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

Chapter 1067 Who is the Real Culprit (Part 10)

“That’s right, you’ve found the blind spot.” Liu Sheng nodded. “That’s also why they were so vague earlier.”

"While part of it was to protect Zhou Yun's secret, another part was to glorify himself."

Yun Jizhao was taken aback: "Why beautify it?"

Liu Sheng raised her finger and tapped the image on the light screen.

"Although the spiritual message in Zhou Yun's mind is hidden, it still needs to be taken out periodically to dissipate heat."

"Dissipate heat?"

“When the psychic message is running, it will generate residual heat from the psychic energy. It is fine to place it outside the body, but the temperature will continue to rise when placed inside the brain.”

Liu Sheng calmly explained:

"Although Zhou Yun's brain can open and close, it cannot be exposed normally... If it is used at high intensity without heat dissipation, it will at least affect the operation of spiritual communication, and at worst, it will burn the nerves."

"If you do it too much, you'll eventually get caught."

Yun Jizhao nodded blankly: "I see."

“More importantly—” Liu Sheng’s gaze turned slightly cold, “After they found out, they didn’t think of reporting it to the academy. Instead, they pressed Zhou Yun to tell them how she did it.”

"How did you know?" Yun Jizhao's eyes widened.

"The scene was a mess; even the closets were open and clothes were rummaged through. It was more like a ransacking operation than a fight," Liu Sheng said calmly. "I suspect they hid Zhou Yun's belongings to threaten and interrogate her, ultimately leading to the altercation."

“No wonder…” Yun Jizhao rubbed his forehead, “With the imperial examinations just around the corner, it is indeed… too tempting.”

"In the end, Zhou Yun probably succeeded in getting it back, or maybe they were afraid of making a big fuss, so they gave it back to Zhou Yun."

"That's why we were able to see Zhou Yun put it back into her mind!"

Yun Jizhao suddenly realized, and then looked at the light screen, his eyes showing hesitation and reluctance.

"Then... can we witness the process of Zhou Yun's death...?"

“Theoretically, yes,” Liu Sheng replied.

Yun Jizhao frowned and bit his lower lip.

"If you don't want to watch—"

“It’s alright, I’m curious about what will happen too.” Yun Jizhao shook his head, his brows furrowed. “It’s strange… Zhou Yun doesn’t seem like she’s preparing to die at all right now…”

This is true.

In the light screen, after Zhou Yun put down the skull, she used the cleansing technique that Liu Sheng often used to carefully clean the bloodstains and dust off her body, and even took out a water mirror to comb her hair.

The movements were calm and fluid.

She then slowly stood up, revealing a relaxed smile.

However, he stood there for a long time without moving, and even the smile on his face remained unchanged.

It's been going on for so long that it seems a bit strange.

Liu Sheng frowned and slowly dragged the progress bar—

Finally, Zhou Yun moved.

The smile vanished in an instant.

It was as if he had figured something out, or as if he had made some kind of decision.

I walked step by step through the courtyard toward the crooked pine tree.

Take out the white silk and hang it on the tree.

Then he slowly put his head inside...

My feet loosened up.

He fell downwards.

Yun Jizhao covered his mouth, almost forgetting to breathe.

Just when both of them thought Zhou Yun would never move again.

Her upper head suddenly opened and slumped backward.

But it didn't fall off; it remained attached to the lower half of my face.

However, when his eyes looked back, they came right into the field of vision of the warding-off-evil mirror.

His gaze shifted, fixing directly on the direction of the warding-off-evil mirror.

A slow smile crept onto his lips.

Just like...

I was watching them both smile through the light screen.

Liu Sheng and Yun Jizhao were both startled.

But soon, the smile twisted into pain, and finally froze on his face permanently.

There was silence for a while.

Yun Jizhao slowly opened his mouth:
"After seeing this, I understand even less. She clearly got the things back. And Du Xiwei and Yang Chunmei have something to hide and won't say anything for the time being, so why would she..."

Liu Sheng stared intently at the mirage.

After a long while, I dragged the progress bar again.

Let's rewind to the moment Zhou Yun finished her makeup.

Take a look.

I dragged it back and watched it again.

"What's wrong?" Yun Jizhao's eyes lit up. "Did you discover something?"

Liu Sheng remained silent, dividing the mirage image of Zhou Yun standing still for so long into three segments.

They were unfolded into three light screens placed together.

"look."

