Chapter 684: Cause and Effect
When they were questioned last time, many of the teachers didn’t dare reveal anything for the sake of the school’s reputation. Now that they knew how serious the matter was, a few of the leaders traded looks. Teacher Yang was the first to speak. The first people to meet with mishaps were the students of Cla.s.s 9. At that time, she still didn’t know what kind of spirit summoning game they had played in the middle of the night.
It was just that a few days later, the first student, Meng Shuyi, suddenly fell into a coma. They didn’t think much of it at first, and only thought that this girl had accidentally knocked her head.
Even Meng Shuyi’s parents thought so. Back then, Teacher Yang was someone who only believed in science and not superst.i.tions, and never thought of anything supernatural.
It wasn’t until the next day that the second student, Liu Ran, suddenly jumped from the eighth floor in front of her. At that moment, Teacher Yang’s eyes were filled with some sadness and fear as she explained to Feng Yuanlin and the others, “That child jumped off the building during the fourth period. Cla.s.s 9 had a lesson on the eighth floor. I saw her early in the morning, and she was in good spirits. The other teachers for the first three cla.s.ses also said that this child was especially spirited. Who would have thought that during my cla.s.s, that girl who was sitting properly would suddenly jump out the window without a care, as if she had gone crazy.” At that time, no one reacted. By the time everyone did, they already heard a loud bang.
Xiao Fang was so scared that her mind went blank and her legs turned to jelly. She didn’t know why Liu Ran suddenly jumped off the building. Several students in her cla.s.s were also traumatized when they saw Liu Ran jump off the building. Some even went to see a psychiatrist.
Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and asked, “Jumped without a care? Teacher Yang, can you describe it to me in detail?”
When Teacher Yang saw that it was a young lady who spoke, she was a bit stumped, but Director Feng didn’t stop her. The other party was also next to Director Feng, so she was probably some police officer. Teacher Yang racked her brain and thought for a while, then said, “At that time, my attention was on cla.s.s. I only remember that girl, Liu Ran, quietly listening to me while I was teaching. By the way, that child raised her hand to answer a few of my questions. She seemed to be in good spirits, and didn’t look like someone who was depressed and would kill herself. It was just that when cla.s.s was about to end, that child suddenly got up and ran to the window. By the way, before she did, she even smiled at me. That smile was especially creepy; I can’t describe it!”
When Teacher Yang thought of that smile, she only felt gooseb.u.mps all over her body and her hair stood on end. When Liu Ran jumped off the building and died, she got even more scared, and felt that something was wrong.
The teacher’s words also made Chi Shuyan even more certain that the little girl had indeed been possessed by some evil spirit before she jumped off a building.
Chi Shuyan didn’t speak and listened to Teacher Yang continue, “After Liu Ran jumped off the building, I found out that a few girls had played a spirit summoning game. At that time, they were so scared that they confessed to me about it. Although I felt that there was something wrong with Liu Ran jumping off the building, I didn’t think much of it. The other teachers didn’t believe that it was anything supernatural either, until something happened to Huang Ying and Tao Jiajia in the cla.s.s next door. At first, Huang Ying also suddenly fainted like Shuyi.”
In fact, it wasn’t just her; some other people at school had also felt that something was off, but they didn’t think much of it until the child was sent to the hospital and something suddenly ripped open her stomach in the middle of the night.
When the news first reached the adults, all the teachers and directors of No. 5 Junior High had almost gone crazy with fright. Later, when Tao Jiajia and Liu Mingyi went to the washroom at night, Tao Jiajia was suddenly scared to death. Although Liu Mingyi didn’t die, she was also scared out of her wits and kept shouting that there was a ghost.
When all these things were put together, they had to believe even if they didn’t.
