Leaving school, Xiao Mo didn't dare to return to the Ghost Building, so he had no choice but to find a small inn nearby to temporarily spend the night, or rather, he would have to spend the recent period of time in this way.

  Lying in bed, he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with the miserable image of Xu Lili's death. Fortunately, there was an old computer in the room that could be used to shift his attention at this time.

  He opened his computer and stared blankly at the screen, unsure of what to do for a while. After being dazed for a moment, he thought of searching for information about the incident.

  About the incident that happened two years ago, and the statement about the list of the dead, all came from Chen Qing's mouth, he didn't see it with his own eyes. As the saying goes, "hearing is false, seeing is true", if you don't see it with your own eyes, there will always be doubts in your heart.

  "Huh?"

  As he read about the incident, Xiao Mo couldn't help but let out a soft "hmm", the content he found was somewhat different from what Chen Qing had said.

  "Chen Qing said that the time when this incident occurred was two years ago, but it says here that it was five years ago. Moreover, the content of the death list is also inconsistent with what Chen Qing said."

  Xiao Xiao carefully checked and found that there was indeed a list of the dead in the report, but there were only fifteen names on it. Not only was his name not on it, but neither were the names of the five people led by Chang Lengfeng.

  "Why do they say that the list only doesn't have my name, when in fact their names aren't on it either? Why are they trying to deceive me about this? Is it because they're being influenced by some kind of power that allows them to see something I don't?"

  Xiao Mo furrowed his brow and continued reading, soon he made a new discovery.

  "The order of death, location, time and method on the list are all identical to what Chen Qing said. Zhang Youshan was the first to die, followed by Instructor Sun Yanjun...and Xu Lili is the eighth person to die. Everything that has happened so far is consistent with this list. If there's no mistake, then tomorrow's victim will be Ji Ruhai."

  After a more detailed search, Xiao Mo found that except for the time of the event and the number of people on the list being different from what Chen Qing said, there were no other discrepancies, they were all the same.

  This made him even more puzzled, concealing the real time of the incident and hiding the true number of people on the death list. What's the point of doing so? In his view, this information is not absolutely useless, at least it's quite useless.

  Xiao Mu's doubts deepened in his heart, and he decided to go find Chen Qing and others tomorrow to ask for clarification.

  The second day, inside the classroom.

  "What are you talking about? This incident indeed happened two years ago."

  "But why did I find out that it happened five years ago? And your names are not even on the death list!"

  Xiao Mo had just met with Chang Leng and a few others when he couldn't wait to ask the questions that had been on his mind. However, instead of explaining, they immediately refuted him.

  Huang Liang didn't know why Xiao Mo would say that. He patted Xiao Mo's shoulder and asked:

  "Didn't you see it wrong? I also went online to check the report about this matter, and indeed, what Chenqing said was true. It did happen two years ago without a doubt. And as for the death list you mentioned, our names are indeed on it, just not yours."

  Facing several people who refused to admit it even if they were beaten to death, Xiao Mo sneered and took out his mobile phone:

  "In that case, I'll search in front of you and see who's telling lies."

  Several people gathered around after hearing, and Xiao Mo didn't hesitate to quickly search for it. Soon he found the content about this incident and randomly opened one of them.

  The content above was just like what he saw before, the incident happened five years ago, and there were no names of Chang Lengfeng and others on the death list. But when he was about to tell several people that the evidence was conclusive, Huang Liang spoke first:

  "You see, it was indeed two years ago, and our names were on the list. I reckon you just misread it."

  "Yes, it scared me. But I really hope our names are not on the list."

  Xiao Mo looked at the expressions of several people, which didn't seem like they were talking nonsense, but what he saw was vastly different from them, and now he couldn't help but feel a bit dizzy.

  "Could it be that I was really disturbed by that power? But why am I different from them?"

  Xiao Mo's mind was once again shrouded in a layer of doubt, and then he repeatedly asked several times, but the result was all the same.

  The matter was quickly turned over by Chang Lengfeng and others, and the focus shifted again to how to prevent the deceased from entering the school.

  "With last night's lesson in mind, today we have one group inside the school and one outside. As soon as they see Ji Ruhai, they immediately go forward to subdue him."

  Chang Lengfeng finished speaking and glanced at several people before asking:

  "Do you have a better proposal?"

  "Why don't we just go straight to their home? We're not even sure if these people have really gone back, what if they haven't..."

  "I had considered this approach at first, but later had to give it up because these people's homes are not in the city and we don't know their detailed addresses."

  Their detailed addresses are easy to know, and a phone call can solve the problem. Moreover, this incident has been going on for some time, if you tell them the actual situation, I don't believe they will still hide at home.

  Xiao Mo felt that Chang Lengfeng was just making excuses and didn't want to go to those people's homes.

  Facing Xiao Muo's questioning, Chang Lengfeng remained calm and composed, only to hear him sigh after a while and say:

  "What you said is what I've been thinking. These days, I've been trying to contact them, but their phones are unreachable, and no one replies to our messages. We can't get in touch with them at all now."

  "So we now want to stop them, and can only stay in school, there is no other way."

  Chang Lengfeng's words didn't seem to convince Xiao Mo much. After a moment of silence, he asked again:

  "Whether these people have really gone home or gone somewhere else, we won't mention for now. The point is that we've lost contact with them, so we can call the police to report it. We can't find them, can the police not find them either?"

  "I have reported it."

  This time it was Chen Qing who answered Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo stared into her eyes and asked:

  "What did the police say?"

  "The police say I'm crazy because these people have been dead for two years!"

  "When did you call the police?"

  "It was on the day Xu Hai died that the police gave me a reply the day before. Is there anything else?"

  Xiao Xiao thought for a moment in her heart and then nodded without asking further.

  Xiao Mo no longer asked questions, and Chang Leng continued:

  "It's quite difficult to cut down the flagpole. Firstly, it's hard to saw through that thing, and secondly, there are people on the playground all the time, so we can't do anything about it unless we choose to do it in the dead of night."

  In this case, our focus is still on preventing them from entering the school. If we really can't prevent it, then consider other ways."

  Xiao Mo didn't have much hope that the deceased would be stopped from entering the school, which was evident from Xu Lili's sudden and stealthy appearance in the school yesterday. The high walls were absolutely impossible for her to climb over with her short stature.

  There was another thing that made Xiao Mo extremely worried, which was losing contact with those who had left school. The phone couldn't get through, the text message didn't have anyone to reply, if Chang Lengfeng hadn't lied, then these people were truly missing.

  Maybe they didn't go home at all, but went somewhere else, or... they're already dead.

  Xiao Mo thought of the content of that text message again, and the mysterious person told him that only by continuing to investigate with Chang Lengfeng and others would he have a chance to gain an advantage. Was this hinting that those who did not participate in the investigation would be eliminated?

  The more he thinks about the doubts in his mind, the more they multiply. For now, he can only take things one step at a time, but before that, he needs to make a call to the police station because he doesn't trust Chenqing.

  Xiao Mo didn't know why he suspected Chen Qing and the others, they were all his classmates, and his good friend Huang Liang was among them. Emotionally and rationally, he shouldn't have had such thoughts, but in fact, he didn't even believe what his good friend Huang Liang said.
