"The school teachers looked for us many times because of this matter. At first, we all disagreed with disbanding it, because it was our freedom, and it didn't affect others."

"But later, a teacher found me privately." Speaking of this, Yuan Xiaoyi's voice also became smaller, as if she had some unspeakable secrets.

"The teacher told me that I was different from the five of them. My family is from the countryside. I was able to come here to study because the school reduced my tuition and provided me with a scholarship."

"The teacher reminded me that the school leaders were already unhappy about this matter. She warned me to be grateful, to be grateful to the school."

"And said, if... if this club continues to exist, then I will lose the qualification to be considered for this year's scholarship."

"But I... but I really didn't expect something would happen to them!" Yuan Xiaoyi became agitated, her shoulders trembling. "What I was thinking was to let them personally go to the rumored haunted places to take a look. As long as they find that there's nothing there, then the rumors will be dispelled."

"After all, those are just legends, some unfounded things. Although I also like ghost stories, I'm clear that those are fake!"

"As long as they're willing to admit that the supernatural events on campus are fake, then this club will have no meaning to exist."

Yuan Xiaoyi didn't say the following words, but everyone understood that as long as the club was disbanded, she would be able to get the convenience provided by the school, and she would be able to continue studying here in peace.

But the result was... those who went to find the ghost stories really had an accident and disappeared from this world from then on.

Perhaps Yuan Xiaoyi didn't expect that supernatural events really existed. In the dark corners of this world, there were indeed some existences she couldn't understand.

And her five missing friends encountered these things.

In other words, the stories they told were likely to be true.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng's fingers clenched slightly, and a momentary change appeared in his eyes. He suddenly realized that the stories told by A Zhe, the girl in red, and the others not long ago were also true, and were their personal experiences.

Is there some kind of connection between them?

After a brief moment of thought, Jiang Cheng advised, "This isn't your fault. Don't blame yourself too much. You're just an ordinary student. If I were you, I would make the same choice. After all, no one knew it would end up like this."

Hearing Jiang Cheng say this, a glimmer of light appeared in Yuan Xiaoyi's dim eyes, "Really? You don't think I harmed them?"

"Things have already happened. There's no point in dwelling on the reasons now. As for whether you harmed them, don't you have any self-awareness in your heart?"

That's what he thought, but the reaction on his face was another pose. Jiang Cheng leaned down, touched Yuan Xiaoyi's head, and encouraged her with a firm look, gently saying, "Of course not. You're a good girl. Don't put all the pressure on yourself. Please... let me help you share it too."

The light in Jiang Cheng's eyes seemed to dispel the haze in Yuan Xiaoyi's heart all along. The other party looked at his face and didn't come back to her senses for a long time. "Thank you. With your help, Brother, we will definitely be able to find them and prove that they exist!"

Affectionately ruffling Yuan Xiaoyi's head, Jiang Cheng signaled her to continue talking, as detailed as possible. This was very important.

"That's right." Jiang Cheng reminded, "Since you formed a club, you should also have a place for club members to gather, right?"

Yuan Xiaoyi nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, it's inside the university student activity center."

Hearing this, Huai Yi noticed something was wrong and asked suspiciously, "You dare to choose the club's activity location in the activity center?"

Yuan Xiaoyi said earlier that the school didn't support them, but now she said that their club's gathering place was in the activity center. Isn't this slapping herself in the face?

Seeing everyone's confusion, Yuan Xiaoyi showed an apologetic look and immediately explained, "It's not what you think. Although our gatherings are inside the activity center, they're not in the kind of classroom with a sign. It's in an inconspicuous, abandoned warehouse."

"Not many people come there, and we only go there on Friday nights."

"Abandoned warehouse..." It didn't sound like a good place, but for the sake of the mission, everyone was still prepared to take a look.

The middle-aged man then asked, "Can you take us there to take a look?"

It was originally a very simple question, but Yuan Xiaoyi revealed a look of embarrassment and said softly, "If I go, I will be discovered immediately."

Only then did everyone realize that things were different now than before. Yuan Xiaoyi was very famous in the school. It was estimated that as soon as she appeared in the activity center, the teacher would know.

Currently, Jiang Cheng and the others had just arrived in this world and didn't want to have conflicts with the teachers in the school.

"Then draw a map for us." Jiang Cheng said as a second choice, "Mark the location of the warehouse."

This time, Yuan Xiaoyi agreed very readily. She opened the zipper of her schoolbag, then took out a notebook from it, drew a route map on it, tore off this page after drawing, and handed it to Jiang Cheng. "There's one thing I need to remind you. After they disappeared, I went there, but it had completely changed."

Mentioning this, Yuan Xiaoyi's eyes were filled with confusion. "I don't know why, but the things inside were all replaced, and all traces of what existed were gone. Now it's being used as the sports teacher's nap room."

"As long as it really existed, then it will definitely leave traces." Shen Mengyun's thoughts were the same as Jiang Cheng's.

She said to Yuan Xiaoyi, "Tell us in detail about the layout of the warehouse at that time, especially things related to the ghost story club."

Yuan Xiaoyi began to recall, and while talking, she was worried that they wouldn't be able to remember, so she drew on the notebook while explaining. According to what she said, everyone had a preliminary understanding of the layout of the warehouse.

After taking this piece of paper as well, everyone prepared to leave. If others saw them together with Yuan Xiaoyi, it would cause unnecessary trouble.

After all, Jiang Cheng's true identity was just a transfer student, not Director Jiang, who could command the wind and summon the rain.

But just as they were about to leave, Yuan Xiaoyi, who had been a little hesitant just now, stopped them and stammered, "I'm afraid that if you go to the warehouse and see that there are no traces inside, you won't believe me. I... I also have a very important piece of evidence that can prove that everything I said is true."

After saying that, Yuan Xiaoyi opened her mouth, as if she had thought of something. She didn't dare to say it out loud. She took out her phone from her pocket, and after clicking on the screen a few times, the screen that was still lit up suddenly went dark.

Jiang Cheng and his group gathered around and found that it was a photo.

The background was very dark, and it was taken at night.
