Having devoted myself to guiding souls, I was surrounded by them after my death.

He knew that Nanjing University was full of talented people, but this was the first time he had seen such a relaxed atmosphere.

"Uh... classmate? What were you doing next to me just now?" Chen Shi asked.

"Nothing, just curious what kind of guy like you would like." The girl swayed her long legs slightly, her voice bright.

Tsk, you're really good at talking. Now I'm too embarrassed to blame you for reading my study materials.

"Are you a freshman?" The girl's face drew closer.

"Ah."

Chen Shi nodded, even though it was already the second semester and he could no longer be considered a "freshman".

"Oh, then I'm your senior. My name is Su Yining, what's your name?"

Su Yining grinned, her face flushed, her enthusiasm radiating warmth and light, and she was very outgoing.

"Chen Shi, Chen as in old, Shi as in time," Chen Shi introduced himself.

Who can blame me when the other person is a hot senior?

"So, a handsome young man like you actually prefers older women?" Su Yining's eyebrows curved, her willow-leaf eyes filled with a deep smile.

"Your vision is too narrow."

Chen Shi answered aloud, but thought to himself:

Why are we suddenly talking about this kind of topic? Senior, didn't we just meet a minute ago? You should start with your family of origin, then build rapport, and finally bring up some personal topics.

Also, I don't just like older men.

Seeing that Chen Shi's reaction was somewhat indifferent, Su Yining tilted her head slightly, crossed her beautiful legs, and muttered:

"Is this kind of topic no longer popular? I remember the boys in my class loved talking about it back then..."

Suddenly, her red eyes lit up, and she jumped off the table.

"I have to go now, junior. Let's chat again when you're free!"

Without warning, Su Yining suddenly shouted, tossed her hair, and a few streaks of red highlights rose like flames as she rushed to the wall, her dashing air as if she were about to save the world.

Although it seems like we've gone in the wrong direction.

"Senior, the library entrance is on the other side..."

Before Chen Shi could finish speaking, Su Yining braced herself against the windowsill with one hand and climbed out of the library through the window.

Chen Shi: "???"

A vibrant red color disappeared by the window, and Su Yining's clear voice rang out:

"Junior, your study materials are too messy. I've organized them into folders by type for you. Bye~"

Chen Shi was stunned.

Supplementary exchange.

Su Yining shouted something so exciting, yet no one in the library turned around. Did they really think they were talking about study materials?

Moreover, his phone was password protected. How did Su Yining manage to see and organize it?

Before he could think it through, a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder:

"Chen Shi, what are you staring at in a daze?"

Turning around, he saw a boy who was a bit taller than him, with a buzz cut, and was a senior member of the club.

"Teacher Wu said that there are some sports equipment in the swimming pool, and asked us to move them out and move them to the gymnasium."

"Okay, sure."

Chen Shi got up and followed them towards the swimming pool.

After receiving the "death warning," he felt that sitting idly was not an option, nor was taking any initiative to do anything, so he simply chose to go with the flow and adapt to the situation.

His mission remains unchanged: to find the "cause of death" and continue searching for the three malevolent spirits.

After deciding what he needed to do, Chen Shi walked towards the swimming pool with his senior.

He had heard a little about this swimming pool.

It's said that an accident happened at this swimming pool before, and someone died. It closed down after that and was used to store miscellaneous items. But with another summer approaching, they're planning to clean it up and reopen it.

Moreover, he has the ability to see ghosts and has gone to the swimming pool alone a few times, but he didn't see anything unclean.

The cause of his death remains a mystery.

Recalling that fiery and sassy senior from earlier, Chen Shi asked:

"Senior, do you know a senior named Su Yining?"

"Who did you say?" The senior student suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Su Yining".

Chen Shi repeated himself, saying:

"Before you came, I chatted with her for a bit and she seemed like a strange person."

"Su Yining, did you chat with her for a few minutes? Chen Shi, you must be joking."

The senior's expression suddenly turned grim.

The next sentence made Chen Shi's brain buzz instantly.

“Su Yining died three years ago.”

"?"

Chen Shi felt that he had tinnitus.

Was that senior student Ling?

How can it be?

Since he first developed the ability to see ghosts, he has never seen a spirit that is no different from a "human".

