Chapter 62 Reversal of Middle School (11) - The Top Student is Killed
In the last mock exam, even the worst student managed to get a few points, but this time, so many students got zeros – it's truly unprecedented.
Ning Shu took a look and saw that there were still some player names.
These players either didn't hire someone to take the test for them, or they discovered the same problem when they took the test for someone else—their scores weren't very good.
Ning Shu guessed that the people whose names were blank at the top of the list were still the same group as before.
Their grades were still excellent, but because of the cheating incident, their names couldn't be displayed, so they ended up like this.
The bottom-ranked players with zero points are even easier to understand; they were all players who didn't do the questions at all, and didn't even write down the names of the people who took the test for them.
This results in having to face the teachers' roars.
"Look at you all! The big exam is just around the corner, and you're all not even doing the questions, let alone writing your names!" The teacher held up the blank exam papers, exasperated.
"You're all doomed after the big exam," the teacher said, slapping the table.
Ning Shu ignored the teacher's "earnest admonitions," picked up the pen and gestured on the paper, and discovered a big problem: the pen had no ink!
She quickly unscrewed the pen and saw that there was indeed no ink inside!
This game system is a bit stingy; they give you a pen but not a drop of ink.
It was a small matter; she could just buy a bottle of ink from the school store after class.
Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi also noticed the problem of the pen not writing, and they had the same idea as Ning Shu.
So after class, the task of buying ink was assigned to Wu Yi.
Wu Yi didn't know if Tuya knew about this, but considering they were teammates, he went to find Tuya first.
The graffiti was in Class 15, one floor away from theirs.
Not long after, Wu Yi ran back to the classroom with the graffiti and shouted that something bad had happened when he saw Ning Shu and the others.
Ning Shu didn't take Wu Yi's words to heart, after all, he always made a fuss over the smallest things.
But when she confirmed the information they had given her, her first thought was: This is bad!
"Sister Ning, the graffiti says Zeng Shaobo is dead!"
"What?!"
Wu Yi repeated himself, admitting that he had also found it unbelievable.
After hearing this, Cheng Chuan pulled them all aside and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
The graffiti trembled slightly before calmly saying, "I just heard someone block Zeng Shaobo's road, steal his pen, and then kill him."
Cheng Chuan: "Do you know who did it?"
Graffiti: "I don't know them, but it seems like it was done by two people, one of whom called the other 'Monkey King'."
Monkey King? Isn't that their classmate?
Cheng Chuan immediately looked at Ning Shu, who asked in surprise, "Are you sure you didn't hear wrong?"
The graffiti artist was troubled: "How can I do something so serious? I'm sure I heard 'Monkey King,' that's how it's pronounced."
Ning Shu looked at Cheng Chuan: "Weren't they in class just now? You saw it too, right?"
Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi both nodded, but Cheng Chuan asked, "Are you sure it just happened?"
The graffiti had barely opened its mouth when someone outside the teaching building shouted.
"Murder! Murder!"
"A student has been murdered on campus."
The corridor was instantly packed with people, all looking down at the scene as if watching a spectacle.
Who was killed?
"It seems to be from Class 1, but I don't know exactly who."
"We'll find out who's not there when class starts."
The students in the hallway were discussing something when they encountered a teacher who came out to maintain order, and the teacher herded everyone back into the classroom.
Ning Shu and the others were also driven back to the classroom by the teacher, but they didn't move.
The graffiti was a little scared, fearing that the two players would also come after him, since their goal was to steal the pen.
He looked at Cheng Chuan and the others helplessly: "Brother Chuan, Sister Ning, what should I do? Will they come after me?"
Ning Shu was very direct: "Possibly, but they might be more interested in us, after all, the three of us have three fountain pens."
This sentence awakened Ning Shu and Cheng Chuan.
Right, if their target was the pen, why didn't they just rob them directly instead of robbing Zeng Shaobo's?
Monkey King and his group only have two people. They can achieve their goal by robbing Ning Shu once. Why not choose them?
Cheng Chuan: "Maybe they know they can't beat us?"
Ning Shu did not rule out this possibility, but how did they know that Zeng Shaobo had a fountain pen?
Moreover, they didn't rob them earlier or later; they only robbed them after they got clues from Zeng Shaobo.
A sudden inspiration struck them, and Ning Shu and Cheng Chuan spoke at the same time: "They might be spying on us!"
Ning Shu looked at the graffiti: "Are you sure no one has been monitoring or following us these past few days?"
Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi also looked at the graffiti. The graffiti was stunned by the question, and before he could answer, the teacher's voice came through.
"What are you four doing? Instead of going back to the classroom to study, are you trying to rebel?!"
After hearing this, Ning Shu said to Tuya, "Why don't you just come and stay in our class? If the teacher asks, you can explain it yourself. Be thick-skinned."
Graffiti was overjoyed and cried tears of joy. That's perfectly fine; he can be incredibly thick-skinned.
The teacher naturally had some opinions about the new student.
But the graffiti refused to leave, squeezing into the last row with Cheng Chuan and the others. It was quite attentive in class and did not disrupt classroom discipline, so the teachers gave up.
The graffiti wasn't really paying attention in class; it was just an act. All she could think about was how they had spent the past few days together, trying to figure out where things had gone wrong.
Suddenly, he looked at Wu Yi and sized him up.
This gaze made Wu Yi feel uneasy. At this moment, Wu Yi's paranoia kicked in: Could he be trying to frame me?
Tuya whispered to Cheng Chuan, "Brother Chuan, the question Sister Ning asked me just now suddenly reminded me that something has been really off around us these past few days."
Cheng Chuan knew Wu Yi had something to say from the moment he started scrutinizing him with graffiti, so he waited, and this was what he got in return.
"How so?"
Graffiti: "These past few days I've been hearing mosquitoes buzzing around us. I didn't pay attention at first, but the sound has been going on and on."
Now that I think about it, maybe this mosquito was listening in or monitoring us?
Cheng Chuan raised an eyebrow: "Then what did you mean by looking at Wu Yi just now?"
The graffiti looked at Wu Yi sheepishly, then said:
“I noticed that the mosquito seemed to be on Wu Yi the whole time, and the sound seemed to be coming from his left shoulder.”
Upon hearing this, Wu Yi exclaimed: "Holy crap, he really framed me! Brother Chuan definitely won't believe him; we have such a strong revolutionary bond."
His martial arts skills are extremely solid.
Then Wu Yi heard Cheng Chuan ask him, "Wu Yi, have you noticed any mosquitoes following you around?"
Wu Yi shook his head instinctively, but then he stopped.
Thinking back, it seems I heard mosquitoes a few times, and I even reached out to swat them, but I missed.
"I think I've heard mosquitoes buzzing a few times, but I haven't seen them anywhere."
Cheng Chuan continued, "Where were you when you heard it?"
Wu Yi thought for a moment, then hesitated before answering, "It seems like it really is my left shoulder."
Cheng Chuan concluded: "There is a high possibility that we are being monitored. What we need to figure out now is why Monkey and his gang can both attend classes and commit murder."
