Specters of the Seven-Day Trial Chapter 9

Hearing the sound, all the men walked out of the shower room.

When Zhang Guoqiang found out that the deceased was his roommate, he became a little upset and started to curse: "Damn, why did this guy die again?"

Xu Xing jumped away from the thin stream of blood under his feet in disgust and suggested: "No one should wash anymore, call everyone else over later."

Wang Kele nodded frantically with a pale face: "Okay, I'll go get dressed now!"

He was eager to leave here, but didn't want to walk too fast, so he turned around, slipped, and fell in a pool of blood.

The young man raised his palm which was stained with sticky blood, his eyes trembled twice, and he fragilely burst into ghostly howls again.

The incident happened suddenly, and Riley Gu's head and face were still covered with foam. Seeing that everyone else was about to leave, she quickly returned to the shower room and stood under the shower to rinse quickly.

The water mixed with foam kept flowing down, making it impossible to open one's eyes. Riley Gu fell into darkness, and the whole person was a little timid: "Noah, wait for me, I'll be ready soon, don't go out yet."

There was a dead person lying next to the next door, and the cause of death was still unknown. Even standing under the hot water, I couldn't stop getting goose bumps.

Riley Gu faced the wall, rubbing her hair randomly. Suddenly, she felt a hand on the back of her head, scratching it gently with a very soothing force.

When Riley Gu pulled her hair back, she felt that small hand. She touched it once, and then touched it again, and said with relief: "Thank you, Noah."

He put his hands under the water to wash, and then he heard a voice from outside: "Eunjin, aren't you leaving yet?"

It was Ethan Bo passing by.

Eunjin: "Riley Gu is still inside. I'll wait for him here for a while."

Riley Gu's whole body stiffened, he opened his eyes, and his body temperature dropped instantly.

The hot water was clearly on all the time, but since some time ago, no more hot steam could be seen rising from the compartment.

Riley Gu swallowed hard, not daring to look back. Facing the white tiles, she called out with a trembling voice: "En... Noah?"

The shower curtain behind him was pulled open: "In."

Riley Gu turned her head sharply, and after seeing En Jin, she felt relieved. Her eyes could not help but scan the small shower room: "Did you see...anything extra just now?"

Eunjin shook her head.

After the men in the bathroom had finished cleaning up, Xu Xing called the others over.

The curtain was opened, and the dead man inside was still staring, as if he hadn't realized what was happening.

There was a bloody mark slanting on the body with a rough edge. Gradually, the upper part of the cut fell to the ground like a landslide, making a loud "click" sound.

The scene was unbearable to watch.

Zhang Guoqiang took into consideration the fact that there were girls at the scene, so he carefully pulled down the shower curtain to cover the lower half of the body, and then moved away.

"Another one was torn off."

Next to the body was a piece of blood-soaked paper, torn in half from the upper right corner.

Xu Xing pondered for a moment and integrated the existing information: "In the auditorium this afternoon, the female teacher revealed that the only one who could take the player away was Chunzi. Before we hand over the real male teacher, everyone will be regarded as a suspect by her."

"This is the second death today. If the situation continues like this, a certain number of people will die every day. Unless we find the male teacher faster than Junko kills people, the longer it takes, the worse it will be for everyone."

"How do we find male teachers?" a panicked voice asked in the crowd. "Like playing Werewolf? Sit down and chat, then vote out the suspects?"

"Chatting won't solve the problem." Adrian Tang said calmly, "In this game, the male teacher has to hide himself if he wants to win, so he has a perfect set of rhetoric, from his background to his life experience, all of which are compiled to be no different from ordinary people, so it's impossible to find flaws through chatting, but the male teacher must have some characteristics that are related to this school." After a pause, he said, "We need clues."

Mercury hooked her hair behind her ear and said, "I think what Candi said makes sense. Let's start tonight. Even if we can't find any clues, I believe that since we live together every day, if we pay attention to each other, the male teacher will reveal his tracks."

