Chapter 371: It’s Just a Rumor
Trantor: Zayn_
The show still had to be broadcast, so it was impossible to let the guests cheat.
Even though Xu Xingzhou’s character was a teacher, Wei Zhengrong didn’t want to be criticized.
Therefore, Xu Xingzhou and Song Qingyou both used another set of test papers.
Moreover, the difficulty was slightly higher than the others.
After the ssroom quieted down, the director’s assistant looked at the scene in the camera and whispered, “Director Wei, I heard that Sister Qingyou stopped studying after graduating from high school…Is there really no problem with that test paper?”
“She won’t be beaten even if she can’t answer it.” Wei Zhengrong wasn’t worried at all. “Besides, there are all kinds of questions on the test paper. We just need to cover it up during the post-editing.”
“Is that so…”
The assistant was relieved, but when the camera turned to Song Qingyou again, she said in surprise, “I don’t think she needs any help to cover it up. Sister Qingyou’s progress seem to be very smooth.”
“Is that so?”
Wei Zhengrong was curious, so he used his equipment to tell the camera to zoom in.
He then subconsciously took out the answers andpared them with Song Qingyou’s paper.
The exam segment was originally used by the program team to make things difficult for the guests and hinder their investigation. There were not only questions on high schoolnguage and mathematics, politics, history, geography, and physics, but there were also several questions on advanced mathematics and advanced physics.
Not to mention advanced mathematics and physics, the guests might not even remember the knowledge points in high school.
However, Song Qingyou did it from the beginning to the end without any ‘sluggishness’, which really shocked the program team.
“It seems like all her answers are correct.” The assistant said in a daze, “Sister Qingyou is too amazing! Director Wei, you really didn’t give out the answer, right?”
Wei Zhengrong rolled his eyes at her. “Even if I wanted to give an answer, I wouldn’t have given it to Song Qingyou!”
The subtext of these words was understood by everyone around him: Among the several guests, Song Qingyou had the lowest academic level. Even if he gave the answer, he should give it to others.
The assistant smiled awkwardly. “It seems that we underestimated Sister Qingyou again.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Shu Ling, who had been locked up in the small dark room, returned to the ssroom with a look of despair.
There was still half an hour before the end of the exam. There weren’t many questions on the paper, which should be enough for Shu Ling.
Half an hourter, the bell rang. The NPC Wei Zhengrong had arranged for had just arrived at the ssroom door, but before they could collect the exam papers, Song Qingyou and the others had already disappeared.
The NPCs in the ssroom looked at each other. Then, they heard Wei Zhengrong’s soft voice from the earpiece.
“Since they run so fast, we’ll arrange physical education for them in the next ss.”
“Starting from now, those who don’t make it to the field in half an hour will be locked up in the small dark room!”
Song Qingyou and the others didn’t know what Wei Zhengrong was thinking. They quickly exchanged information after leaving the ssroom.
Jiang Xuyan and Shu Ling couldn’t say much about the small dark room.
The three people who had gone to see the Red Maple Tree all said that they wanted to go to the activity room to check on the information first.
Song Qingyou told Yu Muhuai about the situation on the rooftop.
“Just arrange for two people to check the information.” Song Qingyou looked at them and analyzed, “The probability of both of them being werewolves is very small.”
“The rest of you, take note of the map and split up into groups to check the locations. We’ve already checked the rooftop and the red maple trees. There are four more locations.”
“It’s me.” Zhao Yingnan was the first to express her opinion. “I want to go to the activity room to check the information. This episode is full of weird things. I’m afraid.”
Song Qingyou nodded slightly. “Who’s going to help Sister Yingnan? If not, I’ll apany her.”
“I suspect that we’ll only be able to investigate these ghost story locations at night.” Yu Muhuai didn’t hesitate. “That’s why I want to be in the same group as Sister Zhao. We’ll do some research first.”
“Sure.” Song Qingyou nodded. “Then the few of us… I can act alone. What about you, Teacher Jiang?”
“I can’t. Abandoned campus or something…! feel like this ce is very suitable for a haunted house.” Jiang Xuyan looked at the empty campus. “Qingyou, I’ll go with you.”
As he spoke, he couldn’t help but quietly tug at Song Qingyou’s sleeve.
When he came back to his senses, he realized that he was holding Yu Muhuai. Thetter was standing beside him. Jiang Xuyan didn’t think much about it and let go of him with a dryugh.
Shu Ling, Tang Zinian, and Xu Xingzhou looked at each other, indicating that they wanted to move together.
The reason was either that it was safer to leave together, or that they were worried that someone would tamper with them and erase some clues…
In short, other than Yu Muhuai and Zhao Yingnan, the other five people set off for the library.
The school’s library took up an entire floor. It wasn’t big, but it wasn’t small for a middle school.
The books inside had not been moved away, and the more than fifty bookshelves looked full.
“How did the production team find this ce? It’s obvious that this school has just moved, but the books haven’t moved yet…”
They walked through the bookshelves.
Jiang Xuyan scratched his head. “What’s the ghost story here? I forgot…”
“The eyes behind the bookshelf,” Shu Ling said faintly.
“Eyes?” Jiang Xuyan moved away from the bookshelf in front of him and looked at the neatly arranged books. “How does this look like it has eyes?”
“Even if it’s a corpse, it shouldn’t be hidden on the bookshelf, right? Could it be that there were two people standing on both sides of the bookshelf looking for books, and then their eyes met? One of them was especially timid and was shocked, so he spread this rumor?”
“It’s possible.” Song Qingyou, who had fallen behind them and seemed to be observing them carefully, didn’t mind leading them into the ditch.
“The production team didn’t say that every ghost story is a murder case. They only asked us to investigate the truth. Some of the truth might just be false rumors.”
“I think so too-”
Jiang Xuyan unconsciously quickened his pace.
Reality proved that Song Qingyou’s analysis was very reasonable. There was nothing in the library.
Next, they went to the activity room of the Musical Instrument Club.
The activity room was a little empty. There were all kinds of posters and photos of the club members ‘activities on the walls.
All the other musical instruments had been taken away, except for a piano ced in the corner with two talismans pasted on it.
“Nothing special.” Jiang Xuyan looked disappointed. “I feel like we’ve been yed again.”
Shu Ling: “Teacher Jiang, are you saying that the library and the musical instrument club are just rumors?”
“Obviously.” Jiang Xuyan knocked on the piano. “A piano that can y by itself. Someone must have yed a prank and yed the piano, or someone secretly came to practice the piano.”
“It’s not unreasonable.” Shu Ling didn’t believe it was that simple, but she didn’tpletely reject it. “Qingyou, I remember you y the piano? Do you want to give it a try and see if there’s anything wrong with the piano itself?”
“Alright.”
Song Qingyou stood in front of the piano.
The elegant and cold tinkling sound sounded, and the melody waspleted in one go, as if it were alive, attracting people to stop.
But just as the four of them were entranced, the melodious sound of the piano suddenly stopped.
“What’s wrong?”
Jiang Xuyan wanted to ask why she didn’t continue-
When they met Song Qingyou’s suspicious gaze.
“Now is not the time to listen to me y the piano.. Are you all traitors?”
