Chapter 9 Several Solutions

  A few people's words gave Xiao Mo a feeling of amnesia, otherwise how could all this be explained? He came to this city in a daze and then inexplicably entered this university. Looking back, he really didn't have many impressions.

  In any case, since the deceased's name list does not include him, he doesn't need to get involved in this muddy water anymore. It is wisest for him to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. Otherwise, continuing to entangle himself with this matter will inevitably lead to his being affected by the misfortune of others.

  As for the mysterious person who sent him a text message a few days ago, he is now 80% sure that the person is among these five people. Since the order of death can be found online, there is no such thing as prediction, and all five people in the classroom can do it.

  His name won't be on the death list, or he has nothing to do with this matter, or he finally found a way to escape. In short, he is the only survivor of this incident. Precisely because of his specialness, that person, no, it's more accurate to say these five people, will want to pull him down as well, using this as their breakthrough for escaping.

  Zhang Youshan was a common friend of his and Huang Liang, but after Zhang Youshan's death, their reactions were vastly different. Huang Liang was eager to find out the truth behind Zhang Youshan's murder, while he wanted to keep a safe distance, quickly drawing a line between himself and the incident. This approach may not have earned him Huang Liang's contempt, or even hostility.

  Later, Chen Qing found the death list online, and all the names of his classmates were on it, but his name was not there. This would make Huang Liang even more resentful. Why did Xiao Mo alone manage to escape the disaster that everyone else could not avoid?

  After that, the five people began their conspiracy. First, they let Pai Huangliang go to his home to install a surveillance camera, and then one of them sent him a predictive text message, so he was successfully deceived into this trap.

  Xiao Mo thought so in his heart, he tried to imagine everyone as extremely ugly, but despite this, his speculation still couldn't stand up.

  "No, if I were to plot against them, I would never reveal the list of the dead and wouldn't put them in such a special position, giving them room for suspicion."

  "Isn't this just a trap they want to use to drag me down?"

  Xiao Mo didn't think that Chang Leng and a few others would make such a foolish mistake, but if the text message wasn't from them, then this matter would become even more confusing.

  Only people in his class knew about this matter, and most of them had already left. It can be said that only a few people knew the situation. If the person who sent him a text message was not among these few people, then why did he know so clearly about his situation and this matter?

  Xiao Muo made a secret decision in his heart that no matter what the truth was, he would not participate in this matter again, lest he suffer losses and get burned.

  Several people, including Chang Lengfeng, apparently did not notice Xiao Mo's change and were still discussing how to escape. Xiao Mo had already lost interest in listening, but if he got up and left now, it would be too embarrassing, so he could only continue to stay here with a stiff upper lip. At this moment, Chang Lengfeng suddenly asked him:

  "What good ideas do you have?"

  Xiao Mu's subconscious wanted to shake his head, but Chang Lengfeng added another sentence:

  "You're our only hope for escape, after all, your name isn't on the list."

  Chen Qing, Huang Liang and others also turned their attention to him, Xiao Mo secretly swallowed his saliva, unable to bear the hopeful gaze of several people.

  Xiao Mo is also human, although he has a selfish side, he also has a kind side. In fact, he doesn't want anyone to die either, after all, these people are his classmates for a year, and there are good friends like Huang Liang among them. If it weren't for this incident being too dangerous, he wouldn't ignore it emotionally or rationally.

  At this moment, seeing several people with such eyes, Xiao Muo's heart also softened involuntarily. He nodded slowly to the few people.

  "I'm just expressing my view on this matter, which may not necessarily be correct."

  "We don't have any other way out now, just go ahead and say it."

  Qin You Ru smiled slightly, and her demeanor was even calmer than Zhang Da's.

  Having received nods of agreement from several people, Xiao Mo no longer hesitated and immediately expressed his thoughts:

  Everyone must have seen horror movies, I think the pattern inside is very similar to our current situation, that is, the rules for ghosts to kill people.

  I'll take the example of The Ring, where Sadako is incredibly powerful, but not just anyone can be killed by her. She can only kill those who have watched that cursed videotape, and even then she'll give them a phone call before killing them. To me, this is the rule for vengeful spirits to kill people.

  Looking back at the situation we encountered, each deceased person died in school, more accurately, on the flagpole of the school playground. The deceased were limited to students from Class 2B, with a death frequency of one person dying every midnight.

  Through the investigation by Class Monitor and Chen Qing beforehand, we also knew that this incident actually happened two years ago, which means it happened in the past. So for now, everything is fixed and unchangeable. We can also search for the death list online, from which we can get the order of each person's death and the specific time of death.

  After clarifying all these, let's go back to the rules of ghost killing. From what we have grasped, ghosts are only allowed to kill in school, and the dead will always die on the flagpole; ghosts can only kill one person per day, and can only kill at midnight; there is a certain order for ghosts to kill people, and it's not random every day.

  "After listing them out one by one, I thought of several ways to crack it."

  Xiao Mu's words suddenly made Chang Lengfeng and others look at him with new eyes. They had previously only been considering the ghost's motive for murder, but had never thought of this aspect. Upon hearing Xiao Mu say so, they suddenly felt enlightened.

  Chang Leng and Chen Qing exchanged a glance, apparently both thinking that Xiao Mo's analysis was quite plausible. Zhang Da and Qin You Ru held hands with each other, as if nothing in the world could separate them, looking very calm. As for Huang Liang, he showed some expectation, having been to Xiao Mo's home before, so naturally knowing that Xiao Mo had read many books on this aspect, it was hard to say whether there would be any unique insights.

  Xiao Mo didn't pay attention to the reactions of a few people and continued to speak on his own:

  "The first solution, you should all be clear about it, is to investigate the truth of this incident and then solve the problem from its root. Just like most rumors about ghosts, let's see if there are any grievances, whether there are any corpses buried on the playground, or whether anyone among us has done anything that goes against heaven and reason."

  But this approach is obviously difficult to implement, because whoever did something bad will not admit it.

  The second solution is to prevent the deceased from entering the school at night, so that the ghost cannot kill people. However, this method is also not easy to implement, because Xu Hai and others reappeared in the school after returning home, obviously there is some kind of force luring them back.

  The third solution is to cut down the flagpole with a lot of dead people on it, because everyone dies on that flagpole, so it's hard to say whether the flagpole will be the murder weapon of the ghost or not. Maybe destroying it won't make anyone else die."

  Xiao Mo was about to say a few more solutions, but thinking of the drawbacks of those solutions, he hesitated and didn't say anything. However, his analysis still shocked everyone, after all, he had just learned about these things and could analyze them in such a short time, which was enough to surprise people like Chang Leng.

  At this moment, Xiaomeng ignited the fire of survival in their hearts. Now, with so many methods available for them to try, I believe they will definitely survive, they can definitely make it!

  Several people sighed again at Xiao Mo, but Xiao Mo was not pleased with this. After all, no one knew if there really was a solution to this event. Later, several people discussed it in detail, mostly about specific implementation methods. Although Xiao Mo nodded repeatedly, his mind was not on this matter at all.

  Just as he was about to find an excuse to leave, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

  "You have a new message from..."

  Upon hearing it was a text message, Xiao Mo hastily pressed a key, which caused the phone to quiet down.

  Chang Lengfeng and several others just glanced at him, then shifted their attention back to the discussion of the event. Xiao Mo quietly looked around at everyone before pulling out his phone from his pocket.

  Lowering her head to take a look, Xiao Mo's heart suddenly skipped a beat, the sender of the letter was that mysterious person "I"!
