Chapter 932 A Golden Crow (Part 6)
Lin Yue and Long Yingxue lay in bed for an unknown amount of time before suddenly waking up, sitting up as if electrocuted at the same time.
"How come it's already six o'clock!"

"Didn't you just lie down a short while ago?!"

Looking down, "He Tao" was still staring at the computer, looking quite focused.

"Tao Tao, what are you doing? Are you still fiddling with that crack?" Lin Yue asked.

Long Yingxue mumbled, "Stop messing around, let's go eat, or there won't be any seats left in the cafeteria!"

Liu Sheng, who had spent the afternoon reading papers, stretched and replied refreshedly:
"okay."

"Anyway, I've already cracked it."

She was quite calm, as if she had just finished a homework assignment.

At the same time, they are quite frank.

Because some things are worth looking at.

It can earn you some trust.

"what?"

"How can it be!"

The two screamed in surprise, one after the other.

He quickly climbed out of bed, without even putting on his shoes, and went to look at Liu Sheng's computer.

On the computer screen, Zheng Qiran's email interface was clearly visible.

Then I also saw the rejection email.

Of course, I also saw that paper.

Although the lengthy and complex nature of the paper might be daunting to read, the topic itself is quite straightforward.

Neither of them were fools; in an instant, their hair stood on end, and a chill ran from the back of their necks straight to their foreheads.

"Zheng Qiran... what exactly did she do to you?" Lin Yue's voice trembled, her face deathly pale.

Liu Sheng shrugged: "I'd like to know too."

Long Yingxue subconsciously moved a few steps to the side, increasing the distance between herself and Liu Sheng.

Just then, Liu Sheng's computer finally gave out.

The screen went dark with a "buzz".

Three pale faces were projected onto the dark screen.

Both of them were frightened.

And He Tao's face...

They were truly pale and bloodless, almost not like living people.

However, at this moment, He Tao calmly said, "Let's go get something to eat."

"Aren't you...aren't you afraid?" Lin Yue asked hesitantly.

"How about... we go find the police officer?" Long Yingxue's voice trembled slightly.

In this era, the supernatural was not yet prevalent, so these two college students naturally felt that the whole thing was eerily unsettling.

For this reason, Liu Sheng shook his head and said, "We have no evidence."

"Yeah, the police probably won't believe in such supernatural things. They might even think we're all mentally unstable, or that our paranoia drove someone to their death..."

Hearing Lin Yue's words, Long Yingxue dared not say anything more.

The three walked silently toward the canteen.

Besides the fact that everyone has their own thoughts, what's even more painful is the suspicious gazes that constantly fall on them, sharp as knives.

Lin Yue and Long Yingxue ate absentmindedly, their chopsticks rummaging through their rice dishes, barely touching a few bites.

He Tao, on the other hand, ate very quickly, as if someone was urging her to die.

Lin Yue couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "In this kind of environment... can you still eat?"

Liu Sheng said calmly, "That's why we need to eat faster."

“That makes sense.” Long Yingxue nodded and ate a few more bites quickly.

"What's the point?" Lin Yue pouted. "I have to go to a lecture later, it's practically a collective trial. I don't want to rush over there."

However, as they were talking, they looked up and saw that "He Tao" had finished eating and was about to leave with her plate.

The two lost their appetite and hurriedly picked up their plates to catch up.

As they walked out of the canteen together, they realized that "He Tao" was not heading towards the teaching building, but instead was going around to the dormitory area.

"Where are you going? Aren't you going to the lecture?" Lin Yue called out quickly.

"I already asked my counselor for leave this afternoon," Liu Sheng said without turning her head.

"You asked for leave? She actually agreed?" "I told her that I was emotionally unstable because I witnessed Zheng Qiran's death. She didn't ask any questions, just told me to get some rest."

"Damn it, we want to take leave too!" Lin Yue said enviously.

“But if we ask for help at the last minute, the counselor will most likely not agree…” Long Yingxue said with a bitter face.

The two were still whispering to each other, but Liu Sheng had already stopped paying attention and walked straight to the dormitory without stopping.

I checked it just before I left, and the computer isn't completely broken.

So she decided to go back and continue to immerse herself in the vast ocean of CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure).

"What an amazing and wonderful website!" she exclaimed.

I'm going to get one of those on Skynet when I get back!

However, the pricing model needs to be changed, otherwise it really becomes a knowledge monopoly...

Thinking of this, I quickened my pace.

Before her laptop completely broke down, she wanted to quickly read a few more papers and study the logical architecture of CNKI so she could build a pirated version when she got back.

But as he reached the dormitory door, his hurried steps suddenly stopped, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

There are sounds coming from inside the house.

The dormitory room was clearly locked, but a low whispering sound could be heard coming from inside.

It was a whispering sound similar to that of Lin Yue and Long Yingxue, but this time it was impossible to understand what they were saying. It was indistinct and didn't seem to belong to any language that Liu Sheng was familiar with. It sounded like a murmur from a dream.

A sense of unease crept into my heart.

Liu Sheng squinted, took out the key, and inserted it into the lock.

The moment the "click" sounded, the murmurs inside the room stopped abruptly.

It was as if the intruders realized their master had returned and quickly retreated.

She grasped the doorknob and gently pushed it open.

Darkness rushed in.

In Liu Sheng's eyes, the darkness was even thicker than usual.

With barely perceptible human vision, one could vaguely make out a dark figure sitting on the bed, but it was indistinct, like a visual illusion caused by light being swallowed up.

I want to see it clearly.

However, just as the eyeballs in his hair were about to pop out, they were stopped by a strong warning that suddenly rose in his heart.

Something is watching you.

【I know. 】

[One cannot act unusually when under someone's gaze, which implies that the visibility of that gaze is greater than that of a person.]

In other words, this thing is not human.

Liu Sheng took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to take action.

He slowly walked into the house and reached for the light switch.

But what I touched first was something wet.

Cold and soft, like the hand of a corpse.

But as soon as Liu Sheng touched him, the other person recoiled as if electrocuted.

Snap.

The lights are on.

The flickering incandescent lights illuminated the dormitory.

In that intermittent light and shadow, Liu Sheng seemed to see a figure sitting on each bed, looking down at her.

The dormitory walls were no longer the familiar snow-white, but covered with old floral wallpaper, yellowed, mottled, and covered with mold; even the beds were not the metal kind, but wooden beds with mottled paint and yellowed mosquito nets, as if we had traveled to another era.

But all of this lasted only a moment.

As the light from the incandescent bulbs stabilized, the dormitory was brightly lit.

Snow-white walls, four empty beds.

It was as if nothing had happened.

But Liu Sheng knew that it was not an illusion.

She looked down at the spot of bright red blood on her finger.

Turning my head to look at the light switch, I saw a bloody handprint clearly imprinted on it.
