Chapter 542: Strange Post
Lu Sheng took out her phone and logged into Tieba. However, she realized that the account was not Fu Sisi’s.
She checked the login IP address and realized that it existed.
Moreover, even the ID’s name was blank. There were only three pictures. One was a screenshot of Zhou Mei’s previous comments, and the other two were the two she had sent to Fu Sisi after taking the pictures.
Lu Sheng pressed the home b.u.t.ton and sent Fu Sisi a message, asking if she was the one who had created the post.
After about five minutes, Fu Sisi replied that she did not send it.
Lu Sheng asked her again if she had sent the photos she sent to others.
“I sent them to Mingyue, but I asked her just now. She didn’t send the post, and she didn’t send the photos to anyone else.”
After reading Fu Sisi’s news, Lu Sheng asked Chu Yan. Chu Yan replied quickly, saying that he did not send it.
The more Lu Sheng looked at it, the weirder she felt.
She clicked on the thread again and realized that the account did not even show the age bar. Everything was blank.
A bunch of people were already guessing below, but no one recognized that it was Zhou Mei yet.
That was because the person in the picture only had a back view. Moreover, she was wearing her pajamas and had her hair draped over her shoulders. Other than her phone, her face could not be seen.
“Isn’t this our cla.s.s’s Zhou Mei?”
After observing, w.a.n.g Ming suddenly exclaimed.
“What?”
Zhou Mei turned her head suspiciously. When she saw that it was w.a.n.g Ming, she could not help but reveal a disdainful expression.
w.a.n.g Ming was very handsome and had a cheerful personality. He was a typical sunny boy.
However, as he often protected Yang Chunmei, Zhou Mei disliked him.
w.a.n.g Ming clicked his tongue and said, “Zhou Mei, I didn’t expect you to be such a person. We’re all cla.s.smates, yet you can even say such things.”
“What are you saying?” Zhou Mei was puzzled.
“Zhou Mei, look at Tieba. Someone sent a picture of you. It’s positive.”
Lan Jia reminded kindly.
Zhu Ling stopped writing and took out her phone to log in.
After seeing the post inside, she could not help but frown and subconsciously look at Lan Jia.
That was because the angle of the photo happened to be Lan Jia’s bed.
After reading the content of the post, Zhou Mei stared at Lan Jia in disbelief.
Lan Jia hurriedly explained, “It’s not me. It’s really not me. I’ve been playing games all night. How would I have the time to take pictures of you?”
“Look, there’s even a frontal photo of you inside.”
As Lan Jia spoke, she showed Zhou Mei the frontal photo that was just posted.
From the photo, one could tell that Zhou Mei was seated facing the wall. In other words, unless someone took a photo from the wall, they would not be able to take this photo.
After hearing about the frontal photo, Lu Sheng clicked on it.
Indeed, the owner added a few more frontal shots. It seemed like they were taken last night too.
After reading it, she frowned slightly. She kept feeling that this post was a bit strange.
She realized that something was amiss and returned to look at the pictures she had taken. Then, she looked at the pictures in the thread and suddenly realized that although the angle of the pictures was similar, they were not the two pictures she had taken.
When she took a picture of Zhou Mei, her phone showed that the time was half past nine. In this picture, it was thirty-two minutes past nine.
In other words, these two pictures were actually taken when she left Zhou Mei’s dormitory.
“I didn’t expect you to have such a filthy heart.”
Yang Chunmei rolled her eyes at Zhou Mei in disdain.
The other students who had seen Tieba also started discussing.
Zhou Mei’s face paled immediately.
“Who took the picture?” She suddenly turned back and glared at Lu Sheng. “Was it you? The room next to my bed is your dormitory.”
Lu Sheng frowned. “Are you crazy? I took photos of you through the wall?”
Although she had indeed taken two photos, she did not expect someone else to do the same.
“Snort—”
w.a.n.g Ming chuckled and said, “Zhou Mei, are you desperate? Are you lying through your teeth?”
A cla.s.smate a.n.a.lyzed, “The angle of this photo is a bit scary. It’s so clear. It shouldn’t have been taken by the surveillance cameras. It should have been taken directly. However, if someone was standing opposite Zhou Mei, it’s impossible for her not to have noticed!”
“I think so too. Look, the wall is only half a meter away from where Zhou Mei is sitting.”
“Can you not scare me?!”
When someone heard that, they had gooseb.u.mps.
The more Lu Sheng listened, the more puzzled she became. If there was really something dirty inside, she would have noticed it.
