Xiao Meng stared blankly at the fat policeman opposite him, his mind a complete blank.

  "I don't know what's going on, but I really only received one phone call."

  The fat policeman stared at Xiao Mo for a while before speaking again:

  "What did the deceased say to you on the phone?"

  “……”

  Leaving the police station, Xiao Mo found that the heavy rain had stopped, but the sky was still overcast with dark clouds, and the gloomy cloud clusters were twisted together like a distorted human face.

  Looks like that person's face is somewhat familiar, who is it? It seems... it seems to be the class advisor!

  "Rumble!"

  The sky and earth once again echoed with the terrifying sound of thunder, Xiao Muo's mouth slightly opened, his facial expression extremely strange, as if he had thought of something frightening once more.

  He shook his head vigorously and then dragged his leaden legs, one step at a time, towards home.

  Xiao Mo thought this storm would pass quickly, but who would have thought that everything was only just beginning.

  On the second day after Zhang Youshan's death, the police announced to the outside world that Zhang Youshan was not murdered, but died of suicide. As for this result, Xiao Mo naturally did not believe it at all. Would Zhang Youshan hang himself on such a high flagpole? This is simply impossible.

  But the teachers at school, as well as most of the students, seemed to accept this conclusion with a smile. In the entire campus, only their classmates were dismissive of this conclusion. In this extremely strange atmosphere, Xiao Mu sensed that something was not right, as if their class did not belong to this campus.

  In the following days, the tragedy continued to unfold on campus. First, the class monitor was found strangled on the flagpole, and then two female classmates were successively found dead on the flagpole.

  Including Zhang You-shan, in Xiao Mo's class, four people died on the more than 10-meter-high flagpole. The dead were all extremely miserable, their bodies were all pierced by the flagpole into a human meat skewer.

  The entire class was shrouded in the shadow of death, every student was on tenterhooks, fearing that their own corpse would be found on the flagpole the next day. The most infuriating thing was the police's brain-dead investigation result, all were ruled as suicides!

  Facing the police and even the school's indifferent attitude, most people in the class chose to leave the school. Anyone can see that Zhang Youshan and others died so mysteriously that there must be a problem, but such an obvious thing, the school and the police just couldn't see it, and insisted that they were suicides. If they stayed here any longer, they would really be courting death.

  Before leaving, Classmate Lin walked in front of the class and held a class meeting. The content of the meeting was about the tragic death that had occurred in recent days.

  Chang Lengfeng was a tall and imposing figure, but his appearance didn't match his stature. He had a scholar's face with an old-fashioned pair of glasses perched on the bridge of his nose.

  He stood in front of the stage with a very serious expression and said in a low voice to the crowd behind him:

  Recently, a series of distressing incidents have occurred in our class, but the school and police have been evasive about the matter, clearly showing that they do not care about our lives. I ask you, how many people can climb up a flagpole over ten meters high? And how many people can get their entire body through after climbing up?

  This is completely unreasonable thing, can actually be called suicide!

  There were students from other classes who also died in the same way, four people died continuously in the campus within four days, and not a single person suspected anything! It's terrifying just thinking about it!"

  Chang Lengfeng's emotions were very unstable, and it was clear that his heart was also filled with panic, to the point where this usually gentle and refined class leader suddenly burst out in a loud and coarse manner.

  The crowd below fell into silence, they actually had the same view on this matter. Haven't eaten pork and haven't seen a pig run? Although no one has seen a ghost, no one has confirmed that there are ghosts in this world, but horror movies are something everyone has watched. The bizarre death of Zhang You-shan's four people can't help but be compared to the vengeful spirits killing people in horror movies, it's simply too similar.

  And for the police, school authorities, and even other classmates' indifference, it's not hard to imagine that there is a force interfering with the world in the dark, so that the police can come up with such a ridiculous conclusion.

  Xiao Mo had also thought carefully about it, the death event only occurred in their class, the rhythm of death was one person dying every day, the location of death was always on the flagpole on the playground, and the way of death, as well as the appearance of death were all being pierced through the body by the flagpole, like a skewer of meat.

