In a vague sense of consciousness, Dmitry vaguely heard someone calling his name. He struggled to open his eyes and found that his hands and feet were tightly tied to a wooden chair in the living room. In front of him, there sat a man.

"It's you! You're all up for it! Dmitry looked at the man in front of him and gritted his teeth.

Zheng Jie smiled, her eyes gentle: "To be honest, I'm a little curious, why did you immediately guess that it was me as soon as you saw that photo?" ”

"Because I remembered it in a flash! Sunset told me about it 10 years ago - after that incident, he didn't dare to see Mr. Shan's face again, and that picture, he tore it up in front of me! ”

"I see, no wonder!" Zheng Jie said, "As soon as you see this photo, you immediately think that if this photo is not Sunset's, it can only be mine — and the fact that I have this photo proves that I am actually your classmate back then." React quickly, Dmide. ”

"Who the hell are you?"

Zheng Jie approached Med and leaned down, close to his face. She whispered, "I'm Xu Wenting, you probably forgot about me a long time ago, right?" ”

Med thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Are you Xu Wenting?" The oldest girl in our class, Xu Wenting? ”

"Do you remember, it's the older girl who only went to the first year of junior high school at the age of sixteen because of family reasons."

"But, it can't be, she ......"

"You want to say that Xu Wenting, who is not outstanding, can't have such a beautiful face, right?" Zheng Jie sneered and said, "This is the result of modern technology, and before plastic surgery, I didn't expect my face to become so beautiful." ”

"You...... Are you really Xu Wenting? ”

Zheng Jie shrugged: "Whatever you don't believe it." I don't think it matters, you're going to die anyway. ”

As she spoke, she pulled out a sharp knife from behind her as if she were juggling, and pointed it at Med's body.

"Wait...... You! Why are you doing this! Why kill us! Dmitry shouted as he felt the footsteps of death approaching him.

Zheng Jie stopped and looked at him.

"Okay, I'll tell you." She said, "You're the last one anyway, so I'll let you die." ”

She sat down on a chair across from Mmith and said, "I grant your wish before you die, and if there is anything you don't understand about the whole affair, ask me." I promise to answer truthfully. ”

With that, she burst out laughing nervously.

Dmitry stared at her: "Why are you doing these things?" Why kill us? ”

"Isn't that obvious? I'm avenging Teacher Shan. ”

"Revenge? Who are you? ”

Zheng Jie's expression became serious, and she said, "We are lovers. Of course, strictly speaking, I like him a little more. But Teacher Shan also has me in his heart, I know. He loves to be with me, and he often says to me, 'I'm so happy when I'm with you.'" He added, 'I'll take you to great places and see more things, and that will make you feel that your life has not been in vain.' Of course, sometimes he would say with a bit of melancholy, 'We are teachers and students, maybe we shouldn't see each other so often.' But he always cared about my feelings and didn't make me sad. So, I believe he loves me, you say? Dmitry. ”

Dmitry looked at the chattering woman in front of him in astonishment, and suddenly felt that she was so strange, but there was a sense of acquaintance.

"So, how did you know about this?"

"Which thing?"

"Teacher Shan...... Because of the four of us, Teacher Shan fell into the pool. ”

"Dmide, I always thought you were the smartest of the four of them, how could you not have thought that?" Zheng Jie showed a disappointed expression, "Think about it, when the four of you broke into Teacher Shan's dormitory and played that boring joke with him, are you really so sure that Teacher Shan is the only one in that room?" ”

"You mean ......"

"Yes, I was in his room at that time, and I hid under his bed and heard everything you said. The first sentence I heard was said by Li Yuan, then Sunset, then Yuan Bin and you. Now you know, I've given you numbers based on the order in which you speak. ”

She continued: "At the time, I didn't know you were lying. But a few hours after Mr. Shan ran out with you, I realized that something had happened, and it was impossible for him not to come back for so long. So, I left Teacher Shan's dormitory and went to Zhong Lin's house, and at this time, I realized that you had deceived Teacher Shan, because Zhong Lin didn't leave the house that afternoon, let alone fall into the pool! ”

"I was terrified. I can't imagine - could it be that Teacher Shan really drowned in a waterhole because of your little joke? Or why hasn't he come home after so long? To confirm this, I took our fishing nets and my big hound, and rushed to the waterhole late at night to salvage ......"

She said this and paused: "Can you imagine? A teenage girl and a large wolfdog salvage bodies in a waterhole late at night. I dragged a corner of the net, the dog bit a corner, and it didn't take long for it to be really salvaged! When I saw Teacher Shan's body, I felt that the sky had fallen and the world no longer existed. I forgot what it was to be afraid, I only knew that there was only one reason left for me to live—"

Zheng Jie stood up and walked in front of Med again: "That's to seek revenge on you." ”

Dmitry gasped, "What about Teacher Shan's corpse?" How did you deal with it? ”

"After salvaging him, I dragged him to a nearby abandoned dry well, where I buried Mr. Shan, and then found a lot of soil and stones and threw them in...... So, from the looks of it, no one would have thought that there was a corpse hidden there at all. ”

"You...... Why? Why didn't you tell the police that it was the four of us who did it? ”

"Don't be stupid, Dmitry!" Zheng Jie said, "Actually, you know better than me, don't you?" You were only thirteen or fourteen years old at the time, and you didn't intentionally kill people, so what if the police found out? At most, you will be punished by the school, and if you are condemned by the people, forget it. Do you think this result will be satisfactory to me? ”

"And if I tell the police, there's another question that comes up – the police will ask me, 'How do you know this?' All I could say was 'I was hiding under Mr. Shan's bed.' Think about it, what would people think in that closed mountain village? They would think that before that, Teacher Shan and I must have been doing something nasty. But in reality, we're just chatting! After hearing the knock on the door, Mr. Shan was afraid that others would misunderstand, so he asked me to hide under his bed for the time being. But in the end, when Teacher Shan died, people might not necessarily believe me. Therefore, I can't leave a clean charge with Teacher Shan after his death, and of course I can't talk about it. ”

"And you choose to be the executor of the lynching and kill the four of us one by one!" Dmitry said fiercely.

Zheng Jie raised her eyebrows, revealing an undoubted look.

"Of course, I understand now that the curse on that notebook was also written by you imitating Teacher Shan's handwriting. But I don't understand, why are you doing this? Dmitry asked.

"I guess you'll probably come to Mr. Shan's dorm room again and dispose of that sandal. So after I buried Mr. Shan's body, I felt his dormitory, and imitated his handwriting to write those cursed words to you—in order to torture you mentally! Because I knew that with my ability at that time, I would not be able to kill you, so I have been waiting, waiting for the opportunity to take revenge on you! Until today. ”

She looked at Mmitry with some triumph, as if admiring her masterpiece.
