The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 1065 Who is the Real Culprit (Part 8)

As soon as these words came out.

Du Xiwei froze, sitting on the ground with her lips tightly pursed.

The other girl's mouth remained half-open, and she froze.

Yun Jizhao, on the other hand, went from being flustered when he first broke in to being completely shocked.

"W-what?"

This question, like a pebble, broke the brief silence.

The two of them finally came to their senses.

"you--"

Liu Sheng interrupted Du Xiwei's question:

"You want to ask me how I know? I think it's only a matter of time before the academy comes to question you, given the commotion you made last night."

Their expressions immediately became quite interesting.

Embarrassed, alert, and annoyed.

"It's all those neighbors' fault..."

"Gossiping first thing in the morning!" Du Xiwei was furious. "I told them not to spread rumors—you really can't trust them, a bunch of big mouths!"

Liu Sheng shook his head:

"But whether they spread it or not, now that the academy is investigating, they will definitely tell everything they hear."

"and……"

She scanned the room.

The wooden box was overturned, the books were scattered, and clothes were dragged out of the closet, leaving the floor in a mess as if swept by the wind.

"The academy will be searching soon, and seeing this situation, it's hard not to have some doubts—so you want to come back and clean up as soon as possible, right?"

"You two had a really big argument last night, didn't you?"

With each word, their faces grew paler and paler.

He stammered, unable to speak.

It seems more like he's feeling guilty.

Yun Jizhao immediately had a guess: "Could it be that you... hit Zhou Yun?"

The two shook their heads hastily.

"No! Of course not!"

"She's at the second level of Qi Refining, while we're only at the first level. How can we possibly win!"

Yun Jizhao asked again, "Or did you kill her and hang her from a tree...?"

The two then vehemently denied the allegations.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"She even ran away! She was still alive then!" Du Xi said anxiously, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes. "We haven't seen her since—"

At this point, Liu Sheng spoke up, "The reason she ran away was because of her argument with you, right?"

Now, neither of them had anything to say.

"So, Zhou Yun's death really is related to you..." Yun Jizhao suddenly realized, and timidly approached Liu Sheng.

"us……"

Du Xiwei managed to squeeze out only two words before collapsing backward as if all her energy had been drained, lying on the ground in a defiant, resigned attitude.

Judging from their expressions, the women in the neighboring dormitory really weren't exaggerating.

Another girl hurriedly pulled Du Xiwei along:

"Don't lie there! We didn't do anything!"

“But Zhou Yun is still dead after all… If the academy blames us…” Du Xiwei’s voice trembled, “What about our reputation? What about the imperial examinations? I’m afraid even other academies won’t accept us…”

The girl shouted, "If anyone is wrong, it's her first!"

Du Xiwei's expression twitched slightly.

Liu Sheng finally noticed something amiss.

"what happened?"

At this moment, it was Du Xiwei who calmed down first.

He took a deep breath, slowly sat up, and stood up using the girl's support.

She tucked her disheveled hair behind her ear, flicked her wrist, and activated the silencing spell.

What do you two want?

She stared at Liu Sheng and Yun Jizhao, her tone turning cold.

"For the sake of so-called 'justice'? Or simply out of curiosity?"

"If it's for the sake of justice—rest assured, if the academy really investigates us, we won't run away. We will personally explain to the academy what needs to be confessed."

"But if you're just trying to find out—don't even think about it. We won't say a word."

The other girl also nodded vigorously.

Standing side by side with Du Xiwei.

Liu Sheng raised an eyebrow: "Even if you really would be accused of bullying your roommates?"

For a moment, their expressions flickered with hesitation, but Du Xiwei ultimately lowered her head:

"Yes, I've thought it through."

The girl clenched her fists tightly: "Even if that's the case, we should take responsibility. It's true... we started the conflict and made her so angry that she stormed out. We'll explain everything to the academy right away."

He seemed resigned to his fate. This surprised Liu Sheng somewhat.

Based on the information we had heard, it seemed that the two of them had a conflict with Zhou Yun due to jealousy or something similar.

But now it seems that's not the case.

Liu Sheng's gaze swept back and forth across the two faces.

He nodded immediately: "I understand."

"What do you understand?" Du Xi frowned slightly.

"You want to protect Zhou Yun's posthumous reputation."

Both faces froze at the same time.

"What...what nonsense are you talking about?" Du Xiwei forced herself to remain calm.

Yun Jizhao also stared wide-eyed at Liu Sheng.

“Let me guess—” Liu Sheng said, “Is there something Zhou Yun did that’s not so honorable, and your exposé of her resulted in an argument?”

"So she escaped because, after much deliberation, she decided that it was better to die than to have the truth exposed—"

“We didn’t drive her to her death!” the girl said emotionally, her eyes reddening. “We never intended to…”

Du Xiwei stopped the girl:
"do not talk."

Then he looked up and stared at Liu Sheng: "In short, this matter has nothing to do with you, and we have no obligation to answer it."

The dormitory fell into a deathly silence.

Du Xi raised his hand towards the door, clearly indicating that he was asking the guest to leave.

Yun Jizhao also tugged at Liu Sheng's sleeve.

Anyway, the matter seems to be clear now.

Liu Sheng nodded slightly, then stopped abruptly, turning her head to ask:
"Your name is Du Xiwei, and—what's your name?"

The girl was taken aback, and subconsciously asked:
"What do you ask for this?"

"Don't worry, I don't plan to report you. The academy will find out about you even without my help. I just want to know your name."

The girl blushed and said angrily:
"Hmph, remember this! I'll never change my name, I'll always be called Yang Chunmei!"

Why are their names so different...?

Liu Sheng muttered a complaint to himself.

He turned towards the door while taking out the spiritual message.

Find the real culprit and tell me.

So, is it enough to just enter these two people's names?
So simple?
Yun Jizhao, who was standing next to him, had already opened the door.

It's snowing outside, and cold wind and snowflakes are blowing in together.

It was a truly chilling experience.

The snow fell heavily on the branches, making a crisp, crunching sound as it fell, along with the crunching of small animals running across the snow.

The sound reaches my ears.

Liu Sheng stared at the blank input box, her finger hovering for a long time before finally withdrawing it.

He turned around and closed the door, shutting out the sound of the snow falling outside.

The two girls had just breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Liu Sheng was not leaving again, and their hearts jumped into their throats.

But then she said earnestly:

"I still think that the thing you helped Zhou Yun cover up is very important."

Du Xiwei and Yang Chunmei were both stunned.

"I said I wouldn't tell you—"

“It’s very quiet,” Liu Sheng suddenly said.

These three words are meaningless.

The other three were also confused.

"Don't you think this room is very quiet?"

Du Xiwei subconsciously replied, "Of course it's quiet, because a silencing array is activated—"

Halfway through his words, he stopped abruptly.

His face drained of all color in an instant.

"you understood."

Liu Sheng nodded calmly.

Du Xi murmured, "We usually can't bear to use spirit pearls... we almost never activate the silence array."

"But I had a big argument with Zhou Yun last night and didn't want the neighbors to hear, so I specially... turned it on."

Yang Chunmei also realized what was happening, her face turning pale and then flushed.

"That's right, if that's the case, how could the neighbors hear it?"

"Unless—someone turned off the magic circle!"

"Moreover, only those within the magic array and with the authority to control it can lock it up..."

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock.

Yun Jizhao looked bewildered and asked Liu Sheng in a low voice:

"What...are they saying?"

Liu Sheng said calmly:
"They just understood."

“Zhou Yun deliberately framed them for bullying their roommate, leading to his suicide.”