But if it's a spirit, then all the strange questions just now can be explained.

Why does no one notice Su Yining? Why does Su Yining have such a relaxed demeanor?

Because she is not a living person.

"Stop scaring people. I'm tired of hearing these ghost stories. What about the ghost senior suddenly appearing? Don't make jokes like that next time."

The senior student clearly didn't want to talk about this anymore, so he quickened his pace and went outside the swimming pool, saying:

"You move your things out and leave them at the entrance. I'll take care of moving them to the stadium."

"walk slowly."

Chen Shi accepted the fact that "Su Yining is a ghost" in just 0.01 seconds.

At first, he suspected that his "death" might be related to Su Yining, since he was all too familiar with the evil spirits that harmed people.

But upon closer reflection, that hot female senior didn't seem like a malevolent spirit at all.

Moreover, if she wanted to kill him, she had plenty of opportunities to do so.

Anyway, no one can see her.

As he pondered, Chen Shi entered the swimming pool.

As soon as I pushed open the door, a chill seeped into my skin.

The swimming pool is dark, and even in summer it feels a bit chilly inside.

There was no light in the enclosed space because it had been abandoned for a long time and the building still had no electricity.

The spacious swimming pool was covered with a layer of murky gray, and the corners of the pool were piled with old life rings and lounge chairs covered with thick dust. The messy clutter was piled up in layers, making the space cramped and oppressive.

The air was thick with the smell of disinfectant mixed with dampness and mildew, making one feel suffocated. A breeze came in through the vents, and despite it being summer, it felt chilly.

However, for Chen Shi, who has been able to see spirits since childhood, this scene was not even considered eerie.

After all, he had seen the real thing.

Unsurprisingly, he moved some miscellaneous items outside the building, making several trips back and forth, without anything unusual happening.

Currently, the most problematic person today is that hot female senior.

He continued moving things, shadows lurking deep within the pile of debris, a solitary mannequin standing in the half-hidden darkness.

"Why are even the chemistry lab's stuff moved here?"

Chen Shi looked at the human model in front of him and patted the dust off his hands.

The left half of the plastic skin had a deathly white matte finish, while the right half revealed exposed muscle structure. The model was covered in dust, its limbs hung stiffly at its sides, its neck was slightly tilted, and its empty eye sockets had no pupils, staring straight at the empty swimming pool.

"rustle……"

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from behind.

Chen Shi turned around abruptly, but there was nothing behind him.

A few seconds later, a mouse scurried past.

"Nanjing University... even if it's abandoned, at least they should send someone to clean it regularly. The rats have made it their home."

Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought I was going to die.

However, right behind him, the mannequin had somehow changed position.

They were just in the corner, but now they're standing behind me.

The model slowly raised its hand, and then suddenly stabbed its back with the plastic arm!

"Uh!?"

Chen Shi's pupils widened suddenly, and a sharp, tearing pain shot through his chest.

Slowly lowering his head, he saw a plastic arm piercing through his chest from behind, emerging straight out of his left ribcage, clutching a still-beating heart in its hand.

My breathing became rapid, each breath amplifying the pain several times over. A metallic taste rose in my throat, and my vision began to go black.

As the mannequin's hand was removed from its chest, Chen Shi's limbs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, blood beginning to flow from his chest.

The cause of death was this anatomical model.

Chen Shi's vision became increasingly blurry, and his consciousness grew more and more confused. In his daze, a bright red light rushed into his eyes.

It's Su Yining.

Su Yining moved swiftly, spinning around, twisting her waist, and kicking her long leg like a whip, sending the mannequin flying.

"Oh no, I'm too late... Wait, it's you!"

In the last few seconds before his vision dimmed and his consciousness completely vanished, he could see Su Yining rushing up anxiously, shouting:

"Junior, junior!"

"Look at me, hey! Junior!"

"Don't die... learn from... you..."

……

My consciousness went completely black.

he died.

……

A few seconds later, as if waking from a dream, the chaotic consciousness slowly cleared, and the vision began to focus.

The senior's face reappeared before my eyes, his expression extremely unpleasant.

The familiar words rang out again:

“Su Yining died three years ago.”

Chen Shi gasped, his palms trembling, and touched his chest.

There was no bloody hole in his chest, and his heart was still beating.

what's the situation?
