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

Chapter 928 A Golden Crow (Part Two) (Two-in-One)

Zheng Qiran is dead.

Liu Sheng learned of this news as soon as she stepped out of the Federation Language Level 12 exam hall.

At that time, as a low-dimensional ancient experimental field, humans were bombarded with a bunch of unfamiliar yet familiar letters forming words, long sentences, and articles in turn, and she felt a little dizzy.

The crowd slowly moved from the sixth floor to the first floor.

But then they heard an increasingly noisy commotion.

The open space in front of the teaching building was already crowded with people.

problem occurs.

Liu Sheng immediately realized what was happening.

From the surprised and excited conversations of those around her, she quickly grasped the key point—

Someone committed suicide!
Liu Sheng blinked.

A strange sense of unease welled up inside me.

The crowd was so dense that it was impossible to squeeze through, and more and more people were gathering to watch the spectacle.

Liu Sheng's gaze turned slightly cold.

He immediately turned around and ran up to the second floor.

I craned my neck to look down at the railing—but it was still blocked by layers of people.

One more level.

Finally, Liu Sheng leaned out and saw a glaring red spot below, lying in the middle of the crowd like a blood-stained rag, almost unrecognizable as human.

Although Liu Sheng had only caught a fleeting glimpse of the face lying in the blood, and it was now somewhat mangled from the impact, she immediately recognized it thanks to "the world's" prompting—

This is Zheng Qiran.

Did she commit suicide?
Overwhelmed with emotion, Liu Sheng quickly took out her phone and dialed the emergency number, only to learn from the call that someone had already made the call.

Thankfully, there are still some people with a conscience.

Before long, school teachers and security guards arrived and cleared away all the students who had come to watch the commotion, including Liu Sheng, who had sought a high vantage point upstairs.

In short, the entire area, including the teaching buildings, is now closed off.

As a roommate, Liu Sheng was also taken by a teacher to cooperate with the questioning.

As Liu Sheng walked to the door of the classroom that had been temporarily set up as an interrogation room, he immediately saw Lin Yue standing outside.

He looked anxious and paced back and forth.

The moment their eyes met Liu Sheng's, they immediately looked away as if they had been burned.

Liu Sheng keenly caught that fleeting look in his eyes.

Guilt, shame, and... fear.

Liu Sheng frowned.

"Are you He Tao?" the police officer at the door asked.

"Yes."

"Please wait a moment, they are questioning people inside."

Soon, the door opened.

The person inside came out and met Liu Sheng's gaze.

In that instant, the man's pupils contracted, and his face was filled with surprise.

Then, the surprise subsided.

His pale face showed the same expression as Lin Yue's.

Long Yingxue lowered her head, avoided Liu Sheng's gaze, and walked past him to take Lin Yue's hand.

The two left without saying a word.

It seems Lin Yue has already been questioned and is just waiting for her.

Liu Sheng understood and, following the officer's signal at the door, entered the classroom.

The classroom was empty, except for two people sitting in the first row.

A young male teacher with a face full of acne was probably Zheng Qiran's counselor.

The other was a capable-looking middle-aged female police officer. When Liu Sheng entered, her gaze swept over her like a knife.

"Hello, I'm Officer Yu," she said in a deep voice, gesturing to the chair opposite her. "Please sit down."

Liu Sheng sat in the chair opposite them, and could see the window behind them perfectly.

The translucent window paper was already somewhat mottled, as if it had been torn by some kind of claw, revealing the figures of students running and playing football on the field outside.

"Tell me your name, student ID, major, and your relationship with Zheng Qiran."

This sentence brought Liu Sheng's attention back.

Liu Sheng quickly provided all the basic information under the alias "He Tao".

"Aren't you Zheng Qiran's classmate?" Officer Yu asked sharply.

"No. I was just assigned to a dormitory."

"Oh." Officer Yu nodded. "Do you know why we called you here?"

"I know, the news has spread." Liu Sheng paused, then added, "I saw it too."

"You witnessed Zheng Qiran's death?"

The word "death".

Liu Sheng raised an eyebrow—it seemed Zheng Qiran couldn't be saved.

"No, I just saw her lying on the ground. I just finished my Level 12 exam in the Commonwealth Language, and that was my exam room."

These words caused Officer Yu's eyebrows to twitch almost imperceptibly, and he lowered his head to make a note in his notebook.

How did you do on the exam?

The sudden change of topic startled Liu Sheng, but she quickly replied, "It's alright, last-minute cramming has some effect."

