Chapter 52: Ye Shangyu
“Another person died.”
In the lodge near the school, Ye Shangyu said, “Today at 7 AM, a student named Deng Fei called the police. He said that his roommate disappeared last night.”
“The missing student is called Du Han. Deng Fei woke up at 6:30 AM and got out of bed, only to see that Du Han’s quilt was in disarray. All of his outer clothes and shoes were all there, yet Du Han’s pajamas were nowhere to be found. Besides that, the dustpan was placed on the bathroom sink while Du Han’s slippers were also messily placed near the sink as if he was moving around the room last night. According to Deng Fei, before Du Han disappeared, he mentioned a ghost story about ‘an extra person in the dorm room.’”
“An extra person… that’s archive 12.”
Bai Yan said, but no one responded.
He shot a glance at Luo Xing, who was laying his head on his pillow, sleeping soundly.
Because his sleeping posture was wrong, his stomach slightly moved up and down, while his cheeks revealed a shallow dimple as sparkling saliva dripped down the sides of his mouth.
Luo Xing went to bed at 4 AM last night. He slept on his bed before getting up, which was a habit of high school students who studied at night, only getting around three hours of sleep.
“While writing this archive, the president was a human, and was no doubt on the humans’ side. But, he has already been long dead. We only managed to get our hands on the archives after he died. And, who knows if the ghost version of the president tampered with its contents?”
