At this moment, there was still a while before dinner time, and Ning Qiushui and the two were just wandering around the campus.
I found some students passing by on the road and asked them about the word "laughing man". But as soon as those students heard these two words, their expressions changed drastically, and they turned around and left without saying a word!
The two of them asked this question several times.
It seems that in this school, "laughing boy" is a very taboo word!
After hitting the wall seven or eight times in a row, Ning Qiushui realized that it was useless to continue like this, and they had to think of some tough measures.
Seeing that the students were about to finish class, the two simply sat in the pavilion and took a rest.
The sun has gone to the west.
Yue Ru sat opposite Ning Qiushui, looking at some students or faculty members who occasionally passed by, and suddenly asked Ning Qiushui softly:
"Brother Qiushui, have you discovered anything?"
Ning Qiushui, who was deep in thought, came to his senses at Yue Ru's question. He raised his head and said calmly:
"Um."
"From the time we entered the school in the afternoon until now, almost every student or staff member we saw had a sullen face."
"The expression is serious."
"At first I thought this might have something to do with the approaching college entrance examination, but then I thought about it and found that the school has more than one grade of senior high school students. Judging from the total number of students, senior high school students only account for a small part. It is impossible for everyone to It’s all related to the college entrance examination, so their serious expressions probably aren’t because of the college entrance examination.”
After a pause, Ning Qiushui concluded:
"The reason why they are like this may be because of the 'Laughing Man'."
Yue Ru nodded, she came closer and whispered:
"Brother Qiu Shui, when I was in the dormitory, I saw something..."
Ning Qiushui's eyes flickered slightly.
Due to the hot weather, fine beads of sweat could be seen on Yue Ru's white neck.
As Yue Ru came closer, he smelled her faint fragrance again.
"What's up?"
Yue Ru didn't mind Ning Qiushui's eyes on her. She looked around, lowered her voice and said:
"When everyone was evacuating from the dormitory building, I saw a boy with a pale and rotten face standing behind the glass window on the dormitory balcony in the middle of the third floor, smiling at us..."
Thinking of the scene at that time, Yue Ru felt cold all over.
"He smiled very strangely... the way he obviously didn't want to laugh but was smiling with all his strength!"
Yue Ru trembled violently and fell into horrific memories.
There were so many people outside just now, so she didn't feel scared at all.
When she recalled it now, she felt chilly!
Because other people in memories are not as vivid as in reality, they are more like decorations.
So in her memories, the scary boy behind the window... seemed to be smiling at her alone!
Ning Qiushui's warm hands pressed on her shoulders.
"Don't think about it."
"The mission gave us five days, which shows that the conditions for triggering that ghost to kill are not so easy to meet."
"We still have time today to continue the investigation."
Yue Ru took a deep breath, barely suppressed the fear in her heart, and nodded.
When it was dinner time, they came to the corner of the cafeteria, where a young-looking boy wearing glasses was eating alone.
Ning Qiushui and Yue Ru sat next to him. The boy who was eating was stunned for a moment. He looked at the two of them and saw that they had their heads buried in eating. He also continued eating with a strange look on his face.
While eating, the boy found that the two of them raised their heads and kept staring at him.
He was a little panicked.
"What, what's wrong?"
Ning Qiushui smiled slightly.
"It's nothing, classmate, don't panic."
"We just want to ask you a question and then we'll leave."
The boy looked a little timid and nodded.
Ning Qiushui came closer and lowered his voice:
“Do you know ‘Laughing Man’?”
After hearing these two words, the boy's expression suddenly changed.
He shook his head hurriedly and said in a low voice:
"I don't know... I haven't heard of it."
After saying that, he held the plate and wanted to stand up and leave, but Ning Qiushui grabbed one of his hands.
The boy wanted to break free, but he never thought that Ning Qiushui was so strong!
"Tell me, if your hand is injured, you won't be able to study well..."
There was a hint of threat in Ning Qiushui's tone, and she exerted a slight force on her hand. The boy immediately felt a sharp pain in his wrist!
He looked at Ning Qiushui and wanted to continue to be harsh, but he noticed the murderous look in Ning Qiushui's eyes!
In fact, no matter how peaceful or docile a person is, as long as their hands are stained with blood, they will have murderous intent.
What's more, it's a professional veterinarian like Ning Qiushui.
After just looking at each other for a moment, the boy was defeated. He trembled his lips and gritted his teeth and said:
"I can tell you...but you can't tell anyone else, I said it!"
Ning Qiushui laughed.
"I didn't even ask your name, what do you think?"
The boy swallowed and looked around.
He didn't seem to be looking at the people around him, but instead seemed to be looking for something seriously.
After confirming that what he was looking for was not there, he whispered:
"The 'Laughing Man' is a supernatural rumor in the school..."
"The original origin comes from the abandoned dormitory building to the west of the school. The 'Laughing Man' first appeared from there..."
"Some bad things happened in that place, which caused a student to go crazy. He killed five roommates in the dormitory, dismembered them, and used black plastic bags given by the aunt in the dormitory to dismember them. The body parts of the roommates were bagged and hidden in their closets..."
"After doing all this, he hanged himself."
"...I heard that when the police collected the body, the six people in that dormitory all had very bright smiles on their faces."
"It was also from that day on that things started happening in the school. Within a year, sixteen students died in that dormitory..."
"The dead students died in different ways, but without exception, their corpses were all filled with extremely bright and weird smiles. People in the school said that this was the work of the 'Smiling Man'..."
"As long as someone smiles in school and is seen by it, it will come to you..."
