In the cafeteria.

Jiang Xuyan was just about to take the tray to find a seat when he sneezed a few times.

Tang Zinian quickly hid his plate. “Teacher Jiang, don’t let your saliva stain my plate.”

“What do you mean by ‘stain’?” Jiang Xuyan was dissatisfied. “Shouldn’t you be concerned about my health?”

“Teacher Jiang looks very healthy… Compared to your physical condition, it’s more likely that someone is talking about you.”

Jiang Xuyan waved his hand. “Don’t blame me, Director Wei-”

The few of them sat together. Since the cameraman was always around, they could only discuss the “related plot.”

However, the clues they had now were pitifully few. No matter how much they discussed, they could not come up with anything new.

Therefore, compared to solving the mystery, everyone was more concerned about who the “traitor” was.

“He just entered the school not long ago. The traitor might not even know that he’s a traitor.”

“The character card that Director Wei gave me doesn’t have any hidden information on it. It’s all for others to see. This is too difficult.”

“So we still have to explore separately, right?” Zhao Yingnan’s face was full of reluctance.

“There are a total of seven mysteries. There are exactly seven of us. We can speed up the progress by exploring separately.” Yu Muhuai said calmly, “And we should be wary of everyone. No one can guarantee that they are not the ‘traitor’.”

“That’s right.” Shu Ling continued, “And I feel that there’s another person who should be included.”

“Another person?” Tang Zinian did not react in time.

“That special guest.” Xu Xingzhou said, “We still don’t know what kind of identity he has.”

Everyone agreed.

And according to Wei Zheng Rong, the special guest should be very popular.

Since that was the case, they wouldn’t be like extra NPCs who were only here to make a cameo appearance. They should be playing an important role in it.

The few of them planned their itinerary in their hearts as they ate. After dinner, they went straight to the activity room of the Mystery Club.

“This should be our base camp.”

Jiang Xuyan said while looking at the sign at the door.

The activity room was located on the top floor of a teaching building in the corner of the school.

Although it was called an activity room, it was actually a small classroom that could only accommodate a dozen students. There was a line written on the blackboard in the classroom with chalk: “Unusual phenomena can always provide clues, but cases without any characteristics are difficult to solve.”

On the left side of the chalk was a small map of the school, which was exactly what they needed. Unfortunately, they could not tear it off, so they could only copy it or remember it in their minds.

Apart from that, there were also many sticky notes on the blackboard. The notes were all about the cleaning and activity arrangements of the Mystery Club’s activity room.

Other than Song Qingyou and Xu Xingzhou, everyone else’s names appeared.

There was also Li Xiaohua.

“Li Xiaohua?” Jiang Xuyan was the first to see it and he even complained, “This name is too random!”

“The name isn’t important. What’s important is that we’re not the only ones in the Mystery Club.”

Shu Ling walked closer to take a look. “Do you still want us to look for her?”

The two of them tore off the note with Li Xiaohua’s name on it and pasted it on the long table in the middle. Then, they went to check other things.

The activity room of the Mystery Club was decorated very carefully by the program team. Not only was there a blackboard full of hints, but there were also various mystery novels and magazines of different ages on the bookshelf in the corner, as well as a desktop computer placed by the window.

Song Qingyou pulled out a folder from the side of the bookshelf. Inside was the register of the members of the Mystery Club.

The others were attracted over and watched as well.

“Li Xiaohua is indeed a member of the Mystery Club. Quick, let’s see which class she’s from. If we find her, we should be able to learn something…”

Before Shu Ling could finish her sentence, Yu Muhuai, who was flipping through various newspapers, said,

“There’s no need to look for it.”

He pulled out a statement from the newspaper.

The declaration was obviously torn from the wall, and there were signs of tearing at the bottom.

Below the words ‘solemn declaration’ was the school’s detailed explanation.

“Recently, a student claimed on the Internet that someone was scared to death in our school… After verification by our school, this news is purely a rumor…”

“Student Li from XX Department, heart attack…The school is deeply sorry…”

The statement didn’t say Li Xiaohua’s full name. It only said which department she was from, but the program team couldn’t just make a statement here.

Therefore, the student who had a heart attack and was rumored to have gone crazy was a member of the Mystery Club.

“Hiss-why do I feel so chilly here?” Jiang Xuyan rubbed his arms.

It was already September, and Beijing was indeed getting cooler.

“This can’t be an adaptation of a real person’s story, right?”

Yu Muhuai walked straight to the window. “It’s because the window wasn’t closed.”

“Pfft.” Tang Zinian laughed out loud. “The scary atmosphere that we just had is gone with a bang.”

Shu Ling said faintly, “To be honest, Li… What happened to our classmates, will it happen to us?”

After all, Wei Zheng Rong didn’t say if they would be eliminated.

Zhao Yingnan took a step back. “Well, let’s solve the puzzle quickly. Once we solve the puzzle, we won’t have to be afraid anymore.”

Song Qingyou nodded. “Let’s go to these legendary places first. Maybe we can find some traces.”

“Can I not go?” Zhao Yingnan swallowed her saliva. “I always feel that it’s a little scary.”

The production team had already arranged for them to undergo a physical examination in advance. It was impossible not to scare them.

“There are so many magazines on the bookshelf and these newspapers. There should be useful information in them. I can stay in the activity room to investigate…”

“We weren’t in a team anyway.” Song Qingyou said, “You can stay here if you want.”

Zhao Yingnan breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to say something, the bell rang again.

“Forget about the bell for lunch, why is it ringing again? Don’t tell me they want us to have afternoon tea?”

“It’s more likely to remind us to go to class than afternoon tea.”

Yu Muhuai walked to the door and saw a few people walking towards the teaching building. He confirmed his guess.

“We’re still students. Of course, it’s natural for us to attend classes.”

After saying that, he quickly walked out.

Seeing that the person behind her still hadn’t reacted, Song Qingyou reminded him, “Let’s go too.”

The university courses were all held in different classrooms. They didn’t even have a class schedule now, so they could only hurry up and follow the NPCs.

“I won’t be locked up in a small dark room if I’m late, right?”

Jiang Xuyan’s words made them come back to their senses.

In this situation, it depended on everyone’s speed and reaction.

The fastest was, of course, Yu Muhuai. He was the first to run.

But no one, including the production team, expected Song Qingyou, who was wearing a fishtail dress and high heels, to be the second one.

She was walking so fast and steadily, and there was no sign of her being restrained by her ‘equipment’ at all.

Wei Zhengrong became silent.

“Don’t worry, Director,” his assistant comforted him.. “Didn’t we prepare a lot of clothes that restrict movement? There will always be a chance to get Sister Qingyou to wear them!”
