Chapter 681 The Ninth Person
It was almost noon.
Jiang Han and Jiang Xuxu walked around a few places in the school. Seeing that everything was normal in the academy, he suggested to Jiang Xuxu to go to the cafeteria for lunch.
When Jiang Xuxu heard that they were going to eat in the cafeteria, the food in the Taoist Academy flashed through her mind, and she immediately refused sternly,
"I ordered takeout."
Jiang Han had been in contact with her for half a year, and he could barely understand her temperament a little. Hearing this, he suddenly said,
"You are not afraid of eating in the cafeteria, are you?"
Seeing Jiang Xuxu looking at him expressionlessly, Jiang Han had the illusion of regaining his face here.
"Don't worry, our school cafeteria is famous for being clean and delicious."
After a pause, he added, "It's different from the cafeteria of your Taoist Academy."
The fact that the cafeteria of Haishi Taoist Academy was unpalatable was broadcast live on the Internet.
Jiang Xuxu felt that Jiang Han would not have the guts to fool her, so she followed him.
When he left, he specially invited Qiao Yu to go with him.
Jiang Han:...
He invited me to dinner, why did he invite this person?
Although he snorted in his heart, he didn't show it on his face.
Qiao Yu followed him all morning, so he naturally agreed. The three of them ordered stir-fried dishes. While waiting for the dishes, Qiao Yu asked about the places Jiang Xuxu had taken them to in the morning.
Jiang Xuxu did not hide it either, and said,
"Generally speaking, mass suicide can be divided into voluntary and involuntary."
"In modern society, it is basically impossible for a group of people to die together, so the possibility of involuntary suicide is greater."
Involuntary suicide is more likely to come from external factors.
Collective evil spirits, the influence of the resentment array, just like the abandoned teaching building that was affected by the resentful bones, all the students who died before and after committed suicide because of the influence of resentment.
The places that Jiang Xuxu went to this morning were to investigate this aspect.
From the results.
Although the Feng Shui of the Ocean University is not perfect, the overall layout is open and it is a righteous and enlightened school layout that attracts people to learn.
Apart from the evil means, there are some scientific means left.
For example, collective hypnosis.
...
The boys' dormitory building.
Xu Tao is a student of the Computer Science Department, Grade 22.
There were no classes this morning, so he and two other roommates slept until after ten o'clock before getting up. After playing games for a while, they ordered a takeout.
He casually put the red oil-stained box lid aside, and it happened to rest on a book on the table.
Seeing this, his roommate couldn't help but say, "When Qiao Yu comes back and sees you, he will be angry with you again."
Xu Tao sneered, "Am I afraid of him?"
With a sneer on his face, he picked up the chopsticks and slurped the noodles.
The other two roommates ignored it and ate the takeout in their hands.
Suddenly, Xu Tao, who was sitting opposite him, seemed to have something stuck in his throat, and he dropped his chopsticks and spit out the noodles.
The two roommates thought he was just choked for a moment, but they didn't expect Xu Tao's face to turn red, and his throat seemed to be still short of breath, and he kept making a chuckle.
After trying several methods to stop the coughing, the two roommates became anxious.
"Go to the infirmary!"
Hearing the voice, Xu Tao seemed to have grasped some life-saving code. He immediately stood up, pinched his neck and walked out quickly.
Their dormitory building is a U-shaped building, and there is a corridor surrounded by railings outside the dormitory door.
The two roommates were worried about Xu Tao and followed him out.
Just as he turned around to lock the door, he saw Xu Tao suddenly pushed away the roommate who was supporting him, as if he was possessed by a demon, and actually climbed over the railing and jumped down without saying a word.
The two roommates didn't even have time to react until they heard screams from downstairs.
They turned pale and fell over to look down. The next second, they both fell to the ground.
At the same time, on several buildings in the school, several students looked at their phones, and then walked to the windows or balconies as if they had agreed. They
turned over and prepared to jump down.
However, just as they leaned out and prepared to go down, they saw a shadow flying down quickly from above their heads.
They looked up subconsciously and saw a paper man on the roof blowing straight towards their faces.
The bodies of those paper men seemed to brush past their heads and then fell straight down.
For a moment, they seemed to see themselves falling downstairs, their bodies smashed into a pool of blood and mud.
Bang. With
a shock in their minds, they rushed back upstairs and fell to the ground, their faces full of fear.
When they recovered and looked down again, there was no body downstairs.
There was not even a body made of paper, only a little black ash in the air.
...
It was just after noon.
Jiang Xuxu's dishes had just been served, and she was about to start eating, but suddenly she seemed to sense something and paused. She
put down her chopsticks and took out her mobile phone.
The phone rang at the right time, and the caller ID showed that it was Qi Tianchu.
It was a member of the Hai City Security Bureau.
It was also the helper she contacted in advance.
This was a case of mass suicide, and Jiang Xuxu had never intended to handle it alone. After
her paper substitutes died, someone was needed to immediately identify the identities of the eight people.
Qi Tianchu called to synchronize the situation with her.
"The people have been found, and the police have been notified to take them back, but the situation may be different from what you said."
He paused and said,
"It wasn't eight people who jumped from the building, but nine."
Jiang Xuxu paused, and subconsciously looked at Qiao Yu. She looked at the other person with her almond-shaped eyes, but she was asking Qi Tianchu on the other end of the phone,
"Who is the extra person?"
"He's from the boys' dormitory building, his name is Xu Tao. Although he jumped down, fortunately it was on the third floor. He didn't die, he just broke his bones. The ambulance has been notified."
"I understand. Thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Xuxu hung up the phone, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked at Qiao Yu and told her the news he had just received.
Hearing that nine people jumped off the building instead of eight, Qiao Yu showed only a little surprise,
"Nine? Oh, maybe I remembered it wrong."
Jiang Xuxu looked at his seemingly surprised but not too surprised expression, and asked,
"The only one who successfully jumped off the building is called Xu Tao, do you know him?"
Qiao Yu was also unambiguous,
"I know Xu Tao."
He said with regret, "He is my roommate."
Jiang Xuxu looked at his increasingly clumsy acting skills, and his eyes faded a little,
"Except Xu Tao, the identities of the other eight people have been confirmed by the Security Bureau, and the reasons behind their collective suicide will soon be found out.
So now you can tell me why you lied?"
It's not that nine people lied about eight people, but...
"There has never been a mass suicide of students in another world."
Jiang Xuxu asked in a deep voice,
"Who are you?"
Facing Jiang Xuxu's question, Qiao Yu's expression did not change, and he still looked like an honest man, but his eyebrows and eyes were less pretentious, and more innocent.
"I didn't mean to lie to you."
He said,
"At the beginning, I planned to have eight people. The ninth Xu Tao... was added temporarily."
Who asked him to deliberately dirty his clothes that day~
