Chapter 19

Leng Xin smiled too. Some things, once the truth is understood, are actually quite simple: the principal is Uncle He's cousin, so naturally he can...

I learned about what I was investigating from Uncle He.

“My story is finished, now it’s your turn,” the dean said.

Leng Xin no longer concealed anything and recounted the events of the past few days and the findings of their investigation. He then...

During the process, the two elderly people showed all sorts of expressions, from surprise to contemplation to sighs.

Finally, Leng Xin specifically mentioned Duan Yun's spine: "His spine has a total of 13 fracture marks, and..."

His glasses frame also happened to break into 13 pieces. This number is such a coincidence; I've had a vague idea about it, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

"Grab it. Luckily, the principal's experience woke me up."

"Do you think Duan Yun's experience is the same as mine? Did he also switch roles with his mirror?" the principal asked.

Leng Xin nodded: "Not only Duan Yun, but also Lu Yang. We haven't been able to find a reasonable explanation for his injuries."

The explanation, now following this line of thought, explains why his scalp was rubbed like that, and the reason why your hands, Principal...

The same thing happened: he and his mop had switched roles. He thought he was mopping the floor.

Actually, he was using his head to mop the floor, so his head was completely chafed, and there were so many marks on the floor.

The jerky marks—those were left by one end of the mop handle as it moved across the floor, hence the marks on the handle end.

There were many cracks.

"You just mentioned a student online named Du Zigang, whose girlfriend, when putting on makeup, not only didn't..."

It looks beautiful, but it actually removed the original color, while the cotton pad looks very pretty, which is probably why.

"The dean said excitedly.

"Yes. We've been looking into what happened on Wednesday and Thursday, but it seems we don't need to anymore."

Leng Xin said.

"Indeed, strange things have been happening every day this week: On Monday, Duan Yun's mirror fell from the seventh floor."

It came crashing to the ground, shattering into pieces; he thought he had fallen himself. On Tuesday, Jiang Shichao and Lin Ding noticed people on campus acting strangely.

He mysteriously disappeared for a while; on Wednesday, Du Zigang's girlfriend had that incident; on Thursday, my incident happened.

On Friday, Xiao Guang and Liu Yongze got into trouble. Meanwhile, Uncle He saw on television a scene reminiscent of the death of Long Yingshui and Zhu Huan years ago.

A scene remarkably similar; on Saturday, Lu Yang and his mop switched roles; on Sunday, which is today, the wind...

Zheng Yang and Gong Hao are in trouble. But there are still many doubts," the principal, being a logic teacher, analyzed things very clearly.

The logic is very clear: "First, why did these things happen to these people? Do these people have some common characteristics?"

Have we not yet discovered the key point? Second, so far, there are three types of strange occurrences: death, role swapping, and hallucinations.

What is the connection between these three strange events? Third, what is the connection between the dust painting and the wet footprints Duan Yun encountered in the library?

What happened? Fourth, in the hallucination incident, which party actually experienced the hallucination? Fifth, if it really was Lung Ying-shui and Zhu...

Why did they wait 23 years to begin this? Sixth, what exactly is the meaning behind this strange role-swapping?

righteous?"

Reply [31]: Leng Xin and the dean nodded repeatedly.

The principal continued, "With so many problems, it's obviously unrealistic to investigate them all one by one. Everything has a limit."

Since the television footage that Uncle He saw was so similar to Long Yingshui and Zhu Huan, we will temporarily identify these two as...

"Start with the perpetrators, investigate whether similar incidents have occurred in the past 23 years."

“Yes,” the dean said, “if it really was them, then those two young men who were playing chess and didn’t help at the time…”

The year should first encounter strange events. Once the root cause of these events can be determined, the other problems will be easily solved.

Leng Xin admired the two old men greatly and immediately said, "Then let's investigate the situation of those two people first."

"

The principal and the dean exchanged a glance, and the principal smiled and said, "It's not convenient for us to get involved. I know about you and Jiang Shichao and the others."

You are all very enthusiastic, and we will support you. Please be careful and stay safe. If necessary, I will use the principal's authority.

"We have the strength, but now is not the time. The fewer people who know about this, the better."

Leng Xin nodded.

The two elderly people patted him on the shoulder and then left.

While Leng Xin and his group were analyzing the whole situation, Jiang Shichao and his group weren't idle either. Since they couldn't...

After staying in the infirmary, Duan Yun returned to the computer room to search for information online again. He found the place where the noise from the crowd outside had initially disturbed him.

They retrieved the information about Long Yingshui and Zhu Huan's deaths from the interrupted location and studied it carefully again. Then they...

They then entered the names of Lung Ying-shui and Zhu Huan into a search engine, hoping to find relevant clues.

