This Damned Thirst for Survival

The group ran furiously to the school building, with the sad-faced participants glancing up at them listlessly on the way, and then down again, haggardly.

Sai Liaoer, still confused about what was happening, asked blankly as she ran, “Why are we running? What is Jiang talking about? Why are they upset?”

Wen Renlian gave him a compassionate look, “We’ll take you to first place.”

Sai Liaoer was surprised for a moment, then giggled, “Did we win?”

Ge Zhu exclaims, “Sai Liaoer , you are so happy.” Nothing was done, muddling through.

By the time they got to the office, Liu Zhi had already been caught by the police. He was clearly not expecting this sudden arrest, and his meticulously combed hair was in disarray as he was escorted to the car in a state of disarray.

The other teachers said, “Comrade police, why are you arresting Mr. Liu? Mr. Liu has not done anything illegal.”

Jiang Luo stands on the outskirts of the crowd watching the scene.

The tournament authorities obviously knew that a murder had taken place here, and even knew how it happened, who the killer was and who the victim was.

They called the police in advance, and whether or not any students were able to get their answers in the end, the police would storm the school the moment the game was over to arrest the culprits.

Jiang Luo was able to deduce the whole story without alerting the murderer or even conducting a search, except for the jury teachers.

He touched the yin and yang ring, which had never been opened, returned to his senses and walked through the crowd with his companions, into the office.

Surprisingly, however, by the time they arrived, the people from Shanhai University were already ready to smash the wall.

Liu Zhi’s office is by the window, with no additional desk or chair behind it, but an open space, followed by a white wall.

The width of the facade is normally 240, but a quick glance at Jiang Luo shows that the wall is 360 wide, which is more than enough to fit a person in.

Bai Yefeng is sitting at Liu Zhi’s desk.

He flipped leisurely through a newspaper, the light from the incandescent lamp hitting his face, cutting his features in an uneven, straight line between light and dark.

If you add a brand new suit and leather shoes to Bai Yefeng, you have the look of a standard teacher.

“There you are,” Bai Yefeng smiled as he put the newspaper down and looked at the slightly out of breath Bai Hua University crowd, “What’s the rush?”

Jiang Luo’s face was slightly flushed from running, and beads of sweat were beading up at the corners of his forehead as he said with a wry smile, “What are you doing, Bai?”

Bai Yefeng gave an “umph”, “We’re looking for answers.”

“Coincidentally,” Jiang Luo smiled like a flower as he walked through the people of Shanhai University and placed his hand gently on the wall, “we are also looking for answers.”

Originally, Jiang Luo was not obsessed with being first or not first.

But when he found out that Bai Yefeng wanted the number one spot, it was the one he had to have.

Chi You manipulated Bai Yefeng into coming to this match for the sole purpose of Yuan Tianzhu, who was worth all the trouble the evil spirits went to.

It can only be said that Yuan Tianzhu is indeed a good thing, and even the evil spirits cannot resist the temptation. Jiang Luo thought about Yuan Tianzhu and the Yuan Tianzhu that was lost by the owner of the funeral parlour on the seventh day of Chi You’s death.

Did Chi You take the Yuan Tianzhu that was lost that day? Was it because of the Yuan Tianzhu that Chi You became so powerful on that day?

If that were the case, Jiang Luo would never have allowed Chi You to get Yuan Tianzhu again.

He laughed and touched the wall, “Classmate White, I got through two calls two nights ago from the first girl who went missing back then, she wanted me to dig her up and get her relief, I promised her a good deal, you’re making it a little hard for me to do that now.”

The people of Shanhai University opened their mouths to scold him, but good-looking people always have some privileges. They mumbled half a word at Jiang Luo’s smile, and one by one they turned their heads to look at Bai Yefeng.

Bai Yefeng stood up, walked step by step to Jiang Luo and said with a low smile, “Jiang, it’s all about first come, first served.”

Jiang Luo looked at him calmly, his pretty eyes slowly lifting and the corners of his lips slowly pulling back, ” Bai Yefeng, you know first come first served.”

He Yu Guang glanced over the students of Shanhai University and said with a smile, “You obviously heard the conversation between me and the female ghost last night and learned the location of the female ghost’s corpse from it. And today you are leading people straight to this place, telling me about the principle of first come, first served?”

“You don’t have to say you didn’t hear me, I won’t believe your lies,” Jiang Luo looked over at a Shanhai University boy, “Hey, how did Bai Yefeng lead you here? Did you follow the clues, or did you just know the answer was here out of the blue?”

“This ……” beads of sweat slid down the boy’s head and he couldn’t say anything else.

Because Jiang Luo was telling the truth, Bai Yefeng did not say anything and took them straight to the office.

Even when they were ready to smash the wall, they didn’t know what they were going to do by smashing it.

Stealing someone else’s answers for your own use, although you can do anything to win, is too shameful in the eyes of this group of university students who have not yet graduated.

Is this really something Bai Yefeng would do?

Xu Yan opened his mouth to speak for Bai Yefeng, when Wen Renlian walked up to Xu Yan and patted him on the shoulder, “Students, be honest, did you really find a clue that the body was inside the wall?”

