The true heiress felt a pang of heartache, and the crazed villains panicked.

Chapter 78 What kind of weirdo likes to grab people's butts?

"Another suicide attempt?" Si Xing sat up abruptly.

Lu Xiang's brows furrowed: "Another act of assault."

Qin Ziheng nodded: "Yes, and after that, one after another people jumped off the building, and they were all from the same class."

"There were only 38 students in that class, but in the end, only two survived. The rest of them seemed to have made a pact to commit suicide by jumping off their dorm rooms."

"You said the female student jumped off the building because she was assaulted, then why are all the dead students?" Lu Xiang had a bad feeling and looked at Lin Sui, who was just listening quietly without any sign of anything amiss.

"I only heard about this from others after that," Qin Ziheng said with difficulty. "My friend and I thought it was because she was under too much pressure due to the upcoming college entrance examination, and we also suspected that the class was cursed."

Of the thirty-eight students, thirty-six committed suicide by jumping off buildings one after another. Even now, he is still filled with fear when he thinks about it.

If it weren't for the generous school subsidies and the fact that no fatal incidents have occurred since then, he definitely would never have come back in his life.

[Oh my god, this is really scary! I'm too scared to even go to the bathroom. I'll just have to make do with my son's diapers.]

[I have a question. If the entire class had really jumped off a building, it would have caused a huge sensation in society, especially since only five years have passed. Logically, a news search should be able to find it, so why can't I find any information about it?]

What baffles me most is that, even in this state, the school is still able to operate. Are the parents or the children incredibly reckless to dare to send their children to such a terrifying school?

As a current student at this school, I feel I should share my experience. There have indeed been rumors about ghosts circulating on campus, but... we've all just treated them as typical school ghost stories.

As someone who also experienced it firsthand, I feel I should say this: no matter how much a fuss was made, it wouldn't get out of reach. Maybe the school's connections were too strong ╮(╯▽╰)╭

[Hmm? Sounds similar to the situation in Lotus Village? Based on my years of experience reading novels, it's a conspiracy, there's definitely a conspiracy involved.]

“That dormitory building was originally only for senior high school students. After the suicide, the school was afraid of making a big fuss and affecting our college entrance examination, so they made us move out.”

Qin Ziheng continued, "Until the college entrance examination was over and the new students arrived in September, the school thought the matter was over, so they renovated that dormitory building and let the new students move in. Unexpectedly, it started to be haunted."

"First, blood would come out of the tap, and hair would flow out when I took a shower. Or dozens of ghosts would appear at night and wander around the corridors of each floor. The scariest thing was that when you were squatting in the toilet, a ghostly hand would suddenly stick out of the hole and grab your butt."

"The commotion was so great that many freshmen were clamoring to go home. The school leaders had no choice but to let them commute first, and then they began to urgently build new dormitories."

"As for the haunted dormitory, it may be the work of vengeful spirits. The school leaders wanted to demolish it and rebuild it, but they couldn't, so it can only be left abandoned."

After listening to him finish speaking, Si Xingran's eyes were full of interest: "Interesting, really interesting."

He nudged Lin Sui with his elbow and said, "Master Lin, what kind of weirdo is this guy who likes to grab people's butts? Does he have some kind of special fetish?"

Lin Sui glanced at Qin Ziheng out of the corner of her eye, looking thoughtful. Upon hearing this, she only replied perfunctorily, "Yeah, so you'd better be careful when you move in tonight. Maybe it likes your kind of butt."

"Oh, it seems Master Lin knows what my butt looks like?" Si Xingran whistled, winking mischievously at her. "Did you peek?"

Lin Sui gave him a complicated look and said, "I advise you again to keep your underwear on."

"What... Awooo!" Si Xingran let out a wolf howl before he could finish speaking, and jumped up as if his butt was on fire.

Turning around, Lu Xiang was holding a chopstick in her hand.

That was the culprit who poked his butt.

Si Xingran rubbed his buttocks, which had almost been poked through, his face contorted, and gritted his teeth: "Old witch, you're dead!"

As he spoke, his hands twitched as if he were about to pinch her.

Finally, Lin Sui stopped him, exasperated: "Can you calm down? I'm about to have an attack."

Si Xingran paused, then looked down at her: "Show me how you make a mistake?"

"Are you sure?" Lin Sui asked blankly.

Si Xingran opened his mouth, and suddenly four pairs of eyes stared at him.

Including Li Ye, who had been keeping a close eye on Chen Jue.

Si Xingran's lips twitched.

Forget it, he's magnanimous and won't argue with a sickly person.

Qin Ziheng, who witnessed the whole thing, was completely bewildered.

They were just... talking about ghosts, weren't they?

