The dance studio was extremely quiet. In the mirror, the man was the first to recover. He stood before the five girls and started to glare threateningly at them. One of the girls started to weep, so the man yanked her up from the floor and pointed his finger at her face while his lips moved. The girls shook her head vehemently.
Then, the girl who was as tall as Zhang Ya stood up. She walked over to the man and started to help him persuade the other girls. From how she carried herself, she seemed to know the man and shared a more than friendly relationship. Perhaps it was even she who planned for the man to appear just after the female teacher left.
With the girl’s persuasion and the man’s threat, the other girls finally nodded. After a few more minutes of discussion, the man was the first to leave. The five girls then entered the dressing room to change, and they all left soon after.
The mirror returned to normal, but the atmosphere in the dance studio grew tense. Chen Ge could feel the chill coming from his back; it felt like he was carrying a frozen dead body.
That’s all?
The mirror only recorded what had happened in the dance studio but did not go into what happened next. Chen Ge believed there had to be more than that. After falling from the fourth floor, as long as it wasn’t head first, Zhang Ya still had a chance of being rescued.
Red Specter harbors deep resentment… Maybe the fatty snuffed out Zhang Ya’s last breath because he was afraid of being exposed? The water system of the activities center has been renewed so perhaps the fatty used the system to deal with the body?
As the thought cropped up in his mind, Chen Ge rejected it. Zhang Ya was lost inside the school, so the police had to have been involved. Furthermore, cleaning up a body was not as simple as depicted on those crime dramas. Sometimes, the more one tried to hide, the more obvious it became.
Chen Ge was curious what happened next, but the mirror had stopped moving.Perhaps I should give Inspector Lee a call. This is a murder, and Western Jiujiang’s Private Academy is within their jurisdiction, so he must have some kind of record.
Chen Ge’s idea was not bad, but when he planned to pick up his phone, a scream came from behind him. Zhang Ya’s hair started to twine up his shoulders like snakes curling themselves around his neck and chest, tying them close together.
“I’m not leaving; I just want to help you!” Chen Ge argued before his breath was choked out of him. However, the black hair continued to constrict like a boa constrictor suffocating its prey. Perhaps from Zhang Ya’s perspective, this was the only way the two of them could be together—this was true love.
Chen Ge had escaped from the wolf’s den to enter the tiger’s cave. Now he understood why Zhang Ya’s love letter was a curse; this lady did not like living man, and the more she loved a man, the greater her desire to kill him.
Standing back to back, his limbs too weak to even resist, all Chen Ge could do was to argue his case. “I will help you call the police and have law enforcement provide justice by bringing all who have harmed you to the judgement of law!”
The words felt ineffective even to Chen Ge’s ears. Zhang Ya’s situation was unique. Unlike the family of four at Ping An Apartments, she did not need him for revenge. Those who had harmed her were trapped inside chairs already! And Chen Ge believed she had plenty to do with that.
The kind and graceful Zhang Ya had been completely corrupted into a mad specter. Chen Ge did not even dare to imagine the type of disaster that had befallen the five girls before they were trapped inside the chairs.
