Chapter 0008 The Hair-Raising Truth

After these words were spoken, the classroom immediately fell into a profound silence again

Class B of the second year, isn't this our class!

Xiao Mo's emotions began to become chaotic; he hoped that someone would speak out against him, to refute this terrifying speculation. After that, he stubbornly asked Chen Qing:

Chen Qing paused for a moment and then asked Xiao Mo, who appeared to be deep in thought:

Xiao Mo only felt a buzzing in his eardrums, and cold sweat instantly seeped from his forehead

Xiao Mo was momentarily stunned after hearing this. He could understand why his name was not on the list of the deceased; perhaps he had ultimately survived. However, it was impossible for him not to be on the school's list! He had indeed been admitted through the college entrance examination, and there could be no mistake about that.

Your name is not on the list of the deceased. Furthermore, we could not find your name on the school roster either

Perhaps feeling that the despair of a few individuals would complicate the subsequent investigation, at this moment, Chen Qing spoke up again

Xiao Mo was taken aback and asked in surprise

The police closed the case so hastily, and the tragic incidents that occurred consecutively on campus went unnoticed by anyone. Students from other classes all claimed to be unaware of the matter. If all of this is taken into account, does it not imply...

They actually told me that they did not know anything about the murder case! There is no one dead on campus!

At this moment, although Xiao Mo appeared very calm, his face was dark and gloomy. He glanced at Chen Qing and said in a low voice

How is this possible! Wasn't it the people from other classes who previously discovered the body of You Shan? How could they not know that someone was murdered at the school

As the class monitor, Chang Lengfeng, who was also the first to initiate the investigation, naturally became the backbone for several individuals at this moment. He did not disappoint expectations; after a brief silence, he regained his former confidence.

Hearing Xiao Mo speak so calmly surprised several people to varying degrees, yet before Xiao Mo finished his words, he continued to say:

After a long time, the class leader, Chang Lengfeng, finally broke the deathly silence, and he said with a bitter smile:

If I am not mistaken, the deceased should be us

After receiving this terrifying response, I subsequently inquired with several teachers, from whom I obtained even more alarming information.

Xiao Mo's name is not on the school's list, which may simply be an oversight by the school, perhaps just a coincidence. However, the absence of his name from the list of deceased proves that Xiao Mo is the sole survivor of this murder case

Xiao Mo initially anticipated that this incident would be very strange and unpredictable, but he never expected it to reach such an unbelievable extent. However, he did not despair because, apart from the information sent by that mysterious person, he believed that for every problem, there exists a solution. Therefore, this unbelievable incident must also have some form of resolution; it is just that they have not yet found it.

However, what Chen Qing said next doused him with a bucket of cold water

I was shocked to such an extent that I believe you can imagine it. Clinging to my last shred of hope, I went online to search for information about that murder case and the identities of the victims involved.

If that is the case, does it not mean that we died two years ago? But is that possible? Even if we do not exist in reality, could our families be the same?

In other words, as long as we can survive this murder case, all problems will resolve themselves, and we will return to our previous way of life. Therefore, the focus is solely on how we can survive

There indeed occurred a series of homicides at the school, with the manner of death, the appearance of the deceased, and the locations of the deaths all bearing similarities to this incident. However, they are merely similar, as this homicide took place... two years ago

This incident has lasted for a total of seven days so far, with one person tragically dying on the flagpole each day. Subsequently, the police arrive to collect the bodies and hastily conclude that the deaths are suicides.

This means that in their eyes, a murder has never occurred in the school, and they are unaware of anyone having died. In other words, only our class knows about this matter

You are correct

Moreover, one thing is certain: since the occurrence of that murder case, Class B has been abolished by the school. In other words, the classroom we are currently in is a non-existent classroom

The results soon emerged; the deceased were all students from Class B of the second year, including the instructor, totaling twenty individuals, all of whom tragically died at the school flagpole without exception. At that time, the police even established a special task force to investigate the matter, and it was said that specialized personnel were dispatched from higher authorities, yet ultimately, no conclusive findings were reached.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mo's expression finally changed; he showed a moment of surprise and quickly asked:

Is my name not there? Is it also not in the school?

What does this mean

As for the school authorities and even the students from other classes, their attitude towards this matter has been quite indifferent, as if no one had been murdered in the school. During this time, I asked several people about their views on this series of murders, but their responses sent chills down my spine

Which number am I?

In fact, the issue of time is not really an issue; whether we are living two years ago or living in the present, it does not have any impact on us. We can now communicate smoothly with outsiders and with our family, so there is no barrier of time.

Perhaps only he can find a way to escape from this situation

Can you guess how they responded to me

Xiao Mo silently nodded, and then he heard Chen Qing say:

Furthermore, if the deceased were indeed us, how could the teachers in the school have no recollection, and how could they convey anything to a dead person? They would have been terrified, not to mention that I had previously been taken to the police station by the officers, which is also a true occurrence

"What does it mean?" Chang Lengfeng whispered a phrase and replied to Xiao Mo:

Please calm down and listen to me finish speaking

He cannot remember at all! If he cannot recall this matter, then why did he come to this city? He has no impression; he actually has not the slightest impression of this matter.

Due to the absence of motive, evidence, and the possibility of a crime, this murder case has been defined as a collective suicide incident

At this thought, Xiao Mo's heart skipped a beat, and his expression became increasingly unpredictable, for he was horrified to discover that there was not a trace of the examination scene in his mind

We are only in our second year of university; if it were two years ago, we would not have entered university yet. Wait!

Xiao Mo raised his head and met Chen Qing's gaze for a moment, then he shook his head and said: "I cannot guess."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing no longer kept them in suspense and said sharply

Chang Lengfeng also responded in agreement, which can be considered as a positive affirmation to Xiao Mo

Indeed, Chen Qing's words had an effect, and the faces of Zhang Da and the others immediately regained some vitality. Xiao Mo, sitting beside them, remained unchanged in expression, his gaze shifting as he continued to ponder a solution

The empty classroom suddenly fell silent, as six pale faces gazed at each other. Their heavy breathing sounded like sharp, piercing wails of ghosts, creating an atmosphere of sheer terror.

Did I really take the college entrance examination? Then what score did I achieve in the examination

Xiao Mo did not speak again, but desperately pondered countermeasures in his mind. Although his life was extremely dull, it is undeniable that he had not yet lived enough.

Xiao Mo found it difficult to articulate this conjecture, as it had already surpassed the bounds of incredibility and could undoubtedly be described as unfathomable. He refrained from voicing it because he hoped that his conjecture was incorrect

Chen Qing signaled Xiao Mo to remain calm, and then listened to her continue speaking

According to Chen Qing's investigation, I now know our order of death. I am the sixteenth victim, Zhang Da is the seventeenth, Qin Youru is the eighteenth, Chen Qing is the nineteenth, and Huang Liang is the twentieth

As Huang Liang mentioned, there is no information about you here

After a long time of hesitating and stammering, Xiao Mo still could not provide an answer. Chang Lengfeng and the others were too lazy to ask further and each withdrew their gaze. However, there was one point on which their thoughts were unanimous, and that was the uniqueness of Xiao Mo

Hehe. It indeed sounds quite absurd, but it is undeniable that this is the fact before us. If we wish to provide an apt explanation, we can only regard this place as a time tunnel, through which we are constantly traversing.

All eyes were focused on Xiao Mo, and Huang Liang looked at him with a strange expression before saying to him

The person who answered Xiao Mo was the burly Zhang Da. From the look of despair on his face, it was evident that he had already prepared for the worst.
