Chapter 1073: Not a Coincidence
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
He was taking revenge for Dong Sichun.
He felt that Dong Sichun’s suicide had something to do with these people.
After all, just like what the backstory of this room mentioned, the girl whose face in the photo had been scratched off had died because of the other five.
Moreover, once they entered the room, one of the sentences in the recording they heard said, “What sin did you commit in the past? Was it indifference? Selfishness? Or pride?”
Helian Weiwei narrowed her eyes.
It wasn’t a coincidence.
The murderer chose to commit the crime here. It wasn’t a coincidence!
“What’s wrong?” Xiao Jingtian didn’t understand why Helian Weiwei was suddenly so quiet. Her instinct told her that this Taobao shop owner knew something.
Helian Weiwei pretended to just stand up nonchalantly. “If I said that Dong Sichun’s ghost has come back to take revenge on you, what would you think?”
“Take revenge on us? Why?” Xiao Jingtian laughed and looked away. Her reaction was a little strange. She seemed afraid and yet…disdainful?
Helian Weiwei looked at her and didn’t say anything else.
The rest of the people looked at her too.
Chen Feiyang’s eyebrows were even more deeply furrowed. He looked directly at Xiao Jingtian, as if he didn’t want her to be so rude to Dong Sichun.
Xiao Jingtian also noticed that everyone was looking at her. She clenched her fists and explained herself, “I just feel that since we all get along so well, why would she take revenge on us? This doesn’t make sense at all.”
“If it doesn’t make sense, why did you react so strongly just now?” Helian Weiwei’s tone was very indifferent. “Everything was strange from the moment you guys came looking for me. Somebody died, and n.o.body can say for sure if ghosts truly exist either, but all of you insisted that it was an evil spirit at work.”
When it came to this part.
Helian Weiwei narrowed her eyes.
She had believed in an old saying since she was young.
If you never did anything wrong, then you wouldn’t be afraid of a ghost looking for you in the night.
It was obvious that these people were just imagining things about an evil spirit. What did they do to make themselves so afraid? Did they really think an evil spirit was following them?
“And you think this evil spirit is Dong Sichun?” Helian Weiwei looked at Xiao Jingtian.
She didn’t say anything, but glanced at Chen Feiyang.
“Miss Xiao, I’m asking you, have you already decided in your heart that this evil spirit is Dong Sichun?” Helian Weiwei wasn’t going to let go of this clue that she had found.
But it was impossible for her to make Xiao Jingtian admit in front of all her good friends that she had thought this way.
“So what if it’s her?” The timid graduate female student broke her silence, as if she had been holding these things inside for a long time. “Even if we think she’s back, it doesn’t mean that it’s because we’ve done anything to let her down. She had reached that point because she had no sense of propriety. She was like that to male cla.s.smates and even to the professor. Eventually, some people found out about her dirty deeds, but we didn’t agree to keep these things a secret and she went to commit suicide, and this is our fault? But her spirit just refuses to leave us alone!”
Chen Feiyang yanked the girl over. “Who are you saying has no sense of propriety?!”
“Okay, stop arguing.” Xiao Jingtian stood in front of them and pulled Chen Feiyang’s hand away. She lowered her head and laughed. “Why are all of you so worked up when it comes to her?”
Chen Feiyang turned his head and glanced at Xiao Jingtian, as if he wanted to explain things, but in the end, he didn’t say anything.
Chen Feiyang’s att.i.tude had probably hurt that female graduate student, so her eyes were all red.
Xiao Jingtian raised her head and looked at Helian Weiwei. “You’re really smart. That’s right, the evil spirit I’m thinking of is Dong Sichun. Actually we weren’t on good terms very long ago, because I’ve never seen someone so cheap before. She commands boys around so naturally and went after them so shamelessly, and she’s totally lowered the standards that women have.”
“So that’s why you don’t like me either.” Helian weiwei laughed lightly, “Because I also order my a.s.sistant around.”
Xiao Jingtian was stunned for a moment before saying, “That’s right.”
“Alright, I think I get it now.” Helian Weiwei didn’t continue to ask, but used her flashlight to illuminate the hidden door on the ceiling. “Is that door to the second last level? The place where student Zhang Heng died?”
She needed more clues. Before finding these clues, she wasn’t going to tell these people the results she had already deduced.
It was very clear that the clues were hidden in this room.
“Yes.” Xiao Jingtian was stunned by Helian Weiwei’s sudden change of topic. “That was where we ran into trouble.”
Helian Weiwei raised the key she took out from the second box. “What does this key open? ”
Xiao Jingtian paused for a moment, raised her hand and pointed to another room.
Helian Weiwei didn’t hesitate and immediately used the key to open the lock.
As soon as she opened the door, a line of eye-catching words were written in red on the wall.
“When a person has nowhere else to go, they would think of committing a crime. But that is not a shameless act, and is just a way of cutting off all of one’s escape routes.”
In addition to this line of words, there was also an old photo placed in the small room.
It was a photo of the dead girl and the other two girls. In the photo, they were all smiling very happily and there was nothing unusual.
Helian Weiwei looked down as if she was lost in thought and couldn’t get an answer. “When you pa.s.sed this stage back then, who came up with the idea of doing this?”
“It was Feiyang.” Xiao Jingtian walked over and said, “At that time, he asked all of us to try standing inside and close the door, and there was some commotion in the previous room. But we still don’t understand why he wanted to close the door.”
Helian Weiwei shone the torchlight on the wall. “Because of the hint of this sentence. Cutting off all your escape routes probably means it needs someone to close the door. After all, there is only one escape route here.”
“You already thought of it just now.” Chen Feiyang suddenly spoke up. “So why do you have to ask who came up with the idea?”
Helian Weiwei stretched out her hand and pulled the door open. “I’ll reveal the answer at the end. Come in now and close the door first.”
n.o.body wanted to stay here anymore. Everyone besides the murderer was more than happy to quickly clear the stages and get out.
After Helian Weiwei finished speaking, no one objected.
The wooden door was closed, and locked all of them including Baili Jiajue and Helian Weiwei into a small room.
After less than three seconds, there was a bang, and some movement outside the room.
Helian Weiwei opened the door and used the flashlight to look outside again. An unknown thing had popped out from the ceiling!
