Chapter 4: The School Was Once a Graveyard

When we arrived at his residence, he was watching television. He was slightly surprised by our arrival

I shook my head and withdrew my gaze, while Old Chen continued to narrate. It is said that the girl who committed suicide was very outstanding, both in terms of her academic performance and appearance. At this point, Old Chen sighed, saying, "Such a good child, suddenly took her own life"

Li Mofan beside him said: "Zhang Wei, do you like her?"

"Why is our class cursed? The initial vote was just a joke," Ye Ruoxue said

In addition to our group, other groups also conducted investigations. One afternoon, we had ample time. The entire school is large, with numerous teaching buildings, as well as many abandoned warehouses

I was listening attentively from the side, but my gaze was fixed on Old Chen's room. This small room was very cramped; apart from a television and a kang, there was nothing else except for a few items hanging on the wall. The kang was in complete disarray, and in one corner, I unexpectedly discovered a pair of black lace panties, which had white stains on them

"How would I know that? It's not mealtime for the young lady yet. If you have nothing to do, you may leave." The middle-aged female chef's expression visibly changed for a moment, and then she pushed Ye Ruoxue out.

"Nothing happened at school," a female chef replied

"Why do you want to join us?" I stammered. A playful expression appeared on Ye Ruoxue's exquisite face as she slyly replied, "Of course, it's because of what you just said. I think you're very clever. If we collaborate, we might discover something."

"Alright, we should be leaving now. We will see you again when we have the time," Ye Ruoxue said. After a while, Ye Ruoxue followed us out. As I was leaving, I glanced at Old Chen and then turned to leave.

Ye Ruoxue shook her head, her expression one of helplessness as she said, "I haven't been able to ask anything, but I have a feeling that they definitely know something; they are just deliberately not telling me."

Ye Ruoxue has delicate features and a lively, charming personality, which often draws my gaze towards her. The three of us walk through the school. The entire school shows no signs of silence due to the deaths of two individuals. Students from other classes are actively engaging on the playground.

I was taken aback for a moment, and when I looked up, I saw Ye Ruoxue from our class. She is one of the school beauties in our class, with a lively and cheerful personality. She is very popular among both boys and girls.

On the way back to the class, Ye Ruoxue asked me: "Do you think the suicide of that girl is related to the curse of our class?"

Old Chen, the boiler operator, is the oldest person in the entire school. His skin is rough, his face resembles black charcoal, and he has an honest and simple appearance. Everyone calls him Old Chen. As for his actual name, no one knows it anymore

"Why is it that other classes are not like ours?" Ye Ruoxue asked us

What is this, https://mhetushucomcom? Let me share the most explosive news with everyone. The attention-seeking Wang Wu suddenly stood up. Then, with great pride, he said: "I just called my cousin and had him send someone to investigate the address of this school. Can you guess what I found out? This school used to be a cemetery"

Soon, the classroom was completely filled with people, as this was a matter of life and death for the entire class. Even the person who loved to joke the most maintained a serious expression at this moment

"One more person is still needed," Li Mofan said

I also heard about this news, and I also know that the girl who committed suicide was a student from the previous class, and she was also in Class 5

Did you ask about what happened? I hurriedly inquired

What brings you to me?" Old Chen smiled at her

"Just say what you need to say." Old Chen replied without a moment's hesitation

So that's how it is. Ye Ruoxue nodded, as if she had made a great discovery. Her eyes sparkled continuously

"Sigh, saying this is pointless," Ye Ruoxue said dejectedly

After walking around the playground for quite a while, we asked many people, but the basic response was the same, which was that they did not know

"Then who should we ask?" Li Mofan inquired

"You are right, I will definitely not give up," Ye Ruoxue said, and the despair on her face vanished in an instant. She confidently waved her fist, and her chest puffed out, leaving me momentarily stunned

"Let's look again at https://www.hetushu.com, they must know something," I said

"Let me start by saying that I heard about a girl who committed suicide in the girls' dormitory three years ago," Ye Ruoxue was the first to raise her hand and call out. Then others responded in kind.

