This person is Gu Dongcheng.
The moment she saw him, Ning Qiushui was actually a little surprised.
the reason is simple.
Yesterday when he was in the cafeteria, he saw Gu Dongcheng smile with his own eyes.
It is difficult for normal people to avoid laughing.
It's a habit.
When Gu Dongcheng was chatting with them, he forgot about the "Laughing Man" for a while, so he laughed...
But today he appeared in a familiar location, and it was as if nothing had happened.
This gave Ning Qiushui an important reminder.
——Not all campus legends may be true.
People who love to laugh may not necessarily be targeted by the "Laughing Man", and people who don't laugh may not be able to escape the hunting of the "Laughing Man"!
When they chatted with Gu Dongcheng for the first time before, from his silent reaction, Ning Qiushui actually knew that this year, the school was still dying "Chapter 83".
This shows that keeping a serious expression and being unsmiling... is actually of no use.
But Ning Qiushui was very cautious, so he tried it again - when everyone was gathering in the open space last night, Ning Qiushui specifically talked about this matter.
He chose to tell the story at this time because he wanted to verify whether "not laughing" was the key to preventing the "Laughing Man" from killing people.
But judging from this morning's conclusions... apparently not.
Three people died last night.
If they were targeted by the "Laughing Man" because they laughed two days ago, the example of Gu Dongcheng in front of them would not be justified.
Because he laughed too.
But nothing happened to him.
Not only did nothing happen, Gu Dongcheng might not have even seen the shadow of the "Laughing Man".
Both the dead and the living can fully reflect that whether the "Laughing Man" kills people or not has nothing to do with whether they laugh or not.
Ning Qiushui and Ning Qiushui sat opposite Gu Dongcheng again with their dinner plates in hand.
"morning."
Seeing the familiar face of Ning Qiushui, Gu Dongcheng was stunned for a moment, and then he choked on a mouthful of porridge...
"Cough cough cough..."
Gu Dongcheng coughed violently for a while before finally regaining his breath. He looked at the two of them with a red face and said speechlessly:
"Dig trough, why is it you he's talking about?"
Ning Qiushui said with a smile:
"What, don't you want to see us?"
Seeing the smile on Ning Qiu Shui's face, Gu Dongcheng's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately reminded Ning Qiu Shui:
"Don't laugh, be careful to be seen by the 'Laughing Man'!"
Ning Qiushui shrugged.
"It doesn't matter."
"By the way, today is Wednesday, the library should be open, right?"
Gu Dongcheng nodded:
"The library is open from Monday to Friday. It should be around ninety o'clock in the morning. I don't know the specific time. After all, I haven't been there before. I basically saw it when I went out for activities after class..."
Ning Qiushui sat opposite him and ate for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked a question that surprised Gu Dongcheng:
"Some students must have died in the school recently... Do you know those students?"
Gu Dongcheng's expression froze.
After a moment of silence, he said:
"I can't say that I know them well, but I know that those students are all students with relatively low grades in their grade."
"The school said that he committed suicide because he could not bear the pressure of studying and suffered from mental problems, but the classmates all said that it was the 'laughing man' who committed suicide..."
After saying that, he looked at his watch and then ate faster. Finally, Gu Dongcheng swallowed a few mouthfuls of buns, stood up and told the two of them that they would be late, and ran towards the door of the cafeteria...
After he left, Yue Ru couldn't help but said:
"Why do you pick out those with poor grades to kill...how weird."
"And the way they died was so horrific and weird, how could the police think it was suicide?"
Ning Qiushui replied:
"The world behind the Blood Gate is different from the real world outside the fog. Since it was done by ghosts, it is impossible for the police to find out the real murderer and cause of death. They can only attribute it to suicide..."
"And the date of the college entrance examination is not consistent with the outside world. The date of the college entrance examination in this bloody world should be 2 to 3 months later than the date of the college entrance examination over there."
"As for the 'Laughing Man', he probably doesn't specifically pick out those with poor grades to kill, but..."
He got to the key point, but stopped talking.
Yue Ru was anxious.
"But what, Brother Qiushui?"
Ning Qiushui glanced at her thoughtfully and replied with a smile:
"Nothing...just some unfounded speculations."
"After we finish eating, let's go look in the library. There should be important clues there."
Seeing that Ning Qiushui didn't speak directly, Yue Ru thought it was because he hadn't made up his mind either, so he could only lower his head and continue eating.
When she lowered her head, she looked at the food on her plate with fear in her eyes.
And behind the fear, there is a hint of... viciousness that is not easy to detect!
As if she had made some kind of decision, she chewed the bun in her mouth hard and swallowed it into her stomach.
"I'm stuffed."
Yue Ru put down her chopsticks.
Then the two of them threw away their plates and went outside the library.
They were lucky, the library opened very early today.
Gu Dongcheng told them that the library should not open until nine or ten o'clock, but in fact it was not yet nine o'clock, and the library door had already opened.
It's cool inside.
After the two entered, they found that the place was empty, with no one around.
"Excuse me, is there anyone here?"
Ning Qiushui shouted.
There was an unhurried sound of footsteps from the second floor.
Soon a middle-aged man with glasses and gray hair appeared at the railing on the second floor.
"You are……"
Ning Qiushui smiled slightly.
"We are people from outside the school and want to verify some things about 'Li Zhen' with you."
He knew that the man in front of him was the library administrator, who was Li Zhen's class teacher a year ago.
At the mention of this name that no one had mentioned again for a long time, the middle-aged man's expression changed slightly. He stood on the second floor and looked at Ning Qiushui carefully for a long time before finally nodding.
"Come up."
he said.
The two walked along the spiral staircase to the second floor and immediately smelled the aroma of jasmine tea.
The middle-aged man opened the curtains, moved two chairs, and placed them opposite a small coffee table, and then the three of them sat facing each other and drank tea.
"Are you Li Zhen's family?"
Facing his inquiry, Ning Qiushui shook her head.
"No, just some...people related to him."
"We want to know, what exactly happened?"
If other people in the school heard Ning Qiushui's words, they would definitely kick him out immediately!
But what the two of them didn't expect was that the middle-aged man wearing dark brown square glasses in front of them looked calm from beginning to end.
He took a sip of tea and then sighed.
"The hemp rope is cut at the thinnest part, bringing bad luck to the poor."
"That incident back then was really a fate that played a trick on people..."