Why has the focus shifted?

Just then, Qin Ziheng's phone rang. He quickly greeted the person and walked to the side to answer it.

He was stunned by what was said on the other end of the phone, and a shadow fell over his eyes.

Lin Sui subconsciously looked over, his gaze lingering on his face for two seconds before landing on Tang Xi, who sat quietly in the corner of the long table, looking almost invisible.

Qin Ziheng quickly hung up the phone, calmed himself down, and returned: "We just received news from the hospital that Yin Peipei has been officially pronounced dead after all efforts to save her failed. Her family is on their way. Out of humanitarian considerations, the school wants to ensure Yin Peipei is properly presented before her family arrives, but the nearest funeral home is about two hours away, which is simply not enough time, so..."

Upon hearing this, everyone, like Lin Sui, looked towards Tang Xi.

Qin Ziheng asked in surprise, "Are there really any morticians among you?"

Lin Sui looked up, a hint of surprise in her dark eyes: "How did your school know we have an embalmer here?"

Ordinary people participating in the program do not need to reveal their personal information.

Even Director Wu didn't know.

The school not only knew this clearly, but also intentionally arranged for it to happen...

"This... I'm just a librarian. As for the school leaders' affairs, I..." Qin Ziheng was in a difficult position.

Seeing this, Lin Sui didn't ask any more questions.

She walked straight to Tangxi's side, half-squatted down, and asked her, "Tangtang, would you like to go?"

Tangxi lowered her head and, after a long while, gently nodded.

[Tangtang is a mortician? OMG, that's so cool!]

[A dark, lolita-style mortician—this character design is straight out of a manga protagonist! I love it!]

[Sob, who understands me? Sui Bao is so patient and gentle with Tang Tang~]

"I……"

Seeing that Lin Sui had decided to go to the hospital, Chen Jue got up to say something.

Unexpectedly, Li Ye also stood up. His strong physique, standing at a full two meters tall, coupled with his fierce-looking face and indifferent eyes, increased the pressure on people.

Chen Jue smiled helplessly and said, "Don't be nervous. I just wanted to say that I really dislike hospitals. Can I not go?"

Lin Sui glanced at him.

Is it that he doesn't like it, or is he afraid that going to the hospital will expose his true nature and let her see something?

It's important to understand that some people become abnormal not because they can't get the love they want, nor because they suddenly become abnormal in order to pursue a particular person.

"Whatever you want," Lin Sui said, and walked out first.

Then Li Ye coldly said, "I'll stay too."

Lin Sui almost stumbled.

The most virtuous Bing Datou is indeed the most loyal warrior.

He was told to keep a close watch on Chen Jue, and he never let his guard down for a moment.

……

The morgue is one of the most yin-heavy places in the world.

It is also a common haunted location in movies.

The morgue at the hospital where Yin Peipei works is on the third basement level.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, a chilling aura rushed out.

Before the camera moved in, Lin Sui casually waved his hand, flicking away a lonely soul whose body was covered in frost.

Yin Peipei's body lay on the morgue's central platform.

Half of her face and even half of her head were sunken in, revealing her scarlet gums and mouth, which definitely needed to be repaired by an embalmer.

But Lin Sui didn't think that the school's arrangement was really just to give Yin Peipei a makeover.

Thinking about it, she turned her gaze to the corner.

There was a weak, translucent soul there.

It was Yin Peipei.

Before she fainted, Lin Sui looked at her face while she was still breathing and knew that she had indeed committed suicide.

However, her suicide was also a matter of cause and effect, and retribution was inevitable.

The dark energy tainted by human lives gradually devoured her, turning her life, which could have been a long and healthy one, into nothing more than a fleeting dream.

Therefore, her soul will not stay for long.

“Email…” Yin Peipei’s blank eyes met Lin Sui’s gaze, and she murmured, repeating, “Email.”

The newborn ghosts are still confused, like newborn babies, unable to speak or express themselves.

Only those with an exceptionally strong obsession might repeat a word or action repeatedly, like Yin Peipei.

Lin Sui: "You want me to see the emails on your phone?"

Yin Peipei nodded stiffly and slowly: "Email."

Lin Sui nodded: "I understand."

The next second, Yin Peipei disappeared.

Lin Sui guessed that she should have gone home by then, until she discovered that she was dead, and fainted from shock. She remained unconscious for seven days, which is the so-called first seven days after death.

"Master Lin, chatting with ghosts again? Can I join you?" Si Xingran leaned over cheekily.

Lin Sui turned and walked towards the morgue: "I can't carry you, you're too heavy."

Si Xingran: "..."

When Yin Peipei jumped from the building, her cell phone was with her, and it fell with her.

