Ning Qiushui didn't know the reason why he was targeted by the "Laughing Man". There were too many possibilities... maybe anyone who had entered that dormitory building would be targeted, or maybe he had done something to bully his classmates. Maybe even just appearing in Changchun universities is the triggering condition.
But being targeted by it does not necessarily mean you will be killed.
From the description of the middle-aged man, Ning Qiushui seemed to understand where the obsession of the "Laughing Man" came from.
"I have one last question... Do you know about the legend of the 'Laughing Man' in the school?"
When the "Laughing Man" was mentioned, the middle-aged man's movements visibly paused.
"Did you come to me because of the 'Laughing Man' incident?"
"If this is the case, I'm afraid I have to say sorry to you, because this matter... I can't solve it."
Ningqiu Waterway:
"I actually want to ask...has it ever come to you?"
The middle-aged man was slightly startled, and then fell into silence for a while.
"Looking for it."
"when?"
"About half a year ago."
"Did it say anything to you?"
The middle-aged man shook his head.
He raised his hand and pointed in one direction, and the two of them looked in the direction of his finger. There were several rows of bookshelves deep on the second floor of the library.
Since there were no windows on the other side and the lights were not turned on, it seemed a bit dark and gloomy.
"It appeared in that place..."
"After I found it, it left without saying anything to me..."
Ning Qiushui nodded thoughtfully, then said goodbye to the middle-aged man and left here.
When they left, the middle-aged man stood at the door and said to them:
"If nothing happens...just leave the school early."
Ning Qiushui turned around and smiled, noncommittal.
But when he glanced at the window on the second floor of the library, he was slightly stunned.
He saw another person standing behind the glass window.
The man's face was pale, his skin was a bit rotten, and he was smiling hard at them!
Yue Ru obviously saw it too.
The two left quickly.
On the way back, Yue Ru kept shivering.
She lowered her head, so Ning Qiushui couldn't see her expression clearly.
But if Ning Qiushui squatted down at this moment, he would definitely be able to see Yue Ru's expression was very strange.
She seemed to be...laughing.
While shivering with fear, he was secretly laughing.
This smile also contained a touch of unspeakable viciousness.
"Brother Qiushui..."
Yue Ru suddenly said something.
Ning Qiushui didn't look at her and responded casually.
"What's wrong?"
"My stomach feels uncomfortable and I want to go back to the toilet."
"There are also public toilets elsewhere in the school..."
"I know, but I didn't bring any paper."
Ning Qiushui touched her pocket.
He didn't bring it either.
"Okay, do you want me to accompany you?"
"No, thank you... It's almost lunch anyway. You go to eat first. I'll come find you after I use the toilet."
Yue Ru smiled politely at Ning Qiushui, and then left in a hurry.
Looking at Yue Ru's leaving figure, the gentle expression on Ning Qiushui's face gradually disappeared.
His eyes were dark and he didn't know what he was thinking.
They stayed in the library for a long time. Seeing that it was almost lunch time, Ning Qiushui went to the cafeteria to get food.
He sat down at a familiar seat, and not long after waiting, a familiar person sat here again.
"Hey, little brother, why didn't you see that girl today?"
Gu Dongcheng was a little curious.
The people who came here to eat before were Ning Qiushui and Yue Ru.
But today, he only saw one.
"She went back to the dormitory and will come over later."
"oh."
Gu Dongcheng nodded and started eating.
"By the way, Dongcheng, let me ask you something. Have you noticed anything wrong in the past few days?"
Gu Dongcheng, who was eating, immediately raised his head when he heard Ning Qiushui's words, with a little surprise in his eyes.
"There's something wrong...nothing."
"The teachers and classmates around me are also quite normal."
"What's wrong?"
Ning Qiushui nodded.
"Nothing, let's eat."
He confirmed with Gu Dongcheng once.
Gu Dongcheng smiled, but was not targeted by the "Laughing Man".
Sure enough, the legend cannot be trusted at all.
Yue Ru soon came to the cafeteria, packed some food, and sat next to Ning Qiushui to eat.
Her hands were shaking.
Gu Dongcheng seemed to know something, and suddenly took out a small box of glucose from his schoolbag and handed it to Yue Ru.
"Did you not have breakfast? I used to get dizzy and my hands shook when I didn't have breakfast. I would just drink some glucose and it would be fine..."
Yue Ru looked at the glucose handed over by Gu Dongcheng and was stunned for a moment. Then she waved her hand and said:
"It's not that I didn't eat breakfast, or that I'm dizzy, I just... just had diarrhea and was a little exhausted."
Gu Dongcheng suddenly realized.
Then, he whispered again:
"Does it mean that girls can poop too... Ouch."
Of course, the two of them did not hear this sentence.
After finishing the meal, Gu Dongcheng went back to take a nap.
Yue Ru asked Ning Qiushui:
"Brother Qiu Shui, we have almost found out the truth now. Have you found a 'way to survive'?"
Ning Qiushui glanced at her and asked:
"What is our mission?"
Yue Ru recalled it.
"Survived five days in Changchun University."
"So how are we going to survive five days?"
Faced with Ning Qiushui's question, Yue Ru was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously answered:
"Escape from the pursuit of the 'Laughing Man'."
Unexpectedly, Ning Qiushui shook her head.
"wrong."
Yue Ru was stunned:
"No...isn't it?"
Ning Qiushui pointed to the school gate in the distance.
"It's impossible for us to get out of here for these five days. We can only stay in the school. The power of the "ghost" in the Blood Gate is extremely mysterious. When it is determined to kill someone, except for ghost weapons, , nothing can stop it.”
"Let alone running away, the school is so big, where can you run away?"
Yue Ru bit her lips.
"What should we do?"
Ningqiu Waterway:
"The only way to survive five days in school safely is if the 'Laughing Man' doesn't take action against us."
“For this to happen, one of three conditions needs to be met.”
"First, figure out all the laws of death in this blood gate, but this one is not reliable, because the laws of death can almost only be tested with human lives, and we don't have enough people now. If we continue to gamble, we The situation will only become more and more dangerous."
"Second, untie the heart knot of the 'Laughing Man'. Although I don't know what kind of existence the ghost behind the Blood Gate is, but after their resentment in life dissipates, they will no longer continue to kill people... at least in the past That's true for several doors, and that's why we're looking into the truth."
After Yue Ru listened, she slowly raised her head and looked at Ning Qiushui, and asked:
"What about third?"
Ning Qiushui said the words in a calm tone that made Yue Ru's scalp numb:
"Kill...everyone except yourself."
