Chapter 55 - Devil Exchange

The sky slowly darkened. In the summer, night always falls quickly, and soon the whole sky becomes pitch black, and the night envelops the entire world endlessly.

The wind chimes hanging from the tree branches were blown by the wind, creating a crisp sound that sounded a bit eerie in this silent and spooky night.

Lets go. A girls voice came from afar. Her voice was small and shaky, sounding a little scared.

She thought that boys were terrible, going on dates in places like this.

What are you afraid of? Im here. The boy scoffed and was not too concerned.

But there have been two murders in the school recently. Not many people dare to come here to the library during the day, let alone at night. The girl was still a little scared, her voice getting even quieter. Even her breathing seemed to become a bit short due to the tension.

The boy didnt pay much attention to it and even deliberately or accidentally waved his hand over the girls body, causing her to back away from him.

Dont do that, the girls voice changed tone, and she even let out a shy laugh.

The red ribbon hanging on the tree was blown by the fine wind, swaying around and making a whirring sound.

Bang. Something huge and heavy fell to the ground, sending out a loud bang like a bright comet falling to earth, shaking the whole land.

Ahhhhh! The girls entire body trembled with a jolt and directly collapsed to the ground.

She had just seen a shadow fall from the sky!

The boys hand that had been fumbling around on the girls body also drew back in shock from the loud noise that came from the sky. His entire body also lay on the ground because of the girls power.

Thump, thump, They were positioned so close together that both could clearly hear the others rapid heartbeat.

The girls legs were a little soft.

The boys self-esteem was high, so despite the frightened heart about to jump out, he still had to stand up forcefully and calmly. The girl looked at him with a scared look and nervously grabbed the corner of the others coat in a shaky voice, What do we do?

Her face was white, and her body was all shaking from anxiety.

The boy wasnt much better than her. He gulped, his eyelids kept fluttering, and his legs were a little weak.

The girls gaze was still fixed on the boy as if she was waiting for him to make a move.

The boy forced a smile and helped the girl to her feet; cold sweat left his head. Finally, he faltered at the girls stare and said helplessly, How about, how about we walk over there.

The girl shook her head violently at the words. She was a little scared out of her wits, but she finally said with a cry, Okay, okay.

The two of them were like conjoined twins, taking every step carefully. Even the clicking sound they made when they stepped on the grass would make them panic as if they were facing an enemy.

The black mass was some distance away from the two of them.

The girl used the light of her phones flashlight and moved her body carefully step by step.

However, the light from the flashlight was too small to reach far, and the two could only shake their hands and keep flashing the light in front of them.

It was near

The two of them gulped subconsciously.

The part where the light hits was getting closer to the dark thing.

The two paused.

Ahhhhhhh! The girl held her head in her hands and screamed out frantically. Her legs seemed to be out of control, and she fell to her knees directly on the floor, her body shaking even more as she gasped for air.

Lying there was none other than a person.

A bloody corpse with the brains falling out!!

The girls lips were white as her throat moved. Her head was a little swollen, and she even got a little dizzy.

She got a good look at the persons face.

The girl swallowed her saliva.

It was Jiang Ling.

Did you hear? Someone died again!

Oh, God, I heard! After a pause, the person whispered, But I also heard that she committed suicide.

Eh! Stop it, you guys! Theres been so much going on at school lately! Its a little creepy for me hearing about it!

The sounds of gossip came in tiny bits and pieces from all around, in groups of three or two.

Wang Yezes teeth were clenched, and his eyebrows furrowed together. His expression was a bit fierce, and his ears were perked up as he eavesdropped on the whispers of the people around him. He couldnt help but frown with every few lines of gossip he heard about Jiang Lings suicide.

He had already gotten the news of Jiang Lings suicide the first time.

But this matter was too strange!

Luo Xiaoxiao is still alive. How could Jiang Ling commit suicide?

He didnt even know what the reason was for Jiang Lings suicide.

Thinking of this, he was a bit depressed, and his heart was even more agitated.

