Chapter 139: Feng Yuhuai, I Want to Play a Game with You

~7 min read 1,319 words

Gong Qi followed Feng Mu's instructions, simply edited a text message, then asked suspiciously: "Will this work?"

Feng Mu said with an airy indifference: "My little sister is cunning, cunning; ordinary tricks won't work on her, she won't easily take the bait, so, for a liar, it's better to tell her the truth than to deceive her."

Gong Qi was greatly enlightened: "Junior brother makes sense."

Feng Mu said modestly: "The truth is always easier to pierce through a person's heart than lies!"

Gong Qi savored these words, an inexplicable gleam flashed in his pupils, then he heavily tapped the send key.

…….

No. 8 Middle School, girls' dormitory.

Several girls who had finished a day of study and practice lay on their respective beds, quietly discussing the various strange events happening at the school recently.

"Ya Zhi died so miserably, really, I never thought the corpse in the restroom would be Ya Zhi."

"Right, Ya Zhi was usually such a good person, friendly to everyone; several times when I rushed home after school, Ya Zhi did the duty shift for me."

"Hey, who says otherwise; once I had a fever and didn't come to class, Ya Zhi even did a test paper for me to hand in, otherwise, I might have failed the course."

".... Right, Ya Zhi was such a good person, who on earth is so ruthless, able to lay a hand on Ya Zhi."

"The constables at the Patrol Bureau are all useless; it's been so long and they still haven't caught the murderer."

"A few days ago, they came to the school every day to investigate and question; I thought they'd solve the case soon, but, heh, they haven't even caught a shadow of the murderer, and instead dug up another corpse in the cafeteria; simply ridiculous."

"Let me tell you, I heard the murderer seems to be hiding in our school; who do you think the murderer is, and why do they..."

Zhang Liyou suddenly sat up from the bed, pulled open the light, and looked at the girls in the same room with reddened eye sockets, saying:

"I don't care why; if I run into the murderer, I'll beat him to death, twist his head off, and avenge Ya Zhi."

A girl's voice sounded softly, with a bit of timidity and worry:

"Two people have already been murdered; we shouldn't be too impulsive. If we really encounter the murderer, we should flee immediately and notify the Patrol Bureau to catch him as soon as possible; that's safer."

Another girl's voice had no timidity at all, only revealing a sense of helplessness and a wry smile:

"The Patrol Bureau has turned the school upside down, but still can't catch the murderer. Even if we really run into him, who can recognize that murderer? Maybe we'd even smile and greet him."

Zhang Liyou clutched the quilt tightly, her brow furrowed, she turned her head and glared at Feng Yuhuai on the opposite bed with eyes like torches, emotionally questioning: "Yuhuai, tell me, if it were you, what would you do?"

Half of Feng Yuhuai's face was covered by the quilt; hearing Zhang Liyou's words, she slowly pulled open the quilt, revealing a face marked by exhaustion.

As the quilt moved, a red rag doll slid out from the quilt; she gently picked it up and held it tightly in her arms.

Her voice carried three parts sorrow and seven parts calm, slowly saying:

"Liyou, don't be too impulsive. I naturally want to avenge Ya Zhi too, but just as Cui Cui and Xiao Juan said, we may not be able to match the murderer, and most importantly, even if we really encounter the murderer, we may not be able to recognize him."

Feng Yuhuai paused slightly, a hint of depth flashed in her eyes, then she continued:

"Since the Patrol Bureau speculates the murderer is hiding on campus, maybe when we eat at the cafeteria at noon, we've sat side by side with him at the same table and eaten together."

Xiao Juan, the girl whose voice carried timidity, couldn't help but shiver, responding with a slightly trembling voice: "Yuhuai, it's so late, don't tell this kind of horror story; I dare not sleep now."

Cui Cui laughed softly, speaking teasingly:

"Xiao Juan, you're too timid; the four of us are the ones who squeeze together to eat at the cafeteria every day. You don't really think the murderer is among us, do you? Haha, Yuhuai was just making a metaphor; don't scare yourself."

Xiao Juan's complexion gradually eased; she smiled foolishly and nodded.

Feng Yuhuai helplessly chuckled, softly agreeing: "Right, I was just making a metaphor. Okay, don't think too much; go to sleep quickly; there's morning class tomorrow."

After speaking, Feng Yuhuai turned her gaze gently toward Zhang Liyou, softly sighed, then said in an even gentler tone:

"Okay, Liyou, don't dwell on it anymore. We all miss Ya Zhi very much and all hope to avenge her. But we must also pay attention to our own safety, and the Patrol Bureau is certainly more professional and capable than us in solving cases. We should trust them."

Zhang Liyou's eye sockets were slightly red; her expression looked somewhat stubborn.

After pondering for a moment, Feng Yuhuai gently crawled out of her own quilt, then tiptoed onto Zhang Liyou's bed.

She held Zhang Liyou gently like coaxing a child, softly comforting:

"The school really isn't very safe lately; when you go to and from class, eat, or even go to the restroom, it's best to call me to go with you. Definitely don't take risks alone; our dormitory has already lost one Ya Zhi; we can't lose anyone else."

After hearing these words, Zhang Liyou's expression gradually softened; she turned off the light, crawled back into the quilt, buried her head tightly against Feng Yuhuai's chest, and whimpered as she sobbed.

As time passed, her sobbing gradually weakened; finally, in Feng Yuhuai's warm embrace, she slowly fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing Zhang Liyou coaxed to sleep, Feng Yuhuai gently lowered her head and sniffed the faint shampoo scent on Zhang Liyou's hair with her nose; it was a fresh and pleasant fragrance that she liked very much.

In the quilt, the red rag doll squeezed between the two of them strangely licked its tongue, as if it also enjoyed the warm scent in the quilt.

Buzz buzz buzz—

The slight vibration of the mobile phone gently broke the quiet that intoxicated her.

Feng Yuhuai slightly furrowed her brow and carefully took out her mobile phone from the quilt.

The screen showed a text message from a strange and bizarre number; her brow couldn't help but furrow tighter, a trace of annoyance surged in her heart, and she unhesitatingly prepared to delete it with one tap and add that number to the blacklist.

Since last night until today, her mobile phone seemed to be possessed, constantly receiving dozens of inexplicable text messages.

Every text message, once opened, came with some incomprehensible links, making Feng Yuhuai feel both confused and uneasy.

Her finger lightly tapped the screen, preparing to delete the text message and blacklist that number; however, at that very moment, her finger suddenly froze in midair.

Immediately, her complexion turned as pale as paper in an instant, losing all color; her originally calm eyes trembled and contracted, as if through the screen she had seen a horror story that struck straight at the heart.

——Hello, Feng Yuhuai, I want to play a game with you!

——Or should I call you 【Mask】? Hee hee hee, but, you don't need to be afraid; there are still 48 hours left before you are exposed; you still have a chance.

——You have a chance to change yourself, change your fate, but whether you can make the right choice, only 【Link】 can give the answer!!!
