Watching Wen Shishi leave, Su Jin'er sighed. It seemed that the girl still hadn't forgotten Li Ran; what a terrible love triangle! But what on earth had happened to Li Yiqing that caused such a drastic change in her personality, leading her to willingly give her boyfriend to someone else and ultimately take her own life? And was it really suicide? What about the other girls who had died? A series of questions left her feeling dizzy, and she vaguely sensed that these matters were connected to everyone except Li Yiqian.
"I think our current task is to find out the reason behind Li Yiqing's personality change. I wonder if she had a habit of keeping a diary," Chu Feifan said.
"Let's all head back to our dorms first! We should check if Xiaonan and Qian Qian are back. I have so many questions to ask her!"
"It's getting dark; let's go eat first! We can head back after dinner. I'm so hungry," Zuo Yi said, patting his stomach.
No one disagreed, and the group went to the cafeteria together. On the way, they ran into Xu Lingling, whom they hadn't seen in a long time. She no longer clung to Chu Feifan every day and was dressed up flamboyantly, making it hard to believe she was the same girl who had screamed in fright during military training when a branch scratched her. What could have caused her to change?
"Hi! Long time no see," Xu Lingling greeted them with a smile.
Before anyone could respond, Zuo Yi scoffed and shot her a disdainful glance. "Now I truly understand what it means to be stunningly beautiful; Linyuan, it seems like winter hasn't quite passed yet!"
"I'm feeling cold even in this thick outfit! Maybe it's because of how much makeup she's wearing; she doesn't feel the cold!" Linyuan said while hugging her shoulders tightly and chuckling to herself.
"You guys..." Xu Lingling's face turned green with anger as she stomped her foot and turned to leave.
"Why do you have to target her?" Su Jin'er laughed helplessly.
"Look at her; even from this far away, I can still smell that scent," she said while fanning her nose.
"Xiaoyuan, your words are getting more and more excessive! She hasn't done anything wrong!"
"Hmph! I just dislike her!"
Su Jin'er looked at her helplessly. It was precisely because Linyuan liked what she liked and disliked what she disliked that they had become good friends; she couldn't stand pretentious people.
Linyuan suddenly jumped next to Chu Feifan and poked him in the stomach with her elbow, saying, "I say, Young Master Chu, why are you still following us? Shouldn't you be with your heartbroken Senior Sister?"
"I'll eat with you first, then I'll go find her."
"Are you eating with us, or are you going to be with one of us? Do you like that Decisive Senior Sister? Come on, admit it," Linyuan teased with a grin.
"Don't talk nonsense. How could I possibly like a girl so much older than me? Linyuan, stop it."
"Haha! That Senior Sister seems to really like you too. Don't let her down."
"Linyuan, if you keep saying things like that, I won't ask her anything anymore." Chu Feifan was a bit anxious; he didn't want to leave a bad impression on Su Jin'er!
"Alright, Xiaoyuan, you've been talking a bit too much today!"
Linyuan pouted and made a sealing gesture, looking at Chu Feifan with a smile.
At that moment, Chu Feifan's phone suddenly rang. "Hello!"
"Chu Feifan, have you forgotten what you promised me? Come on! Let's go eat."
Chu Feifan turned around to see Wen Shishi smiling behind them. He smiled back at her and then said goodbye to Su Jin'er and the others. At that moment, Su Jin'er's heart felt as if it had been clawed by a cat.
Love often appears unexpectedly; her sudden intrusion disrupted our lives and left us feeling desperate when we least expected it.
When they returned to the dormitory, Li Yiqian and the others were already back. Seeing Du Xiaonan quietly sleeping on the bed, Su Jin'er felt relieved as she sat on the bed.
"How are you? Have you found any clues?" Li Yiqian asked, looking at the exhausted Su Jin'er.
"We found Zhang Yang's body."
"Really? Wasn't he captured? How could he be dead? Where is his body?"
"Qian Qian, are you hiding something from us?" Linyuan looked at Li Yiqian, confused as to why she always doubted them.
"No, I’m not! How could I hide anything from you?" Li Yiqian's voice trembled, her gaze flickering.
"You’re lying. Let me ask you, is Li Ran your sister's boyfriend?"
"Yes, didn’t you all know that?"
"But it’s not just that simple!"
"Right, he is my sister's fiancé; they have an arranged marriage."
"Why didn’t you tell us back then? Also, do you know why your sister's personality suddenly changed?" Linyuan continued to question.
"No, I don’t know. She has always been at school, and I was just a middle school student back then."
"No, you should know, and very well. Your sister has a habit of keeping a diary, and her diary is in your possession. You not only know the reason for her personality change but also clearly understand why she was killed," Su Jin'er suddenly said.
