Chapter 149 Is it a human or a ghost?
"You mean Mr. Zhu, the garbage collector, is gone? So suddenly? How come he's gone?"
As soon as Xia Xian returned to the dormitory, her roommates surrounded her and talked to her at once. After all, a murder happened not long after the school started, and everyone was panicked.
"Yes, it happened two days ago, on Friday night. Mr. Zhu didn't die of illness, but fell from the rooftop of a building in the boys' dormitory in the west district. He died tragically, his body rotted into a pile of flesh. It was horrible."
"But everyone only found out in the morning. No one knew when he fell down that night."
As they talked about it, they couldn't help but shudder, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.
"Did he fall from the building by himself? What did the police say? Why did he go to the rooftop for no reason?"
Xia Xian was a little puzzled. Although school had just started, the garbage collector, Uncle Zhu, was very humorous and liked to greet and chat with every student he passed by, so everyone became familiar with him.
But he is old after all, and his legs and feet are not convenient for him to climb stairs. He usually does not take the initiative to go upstairs, which means that the possibility of him falling from the building is very small.
It is very likely that he was deceived or forced into this position by someone.
"I don't know. The investigation hasn't come out yet. Anyway, the school doesn't allow us to discuss this matter. They said they will announce the results when they are out. Now they haven't said anything, but everyone guesses that Mr. Zhu didn't die accidentally. There must be a murderer who pushed him down. The distance and posture of a person who came down from the tower crane are not what a person would do if he committed suicide. He must have been pushed away violently!"
Gathered in this school are extremely smart students from all over the country. Through mathematical calculations, they can deduce one or two truths. At least, the distance of a suicide jump is different from the distance of being pushed down from a building. They are 100% sure of this.
Uncle Zhu was murdered in school. Who knows if the murderer is still hiding in the school? What if he has any bad intentions towards the students?
Whenever people think about the fact that they live in the same place with the murderer, they can't help but feel a little panicked. No wonder there is so much discussion about it. Everyone wants to catch the murderer as soon as possible so that they can return to a normal and peaceful life.
"And most importantly! Mr. Zhu's death may not be caused by humans! It may be caused by a ghost!"
"What???"
Xia Xian was still thinking about how someone could have such a conflict with a kindly garbage collector to the point of wanting to murder him, when she heard her roommate blurt out these words in a mysterious and secretive manner. Xia Xian couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. How did the focus suddenly shift here?
Even though the college entrance examination has been resumed, those supernatural things are still strictly prohibited. If you are not careful...
"Hush, don't talk nonsense, be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall."
Xia Xian reminded cautiously.
In her opinion, these were all nonsense. Although she was a reborn person, no matter whether she had lived for so many years in her previous life or after her rebirth in this life, she had never seen anything abnormal except her. Oh no, there was also Chu Nannan, but they were all reborn. She had never seen anything in a ghost state.
Therefore, Xia Xian is still a staunch materialist and will not easily believe in those messy things.
Moreover, if what they said was heard by others and reported by someone with bad intentions, they would be in great trouble.
"It's okay. People next door are also talking about it. Everyone is talking about it. Really, Xia Xian, we are not lying to you. We didn't think about it in that direction at first. But in the past two days, many people have seen a shadow floating in the air, and it also stretched out its hands and made a push-down gesture!"
"He will roam around all over the campus! People in the East and West districts have seen him in the middle of the night!!!"
"Really! If no one had seen this, it wouldn't have spread so widely! Now everyone knows about it!"
They are really not sensational, but real, and some people have witnessed it with their own eyes!
"Really? Have you seen it with your own eyes?"
If so many people had really seen it, Xia Xian would also be worried.
"We haven't seen it, but Xiaowan next door has."
"She was so scared that she fell ill and asked for leave to go home. She said that she got up to go to the bathroom at night and saw a figure wearing red clothes and with long flowing hair floating in the air looking at her. She woke up instantly and her scream woke us all up."
The roommate said, still in shock, and couldn't help patting her chest. This matter was so close to them! If they were not from the local area, they would have asked for leave and avoided it for a while.
Li Xiaowan's home is in Beijing, so she packed up and went home early this morning. She was frightened and absolutely did not dare to stay on campus anymore.
I heard that she would not come back until this matter was over. Otherwise, she would not come back even if she did not want to study in this university. This shows how scared she was yesterday, and she even gave up the university that she had worked so hard to get.
“I see.”
Xia Xian seemed to be thinking about something. If so many people really saw it with their own eyes, then the shadow must really exist. However, it was hard to say whether it was a real ghost or someone was playing tricks.
"Yes! It's really scary. I don't dare to go to the toilet or take a shower at night. I only go in the daytime when there are many people around."
"I don't even dare to go during the day. From now on, we should go to the toilet together. This way we will feel safer."
"Okay, okay, no problem."
At first they were skeptical and not that scared, but the students next door said they saw it and their screams were deafening. How could they not be scared when they were in the situation themselves?
Xia Xian also agreed. It would be safer to act together no matter whether they were humans or ghosts.
However, the accident happened in a male dormitory in the West District where Uncle Zhu lived. Isn’t that the one where Quan Ruifeng lives?
The two of them were assigned to dormitories in the East and West Districts respectively, which were far away from each other. However, the teaching buildings where they had classes were quite close. After class, they could go out for dinner together, stroll around the campus, and then return to the dormitory. Living far away did not have much of an impact.
I just didn’t expect this to happen suddenly, and right downstairs of Quan Ruifeng’s dormitory.
Xia Xian couldn't sit still and took action immediately.
"I'm going to go out for a moment."
