The mummified remains behind the mirror were very small, and remnants of a school uniform that hadn’t completely decayed could still be vaguely seen on the body. This mummy was definitely a student of this school.

Who could silently wall her up and hide her behind the mirror? Zhao Mingyue instinctively thought of the school’s teachers and principal, especially the dance teacher.

【Red Dance Shoes】

【Task Requirements: After midnight, enter the dance studio on the third floor of the youth center. Find the red dance shoes and put them on. Take them off after sixty seconds.】

【Did you hear? That person disappeared and hasn’t come to class for a long time.】

【Hmph, it’s better if she doesn’t come. Don’t think you can always stay number one just because you climbed into the principal’s bed.】

【But I think she was really training hard. She would go to the dance studio every night.】

【Tsk, why can’t she practice during the day? She doesn’t dare to come here when we’re here during the day. After all, only at night when it’s quiet does she have a chance. What a sl*t. Juan, don’t speak for her.】

【…】

【Juan, do you smell something? It stinks. Did a rat die here?】

【Juan! Where are you? There’s someone in the mirror. She smiled at me!】

From the task information, the principal was the most suspicious. Only he had the ability to wall up a girl’s corpse without anyone noticing. He only needed to say that the dance studio needed maintenance and close it for a week.

She also analyzed that the girl in the mirror was probably often bullied, so she didn’t dare go to the classroom during the day and had to go at night. It was precisely because she went at night that the principal had an opportunity.

If it was really as the task information said, that this girl went to the dance studio at night to meet the principal in private, then the principal normally wouldn’t kill her, because to a certain extent, it could be considered “consensual”, unless there was a dispute, such as the principal wanting a freebie.

Zhao Mingyue felt that her analysis made a lot of sense.

She just didn’t know if the ghost she had just knocked to death was the girl behind the mirror.

The flashlight was still shining on the mummy at the back of the classroom. Zhao Mingyue felt a little scared.

She wasn’t very afraid of ghosts now, but having to pull off a dead person’s shoes and wear them was a bit much.

However, thinking again, if she didn’t try her best now, the little sister in her shadow might be snatched away by someone else. This thought instantly motivated her.

“For Big Sister Yu, I’ll go for it!”

Zhao Mingyue mustered her courage inwardly.

Her slightly trembling hand reached for the mummy’s feet.

“It’s just for a moment, don’t worry. Once I get out, I’ll call the police and let them take you home, to give you closure.”

Muttering softly, before her hand could touch the red dance shoes, Zhao Mingyue’s paused.

This school, for some reason, couldn’t make much noise. In the absence of human interference, the entire school was completely silent, so under such circumstances, any slight movement would be greatly amplified.

At this moment, besides her own voice, she could vaguely hear footsteps coming from downstairs.

Very light and not obvious. If she didn’t listen carefully, she wouldn’t hear it at all.

Zhao Mingyue withdrew her hand and looked towards the stairwell.

It definitely wouldn’t be Bai Yu at this time. Since it wasn’t Bai Yu, whoever was approaching had to be treated with caution, no matter who it was.

The footsteps were slowly approaching. The other party was obviously also a cautious person and didn’t rush up immediately.

Zhao Mingyue really wanted to know if the other party was human or ghost.

She tried to slow down her breathing and concentrated highly.

There might still be ghosts hiding in the dance studio, and she didn’t know if the one coming up the stairs outside was human or ghost.

Time seemed to pass very slowly at this moment.

She didn’t even know how long had passed before the footsteps finally reached the third-floor stairs.

The footsteps were heavy, at least heavier than a ghost’s, sounding more like a living person.

Zhao Mingyue raised the magic staff in her hand, hiding behind the wall and waiting to give the other party a blow to the head.

She knew she was weak and no match for either ghosts or humans. She could only only ambush like this, which was often very effective.

Zhao Mingyue’s gaze shifted downward. She first saw a woman’s boot step in.

“It’s a living person!”

She was certain she had never seen these shoes before. And who would be an innocent bystander coming here in the middle of the night?

The pickaxe-shaped magic staff smashed towards the person at the door. The other party didn’t expect someone to be hiding at the third-floor stairwell shamelessly launching a sneak attack without a word.

After all, they were just an ordinary person without fast enough reflexes.

Zhao Mingyue’s hammer solidly smashed the other party’s shoulder, making a dull sound, followed by a pained groan.

If Lu Liangting were standing here at this time, he would definitely recognize the person who came up.

This girl was the one who saved him from Li Nan’s hands at Sunshine Apartments, named Chen Yun, attending the same high school as Zhao Mingyue and Lu Liangting.

Back then, she used the talisman in her hand to eliminate the fierce ghost on Li Nan’s back. Lu Liangting also borrowed her talisman to keep the old director out for a long time.

Chen Yun staggered back a few steps, one hand covering her shoulder.

Her left shoulder was hit, hanging powerlessly. It hurt like hell with the slightest movement, the kind of pain from being hit by a blunt weapon.

Standing at the stairwell, holding the hammer with both hands, Zhao Mingyue stared at Chen Yun, feeling a sense of familiarity, like she had seen her somewhere before.

Chen Yun raised her head indignantly. Upon discovering that the person who injured her was actually Zhao Mingyue, her eyes became even more resentful.

This time, one of her targets was Zhao Mingyue.

“How did this kid survive?” After devouring the old director, Bai Yu didn’t kill Shen Shuyun but set her sights on Lu Liangting.

She couldn’t figure out one thing, which was how Lu Liangting managed to block the door.

When she saw the red talisman with a pair of ghostly eyes pasted on the door, she couldn’t help but frown.

This talisman gave her an inexplicable sense of threat, especially since its power had been mostly depleted.

The talisman itself wasn’t important. What mattered was who gave it to Lu Liangting.

The person who could make this thing had to be eliminated as soon as possible, or there would be endless trouble in the future.

A game participant capable of making props specifically targeting ghosts was a natural counter to her.

As for how to find out the answer, Bai Yu’s choice was…

“Lu Liangting.” Standing not far from Lu Liangting, she suddenly spoke.

Just two simple words, but Lu Liangting immediately perked up, feeling so excited that he was even a little nervous.

This was the first time Bai Yu had called his name. Did it mean she was open to communication?

This was the most crucial step!

“Is there anything I can help with?” Lu Liangting hurriedly asked.

“I want to know who gave you that paper?”

“You mean this talisman? It was given to me by a friend. She’s a good person named Chen Yun. If there’s a chance in the future, we can…”

Before Lu Liangting could finish, Bai Yu turned and left.

“Chen Yun…”
