Yu Qirong looked up to see who the new transfer student was, but when he opened his eyes, he saw a group of classmates sitting upright on chairs - classmates who were in good health and had no disabilities.
The familiar movements that were out of control and the inability to make sounds made Yu Qirong instantly understand his current situation.
Perhaps because he had experienced this feeling too many times, he did not act rashly. Instead, he listened to "himself" introducing himself calmly: "Hello everyone, my name is Yu Lin, Gan Gou Yu, Shuang Mulin. I am very happy to transfer to Lanxi High School. I hope to get along well with everyone!"
The boy's voice was clear and loud, full of youthfulness, and the name he said sounded very familiar.
Yu Qirong turned the name over in his mind and finally remembered that it seemed to be the original name of Mirror Ghost, but it was not used often, so it would take some time for him to react.
...In other words, this time his illusion landed him in the body of the Mirror Ghost.
Since he didn't need to control his left and right bodies, Yu Qirong simply stayed in Yu Lin's body and served as a spectator dutifully.
The ordinary student life was not much different from what Yu Qirong had experienced. The only difference was that the teachers had more than just a smile on their faces, and the students did not have any missing limbs.
Yu Lin's academic performance was good, so there was nothing to worry about, but he was a heavy smoker and would always go to the store to trade some cigarette paper and tobacco with the owner when no one was paying attention.
Because it was at school, this kind of thing couldn't be done too obviously. Things like cigarettes were even more difficult to purchase, so the boss had to get some things that could be brought in without being easily discovered.
Yu Qirong watched thoughtfully as Yu Lin took out a few banknotes from his pocket, handed them over as if nothing had happened, and then quickly handed over the goods from the boss.
So this is what money is, and this is how you buy things.
People who like to smoke usually have a strong smoking addiction, but school is obviously not a place where one can smoke at any time.
Yu Lin thought of a good place, which was the empty classroom next to the principal's office.
The principal's office was located on a very high floor to avoid noise. Apart from the principal and teachers, few people come here at other times.
If there is smoke, you can open the window to dissipate it without worrying about anyone noticing.
As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
Yu Lin felt that this place was really good for hiding from others, so it became the best place for him to smoke.
Until one day, he sneaked into the room next to the principal's office as usual, opened the window, took out the cigarette he had rolled long ago, and lit it.
It wasn't long to smoke a cigarette, but it was enough for him to hear someone entering the principal's office outside.
Yu Lin's movements immediately became smaller. He moved his position cautiously while trying to speed up his smoking.
But at the same time, the sound that Yu Qirong heard at the door of the principal's office was heard next door.
Yu Lin paused and followed the change in the volume of the sound to find the hole that could see the opposite side. Through Yu Lin's eyes, Yu Qirong saw the face of the girl opposite.
She is a girl in Yu Lin’s class, her name is Xia Sheng.
In his memory, Yu Qirong couldn't match her with the classmate he remembered, so he paid special attention to her.
Xia Sheng kept struggling, but due to the disparity in strength, her struggle was stopped again and again.
Yu Lin breathed softly, but his body couldn't help shaking. If the small hole hadn't been placed close to it, it wouldn't have been discovered. But Xia Sheng's desperate gaze fell on that inconspicuous spot on the wall.
Tears slid down her face, and the despair and hatred in her eyes made Yu Qirong in Yu Lin's body couldn't help but frown.
While struggling, Yu Lin saw the face of the attacker clearly - it was the principal whom he had only met once at the welcome ceremony.
The principal was fat and had a small head, like a chicken with a light head and a heavy butt. Coincidentally, the principal's surname was Ji, and his classmates secretly gave him a nickname because of this, so Yu Lin was particularly impressed.
It turned out to be Principal Ji.
Yu Lin subconsciously stepped back, but his legs hit the tables and chairs next to him.
The rustling sound of the tables and chairs moving was loud enough to alert people next door that there were people here.
Yu Lin quickly realized this and chose to escape immediately, rushing out of the room without even having time to clean up the traces he had left in the room.
In fact, a big part of the reason why Yu Lin was never caught was that he would dispose of cigarette butts and ashes after each smoking. But this time, the incident happened in a hurry and he couldn't take care of it.
Yu Lin returned to his seat, looking aimlessly at a small area of land in front of him, hugging his arms and shaking unconsciously. Seeing this, the classmates next to him kindly came over to ask him what was wrong.
Of course he couldn't tell everyone what he saw, so he could only lie on the table, cover his eyes, and stammer that he was sleepy.
"Why do you smell like cigarettes? Did you go to the grocery store again?" His deskmate was closest to him and smelled the special smell on Yu Lin.
These words were not directed at Yu Lin. Everyone knew that the owner of the convenience store liked to smoke. Every time he went to the convenience store, there was always a cloud of smoke, and when he came out he would be more or less smell of cigarettes.
