Chapter 15 The Extra One... Who Is It?

"The extra person... who is it?"

At this moment, Luo Yi also saw the problem.

But the girl named Zhang Yinyin was even faster than him. She reached out and took another camera, her movements surprisingly direct.

After a while...

"No," she put down the camera, her face turning ugly, but the words that followed made everyone extremely uneasy.

She lowered her voice and said, "In this video, there are only 48 people."

Zhou Taifu, who was trembling non-stop, stared at the camera in Jiang Cheng's hand, his tone rising uncontrollably, "So... one of our cameras captured a ghost?!"

No one answered.

This was an undeniable answer.

Saying it from his mouth at this moment only served to alleviate his anxiety.

Sure enough, it was close to the initial guess.

These two cameras had a story.

The one given by the NPC could capture eerie existences invisible to the naked eye.

No one spoke again.

The atmosphere was frighteningly oppressive for a while...

"Alright," Luo Yi stood up at this time. He first exchanged a look with Zhen Jianren, and after realizing that the latter didn't stop him, he said, "Don't be so pessimistic. At least we've found the ghost in the mission."

"The next step," he paused, "is to confirm the ghost's identity."

Unexpectedly, Yu Wen immediately followed up, "How do we confirm it?"

"First, compare the photos to identify the ghost's appearance, and then with the photo..." Looking at Yu Wen who asked the question, Luo Yi's face showed a puzzled expression.

This was not difficult to understand, after all, Yu Wen was definitely not a newcomer.

How could she ask such a question?

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Cheng handed over the camera in his hand, "Then I'll leave it to you," he nodded.

Although a little confused, Luo Yi still took the camera and began to compare who the extra person was.

Before long, Luo Yi seemed to have discovered something, his expression a little strange.

The fatty asked him what was wrong, but he didn't answer, instead taking the other camera from Zhang Yinyin's hand.

The other camera was normal.

It was just that the lens was damp, and the video it took was not very clear.

"How... how could this be?!"

Yu Wen looked at Luo Yi, who was losing control of his emotions, the calmness in her eyes exactly the same as Jiang Cheng's.

He paused both cameras on the final chorus interface, wanting to compare who the extra one was.

But strangely, he failed.

Luo Yi seemed to have gone mad, his eyes turning red as he compared them one by one, from the first row to the last, in a left-to-right order, making sure not to miss anyone.

But the final result was... everyone who had appeared in the first photo could be found in the other photo.

There was no extra person...

But this was impossible, because there were clearly 49 people in the first photo.

And only 48 in the second.

After noticing the abnormality in the number of people, Jiang Cheng keenly captured this point, and his understanding was that it was caused by the restriction in the mission.

"Enough," Zhen Jianren stopped Luo Yi, whose mental state was already a little wrong. Perhaps there were other dangers hidden in the photos.

Leaving the camera, Luo Yi's state visibly declined, as if his energy had been drained.

After sending Luo Yi to the bed to rest, Zhen Jianren gritted his teeth and looked at Yu Wen, "What do we do next?"

After all, he was sure that the thing was in Yu Wen's hands.

"Mr. Hao," Yu Wen turned to look at Jiang Cheng, "what are your thoughts?"

Jiang Cheng didn't decline, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Since the ghost appears in this way, then I think she should be a student here, and most likely participated in the chorus."

"Of course," he paused, "I mean in the past, that is, before she died."

"So after she died, she was obsessed and came to the rehearsal site, repeating her previous experience," Zhang Yinyin frowned, and then said.

Jiang Cheng looked at her, feeling that she was different from when he first met her, and understood in his heart, "I think the word 'resentment' is more appropriate."

Everyone agreed.

"Remember what the woman in charge of the rehearsal said?" Yu Wen raised her head, her expression a little strange, "At that time, Long Tao had only been in the bathroom for a little longer, but she immediately suspected that something had happened to him."

The fatty nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "That's right, I remember too, I was scared at the time."

"So... she must know something." Zhou Taifu stroked his chin and said slowly, "We can start with her, and the next time we meet, we can subtly ask what she meant by 'something happened'."

At this moment, he seemed like a different person. Not only could he keep up with everyone's train of thought, but he even took the initiative to put forward his own opinions.

With the ideas clarified, the following things were much simpler.

According to the clues obtained, everyone simply pieced together the plot of this mission.

The ghost was a student at the school before her death.

Female.

Died for some unknown reason.

Most likely a malicious event, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the cruelty of her methods.

Compared to simple killing, this was more like a long-planned revenge.

Yu Wen boldly proposed the idea that the girl may have been violently assaulted and then dismembered.

The basis was that there were few men in such a large academy, and even the security personnel were women, which was very abnormal.

But if it was said that because of the girl's case, the school faced huge pressure, which led to the dismissal of a large number of male employees and male teachers, it seemed to make sense.

"So the focus of our work in the near future should be on verifying the girl's identity," Jiang Cheng sat upright in his chair, raising his head, with the demeanor of an old cadre, "Next, I will make task arrangements for everyone."

"First," he emphasized, "we should have a team go to the rehearsal woman to understand the situation."

"Secondly, there should also be a team to go deep into the grassroots to inquire about any rumors among the students," he paused, "The school will definitely try its best to cover up this kind of thing, but it is difficult to guarantee that no wind will leak to the students' ears, they are particularly curious about this kind of thing."

He took a deep breath and looked around, "Next is the equipment center, after all, the camera that can capture ghosts came from there, so we still need a team..."

Hearing this, everyone's faces darkened.

The first two were barely acceptable, but this last one...

Just thinking of the old man's pale cheeks and his sickly appearance made people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

"I agree with your arrangement," Yu Wen's face gradually rippled, she looked into Jiang Cheng's eyes, and after a moment, her lips moved, but she didn't make a sound.

On the other hand, Zhen Jianren sneered, "You have a good plan, using the name of command to let others explore the way to the equipment center."

Someone started, and someone echoed, "That's right, the equipment center is the most dangerous, whoever wants to go can go, I'm not going anyway!"

Seemingly worried about being excluded, Zhou Taifu, who was yelling, wrapped his only vest tighter around his body and continued to shout, "I have no objection to the first two."
