Early the next morning, Xia Xiaoyu was awakened by a phone call from Zifeng. Although she felt a bit annoyed at the person calling her so early, Xia Xiaoyu had no choice; after all, she had to consider whose favor she needed to ask for help.
"Hello, did you discover something again?"
Xia Xiaoyu said through the phone, her eyes half-open and still drowsy.
"Yeah, you need to come to my house quickly."
Zifeng's voice remained calm, without much fluctuation.
"What's going on?"
Xia Xiaoyu was a bit surprised now.
"Don't ask too much, just hurry over."
After saying that, Zifeng hung up the phone.
"What kind of attitude is that..."
Hearing the dial tone, Xia Xiaoyu muttered to herself. Reluctant as she was, she knew that in order to handle this matter quickly, she had to get up early and wash up briefly.
"Chen Mumu, remember to check that for me as soon as possible."
While grabbing her handbag, Xia Xiaoyu said to Chen Mumu, who had just opened her eyes.
"Yeah, Xiaoyu, what time is it? Where are you going?" Chen Mumu seemed still not fully awake, her voice unclear.
"It's a little past seven. I have something to do, so please hurry."
After saying this, Xia Xiaoyu walked out of the dormitory.
In the early morning, the air was still very refreshing, especially within the school. The pure spring breeze in the morning felt quite cool. Although the sky was already bright, there seemed to be very few people at Hong Ying University; everyone was probably still lounging in their beds.
Outside the suburbs, Hong Ying University was not in the city center, so hailing a taxi in the morning became a hassle. Xia Xiaoyu waited on the road outside the school for over ten minutes before finally getting a ride.
By the time she slowly made her way to Zifeng's place, it was almost nine o'clock.
Upon entering the living room, she was surprised to see Xu Qian also at Zifeng's house, sitting on the sofa with a relaxed demeanor.
"Why did you take so long to get here?" Zifeng raised an eyebrow and said flatly when he saw Xia Xiaoyu walk in.
"Uh..."
Xia Xiaoyu was at a loss for words. After glancing at Zifeng, she fell silent again.
"What happened?"
Sensing a hint of tension in the air, Xia Xiaoyu placed her bag on the sofa and sat down, becoming serious.
"It's a bit troublesome..." Zifeng only uttered four words, but from his expression, Xia Xiaoyu could tell that it really seemed to be a problem.
"What happened?"
Xia Xiaoyu's expression grew even more serious.
After she asked this question, Zifeng remained silent while Xu Qian took over the conversation.
"Xia Xiaoyu, this matter is indeed troublesome. I spent most of last night with A Feng lurking around your University, but we didn't find anything..." Xu Qian looked somewhat fatigued, perhaps due to insomnia from last night.
"This way of searching won't yield results..."
After taking a deep breath, Zifeng continued, "That thing is too cunning... It hides away at the slightest hint of movement. Its strength isn't great, but being so timid makes it impossible to find the reason."
"The death of Lin Xi at University is completely different from the deaths of those boys. Why is that?"
Instead of addressing Zifeng's concerns, Xia Xiaoyu pressed on with her question.
"I checked and found that there are two different sources of resentment at your University..." Zifeng said, raising his head to look directly at Xia Xiaoyu. He added, "In other words, there are two ghosts killing at your University, and the one that wants to harm you has always been just one of them."
A chill ran down Xia Xiaoyu's back, but she quickly countered, "So what should you do now?"
"I will continue to investigate..."
A glimmer of determination flashed in Zifeng's eyes, a cold light passing through them.
"Okay then..."
As she finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire hall fell silent once again.
