Cen Yu's words made Fan Jie lower his head, not daring to look at him again.
Cen Yu snorted, exposing Fan Jie's excuse—the other party wasn't thinking of returning to Meiman Middle School to resolve the matter because of a guilty conscience.
Rather, it was because he suddenly remembered that the words he had blurted out back then included himself as one of the targets of his curse.
Otherwise, Cen Yu believed that this person could stay in his own city with a clear conscience and had no intention of coming back.
“…What do we do now?” Jiang Tuan kicked Fan Jie, then looked at Cen Yu.
He Yongning remained silent. From the moment Pei Hengyun exposed Yu Sheng's identity until now, he was still pondering, "Why does Fan Jie remember... but we don't?"
This was also a question that Cen Yu was curious about.
The process of making a wish is not in the minds of this group of people.
"Could it be because his wish was not fulfilled?" Jiang Tuan guessed.
After all, Fan Jie was interrupted by Lao Cen when he was speaking... Thinking of this, he looked at Cen Yu, "Do you... still remember Lao Cen?"
"Of course I don't remember," Cen Yu thought.
His mind was blank; there was nothing there.
He guessed that even if this plot was real, he would have to figure it out himself before it would load... He was like playing a first-person horror puzzle game, and without enough information, his identity remained a mystery.
He certainly wouldn't say this to Jiang Tuan, so he just shook his head.
Jiang Tuan was also somewhat disappointed upon seeing this... He glanced back at the classroom doorway, "We probably can't leave, right?"
Cen Yu sat down at the table behind her again. Yu Sheng hadn't come over yet. Did he think it was unnecessary? Or did he find their analysis amusing?
He looked at Pei Hengyun beside him, "How much do you remember?"
Pei Hengyun, who died in his second year of high school and was not human either, should not be as easily fooled as this group of people.
Pei Hengyun shook his head, "...None of you could see me back then."
“After graduation, I left my hometown with you. That’s when I realized I was slowly becoming a real person and could contact people.” He looked at Cen Yu. “I tried to greet you, but you didn’t recognize me at all and even asked who I was?”
As Pei Hengyun narrated this, an image appeared in Cen Yu's mind.
It was during his freshman year of college. He was working at a restaurant when a stranger grabbed his hand.
Call him Xiao Yu.
He instinctively wanted to shake off the other person, but noticed that the person looked disappointed. After a moment of silence, he asked the other person what they wanted to do.
And this person was Pei Hengyun.
It seems that only when one comes into contact with the corresponding plot will the memories in one's mind appear, Cen Yu thought to himself.
Based on this, it seems that after they all left this place, he came to the city where he is now to attend university, and then he met Pei Hengyun, who already had the ability to maintain a human appearance and be visible to everyone.
but……
Cen Yu sized up Pei Hengyun, "Why are you impersonating an art teacher?"
"I...I didn't impersonate anyone," Pei Hengyun hurriedly explained, afraid that Cen Yu wouldn't believe him. "I just..."
He said somewhat awkwardly, "I don't want you to find out that I don't actually have a job."
"Besides, being an art teacher has always been my dream."
After thinking for a moment, Cen Yu understood that Yu Sheng had died in the area many years ago, and given that there weren't many people at Meiman Middle School and their relationships weren't complicated, and the entire village only had so many people, it would be even easier to change everyone's memories.
However, he and Pei Hengyun lived in a large city.
They need to interact with too many people, and Pei Hengyun was a kid who died in his second year of high school, so his abilities aren't that strong...
He Yongning looked at Pei Hengyun, who was trying to explain, and then at Fan Jie, who seemed to be trying to sneak away. He blocked Fan Jie's way with his leg and said, "If you want to die, then go ahead and run."
Do you think Yu Sheng will let you off the hook?
He squinted at Fan Jie, "You live with him, so guess who would have died tonight if it weren't for this accident?"
He could sense that Yu Sheng had called them back in order to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.
And Fan Jie, the instigator, was definitely the first one.
"But...but..." Fan Jie was also frightened by He Yongning's words, "Why would he want to kill me?"
"My wish has not been fulfilled at all..."
Cen Yu found Fan Jie's question ridiculously stupid.
Who says that fulfilling a wish must be done in the way one expects?
“You died,” he said, pointing at Fan Jie. “Then your body was taken away. Doesn’t that count as leaving here and going home?”
"And your death will also fulfill everyone's wish to die."
Cen Yu was about to say something more when he suddenly heard familiar footsteps.
"Da da da".
The voice was neither hurried nor slow, and there was no deliberate attempt to lighten the footsteps, as if the group of people didn't care whether they would notice.
"They're here," Cen Yu said, looking down the corridor.
Upon hearing this, the group immediately looked towards the corridor... Cen Yu glanced at the corridor and realized that if they ran out now, they would only be caught on the spot by Yu Sheng. He immediately turned around and looked at the window behind him.
This is the second floor. As long as you are agile enough, you won't die if you jump down.
He thought to himself and immediately headed towards the window, "Here."
Upon seeing this, He Yongning and Jiang Tuan immediately understood Cen Yu's meaning, but they noticed that Fan Jie seemed terrified and unwilling to go over.
"You two go first," Cen Yu said to He Yongning and Jiang Tuan.
Jiang Tuan was about to say something when He Yongning grabbed him, saying, "Let's go."
As they spoke, the two of them immediately climbed over the open window, stepped onto the protruding part under the second-floor window, and landed lightly on the ground.
Cen Yu tugged at Fan Jie. If it weren't for the fact that one of the system's missions was to change everyone's fate, he wouldn't have cared about this idiot's life or death at all. He looked at Pei Hengyun and said, "Give me a hand."
Pei Hengyun glanced at the corridor outside, and seemed quite nervous as well.
But he still grabbed Fan Jie, who knew this man was a ghost and instinctively tried to shake off his arm—
"You're stupid!" Cen Yu couldn't take it anymore and grabbed Fan Jie by the collar. "If you really want to die, then I won't stop you."
As he spoke, he said to Pei Hengyun, "Let's go!"
Yu Sheng's footsteps grew closer, and they could even hear him softly humming a song—
Cen Yu opened the window and was about to jump off the edge when Pei Hengyun suddenly grabbed his arm.
Then Pei Hengjun carried him and slowly floated down to the ground.
Next to him was Fan Jie, who had fallen down with a thud.
Cen Yu grabbed Pei Hengyun and ran. When she turned around, she saw Yu Sheng standing on the edge of the window with his head sticking out.
Seeing the group fleeing, he remained completely unperturbed, even sporting a smile, which only added to the eeriness of the dark, empty classroom.
Cen Yu looked at Yu Sheng and couldn't help but give him the middle finger.
Yu Sheng wasn't angry; in fact, Cen Yu's action made him laugh... He leaned against the window, watching the fleeing group—
"Run faster."
He said.
