Chapter 135: Paintings


    Zuo Jun, can you find me some clothes as well? Qian Junran followed Zuo Jun in his trunks. He looked so pitiful.


    Shut up! Zuo Jun said darkly. He wore the uniform of the centres captain over his trunks. Do you know that you almost caused my death?


    How? Qian Junran held his chest. Isnt the infirmary the ce to save people? Is it that scary?


    You might still know how you die if you go to other ces. At the infirmary, you cant even die if you want to! Theres a very special Big Ghost hidden there! Zuo Jun said severely. He didnt bring Qian Junran to the infirmary. He went to the office building controlled by Situ An and hid by the window on the third floor.


    What is a big ghost?


    Its something you dont ever want to meet. This ce has attracted many big ghosts. You better be obedient! Zuo Jun nced at Qian Junran coldly, Dont talk after we return! Dont do anything you shouldnt. Follow the investigation centres instructions!


    Then, are we going back to the activity building now? Qian Junran shivered from the cold due to hisck of clothing.


    We need to finish the swim ss. Dont have any conflicts with the PE Teacher. In the afternoon, our people will take over the sses. Zuo Jun thought back to the time table. There cant be any idents during the sses in the afternoon.


    But Qian Junran saw the situation inside the activity building through the window.


    No but! Zuo Jun wanted to kill Qian Junran. However, he was part of ss 13, and ss 13 was very special.


    But look! Qian Junran pointed dumbly out the window. The activity building appears to be flooded!


    What? Zuo Jun shoved Qian Junran out of the way. He cursed and ran towards the activity building. Qian Junran screamed and ran in his trunks.


    ss 13 gathered outside the activity building. They saw the messages they sent. Some of them identally exposed their messages. Others hid their phones. The message became their biggest secret.


    Back then, the people who messaged the 51st students toe back were the killers. Many people made that choice, but it didnt mean they would admit to it before the public.


    The appearance of the messages proves one thing. I should have been on the bus ten years ago. I should have died in that cycle ten years ago, but I somehow entered the second cycle. Gao Mings thoughts probably couldnt be understood by his ssmates.


    I am the first cycle. Ill return to the tunnel after I die. The bus from ten years ago might be the second cycle. Then, what was the condition for triggering the second cycle? If the cycle started once someone died, then the second cycle should have started earlier. Or would the cycle only start when the 51st student was alive? That night, there were 50 students on the bus and 1 student not on the bus. One side had to die as the sacrifice. If both parties survived, they would be discovered by fate, and the cycle would reinitiate.


    It feels like someone nned this ten years ago. They used the cycle to hide another cycle.


    Gao Ming hade up with the quadruple cycle theory a while ago. Theyers ovepped each other. It was how the culprit managed to trick fate and how an anomaly like Gao Ming appeared.


    It was a crazy thought. Gao Ming held his heart that was filled with death memories. He had no idea what kind of ending would befit this kind of endless despair.


    Dont just stand there! Zuo Jun came back with Qian Junran. They found their clothes and phones. Zuo Jun put his phone into his pocket. Hemunicated with the teachers in the centre uniform. Qian Junran only focused on putting on his clothes. After being tricked by a few ssmates, he clicked open his message before everyone.


    Everyone looked over. A long message appeared on Qian Junrans hone, It might not be good for you toe But if you donte, its all over for me. I still have my family You shoulde. Everyone misses you.


    Qian Junran was like this when he was in school. He was a fence-sitter. It was clear that he was the one who sent the message, but he had no impression of it.


    Weve confirmed one killer. Du Bai grumbled as he walked past Qian Junran.


    What killer? Qian Junran put on his clothes and finally grasped the situation. He sneezed. He wanted to know more, but his ssmates moved away from him.


    The ss in the morning ended like that. During lunch, the happiness from the day before disappeared. Most fo the students didnt sit together.


    The messages split us up even more. The people from Room 1314 still sat together. Wang Jie ced his phone on the table openly. Actually, theres nothing to hide. You know my personality. If sacrificing one person can save everyone else, Ill definitely choose to sacrifice him.


    Wang Jie clicked on his message. He didnt hide anything. The content was also very direct. He hoped the 51st student toe over.


    People like you are in the minority. Before Xi San finished speaking, Du Bai showed his message too. He also chose to lie to the 51st student.


    What about you two? Du Bai sat with Wang Jie and looked at Xi San and Gao Ming across from them. From the ending, most of the students chose to have him sacrifice himself.


    I Xi San shook his head and focused on the food. Gao Ming didnt say anything.


    Lunch soon ended. The first ss in the afternoon wasnguage. The teacher in the centre uniform exined the various zones. He listed the activity building and theb building as taboo zones. The ss was boring, but the students wished the ss would never end. At least they didnt need to face different ghosts in ss. As the bell rang, the students hearts rose again.


    The next ss was art. The ss was in ssroom 2103 in theb building. The investigation centre teacher just said that Room 2104, the art ssroom, was one of the taboo zones. Their ss would be next to it.


    We cant avoid this. We might as well go early and give the art teacher a good impression. Xi San had given up on his struggle. He led the way to leave the math building and go to theb building.


    The two buildings were in the same schoolpound, but they gave offpletely different feelings. Math building felt like it was enveloped by a fake sun. Theb building felt like it had sunken underground. Even the walls reeked of chill.


    Pushing open the door to Room 2103, the room was filled with easels. The easels had white canvases on them. The students entered the room. When the bell rang, the room door closed on its own.


    The cloth over the ckboard fell. Five difiting paintings were pasted on it.


    Of the five paintings, one of them is painted by a killer. The other four are painted by the victims. You have thirty minutes to find the painting by the killer and mimic it on your canvas.


    A womans voice came from the taboo room, the art ss 2104 next door.