Do you think it will pass?

"can."

"So sure?"

"Yes, I have confidence in myself."

"Didn't you go to the restroom in between?"

"No, I don't drink much water before the exam."

Officer Yu's expression relaxed slightly, but Liu Sheng's next sentence made her wary again:
"What, Officer Yu, do you suspect... that Zheng Qiran didn't commit suicide?"

The counselor next to him was so shocked that his mouth dropped open.

"Why would you think that?" Officer Yu stared at Liu Sheng.

"Aren't you investigating my alibi?"

"That teaching building was used as the examination hall for the Federal Language Level 12 exam, and it was closed from 9:00 to 11:30. Zheng Qiran fell from the building just as everyone was leaving the examination hall after finishing their exams..."

"So if someone really did kill Zheng Qiran, it could only be someone from that building."

"And the one who is related is me. If Zheng Qiran really committed suicide, you wouldn't be asking me these questions."

After listening to Liu Sheng calmly and clearly finish speaking, the counselor's mouth was closed and pursed tightly, but there was a strange look in her eyes when she looked at Liu Sheng, as well as a slight fear like that of Long Yingxue and Lin Yue.

Officer Yu's gaze deepened.

“...It’s just a routine investigation.” She coughed lightly. “You’re overthinking it.”

Liu Sheng ignored him and took out his exam admission ticket and placed it on the table.

"Even after I've said all this, you'll still check the classroom surveillance footage and ask the proctor. This is my admission ticket, so you can accurately retrieve the video recording."

Officer Yu glanced at it intently, took the admission ticket, and nodded, saying, "Okay, thank you for your cooperation."

"Can I go?"

"of course not."

"Oh, I thought this was the last sentence."

"So, what's your relationship with Zheng Qiran like?"

"It's a normal roommate relationship. She studies very hard, reading aloud in the morning and studying in the evening, leaving early and returning late, so we don't interact much."

Liu Sheng answered fluently, following He Tao's tone.

"What about her other roommates? What's their relationship with her like?"

"That's normal."

"And what about your relationship with your other roommates?"

A sentence that came out of nowhere.

Liu Sheng guessed that Long Yingxue and Lin Yue had spoken, but his expression remained unchanged:

"It was fine before, but things have been strange lately." "How so?"

"They'll peek at me."

Officer Yu carefully noted this down.

The counselor next to her said, "He Tao, has this affected your life? Should you see a school counselor?"

Liu Sheng frowned.

[Is this a case of doubting my imagination? It seems those two really did create a crazy image for me.]

He immediately shook his head: "No need."

The counselor nodded.

But Liu Sheng estimated that he would tell her counselor soon.

Then I asked some trivial questions, mainly about the details of her studies and life, and interspersed a few questions about He Tao's views and observations on Zheng Qiran.

Liu Sheng answered truthfully.

"Oh, right, she seems to have some kind of paranoia; you can tell by looking at how she arranges things."

Upon hearing this, Officer Yu immediately took out his phone and made the call.

"Did you move anything belonging to the deceased?... Oh, did you take pictures before moving it?... Hmm, yes, it's obvious you have ritualistic obsession, good."

Liu Sheng understood immediately; it seemed the police had already sent people to check the dormitory.

Not surprising, it was quite fast.

After the questioning ended, Liu Sheng was finally able to leave.

Her body is now starving.

I crammed at the last minute outside the exam hall after breakfast at 7 a.m. - basically just flipped through the vocabulary book from beginning to end and quickly memorized it. I didn't eat or drink anything for almost six hours until I was called in to take notes after the exam.

Before the canteen closed, Liu Sheng rushed over and quickly ate a few edible scraps from the limited leftovers.

Then he walked towards the dormitory.

On the way from the canteen back to the dormitory, I could hear students talking all over the place.

The name "Zheng Qiran" also appears repeatedly.

However, many people mispronounced or misremembered it.

It's getting a lot of attention now, but it's really just a topic of conversation during a boring college life.

After a while, I'm afraid I won't even remember this name.

All I remember is that "girl who broke down during her Level 12 exam and jumped off the exam hall."

Although Zheng Qiran doesn't need to take the Federal Language Level 12 exam at all.

Although Liu Sheng felt a little sad, he quickly put it aside.

It is now clear that He Tao is the prime suspect in Zheng Qiran's murder.

Putting that aside for now, the matter of the "Golden Crow" is still unresolved, and she can't figure out how it's related to "He Tao".

