Chapter 7: The Vanishing Corpse
"Shh
Zhengqing hurriedly covered my mouth, only to see that the people who were about to leave turned around again, frowning and looking around.
I was shocked at how they heard the movement when we were so far apart.
Fortunately, they only left in confusion in the end, and did not notice us.
When they were gone, Masaaki and I leaned against the tree and breathed slowly.
I teased speechlessly: "Their ears are so smart? You can hear it from so far. Hey, how do you know they've found us? β
"Just before you spoke, I saw the man in white pause, and then a chill hit me, and I knew it was not good."
"That's amazing."
After the last emotion, the atmosphere stiffened, and I don't know how to provoke him.
After a while, he said quietly, "Let's go, they shouldn't be coming back."
Teaching Building No. 2 is clearly imprinted in the eyes, no longer seeing flowers in the fog that night, every scene and object here is clearly placed in front of you.
I just circled around the four circles twice and didn't find it-
"Murong Zhengqing, where is the corpse!" What the are you kidding me? "Didn't you say someone died? What about corpses? β
"I don't know, it's here in the morning!" He looked at me suspiciously, "Don't stare at me, what is Young Master Ben so deceiving you!" How bad is Young Master Ben to make such a joke? There really are corpses! β
He stretched out his hand and pointed to the center of the No. 2 teaching building: "This is it, the body was found here!"
Corpse? Not even a drop of blood, where are there any corpses?
Seeing that I didn't believe it, his cheeks flushed with anxiety: "Why don't you believe me, I have clearly seen that corpse!" The deceased's name is Xiao Daixue, from the Department of Literature! The teacher who called the police at that time said it himself! β
Zhengqing's expression really doesn't look like a fake, but how to explain the disappearance of the corpse? The police didn't come to remove the body.
"There was a corpse, and it was gone."
The faintness of the piercing old voice came from behind, and it made people tremble.
When I looked back, I saw a beggar dressed in tatters standing under the locust tree on the stairs on the right, leading an equally dirty dog.
The breeze blew, and the beggar's tattered clothes fluttered in the wind. Obviously just a beggar, but his eyes are sharp and clean.
"Who are you?" Zhengqing took a step back in disgust, and as soon as the wind blew, the sour smell on the beggar's body rushed up.
"I'm a detective...... The corpse is gone......" the beggar opened his mouth.
As soon as he finished speaking, the dog next to him barked.
The student council had just left, and I wanted to chop it up immediately when I looked at the messy dog, but it was just a thought.
Chao Zhengqing made a face, he nodded, and we left tacitly.
But we wanted to go, but some people wouldn't let us go, and as soon as we took a few steps out, the beggar rushed up and stopped us.
"Dead! Alarm! Corpse...... Gone! The beggar spoke with an anxious face and incoherent speech.
"What a dead man! What about people! The sour smell of the beggar was disgusting, I pinched my nose and took a step back, glaring at him angrily, the anger in my heart rolling one after another, "Die! Where did the madman come from! β
It's just inexplicable! Corpse! Corpse! Where did the corpse come from! Is it possible that everyone is blind!
"Who let you in?"
The calm and flirtatious tone makes people excited.
The white-clothed senior stood at the door with his hands in the pockets on both sides of his pants and a lazy expression.
As soon as his words fell, a boy who was half a head taller than him also appeared.
The man pursed his lips and stared coldly aheadβthis man was a little familiar.
"Why don't you leave soon, do you want to drop out?" The white-clothed senior kindly reminded him.
The person who knows the times is Junjie - just Zhengqing's crooked mouth that is not afraid of death, and said, "Where are the corpses here?"
"Corpses?! What corpse? The person on the other side was stunned and asked puzzled.
"The student who jumped off the building, Xiao Daixue, he is from the Department of Literature. Here this morning, the police didn't come, and what about the corpses? β
"There is no such person in the literature department." The person who had been standing on the side said coldly, "The two of you will submit five thousand words for review in the afternoon." Also, Yu Xiaobai is right, and the 10,000-word review was also handed over after school. β
Hehe, I finally know why it's familiar, isn't this the bullshit president of the student union? What's it called? I forgot......
"Who said there were no bodies!" Looking at the appearance of the ice cube, I felt even more angry, "This beggar ......" turned and pointed to the clearing next to him, and there was obviously a man and a dog here just now - but now it was empty! ...... "Damn, don't you see the hell again!"
"What kind of beggar is this?" The white-clothed senior stared at me with a smile, "Junior brother, big boys love adventure and fun, we can all understand, but don't play anymore." β
Gritting his teeth, he glared at them with the unwilling Zhengqing, and left resignedly.
We don't know whether the other party is friend or foe, and even if it's an irrelevant person, we can't explain it clearly, and in the end it will only get darker and darker.
Out of the green belt, walking along the edge of the large playground, the mood is dull.
It's amazing. Maybe Zhengqing didn't pay attention, but at least I could see it clearly.
When I went to the No. 2 teaching building, there were few people on the playground at all, it was deserted, but when I came back again, regardless of men and women, the whole playground was full of youthful atmosphere.
It's a pity that this excitement made me feel a chill from the soles of my feet and rush straight to my head.
poked Zhengqing with his elbow and asked in a low voice, "Did you find anything wrong?"
"No, too much." He opened his mouth sullenly, lowering his head and kicking the gravel under his feet, "The corpse is gone, I really saw the corpse, didn't the beggar also see it?"
And the one in white, what the hell were they doing there? Even if there were no corpses in there, it wasn't right, and it was such a large group of people. β
"......" the bull's head was not in the horse's mouth, "I'm not asking you about the corpse, I'm asking if you feelβnay, look," I lifted my chin, "do you feel that something is wrong around me?" β
He glanced up casually, then lowered his head and continued to kick the stone: "What's wrong?" It's normal. β
Is...... Don't know what to say anymore.
There was a wind blowing, mixed with the laughter of men and women, and there was no sign of the previous depression.
Depressed, Zhengqing and I walked around the playground, but neither of us spoke again.
On the fourth lap, he suddenly said softly: "I see, that's how it feels."
No matter what you say, no one will believe you if it's true or not, as if you're not a person from this world, and it's superfluous to do what you do and how you change it.
Fear can only be swallowed by one person. Actually, the most frightening thing is not being able to see ghosts, but that no one has ever believed that you can see ghosts.
Sometimes others even think you are a psychopath and think you are scary, but no one will ever understand your fear.
A lot of times people are afraid of me, in fact, I'm even more afraid of them. β
"Yu Xiaobai, I really saw the corpse, there was really a girl named Xiao Daixue who committed suicide by jumping off the building."
"So, I just want to ask you, do you believe me?"
He moved across from me and stared straight at me. The silence in those brown-black eyes was like a pool of stagnant water, but there was a slight uneasiness floating in the calm.
"I ...... Trust what you say. Raising his hand and pounding his chest, "What is there to believe between brothers?" It's a bit overwhelming to suddenly go through so much lately. I didn't disbelieve you. β
"That's good." He smiled palely, "If someone deliberately hides Xiao Daixue's death, then the two of us will be in danger." Afraid? β
"Well...... "Why aren't you afraid, who wants to die?" But...... A kind face covered with folds flashed through his mind.
"Huh?"
"Are you afraid?"
"I, I see hell almost every day, what is there to be afraid of."
