Chapter 243: Online Dating Scam (Part 6)

The wind from the back door rushed in even harder. The students' figures, reflected from outside, looked as small as ghosts. Only after they entered could they be distinguished as three human figures:
The only senior student, Sun Miao, another girl whose name cannot be remembered, and the unconscious Tang Xinjue.
Although they were prepared for the numerous traps that would be dug in the copy, the three of them still gasped when they saw Tang Xinjue's eyes closed, as if he had lost all signs of life.
Guo Guo subconsciously took out the pill and poured it into Tang Xinjue's mouth, but was stopped by Sun Miao.
Sun Miao said with the tone of someone who has experienced this: "It's useless. She just finished evening self-study. This is normal. It will probably be fine after a while."
"Evening study?"
606 remembered that Song Rong and Gao Wanwan also uttered these three words when they fled in panic.
"Don't make a fuss, you'll all be there soon..." Sun Miao raised a subtle smile. Before the smile could fully spread, it was interrupted: "--What are you doing?"
Zheng Wanqing quickly captured her and another girl and tied them up, leaving them no room to escape.
Zhang You supported Tang Xinjue and said calmly, "First of all, thank you very much for bringing our roommate back."
Sun Miao: ??? I don’t see any sign of gratitude from you guys.
"Secondly, since you guys helped send it back, why not explain the reason and the process all at once?"
Zhang You smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes:
"We still have many, many questions about this matter."
"The school contacted us to pick him up, and we brought him back. It's as simple as that. Not only did you not thank me, but you were also so irritable and reckless . Once you leave the ivory tower, how are you going to survive in society?"
Being "forced" to return to dormitory 606 again, Sun Miao felt much more uncomfortable, but he still tried hard to maintain the control position of the senior sister, trying to make the three people obedient.
"But none of our cell phones have any signal. How did the school contact you?"
Zhang You asked back with a sharp look.
Sun Miao: "...This is just that there is no signal from inside to outside. Of course, it will be different if the school contacts us."
"But you said Xin Jue went to the counselor's office to give a statement. Why did she suddenly go to evening study? Where did you pick her up from? The counselor's office or the study room? What did the school say?"
Sun Miao was silent for a few seconds. "We didn't see anything. When we arrived at the teaching building, the door was locked and she was already unconscious on the ground. Now it's almost dark and the infirmary is closed. Of course we can only bring her back first... What else can we do? Let her lie outside? Haha, if I had known that you would have such an attitude when I came back, I would not be a good person next time."
As for the issue of "evening self-study", under the three stares, the girl could only explain reluctantly. This is a new learning activity recently established by the school: a part of the randomly selected students must add 3 to 4 special evening self-study sessions to cultivate students' "life skills and learning literacy."
However, Sun Miao refused to talk about the specific content of the evening self-study class.
As Zhang You repeatedly pressed the issue, Sun Miao's speech became clearly confused, and he began to neurotically repeat sentences like "Everyone must attend", "Evening self-study is very useful", and "You'll know when you get there". His gaze went from forced calmness to daze, and he cast an unfocused glance behind the few people.
As for the other girl, she was trembling all over without even saying a word. Guo Guo just accidentally touched her, and the girl suddenly screamed, her limbs stiffened, and she fainted.
Guo Guo: "...Isn't it me who scared him? Could it be the Heart Sutra that scared him?"
She and Zheng Wanqing had just given Tang Xinjue a lot of medicine, but it really had no effect. Just when she wanted to help the person up and breathe, she almost killed another person.
Zhang You frowned and shook his head: "They shouldn't be pretending."
It seems that some key information is taboo and cannot be mentioned by these students.
But with their previous discovery in Dormitory 101, the keyword "evening self-study" was naturally linked to another thing.
"Several major incidents occurred in the school not long ago."
Zhang You slowly spoke: "According to the time, you should still be in school at that time, so you should be very clear..."
Sun Miao's eyes slowly widened as she spoke, as if he couldn't believe that she dared to say this.
