âIs there really someone in this school?â
âWhy does it feel so deserted?â
Before entering, Jiang Xuyan muttered a few words.
As soon as they stepped into the school gate, they looked around at the same time.
In order not to be judged as out of character, it was better to speak less at this time.
After passing through the security room and the woods on both sides of the door, they finally saw the NPCs that Wei Zhengrong mentioned.
On the left side of the main road were a few neatly arranged teaching buildings.
On the right side was the flag-raising platform. Below the flag-raising platform was a huge playground. The NPCs on the playground were like ordinary school students. Some played basketball, some did various sports, and some walked and chatted.
When the seven of them appeared above the flag-raising platform, many people looked over.
âItâs quite real.â Jiang Xuyan looked around and sighed,â 1 miss itâ¦â The life in the past.â
He wanted to say that he missed his student days, but when the words reached his mouth, he remembered that he was playing a student now, so it was very awkward to say it.
âMe too.â Tang Zinian nodded in agreement.
The few of them smiled tacitly.
Song Qingyou stared at the field for a long time before suddenly saying,â Look at those people over there. They keep looking over here. Are they talking about us?â
The others followed her gaze and saw a few girls glancing at them from time to time.
The other NPCs on the field would only look at it once before looking away. They were very professional and played the role of ordinary students.
Among them, the group of people who had been looking at them all this time stood out.
If he were to use a game analogy, it would probably be that those people had a golden exclamation mark on their heads. With a poke, they could receive missions or obtain certain information.
Shu Ling reacted quickly and immediately walked down the stage towards those people.
The others consciously followed.
âHello.â Shu Ling asked directly,â May 1 ask what you were talking about?â
The girls immediately looked away guiltily and took two steps back.
Two of them even glanced at Zhao Yingnan from time to time. Their intentions were obvious.
Zhao Yingnan stepped forward. âWere you looking at me just now?â
The girl in the middle nodded. âYes, if I remember correctly, you are Zhao Yingnan, Junior Zhao, right?â
âYes, yes.â
Zhao Yingnan wasnât used to being called junior.
However, the girl did not seem to notice it and immediately exclaimed, âWow, itâs really the new school belle. 1 told you I didnât see wrongly!â
âJunior, itâs like this. We are members of the cheerleading team and would like to invite you to join the schoolâs cheerleading team. If you join, we will definitely be like tigers with wings!â
Without waiting for Zhao Yingnan to respond, the person next to her continued,
âCaptain, our school can only join three clubs at the same time. I heard that Junior Zhao has already joined the badminton club and the literature clubâ¦â âIsnât there still one more spot? What do you think, Junior Zhao?â
Zhao Yingnan pursed her lips. She wasnât very good at rejecting others.
âYingnan, didnât you join the Mystery Club?â Shu Ling reminded her.
Zhao Yingnan suddenly realized that she had almost forgotten about her character setting. She quickly said, âThatâs right, Iâve already joined the Mystery Club, so Iâm sorry!â
âThe Mystery Club?!â
Hearing this keyword, the NPCs who were originally silent suddenly gathered around.
âWhatâs wrong?â Zhao Yingnan looked at the crowd that surrounded her in confusion.
âI heard that the Mystery Club has been researching the mysteries of the school recently.â
âWhat mystery? Thatâs a supernatural event! If we really investigate, someone might die!â
âBut isnât that a legend? Legends canât be taken seriously, right?â
âYou guys are ignorant.â Someone in the middle lowered his voice as if he was telling a horror story.
âDo you know the rooftop of Building B? You are generally allowed to enter the rooftops of other teaching buildings, right? However, you canât do that in Building B because many people have heard the cries of children up thereâ¦â
âI know about that. Itâs just that some time ago, there was a senior who had a heart attack and hasnât been to school for a long time. I heard from her classmates that she might have gone crazy!â
Hearing this, some peopleâs expressions stiffened.
âCould it be the wind?â Shu Ling pushed up her glasses. âFor example, if there are any pipes or air vents on the rooftop.â
The sound of crying and the whining of the wind were very similar.
The NPC who spoke shook his head. âNo, the rooftop of every building is the same. Thereâs no crying in the other buildings. Also, Building B is in the middle.â
Jiang Xuyan frowned. âSo this is the mystery of the school?â
âOf course not.â someone replied.
âThere are also the eyes behind the bookshelves in the library, the corpses hanging from the red maple trees, the biochemical laboratory with strange sounds, the strange piano in the musical instrument club, and the murder sculptures.â
Tang Zinian counted with his fingers. âSix in total?â
âNo, seven.â The girl who first spoke to Zhao Yingnan said, âThere are seven campus legends.â
âWhatâs the seventh?â
âThe person who solves the mysteries will become a new mystery.â
âWhat do you mean?â Jiang Xuyan blinked.
âIt means that they will die.â
âUh, is this why we focus on the heart during the physical examination? Donât tell me he arranged for a ghost to scare us?â
Jiang Xuyan looked around vigilantly.
At this moment, a few more people walked over.
âWhat are you guys talking about? I think I heard a school mystery?â
âI already said that those are all rumors. They canât be believed! Why is there still someone talking nonsense here?â
âDo you have to make the school panic and close down?â
The moment those people arrived, the students who were still mumbling immediately shut up.
After that, the group of people who had finished talking about the âschool mysteriesâ seemed to have just seen Jiang Xuyanâs group. Their eyes wandered for a while and finally fell on Song Qingyou.
âAre you Senior Song?â Someone revealed a surprised expression.
The few people who had stopped these people from talking about the school legend also looked at Song Qingyou.
âSo Senior Song is here too.â
After saying that, he reminded the others, âHow dare you mention such groundless rumors in front of Senior Song? Do you not want to stay in school anymore?â
It sounded like these people clearly knew Song Qingyou was the daughter of the board of directors.
âI told them to say it,â Song Qingyou said tentatively. âItâs better to keep it a secret. The more I donât let them say it, the more they want to say it in private.â
âSenior, you have a point.â The boy in the lead nodded and said, âIâll remind the other members of the student union to be more relaxed about this matter.â
âAre you the president of the student council?â Song Qingyou raised her eyebrows.
âYes, what do you need me to do, senior?â
âDo you have the key to the rooftop of Building B?â
âThis⦠Senior, youâre not allowed to enter that place.â The boy said softly, âAs
far as I know, the key is only with the security guard..â
