Chapter 13 New Clues

　　Regarding Jiangcheng's statement, Fatty and Huai Yi only found it strange, but they didn't doubt it. "Wang Qi? He dared to go in alone?"

　　Jiangcheng briefly told them about the strange things he encountered inside. When Fatty heard that the thing in the dormitory had followed, his face turned pale.

　　Huai Yi was a little slow to realize, "Do you remember what Wen Liangshan said? He said that before Wang Qi left, he muttered to himself, saying: Something followed me all the way, why did it suddenly disappear here?"

　　"I think what he was talking about was the thing that left the water stains!" Huai Yi looked at the two of them and said affirmatively.

　　"That's right." Jiangcheng nodded.

　　"It seems that this Wang Qi not only discovered the water stains in the dormitory but also noticed that something was following us all the way to the activity center."

　　Huai Yi continued along the line of thought, "And after arriving at the activity center, he discovered that the thing following us had disappeared."

　　"He guessed that it might have followed Jiangcheng and the others into the activity center, so he made an excuse to shake us off and secretly went in through the front door to investigate."

　　Jiangcheng didn't express his opinion, indicating that this theory was plausible.

　　After Huai Yi's analysis, Fatty gradually understood, and at the same time, his opinion of this man named Wang Qi changed.

　　This person's courage and ability are probably comparable to the doctor's.

　　If he's a ghost... it would make their situation extremely unfavorable.

　　"Doctor." Fatty looked at Jiangcheng, but before he could speak, the doctor waved his hand to interrupt.

　　"Regarding this Wang Qi, I don't have any ideas for the time being. Just be careful and vigilant. As for anything else, I'm tired, let's talk about it when it's light."

　　Because Huai Yi and Fatty didn't put in much effort at night, they leaned against each other to keep watch, prioritizing the doctor's rest.

　　After Jiangcheng gave a few routine instructions, he brought the quilt down, spread it on the ground, and went to sleep. He didn't have the habit of sleeping on the bed.

　　Fatty and Huai Yi sat back-to-back, chatting sporadically in low voices so as not to disturb the doctor's rest.

　　Perhaps the ghosts also needed rest, or maybe the ghosts didn't follow back at all. In short, the night passed peacefully. In the morning, everyone gathered downstairs.

　　All eight of them were present and accounted for.

　　Fatty's stomach was growling with hunger. Seeing everyone looking at him, he was a little embarrassed and covered his stomach. Seeing this, Jiangcheng said, "Let's go, let's go to the cafeteria."

　　After yesterday's events, Wen Liangshan became much more obedient and said in a low voice, "The cafeteria... but we don't have any money."

　　Shen Mengyun nodded, "Let's go to the cafeteria and see. I haven't heard of anyone starving to death in a mission."

　　Sure enough, not long after arriving at the cafeteria, they ran into an acquaintance, the female teacher who brought them into the school yesterday.

　　The female teacher had changed her outfit, and everyone almost didn't recognize her.

　　Seeing Jiangcheng and the others, the female teacher walked up quickly, "Jiangcheng." She greeted, "How was your stay last night? Are you used to the teachers' dormitory?"

　　"It was alright, thank you for your trouble, teacher." Jiangcheng said politely.

　　"By the way, I heard Professor Wu said yesterday that he plans to choose you as his academic assistant. He said he had already talked to you about it." The female teacher blinked at Jiangcheng, unable to hide her curiosity. She couldn't figure out how this student was favored by the professor on his first day.

　　"Yes, Professor Wu is very kind to me. It's an honor to be able to help him." Jiangcheng casually swung his arm and bumped into Fatty's hand that was covering his stomach.

　　As if he had received a hint, Fatty immediately lowered his hand, and then a hungry "growl" sounded.

　　After hearing this, the female teacher took out her teacher's card and habitually said politely, "I was so busy talking, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Why don't you have something with me, I haven't eaten either."

　　"Then... we'll trouble you, teacher."

