24 4 Mysteries (1/2)

Xin Fan made his way to the school library. Although, the spot was popular with the older students, most of the younger students have not even stepped foot into the building. Xin Fan personally like the smell of old books. The library was arguably the largest building in the school. It was after all, the oldest building and had formations constructed all around it. If there was any place to evacuate in case of emergency, this would be it. As Xin Fan entered the library, he could see many familiar faces tirelessly studying. He could see the farming siblings studying spiritual plants. It seemed like they were deciding which seeds they will start to grow. Xin Fan sat down to take out his notes to study. After a hour of studying, he had started to get bored. From listening to the surroundings, there were many interesting rumors going around the schools. Things like a ghost in the infirmary or the existence of an extra room in one of the buildings. Xin Fan compiled a list of the most interesting once he heard.

1.Ghosts in the gym

2.The moving scarecrow

3.Missing room

4.Crying sounds in the boy's bathroom

Xin Fan asked around about the source of the rumors. Apparently there was someone in the 3rd grade who was spreading it around. There were many apparent witnesses to these mysterious events throughout the school. All these rumors have led up to one child. A boy named Chang Mo. Xin Fan asked around until he could finally meet up with him outside the gym. He looked shady as he was hunched over peeking inside the gym. Xin Fan walked up to confront him.

”So you're Chang Mo?”

The hunched boy quickly jumped back and looked at Xin Fan suspiciously. He seemed extremely paranoid and on his toes.

”W...What do you want? How do you know me?”

”I heard some interesting rumors in the library. Some people in the library say that you are responsible for the rumors.”

Chang Mo did not seem convinced and only seemed more suspicious of Xin Fan. His reaction was somewhere between angry and scared.

”How can I trust you. What if you are part of THEM.”

”Who's them.”

”Don't play dumb! I have seen the mysteries with my own two eyes.”

Chang Mo pointed at the gymnasium. In the gym, there were kids playing with a ball. They were bouncing it and throwing it at each other. They were passing it around a circle. A person in the middle was trying to catch the ball however kept falling as he misses it.

”At night, there would be shadows playing in the dark. I heard the bouncing of balls myself. However, when I entered, there was nothing there. This must be the work of THEM. Hahaha...now they are after me. I know too much.”

Chang Mo sighed in resignation. He had first heard the rumors from graduated seniors when he first arrived at school. Before there was restriction of going out at night, he would often patrol around the school searching for the mysteries. It was only this year, just as there were signs of demonic beast appearing that the rumors told by the seniors came true. As Chang Mo ranted on, Xin Fan received a system message.