Qin Jingjing took out her flip phone, checked the time, and reminded everyone: "Well, it's eight o'clock. Do we still need to leave the dormitory now? Is there a curfew here?"

Everyone looked at each other with hesitant expressions.

If I come back late, who knows if I will be locked outside and treated inhumanely.

Zhang Guoqiang rubbed his palms and said, "How about this, we start the action tomorrow, so it won't be too scary during the day."

The other players nodded in agreement.

Ethan Bo said: "From now on, I hope that the information within the team can be transparent, and any information obtained must be shared with others. This is not a confrontational game. The only way to escape is to cooperate with each other."

There were sparse echoes from the crowd.

Adrian Tang saw a woman in the corner acting a little unusual. She seemed to be called Yu Mengmeng. She rubbed her arms unconsciously and looked evasive. It was obvious that she was worried. But then, Yu Mengmeng raised her hand: "I agree!"

Adrian Tang took a closer look.

Xu Xing reminded: "Death is not instantaneous. The female teacher said that they were taken away because they did something that Chunzi didn't like. Now think about it, did the two deceased people today have any abnormal behavior before they died, or did they have any common characteristics?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

"The letter A." Only Adrian Tang answered, "There is also a letter A on this body."

"What's the letter A!"

"where?"

"I didn't see it either."

"Here." Adrian Tang raised his hand and pointed behind his right ear: "I also saw it when He Wei died. It looked like it was carved with a knife. At first I thought it was the death code of the deceased, and it would be marked like ABCD, but it seems to have another meaning."

Many people came closer to the corpse to take a look, and sure enough, behind the bloodless ear, there was a scarlet letter "A".

Riley Gu guessed: "Does it mean the first day?"

Xu Xing hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not impossible."

Ethan Bo said calmly: "Could it be blood type? Type A."

Xu Xing nodded: "That's also an idea."

Adrian Tang thought deeply and said, "If this game is to pass clues to us through the dead, then the process may be a bit tricky... I hope it's not the case."

After his reminder, many players felt a chill down their spines.

Using the dead to pass clues means that if you want clues, someone must be dead.

Before going upstairs, Riley Gu thought about it and walked towards the duty room.

As usual, Noah followed Riley Gu like a little tail, wherever she went.

There was a fat dormitory manager sitting in the duty room. Riley Gu knocked on the glass window and asked, "Auntie, which dormitory did Chunzi live in before he died?"

"You mean Junko from Class A of Grade 3?" The fat aunt smiled and pulled out a thin booklet from the file column next to her and opened it. "I remember she lived in the dormitory last semester. I'll help you find out where she lives."

"Junzi, Junzi is a good girl..." The fat aunt slid her fingers down the list, muttering to herself as she searched, "Where is it? Junzi is a good girl...ah, I found it, here it is."

The aunt turned the roster over and showed it to him: "On the sixth floor, dormitory 620."

After expressing his gratitude, Riley Gu took En Jin away.

In the elevator, Riley Gu looked at the numbers jumping above, sighed, and said, "Go back and go to bed quickly. I hope tonight is Christmas Eve."

Eun-jin asked, "Aren't you going to see Jun-ja's dorm?"

"Boy, you are really brave to visit the ghost girl's dormitory at night." Riley Gu put his hands in his trouser pockets and said with a smile, "I don't dare to go anyway. You go if you want. I will go to see it during the day when there are more people."

Eun Jin was very obedient: "Then I won't go either."

When he reached the sixth floor, Riley Gu came to the room he had stayed in last night, opened the door and walked in.

I turned on the light, but saw Eun-jin standing at the door, not coming in.

Riley Gu took off his coat, puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Eun-jin glanced at the number plate on the door frame and said, "You are very brave to visit the ghost girl's former dormitory at night."

... Riley Gu quickly put on her coat, feeling that it was not a good thing, "What do you mean?"

Eun-jin: "This is 620, Jun-ja's dormitory."

...

Riley Gu panicked.
