Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Millman97
Chen Ge heard this female voice for the first time—it sounded almost the same age as Gao Ru Xue. The tone was laced with impatience and a very well-hidden resentment.
“I’m Gao Ru Xue’s friend. I wish to ask her out for dinner tonight,” Chen Ge said randomly. “Where is she?”
“She’s washing her hair. I’ll have her call you back later.”
“Thank you.” After hanging up, Chen Ge lay on his bed.
If this was a normal date, then it’s understandable for Gao Ru Xue to prepare, but she was obviously in a panic, and asking me out is to resolve the issue with her roommate. Under this circumstances, with her personality, she wouldn’t have wasted time with her appearance. Chen Ge had a feeling something bad had happened to Gao Ru Xue.
Five minutes later, Gao Ru Xue’s call came. After picking up, the girl’s familiar voice said, “I’m preparing to leave now.”
The door closed, and she sounded like she was in the corridor. The amount of background noise had decreased. “Where shall we meet tonight?”
“Name a place, I’ll go there now.” Chen Ge relaxed slightly when he heard it was Gao Ru Xue’s voice. She sounded fine.
“Why don’t you come to our school? Come in from the western gate. It normally isn’t guarded. We’ll meet behind the old education block.” Gao Ru Xue seemed to have walked into the bathroom. “Come quick, I keep finding weird stuff about that two roommates.”
“What happened?”
“During school, Liu Xianxian collapsed on the table and slept for the whole afternoon.”
“She explored the underground building at night, so it’s normal for her to sleep in the day.” Chen Ge did not think there was any problem with that.
“If she was just sleeping, I wouldn’t have been so worried.” Gao Ru Xue lowered her voice, feeling very unsafe. “During the second class, my pen fell to the ground. Just as I bent down to pick it up, I accidentally saw that Liu Xianxian wasn’t actually sleeping; her eyes were wide open, staring at the mirror inside her drawer.”
“A mirror?”
“Yes, to be precise, she was looking at herself inside the mirror.” Gao Ru Xue reconstructed the situation for Chen Ge. “Her eyes were bloodshot like she hated the person in the mirror very much, but wasn’t it herself inside the mirror?”
“Your roommates sound like they are possessed. Why don’t you move back home for now?”
“Okay, but I’ll meet you at school first. I still have many things to inform you.”
After the call was ended, Chen Ge was about to leave when his phone rang again. This time, it was from Captain Yan. “Such a coincidence? At a time like this.”
Chen Ge accepted the call, and before he could say anything, he heard Captain Yan say, “Come to the police station now. I have something very important to tell you.”
“Now?”
“Yes! It’s very important!”
Captain Yan sounded very serious, so Chen Ge promised, “I’ll be there in a minute, but I have something else to do tonight. I cannot stay for long.”
