"Therefore, I feel that there's something strange about this matter," Xia Xiaoyu said seriously. She didn't mention the news and pictures she had seen online because she now understood that this situation was not simple.
Cao Youfeng's expression clearly faltered, and then a hint of intrigue appeared in his eyes as he asked, "Xia Xiaoyu, you don't really think there's something suspicious about their deaths, do you?"
"Why not? Is it impossible to think that way?" Xia Xiaoyu retorted.
"But... but..." Cao Youfeng completely dropped his joking demeanor and said, "But when Lan Ling died, the police personally went to the University to investigate. They found no suspicious items at the scene and no suspicious individuals had appeared. Even if there were a few people in the Dormitory Building at that time, they could all provide alibis. Besides, those girls wouldn't dare to commit murder and then stay in the Dormitory Building..."
"You Feng..." Xia Xiaoyu interrupted Cao Youfeng's explanation. The two of them locked eyes, and after a moment, Xia Xiaoyu gently asked Cao Youfeng, "Do you believe in ghosts?"
"Ah!"
Cao Youfeng's expression mirrored the shock he had felt when Xu Qian had said those words to him before.
"Xia Xiaoyu, are you suggesting that this incident wasn't caused by a human but rather..." Cao Youfeng was stunned for a long time before regaining his senses, still unable to fully believe what Xia Xiaoyu was implying.
"Yes. Actually, I've encountered many strange things. I'm not lying to you. During my time at the University, many bizarre events have occurred. Sometimes I feel like it's unreal. At first, I was just like you—completely skeptical about these things.
But now..." Xia Xiaoyu nodded at Cao Youfeng and said, "I have to believe that there are indeed things in this world that we have yet to encounter!"
"But... but..." Cao Youfeng still wasn't prepared to accept this entirely new information. However, seeing the determination on Xia Xiaoyu's face made him realize that she must be hiding many things from him.
Some things don't need to be asked too much. From Xia Xiaoyu's eyes, Cao Youfeng could tell that she was keeping quiet for her own good. There was no need for her to ask.
"I don't know much about the situation, but I heard that last weekend, Lan Ling felt dizzy and a bit disoriented. At that time, no one paid much attention to it. By Tuesday night, she hadn't changed much; she just felt increasingly heavy-headed. On Wednesday, she was alone in her dorm, took some medicine, but no one knew that she died in her bed. I heard that her eyes were wide open, as if she was terrified of something. She had also lost a lot of weight and changed drastically in just one morning. It's such a pity; she used to have great grades, but since her family is from the countryside, she didn't have many friends at the University."
"Does that mean it's possible?" Xia Xiaoyu murmured to herself and then looked at Cao Youfeng, asking, "Is that all? Is there anything else?"
"That's it. We aren't in the same dormitory, so I only heard these things!" Cao Youfeng thought for a moment and then quietly asked, "Xia Xiaoyu, you don't really think this is... the work of a ghost, do you?"
"What else can you think of?" Xia Xiaoyu appeared calm on the surface, but inside, she began to feel uneasy.
"Oh!" Cao Youfeng wasn't sure how to explain it to convince Xia Xiaoyu of this answer. Moreover, hearing about the death of the classmate Xia Xiaoyu mentioned made Cao Youfeng feel that something strange was going on.
"Well, look at how scared you are; it might not be anything at all. Besides, I've never seen the ghost people talk about." For some reason, whenever Xia Xiaoyu mentioned ghosts, she felt uncomfortable all over.
Xia Xiaoyu didn't know how to express herself. Indeed, although she had encountered many bizarre events related to what people called ghosts, she had never actually seen one.
"Xia Xiaoyu, do you think there's something abnormal about this? Are you planning to investigate? Come on, don't joke around. Even if there is something like what you mentioned..." Cao Youfeng didn't say the word 'ghost' but glanced at Xia Xiaoyu and continued, "This should be handled by the police. Why are you worrying about it? Just provide these clues to them and let them handle it!"
Cao Youfeng seemed to sense what was reflected in Xia Xiaoyu's eyes and couldn't help but say.
"San Feng, how can I say that my classmate's death is exactly like Lan Ling's cause of death at your University? And both happened on Wednesday; these aren't coincidences but rather something sinister at play?" Xia Xiaoyu shook her head and calmly said, "If I say this to the police, what will they do? They will think I'm crazy and kick me out!"
Cao Youfeng pondered for a long time before saying to Xia Xiaoyu, "But Xia Xiaoyu, have you considered that if this matter doesn't involve what you're talking about—if everything is natural or coincidental—that would be fine? However, if there really is something sinister going on behind the scenes, do you have confidence that you can uncover it? Do you think you can handle it?"
"I don't know?" Xia Xiaoyu was clearly a bit taken aback by Cao Youfeng's words, but she quickly looked at Cao Youfeng with determination and said, "However, this matter is definitely not that simple; there must be some hidden truth!"
