Everyone was astonished by Bei Quan’s words.
They were going to be rescued soon, but suddenly their savior revealed that one of them was already dead? Could things get any more terrifying?
AD
“Don’t worry.”
Bei Quan shook his fingers at the four students.
“Before we leave, let’s review your experiences in these past few days.”
The four students were so bewildered that they couldn’t even nod.
“The eight of you arrived in Xuanmen village on May 31st, right?”
Seeing the monitor Pan Xiaoyun nod in a daze, Bei Quan continued,
“The root of all these problems is the night you first stayed in that deserted village.”
Wei Fuyuan touched his chin, “What I saw from Dong Chaoyang’s memory was that when he was pushed down the dry well by Mr. Song Qi, the village still looked abandoned….So, did Dong Chaoyang die before the beginning of the loop?”
“That’s right.” Bei Quan smiled and nodded, “Dong Chaoyang fell into the dry well. His deep-rooted grudge and resentment awakened the little childe who died in a similar manner. The energy of the two wronged souls superimposed on each other, and gave birth to the creation of this fragmented space.”
He held up a finger.
“So, when you entered the first day of the cycle, that is, June 1, Julie was the only one who died here.”
Pan Xiaoyun gave a dull “Oh”.
“Damn, it turned out to be like this…”
He thought carefully, “The first day… We were all inexperienced and scared to death… When we noticed that there were fewer people, we found out that Chaoyang and Julie disappeared…”
Bei Quan smiled.
“Hence, you naturally thought that they had disappeared on the first day.”
Pan Xiaoyun realized why this supernatural expert had repeatedly asked them to confirm whether they saw everyone in the room when they woke up on the first day.
“Oh!”
He gave himself a hard knock on the head, “It was really chaotic that morning, and I was terribly scared. I didn’t even notice the inconsistency of the people in the room- uh!”
At this point, Pan Xiaoyun’s voice suddenly stopped.
He widened his eyes, like a rusty robot that was malfunctioning he paused and turned his head slowly.
“Luosen…”
Pan Xiaoyun’s voice stammered, “You- you didn’t say… say…”
Wei Fuyuan also looked at Luosen.
Previously when Bei Quan asked them, ‘Including yourself and the three who have disappeared till now, were they all in the room at that time?’, how had Luosen answered?
——He said, “There should be four people. I saw everyone.”
“Obbxr ilxf sbe’nf jii oluegfv la bea.”

Lf rtbbx atgff olcufgr, “Pc atlr kjs, atf atgff mbcrfmealnf vjsr jgf lc ilcf klat atf ijk bo ibrlcu bcf qfgrbc j vjs, gluta?”
Pan Xiaoyun, Liu Lingling, and Huang Lan all moved aside involuntarily to keep themselves as far away from Luosen as possible.
Only Luosen did not move, his face as white as paper.
Bei Quan looked at the two girls again,
“On June 4, that is, yesterday, you two almost had an accident. Fortunately, the jade bracelet saved your life.”
The two girls nodded nervously.
“But is that actually what happened?”
Bei Quan asked, “You two escaped a disaster, which means that everyone can spend that day safely?”
With Bei Quan’s words, everyone focused on Luosen.
Luosen took a step back.
“Why… why are all of you… looking at me?”
“Your neck!!”
Pan Xiaoyun was out of tune. “Yo-ur neck! Your neck!”
Luosen looked confused and raised his hand to touch his neck.
Then, he looked at the blood red on his fingertips, his lips trembled. He slowly raised his head, looked around blankly, and glanced at everyone face, “What is this?”
He asked, “I… what’s the matter with me?”
Pan Xiaoyun was almost crying. He screamed, “You’re going to loose your head and ask what happened!!?”
“My…head?”
This time, Luosen touched his neck with both hands at the same time.
It felt moist and warm, and the gurgling blood flowed down his neck in thin rivulets. Soon, the front of his clothes was dyed red and then it dripped on the ground, gathering a large pool of blood between his feet.
He bowed his head and saw a big hole in his neck reflected in the pool of blood.
Pictures that he had forcefully forgotten started to flash through Luosen’s mind rapidly, like the scenes of a film.
