Pan Yue watched wide-eyed as Chu Changge, his expression unchanged, walked towards Yue Nu’s body. He then squatted down and started searching it for sothing.
She clenched her fists, daring only to watch from the side, not uttering a word or stepping forward.
As he searched, Chu Changge said, "You weren’t here earlier today, so you don’t know that Yue Nu had an item. She claid it could reveal the ghost’s identity."
Upon hearing this, Pan Yue, who had been cowering to one side, widened her eyes slightly. "Is it still on her now?"
After examining both bodies, Chu Changge said, "Earlier today, she ntioned giving that item to one of us randomly, but I suspect it was always on her. However..."
At this point, Chu Changge stood up and glanced at the pitch-dark window.
It was pitch black outside, and the teaching building opposite was almost invisible.
He continued, "But it doesn’t seem to be on her now."
Pan Yue opened her mouth, about to say sothing, when footsteps echoed again from the dark corridor outside. This ti, it sounded like several people.
She turned to look out and imdiately spotted Gu Mian’s group of four, who had almost reached the classroom door.
Seeing Gu Mian and the others, Pan Yue rushed towards the door, her voice filled with excitent. "You’re here!"
Li Yibai, following behind Gu Mian, seed taken aback by Pan Yue’s enthusiastic tone.
Gu Mian noticed Li Yibai eyeing the suddenly-appeared Pan Yue with a wary expression. After all, Pan Yue was Li Yibai’s primary suspect.
Keke and Guo Jii also clearly didn’t understand why Pan Yue was here.
Seeing Pan Yue run out of the classroom, Gu Mian quickly took a few steps forward to the doorway and looked inside.
The four of them had successfully removed the main door leading to the ground floor. The first thing they did after getting out was head towards this classroom.
After all, they didn’t have a base in this school, so they could only try their luck in a familiar place.
When Gu Mian had been downstairs, he had noticed the lights in this classroom were on.
He hadn’t expected to actually run into other people after coming upstairs.
And they’d run into three... no, four of them.
Gu Mian stood at the doorway, his gaze sweeping over Chu Changge, who was standing in the classroom, before shifting to the two identical corpses on the floor.
Clearly, Yue Nu was the one who died tonight.
And two of them, at that. What in the world?
One corpse appeared to have been stabbed from behind, its back a mangled ruin of flesh and blood.
The other corpse’s face was sowhat more unsettling. No external injuries were visible, but its expression was grotesque. One of its hands was bent and stiff like a claw, as if it had been clutching sothing, but its hand was empty now.
As an instance player, Gu Mian was only surprised for a brief mont by the appearance of two Yue Nu corpses.
But the others were different.
At that mont, Pan Yue was pulling Keke and Guo Jii towards the classroom, her tone urgent. "Quick, co and see!"
Keke and Guo Jii, not knowing what was going on, soon arrived at the classroom doorway.
Naturally, Gu Mian heard a scream.
It was Guo Jii.
This was a typical reaction for an ordinary person seeing a corpse. Keke, beside Guo Jii, was clearly a seasoned veteran who had been through many instances; her face rely paled slightly, and she imdiately covered Guo Jii’s mouth. "Don’t let anyone else hear!"
Li Yibai hadn’t reached the door yet, but seeing Keke and Guo Jii’s reactions, he understood sothing. He paused, seemingly steeling himself for a mont, then walked over.
Despite this, he still sucked in a sharp breath when he saw the scene in the classroom.
"What’s going on?!" Li Yibai exclaid, recoiling several steps and raising his voice.
Li Wentao’s death last night had sowhat accustod him to corpses.
But tonight was different. There were two corpses, and they looked exactly alike.
"The ghost killed two people? No, there are two Yue Nus? How is this possible?!" By now, Li Yibai had retreated all the way to the window. He gripped the sill with one hand, staring in disbelief at the two corpses in the classroom.
"Everyone..." Pan Yue suddenly spoke up. "Co look at this."
As she spoke, she took out her phone.
Guo Jii, clutching Keke tightly, trembled as she moved closer to Pan Yue.
Just then, Chu Changge also walked over and stood beside Gu Mian.
Gu Mian glanced sideways at him. "How did you get out?"
Chu Changge shook his head slightly but said nothing.
Pan Yue had already started playing a video.
The others craned their necks to look at the phone in Pan Yue’s hand.
Gu Mian glanced at Chu Changge, then also turned to look.
Pan Yue had barely let the video play for two seconds before she started dragging the progress bar at the bottom. "This is a video Yue Nu secretly recorded in this classroom. The beginning isn’t useful. I’ll drag it straight to the end for you to see."
Gu Mian noticed Pan Yue seed very hurried as she dragged the progress bar, as if she were very nervous.
She quickly dragged the progress bar almost to the very end.
Gu Mian saw on the screen that Yue Nu was sitting in the middle of the classroom, her back to the door. At this point, there were no corpses in the classroom.
Then, the door behind her was slowly pushed open.
What followed was a mont that would make anyone want to scream.
Guo Jii pressed her hand tightly over her mouth as she watched what happened next.
Blood splattered across the screen. Gu Mian saw 007, weapon in hand, kill Yue Nu.
Seemingly afraid Yue Nu might still get up, 007 even stabbed her many more tis until Yue Nu lay motionless on the floor. By then, Yue Nu’s back was a mangled ruin of flesh and blood, and the original color of her clothes was indiscernible.
But surprisingly, not long after, another Yue Nu pushed open the door and entered.
Gu Mian, of course, also saw the shadowy figure behind her.
But this Yue Nu seed completely oblivious as she walked towards the cara. The video ended the mont she bent down; there was nothing after that.
The figure following her must be the reason there are two corpses here now, Gu Mian thought, glancing at the floor.
"So, Lin Qi is the ghost!" When the progress bar stopped at the end, Pan Yue finally couldn’t hold back anymore and said to the others beside her, "She’s the one who killed Yue Nu! We have to vote her out tonight!"
"That’s impossible!" Li Yibai was the first to speak after Pan Yue.
His face was pale, and his body trembled slightly. "Lin Qi absolutely cannot be the ghost! She would never kill anyone!"
"Then how do you explain this video?" Pan Yue raised her voice. "It clearly records her committing the murder! Don’t tell she’s a civilian. The rules say civilians can’t kill other players! But she killed with impunity. She absolutely cannot be a civilian!"
Li Yibai’s eyes widened. He paused for a mont, then imdiately began to argue, "Didn’t you say yesterday that you saw Li Wentao was the ghost? But was he? Was he? What if, just like last night, this Lin Qi in the video is the ghost in disguise? Besides, two Yue Nus have inexplicably appeared now. Lin Qi being in this video might also just be so kind of freak occurrence!"
Pan Yue’s lips trembled. "You..."
But just as she opened her mouth, they heard a single footstep from one end of the corridor.
Everyone imdiately turned their heads to look.
Gu Mian also turned his head in that direction.
In the direction of the sound, 007’s face, half in light and half in shadow, appeared in the corridor.
