In a way, this was indeed her own corpse.

There was a lot of blood; it seemed she had suffered extensive injuries before dying.

Yue Nu stared at the figure lying in a pool of blood. Its face, identical to her own, looked somewhat chilling in the darkness of the night.

Without hesitation, Yue Nu swiftly stepped inside. She strode past the corpse on the ground—the one with a face identical to her own—reached the window, and felt inside a crevice in the radiator.

She only sighed in relief when her hand touched the slightly warm phone.

It's still here… good…

Relieved, she pulled the phone from the crevice.

The lights in their classroom were still on. Leaving them on all night would naturally arouse suspicion, but her puppet could turn off the classroom lights and then turn them back on when everyone else had gone to sleep. That way, she wouldn't be discovered.

Yue Nu looked down at the phone in her hand. They had left here at 8:00 PM, and now it was 12:30 AM—a full four and a half hours had passed. The phone had recorded several hours of video. Fortunately, the battery was sufficient.

Yue Nu didn't plan to linger here. Although ghosts usually didn't return to a place after killing someone, she felt this place was enveloped in a viscous, suffocating terror.

The overhead light was still burning brightly. Yue Nu looked down at her phone and opened the recording. Soon, I'll know the identity of a ghost…

Because she had placed it here at noon, the recording was twelve hours long. Her face was the first thing that appeared on screen. The video showed her carefully handling the phone and tucking it behind the radiator. No need to watch the beginning.

Yue Nu quickly swiped the progress bar at the bottom of the phone, dragging it directly to the last hour.

23:35: The puppet was still alive. She continued to fast-forward.

23:47: Still alive.

00:26: Only a fake corpse and a fresh pool of blood remained on the ground.

At 12:26 AM, her puppet was dead.

In the video, the classroom door had just closed with a soft CLICK. Yue Nu then saw the closed door pushed open a crack, and a figure flashed through the gap. This person is…

She paused for a moment, then dragged the progress bar back a few minutes, her eyes glued to the phone screen, not daring to blink. Now, the puppet that looked just like her was still sitting in the classroom. The door behind it was closed; nothing had happened yet. But after a few seconds, the shut door was suddenly pushed open a crack. A pair of hands appeared on the screen. Yue Nu watched, eyes wide. As the door slowly opened, the owner of the hands came into view. She stared intently at the figure that appeared from behind the door on the screen. It's… 007? She's the ghost?

Yue Nu found this somewhat incredible. If she were to categorize the people in this instance, 007 would definitely be in the 'least likely to be the ghost' category. This was because 007's behavior and actions had always been perfect, showing no signs of her being a ghost. But the subsequent footage forced Yue Nu to accept this fact.

In the video, 007 quickly drew a knife and, expressionless, viciously stabbed the puppet, which had its back to her. She clearly understood the importance of ensuring the kill. Even after the puppet had fallen and lay motionless, she stabbed it several more times. This was why the puppet had bled so much.

Yue Nu looked at the puppet on the ground, and her hair stood on end. She didn't quite understand. 007 always acted perfectly in front of me, not at all like a ghost. But tonight, she killed so easily, as if she didn't care at all about her identity being exposed… I need to watch it again…

As Yue Nu mulled this over, she prepared to rewind the video. She looked down at the phone screen and placed her finger on the progress bar. While she had been momentarily lost in thought, the video had played on for a few minutes. The current scene in the recording showed her, Yue Nu herself, pushing open the classroom door to retrieve the phone. Yue Nu intended to drag the progress bar. Just then, her gaze inadvertently fell upon the image on the screen, and her breath caught sharply—someone was behind her.

In the video, when she pushed the door open, there was someone right behind her. Then, this figure was blocked from view by her own body as she hastily retrieved the phone. Yue Nu's scalp prickled as she stared at the phone screen. The progress bar continued to advance. She saw herself walking towards the phone, then bending down towards the camera's view.

Then, a pair of blood-red eyes appeared in the middle of the screen.

The sour, damp smell still permeated the school's underground area.

A familiar voice sounded from behind, "You guys…"

Gu Mian turned around in the nauseating stench and saw someone standing behind them.

"Keke!" Guo Jimei eagerly stepped forward and grabbed Keke's hand. "We're so glad to run into someone! Being here by ourselves was getting really scary."

Gu Mian looked at Keke, who had suddenly appeared behind them. "How did you come from that way? We just came from there and didn't see you."

Keke pointed to a nearby room. "I was hiding in that room. You just passed by its door. I felt that standing in the corridor seemed like something might come from either side, so I hid inside…"

Li Yibai looked at Keke with a strange expression. "Hey, where did you run off to? I was talking to you, and then suddenly you were gone."

In the musty corridor, Keke gently shook her head. "I don't know. I was just walking along when I suddenly realized you weren't there anymore. I got scared, so after walking a little further, I hid in a room."

"I see," Li Yibai nodded thoughtfully. "Then did you see Lin Qi?"

Guo Jimei looked at him. "You really do ask everyone you meet if they've seen Lin Qi."

Keke shook her head. "I didn't see Lin Qi, but I did see…"

"Saw what?" Li Yibai asked mechanically.

Keke frowned. "I saw Chu… Meiren Chu. I saw him pass by the room I was in, seemingly looking for something. He struck me as a bit odd, so I didn't dare come out."

Keke also saw Chu Changge looking for something? Gu Mian stroked his chin, thinking.

She continued, "Apart from Meiren Chu, I didn't see anyone else. By the way, do you know if anyone died tonight?"