"Do you have any evidence? Don’t make baseless accusations without proof."
"Is that so? Well! I admit, these are just my guesses. If what I'm saying is all false, then why are you so nervous?"
"I'm not nervous, Jin'er. What's wrong with you? I'm your sister, and I'm your mother's goddaughter."
"Sister? Yes, I see you as a sister, but what do you see me as, a fool or an idiot?" Her voice trembled as tears streamed down her face.
"Jin'er, please let me explain," Li Yiqian said while holding her shoulders.
"Jin'er, what's wrong? I thought Qian Qian was just hiding some things from us. What are you talking about?" Linyuan looked at Su Jin'er anxiously, completely confused about the situation.
"Fine! I'll listen to your explanation, but please explain everything to me."
"Zhang Junsheng knows about my sister. I asked him to tell me, but he wanted me to steal your underwear as a condition for exchange. So I stole your clothes; you already know that. The information he told me wasn't just about my sister's body going missing; he also said my sister was raped while she was alive. I felt this tarnished my sister's reputation, so I didn't say anything. As for the diary you mentioned, I don't have it at all. When I sorted through her belongings, her diary was already missing. Jin'er, please believe me; I'm not lying to you," Li Yiqian cried.
"I hope everything you said is true. I hope you won't disappoint me again and that you'll tell me everything you know."
"I will!"
"What about Xiaonan's situation?"
"The psychologist said she might be having the same dream repeatedly because her brain was stimulated by being scared. But he also mentioned that some psychologists are skilled enough to control people's thoughts and make them have the same dream over and over again, just like Zhang Yang can hypnotize people and erase their memories."
"Can he do that?"
"He can! He said this is something every psychologist should be able to do because some patients are unwilling to accept treatment or unwilling to share their conditions. The doctor will use this hypnosis method to treat them."
Su Jin'er nodded and then said, "Are you going to summon a spirit?"
"Summon a spirit? What do you mean?" Li Yiqian asked in surprise.
"It means playing with a Ouija Board. We want you to bring your sister's spirit here so we can ask her why she committed suicide," Linyuan said.
Li Yiqian, feeling somewhat agitated, replied, "Aren't you the ones who don't believe in demons? Besides, the Ouija Board game is dangerous. I've never tried it and don't know if it's real or not, so..."
"I don't believe in it either, but some things can't be explained by science, so I want to give it a try."
Li Yiqian lowered her head, and the atmosphere became somewhat oppressive. Everyone's breathing grew a bit hurried. The Ouija Board game indeed had its dangers; they had heard stories about the consequences of playing with it. However, those were just hearsay, not something they had witnessed themselves.
Many things aren't as strange or terrifying as they seem, but when stories are passed from one person to another, each adding their own embellishments, events become mythologized and increasingly bizarre.
After a while, Li Yiqian raised her head and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try! Do you know the rules of the Ouija Board?"
Su Jin'er and Linyuan both shook their heads.
"When we use the Ouija Board, each of us places our right index finger on the planchette. During the process, no one's finger can leave the planchette, and we can't talk randomly. If we manage to summon a spirit, we must send it away before we finish; otherwise, we could die."
The last word "die" was emphasized by Li Yiqian, causing Linyuan to shiver involuntarily.
They nodded again, their hearts racing. Everyone knew the possible consequences of failing at this game. However, if they could succeed, finding out who the killer was would become much easier.
Li Yiqian took out a piece of paper and wrote "Yes" and "No" on it. Then she took out a small plate and gathered all the candles from their dorm room. They arranged the candles in a circle in the center of the room and lit them all. Once Su Jin'er and Linyuan were seated properly, Li Yiqian turned off the lights and sat down with them. The three exchanged glances before simultaneously placing their fingers on the planchette.
The candle cast flickering shadows on the walls of the room, and the temperature seemed to drop suddenly, making the air feel stifling and difficult to breathe.
The three of them looked at each other and nodded, closing their eyes.
"Ouija Board, Ouija Board, please show yourself! We have some questions we would like to ask you," Li Yiqian's voice came softly, like a ghost in the dark night.
The room fell silent, with only the occasional sound of the candles burning.
"Ouija Board, Ouija Board, please show yourself! We have some questions we would like to ask you," Li Yiqian said again.
At that moment, all the candle flames suddenly flared up, but with their eyes closed, they did not see it.
The planchette under their fingers suddenly moved, causing them to hurriedly open their eyes. Su Jin'er looked at Li Yiqian with a questioning gaze, asking if the Ouija Board had been summoned.
Li Yiqian nodded.