But Yu Lin had something to hide at this moment, and was too sensitive to his deskmate's question. His breathing stagnated, and he suddenly retorted loudly from between his arms: "I didn't!"
My deskmate was stunned: "If there is no answer, then there is no answer. Why are you making such a loud noise?"
It shouldn't be discovered.
Yu Lin consoled himself by thinking that even if they saw the cigarette butt, they might not be able to trace it back to him. As long as he didn't say anything, who would know that it was him in the next room?
As for Xia Sheng...
Yu Lin subconsciously forgot about his female classmate. If someone else saw this scene, they might not say anything... After all, Lanxi High School was built in a slightly remote place so that students could study with peace of mind.
In such a remote place, the principal's words are like an imperial decree, and other information cannot be passed on... Even if he stood up, he would probably be intimidated.
But on the very next day after the incident, news of Xia Sheng's death came. It was said that he fell from a building and was smashed to pieces, and even his appearance could not be seen clearly.
At the same time, Yu Lin also heard that the school was investigating the matter thoroughly. They said that cigarette butts were found in the classroom where Xia Sheng jumped from the building. It was also found that Xia Sheng had signs of being insulted. It was possible that the smoker had harmed Xia Sheng in a moment of impulse.
Everyone knows that smoking is prohibited in school. The most likely suspect is the convenience store owner, but the convenience store owner was not in school that day, saying that he had gone out to purchase goods.
Buying goods from a small shop owner is a gray transaction, but when it involves human life, the problem is serious. The owner certainly knows who has bought goods from him, and Yu Lin is one of them.
Yu Lin had originally planned to be a coward, but Principal Ji's confusion of right and wrong made him the target of public criticism. Especially since he was in the same class with Xia Sheng, he stood out among the few students who bought cigarettes.
He spent the whole day in fear and panic, and at night he secretly took out his mobile phone, wanting to seek help from the police. Nanfeng understood my intention and told me the truth.
But the signal in school is poor, and it is difficult to even dial through, let alone have a normal conversation.
Although there was no evidence, almost everyone in the class conceded that he was the murderer. The looks in his classmates' eyes made him afraid, which seemed to confirm their speculation.
Under their suspicious eyes, Yu Lin became more and more silent, and his will became more and more depressed. In this situation, cigarettes became something that could comfort him.
His smoking addiction not only did not get suppressed, but became increasingly difficult to control. And since everyone knew he was a heavy smoker, he no longer had to be shy about it.
The empty classroom next to the classroom became his frequent haunt.
The ground was littered with his cigarette butts.
The empty classroom was originally prepared for their class. The furnishings in their classroom were too old, and it just so happened that the classroom next door had new desks and was repainted.
The teacher asked Yu Lin and three other students to clean the empty classroom, saying that they could prepare to move in the next day.
What followed was the scene that Yu Qirong saw in the illusion last time, but this time his perspective became Yu Lin's.
The classmates didn't really bully Yu Lin. They just warned him, out of heroism, to stay away from other girls in the class because they were watching him all the time.
Yu Lin remained silent without arguing, holding the rag to wipe the glass in his hand.
The water used to soak the rag was icy cold. Even though the sun was shining brightly outside, Yu Lin still felt like he was in winter. After wiping the glass inside the house, he turned over and went out again. His finger joints were frozen red, and he rubbed the transparent glass back and forth mechanically. The glass reflected his pursed lips, which occasionally turned into Xia Sheng's hateful face at that time.
If he had spoken up to stop it at that time, perhaps the ending of the story would be different?
A flash of white light passed before his eyes. Yu Lin paused, closed his eyes tightly, and rubbed the glass vigorously with his hands. The glass made a crisp rolling sound. Even with his eyes closed, he could still sense the light. Yu Lin's eyes were constantly stimulated by a bright light.
Until he finally tried to open his eyes and look towards the light source.
The floor above the light source, the room that had woken him up from nightmares countless times.
He had never seen how Xia Sheng looked when he died, but with just one glance, he was certain that the bloody man upstairs holding a small mirror was Xia Sheng.
There was the same hatred in their eyes.
In her eyes, Yu Lin, who did not help her, might also be an accomplice.
When Yu Lin realized this, his hands had already loosened and his body continued to fall. The light reflected by the mirror upstairs was getting smaller and smaller, but Xia Sheng's expression kept flashing before his eyes like a kaleidoscope.
thump--
It's like a speck of dust falling on the ground, but then a blood-red flower blooms.
Yu Qirong was inside Yu Lin's body and did not feel any pain, but she heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
His eyes were fixed on the bloody Xia Sheng upstairs. Her purpose in coming did not seem to be what Yu Lin thought, but rather a hint.
Is the direction in which the mirror reflects light the empty classroom next to the principal's office?