But he quickly consoled himself that whether it was Luo Xiaoxiao or Jiang Ling, who would die from these emotions, it would only be beneficial to him. Anyway, Jiang Ling would have had to die sooner or later, and now that she was dead, it would save him a lot of trouble.

As long as Luo Xiaoxiao died next, his mission would be complete.

Thinking like this, Wang Yeze relieved his frustration a little. He gave himself a small pep talk, and the hint of strangeness and even panic he felt about the matter was suppressed.

Its okay, no problem.

Wang Yeze comforted himself, patting his chest with his hand, and then his eyes turned stern and somewhat vicious.

Luo Xiaoxiao must die as soon as possible!

Xiao Chen had been sitting at the library window for over an hour, propping his head up and looking out the window at the Wishing Tree.

The area around the entrance below had been cordoned off by the police. A human figure had been traced on the ground in white ash, and the tragic state of the deceaseds death could be faintly figured out.

There was no one outside. To be precise, there were no more than a handful of people in the library, no activity at all.

Zhou Ming was sitting beside Xiao Chen, playing with a game console in his hand as usual while his legs were crossed.

Xiao Chen returned to his senses and rubbed his temples to relieve his fatigue.

With his glasses on, one couldnt clearly see his expression beneath them.

Zhou Ming changed his posture and remained silent from the start to the end, holding a game console in his hand.

In fact, if Xiao Chen hadnt been so distracted today, he should have noticed that there were many things wrong with Zhou Ming lately. Still, even if Xiao Chen had, he wouldnt have taken it to heart.

Zhou Ming, Xiao Chen suddenly spoke out, looking back at Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming looked up, his hand playing the game stopped, What?

Do you believe in ghosts and gods? Xiao Chens expression was faint, not sure what he was thinking about.

Zhou Ming sneered, No, I dont believe.

Xiao Chen continued to ask, Then what do you believe in.

Zhou Mings hand paused, and he pursed his lips, looking a little secretive for a moment, I believe in myself.

Xiao Chen didnt say anything, but Zhou Ming hooked his lips. His eyes glittered with an unknown light as he looked at Xiao Chen and asked in return, Xiao Chen, do you know what the nature of the world is?

Xiao Chens mind seemed to grasp something, but the strange feeling quickly disappeared from his mind. He paused, his eyes somewhat dim, and said truthfully, I dont know.

Zhou Ming didnt look surprised at all to hear Xiao Chens answer. He just tilted his head, still looking careless, and shrugged his shoulders, I also dont know.

The two of them quieted down in tacit agreement.

What was the nature of the world?

The place was a movie.

The boy stood by the door with a gloomy face. He held a stool in his hand and smashed the door madly as if he was desperate for something. His eyes were wide open and bloodshot, and his expression was fierce.

Where is he!!! His voice was hoarse and was almost mute as if his voice had been broken from exertion.

Where is he? He slammed the stool down on the door. There were already numerous dips in the metal door, all of which were from being hit.

Outside the door, the nurses were in chaos and gathered in a group to discuss measures.

The boy threw the stool to the ground with a loud bang.

He formed a fist and started smashing the door as if he couldnt feel the pain. His hands were already bruised and blue, and even blood marks were produced. Still, he persevered and smashed the door like crazy.

What should we do? This patient has another episode! The nurses voice was trembling.

Once this patient had an attack, he would go crazy. It had been a full five months since his last episode, and she had almost forgotten that this boy was ruthless enough to cut off even his own fingers!

Thinking of this, she was a bit stiff and frightened when she heard the loud bang sound coming from the door.

The head nurse was the oldest but looked a bit flustered. She could only ask around, Wheres that boy who often comes looking for him? Get him quick!

There was no one here who didnt know that the boy was the only medicine he had.

There was a hurried voice in the corner that answered, Have you forgotten that boys surgery failed today? Hes been taken to the morgue!

The head nurse was frozen and was at a complete loss for words.

It was unclear if the boy had heard their conversation, but the smashing of the door was getting worse and worse, and he even started banging the door with his shoulder.

His voice was becoming increasingly maniacal and hoarse, He is there!!!! Give him back to me now!

My babys gone. Do you know where he is?
