Book 2: Chapter 5: The wealthy family’s daughter

The next day, Xiao Xia made another trip to the school. The schools president felt this matter would probably end up in court and thus strongly suggested Xiao Xia take another look at the scene. However, she only arrived at four in the afternoon. There was no choice since her original inheritance dispute case was coming to a close so she was extremely busy. Luckily it was around September and there was still a lot of daylight left, making Xiao Xia a little less scared.

The president took her to look around, starting from the scene of the third case. Actually, there werent any clues at all. It was just the large mirror facing the main buildings front doors. Xiao Xia didnt refuse because she wanted to see if the yesterdays vision was still there.

The answer was yes.

She still felt the pair of eyes that had no eyelids or eye sockets, with blood red pupils whose gaze followed her like a shadow. It gave off the feeling that it was monitoring her, and harbored ill intentions. Unless she left the mirrors surroundings, that feeling would remain with her. She didnt know if she was the only one who sensed this, and indirectly sounded out the school presidents feelings. However, this old man didnt feel anything at all. He merely sighed continuously with furrowed brows. This made Xiao Xia realize even more that ignorance was bliss, and the ignorant knew no fear.

The second cases scene was that public bathroom. Because of the event a few days ago, there were visibly less students coming here to shower. It was completely empty at this time. However, it still wasnt appropriate for the president to follow her inside. Only the manager accompanied her. The moment she entered, she noticed the large half-length mirror around two meters long on the side wall. Across from it were rows of lockers. The frosted glass windows made the inside very dark, and the lights needed to be turned on even during the day. Due to the layout of the bathroom, it seemed especially cold and gloomy.

The girl, where did sheget discovered? She didnt want to bring up the word die. This was because the moment she entered, she felt tense. She didnt know if it was her imagination or if this spacious place produced an echo. Regardless, even the sound of dripping water was very noticeable.

She was found lying in front of that mirror. The manager still felt unsettled when she heard Xiao Xia mention the matter a few days ago. She subconsciously leaned over and lowered her voice, making Xiao Xia feel as if something was blowing cold air on her neck. At that time she was half-turned, her hand stretching towards the sky. Her skin was withered like an eighty year old grandma, a pool of blood beneath her head. The pool was around the size of the sink. Her eyes were dug out, but I dont know if it would result in that much blood. My heavens, her eye sockets were bloody, as though she had eyes of blood. I still shiver at the thought.

Eyes of blood again.

Xiao Xia trembled as the vision appeared in her mind. She couldnt control herself as she slowly walked towards the mirror. Her hands lightly felt around her eyes. Her appearance was like she was sleepwalking, making the manager very puzzled.

Suddenly, Xiao Xia felt the mirror start to change. The dim transparent surface swiftly became a pane of red. A chill wind swept over and the mirror cracked in two. Startled, she took a step back. She snapped out of it and realized the mirror was perfectly fine. However, there seemed to be something peeking and jeering from inside.

Was that another vision?

The manager thought this female lawyer was measuring the scene with her stride, and hurriedly curried favor by offering new information. The place you are standing in was where she died. She said.

At this moment, the bathroom doors were slammed shut with a loud bang.

A few hesitant footsteps later, a girl poked her head out from behind the screen, making the two startled people let out a breath.

Why did you slam the door so loudly? Are you trying to scare people to death!? Dont you know to treasure public property? The manager was very angry.

Im sorry, it was the wind. The girl objected. If the door breaks, itll be fine if I pay for it.

I know youre rich, but what are you here for?

Of course its to shower.

Dont you live in a dorm with a shower? Isnt it much nicer compared to this place?

The pipes are broken. I have a date tonight and dont have time to go home.

Youre really brave! The manager felt it was unusual seeing her dare shower by herself. Girls only dare shower in groups of eight or ten now, and they only come during noon. Arent you afraid?

How can I not be?! The girl fished out her purse and took out a large hundred yuan bill. Therefore, I want to trouble auntie to accompany me. Its fine if you wait here for me. Ill be quick, itll only take a moment. The girl stuffed the manager the money as she spoke, as though Xiao Xia didnt exist. You must definitely wait here for me. Ill give you another hundred when I come out. Itll be payment for aunties hard work.

The manager looked guiltily at Xiao Xia. Xiao Xia turned her head away and acted as if she didnt see anything. Only then did the manager accept the money and nod to the girl. The girl walked inside nonchalantly. After taking off her clothes, she boldly walked in front of Xiao Xia into the shower. She didnt seem embarrassed in the slightest at being naked in front of others.

Its rare to get a little side income. You wouldnt tell the president, right? Hearing the sound of water running, the manager said sheepishly.

You got it for doing a task. Its got nothing to do with me.

Thank you, Miss Yue. The manager finally relaxed and expressed her gratitude. She chattily commented about the girl just now.

This little lass is called Zhang Xue. Do you know why I recognize her despite there being so many students here? Its because she is a unique person in our school. Not only is she beautiful, her dad is someone super rich from this city. Not only does she spend money like water on her food and clothes, she even gets picked up and dropped off by chauffeurs in luxury cars. She gets pampered like a living phoenix. Therefore, although shes a little spoiled, there are a lot of guys here after her. Shes pretty much got them all in the palm of her hand. The manager scowled, seeming to disapprove. However, the money was still pocketed straightforwardly. Ive heard she isnt really interested in those guys. Shes been after the basketball teams Ni Yang. She even started living at school to make it more convenient to pursue him. It didnt seem like she was successful before. However, looking at her happy appearance, the handsome little fellow must have taken the bait.

The name Ni Yang attracted Xiao Xias attention. There are still those who give up the comfort of their home to chase after guys? To think there were still such infatuated people! Incredible!

So it seems! However, this young mistress Zhang has also stirred up quite the scene at school. Her daddy even invited a geomancer and a renovation company. The dorms are tense but she herself occupies an entire four-person room on the third floor. She even has a nanny that does her housekeeping once a day. I hear her daddy has donated a sum to the school so the president also turns a blind eye. Its building number seven. That building is the best. Aiya, dont tell the president what I said.

Xiao Xia swore again not to blab before the manager let her leave. She then went to check out the first scene with the president. Here, Xiao Xia still didnt discover anything apart from a similar mirror, those similar bloody eyes and an even stronger sinister aura.