Yun Jizhao stared blankly as the three segments played simultaneously.

"What are you looking at?"

When the scene played for the third time, she finally noticed something.

"Wait! Although Zhou Yun hasn't moved at all, the swaying of the tree shadows and the falling snowflakes... are exactly the same!"

“In other words—” Liu Sheng nodded slightly: “That’s right, this is the same recorded footage, copied and filled in three times to form a complete segment.”

"How can this be!"

Yun Jizhao suddenly looked at Liu Sheng.

"Someone tampered with it?"

Liu Sheng nodded again.

“But…” Yun Jizhao bit his lower lip, “How could you do that?”

There are two possibilities.

"The first type—this person possesses some kind of ability that you and I cannot imagine, allowing them to forcibly bypass the firewall of the Evil-Repelling Mirror and interfere with the recording; otherwise, no matter how high their cultivation level is..."

You can't get past that—unless you understand the underlying logic like she does.

But Liu Sheng didn't say those words aloud.

"What about the second one?" Yun Jizhao pressed.

Liu Sheng stared at the three eerily identical scenes, his eyes growing colder:

"The second one—"

"It is someone with administrator privileges who can directly delete or modify this mirage."

Yun Jizhao gasped instantly.

His eyes trembled, as if he were thinking of something.

Just then, Liu Sheng seemed to sense something, glanced at the time, and raised his hand to extinguish the silencing array.

A cacophony of sounds immediately erupted from outside, like a long-isolated tide suddenly surging up.

"what happened?"

Yun Jizhao's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly pushed open the door and went out.

At the end of the corridor, the lights flickered, and a group of people surged in from the direction of Zhou Yun's dormitory.

At the very front, with a cold and upright demeanor and a sharp expression, was none other than He Zhaizhang.

Behind her were Du Xiwei and Yang Chunmei.

Sandwiched between the guards, he looked dejected but did not resist, clearly having prepared himself mentally.

She merely raised her eyes and met Yun Jizhao's gaze in the crowd. A complex emotion flashed in her eyes for a moment, culminating in a desperate plea.

But there was nothing she could do.

We could only watch them go.

Frustrated, I returned to my room and saw Liu Sheng still intently facing the light screen, the code on it flowing rapidly as she operated it.

"What do we do? Du Xiwei and Yang Chunmei have really been taken away!"

Yun Jizhao subconsciously felt that only Liu Sheng had a solution.

“As roommates, they will definitely be questioned.” Liu Sheng said without looking up. “What they have done cannot be hidden, but it is unclear how severe the punishment will be from the academy.”

“Then…” Yun Jizhao bit his lower lip.

Liu Sheng finally stopped what she was doing.

"Don't worry."

"Let's follow them and see."

After speaking, she lightly stepped out the door.

Yun Jizhao was stunned for a moment, but without thinking too much, he quickly chased after her.

I just happened to brush past my two roommates who were entering the room.

……

He Zhaizhang walked out of the confinement room, rubbing his furrowed brow.

The door closed behind her, silencing the sound of sobbing.

Two guards rushed forward to greet them.

"How is it, Abbot?"

"Did they cause trouble? Should we send them to the county government?"

He Zhaizhang did not respond directly, but said calmly, "The academy's formation is now closed, we'll talk about it tomorrow morning."

"But...the academy has no reason to detain two students..."

“Do you think,” Headmaster He said sternly, “that ‘bullying a classmate to the point of suicide’ is not enough grounds for solitary confinement?”

"This……"

The two guards looked at each other in bewilderment.

Just then, a clear, cold voice rang out from the side:

"What if someone else might have driven him to suicide?"

Under the lamplight, a female student stood quietly.

Although her appearance was plain and easily forgotten, her cool and resolute demeanor made her impossible to ignore.

It was Liu Sheng.

Yun Jizhao followed beside him, his face full of trepidation.

“You are…” He Zhaizhang frowned slightly.

"A kind-hearted student." Liu Sheng cupped his hands in greeting. "I still have some clues to provide regarding Zhou Yun's case."

He Zhaizhang's eyes immediately sharpened.

The corners of her lips turned downwards and pressed even deeper.

"No need, the matter is settled."

After saying that, he whispered an instruction to the guards:

"Keep a close eye on Du and Yang, and never leave their side."

Just as they were about to pass each other, Liu Sheng's voice rang out again:
"Really? You're convinced they're the whole story?"

"Even if Zhou Yun saw other people before she died last night?"