Xu Yan hesitated and eventually closed his mouth.

Jiang Luo looked around for a moment before finally setting his eyes on Bai Yefeng with a hidden smile, “Bai, who would you say came first and came last?”

Bai Yefeng looked deep into Jiang Luo’s eyes, a darkness that slowly encroached upon Jiang Luo.

One of the people smashing the wall suddenly threw his stuff away and said stubbornly with a red face, “I’m not smashing it, it’s not a clue we found, I don’t want it even if I give it to me.”

The man beside him pulled him and the boy said even louder, “What are you pulling me for? If I lose, I lose anyway, I have a clear conscience!”

A shaken look appeared on the faces of the others as they looked hard at the wall and then at the tools in their hands.

At the end of the day, Jiang Luo suddenly sighed, “Forget it, let’s each take a step back and think of it as an answer we found together.”

All eyes were on him.

Jiang Luo laughed bitterly, “I believe that student Bai had a good reason for doing this, he just wanted to take you all into the next level. There are less than twenty of us from the two schools combined, so since we’re all here, we might as well work together to enter the next level.”

They had previously been hostile to Jiang Luo and had cursed him behind his back, but they had never expected Jiang Luo to be so spontaneous, not only not to pursue the previous matter, but also to give them half of the answer directly.

Their hearts were grateful and ashamed, and their lips were parted for a moment, unable to say anything.

Zhuo Zhongqiu moved his wrist, “Together, then? We’ll dig up the body first.”

Seeing that no one was refuting, they were about to make their move when the people from Shanhai University stopped them in unison. These young men said sullenly, “We’ll smash, you guys just watch.”

Having said that, they all started smashing the wall in unison.

Several thin slits were soon smashed into the wall, and as soon as the slits opened, maggots poured out along them. The Shanhai University students cried out in alarm and smashed up the wall even harder.

Jiang Luo looks on with aplomb, not even a little embarrassed that he has tricked someone else into willingly and guiltily smashing the wall for him when it was so close to being taken away from him.

A man came up to him with soft footsteps.

Bai Yefeng looked at the wall and muttered to himself, “This mouth of yours is amazing.”

Jiang Luo smiled sideways at him, his nonsense lips flushed and open, soft and beautiful, and he said, “Thank you.”

The wall was smashed open by the crowd, revealing four bodies. With the addition of Wang Xinhui, this matches the number of girls who have gone missing since 2012.

They were facing backwards with their backs to the crowd, their hair and bodies were already full of worms and the stench of decay filled the office in a moment.

One of the female corpses is facing Liu Zhi’s desk with her back straight on.

With the last problem solved, Jiang Luo pulled out his phone and sent a message, turning his head to look at Bai Yefeng and said gently, “Bai, I still have a few unanswered questions, can you come with me to look for clues?”

Bai Yefeng smiled and said, “Of course.”

Instead of being angered by Jiang Luo, he seems to have become even more excited after that scene.

But who can know what horrible and cruel thoughts may be in the heart of the evil spirit.

The duo exited the office alone.

It was an overcast day with black and blue clouds covering the distant sky, closing in on Evergreen High School.

“There was a swimming pool on the old campus,” Jiang Luo said with a smile, “and Jin Yuangao said that he and the female ghost used to date there when he was alive, and that he hid underground through the sewer of the swimming pool. I was curious as to why the ghost didn’t kill Jin Yuangao after he hid in the sewers. Bai students know a lot of things, let’s go together and have a look?”

The swimming pool is at the back of the school and is still filled with water. The quiet swimming pool is filled with ghostly blue water ripples floating quietly.

Instead, they saw what looked like a man in the middle of the pool.

The man was sunken under the water and appeared to have drowned.

Being a warm-hearted and kind-hearted person, Bai Yefeng frowned uncharacteristically, with no ripples in his eyes, but jumped in to save the day.

With swift and agile movements, he grabbed the man and tried to swim upstream. But to his surprise, he only caught an empty shirt.

Bai Yefeng froze and his face sank. He returned the way he had come and just as he emerged from the water, a foot in a Martin’s boot landed on his shoulder.

While the uppers of the Martin boots are clean and without a trace of dust, the mud from the journey just taken remains underfoot, leaving an even grey mark on Bai Yefeng’s shoulder.

Bai Yefeng looks up expressionlessly along this shoe, sweeping it across Jiang Luo’s work trousers and blouse and landing on Jiang Luo’s face.

Jiang Luo looks down at him, his long hair spilling over his shoulders.

In his hand he held a dagger, the tip of which was wrapped in a Fu Lu, against the centre of Bai Yefeng’s brow.

The red mole on the back of the black-haired youth’s left hand looks like freshly dripped blood, and one of his feet lifts up, with great strength and tenacity, to hold Bai Yefeng firmly in the cold pool of water.

The dagger held in his right hand had an extra ring than the last one, which was slipped around his white wrist, the ankle bone of his hand protruding gently and catching under the iron ring, so that if anyone tried to take the knife from him this time, they would have to cut off his whole hand.

“Behold, our Mr. Evil,” Jiang Luo cocked his head, his arrogant, flamboyant brow tilted with a mocking smile, “he has been fooled.”
