Chapter 94 The Girl Who Jumped to Her Death
It was almost 10 p.m. when I left "Sanwei Study". The moonlight was bright, casting dappled patterns on the earth. A breeze was blowing and it was a little chilly.
Zhou Fengchen walked towards the dormitory with his arms crossed. He suddenly felt that the matter at school was a bit complicated, much more complicated than he had imagined. After searching for several days, he hadn't even run into the person in charge!
Most importantly, Monk Yuanzhi has run into trouble, and Zhou Fengchen even doubts whether he is still the real person.
As soon as I got downstairs at the dormitory, I ran into Zhang Kang. He was circling around in circles, acting a bit suspiciously.
Zhou Fengchen asked curiously, "What are you doing? Why aren't you going up?"
Zhang Kang was startled. He looked up and saw Zhou Fengchen. He glanced behind him instinctively and asked, "Your... friend, where's the bald guy?"
Zhou Fengchen's face turned cold. "I want to find him too."
Zhang Kang said, "I just saw him talking to Hu Die, and then he disappeared in the blink of an eye. Aren't you two together?"
"Where's that bastard?" Zhou Fengchen cursed, then paused, "Hu Die?"
"That's Zhang Qian's roommate! The girl who met the old lady, she took leave and came back."
"Where are they talking? Take me there quickly!" Zhou Fengchen exclaimed anxiously.
"That happened an hour ago, it's useless now."
Zhang Kang stopped him, thought for a moment and said, "You are the brother of goddess Chen Siya, I believe you, I... I have something I want to tell you."
"What is it? Speak!"
"Come with me." Zhang Kang pulled Zhou Fengchen to the side of the dormitory building and whispered, "Last night... I lied about Zhang Qian's death."
Zhou Fengchen was baffled. "Are you out of your mind? Why would you lie about something like this?"
Zhang Kang said, "Because your friend was there, I was afraid and didn't dare to say anything about your relationship with him..."
Zhou Fengchen interrupted, saying, "Why are you afraid of him? He is him, and I am me. Speak your mind, stop beating around the bush."
Zhang Kang swallowed and said, "Actually, when you went to the old toilet last night, Zhang Qian and I were too scared to sleep. We discussed whether we should go check on you, but we were also very afraid. Around 2 a.m., I couldn't help but doze off, and Zhang Qian was also dozing off by the window. Suddenly, I noticed your monk friend standing outside the window."
Zhou Fengchen's eyes widened. "That's the fifth floor! There don't seem to be any windowsills outside, right? How did he get standing there?"
Zhang Kang said, "I was also very confused at the time. I was about to ask him when I noticed that there was suddenly an old lady with a full head of white hair next to him. Then the two of them came in with strange smiles. I was so scared that I didn't dare to move. Later, your monk friend and the old lady gave Zhang Qian a bag of dates and left. You know what happened after that."
Zhou Fengchen took a deep breath. "If you dare lie to me, I'll kill you!"
"May I die a horrible death if I lie to you! I'm terrified right now, I don't even dare go back to my dorm. I have no idea what you two are up to!"
Zhang Kang's face turned pale. He pointed to the sky and swore, then, as if remembering something, he said, "Oh, right! Last night, your monk friend had a big tail growing out of his back. He... he wasn't human, was he?"
Zhou Fengchen's heart pounded wildly. This was no longer just a school matter; he was certain that Monk Yuanzhi wasn't the real one. The problem was... where was the real Monk Yuanzhi? How did this imposter manage to fool his Heavenly Eye Technique? When exactly was the switch performed? And how did he manage to understand Monk Yuanzhi's temperament, personality, and way of speaking so thoroughly?
Just then, a scream suddenly came from afar, and the direction was towards the girls' dormitory building.
Zhou Fengchen and Zhang Kang exchanged a glance. "Let's go! Let's go take a look."
The two ran all the way to the destination, only to find that it was still Building F.
The entire dormitory building was brightly lit and noisy. A group of girls were gathered around the corner downstairs, some of them not even fully dressed.
Zhou Fengchen squeezed through the crowd and found a disheveled girl lying on the ground, with a pool of blood beneath her. Her eyes were wide open, and a strange smile played on her lips. She was dead beyond dead.
Some of the girls nearby were so frightened that they cried, while others, who were bolder, discussed the matter, saying things like "jump off the building."
