"Didn't you put on makeup tonight? Or didn't you sleep well?"
When hearing Chen Wei's question, Zhou Yu couldn't react and could only look at him blankly.
Seeing him like this, Chen Wei pointed to his own eyes and said, "I mean, your dark circles are only as bad as those of a giant panda. They weren't so heavy when we went to the barbecue the day before yesterday. Is it because you didn't apply powder tonight?"
"...I just haven't slept well in the past two days."
Zhou Yu, who understood what the other party meant, answered somewhat coldly. This was not because the other party's remarks made him angry, but because he was disappointed with the results of these two days of night travel.
Two months later, the atmosphere of the city at night has become completely different. If I have to describe it, it has become extremely ordinary, and the sinister feeling lurking in the shadows has disappeared.
Walking on such an ordinary street, you would naturally not encounter the female swordsman.
Because he was lucky, Zhou Yu went to the disappearing alley on Yongning Road on the night of the 7th. As a result, the alley did not appear until midnight.
Everything became too normal, so normal that it made him feel confused.
Even though he intuitively knew that the female swordsman would never appear again on Ausle Road, he still wanted to go there again to find out.
What I wanted to find out was not only Osle Road, but also the deep hole in the abandoned factory warehouse. I was originally going to find out two months ago, but was completely disrupted by the female swordsman incident.
There are so many things I want to investigate, but I can't do it tonight. Thinking of this, it was difficult for him to act like a warm and welcoming host to Chen Wei in front of him.
Before six o'clock in the afternoon, this guy rode his bicycle and drove Zhang Mumu to the downstairs of Zhou Yu's house early. According to him, he is responsible for logistics in the club and has to arrange the venue in advance.
"...You know that store is someone else's private property, right?"
"We are not here to steal. The garbage we create will be collected in the end. As long as the owner doesn't find it, it doesn't matter, right?"
Chen Wei answered naturally, with a smile on his face and no hint of guilt. There are also several plastic bags filled with snacks and drinks in the front basket of his bicycle.
Before Zhou Yu could comment on this, Zhang Mumu had skillfully taken out potato chips and canned coffee from the bag, and then handed the latter to Zhou Yu.
Because he subconsciously accepted the bribe from the other party, Zhou Yu could no longer maintain his critical stance.
Among the three, only Chen Wei, the club's logistics manager, did not make any attempt to enrich himself. Under the guidance of Zhou Yu, he went straight to the abandoned clothing store and began to survey the game venue.
"The size is quite suitable...but the windows need some work."
The store is located at the corner of the street, so it is protected from light, but the street lights can still shine in a little. In order to meet the "absolutely dark room" required by Four Corners Game, Chen Wei began to cover the shop windows with thick newspapers. Because the window area is not small, this work may take some time.
"Why not find a classroom in school to do it?"
Seeing Chen Wei's busy look, Zhou Yu frowned and asked after drinking coffee. He only had one set of scissors and tape, and he couldn't step forward to help.
"It used to be okay, but now the teaching building is very strict. The door will be locked after eight o'clock. If you sneak in, you will get a big demerit." Chen Wei replied casually, "Remember the girl who jumped off the building last year, right? Then you won’t be allowed to borrow the classroom after eight o’clock.”
Hearing what he said, Zhou Yu also thought about it.
The girl who committed suicide was named Tang Yan, and she was in the same dormitory building as Zhou Yu. Her suicide happened in October last year and caused quite a stir at the time. Because Zhou Yu had a good impression of the girl, she even lamented this incident in her diary.
"...Didn't she commit suicide in the dormitory?"
"No. Hey, don't you know it yet? That girl jumped from the sixth floor of the teaching building. Originally, in order to prevent accidents, the windows in our dormitory building were designed to only open half of the structure, and the rooftop was also locked. Yes. The girls’ dormitory should also have the same design. I guess it was after discovering this that the girls took advantage of the evening self-study time to jump off the teaching building.”
Chen Wei finished these words in a calm tone, as if he didn't have much thoughts about it.
Zhou Yu stood behind him, drinking coffee and asked: "Do you know much about this matter?"
"Since you are in such a club, it is difficult to understand, right? This incident only happens once in decades in our school, so it is not easy to hide it."
"Then do you know anything else? For example, the reason why the girl committed suicide?"
"No one knows for sure. It is said that the girl's grades and family background are quite good. Although she just broke up with her boyfriend, it seemed that the woman took the initiative and she did not show too much sadness. All in all, there is no reason to commit suicide. The reason. If it weren’t for the suicide note she left behind, this matter might have been treated as a homicide.”
"Is there a suicide note...what was written?"
"Only her parents and roommates know the details, right? But according to rumors, the content of the suicide note is also very short. It just says, 'I feel that living is very painful and I can't bear it anymore.' Something like this is general. It's because of giving The explanation given was too vague, which is why it caused such a big commotion. Everyone couldn't figure out the reason for her suicide, so they put forward various conjectures, including many theories such as being possessed by a ghost."
After listening to what he said, Zhou Yu slowly swallowed the last sip of coffee, and then said: "Nonsense."
"Are you the type who never believes in ghosts?"
"No. But I won't blame ghosts for people's suicides. What do you think?"
"I don't feel like a ghost either."
By the time we were talking, the window was completely covered with newspapers. Chen Wei put away the tape and scissors, pondered for a moment, and then said: "I think that girl may be suffering from depression, or a similar mental condition."
"Didn't I just say that her family situation is good?"
"It's not inconsistent with the family situation." Chen Wei smiled, "The actual level of life and the degree of happiness a person perceives are two different things. She specifically said in her suicide note that she felt living was painful, but she didn't explain it at all. The reason for the pain, does this sound abnormal? I think maybe it’s not that she doesn’t want to say it, but that she doesn’t understand it either. The only symptoms that fit this are mental illnesses such as depression.”
Zhou Yu lowered his head and threw the coffee can into the trash can. Although he did not express his opinion, he agreed with this explanation in his heart. People who looked lively and cheerful were actually suffering from severe mental illness. He always felt that he had heard of this kind of thing somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Just as he was thinking about this problem, Zhang Mumu happily rushed over from the corner of the street, holding an object taller than her.
"Classmate Zhou! Look at this!"
She raised the object in her hand as high as possible, and Zhou Yu turned around to look.
It was a female mannequin with a horribly painted face and cuts all over her body.
"...Where did you find it?"
"It's in the nearby green belt!" Zhang Mumu said mysteriously, "This doll has so many cuts, it must be a cursed object! When we play games later, it will definitely attract the resentful ghosts."
"What is the resentful ghost you are referring to?"
"This is the cursed object of this doll. This doll was cut so many times and was thrown in the wild, which means that the cursed object is already dead. It will definitely turn into a resentful ghost. Let's call him out later. , you can know who killed her."
Zhang Mumu said this with a smile, which made Zhou Yu feel that this dwarf was really unfathomable.
"...Forget it, I won't argue with you."
He said softly and watched helplessly as Zhang Mumu moved the female model into the clothing store.