I was taken aback for a moment, then shook my head with a wry smile and self-deprecatingly said, "I have no right to have preferences."

As I stared at her intently, Ye Ruoxue finally realized something was amiss. She shot me a glance filled with embarrassment and anger, then walked ahead of the group. She skipped joyfully at the front, her long black hair dancing in the wind. Gazing at her youthful and beautiful figure, I found myself somewhat entranced.

"Old Chen, we have come to see you." Ye Ruoxue skipped over, her lively personality allowing her to quickly befriend even strangers. This is also the reason for her popularity in our class

"Everyone, please share any information you have gathered," Guan Yao said from the podium.

Well then, I nodded. Thus, the three of us formed an investigation team. Now that classes have been suspended for the entire afternoon, we have plenty of time to conduct our investigation

Go ask the old man who operates the boiler. He has been at this school the longest, I said after a moment of contemplation. Then I took Ye Ruoxue and Li Mofan to the boiler room.

Not sure, but let's investigate around the school. Perhaps we might discover something. I said this, and then a few of us started to wander around the school.

That was three years ago, at the girls' dormitory. Suddenly, a girl jumped from the building and committed suicide. Since then, in the entire dormitory, we often hear a woman's voice at midnight, around 12 o'clock, said Old Chen.

What should we do? I have no idea at all. What can we do?" Ye Ruoxue said anxiously

Indeed, it is this matter. Later, the dormitory building was no longer in use, and it remained there. Old Chen pointed outside; within the entire school, there are many abandoned buildings, one of which used to be the girls' dormitory. It has now been transformed into the school's sports equipment storage.

How can you be so sure? I asked with a smile

"Just pick one," I said nonchalantly. At that moment, a timid voice spoke up: "May I join you?"

He has been at this school for over 20 years, living alone without a partner. He has long regarded the school as his home. Every day, he resides in a small house next to the boiler room

"It shouldn't be the case," I shook my head and said, "Even if that girl became a vengeful spirit after her death, it shouldn't have anything to do with us. That girl committed suicide three years ago, and we were all in middle school three years ago."

We would like to know if any strange occurrences have happened in the entire school before, such as deaths or the like," Ye Ruoxue inquired

At the very least, one must understand that this school is certainly not as peaceful as they claim. Something must have happened that compelled them to conceal the truth. I analyzed calmly

Of course, I have watched five hundred episodes of Conan and mastered over three hundred methods of locked-room murders from books. Ye Ruoxue shook her head proudly, inadvertently revealing a hint of mischief. It stirred something in my heart. However, she is the school beauty, and someone like me, a loser, is not even in her sights. Thinking of this, I shook my head and deliberately kept my distance from her

Ye Ruoxue walked out of the cafeteria helplessly and happened to see us waiting.

"This is truly wonderful, what exactly is the matter?" Ye Ruoxue exclaimed with delight

After returning to the classroom, one after another, the students began to come back. They brought with them various pieces of news. Some of this news was merely hearsay, while others were based on rumors.

"Who knows, but I really envy them," I said helplessly, watching the students playing basketball on the playground. Compared to them, we are practically living in hell. No one knows whose turn the upcoming vote will fall upon.

Well, there is indeed such a thing, "Old Chen pondered for a moment and said

"We have some matters to inquire of you," Ye Ruoxue stated directly as she opened the door

"Now that you mention it, I do recall such an incident. It is said that the girl took her own life due to her despair," Ye Ruoxue suddenly remarked

"Auntie, do you know what happened in the entire school before?" Ye Ruoxue asked while bouncing around in the cafeteria. The people she was asking were all veterans who had worked in the school cafeteria for over ten years; they should know what had happened in the school's past.

"So, have there been any deaths in the school before?" Ye Ruoxue inquired

Soon, the classroom became lively as everyone formed teams with one another. Naturally, Li Mofan and I were in the same group.
