Cen Yu wasn't stupid; of course he could sense the undercurrents between Pei Hengyun and He Yongning.
Logically speaking, these two used to be deskmates, and given that they are the main characters, the top and the bottom, why did their seemingly sarcastic remarks give Cen Yu a strange feeling—
He Yongning was targeting Pei Hengjun's feelings.
"Where are the others?" Cen Yu asked He Yongning.
"I'm going back first," He Yongning said. "It's just a few of us who said we wanted to come and look around."
He looked at Pei Hengyun, "Shall we go down and play basketball now?"
"I kind of miss your ball skills."
Pei Hengyun simply smiled but did not respond to He Yongning's words... He turned to look at Cen Yu, his expression becoming much more sincere.
"Let's go down first," he said to Cen Yu with some fear.
"...I feel a bit eerie here."
Cen Yu started his usual line again, "I told you, there are no ghosts in the world, they're all fake!"
He Yongning seemed intrigued by his words, "Really? You really think there are no ghosts in this world?"
“Of course not!” Cen Yu said immediately.
"What about the people in the live stream?"
"It was all for the show." Cen Yu had just finished speaking when he looked at He Yongning, "You watched my live stream replay?"
“Hmm.” He Yongning didn’t shy away from it. He looked at Cen Yu and Pei Hengyun in front of him and said, “I only looked at the most recent one, the one about the haunted villa.”
"What exactly was that last thing that appeared?" He Yongning looked at Cen Yu, his eyes were very deep, and his gaze was full of inquiry.
"I could tell that something unexpected had happened during the live stream."
"So what was that last thing that jumped out...? A person? Or something else?"
What else could it be but a ghost? Cen Yu rolled her eyes at He Yongning in her mind.
This isn't something you can tell just by looking at it.
But in order to maintain his public image, he calmly told He Yongning, "I am a person."
"The homeless man I found."
"..." He Yongning frowned, seemingly not expecting Cen Yu to be so stubborn.
Pei Hengyun, who was standing to the side, laughed. "That's just how Xiao Yu is," he said to He Yongning. "He never believes in the existence of ghosts."
"A staunch atheist."
It was through Pei Hengyun's reminder that Cen Yu suddenly discovered something.
In the original book, the author is a staunch atheist who, no matter what strange things happen, can stubbornly come up with a scientific explanation that he himself does not believe.
It wasn't until after the class reunion that she perhaps truly realized the existence of this "ghost," which is why she was so terrified that night that she locked Pei Hengyun in the room and then ran away alone.
By the time they were discovered, they had already been killed by that "ghost".
But I had only just entered this village and I had already been harassed three times by that damned ghost hand... Why wasn't this part of the story in the original book?
Even if it's a plot hole, isn't this going a bit too far?!
etc……
Cen Yu suddenly realized a possibility, but he could only wait until the ghost hand appeared again to verify it.
At this moment, the group heard Jiang Tuan calling their names from downstairs. Realizing that Jiang Tuan had borrowed the basketball, Cen Yu and the others decided to leave the classroom first.
He Yongning walked at the front, followed by Cen Yu and Pei Hengyun walking side by side.
Pei Hengyun was still discussing tomorrow's plans with Cen Yu when they reached the corner of the stairs... Because the stairs weren't very wide, Cen Yu slowed down a bit and walked behind Pei Hengyun.
The anomaly occurred at that moment.
At this moment, He Yongning had already reached the corner of the stairs, while Pei Hengyun had only reached the middle of the stairs, and Cen Yu had just come downstairs...
Cen Yu tapped the handrail beside her with her fingers, looking at herself in the mirror at the corner of the stairs. She thought that if this thing were placed here, it could scare half of the students coming home from evening self-study to death.
He looked at himself in the mirror, and as he looked, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
Why did he feel like his reflection in the mirror was smiling at him?
Cen Yu frowned and subconsciously touched his face, only to find that his reflection in the mirror was not moving at all, but simply smiling at him.
not good!
Cen Yu immediately realized that the "ghost" had appeared!
Just as she was about to remind Pei Hengyun not to look in the mirror, she noticed that Pei Hengyun smiled when he saw his reflection in the mirror... He opened his mouth, as if to call Cen Yu's name.
Looking at his smiling self in the mirror, blood suddenly spilled from the corner of his eye, and the next second he turned into an extremely terrifying ghost, then roared and tried to crawl out of the mirror!
Cen Yu was so startled by this sudden attack that he almost lost his footing, even though he had a premonition. He only managed to avoid falling because he immediately gripped the hand that had been on the handrail.
Pei Hengyun, however, was not so lucky... He was frightened when he was halfway down the stairs, and what's more, the ghostly figure in the mirror was clearly his own image. Before Cen Yu could even reach out, the other person had already lost his footing and tumbled down the stairs.
Standing at the corner of the stairs, He Yongning glanced at the mirror behind him, then immediately went over and reached out to help Pei Hengyun, who had rolled to the corner of the stairs.
Cen Yu hurried down the stairs to check on Pei Hengyun, who had fallen at the corner of the stairs—
“…Xiao Yu…”
Pei Hengyun had some abrasions on his face and arms, and he was pale with fright.
Just as Cen Yu leaned closer, he immediately hugged her, burying his face in her chest, "...You just saw it..."
