In the following days, several people continued to try and stop the dead from entering the school, but all failed. It was clear that this method could not prevent their deaths.
As for the investigation into the source of this incident, there have been no gains in recent days, as if everything suddenly appeared and there was no so-called cause and effect.
As of today, fifteen people in the class have died, all of whom are on that death list, and the order of death is generally consistent with what was recorded above. This once again proves the authenticity of the list and the irreversibility of this incident!
Xiao Meng sat in front of the computer, constantly tapping on the keyboard. He was still searching online for related content, hoping to find some clues. However, no matter how he searched, all the information he saw was the same - it only mentioned that 15 people had died, not 20 or 21.
Now there are two different versions of the story, one from the five people and another from Xiao Mo himself. The content they investigated is the same, but what they saw is slightly different. This question has also been torturing Xiao Mo for days, he doesn't believe that the same event can have two versions.
The reason for this difference can only be one: one side is seeing an illusion.
Xiao Mo firmly believed that what he saw was real, after all, trusting others is far less reliable than trusting oneself.
Twisting his neck, Xiao Mo stared at the blue screen with a gloomy expression. According to the usual cold and ruthless rule, midnight today was his time of death, and he would follow in the footsteps of other dead people, dying miserably on the flagpole.
If Chang Lengfeng also died, then isn't what the few people who saw him said true? Or does it prove that even if you're not on the death list, you'll still die?
Another two different results appeared, Xiao Mo suddenly felt very powerless, this investigation should have been done by the police. The mysterious person had not made a move since that threatening text message, Xiao Mo suspected that the mysterious person was hiding somewhere and paying attention to him in secret. As for the purpose of the mysterious person, or even the authenticity of the content of the text message, he was too lazy to think about it anymore, after all, he hadn't encountered any danger these days.
But he vowed that he would definitely dig out that bastard!
Xiao Mu calmed down for a while, then suddenly thought of something and started typing on the keyboard again. This time, he didn't limit his search to just this incident, but expanded it to the entire school.
"Case related to Luohe School."
As soon as Xiao Mo pressed enter, a string of information bars immediately appeared on the screen, with the first one being the incident they had encountered. The title above was quite intriguing:
"The second year class B of Luohe School was cursed, all fifteen students in the class committed suicide..."
"Isn't our class supposed to have twenty people? Why are there only fifteen?"
Xiao Mu muttered in doubt and continued reading.
More than 40 cases, the vast majority of which were minor incidents such as fights and thefts. Only two cases were unusual and abnormal. One was the case of 15 people committing suicide, and the other was a missing person case.
It's unclear whether it's a coincidence or something else, but every year at Luohe School there is a case of someone going missing, and the ones who go missing are always second-year students. One second they might still be there, but the next second they can't be found again.
As of this year, there have been five similar missing persons cases, and the missing individuals are: Chang Lengfeng, Zhang Da, Qin Youru, Chen Qing... and Huang Liang!
When Xiao Mo saw the names of Chang Lengfeng and others, he almost shouted out loud, and his mind also appeared the scene of him borrowing a mobile phone from Chang Lengfeng and others that day. He still remembered that Chang Lengfeng used an old-fashioned flip phone, while Zhang Da and others used phones that were not very fashionable, they were all old models from previous years, only Huang Liang and he used smart phones.
At that time, he didn't think much of it, after all, there are always some people who aren't used to smartphones, but now it seems it's not the case.
"The entire class of 15 students in Class B, Year Two, committed suicide; every year for the past five years, one student from Year Two has gone missing; names that don't exist on the death list; they're different from what I've investigated... Could it be that the truth is..."
Thinking of his terrible conjecture, Xiao Mo was suddenly frightened and felt a chill run down his spine. He thought that there was a ghostly presence lurking behind him, staring at him with malice. Xiao Mo hastily turned around in terror, fortunately, there was nothing behind him.
He finally believed the mysterious man's words, if everything was true as he had speculated, choosing to be selfish would lead to a dead end, and it would be an endless death.
Chang Lengfeng sat there with empty eyes, his face had long lost its usual radiance, leaving only deep despair. This day would finally arrive, and in a few hours, his fate would be announced.
The classroom was eerily quiet, with everyone's mood extremely heavy. The heated discussion from the previous days had long since disappeared without a trace. No one spoke, only weak sighs could be heard.
Xiao Mo did not share his speculation with a few people, because this speculation was difficult for them to accept, and saying it out might lead to even worse consequences. Unless it reached the point where he had no choice but to say it, he would keep it secret forever.
At this time, Huang Liang patted his shoulder and said with full expectation:
"Do you have any other way? Today it's the class monitor's turn."
Several people, including Leng Feng, also raised their heads at this time and focused their attention on Xiao Mo's face. After all, in their eyes, Xiao Mo was the only variable in this incident, the only survivor, so they all thought that only Xiao Mo could help them survive.
But in fact, it's not like that. However, if Xiao Mo wants to survive, he still has to rely on them. In a way, they are all ants on the same string.
Xiao Mo hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then thought for a while before saying:
"Time is pressing, wanting to investigate the source of this incident and solve it is no longer realistic. What we can do now is only to avoid entering the teaching building and cut off that flagpole."
"Haven't the lessons from the other day been enough? This is fundamentally something we can't stop, but cutting off the flagpole might still be possible."
"Not necessarily." Xiao Mo negated Zhang Da's view and then listened to his explanation.
"Previously, all those people chose to leave school without exception, and whether they really returned to China is also unknown. So there is a possibility here. That is, after they left school, they were actually killed, and what we saw later was just their ghost."
Don't think it's unreasonable, is there anything that has happened so far that makes sense? Moreover, only a ghost can enter the school silently and pass through the locked teaching building door without any obstacles.
Several people who heard this also felt that there was some truth to it. Otherwise, even if they were controlled by a certain power, their bodies would not be able to exceed the bounds of human beings.
Xiao Mu's words made Chang Lengfeng look at him with a glimmer of hope again, and he also carefully asked:
"So you're saying I'm not allowed to enter the school or the teaching building?"
"Alright then. But we'll have to work together in two groups. One group will stop you, and the other will go cut down that flagpole."
"No way!"
Xiao Xiao's stern refusal made Xiao Mo's heart skip a beat, and he asked back:
"Why not?"
"In short, we can't cut down that flagpole, not only because it's hard to cut down, but also because I have a bad feeling about it."
"To be honest, I also think it's better if we don't touch that thing." Qin You Ru, who had been silent the whole time, nodded in agreement.
"I also agree, I always feel that if it's cut off, something terrible will happen." Huang Liang also advised Xiao Mo.
"Alright then."
Xiao Mo knew that a few people's experiences were different from his, and perhaps they had encountered something terrifying before, so he didn't insist either. He nodded slightly to indicate that he accepted their suggestion.
In this way, the two plans are left with only one, and the problem returns to the starting point again. How can we prevent Chang Lengfeng from entering the school?
"In a little while, I'll buy some rope and then we'll tie the class president up in a place far away from school. Then, all of us will watch him together. With so many safety nets in place, perhaps it's possible to prevent that power from drawing the class president into school."
"It's like this for now."
"Alright, let's make haste and split up to act separately, first get the ropes ready."
