Chapter 83 The Bloodstained Class Reunion (7)
Her face, so similar to Lin Chujiu's, was twisted and contorted in a grotesque manner.
"If it weren't for you! How would I be here! This godforsaken place! People can die here!"
Zhou Ruoruo is dead! She died so tragically! Am I next?! Huh?!
She spoke incoherently, but the malice in her words was clearly directed at Lin Chujiu.
"The company... they all say you're capable, lucky, and have that face!"
If I become like you, learn from you, I can have everything you have! Resources! Popularity! They promised!
But nobody told me coming in would be a death sentence! Nobody told me I'd see...that kind of thing!
She trembled violently, her finger pointing at Lin Chujiu shaking. "Aren't you smug now? Looking at me like this? If I die here, it'll be your fault! It's you!"
Xu Sisi's breakdown and accusations tore away all the pretense and pretense.
Her hatred for Lin Chujiu did not come out of thin air; it was based on long-standing jealousy, dissatisfaction with her own situation, and anger at being deceived and used, all of which were transferred to Lin Chujiu, whom she intended to replace.
Driven by extreme fear, this hatred became naked and insane.
Lin Chujiu pursed her lips, looking at the hysterical woman in front of her, her heart filled with a cold understanding, without anger, only an almost indifferent scrutiny.
The piece realized it was a piece, but dared not resent the player who controlled it; it could only turn its fangs toward another piece that was being contested.
It's pathetic, pitiful, but at this moment, it's utterly useless.
The viewers in the live stream were also shocked.
[Holy crap, something's up?!]
[Did Lin Biao harm Sisi?]
[No, judging from her tone, it sounds like Xu Sisi imitated her and then got sabotaged by the company.]
[Then why are they looking for Lin Biao? Wait, didn't Lin Biao screw over the company? Judging from this situation, it seems like the company is using Lin Biao.]
My goodness, the old problems haven't been resolved and new ones are already emerging. What's going on?
Netizens felt they needed to investigate further.
Hong Jiadu looked at Xu Sisi, who was breaking down in accusations, and his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
That wasn't sympathy; it was more like annoyance at having one's plans disrupted.
But he quickly masked his displeasure and walked straight toward Xu Sisi, who was in a state of emotional distress.
"Sisi, you're under too much pressure. Calm down."
His voice was deliberately low and slow, carrying an almost hypnotic, steady power.
He reached out and lightly pressed on Xu Sisi's shoulder.
"You're just too tired, and that's causing you to have negative associations."
"Come on, let me take you back to your room first. Get a good night's sleep, and you'll be fine when you wake up tomorrow."
His movements and tone were gentle and earnest, and he seemed extremely worried, which contrasted sharply with his eerie image of wandering around at night with a shovel.
Xu Sisi seemed to be briefly calmed by this calm tone.
Or rather, she was exhausted by fear and physical strength, and was simply led by Hongjiadu in a daze and obediently toward the dark dormitory, her hands trembling as she fumbled for the key.
Lin Chujiu and Pei Yu stood there, silently watching this scene.
Pei Yu's gaze fell on Hong Jiadu's retreating figure, a cold, sharp glint flashing deep in his eyes.
Just as Hong Jiadu gently pushed the distraught Xu Sisi into the room and stepped out—
Lin Chujiu saw that Hong Jiadu was smiling!
sinister smile!
In that instant, all the peace, comfort, and even the usual weariness on his face vanished.
Instead, there is a pure, chilling ruthlessness!
His gaze swept over the door that Xu Sisi was about to close, and what surged inside was not annoyance or helplessness, but a clear and undisguised killing intent!
The killing intent was so intense that Lin Chujiu, who had inadvertently caught a glimpse of it, felt her scalp tingle instantly.
A chill ran from the soles of my feet straight up to the top of my head.
Hong Jiadu seemed to be extremely perceptive, noticing her gaze almost instantly.
Lin Chujiu felt as if she were being attacked by a venomous snake when he looked at her!
But looking back—
That horrifying expression vanished instantly, replaced by deep worry.
He turned around and even nodded slightly to Lin Chujiu and Pei Yu, his helplessness was obvious to anyone.
Hongjiadu didn't say another word. He picked up the shovel that he hadn't let go of and walked away, quickly disappearing into the darkness.
The area downstairs in the dormitory was once again filled with a suffocating silence and the sound of the wind.