Zhou Fengchen looked at the rooftop, then at the girl on the ground, and his heart sank. It's over! Another person has died!
He turned to Zhang Kang and asked, "Do you...know this girl?"
Zhang Kang's face turned deathly pale. "Hu...Hu Die!"
Zhou Fengchen's head buzzed. "Monk Yuanzhi" had spoken to her an hour ago, and now she was jumping off a building?
That bastard!
Just then, a group of people came running from a distance. The leader was Sun Jiaoyu, who used to be a man who paid attention to his attire. Now, his hair was messy and his legs were wobbling as he ran.
Upon reaching them, he pushed through the crowd, peeked inside, and immediately covered his face. This grown man burst into tears, crying, "What a tragedy! What a tragedy! What bad luck I've committed!"
A group of people nearby, who looked like security guards or teachers, were all silent.
Sun Jiaoyu released his grip, turned around and looked around. He immediately spotted Zhou Fengchen, rushed over, grabbed Zhou Fengchen by the neck, and roared, "Master Zhou! Daoist Zhou! What did you promise me yesterday? Huh? You said no one else would die!"
Splash!
Hundreds or even thousands of people turned to look at it.
Zhou Fengchen also felt extremely guilty. Facing countless gazes, he let Sun Jiaoyu pull him along, took a deep breath, and whispered, "I'm sorry! I..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Sun Jiaoyu roared, "You're just a hoodlum! You don't have any real skills..."
Zhou Fengchen had lost all his temper. He had done his best. Perhaps he really wasn't that great. He raised his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "Yes, I'm not very capable..."
Just then, he glanced up and saw Chu Xiaoling standing in a secluded corner not far away with the ghost fetus, smiling at him.
"Please tell me where they are, okay?" Zhou Fengchen said sincerely.
"Are you begging me?" Chu Xiaoling tilted her head. "And become Xiaobao's father too!"
"Can we talk seriously?" Zhou Fengchen said, "Tell me where they are, and I can help you pass on to the afterlife. I will also use my accumulated good karma from past lives to exchange for a good birth for you and your child in the next life."
Chu Xiaoling chuckled and said, "There's nothing more to talk about. Goodbye!"
With that, he disappeared with the ghost fetus.
Sun Jiaoyu, Zhang Kang, and the others looked at Zhou Fengchen, then at the direction he was speaking, but there was nothing there. They wondered who he was talking to about these nonsensical things.
Sun Jiaoyu released Zhou Fengchen's neck, patted his forehead, and said, "It's over! You've gone mad, Zhang Kang. Let his sister take him home."
"I understand!" Zhang Kang came over and pulled Zhou Fengchen. "Mr. Zhou, are you... are you alright? You're not really..."
"I'm perfectly fine!" Zhou Fengchen smiled and used "Wind Shadow Escape" to instantly teleport him a hundred meters away.
Sun Jiaoyu and thousands of others gasped in surprise, looking this way and then into the distance, completely dumbfounded and unable to believe their eyes!
Reaching a corner, Zhang Kang, his face deathly pale, vomited repeatedly, and asked in horror, "How...how did they do that? This completely defies human kinesiology!"
Zhou Fengchen was too lazy to explain to him and said, "Take me to find Qi Lian'er and the others."
Zhang Kang was taken aback. "I have no idea where they are!"
Zhou Fengchen frowned and said, "Don't you know where they live?"
Zhang Kang pointed to the surrounding girls' dormitory buildings, "Qi Lian'er and Sang Rongrong should live in the girls' dormitory, Zhang Shisan... I'm sure he doesn't live in the boys' dormitory, I don't know where he lives."
Zhou Fengchen looked around, nodded, and said, "Alright, I understand. You can go ahead and get back to work!"
Zhang Kang was a little worried. "How about... I tell Chen Siya?"
"Are you out of your mind?" Zhou Fengchen said impatiently, "Why are you suing my sister? Go do your own thing! If you don't want to die, stop messing around with this 'cooperate' nonsense and go back to your studies!"
"Okay, okay."
After Zhang Kang left, Zhou Fengchen pondered for a moment, then went back to his dormitory. "Monk Yuanzhi's" bed was empty, so he took all his belongings with him and went back to the bushes in front of the girls' dormitory building, where he squatted down and waited silently.
He had a feeling that Qi Lian'er and the others were definitely going to do something tonight.
