    Chapter 63 What do you want to ask?

    It was just as Su Huihui had said.

    Gu Nanqian’s complexion certainly looked unwell. Even though she often put on a soft and weak appearance, at present, her face was ghastly pale.

    In contrast, the dark circles under the eyes appeared very obvious.

    Seeing Ning Meng, Gu Nanqian opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, she frowned slightly, as if she was about to cry.

    Ning Meng walked away without even sparing her a glance.

    In any case, this matter had nothing to do with her, so she had no desire to stick her nose into it. After what Gu Nanqian had done so far, even if she ran into a ghost and suffered karma, she wouldn’t think anything of it.

    Shi Qi must’ve had a hand in this. How refreshing it felt.

    “Meng Ning…” Gu Nanqian whispered.

    She laid on her back and came face to face with ‘it’.

    The balcony doors weren’t closed, and it was bustling outside. Multi-colored lights were still lit at night, brightness pouring through the transparent doors, allowing her to see the view clearly.

    Blood was trickling down on its face, dripping down onto hers.

    Gu Nanqian was stunned at that time. She reached out a hand and touched her face, feeling a sticky sensation. The tip of her nose smelled intensely of iron, evoking the urge in her to barf.

    She originally thought she was just in a dream, but that was not the case.

    It was a ghost.

    The ghost was pressing down on her, watching her sleep until she woke up.

    Gu Nanqian was so scared that she immediately let out a scream. When the people in the room turned the lights on, she realized that the ghost had disappeared.

    But when the lights had turned off, she reappeared again, still staring straight at her, her facial features terrifying.

    She stayed up all night and only when dawn cracked did she squint her hazy eyes.

    Since there wasn’t any class this morning, she immediately headed out and booked a hotel, finally managing to catch a few hours of sleep there, and then she skipped the rest of the classes in the afternoon.

    She didn’t dare go back to the dormitory.

    After Ning Meng had walked for a long time, she realized that Gu Nanqian hadn’t followed her at all.

    She thought to herself. Perhaps it was because she had received such a heavy fright last night.

    It looked like it was best to scare her a little more in the future. This way, she would stop clinging to her and begging for her forgiveness.

    There were very few people in the canteen, so Ning Meng was able to quickly find a seat.

    It was still daytime, so she opened the thread she had saved yesterday.

    Since a long time had passed since the creation of the post, the title had already turned grey.

    In class this morning, she checked out the place that was mentioned in the thread. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much information provided apart from an approximate time.

    However, there were some things that happened with the dormitory.

    For example, five years ago, the dormitory building she now lived in was not for freshmen, but for female postgraduates.

    Or for those who didn’t want to live in their originally allocated dormitory and only the first floor was reserved for teachers-in-training.

    “Original Poster: !!! What happened last night was horrible. I was the only one left in the dormitory. The police and doctors were all in the water room. I just just finished taking notes but now I’m already on my way home, even if you beat me to death, I won’t take the postgraduate entrance exam.

    The original poster’s words sounded so excited but it didn’t reveal any information.

    Advertisements

    It was summer vacation at that time, and most of the people staying behind in school were those who were taking the postgraduate entrance examination or driver’s license test so the dormitory was very empty.

    There were many night owls in school, and they weren’t in a rush to go home so there were many people who went into the forums and saw the thread.

    Within just a few minutes, several people left messages asking the original poster what had happened. Was there a fight or did something else happen?

    At the end of last semester, a fighting incident happened at the school gates, and in the end, there were even casualties. Even though the matter didn’t create a big uproar, it was still spread among the students.

    People always held absolute curiosity towards ominous affairs.

    Not to mention, this matter was also related to their own school.

    In a mere matter of minutes, after the original poster posted those words on the first page, the rest of the replies were all from passer-bys.

    About half an hour after the original poster had created the thread, the original poster finally appeared again in the threads, posting a very long statement, “I don’t know if this will be deleted but in any case, I want to say it. It was so crazy. That was my first time seeing such a terrible way to die, the murderer was really… being accompanied by my parents makes me feel much safer…I almost couldn’t return home…”

    “…I live on the third floor. As you all know, this side is the old campus. There is only one water room on the first floor and you can’t boil water anywhere else. I came back from the library last night and realized I didn’t have any more hot water in my thermos. At that time, it was already ten o’clock. There weren’t many people taking the postgraduate entrance exams living here during summer vacation. Those who had better family circumstances would go out to rent a room. As a person without any money, I can only live in the dormitory allocated by the school, so I didn’t think it odd walking through the quiet corridor. After all, I was already used to it.”

    “There were about six rooms between the water room and my room. My steps resounded heavily in the corridor, and the voice-activating light turned on at the sounds of them. As a result, when I entered the water room, I was stunned…I swear that I’ve never seen such a terrifying scene in my entire life!”