Unless…
Could it be that the thing happened to enter after she left?
That made sense.
She sized up Zhou Mei carefully and realized that there was a faint black aura on her forehead. It seemed like she had been stained with something unclean.
“Zhu Ling, you have to help me. I just spoke too quickly. I mean no harm!”
Zhou Mei looked at Zhu Ling pleadingly.
Zhu Ling frowned and said reluctantly, “I’ll try.”
As she spoke, she took out her phone and sent a message to Zhou Qiong. “Senior, can you do me a favor?”
“What’s the matter?” Zhou Qiong replied quickly.
Zhu Ling said, “I heard that you and Senior Pei are childhood sweethearts. He’s the moderator of our school’s Tieba forum. Can you get him to delete the post for me?”
Zhou Qiong said, “I’ll try.”
Zhu Ling said, “Thank you, Senior!”
After twenty minutes of silence, Zhou Qiong replied.
“Did you offend Jiang Jing?”
Zhu Ling was stunned and hurriedly replied, “My friend thinks that she’s not worthy of stealing Senior’s position as the school belle. That’s why she wanted to stand up for Senior. She didn’t do it on purpose. She was just angry.”
Zhou Qiong said, “So, she made those ugly comments for my sake?”
Zhu Ling said, “No, no. Senior, please don’t misunderstand!”
Zhou Qiong said, “I went to Pei Yan, but he didn’t want to help. Then, I went to the a.s.sistant moderator and he said he couldn’t delete it.”
“Can’t delete it?” Zhu Ling frowned and continued replying, “Why can’t he delete it?”
“I’m not sure. Take a look yourself.”
After replying, Zhou Qiong sent two screenshots over. They were screenshots of the failed deletion.
Zhou Qiong said, “The a.s.sistant moderator said that unless we contact the person who posted it, we can’t delete it.”
After thanking Zhou Qiong, Zhu Ling said to Zhou Mei helplessly, “For some reason, we can’t delete the post unless we contact the owner himself.”
“How could this be? How could this be?!”
Zhou Mei was a little nervous. Although everyone rarely visited the school forum, in this era where the Internet was developed, such news should spread like wildfire soon.
At that time, her reputation would be destroyed and she might even be recorded demerit points by the school.
“It’s really retribution!” Yang Chunmei sneered.
Yang Chunmei had no sympathy for someone like Zhou Mei who liked to wors.h.i.+p the high and trample the low.
When Lu Sheng heard Zhu Ling’s and Zhou Mei’s words, she fell into deep thought.
She sent Chu Yan a message and asked him to find Pei Yan to see if he could delete the post.
On the other hand, although Pei Yan was unwilling, he still tried to delete the post.
However, after trying a few times, the deletion failed.
“Huh?”
Pei Yan frowned. “What happened?”
“What?”
Chu Yan turned his head and asked him.
Pei Yan faced him with the phone screen. “Look, as the moderator, I can’t delete this post. It’s so strange!”
“Let me take a look.”
Chu Yan took the phone and tried it. He realized that it could not be deleted.
Pei Yan frowned. “Could there be a bug in the system?”
He took the phone and deleted a thread. However, he realized that it could be deleted.
He returned to the post and tried to delete it, but it failed.
Pei Yan frowned. “Could it be a hacker?”
Chu Yan said calmly, “No.”
Zhou Mei was just an ordinary female student. There was no need to find a hacker.
Moreover…
This thread gave him a sinister feeling. It just felt very strange.
—————
On the other hand, after Lu Sheng received Chu Yan’s reply, she could not help but frown.
Could it be that Zhou Mei had really provoked something powerful?
“Chen Yizhen, was that you?”
Zhou Mei turned back and glared at Chen Yizhen. “You have a good relations.h.i.+p with Jiang Jing. Did you post this?”
“What do you mean?” The wronged Chen Yizhen felt aggrieved. “I was doing my homework beside you back then. How would I have the time to take photos of you?”
“Then who was it? It can’t be a ghost, right?”
When Zhou Mei said this, the surroundings immediately became silent.
Her expression changed again. “Impossible, right?”
Yang Chunmei said lightly, “Our school used to be a cemetery. Didn’t you know?”
Zhou Mei swallowed her saliva and said in a daze, “Impossible. How can there be ghosts in this world?”
“You’re saying that our school used to be a cemetery?” Lu Sheng asked Yang Chunmei.
Yang Chunmei nodded. “Yes, but this school has been open for more than twenty years. If there were anything, it would have run away long ago.”