  If we say that there is a murderer in this incident, then the murderer must also have a connection with their class, otherwise they would not only target students in their class. Moreover, judging from the way those people died and the posture of death, it should all be done by the same murderer.

  Thinking this way, the problem arises again. Including Zhang Youshan and several others, they are not only very popular in the class, but also never quarrel with anyone, especially their instructor, who is extremely friendly when dealing with classmates, making it highly unlikely that they would commit murder out of revenge.

  If it wasn't a vendetta, then there are only two possibilities left: killing for money and killing out of passion. However, since these people all came from ordinary families, the possibility of killing for money is also unlikely. The victims included both males and females, instructors and students, so the possibility of killing out of passion is almost non-existent as well. Finally, if it was a psychopathic murder, then they wouldn't have only killed students from the same class, so this possibility can be ruled out too.

  If we think about this issue from this angle, then the four dead people can only be suicides. However, the conditions for their suicide are obviously not established, at least they absolutely cannot commit suicide in that way.

  Under this extremely contradictory thinking, Xiao Mo thought of those vengeful ghosts in horror movies, perhaps only they have such motivation.

  "Cough...cough..."

  Thinking of this, Xiao Mu's face turned pale and he started coughing again. The sound of "coughing" also broke the silence at this time. Chang Lengfeng in front of the stage sighed at this time, and saw him with tears in his eyes saying to everyone:

  "If you choose to leave like this, don't you feel regretful? Don't you think it's unfair to the dead? They were our teachers, our classmates with whom we spent every day, but they died unjustly!"

  "The police won't clear their names, and the school doesn't care either. Are we supposed to be heartless too?"

  If what Chang Lengfeng said were spoken in ancient times, many people would have been willing to sacrifice their lives for it and would have been stirred to action by his words. But this is not the ancient past, and there are not so many simple-minded people around who would be moved by such rhetoric. They all have their own worries and no one has the leisure to bother about a few dead men.

  As expected, after Leng Feng's words were finished, all sorts of discordant voices appeared from behind.

  "Aren't you sick? The police and school don't care, why should we? Besides, they're already dead. What we need to worry about now is whether the killer will strike again!"

  "Class monitor, if you want to speak up for them, we won't stop you. But we're not familiar with those people, don't drag us into this, we still want to live a few more years."

  "Yeah, he's really something, just knowing him for a year and living together every day, what a load of crap about living together every day!"

  “……”

  His body trembled slightly, and at this moment he seemed to have seen the most hideous thing in the world. Those faces full of malice, those words without any emotion, were like a sharp knife, wantonly stirring his soul.

  Like others, Xiao Mo also found Chang Lengfeng quite ridiculous. At his age, he was still allowing emotions to cloud his judgment. The current situation could be said to be very clear-cut now. Staying in school would absolutely be more harmful than beneficial, because all the evidence pointed to the fact that the murderer was likely to be a malevolent spirit!

  That's not something that secular powers can control, nor is it an existence that these students with no ability to tie a chicken can contend with. Temporarily staying away from this school is the wisest course of action for now.

  Although he felt guilty for the death of his good friend Zhang You-shan and was curious about the truth behind this incident, he still did not intend to intervene in this matter. After all, when faced with life, those things were too insignificant, just like most people's thoughts, he also wanted to live a few more years.

  After a brief silence, Leng Feng finally spoke out the reason why they were left behind.

  "I want to investigate this matter clearly, but the power of an individual is limited, so I hope to get your help. Those who are willing to help me please stay, those who are not willing please leave."

  "If I had known this earlier, I would have left long ago."

  "Yes, wasting my time..."

  Along with these murmurs of discontent, most people chose to leave, and Xiao Mo was naturally among them. However, when he turned back to look, he made a somewhat unexpected discovery - Huang Liang was still sitting in his seat, unmoving, apparently intending to stay behind and investigate the matter.

  Huang Liang also looked over at him, his eyes mixed with disappointment. Seeing this, Xiao Mo hastily withdrew his gaze and quickly walked out of the classroom.