There were hundreds of related records online. Duan Yun clicked on them one by one; most of them were comments and reports about the matter.

The text also includes a significant portion of words from Long Yingshui and Zhu Huan's classmates reminiscing about them. From these texts, one can see...

It was revealed that the two victims were very simple and kind people; they were warm-hearted and helpful to their friends and classmates.

They were very popular because they were well-liked. Their passing saddened many people, and many wept at their funeral.

"These two kind people shouldn't have done such terrible things even after they died!" Duan Yunbian said.

As I read the information, I developed a fondness for the deceased and couldn't help but express my feelings.

“They were two kind people,” Lin Ding sighed, “but not necessarily two kind ghosts!”

Duan Yun nodded in agreement—who knows what kind of existence a ghost is?

Several people clicked and flipped through pages non-stop. When they reached the 370th record, something that piqued their interest appeared.

Interesting content.

This is a follow-up report on the deaths of Lung Ying-shui and Chu Huan. It mainly mentions three people, one of whom is...

Ying Haitian, and the other two were the students who were playing chess by the lake and refused to help when someone was in danger.

After this incident, Ying Haitian fell seriously ill and became quiet and introverted.

The two students were given a major demerit by the school, and their teachers and classmates looked down on them.

They became very isolated at school, and eventually dropped out because they couldn't bear the pressure.

All the records contained roughly the same information, with no further clues.

Jiang Shichao and his colleagues believed that if it really was Long Yingshui and Zhu Huan seeking revenge, the two chess players would be the first to be targeted.

Since no further information could be found for the names of Long Yingshui and Zhu Huan, they used those two students' names as...

Use keywords to search.

The two students are named Yang Tianwen and Xu Sen.

After entering their names, thousands of records appeared. Upon closer inspection, it became clear that these two students...

They were no ordinary people. They all entered the Third Normal School with the highest scores in the national college entrance examination that year, and their studies continued steadily after enrollment.

Their skills are outstanding, and what's even more remarkable is that they have reached the 7-dan level in Go and have represented the national team in the China-Japan Go Championship.

Yang Tianwen won a trophy in the chess tournament and was hailed as a chess saint by the school's teachers and students, while Xu Sen was called a chess fanatic. Speaking of which, they...

That day, it wasn't that they simply stood by and watched someone die. They had a well-known habit: when playing chess, they were completely oblivious to their surroundings.

He didn't ask. It is said that once, the two were playing chess when a sudden downpour began, just as the game was reaching a crucial point.

During the most intense moments, neither of them showed any emotion, sitting in the rain for over an hour until a winner was decided, at which point they were surprised.

To their surprise, they found themselves soaked—they had been so engrossed in the game of chess that they hadn't even noticed it was raining.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Shichao had a sudden thought: "Have you ever heard of the title 'Chess Saint'?"

When he said that, Lin Ding and Duan Yun both had a vague recollection of it, but couldn't remember where they had heard it before.

“It was Uncle He,” Jiang Shichao said. “Last night, Uncle He mentioned the ‘Chess Saint.’ He said that when it comes to playing chess, who…”

Even he was no match for the former Go master.

Upon reflection, the two realized that was indeed the case, but at the time everyone had dismissed it as trivial.

I didn't take it to heart. It seems that Uncle He might know Yang Tianwen.

The information online mainly revolves around Yang Tianwen and Xu Sen's glorious past at school, and the details of this incident.

The public's reaction after their birth was not mentioned, nor was anything discussed about where the two went after dropping out of school, so it is impossible to know anything about them.

Will there be retaliation?

They then turned their attention to the strange occurrences that had taken place at the school over the past 23 years, which were nothing more than haunted dormitories and the spirits of vengeful suicides.

This seems unrelated to the current situation, and even less connected to the drowning incident involving the two people 23 years ago.

However, it cannot be ruled out that strange events may have occurred during those 23 years without anyone knowing.

After spending the morning online, all three had extremely tired eyes. Looking at the time, it was already noon. They then...

Let's go to the cafeteria and eat first.

As Lin Ding was eating, he suddenly felt something brush against his foot. He looked down, but...

There was nothing there; he searched everywhere but found nothing. "What's wrong?" Jiang Shichao asked. He shook his head, muttering to himself...

He paused, then continued eating. He'd only taken a couple of bites when his foot was brushed against again. He looked down, but still saw nothing.

A chill ran down his spine, and he quietly told Jiang Shichao and Duan Yun. Upon hearing this, Duan Yun immediately tensed up and pressed his feet together.

He was lifted off the ground. Jiang Shichao looked around but didn't see anything. Just as he was beginning to feel uneasy...
