And is Tian Dashuo really a ghost?
Cheng Shuang remembered that when she touched his wrist, the temperature under her hand was burning hot, as if he was excited, and his pulse was pounding rapidly.
Tian Dashuo is not dead!
Why did Wenwen give an answer that was clearly wrong?
If Wakata Daisaku hadn't died, what reason could he have given up an opportunity to create a 'demon'?
Unless he is absolutely certain of victory, such as having evidence in his mind that someone is the 'ghost'.
The announcement asking representatives to make their selections was repeated over the loudspeaker, and Su Ming's urgent voice came through, "Tian Dashuo, I choose Tian Dashuo!"
Just as Cheng Shuang was about to open her mouth, someone suddenly appeared behind her and quickly covered her mouth.
The little girl was initially startled, but quickly regained her composure.
The fact that the monster didn't sound an alarm meant that the attackers meant her no harm, and were even people she knew and trusted. She turned her head to look, and a beautiful face was very close to hers, shaking its head to signal her to be quiet.
Seeing the little girl nod obediently, Liao Yuewei let go of her hand, pointed to the window, and silently indicated that she had jumped in through the window, while Cheng Shuang pointed to the door.
The two of them silently lay down by the door, listening to Wenwen's sarcastic retort to Su Ming, "I was the one who told you, so why didn't you say that we chose Tian Dashuo?"
Su Ming said impatiently, "Is this the time to focus on these things? You're always so petty!"
Wenwen scoffed, "It was Sister Zhou who said that, wasn't it? What a good son of yours, Sister Zhou!"
"You!" Su Ming was furious. He shoved Wenwen away, his fair face revealing a mixture of anger and humiliation at being deeply misunderstood.
He felt he was becoming increasingly unable to tolerate Wenwen. Where was the gentleness and tenderness of the past in this woman? It was all an act! She should be glad that he wasn't the kind of rude person who would hit women.
Perhaps out of resentment, Su Ming spat inwardly and strode out of the bathroom, seemingly wanting to part ways with Wenwen.
At this moment, the campus broadcast sounded again: "The two representatives from Area A who did not answer within the specified time have automatically forfeited, and all five people from Area A have forfeited. Three people from Area B forfeited, resulting in one loss and one victory. The winner has identified the ghost from their area, and the subsequent game events will present increasingly challenging levels, so please be vigilant. The loser's punishment has been served; please accept our condolences!"
The gloom on Su Ming's face had just been replaced by relief, but when he heard about the critical situation, his expression turned from sunny to gloomy again. But at least he had won, right? He let out a sigh of relief and was about to give Wenwen a victorious smile when, unexpectedly, a soft laugh and a loud thud of a heavy object hitting the ground came from behind him first.
He slowly turned his head, puzzled...
Cheng Shuang and Liao Yuewei inside the door slowly opened their mouths in surprise. Two Su Mings?
No, that's not right.
One was walking out, while the other collapsed on the floor tiles.
Su Ming died; his soul became a ghost in Block B, while his body died silently in the bathroom.
The punishment for pointing out the error was death.
Cheng Shuang and Liao Yuewei looked at each other in disbelief; neither of them had expected to witness such a dramatic scene.
Su Ming's defeat means Tian Dashuo isn't the ghost, and since Tian Dashuo is highly likely to have clues about the ghost in Area B, he has a high chance of being the victor. If Tian Dashuo is the victor, among those he had the best chance of contacting… Wenwen and Fangfang, could one of them already be dead?
Wenwen said that Fangfang and she worked together to kill Tian Dashuo, but now it's clear that this is obviously a lie. However, Tian Dashuo doesn't seem to have succeeded. When he rushed out of the building, he was filled with rage.
Cheng Shuang scratched his head in deep confusion, while Su Ming's devastating shouts filled the air.
He was cursing Wenwen and even rushed over to throw a punch, but his fist missed and passed right through Wenwen's shoulder.
Wenwen seemed to completely ignore Su Ming, who was roaring in front of her. She squatted down and touched Su Ming's pale, lifeless face on the ground, then walked out with a smile on her lips and tears in her eyes.
Su Ming swung his fists a few times, but to no avail. His face darkened as he glared at Wenwen's departing figure. He grabbed her body by the ankles and dragged himself step by step to the innermost stall in the bathroom. He locked the door and then climbed out from the ceiling.
He's already dead, so no one else can expect to live a good life.
After concealing the body, Su Ming walked to the sink and looked at the mirror. His reflection was no longer there.
The door opened and closed again. The door to the first toilet stall slowly opened, revealing two women, one older and one younger, squatting on the toilet seat, looking at each other.
"Wenwen is dead?"
"Fangfang is dead?"
The two spoke in unison.
"It's Fangfang!"
"It's Wenwen!"
Then, he gave a wry smile.
"How about we go upstairs and take a look?"
Cheng Shuang made the suggestion.
“Okay.” Liao Yuewei had no objections. Although it was an undeniable fact that Su Ming was a ghost, who knew if providing a ghost candidate would be enough? So, obtaining evidence of another ghost would be more reassuring.
They must at least get through the second round of identification so that they can buy more time to find the direction of the gate of reincarnation.
Liao Yuewei took the little girl's hand and carefully left the bathroom. The two of them tiptoed upstairs.
“Block B also has five representatives. Su Ming is now a ghost, Fangfang and Wenwen are suspected of being dead, Tian Dashuo wins, so who is the other one?”
Cheng Shuang asked softly.
“I saw her, it was that spiritual medium, do you remember her? That indigenous girl!” Liao Yuewei observed the environment on the second floor. The classroom was opposite the stairs, and the window faced the playground.
The private high school building differs from the girls' college. Although its staircases are also on both sides, they are not in the form of emergency exits. The wooden openwork staircases allow you to see the first floor from above, making it no different from a contemporary school, and even more luxurious.
Therefore, Cheng Shuang and her partner need to be more cautious.
“It shouldn’t be on the second floor.” Cheng Shuang said to Liao Yuewei from the corner on the second floor, “Su Ming stayed on the second floor briefly and threw his clothes down to distract Tian Dashuo.”
"Let's start searching from the fourth floor!"
The teaching building has four floors. In the middle of the side with the stairs is the teachers' office, with restrooms and water rooms on both sides, and classrooms opposite. Each classroom is over 100 square meters, but there are only about 20 sets of desks and chairs. Each classroom has a shared computer, a piano, a wall-mounted television, a row of student lockers, and other supplementary educational materials and equipment.
For the 1970s, this was considered a high-end option.
This also makes it easier for the two of them to search.
The classroom was almost completely exposed; all they needed to do was open the corner cabinet where the trash was piled up and see if any bodies were hidden inside.
The teachers' office on the other side was locked.
Finding nothing in the classroom, Cheng Shuang's gaze turned to the water room.
"I'll go look in the bathroom," Liao Yuewei said, and the two quickly went their separate ways.
The water room was rather dark and was divided into an inner and outer room. The outer room contained tap water that was safe to drink, while the inner room contained a hot water tank.
Opposite the hot water bucket was a small door with a broom and dustpan drawn on it. Cheng Shuang pushed the door open, and it was pitch black inside. She took out a crank flashlight, turned it on to emit a little light, and shone it over. She immediately stopped in her tracks.
Found it!
