang Zhi's wrist next to him.
Cang Zhi reacted immediately and whispered, "These are not his shoes."
Su Yue hummed.
This is actually a very obvious mistake, but it is impossible for NPCs to find it.
Because the deceased was a player.
It is impossible for players to completely regard themselves as game characters, because they always remember that they have to survive. It is absolutely impossible for them to wear small leather shoes that are inconvenient for exercise and only have decorative effects.
Whether he was forced to wear them or someone replaced them after his death, there was definitely something wrong with them.
Su Yue didn't say anything for the time being. He squatted down and lowered his eyes. The first thing he saw was the dead man's leather shoes.
There is a small stud on the tongue, which should be some kind of logo. There is a round bead on each side of the logo, connected by a wavy metal column in the middle. It is a little complicated but not cumbersome.
The entire buckle is silver, with a faint high-end, sea-blue sheen. Although this logo does not exist in the real world, it can be imagined that in this world view, it is a very expensive brand.
Su Yue kept this in mind, and then he noticed that the toe of the leather shoes had an abnormal bend.
He looked in the direction of the bent shoe tip and saw a faint flash of light under the velvet curtains.
Su Yue walked over and opened the curtains. With a "gulp" sound, the round statue rolled down from the small steps at the bottom of the wall.
It is a statue of a bird standing on one leg with ruby eyes.
Su Yue was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the legendary goldfinch statue at the school anniversary ceremony was so small that it could almost fit in the palm of his hand.
But he could tell at a glance that the goldfinch statue was very valuable. As a jewelry ornament, its fist-sized size was enough to make it extremely valuable.
Every feather on the goldfinch is carved to lifelike detail, gleaming with the luster of precious gold, and its ruby eyes are imperfect. Even someone who has no knowledge of jewelry appreciation would know at a glance that this goldfinch can fetch a high price.
.
The missing Ruby Goldfinch statue was actually found in this way. It was not stolen by some poor student as the dean said. It lay quietly under the curtain of the music classroom, as if someone had just put it there.
Su Yue thought for a moment, then stood up and called the dean, "Teacher."
"Don't bother the teacher if there's nothing wrong." The Dean of Studies pushed Su Yue back in a bad tone, "Can't you see I'm busy with work? The most important statuette for the school anniversary is lost. For us—"
Before she could finish her words, Su Yue had already handed the Ruby Goldfinch statue right under her nose with an expressionless face.
Dean of Studies: “…”
Surprisingly, after being slapped in the face, the Dean of Studies still spoke with a tone of authority, "How could the statue be found in a place like this? The thief who stole the statue probably got scared when he realized the situation was getting out of hand, so he secretly moved it here. But this matter won't just end like this!"
She waved the goldfinch in her hand and danced with joy. "I want to watch the surveillance camera check all the students in the music classroom one by one until—"
When he said this, the dean just straightened his belly and bent down, so his eyes turned downwards and fell on the feet of the dead "student".
Her face suddenly turned pale, and her exaggerated body movements stopped. She grabbed the arms of Wei Wan and Cang Zhi, who were closest to her, and said, "Get out! Both of you get out!"
.
No one could have imagined that the chubby headmaster in high heels could burst out with the momentum of a torpedo in an instant and push all three grown men out of the music classroom.
When Su Yue wanted to go back, she had already locked the door, so he obviously couldn't force his way in.
Moreover, Su Yue was also afraid that if he really angered her, she would directly expel him from school and forcibly strip him of his player identity, which would be a huge loss for him.
On the way back, Wei Wan kept complaining of a headache. Halfway through the walk, he even had such a severe headache that he couldn't continue walking. Su Yue quickly sent him to the school clinic.
.
Wei Wan was sitting on the hospital bed with a hot compress on her head.
This thing is said to relieve pain, but I don't know how effective it actually is.
The school doctor couldn't explain the cause of Wei Wan's headache, which was within Su Yue's expectations, because his pain was not physiological at all, it might be related to memory, or something else.
However, Wei Wan originally had a small face and fair skin, and now with that hot compress on her, she looked even more pitiful.
Su Yue thought for a moment and said, "Azhi, bring in a bottle of hot water."
Drink water if you feel any discomfort. This is a truth followed by some people in the East. Su Yue thought it made perfect sense.
There was a vending machine, a freezer and a heating cabinet outside the infirmary. Cangzhi immediately went out to buy water and soon came back with a bottle of hot mineral water.
Cang Zhi looked at Wei Wan, who looked haggard, thought for a moment, and handed the hot water to Su Yue.
Su Yue:?
He glared at Cang Zhi with a helpless look. Cang Zhi suddenly realized and handed the bottle of hot water to Wei Wan again.
Wei Wan: “…”
