In the cafeteria.
Jiang Xuyan was just about to take the tray to find a seat when he sneezed a few times.
Tang Zinian quickly hid his plate. âTeacher Jiang, donât let your saliva stain my plate.â
âWhat do you mean by âstainâ?â Jiang Xuyan was dissatisfied. âShouldnât you be concerned about my health?â
âTeacher Jiang looks very healthy⦠Compared to your physical condition, itâs more likely that someone is talking about you.â
Jiang Xuyan waved his hand. âDonât blame me, Director Wei-â
The few of them sat together. Since the cameraman was always around, they could only discuss the ârelated plot.â
However, the clues they had now were pitifully few. No matter how much they discussed, they could not come up with anything new.
Therefore, compared to solving the mystery, everyone was more concerned about who the âtraitorâ was.
âHe just entered the school not long ago. The traitor might not even know that heâs a traitor.â
âThe character card that Director Wei gave me doesnât have any hidden information on it. Itâs all for others to see. This is too difficult.â
âSo we still have to explore separately, right?â Zhao Yingnanâs face was full of reluctance.
âThere are a total of seven mysteries. There are exactly seven of us. We can speed up the progress by exploring separately.â Yu Muhuai said calmly, âAnd we should be wary of everyone. No one can guarantee that they are not the âtraitorâ.â
âThatâs right.â Shu Ling continued, âAnd I feel that thereâs another person who should be included.â
âAnother person?â Tang Zinian did not react in time.
âThat special guest.â Xu Xingzhou said, âWe still donât know what kind of identity he has.â
Everyone agreed.
And according to Wei Zheng Rong, the special guest should be very popular.
Since that was the case, they wouldnât be like extra NPCs who were only here to make a cameo appearance. They should be playing an important role in it.
The few of them planned their itinerary in their hearts as they ate. After dinner, they went straight to the activity room of the Mystery Club.
âThis should be our base camp.â
Jiang Xuyan said while looking at the sign at the door.
The activity room was located on the top floor of a teaching building in the corner of the school.
Although it was called an activity room, it was actually a small classroom that could only accommodate a dozen students. There was a line written on the blackboard in the classroom with chalk: âUnusual phenomena can always provide clues, but cases without any characteristics are difficult to solve.â
On the left side of the chalk was a small map of the school, which was exactly what they needed. Unfortunately, they could not tear it off, so they could only copy it or remember it in their minds.
Apart from that, there were also many sticky notes on the blackboard. The notes were all about the cleaning and activity arrangements of the Mystery Clubâs activity room.
Other than Song Qingyou and Xu Xingzhou, everyone elseâs names appeared.
There was also Li Xiaohua.
âLi Xiaohua?â Jiang Xuyan was the first to see it and he even complained, âThis name is too random!â
âThe name isnât important. Whatâs important is that weâre not the only ones in the Mystery Club.â
Shu Ling walked closer to take a look. âDo you still want us to look for her?â
The two of them tore off the note with Li Xiaohuaâs name on it and pasted it on the long table in the middle. Then, they went to check other things.
The activity room of the Mystery Club was decorated very carefully by the program team. Not only was there a blackboard full of hints, but there were also various mystery novels and magazines of different ages on the bookshelf in the corner, as well as a desktop computer placed by the window.
Song Qingyou pulled out a folder from the side of the bookshelf. Inside was the register of the members of the Mystery Club.
The others were attracted over and watched as well.
âLi Xiaohua is indeed a member of the Mystery Club. Quick, letâs see which class sheâs from. If we find her, we should be able to learn somethingâ¦â
Before Shu Ling could finish her sentence, Yu Muhuai, who was flipping through various newspapers, said,
âThereâs no need to look for it.â
He pulled out a statement from the newspaper.
The declaration was obviously torn from the wall, and there were signs of tearing at the bottom.
Below the words âsolemn declarationâ was the schoolâs detailed explanation.
âRecently, a student claimed on the Internet that someone was scared to death in our school⦠After verification by our school, this news is purely a rumorâ¦â
âStudent Li from XX Department, heart attackâ¦The school is deeply sorryâ¦â
The statement didnât say Li Xiaohuaâs full name. It only said which department she was from, but the program team couldnât just make a statement here.
Therefore, the student who had a heart attack and was rumored to have gone crazy was a member of the Mystery Club.
âHiss-why do I feel so chilly here?â Jiang Xuyan rubbed his arms.
It was already September, and Beijing was indeed getting cooler.
âThis canât be an adaptation of a real personâs story, right?â
Yu Muhuai walked straight to the window. âItâs because the window wasnât closed.â
âPfft.â Tang Zinian laughed out loud. âThe scary atmosphere that we just had is gone with a bang.â
Shu Ling said faintly, âTo be honest, Li⦠What happened to our classmates, will it happen to us?â
After all, Wei Zheng Rong didnât say if they would be eliminated.
Zhao Yingnan took a step back. âWell, letâs solve the puzzle quickly. Once we solve the puzzle, we wonât have to be afraid anymore.â
Song Qingyou nodded. âLetâs go to these legendary places first. Maybe we can find some traces.â
âCan I not go?â Zhao Yingnan swallowed her saliva. âI always feel that itâs a little scary.â
The production team had already arranged for them to undergo a physical examination in advance. It was impossible not to scare them.
âThere are so many magazines on the bookshelf and these newspapers. There should be useful information in them. I can stay in the activity room to investigateâ¦â
âWe werenât in a team anyway.â Song Qingyou said, âYou can stay here if you want.â
Zhao Yingnan breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to say something, the bell rang again.
âForget about the bell for lunch, why is it ringing again? Donât tell me they want us to have afternoon tea?â
âItâs more likely to remind us to go to class than afternoon tea.â
Yu Muhuai walked to the door and saw a few people walking towards the teaching building. He confirmed his guess.
âWeâre still students. Of course, itâs natural for us to attend classes.â
After saying that, he quickly walked out.
Seeing that the person behind her still hadnât reacted, Song Qingyou reminded him, âLetâs go too.â
The university courses were all held in different classrooms. They didnât even have a class schedule now, so they could only hurry up and follow the NPCs.
âI wonât be locked up in a small dark room if Iâm late, right?â
Jiang Xuyanâs words made them come back to their senses.
In this situation, it depended on everyoneâs speed and reaction.
The fastest was, of course, Yu Muhuai. He was the first to run.
But no one, including the production team, expected Song Qingyou, who was wearing a fishtail dress and high heels, to be the second one.
She was walking so fast and steadily, and there was no sign of her being restrained by her âequipmentâ at all.
Wei Zhengrong became silent.
âDonât worry, Director,â his assistant comforted him.. âDidnât we prepare a lot of clothes that restrict movement? There will always be a chance to get Sister Qingyou to wear them!â
