Behind the red maple tree was the laboratory building. The biochemical laboratory that was involved in the accident was not in this building, but Yu Muhuai still went in and took a look.
The sneaky Jiang Xuyan met up with Tang Zinian and Zhao Yingnan after he stole the key.
“Where are Qingyou and the others?”
Jiang Xu Yan took the key and looked around.
“They should have gone somewhere else.” Zhao Yingnan said,” I saw Shu Ling before. She seemed to have gone straight to the teaching building.”
“It’s better to stick together at a time like this.”
Tang Zinian adjusted his coat. “Didn’t they say that people who appear in the six ghost stories locations might ‘die’? If they act alone, they might be attacked.”
Jiang Xuyan agreed.
The three of them talked as they walked towards the garden.
Just as he was about to walk around the red maple trees, he saw Yu Muhuai coming out of the laboratory building.
Jiang Xuyan immediately waved at Yu Muhuai.
“Muhuai, here, here.”
“Did you notice anything? There shouldn’t be any ghost stories in the laboratory building, right? What are you going in for?”
“Let’s go in and take a look.” Yu Muhuai paused and calculated the probability of the first three people being werewolves. Then he said, “I saw red in the laboratory building-”
Halfway through her words, Zhao Yingnan suddenly noticed something. She looked to the right and her legs went soft.
“C-corpse aahhhhh!”
Tang Zinian hurriedly held her up and did not dare to look to the right.
Jiang Xuyan subconsciously took a few steps back and almost tripped over the camera.
Yu Muhuai was the only one who was more courageous. He looked at the place where Zhao Yingnan had just looked.
Under the third tree on the right, two legs were swaying back and forth, like a person who had hanged himself…
A gust of night wind blew past, and Jiang Xuyan covered his chest.
“Medicine, I want to take my medicine. Quick-”
“What medicine?” Tang Zinian was stunned. He saw Jiang Xuyan fumbling in his pocket and was about to help when he saw Jiang Xuyan’s angry face.
“Damn it! I’m too healthy to take out any blood pressure medicine!”
Tang Zinian was speechless.
“Pfft.”
The atmosphere between the three of them finally lightened a lot.
Zhao Yingnan hid behind Tang Zinian and followed Jiang Xuyan and Yu Muhuai to the tree.
“It’s not a corpse,” Yu Muhuai said after a long while. “It seems to be a mannequin.”
Just as the few of them were about to get close, the pair of swaying legs ‘whooshed’ into the bushes and disappeared.
Yu Muhuai was a little surprised. He didn’t care if the production team had any more tricks up their sleeves and ran over in a few steps.
“Gone?!”
His voice attracted the attention of the three people behind him.
Zhao Yingnan stuck her head out. “Really? Really?”
“Is there someone on the tree?” Tang Zinian became vigilant.
“No, there isn’t.” Yu Muhuai shook his head.
Just as he was about to go up the tree to check, Zhao Yingnan suddenly turned around when she heard a rustling sound.
“That, that-”
She pointed at the maple tree on the other side, her hand still trembling.
The other three looked over at the same time. Under the red maple tree on the other side, a shadow swayed. There was actually a figure!
Moreover, compared to the unreal feeling of the hard mannequin, this figure was much more ‘lively’!
“Hiss-”
Jiang Xuyan gasped, “No way, no way, could it be true…”
The production team made such a big deal out of it?
Yu Muhuai, who had wanted to climb the tree, also stopped and led the group in that direction.
The two legs that were hanging down seemed to be moving without any wind.
He looked like a person who was struggling to hang himself at the end…
Zhao Yingnan’s lips were trembling.
At this moment, a sound came from those legs:
“Did you get the lab key?”
The few of them froze on the spot.
“S-Sister Qingyou?” Tang Zinian called out uncertainly.
Song Qingyou jumped down from the tree. “It’s me.”
Zhao Yingnan heaved a sigh of relief, “So it’s Qingyou! Why did you climb up the tree? It was so scary!”
“I felt that there might be clues in these trees, so 1 climbed up one by one to take a look. I’d only just climbed up to this tree when you guys arrived here…By the way, can’t you see the light on my side?”
The cameraman who was hiding behind the tree walked out. The few of them immediately understood that the light was blocked by the tree.
“Also, why did you shout just now?”
“You didn’t see, Qingyou? A mannequin suddenly hung from that tree. Ah, no, a corpse came down…”
“I didn’t see it.”
Song Qingyou shook her head. “So, that tree might have clues?”
She clapped her hands. “Let’s go up and take a look.”
Yu Muhuai was a step ahead of her. “I’ll climb up and take a look. You’re wearing a dress. Even if you won’t reveal yourself, it’s not suitable.”
“Xiao Yu is right.” Jiang Xuyan calmed down and found his brain. “Qingyou, when did you come out of the dormitory?”
“I just came out not long ago. I asked the warden how many people came out. I felt that you might go to get the key first, so 1 thought of waiting here.”
“Is that so…”
Jiang Xuyan nodded. He seemed to think that this was reasonable.
Yu Muhuai, who was about to climb the tree, turned around. “Sister Yingnan said earlier that the red maple tree is the third tree on the right where the ghost story happened. Why did you climb another tree?”
Song Qingyou had a photographic memory. If she said that she had forgotten what Zhao Yingnan had said, no one present would believe her.
Yu Muhuai had a feeling that Song Qingyou had deliberately made a ruckus to scare them. Her motive was probably to let someone successfully take away the mannequin.
“I wanted to see if there are any differences between the other trees.” Song Qingyou said helplessly, “I didn’t expect to miss an important scene.”
Yu Muhuai didn’t respond. He climbed up the tree agilely and looked at the places where things could be easily hidden.
“Have you found it?” Tang Zinian asked curiously.
“No, I haven’t.”
Yu Muhuai jumped down. “Only this branch has obvious signs of something hanging.”
“That mannequin…Where did the corpse go?” Zhao Yingnan also recovered at this time.
According to the program team, that mannequin must have been used as a corpse.
The current scene was equivalent to the corpse mysteriously disappearing.
If there were no supernatural elements, then…
“Could it be Xingzhou and Shu Ling?”
Jiang Xuyan guessed, “All of us were here just now, but the two of them weren’t. So, they are probably werewolves.”
“That’s possible.” Yu Muhuai nodded in agreement.
Jiang Xuyan was deep in thought. ‘If Xu Xingzhou and Shu Ling have problems, then where is the ’werewolf ? Is it one of the five of them, or the ‘special guest who didn’t show up?
Now, only he and Qingyou knew that there were three werewolves.
Jiang Xuyan subconsciously looked at Song Qingyou.
The latter smiled and lowered her voice. “If it’s really Xingzhou, the other one should be that special guest.”
“I think the five of us are very unlikely suspects.”
“I think so too.” Jiang Xuyan agreed.
The two of them subconsciously whispered to each other, which made Yu Muhuai, who was originally suspicious of Song Qingyou, scrutinize Jiang Xuyan a little more..
