Her Talent for Courting Death Has Always Been Impressive - Chapter 52 Part 4

“…Hi,” Xu Turan raised her hand at her, “If I remember correctly, we should have met in the forest earlier…”

“Shh!” Fang Xing’s expression changed instantly, hurriedly stopping her before she could finish, then pulled her into the room.

The door was gently closed. Fang Xing took a deep breath, turned to look at Xu Turan: “You, you really are the one from the forest earlier…”

Xu Turan opened her backpack, took out the notebook and bottle she had picked up, and put them on the table: “Here, you dropped these earlier.”

Fang Xing: “…”

Her expression became even more unpleasant. She froze for a few seconds before walking over, picking up the glass bottle containing water and yellow-white solids to carefully examine, then nervously closed her eyes.

“So you came through the forest?” She looked at Xu Turan, her tone carrying undisguisable fear, “How is that possible… Are you… are you a living person or…”

“What do you mean?” Xu Turan asked back, “Is there another way to get here?”

“…First tell me, are you a living person or not.” Fang Xing tried her best to control the trembling in her voice. After saying this, she thought for a moment, seemingly realizing that asking directly like this was meaningless, so she looked around, picked up a set of test papers from a nearby desk, flipped through them, and slapped a question in front of Xu Turan, “This, can you do this?”

Xu Turan: “…”

Come on, are your verification methods always this simple and crude, you high school seniors?

She quickly scanned the question on the test paper, confirmed the stem of the question, couldn’t understand it at all, so decisively gave up and said directly: “I was brought here by Qu Mian. Qu Mian thought you had joined a pyramid scheme, investigated secretly, but ended up being tricked into this school instead. In desperation, he chose to ask us for help.”

“Huh?” Fang Xing was stunned, struggling to digest the huge amount of information, “But he’s a boy?”

“You’ve also noticed that this school isn’t normal,” Xu Turan turned around to pack her backpack on her own. “Do you still expect its admission standards to be normal?”

Fang Xing: “…”

“Then, where is he now? And what… what kind are you…”

“He’s in a safe place now,” Xu Turan said reassuringly. “As for me…”

She casually picked up a nearby mineral water bottle, her mind stirred slightly, and a layer of obvious frost immediately formed on the bottle.

“I’m a mysterious industry insider who has come to save humanity,” Xu Turan put down the mineral water, deeply concealing her abilities and fame. “Now, can you tell me what you know?”

Fang Xing: “…”

She looked at the bottle of mineral water, her mouth slightly agape, paused for two seconds, then nodded as if waking from a dream: “Um… yes.”

“There’s another path between the Thinking Study Building and the Aspiring Study Building, besides the bridge. It’s behind the buildings,” she gestured with her hand. “But that path can’t be taken at night, you’ll encounter ghost walls.”

Xu Turan nodded thoughtfully, then looked at the glass bottle she was holding: “So what’s soaking in there…”

“…White phosphorus,” Fang Xing pressed her lips, saying softly, “I originally wanted to use this to start a fire…”

Xu Turan: “…”

“You wanted to set the mountain on fire?” She paused for a moment, finally understanding, and Fang Xing hurriedly waved her hands: “No, it’s not that serious! I just wanted to make some smoke, to see if I could attract attention from outside…”

There were many people in the dormitory building, and quite a few of them looked like living people. She didn’t dare to act in the dorm. The teaching building was too creepy at night, and there was no chance to act during the day…

She could only set her sights on the forest outside. Unexpectedly, after going in, she saw moving ghost shadows, and then ran into Xu Turan, got scared and ran back directly, not even bothering to pick up her things.

“…This place isn’t normal. We can’t contact the outside. Can’t get out either. I could only think of this method,” Fang Xing sat down on the chair powerlessly, looking at Xu Turan with a mix of tentative and undisguised expectation: “You said you’re special personnel… Are you here to save us?”

Xu Turan: “…”

“Yes. Of course,” Xu Turan nodded seriously. “Not just me, we have a whole team. It’s just that we’ve all just infiltrated, and currently lack a lot of information…”

“I understand. If needed, I’ll definitely cooperate with your work!” Before she could finish, Fang Xing was already nodding very cooperatively, and even took out her thermos to pour hot water for Xu Turan, saying in an old-fashioned manner, “Comrade, have some water.”

Xu Turan: “…”

There’s no need to be so polite.

Their time wasn’t plentiful, and Xu Turan didn’t have the mood to sit down and chat slowly. While checking around, she kept asking Fang Xing about the situation since her enrollment, and Fang Xing really did tell everything she knew, as she had said.

However, what she said was somewhat different from what Xu Turan had learned.

For example, Xiao Li had said that after coming in, one should listen to the teachers and class committee, they wouldn’t harm people; but Fang Xing said that the teachers in this school “don’t look like normal people at all”, and among the student cadres, it was a mix of good and bad, some looked like living people, while others were visibly strange.

“Moreover, many cadre positions in this school are rotating,” Fang Xing said. “Students can actively sign up for election. But under the same conditions, teachers tend to prefer those weird students…”

She had put in a lot of effort to finally get elected to a dormitory management committee position, gaining the opportunity to leave the dorm at night. Then she managed to get some white phosphorus from the chemistry lab… Never did she expect that there would be ghosts in that forest too.

And then there’s—Qu Mian had said that he could still maintain normal contact with her a week after Fang Xing’s enrollment. Fang Xing was very surprised to hear this.

“Impossible. My phone lost signal on the second day after I came in. Couldn’t send out any messages or calls…”

As she spoke, her eyes widened slightly, a hint of terror suddenly appearing in them: “Who on earth was Qu Mian chatting with?”

“If something was really pretending to be me and communicating with others… Wouldn’t people outside not realize that I’ve gone missing?”

…Come to think of it, that’s really the case.

Xu Turan pondered in her heart and realized that this damn school was indeed very cautious. They stopped chatting with Qu Mian later, probably because they already saw him as a fish in the net, with no need to continue deceiving; but if they really wanted to continue the deception, could Qu Mian really see through it?

After all, deceiving for a week is deceiving, deceiving for a year is also deceiving…

Xu Turan’s eyes turned slightly, and she thought of the mysterious online lover of her original self. Putting it this way, both sides even matched in skills…

Premise being, Fang Xing wasn’t lying.