Lin Chujiu stood still.
The last look in Hongjiadu's eyes kept flashing through her mind.
Pei Yu's voice sounded beside him, low and calm, yet carrying a chilling insight:
"He cannot tolerate uncontrollable variables."
Lin Chujiu took a deep breath of the cold air, nodded, her voice a little hoarse:
“He wants to kill Xu Sisi,” she paused, looking into Pei Yu’s increasingly deep eyes in the darkness, “I think he’s trying to break us down.”
"And Xu Sisi was his first trophy."
Pei Yu neither confirmed nor denied directly, his gaze fixed on the distance, his demeanor excessively calm.
"Remember rules four and five."
He said slowly, "Don't ask your classmates about their past unless they are willing to tell you."
Don't bring up what happened back then.
Hongjiadu shared some past events, but the true 'things from back then' remain buried in the earth.
————
early morning.
Pei Yu woke Lin Chujiu up, "Chujiu, come out for dinner."
Lin Chujiu had already sobered up and was listlessly looking at the forum.
She saw someone mention an incident that had happened at Qingshan Middle School before, and when she inquired about it, the person had not yet replied.
Lin Chujiu followed Pei Yu to the cafeteria.
"You don't look well, eat something warm."
He gently pushed the bowl of soy milk in front of her, his movements carrying an almost clumsy tenderness, completely different from the powerful being he was in the underworld.
Lin Chujiu didn't understand, but she still obediently picked up the soy milk and drank it.
She really loves drinking soy milk; she's loved it since she was little.
In my memory, she seemed to have fed someone soy milk in the same way.
Pei Yu watched her sip her soy milk, the morning light casting a soft glow on her pale profile.
Pei Yu's eyes were overflowing with doting affection.
“Jiu Jiu,” his voice lowered, hoarse with a sense of distant memory, “do you remember, a long time ago, on a morning just like this…” His gaze was distant, as if trying to pierce through time to find the hidden corner of her memory.
Lin Chujiu looked up and met the undisguised deepness in his eyes, and her heart trembled for no reason.
Just as Pei Yu was about to recount that long-buried past—
"Xiao Jiu, Pei Yu, what a coincidence?"
Hong Jiadu's weary voice suddenly broke in. He was standing next to them without a shovel in his hand, making him seem less dangerous.
However, having witnessed this person's hidden side, Lin Chujiu dared not lower her guard at all.
Pei Yu's unfinished words came to an abrupt end.
He looked up at Hongjiadu, the tenderness in his eyes vanishing instantly, leaving only a deep, cold gaze, as if it were a physical entity, carrying a warning.
Hongjiadu, however, seemed completely unaware, or rather, utterly indifferent.
He even managed a smile that could be described as amiable:
"Perfect timing, let's go back together. We should call Sisi too, she was a bit emotional last night."
His tone was natural, as if the deep-seated murderous intent from last night had never existed.
The three returned to the dormitory building together, only to find that Xu Sisi's door was still tightly closed.
Lin Chujiu stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Sisi? It's time to get up."
It was deathly silent inside.
Pei Yu frowned slightly. Hong Jiadu also stepped forward and, feigning concern, patted the door panel forcefully.
"Sisi, Xu Sisi? Are you alright?"
He used considerable force, and the door made a dull thud, but there was still no response from inside.
An ominous premonition gripped Lin Chujiu.
She and Pei Yu exchanged a glance.
Pei Yu no longer hesitated and reached out to grasp the doorknob—
"Bang--"
The door wasn't locked; it opened with a gentle twist.
A strong smell of blood hit the air.
Inside the room, Xu Sisi lay on her back on the cold floor, her eyes wide open and pupils dilated, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying before she died.
Her neck was a bloody mess, the wound was gruesome and deep enough to expose the bone, as if it had been dug in by some kind of iron tool.
Her blood soaked the ground beneath her, turning it a dark red.
He had obviously been dead for a while.
Lin Chujiu felt a churning in her stomach and forcibly suppressed the discomfort.
As she trembled, she glanced furtively at Hongjiadu.
Hong Jiadu's face still showed worry, but the corners of his mouth turned up almost imperceptibly and extremely quickly.
A fleeting, crystal-clear smile appeared on his face.
Although the arc only existed for a moment before disappearing, Lin Chujiu caught it.
What exactly is Hongjiadu doing?