Based on past experience, two points can be summarized:
First, in higher-dimensional analysis, one often appears near the vessel of the obsession of ghosts or spirits, or even becomes the vessel;
Second, the time of entry should not be too far removed from the birth of this strange or spiritual object.

Based on these two points, she should start with those around her.

Thinking it over, Liu Sheng quickened her pace.

……

As Liu Sheng approached the dormitory, she heard whispers coming from inside.

The dormitory door was made of ordinary material, thin and not soundproof, so Lin Yue's voice came through clearly:
"What should we do? Should we apply to change dorm rooms?"

"We're almost graduating and we're only now changing dorms... Isn't that a bit strange? People might think we're guilty."

"But...I can't sleep with...I can't sleep with a murderer!"

"She might get arrested?"

The next second, the door lock clicked.

Liu Sheng pushed open the door and entered.

He quietly watched the two people inside the room.

Lin Yue and Long Yingxue seemed to be frozen in place.

The embarrassment and panic of being caught talking about someone behind their back was almost written all over his face.

Liu Sheng did not avoid the question.

They didn't pretend they didn't hear it.

She simply closed the door gently and locked it behind her.

With a "click," the two of them tensed up immediately.

His face was paler than a wall, and he sat so close to the back of the chair that he seemed to melt into it. He swallowed hard, his eyes filled with wariness.

As Liu Sheng slowly dragged his chair in front of the two of them, the harsh sound of metal scraping against the floor brought the fear in their eyes to its peak.

She slowly sat down, put down her light schoolbag containing her exam supplies, and looked at the two people huddled up like quails.

"I want to know what you told the police about me."

Lin Yue and Long Yingxue shuddered, exchanged a glance, their faces clearly saying, "How did she know?"

Liu Sheng sneered, "You don't need to know how I know, but the fact that I'm sitting here and haven't been taken away proves one thing—I didn't do anything at all, which is different from your wild guesses."

After Liu Sheng finished speaking, a hint of suspicion flashed in their eyes.

At this moment, the voice of "the world" rang out:

[OOC Index: 15%]

【What? 】

[You acted too smartly and calmly; they know He Tao's personality well, so they noticed you were out of character.]

Wait, what does OOC mean?

[Tsk, you call yourself a college student, studying a federal language, and you don't even know "Out of Character".]

Having spent most of the day surfing the internet, "World" was somewhat disgusted by Liu Sheng's old-fashioned ways.

Oh, so you're saying I strayed from role-playing.

That's right, if it reaches 60% or higher, an anomaly will be triggered. The higher it is, the more dangerous it becomes; you need to be careful.

【clear. 】

After the brief reminder, "the world" continued to be engrossed in Liu Sheng's phone.

If Lin Yue and Long Yingxue were to glance at Liu Sheng's phone at this moment, they would surely be terrified by the automatically and rapidly scrolling and opening pages.

The only problem is that the phone's chip is too poor to keep up with the browsing speed of "the world".

So he kept asking Liu Sheng if he could get a new phone.

However, Liu Sheng had no time to pay attention to its complaints at the moment.

Sheathing her cold, sharp edge, and adjusting herself to He Tao's personality, Liu Sheng's face flushed with a childlike anger, as if betrayed, and she said reproachfully:

"We get along so well, why do you doubt me and slander me like this!"

The words sounded like a complaint, but the expression was too stiff, revealing a sinister, treacherous intention, like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken, which sent chills down one's spine.

[OOC Index: 25%]

[Tsk! I've tried so hard!]

Keep up the good work!

Liu Sheng was furious and decided to give up the role.

However, at that moment, Long Yingxue on the other side finally spoke hesitantly:
"That's it...that's the feeling. We can't help it. It's because you've been acting really strange lately, isn't it?"

Someone finally spoke up, and Lin Yue also mustered up her courage: "Yes, look at you now, this, this appearance, you are really unfamiliar, you are not the He Tao we know at all."

“If we hadn’t tested your memory, we would have really suspected that you were possessed by some unclean thing!” Long Yingxue nodded and said seriously.

After saying that, I breathed a sigh of relief.

But then he subconsciously looked at Liu Sheng with wariness.

One hand stealthily reached behind the chair, while the other reached out onto the table, as if searching for something to defend themselves.

Liu Sheng did not stop her.

As the one who "congratulates Tao," one can't very well shout at someone to stop them, saying:
"Don't move! Put your hands up!"

Anyway, neither of them can beat me.

She simply frowned and asked in a calm and unhurried tone:

"Then tell me, what exactly is wrong with me?"

"And when did it start?"