　　The female teacher was stunned. After a long while, she led Jiangcheng and his group to the place where they served food. After the female teacher ordered a few side dishes, she took a bowl of white porridge to reserve a seat, leaving the card to Jiangcheng, "Get whatever you want to eat, I'll go find a seat first."

　　In this way, everyone got their first meal after arriving here. The female teacher was shocked. A breakfast cost her more than 200, mainly because these students were shameless enough to pack some to go.

　　When leaving, the female teacher told Jiangcheng that Professor Wu would have a class later, suggesting that he go listen.

　　After asking for the location of the classroom, everyone set off. As a result, coincidentally, they changed classrooms, but it was still the same group of students from yesterday.

　　The moment Jiangcheng and his group appeared in the classroom, the group of students sitting in the back seemed to react instinctively, immediately got up, and then rushed to the front row like a tide.

　　Among them was Cha Zhanpeng, whom they had seen yesterday.

　　Professor Wu didn't point this out, and even nodded to Jiangcheng's position before officially starting the class.

　　Jiangcheng didn't get up either, but nodded slightly with a cold face.

　　Seeing this, Cha Zhanpeng felt that he had really hit the jackpot. If he could get along well with Director Jiang, then the position of president would definitely be his in next year's student union election.

　　After the class ended, Professor Wu, who had packed his things, took the initiative to find Jiangcheng, took out a card from his cloth bag and handed it to him, "This is the certificate I got for you. The school approved it this morning. I often go to other colleges. With this certificate, it will be much easier for you to find me in the school."

　　"Thank you, Professor." Jiangcheng took the certificate very politely.

　　"Come and listen to my classes more often recently to learn more, so that you can carry out your work better in the future." The old professor adjusted his glasses and said in a low voice, "I didn't reveal your identity. Recently, the students' learning attitude has become much more upright. I think this is very good."

　　"I understand, Professor." Jiangcheng looked at the old professor with earnest eyes, "It's really hard for you."

　　"I won't say more, I have another class in a while."

　　"I'll see you off."

　　When Jiangcheng came back, Fatty and the others were gathered behind a corner not far from the classroom, talking about something.

　　"Doctor." Fatty said quickly, "We're waiting for you. There's a new situation with Yuan Xiaoyi."

　　"Where is she?" Jiangcheng asked as he walked.

　　"She's downstairs, Huai Yi and the others are watching her." Fatty followed closely and said, "This was what Cha Zhanpeng told us just now. He secretly told us that Yuan Xiaoyi had another episode. Today, she was talking to herself about the missing female students."

　　As soon as they arrived downstairs, they saw Huai Yi and several others gathered together. In the corner, a girl was lowering her head, carrying the pink backpack they had seen yesterday.

　　Yuan Xiaoyi's body was shaking non-stop, as if she was frightened. They could faintly hear her sobs.

　　"What's going on?" Fatty asked in confusion. She was clearly fine just now.

　　Huai Yi greeted them, turned his head and glanced behind him, and said with a gloomy face, "It was fine at first, it was all Wang Qi who caused trouble. Now Yuan Xiaoyi won't say a word, and there's no way to coax her."

　　"Don't panic, tell me slowly." Jiangcheng said, "What exactly happened?"

　　"Just now, we called Yuan Xiaoyi down, thinking of learning about some information. Yuan Xiaoyi told us that she had a dream last night, and dreamed of one of the girls, and then that girl grabbed her hand and wanted to say something to her in a hurry."

　　"She was woken up by the scare. When she woke up, she found that the dormitory door was open, and there were water stains at the door. The water stains went all the way from the shower room to her bed."

　　"She is sure that her missing friend came back to find her!"

　　"Then what?" Compared to this, Jiangcheng was more curious about what Wang Qi said.

　　Huai Yi lowered his voice and said with a strange expression, "After hearing this, Wang Qi suddenly smiled in a weird tone and said: Those who have done nothing wrong need not fear ghosts knocking on their door (wu zuo kui xin shi, mo pa gui jiao men)."
