Ah ... ... it has worked!

"It is... it is this rooftop where we are sitting now... it seems... it seems to be haunted..." Fei Lan said with a furrowed brow, her voice trembling slightly. She rubbed her cold arms, her body gradually tightening in fear. "Although there were no strange posts on the BBS, I heard from my deskmate that she came home quite late the night before last and saw a creature that looked like a monkey jumping up and down here, making a terrifying noise. If it weren't for wanting you to have a peaceful lunch without being disturbed, I... I really wouldn't want to come to this place..."

By the way, Xingyi, have you heard? It seems that many strange things have been happening at school recently...

"Prank?" Fei Lan furrowed his brow in suspicion, looking at Teng Xingyi who was struggling with the fried shrimp, his face full of confusion

Seeing Fei Lan's tightly clenched fists slowly relax, the alarm was lifted! Teng Xingyi finally let out a long sigh of relief

"Xiao Lan, stop being so paranoid!" Teng Xingyi threw a fried shrimp into the air and caught it with his mouth. He puffed out his cheeks and replied nonchalantly, "There are no ghosts in this world at all. I have already investigated it; those incidents are merely pranks by bored people."

Indeed, the corner of Teng Xingyi's mouth was stuck with a plump grain of rice. She turned to Fei Lan and smiled confidently, "As for the screams outside the classroom, they are actually caused by someone deliberately propping open a crack in the window facing north with a stone. When the wind blows through the crack, it naturally produces a 'woo woo' sound! And that piano-playing black cat is quite simple! In fact, someone installed a music box inside the piano and connected it to the keys with a few fine steel wires. As long as you wind the music box, the piano will play by itself! As for that strange cat... well, it probably ran in because the window wasn't closed properly."

Looking at Teng Xingyi's radiant smile, Fei Lan felt a sense of weakness throughout her body. She gazed gently at Teng Xingyi and shook her head helplessly.

Hmm, yes, speaking of which, Fei Lan's expression became somewhat tense. These past few days, everyone has been discussing the mysterious strange posts that have appeared on the campus BBS! They always appear at midnight and are pinned at the top of the forum, only to disappear automatically after a while. Moreover, the terrifying events predicted to happen the next day in the posts seem to have actually occurred! Last week, while the boarding students were studying in the study room, they suddenly heard a terrifying shriek coming from outside the classroom! However, when everyone rushed out to see, they found that there was not a single person outside the classroom... Additionally, the piano classroom has also been acting strangely lately. A student passing by in the middle of the night heard piano music coming from inside. But when that student went to check, the piano classroom was also empty, with no one there, only a black cat standing on the podium in the classroom. Everyone says that it is that black cat playing the piano...

Well! I understand! Fei Lan has finally calmed down, and Teng Xingyi's smile has once again blossomed brightly

The expression in Fei Lan's eyes flickered with a hint of doubt as she instinctively raised her hand to brush away the rice grains from Teng Xingyi's lips, pondering for a moment. Suddenly, as if recalling something, her body unconsciously leaned a little closer to Teng Xingyi, seemingly trying to conceal her fear, and she said anxiously, "Then... how should we explain the incident in the chemistry laboratory? I heard that the blackboard in that classroom once displayed lines of terrifying writing on its own. At that time, the students of Class 5 in Year 3 and the chemistry teacher screamed and rushed out of the laboratory. Also, the white shadow above the girls' dormitory... it is true that someone saw it with their own eyes, and they even heard that shadow crying!"

"Strange things?" Teng Xingyi happily chewed on her favorite fried shrimp and turned to glance at Fei Lan

"Hmm? Is there anything else?" Teng Xingyi lazily leaned against the railing, squinting at the brilliant sunlight above, casually nibbling on a dessert after the meal—a bright red apple. ... Ah ...! ... The sweet and crispy texture, delicious

As for the issue of the white shadow on the rooftop, it is rather complicated to explain... " Teng Xingyi scratched his head, hesitatingly smiling, but when he saw Fei Lan's eyes desperately flashing the words "I really want to hear, I really want to hear," he couldn't help but soften his heart. He quickly looked around and leaned his head close to Fei Lan's ear, "Xiao Lan, I will only tell you about this matter, and you must not tell anyone else! A few days ago, a girl's younger brother helped her carry her luggage, but because he chatted with her too late, he forgot to go out before the dormitory door was closed. As a result, he had to wrap himself in a white bed sheet and spent the night on the rooftop of the girls' dormitory! As for the crying sound, I think it was probably because he was too cold, which made him cry!"

Ah! I’m so sorry! Did I say something wrong again?" With a gaze fixed on the cold air "hissing" from Fei Lan's eyes, and seeing the iron fist rapidly approaching his face, Teng Xingyi quickly raised his left arm to block Fei Lan's iron fist from hitting his face, pleading through the gaps in his palm, "But Xiao Lan, what I just said was from the heart! Please don’t be angry anymore!"

The writing on the blackboard is even simpler; all you need to do is dissolve lime in a certain chemical agent containing phosphorus molecules. As the indoor temperature rises, the lime solution applied to the blackboard will become visible and then evaporate!" Teng Xingyi, still unsatisfied, licked her lips and reluctantly gazed at the empty lunchbox.

Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough! Upon hearing Fei Lan's words, the apple that Teng Xingyi was swallowing got stuck in her throat due to shock, causing her to nearly cough out her heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys!

"Is that true? I can't believe such a thing exists!" Fei Lan couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this, and the fear she had just felt dissipated in an instant. However, it seemed she recalled something again, and her whole body shivered, with all the hairs standing on end. "But Xing Yi, there is still... one more thing..."

Forget it... After a short while, Fei Lan sighed helplessly, turned sideways with a flushed face, and glanced at Teng Xingyi. He stuffed his lunchbox into Teng Xingyi's hands, saying, "You always speak your mind like this, I've long since gotten used to it. Hurry up and eat your lunch, I'll just go to the cafeteria to eat later."

He held the chopsticks, eating the meticulously prepared bento by Fei Lan with great joy, like a child, occasionally tilting his head back with a blissful expression, exclaiming, "So delicious! So delicious!"
