Gentle Sleep Instructor

Chapter 1257 Song Yuting

"This is bound to happen. Miss Li Bai, don't be too optimistic."

Yao Shunyu shrugged indifferently, bluntly stating what Jiang Cheng was thinking. With Luo Tianhe's skills, once he gets involved in a mission world related to feng shui and geomancy, it would be difficult for teammates not to fall victim to his schemes.

"Luo Tianhe is an expert in this field, and Yuan Shanyuan is not far behind. We are at a disadvantage."

Jiang Cheng recalled his encounters with Yu Chengmu, another expert in the yin arts, each of which was extremely dangerous. Fortunately, his allies that time were reliable. In the end, Chen Hao's team of four was almost wiped out, with only Du Moyu surviving.

If Wu wasn't helpful at the critical moment, they would have likely died at the hands of that old fellow Yu Chengmu.

Hearing this, Li Bai nodded to the two of them, making a reassuring gesture, "You two don't need to worry too much about this. I also know a little about feng shui and geomancy. Although I'm not as proficient as masters like Luo Tianhe and Yu Chengmu, I can still recognize some common feng shui layouts and won't suffer too much."

The fatty's face remained calm, but his heart was churning violently. Thinking about Li Bai's low profile along the way, he couldn't help but sigh at how likely doctors were to be scheming.

Suddenly, the fatty thought of Du Moyu, who he hadn't heard from since their last parting, "By the way, do you know Du Moyu? He's a paranormal fiction writer in real life."

Li Bai was interrupted, and frowned slightly, "Du Moyu... I haven't heard of him. Is he special?"

The fatty recalled Du Moyu's performance in the mission, which seemed just so-so, far from being comparable to the doctor. Besides, sometimes no news is good news.

"He's alright, I guess. We're friends, so I wanted to know about his recent situation. Never mind, please continue." The fatty made a gesture to continue.

"Compared to Luo Tianhe, this Yuan Shanyuan is even more mysterious, especially Bai Yu, who stands by his side. I can't even find any evidence in reality to corroborate Bai Yu's existence."

Even the usually calm Li Bai couldn't help but become cautious when mentioning this mysterious woman, "I've been investigating them for a long time, but they've left very few traces. It wasn't until recently that I made a breakthrough."

As she spoke, Li Bai took out her phone, found a photo album, and showed a photo to everyone. The moment the fatty saw the photo, his eyes froze.

The photo showed a girl with fair skin, a slender figure, and long hair draped over her shoulders. Her smile gave people a youthful and radiant feeling. The background seemed to be a university campus, with students walking in groups of two or three under the cherry blossom trees not far behind.

Most importantly, the girl in the photo was Bai Yu!

"This... this is Bai Yu!" The fatty was completely stunned, "How did you get her photo?"

After a while, the fatty's gaze at the photo gradually calmed down. He realized that the Bai Yu in the photo seemed to be different from the Bai Yu he encountered in the mission.

Her temperament. Yes, it was her temperament!

The Bai Yu in the mission was silent and reserved, exuding a strange aura that kept strangers away, while the Bai Yu in the photo was completely optimistic, cheerful, and generous. The two were only similar in appearance, but completely different in temperament.

"Is this not Bai Yu, but her twin sister?" Jiang Cheng also keenly noticed the difference between the two Bai Yu's, and this difference made him feel vigilant.

"The woman in the photo is indeed not Bai Yu, but a university student in the art department of Jiangzhou University, named Song Yuting. According to my investigation, this Song Yuting is an only child and has no twin sister."

"Moreover... she is also a Disciple, and her aptitude is not bad, with experience surviving multiple missions."

Jiang Cheng stared at Li Bai's eyes, "You found this person in private."

Li Bai was silent for a moment, then shook her head slightly, her expression rare and complex, "She disappeared not long ago. When she was found, only a corpse remained."

Taking out a photo, Li Bai hesitated and handed it to Jiang Cheng. The moment Jiang Cheng saw the photo, he couldn't help but frown. Calling it a corpse was not even quite accurate. It was just a large mass of bloody flesh, barely showing limbs, barely piecing together the shape of a person.

"The body was found in a small forest in a remote scenic area. The skin on her body was gone. The police concluded that it had been peeled off by someone using an unknown method, and it was peeled off very cleanly."

"The case happened two weeks before we entered this mission, and even when I entered the mission, the police had not found Song Yuting's skin, and had no clue about the progress of the case." Li Bai's voice was cautious and reliable.

A bold and bizarre idea emerged in everyone's mind. Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, "So, the skin that Bai Yu is wearing was peeled off from this Song Yuting?"

Without directly answering the question, Li Bai found a few more photos, all of which were bloody bodies, as many as seven or eight in total, "These are all heinous skinning cases that have occurred across the country recently. The methods used can confirm that they were all committed by the same person, or the same group of people."

"Moreover, according to my investigation, all the victims were women, and without exception, all were Disciples."

"The frequency of the cases is also very interesting, about every two to three weeks, and the longest time does not exceed two months."

Li Bai's words sounded an alarm for everyone. This time interval was about the interval between two missions, which meant that every time after coming out of a mission, Bai Yu would kill a person, then put on new skin, and continue the next mission.

"Is there any more direct clues?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"I have a recording here, which I got from the police. Listen to it." Li Bai brought up the recording and held the phone in her hand. Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.

"Huff—, huff—"

It was a series of running sounds, as well as heavy breathing, like someone was running fast. The sound of shoes stepping on fallen leaves could be heard.

"She's coming, she's coming for me. My feeling is right, she's targeting me, she's really targeting me! Damn it, no matter where I hide, she'll find me!"

"She must have planted a mark on me, it must be!"

"I can sense it, there is always an eye watching me, no matter what I am doing, where I am going, it is watching me, but I... but I can't find that eye!"

"She's not human, she's... she's a ghost!"

"But why can a ghost enter the same mission as me?"

"It's her, she killed everyone, she let me go on purpose, I'm so stupid, I thought I got rid of them in the mission, yes, there's also an old fellow named Pei Yuan, they're in the same gang!"