“No… no!!!”
Luosen was terrified.
Yesterday evening, he just took an empty mineral water bottle and peed in the yard!
But in the picture in his mind, he ’saw’ a hand stretching out from the puddle of water at the root of a small tree and pulling his trouser leg.
He struggled desperately and managed to break free.
But that hand wouldn’t let him go.
Wherever water existed, even the water from the eaves or even his urine, a ghost would always extend it’s hand out to take him to a place that had nothing to do with this world.
Luosen was so scared that he shouted, “You’re looking at the wrong person!” and ran to the house in a panic.
Because he ran too fast, Luosen tripped on the threshold and fell straight onto a mud puddle.
When he hurriedly turned over and tried to get up, a sickle hanging by the door fell without warning——
In his final moments, Luosen saw the blade flash across his eyes like a meteor and fall straight on his neck.
…… ……
……
“No, no…”
Luosen covered his neck, trying to stop the blood gushing from the wound.
“I won’t die!”
His voice trembled in fear and disbelief.
“How could I die?! How could I die!?!”
Luosen shouted hysterically:
“Everyone else can die, but not me! It can’t be me!!”
“Because- ”
He raised his head, his eyes wide open, his eyeballs almost rolling out of his eye sockets, and his eyes were glowing with madness, “Because- it’s my wish!”
“Very good.”
Bei Quan held a sneer on his lips, “You’ve finally figured it out.”
He turned his eyes slightly over to Luosen and looked at the faint gray shadow behind him.
The Hui Gui they had been looking for, finally appeared.
“What the hell is going on?”
Wei Fuyuan had sprayed cow tears before entering the fragmented space. Right now, there was still some time left before it lost its effect. Naturally, he could see the Hui Gui behind Luosen.
But this plot twist was beyond his expectation.
Previously when Bei Quan reminded them that Luosen was dead, the simple-minded Young Master Wei did not doubt that these students were mixed with dead people, and that they were still the objects of a ghost possession.
“It’s very simple.”
Bei Quan explained to his assistant, “Although the fragmented space was built by Dong Chaoyang and the rich child, it was not them who killed these teachers and students.”
He smiled and gave Wei Fuyuan a hint.
“Do you remember I once told you that as long as you have killed people, you will carry karma? However, it is almost impossible for souls who have killed others to enter reincarnation, so it is usually difficult to transcend.”
“Oh!”
Wei Fuyuan patted his forehead and suddenly figured out the crux of the matter.
He reached out to touch the woven bracelet and Qinghai jade chain pendant in his pocket.
“You took back the souls of Dong Chaoyang and the little child. You’re going to help them enter the reincarnation cycle, aren’t you?”
Wei Fuyuan glanced at Bei Quan.
“If you can still save them, it proves that they have not harmed a single human life. Am I right?”
Bei Quan smiled.
“The little child has been dead for more than a 100 years, and all his enemies have long been buried. His resentment had nothing to do with these teachers and students. Naturally, there was no reason to pester them.”
He added with a smile, “As for Dong Chaoyang, he had a valid reason to seek revenge from Song Qi, but…”
Bei Quan raised his hand and pointed to Luosen who was covering his neck.
“If my guess is correct, although it was Song Qi who pushed him down someone else threw a stone that instantly killed him.”
Wei Fuyuan: “!”
He was astonished.
However, when Wei Fuyuan recalled it carefully. Just now, in Dong Chaoyang’s memory, he only saw someone throw a big stone from the wellhead that smashed ‘himself’ in the head, but it was too dark at that time. He couldn’t see the other’s face at all!
“Even though I may have guessed the probable cause and effect, I still haven’t figured out just how much hatred Luosen held against his teacher and classmates, so much so he couldn’t wait to kill them all.”
Bei Quan spread his hand in the direction of Luosen.
“In fact, I want to know what’s going on in this guy’s mind.”
The next second, he shot as fast as lightning. Taking advantage of Wei Fuyuan being unprepared, he tapped on the back of his assistant’s head.
“So kindly go and have a look for me, will you?”
——Fuck!!!
Wei Fuyuan only had time to cook up a cuss in his heart as his soul flew out again.