Lu Sheng nodded.
The students in school were all young people with strong Yang energy. As time pa.s.sed, even in a place with strong Yin energy, with so many young and energetic children suppressing them, they would have probably escaped long ago.
“Is this the time to be troubled about this?” w.a.n.g Ming said, “Zhou Mei, I think it’s more important for you to apologize to Jiang Jing in front of the entire cla.s.s, right?”
“That’s right!” Yang Chunmei agreed. “Shouldn’t you apologize to Jiang Jing for saying such vicious words?”
Zhou Mei suddenly looked at Lu Sheng and saw her indifferent expression, as if it was none of her business whether she apologized or not.
She pursed her lips and glanced at Zhu Ling, only to realize that she was wearing an indifferent expression.
Usually, for the sake of good food and drinks, she would circle around Zhu Ling every day and even flatter her.
She thought that Zhu Ling had already treated her as a friend. She did not expect her to not care about her at all.
However, it was impossible for her to apologize to Lu Sheng!
w.a.n.g Ming said, “You either apologize now or apologize using your real name on the forum like Su Rui.”
Lu Sheng ignored them and continued studying the post.
After a while, the owner added another picture.
This picture was the entrance of Year One, Cla.s.s One.
As Zhou Mei was sitting at the first table in the fourth row, one could see her from the outside.
At that moment, she was glaring with a pale face.
Lu Sheng looked out and saw a black figure flash past.
She narrowed her eyes and was about to chase after it to take a look when she saw the teacher walking in with a book.
She could only sit back and let Tan Jun out so that he could help her find that black figure.
After the first lesson, Tan Jun returned.
Tan Jun said respectfully, “Master, she’s a girl. She lives in the dormitory next to yours.”
“Live next to me?” Lu Sheng frowned. “Where is she?”
Tan Jun shook his head. “She’s hiding inside and unwilling to come out. I have no choice.”
“Help me ask her what her name is. How old is she? When did she die? Why did she die? Why did she linger there? Was she the one who posted the post?”
Tan Jun nodded and walked out with the umbrella again.
However, this scene was seen by the youth outside the window.
Chu Yan wanted to ask Lu Sheng about the post, but he did not expect to see this scene.
He had always known that Lu Sheng was powerful, but he did not expect her to order ghosts around to do things for her.
No, that man in red was no longer a ghost. There was no ghostly aura on him, so he should be a spirit.
He glanced at Lu Sheng and did not enter the cla.s.sroom to find her again. Instead, he chose to leave.
He actually had a lot of doubts, but since Lu Sheng did not tell him, he did not dare to ask casually.
For example, last night, he had another dream.
He dreamed of the girl called Sheng Sheng, who was also his wife in his dream. In order to save him, her heart was stolen and she collapsed in his arms, covered in blood.
Perhaps because the dream was too real, his heart still ached after he woke up.
The feeling of despair similar to that of losing the world almost made him unable to recover.
“Jiang Jing, I think I saw Senior Chu just now.”
Yang Chunmei looked out of the window and turned back to tell Lu Sheng.
“Where?”
Lu Sheng looked out of the window but saw nothing.
“Just now, he seemed to be standing at the window. However, he stopped for a while before leaving.”
“Really?” Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Maybe he was just pa.s.sing by.”
Yang Chunmei nodded. “Perhaps.”
Not long after the second lesson started, Tan Jun returned.
Perhaps because he floated in, the temperature in the cla.s.sroom plummeted.
“Why is it suddenly so cold?” Zeng Yan looked at the window suspiciously. “Jiang Jing, close the window. It’s so cold. Don’t catch a cold.”
“Okay.”
Seeing Lu Sheng close the window, Zeng Yan turned around and continued writing.
“Have you asked clearly?”
Lu Sheng stared at the blackboard, but she was communicating with Tan Jun.
“I’ve already clarified that the female ghost’s name is Li Xia. She’s seventeen years old. Six years ago, she slit her wrist and committed suicide because her boyfriend betrayed her. She was the one who posted the post because that cla.s.smate occupied her bed.”
So that was the case!
Lu Sheng understood and continued asking, “Then why didn’t she leave?”
Tan Jun said, “She said she hasn’t taken revenge and is unwilling to leave.”
“Revenge?” Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Since it was six years ago, that boy must have gone to university already, right? She can’t find him even if she loiters here.”
“She said that she was already in her third year of high school when she died. Moreover, the man came back and became a teacher in this school.”
