Just then, two workers carrying two hoes came out through a small door.
A mirror, another enormous mirror, stood before them.
Ahri slowly appeared in the mirror. She looked at the small door, pushed it open, and pointed to a mound of earth that had just been filled in.
Jiang Ze'an felt like a drowning person who had suddenly been able to breathe again. He knew about this processing plant, which had been abandoned for a long time in reality.
Where no one could see, Ahri sighed softly. These two workers had disobeyed their boss and buried the original owner, but not very deeply, only shallowly.
If the police come, they can find it by just one search.
However, those parents covered everything up; the girl was reported missing, but no one came to the factory to look for her.
The school only provided surveillance footage, which showed a classmate who looked very much like a girl walking out of the school gate and leaving, never to return.
In addition, surveillance was inadequate at the time, and no one saw the girl.
This is the school's secret: a girl who tried to stop school bullying was killed by the bullies, and was eventually taken away by several parents to cover up the crime.
The school cooperated, but in order to prevent the matter from escalating and damaging the school's reputation, they chose to downplay the issue and let it go.
This incident caused quite a stir at the time. Jiang Ze'an's parents knew that their child was being bullied at school, but because they had no evidence and no witnesses, they were afraid that their child would become the next missing girl, so they had no choice but to transfer Jiang Ze'an to another school.
Later, Jiang Zean studied hard and excelled, developing a game with a game pod. As long as a person lay inside and put on a game helmet, they could enter a holographic and realistic game world.
In the beginning, this game world was simply about fighting monsters, leveling up, doing beginner quests, and playing the roles in the game.
Once the game's pods began mass production and more and more people started playing it, and some people expressed a desire to play a suspense game, this game was released.
Jiang Ze'an had also made a special note in the game pod's instruction manual: "[When playing horror/suspense games, it is best to have an adult accompany you.]"
But some people just don't believe it.
Some of those bullies back then didn't have proper jobs, but their families were rich.
A single holographic simulation game pod costs over 60,000 yuan, which is an easy sum for them to buy.
Why did the original owner appear in the mirror of this game?
Because Jiang Zean had gone to school with the original owner's parents and packed up the original owner's things, he secretly hid the original owner's fallen hair and processed it with other materials to make a mirror.
The mirror was also divided into countless pieces and installed inside the game pod.
Jiang Ze'an had only heard people say that the hair of some dead people could absorb their life essence, and that once the life essence accumulated over time, it might develop its own consciousness.
He still wanted to see her; he wanted to ask her where she was.
He had thought more than once that when he was being bullied, he wished she hadn't appeared and hadn't tried to stop it, so that nothing would have happened to her.
Jiang Zean also wondered why he wasn't the one who died, why he didn't dare to go to the teacher or call the police back then, and why he chose to silently endure it for fear of being retaliated against by these people!
He also retaliated against those people. When those bullies bought the game pods, they used their real names, and the records were kept in the system.
Even after the game pods are sold, he can still control them from the back end.
