Chapter 1258: Caught Mu Xinruan

Mu Xinruan had her own room; Ning Chen had specifically placed her in a corner, while Huo Jinglin, Noah, and Gu Yanqi took turns staying in rooms beside the staircase, along her unavoidable path, waiting for Mu Xinruan to act.

And an uninvited guest had also come to Ning Chen's room—Lin Xiaoling.

Of course, his room held not only Lin Xiaoling, but also Lin Yi.

Lin Xiaoling looked altogether anxious, sitting on the chair in a daze.

"It's so late; what do you want with me?" Ning Chen poured Lin Xiaoling a cup of tea.

This tea had been taken from the RV.

Lin Xiaoling took a sip; the aroma instantly filled her mouth, and she gradually calmed down.

"Huff, there is indeed something, it's just... I don't know whether I should say it." Lin Xiaoling's face was full of conflict.

Ning Chen looked at her and asked, "Is it about Mu Xinruan?"

Hearing these words, Lin Xiaoling's eyes instantly widened: "How did you know?!"

Ning Chen and Lin Yi exchanged a glance; it seemed their initial guess was probably nine out of ten correct.

Perhaps realizing she had been too agitated, Lin Xiaoling calmed herself, then slowly spoke: "I feel, I feel that Ruanruan is a bit off, as if... she has been possessed by something."

Lin Xiaoling carefully recounted the strangeness she had noticed: first, in the dead of night, Mu Xinruan had secretly gotten out of bed, run to the city wall, and done who knows what.

At the time, Lin Xiaoling had simply thought Mu Xinruan was sleepwalking; on the way back, she tried to wake Mu Xinruan.

But Mu Xinruan looked at her coldly and even asked whether she had seen anything.

Only after repeatedly confirming that she had seen nothing did Mu Xinruan let her go.

"I feel that if I hadn't truly seen nothing at that moment, my life probably would not have been safe; at that time, her gaze was simply too cold."

Next, Lin Xiaoling brought up past events, but she found that Mu Xinruan showed no reaction at all, as if she remembered nothing.

This situation was utterly impossible; those were major events that she and Mu Xinruan had experienced together; it was impossible not to remember them.

From that moment on, Lin Xiaoling began to observe Mu Xinruan; after observing for a day, she discovered that Mu Xinruan was truly different—many old little habits and the like were all gone, and she even frequently stared blankly for no reason.

If before it was merely strange, now she was truly certain: Mu Xinruan was not the Ruanruan she knew.

You must know that Mu Xinruan hated meaningless staring the most; in her words, that was wasting life, and wasting life was very shameful.

"I, I don't even know what to do; I feel that if this goes on, Ruanruan will truly become completely unrecognizable."

Lin Xiaoling shivered, a bit frightened.