At that moment, the phone, broken into two pieces, sat quietly next to Yin Peipei's head.

She picked it up and handed it to Si Xingran: "Can it be repaired?"

"I'm a hacker, not a phone repairman." Si Xingran's face darkened a bit, but she still took the phone and squatted down to study it.

Tangxi had already made preparations before touching the body and was beginning to restore Yin Peipei's appearance.

Her tense little face was hidden under the mask, with only her eyebrows and eyes showing an unusually focused and serious expression, and her gaze was more resolute than ever before, making her completely different from any other person she had ever been.

Lin Sui thought, regardless of why she initially chose to enter this industry that deals with the dead.

At least for now, she truly loves and respects this profession.

I don't know why, but at this moment I felt a deep sense of respect.

It's often said that forensic doctors speak for the dead and should be respected, but aren't morticians the same?

[Naive. If the salary for an embalmer wasn't high, do you really think anyone would be willing to do it?]

【Then why don't you do it? Is it because you don't want to, or is your courage as small as a toothpick?】

"I never expected that this little potato would be the one that best suits my aesthetic."

Yu Cinian's light laughter rang in Lin Sui's ears: "Look how perfectly she repaired it. I'm sure she won't be too bad at cutting up pigs either."

Lin Sui: "...Is it possible that she sews pigs, not butchers them?"

Yu Cinian shrugged: "Who knows?"

Lin Sui: "..." That's dangerous, you big villain!

Just as Yin Peipei's face had almost recovered, her family arrived at the morgue accompanied by school leaders.

Lin Sui had no intention of listening to other people's pain. Before leaving, she silently glanced at the faces of the group of school leaders.

Finally, he lingered on one of the pale-faced middle-aged men for a few more seconds.

During this time, Si Xingran, who claimed not to be repairing phones, directly copied all the data from Yin Peipei's phone to his own phone.

On his way back to school, he quickly accessed Yin Peipei's frequently used email address in less than a minute.

"Tsk tsk, this Yin Peipei is no simpleton." Si Xingran quickly finished browsing the emails and handed her phone to Lin Sui.

Yu Cinian and Lu Xiang then gathered around.

The email was sent to Yin Peipei by an anonymous account.

Each email contained only a single photo with a black background and a line of distorted, scarlet text on it.

—You murderer, go die, go die!

"A low-level psychological suggestion." Yu Cinian glanced at it casually and sat back down without much interest.

Lin Sui glanced sideways: "You mean this is psychological suggestion?"

“Hmm.” Yu Cinian smiled, her eyes crinkling. “This only works on people who are psychologically fragile, especially those who have done bad things, feel guilty, and are afraid of being retaliated against.”

Lin Sui understood.

"Do you need me to check who sent the email?" Si Xingran asked.

Lin Sui shook her head: "No need, you probably won't be able to find out."

"Hey, I don't like hearing that." Si Xingran got excited and immediately snatched the phone.

Unfortunately, just as Lin Sui said, he couldn't find it.

The account's IP address is in an unlicensed internet cafe, and the messages were sent on a scheduled basis six months ago.

Even if you can find the internet cafe's address, or even pinpoint which computer sent the message, six months have passed and you still can't find the person.

In an instant, Si Xingran's platinum ahoge (cowlick) drooped down, and he looked completely dejected.

Lu Xiang scoffed without hesitation: "Trash!"

Si Xingran, unusually, didn't refute, and instead sullenly held her phone.

“However, Yin Peipei herself should know who the other party is,” Lin Sui said, pulling up her reply.

—I like you so much, why did you treat me like this?!

When I got back to school, it was almost evening.

The group waved goodbye to Qin Ziheng, picked up their luggage, and entered the abandoned dormitory building filled with eerie atmosphere.

The dormitory was old-fashioned, with people only moving in on the second floor. There was a corridor in the middle of the first floor that went to the end, with a large iron gate on each side leading to the male and female living areas respectively.

Qin Ziheng mentioned that the class that committed the mass suicide lived on the third floor, and if it was started by a female student...

Everyone spontaneously stepped onto the stairs leading to the girls' dormitory area and then stopped on the third floor.

There was no need to go looking for him; Li Ye was waiting in front of the dormitory.

Si Xingran glanced around and saw that one dormitory room was just enough for four people.

He draped his arm over Lin Sui's shoulder, raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Master Lin, the bed is so big, you shouldn't mind if we sleep together, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present fell silent.

Si Xingran is once again honored to receive the "everyone's watching" package.

"What are you pretending to be so profound for? Don't you want to?" Si Xingran touched the back of her head, which felt cold, and turned around to question her with dissatisfaction.
