Chapter 28 (1/2)

“Hey, hey, did you hear? Lily from the Finance Department died in the library last night.”

“Lily? Lily the nerd? Really? Was it a sudden death?”

“Both the school and the police said it was a sudden death, but some people said it was just an illusion.”

“What do you mean?”

“Have you ever seen someone die barefoot?”

Hiss…

That day, similar discussions could be heard everywhere on campus.

It was indeed rare to see someone die in the library.

However, if this person was a very hardworking person, it would be a different story.

Many people would naturally think that she had died suddenly because she worked too hard.

However, many so-called insiders spoke about her death with confidence.

It was because Lily was found not wearing any shoes. Her shoes were found a few meters away.

Obviously, Lily must have experienced something before she died.

As for what she experienced exactly, no one knew.

In the eyes of many people, this was just an urban legend. They did not care much for the things they would naturally forget soon after talking about it.

However, it was different for one person.

…

Mika was a supernatural fan.

Hearing the discussions of the people around her, she immediately ran to the library.

Passing through the crowd, Mika quietly popped her head out to get a look at the scene.

She saw a corpse lying in the police cordon. It was Lily, Lily who had not gone back the night before.

Lily had an extremely frightened expression on her face, and there were obvious impression marks on her face.

Her feet were indeed bare, as the discussions had said, and she was not wearing any shoes.

Her shoes, however, were a few meters away.

They were not folded neatly.

They looked like they had fallen to the ground very casually.

It seemed as if they had been tossed away.

Mika narrowed her eyes and continued to look at Lily’s corpse.

There were no wounds on her body and there were no signs of her clothes being torn.

There was not even a single wrinkle.

This was somewhat unbelievable.

According to Mika’s judgment, the corpse would have certain conditions, such as shoes and expressions. It was as if something had happened that caused her to be nervous.

It looked as if she had lost her shoes in a panic.

But there were no wounds on Lily’s body, which meant that no one had done any harm to her.

There were no wrinkles on her clothes, which meant that she had not been violated by anyone.

However, there was an extremely frightened look on Lily’s face.

Mika quietly left the crowd.

She smoothed her brown hair and stroked her chin with an excited expression.

There was definitely something fishy about this.

Indeed, Mika did not care about the death of her roommate Lily.

What she was more interested in was finding out what had happened to Lily, or rather, the deceased.

To her, this was more important than the death of her roommate.

“There really are ghosts in this world!” Mika muttered to herself in a slightly excited tone before running back to her dorm.

…

[Why aren’t you in class yet? Today’s the Mediterranean roll call.]

Ignoring the text message from her roommate, Mika was still flipping through the book in her hand.

Of course, this was not a book related to learning, but a supernatural novel.