Before the other person's teeth could chatter too quickly, Zhang You interrupted him:
"So, are you willing to talk about the evening study session again? If not, we can continue with the previous topic."
After a long silence, Sun Miao, whose eyes had regained some focus, looked at them for a while before finally speaking in a hoarse voice:
"Okay, I'll tell you. What's the content of the evening study session..."
Bang!
606 The window that was originally blocked suddenly exploded!
Shards of glass mixed with the cold wind blew in. 606 immediately protected Tang Xin Jue behind him, but Sun Miao and the others didn't react so quickly. The sharp fragments quickly cut countless bloody marks on their bodies.
“Eeeee, eeeeee!”
The two seemed to feel no pain. The other girl even laughed foolishly, crawling towards the window against the wind. To prevent her from escaping, her hands were tied together with Sun Miao's, and this movement caused Sun Miao's body to be dragged and slid out the window.
Zheng Wanqing was quick to grab, but still missed - the space that was clearly close to them seemed to be invisibly split by the cold wind: visually, the two girls had only crawled one step, but the next second their figures were already outside the window, slowly turning their heads and smiling at them.
Zheng Wanqing cursed, and a skill card flew out faster than her iron fist, turning into two thick, mottled black chains that hooked onto the two staggering people.
[One-time soul-enticing lock: retains the soul but not the person, only entices the destined person]
Perhaps it was due to the matching skill characteristics, but Sun Miao and the other person were actually pinned outside the window. Zhang You pulled the chain back, and just as they were about to be pulled into the house, Guo Guo suddenly made a sound and grabbed Zhang You's hand.
"Don't let them in!!"
The empty window with the cold wind blowing in the eyes of others, reflected in Guo Guo's eyes, quietly transformed into a different scene:
Pale hands silently climbed up the ankles of Sun Miao and the other girl, and the round heads rolled up along their torsos, clinging to the girls' bodies and trying to squeeze into the window!
Although he didn't see anything, Zhang You loosened his hands as soon as he heard the sound. The bodies of Sun Miao and the other man floated down like reeds and completely disappeared outside the window.
The wind stopped.
It was as if nothing had happened, the windows were still locked tightly, there were no holes and no bloody debris on the ground.
"What now?"
Zheng Wanqing stood by the window. There was no body outside. She turned around and saw Guo Guo also shaking his head: "Gone."
The image captured by the Yin-Yang Eyes flashed by, and the world returned to normal at that moment. Even the lingering chill in the air quickly faded, leaving only the stack of complaint forms in his hand, which still had a slight chill.
Zhang You frowned and said after a moment: "Let's go back to 101."
The most important thing now is to grasp the key clues.
"hiss……"
There was a sudden sound from the bed behind him, and Tang Xinjue's eyelids trembled slightly, showing signs of waking up.
"Heart Sutra!" Guo Guo rushed over and helped the man up. He saw that his eyes had opened a little, and his mouth opened and closed weakly:
"Water, give me some water..."
After drinking a few sips of water, Tang Xinjue finally regained some strength. He propped himself up and asked, " What ? How did I..."
The three looked at her worriedly: "You don't remember anything?"
Tang Xinjue shook his head: "I can't remember."
From her own account, we can know that her only memory is the "first time" she opened her eyes, which is now.
As for being called by the school to take a statement or what happened during evening self-study, she had no recollection of it at all.
Zhang You handed over her complaint form:
"This is your character in the dungeon."
The girl took a look and smiled: "You cheated the scammer out of his money? Is this how I am in the eyes of the Education Bureau? Tsk... Is there anything to eat?"
She pursed her dry lips and put the form aside: "It doesn't matter. Now that I'm back, the four of us will act together. I will find out the truth."
Watching Tang Xinjue devouring his food, Zhang You suddenly said, "Maybe we can look at the toilet plunger."
"Memories can be erased, but as long as there has been a battle, the marks left on the toilet plunger will not lie."
