Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Bizarre

Bai Yanliang paused for a moment, then pressed confirm.

The moment it went through, Feng Xiuxue sent a message.

"See you tomorrow."

This woman is quite straightforward.

"Time, place."

Bai Yanliang replied with two words.

Over there, Feng Xiuxue frowned slightly, it took Bai Yanliang almost half a minute to reply with four words, it seems he was hesitant about the meeting.

This was a misjudgment of him, it’s simply because Bai Yanliang was too unfamiliar with typing on a phone, he was just slow.

"Two in the afternoon, Rong Bridge Sky Street, Yuanmu Cafe."

Bai Yanliang looked at this message, turned his head and asked, "Where is Rong Bridge Sky Street?"

Yang Yiyi gave him a deep look of resentment, this guy just bought a phone and started chatting, did he forget the important business?

Thinking of this, she said irritably, "Do you know the name of the neighborhood I live in?"

"Rong Garden."

Bai Yanliang remembered it clearly.

"Exactly, Rong Bridge Sky Street is the pedestrian street opposite."

Bai Yanliang nodded and laboriously typed out two words:

"Got it."

Feng Xiuxue’s eyelids trembled a little seeing the two-word reply that took nearly a minute.

On the other side, Bai Yanliang flexed his somewhat stiff fingers and turned to the disgruntled Yang Yiyi, "Let’s go, to the school."

...

In the group chat, the situation about Yu Hanzhou’s group was basically completely understood.

Only the group with Wei Xiu and Bai Yanliang remained.

But... all six people in Wei Xiu’s group died in the past, not only unable to bring back any useful information, but they also left Fog Gathering with a terrifying dilemma.

Mountain Moon Hiding, coffin fishing from the water, that moment in time will descend upon everyone in Fog Gathering in half a year.

"Mr. Xu, could your third group please describe it?"

Xu Zhi’an looked at this message, feeling somewhat troubled.

His arms had completely healed, as if they had never been broken, but he didn’t know much about this mission.

In fact, even now Xu Zhi’an didn’t know exactly how Bai Yanliang dealt with so many ghosts.

As known, there were already three ghosts!

Not only him, but Li Yuejun also knew little, only Jiang Li had some clues, but the information was too scarce, and later she went to take care of the handless Xu Zhi’an, so she couldn’t say much.

The three of them patched together what they could, which left the people in the group chat utterly confused.

"So... Mr. Bai helped you many times? And then solved all the problems alone?"

Zhou Li summarized.

"...More or less like that."

Jiang Li was the first to reply.

"Hmm... that’s indeed the case..."

Li Yuejun confirmed this statement as well.

"Yes, Mr. Bai... he is very brave, throughout the process, he didn’t show a hint of fear, he even... took the initiative to meet the ghosts."

Xu Zhi’an’s reply caused the group chat to fall into silence again.

Everyone couldn’t help but conjure up the same question in their minds, Bai Yanliang, is he a genius? Or... a madman.

Li Mu calmly read through all the information and exited the group chat.

Genius?

Fog Gathering never lacked geniuses.

...

Ye City Jiangbei Third Middle School is a key high school, every year a large number of students get into prestigious universities.

After last night’s incident, a bunch of reporters suddenly appeared at the entrance of North River Third Middle School.

The security personnel blocked the reporters from entering, and they had already unified their responses, answering "don’t know" to any question the reporters asked.

But the incident had already spread through the students who had been sent home early.

"A student suddenly went mad and stabbed a grade director through the neck with a compass."

The school had no intention of permanently blocking the news, only... they wanted to delay the exposure of this incident as much as possible, at least to let the school understand what exactly had happened first.

Was it really a sudden illness of the student? Or was there long-standing animosity between the two?

Even up to now, the school hasn’t figured it out.

The police haven’t found any answers either.

It’s not that they aren’t capable, it’s just that it was difficult, especially with one of the parties in the hospital receiving emergency treatment, and the other, since being captured on the spot last night, has remained silent and vacant-looking, as if soulless.

When Bai Yanliang and Yang Yiyi arrived at the entrance of the Third Middle School, they just saw a group of media with cameras prepared for exclusive news.

The entrance was crowded, and security was blocking entry.

Yang Yiyi had anticipated this, and even led Bai Yanliang through a secluded corner to get inside.

"Don’t tell anyone about this place, it’s a student’s secret!" Yang Yiyi instructed repeatedly.

Bai Yanliang glanced at this secret passage, it seems... every school has a corner where you can sneak out.

Jiangbei Third Middle School isn’t small, and Bai Yanliang followed Yang Yiyi to the place where the conflict happened last night.

"I heard it was in the office of the grade director for the first-year students, follow me!"

When the two arrived at the scene, the office was already cordoned off, a police officer was speaking seriously to someone who looked like a leader.

"Uncle Wang!"

Yang Yiyi called sweetly.

The police officer turned back, a smile appearing on his solemn and upright face, "Yiyi? What are you doing here."

"I study here!"

Obviously, this Officer Wang knew Yang Yiyi, or rather, knew Yang Wanlong, and they had a good relationship.

Soon, Officer Wang noticed Bai Yanliang, who was deep in thought looking at the scene, and frowned, "Who are you? Irrelevant people cannot enter the crime scene."

"Leave immediately!"

Officer Wang’s voice became stern, and it seemed he was about to drive both Yang Yiyi and Bai Yanliang out.

At this moment, Yang Yiyi suddenly raised her phone and handed it to Officer Wang, "Uncle Wang, my dad wants you to take this call!"

Officer Wang took the phone and put it to his ear.

Whatever Yang Wanlong told him, Officer Wang’s gaze kept shifting between Bai Yanliang, and eventually, he tacitly agreed that he could stay.

"It’s strange, isn’t it?"

Officer Wang’s voice suddenly came from beside Bai Yanliang.

Bai Yanliang was half-squatting on the ground touching something, instinctively nodded at the words: "Yes, there are no signs of struggle at the scene, not even any indications of struggle from the grade director after the injury, it’s as if... he was already dead."

Bai Yanliang’s strange statement stunned Officer Wang, who then signaled to the surrounding officers, sending away the school officials who had come to inquire.

"You’re right, actually, last night we received a bizarre emergency call."

"Emergency call?" Bai Yanliang turned his head to look at Officer Wang.

"Yes, the caller said someone would rush in and stab him through the neck with a compass." Officer Wang’s voice was calm, but his expression was not.

Because... it’s so eerie.

The caller was the grade director, he actually... predicted his own murder?
