A week after Reiko's death, peace was restored to the school. On this day, Xue Kaimo went to class as usual, and the course was comprehensive English taught by Chang Xiao.

Chang Xiao is a recognized beautiful teacher in the Department of Foreign Languages, with a slender figure, always with a gentle smile on her fair face, her voice is tactful and low, and her gestures reveal the charm of a mature woman. Li Ju once passed by the classroom of Xue Kaimo's class, and saw Chang Xiao standing on the podium and chatting with students between classes, and since then he has fallen into bitter lovesickness, and he has said to the other three people in the dormitory more than once, "If she is still single when I graduate, I must chase her." ”

On this day, Chang Xiao's face was surprisingly gloomy, the atmosphere of a class was always low and depressing, and the back rows of the classroom had fallen asleep, which had never happened in the previous class. In the second half of the class, there was a question about foreign food traditions, and Chang Xiao suddenly stopped and stared at the book in a daze. Xue Kaimo and the few students who were still listening looked up at her and found that Chang Xiao's two hands pressed on the book were trembling nervously. Five minutes later, Chang Xiao slowly raised her head, met several pairs of confused eyes staring at her, and said without a beginning or an end, "Have you ever heard of a dish called five-colored hoof tendons?" After saying this, she seemed to suddenly realize that she had lost her mouth, hurriedly packed up her books, and announced the end of class.

Xue Kaimo cleaned up the books on the table while considering whether to wait for Li Ju and Chai Yu to get out of class and then the three of them went back to bed together. Suddenly, the "five-colored hoof tendons" that Chang Xiao had just mentioned was like a dazzling lightning bolt that crossed his memory.

"Five-colored hoof tendons, I seem to have seen the name of this dish in the recipe in Xu Xin's suitcase. Yes, I must have seen it, because the page was folded over and over again, so I read it carefully. Thinking of this, Xue Kaimo threw down the mess on the desk and ran out of the classroom.

Chang Xiao's office was on the third floor of Building No. 1, and when Xue Kaimo arrived, he saw Chang Xiao coming out of the office. Xue Kaimo was hesitating to go over and ask her directly how she knew about the dish of five-colored hoof tendons, but found that Chang Xiao did not walk in his direction, but turned around and walked to another stairwell at the end of the corridor.

Chang Xiao's footsteps were very fast, and it could be seen from her back that she must be upset at this time, Xue Kaimo followed behind her, temporarily dispelling the idea of stepping forward to ask. Chang Xiao walked out of Building No. 1 and walked towards the administrative building not far away, Xue Kaimo got closer and closer, and there was only less than ten meters left between the two people, but the strange thing was that Xue Kaimo didn't realize that this was a very dangerous distance for the tracker and Chang Xiao never found out.

The mailroom in the administrative building was empty, Xue Kaimo followed Chang Xiao into the hall on the first floor, went up the stairs, and walked to the corridor on the right, until Chang Xiao disappeared in front of the door of an office at the end of the corridor, and the footsteps of the two people were always in unison and stopped abruptly. Xue Kaimo wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked over on tiptoe.

"I can't stand it, I really can't stand it. Chang Xiao's crying voice came from the office.

"Don't think too much about it, that won't happen again. A man's voice comforted Chang Xiao. Xue Kaimo raised his head and found that this was the office of Director Li of the Academic Affairs Office.

"But don't you feel it? Three students died in a row, and I had a hunch that the students would die more and more, and it must be her ghost coming back, it must be. Chang Xiao's voice was getting higher and higher, and it was close to a hysterical shout.

"Be quiet. There was the sound of footsteps and the sound of bumping tables and chairs in the room, as if Director Li walked over and covered Chang Xiao's mouth.

"You believe me, it's impossible to happen. The deaths of those students were all coincidences. Director Li said.

"But I just can't believe it, I'm having nightmares every night these days, and I'm starting to speak incoherently in class, I'm going crazy!" Chang Xiao reluctantly lowered his voice, but there was still a tremor in his timbre that couldn't be concealed.

"It's okay, it's okay. Director Li said.

At this time, the phone rang in the room, "You go back first, I'll be on duty tomorrow, you come over at night and I'll wait for you." After Director Li finished speaking, he picked up the phone, followed by the sound of Chang Xiao's footsteps walking towards the door.

Xue Kaimo had nowhere to hide for a while, so he had to stand behind the door. The door opened, and Chang Xiao walked quickly towards the stairwell at the other end of the hallway, until her back disappeared, and the office door closed slowly, but there was still a gap. Director Li had already put down the phone in the office, and then a soft sigh came, "You think you are the only one who is afraid, but in fact, I am not afraid." ”