    “…The water room wasn’t big, only one or two square meters, but in such a small space, a person was lying on the ground…or rather you can’t call it a person any longer…I don’t know who it was, but her skin was wrinkled, curled and cracked, you could even see their flesh…The ground was filled with water, and the person’s eyes were still wide open, it was hard to see what she originally looked like because she looked like a withered monster…”

    “I was so frightened at that time that my legs turned limp and I became paralyzed. If it wasn’t because I was holding onto the wall for support, my legs would’ve lost all strength and I would’ve plopped down on the ground. I even let out a scream and perhaps because my voice was loud, it alerted the other people in the dorm and they came over and discovered the scene…..Afterwards, we reported this incident to the police and in a matter of moments, the police and ambulance arrived.”

    “Do you know how that girl died?”

    Ning Meng scrolled down, and saw that all the replies were asking about how she died. There was even someone who asked whether this incident was real or fake, and she had gone through several pages.

    345th post: Why was she wrinkly? Was the person who died a grandmother?

    346th post: The image that the original poster said… reminds me of scenes that happened in horror movies. Did it really appear in reality? Does OP have a picture?

    347th post: It looks like the above posters didn’t read carefully. It was definitely a young lady who was murdered in the water room. I have a guess on how she was killed but I don’t dare believe it..

    457th post: Where’s OP? Come on, tell us how she died. Also, is this really true? Are there any pictures? No one in the group seems to have brought up this matter. This isn’t fabricated, is it?

    458th post: Although it looks very real, I always had a feeling that such a matter wouldn’t happen in our school. I just asked a friend at school, but I haven’t gotten an answer yet.

    Ning Meng continued to scroll down, and finally found the OP’s reply 500 posts later, “Have you ever heard of someone being burned to death alive?”

    Her reply was just this short.

    It was a very simple rhetorical question, but it seemed to contain a deep sense of fear and panic. After that, no one responded for a full hour.

    The picture of it seemed to emerge in front of her eyes.

    At this point, Ning Meng turned her phone off.

    It was the first time she had seen this way of dying and thinking about it already made her feel frightened. It was probably more painful to be burned to death alive rather than dead.

    How could there be such a cruel way of death?

    How much hatred did one have to harbor to burn people to death with boiling water. If they weren’t a psychopath, it was probably a very deep hatred.

    Ning Meng collected her thoughts and finally calmed down.

    Fortunately, she had chosen to read the post at noon. If it were at night, she probably wouldn’t be able to sleep after.

    She looked up at her surroundings, and saw that the number of students in the cafeteria gradually started growing. Chattering voices rang out, brimming with liveliness.

    The ghost definitely wouldn’t choose such a place. At the very least, she hadn’t seen any ghosts in the cafeteria. If there were, they probably died from starvation.

    Ghosts who died from starvation shouldn’t be scary, even if she hadn’t bumped into one.

    Ning Meng continued to read the thread.

    The last time the original poster appeared was on the third last page, “This is the end of the story. The thread may be deleted tomorrow. If you don’t believe me, it’s okay. I have already gone home. I’ll never go back to the dormitory in my life ever again.”

    After leaving these words, she never appeared again.

    Someone in the thread also inquired about this incident. After all, there were other witnesses whom they could ask.

    And then a few more threads appeared in the forum, all discussing this matter, but they were quickly deleted.

    Only this thread was left up until now.

    Ning Meng guessed that the reason why the thread wasn’t deleted was probably because the title and the first page didn’t point out anything.

    This kind of situation where the killer hasn’t been caught nor was there a suspect, could potentially give rise to panic among teachers and students so the school would certainly do its best to suppress it from leaking further.

    It coincidentally happened during summer vacation. There weren’t many people in school, so the matter wasn’t spread too far. A long time had also passed and there weren’t any definitive pictures taken so everyone eventually forgot about this.

    Ning Meng took a deep breath and closed the thread.

    It just so happened that her noodles had arrived, and when she looked up, she realized Shi Qi was sitting across her. She didn’t know how long he had been there, slipping into his seat silently.

    Shi Qi cast his eyes down.

    The bowl was very small so there naturally weren’t much noodles. He frowned, how could she eat so little?

    Ning Meng thought for a while, and asked quietly, “Umm, Gu Nanqian last night…”

    Before she could even finish her words, Shi Qi had already leaned over towards her slightly, his eyes glinting, “What do you want to ask?”

    His green eyes gradually turned dark, and even though he spoke in such a light tone, it carried a tenderness to them, as well as an inexplicable tint of gloom.

    Ning Meng couldn’t help but quiver.

    *****

    Say all you know.

    And say it without reserve.

    —— “Shi Qi’s secretly hidden little diary”

    The author has something to say:

    Ning Meng: I’m too scared to ask!
