My Sister Never Said She Was a Creepy Tale
Yue Yiyue froze at the last words. She was waiting for me here. If she had known she would run into Zhang Yang, she wouldn't have come down for a walk, no matter what. What urgent matter did she have that absolutely had to be discussed now?
Yue Yiyue remained silent for a long time, not answering. Zhang Yang looked at her expression and sighed regretfully.
"I understand… I thought… I'm sorry to have bothered you. Just pretend I never came." After saying this, she lifted her leg, preparing to leave.
"Go with her." A strange voice sounded in her ear. Yue Yiyue looked around in fear. There was nothing. "She can't see me. Go with her." Another sentence. Now Yue Yiyue was certain it was her deskmate, Ye Qiu. She could hear the voice but not see the person, and Zhang Yang nearby was completely unaware of the addition of another person. It was genuinely terrifying.
"She can't wait any longer. If you don't go, I can't guarantee she won't knock you out. After all, she only wants to get rid of you now." Yue Yiyue stopped thinking about anything else. She quickly stood up and, putting on a fake show, said, following the voice in her ear: "Zhang Yang, I've thought it through. With our friendship, it's only right that I accompany you." "I'll go with you now."
Clang! The sound of a brick hitting the ground. Zhang Yang stopped, turning back in surprise: "I knew you were reliable." "Then I won't need this for self-defense. That's great."
Yue Yiyue didn't doubt that if she had been any later, that brick would have landed on her head. She forced a fake smile: "You had this?" She walked over, picked it up in front of Zhang Yang, and weighed it in her hand: "Sometimes we need a bit of external force just in case." "How many people are there? Can you call anyone else?" "I think contacting the homeroom teacher would be more reliable."
Zhang Yang rubbed her face and sighed: "There are only two opponents. They are my roommates. That day I went to find Gu Nanqiu, and they blocked me, calling me 'low-class' and stuff." "I've been tangled up with them ever since that time." "I see. I've had experiences like that too." Yue Yiyue gestured for Zhang Yang to walk ahead while she followed. "By the way, did you find Wang Xiaoyan? We've searched the whole school these past two days but haven't seen her, or that Zhao Heyi." "And Wang Yong, too. Aside from Gu Nanqiu and me being together at the time, logically, the four of you should have been together." Yue Yiyue mentioned this casually, as if she were genuinely worried about her classmates.
Zhang Yang's footsteps paused, but she quickly continued as if nothing happened: "That's my fault, actually." She seemed lost in thought: "We left together then, but halfway, I had an upset stomach and thought I'd go to the restroom first." Zhang Yang kept her story simple: after she went to the restroom, she came out and found herself in this school. At that time, she did meet Wang Xiaoyan. Wang Xiaoyan said it was all Zhao Heyi's fault. The sacrifice was indeed meant for everyone, but he prematurely activated the sacrifice to possess Gu Nanqiu alone, trapping everyone here. Wang Xiaoyan then said she must personally take care of Zhao Heyi, mentioned something about the top-floor conference room, and then left.
Saying this, Zhang Yang showed some remorse: "I'm sorry. I couldn't tell you this important information at the time because they threatened me." "I'm telling you now because I might not live through tomorrow…" "If you go to the top floor, you might have a chance to leave."
If Yue Yiyue hadn't already gone to the Art Studio, she wouldn't have doubted this story at all. But having been to the Art Studio, Yue Yiyue naturally heard the holes in the story. However, at this moment, she could only "understandingly" comfort her: "I understand. After we deal with this matter today, we'll go to the conference room together." "Nanqiu hopes we can all come together and go back together." Yue Yiyue looked at the nearby restroom, lowered her gaze, and asked slowly and clearly: "That's how it should be, right?"
This restroom was somewhat remote. Yue Yiyue had never thought of coming here and didn't see the need. The script-killing rules clearly stated not to go to the restroom with the bullied person. This was also the time to verify Zhang Yang's identity.
But will I be able to go back? If I die here like this, can I return to my world? She wondered about Aunt Zhang's health, her sisters' extracurricular books, and the orphanage director. If I die here, will Gu Nanqiu be sad? Probably. And then she'll just move on with her life. After all, I'm just a passing acquaintance she spent some time with.
"Yiyue, thank you for being willing to help me." Zhang Yang smiled and put her hand on the doorknob.
Click. The door—opened.
The restroom looked clean and had no strange smells. But Yue Yiyue felt a slight dissonance. Perhaps it was the scarlet color on the cleaning tools piled in the corner. Perhaps it was the slightly ajar stall, as if something was propped up against it. And sitting in the middle of the restroom was someone Yue Yiyue expected—Zhao Heyi. His glasses were off, revealing his lifeless, dead-fish eyes. His high-collar shirt and long sleeves hid his figure beneath the loose clothes.
"You're slow to arrive." Zhao Heyi sat there, looking exceptionally gloomy, hands in his pockets. He looked at Yue Yiyue as if she were a dead person. "You're already driven mad by jealousy, so why pretend? She's been with Nanqiu all along, and it's not easy to separate the two of them."
Zhang Yang chuckled, stretched out her hand, and dragged Yue Yiyue inside, tossing her casually onto the floor. With the situation unclear, Yue Yiyue dared not act rashly. She calmly observed the present situation, waiting for a breakthrough, or… trying to leave more information for Gu Nanqiu.
Just outside the restroom door, Ye Qiu's voice, which had been silent all along the path, sounded again: "Go in. Don't worry too much. You can change your request now to 'leave here alive.' Of course, this time I also need you to promise me one thing. After all, your performance along the way has been quite obedient."
She's so excited. Doing everything she's told, without any doubt. Baby is too cute. If it weren't for irrelevant people here, those restless idiots would surely cling to Baby immediately, wrapping her up bit by bit. Leaving her scent on Baby, just like that time…
Inside, Zhang Yang casually tucked her hair up and looked at Yue Yiyue with false sincerity: "See? I told you there were only two of them. I didn't lie, did I?"
Yue Yiyue stated with certainty: "Wang Yong was killed by you, and so was Wang Xiaoyan." "Is the goal just to keep Nanqiu here?"
Zhao Heyi nodded matter-of-factly: "Yes, we don't want to be separated from Nanqiu." He thought about seeing Gu Nanqiu's information in the class group chat: Great, Yiyue also got into C University! She'll have company! And Zhang Yang said that this vile person actually slept with Gu Nanqiu… That's too much… Too much! Jealousy drove him mad, leading him to decide to eliminate this eyesore prematurely.
