Due to lying down, it’s not very clear, and Ruan Qing was also somewhat uncertain, but the feeling was about right.
Players wouldn’t deliberately hide themselves when they entered the instance.
After all, they didn’t need to maintain a persona like he did. Even if there were actions different from the aboriginal people in the instance, the system would blur out these anomalies.
Just as Lin Anhan was about to speak again while looking at the person sitting, the mobile phone in the pile of miscellaneous items rang again.
“Ding ling ling! Ding ling ling!” The sound even seemed a bit eerie, attracting the attention of the three.
Lin Anhan glanced at the pile of miscellaneous items. “Is it your phone?”
Ruan Qing paused for a moment, shaking his head slightly.
The three originally thought it was Ruan Qing’s phone, but he unexpectedly shook his head.
The three looked into the pile of miscellaneous items, all a bit puzzled.
Firstly, the rooftop of Hengming University was usually locked unless one had a key. Secondly, under normal circumstances, even if a phone was dropped, it shouldn’t end up in a pile of miscellaneous items.
The phone was under that broken chair.
It obviously couldn’t have been accidentally dropped; it looked more like someone deliberately threw it into the pile.
Lin Anhan frowned at the pile of miscellaneous items. Chi Yifan immediately walked over and picked up the phone.
Chi Yifan picked up the phone. And it wasn’t a call, just an alarm.
The phone was clearly on silent mode, but even in silent mode, alarms still sound.
Chi Yifan turned off the alarm, and the phone screen showed its interface.
There were quite a few missed calls.
The phone had a password lock, so it couldn’t be opened directly. He could see calls and messages on the lock screen.
Chi Yifan clicked on those notifications and scrolled through. Ruan Qing din’t know what the other saw, but the next second, his eyes widened.
He looked up at the others and stuttered, “It’s, it’s just... the phone of that student who jumped off the building a moment ago.”
The people present immediately understood why Chi Yifan reacted like this.
Something’s wrong, very wrong.
The results of the police investigation just now indicated that the male student’s suicide attempt was triggered by both family and personal struggles.
However, there’s a discrepancy. The side where the male student jumped off the building was on the left, but we were on the right.
For someone contemplating suicide, even if they wanted to throw their phone, they wouldn’t deliberately come over here to do so.
So, who threw the phone?
The people present exchanged shocked glances, and a dreadful thought crossed their minds.
Did the male student really jump off the building?
Chi Yifan held the phone, swallowed hard, and said, “Speaking of which, there’s something I’ve been concerned about...”
Everyone looked at him, including Ruan Qing, sitting on the ground.
Chi Yifan slowly continued, “It was about two days ago, just after the afternoon class.”
“Ning Mufeng passed by our physics building downstairs, and this male student was upstairs dealing with some flower pots.”
“I don’t know if it was accidental or intentional, but when Ning Mufeng walked by, he knocked off some dirt, and it happened to fall on Ning Mufeng downstairs.”
Ruan Qing remembered this scene because it was after the afternoon rain. Ning Mufeng had just finished class and was about to leave, but he got dirty from the falling dirt.
The male student apologized immediately upon seeing this.
Ning Mufeng even smiled faintly at the student upstairs, seemingly unfazed.
But apparently, while Ning Mufeng didn’t mind, someone else did.
“The student who fell down the stairs and died earlier, Ning Mufeng saved him once,” Chi Yifan continued.
“I distinctly remember three days ago, at the entrance of the cafeteria.”
“There are steps at the entrance of the third cafeteria.”
At that time, the student probably didn’t notice the steps, stepped into the air, and Ning Mufeng, who was beside him, instinctively pulled him back, preventing him from falling.
Chi Yifan continued, “Then he... fell down the stairs and died. The police investigation said it was just an accident.”
“And the student who died of a sudden illness, I saw her before. She accidentally sat in Ning Mufeng’s exclusive seat at the library.”
“Then, during class, she just died in her seat.”
“The police also said it was just an accident.”
“And, he...” Chi Yifan glanced at Ruan Qing sitting on the ground. A hint of fear even appeared in his eyes.
“He stole Ning Mufeng’s performance, and as a result, the chandelier that hadn’t had any issues for over a decade...”
Chi Yifan didn’t continue, but those present didn’t need him to elaborate.
The chandelier that had been incident-free for over a decade came crashing down.
If it wasn’t for the male classmate in the front row who pushed him, Wang Qing might have also ‘accidentally died’ like those other students.
But with so many accidents, was it really just a coincidence?
Although there’s no evidence, those present felt it’s not just a simple accident.
It’s highly likely that these people all died by homicide.
And the cause of death may simply be because of their association with Ning Mufeng.
Ning Mufeng exuded a captivating charm, despite his gentle and indifferent demeanor. Approachable as he was, he gave off an aura of an otherworldly being banished to the mortal realm, untouched and pure.
It made people unable to resist him.
Some of those who admired him might harbor a twisted fascination, a notion not entirely out of the realm of possibility.
But to directly kill someone with just a slight interaction with Ning Mufeng...
Just thinking about it sent shivers down one’s spine.
Chi Yifan looked at the horrified faces of those present, gritted his teeth, and voiced everyone’s doubts. “This is too coincidental.”
“Are these really... just accidents?”
Ruan Qing’s delicate face turned pale directly, and his body trembled slightly, looking extremely frightened.
After all, the culprit might not spare him either.
Anyone under the threat of death like this would find it impossible to stay calm.
Although Ruan Qing appeared scared, in reality, he was contemplating the possibility that the two in front of him were the culprit.
The biggest question was why these people were here?
It’s normal for players to be here, but the other two being here were somewhat abnormal.
This was the scene of the student’s suicide by jumping off the building; ordinarily, people wouldn’t come here.
Unless... they were the culprit trying to erase their own traces.
Moreover, he just heard the sound of an argument a moment ago. Clearly, someone was quarreling. However, looking at the three of them now, it didn’t seem like they had been quarreling at all.
What were they hiding?
Although both of them were acting as if they had no knowledge of the culprit, who could be sure they’re not pretending?
Especially this vice president, Chi Yifan.
Ruan Qing felt that his suspicion was greater than the other two.
Even though Chi Yifan’s words just now hinted that this might not be an accident, they also revealed a crucial piece of information.
That was, when those people died after coming into contact with Ning Mufeng, he was also present.
And since the culprit knew these details, it naturally indicated that they were also present.
