Chapter 391 I’ve Been Waiting for You for a Long Time
"Did someone have a fight?"
Xiao Zheyi and I looked at each other and ran out of the woods together.
On the empty playground, there was a thin man, arguing loudly with Cao Zixiu.
Xiao Zheyi and I ran over quickly.
"Don't think that I am afraid of you now that you are like this. I will keep those things in my heart! You can't run away!"
"No one will believe you." Cao Zixiu said coldly.
The thin man was dressed in street clothes, with an unkempt beard and rough, dark skin. He was obviously young, but his eyes were full of vicissitudes of life, and he looked like he had lived a very bad life.
His eyes were red and he smelled of alcohol. He pointed at Cao Zixiu's nose and cursed.
"You scumbag, trash! What kind of thing are you, you don't know in your heart? Just wait, I will tear off your mask!"
Cao Zi straightened his clothes and stopped talking to the thin man. It seemed that quarreling with him was a loss of his identity.
"Are you Guiyun?" Xiao Zheyi looked at the thin man.
"Are you Xiaoyi?" The thin man also looked at her, his red eyes bursting with surprise.
"It's me." Xiao Zheyi nodded.
"I haven't seen you in so many years, you, you are even more beautiful! I can hardly recognize you." Guiyun smiled attentively, showing his yellow teeth.
Cao Zixiu suddenly showed a disgusted expression.
"No, you have changed a lot." Xiao Zheyi smiled politely.
"How can I compare with you? You are all successful people, and I am just a bricklayer. There is no tomorrow until today." Guiyun patted the dust on his clothes sadly.
"Don't say that. You rely on your own hands to make a living and behave upright. You are countless times better than those people who have evil intentions in their hearts!"
Xiao Zheyi has something to say.
"That's right, haha!" Guiyun nodded, looked at Cao Zixiu meaningfully, and felt proud.
Cao Zixiu moved his mouth, but when he saw Xiao Zheyi's cold face, he sighed and said nothing.
"Hey, who is he? Is he also our classmate?" Guiyun pointed at me and asked doubtfully.
"His name is Li Xiaofeng. He studied here, but he is not in our class. This is not important. Guiyun, I have something to ask you."
Xiao Zheyi winked at Guiyun.
Then the three of us walked away from Cao Zixiu and walked to the other side of the playground.
"Xiaoyi, what's so mysterious?"
Xiao Zheyi looked serious and lowered his voice and asked: "Guiyun, tell me the truth. Did you secretly put that letter?"
"Letter?" Guiyun was surprised, his red eyes widened, "Did you also receive the letter?"
Xiao Zheyi was stunned and looked at me.
Guiyun's reaction showed that he was not the one who put the letter.
"Yes, it's really not you?" Xiao Zheyi frowned.
"No, I'm also wondering, who would do such a thing!" Guiyun took out a folded envelope from his pocket.
"When I got up three days ago, I saw a letter in the window with the names of the seven of us written in it. It also said that the game was not over."
Xiao Zheyi took the envelope, opened it, and took out a piece of white paper.
A4 size, the words above are printed.
There is no way to identify the handwriting.
The content was exactly the same as what Xiao Zheyi had described to me before. There was no title or signature.
The names of seven people, plus that paragraph.
"I know what you have done. The game is not over yet, how can you let it go?"
"In three days, see you at the same place."
Xiao Zheyi was a little confused: "If it wasn't you, who would it be?"
"I want to know too." Guiyun thought for a while, pointed in the direction of Cao Zixiu, and said with a gloomy expression: "Could it be that person?"
"Ah?" Xiao Zheyi was even more confused.
This is completely opposite to the direction of her reasoning.
I asked Guiyun: "Why do you think it's him?"
Guiyun glanced at me and said mysteriously: "He made a classmate fall down the stairs and became a fool. Maybe he was afraid that we would tell this matter, so he used this method to get all of us." Come here so that you can silence me."
"Did you see him pushing Miao Xiaohui downstairs?" I asked, staring at him.
"That's not true." Guiyun shook his head.
Xiao Zheyi asked anxiously: "Although I left first that day, didn't you stay and continue to play with them? What happened next?"
This is exactly what I want to know.
Both pairs of eyes looked at Gui Yun. Gui Yun swallowed his saliva and said, "Cao Zixiu said he invented a new game and wanted us to play it together. The rules of the game are that everyone is blindfolded and counts from one to the next. How many steps are there in total from the building to the third floor?"
"Counting the stairs?" I was surprised.
I have heard of similar games like this, which usually happen on campus. At a certain moment, there will be one more staircase than usual on a certain staircase.
"Yes, he said that if he could find a magic staircase, incredible things would happen."
"Then what?"
"We didn't dare to violate his wishes. We all covered ourselves with black cloths and groped our way up to the third floor."
"However, I didn't find many stairs. After I got to the third floor, before I even took off the black cloth, I heard a loud thud."
"I don't know what's going on. I don't dare to take off the black cloth without Cao Zixiu's order."
"After a while, I heard them shouting that Miao Xiaohui was dead, and then everyone ran away. Then I took off the black cloth and looked downstairs."
Guiyun shook his head.
"That look was so scary. I was scared and ran away. When the teacher asked me about it later, he didn't say anything because he was scared."
I frowned: "So, you also saw Miao Xiaohui falling from the building with your own eyes?"
"No, but it must have been done by Cao Zixiu! He was afraid that we would tell the truth, so he wanted to silence us!" Guiyun gritted his teeth and spat out alcohol-smelling saliva.
"No." I shook my head, "You have no evidence at all to prove that he killed someone. His silence is completely unnecessary. I don't think he is that stupid."
"Then I can't think of anyone else who would do such a thing on horseback!" Guiyun scratched his head.
"If you want to find this person, you must first figure out his purpose tonight." I narrowed my eyes and put my hand on the handle of the black umbrella.
"Zi——"
At this moment, in the empty and quiet school, a sharp noise of electric current suddenly sounded.
Immediately afterwards, an outdated children's song played.
"The blue sky, white clouds, and a little white boat"
The changed children's song echoed throughout the abandoned school, sounding particularly scary.
Everyone looked up to find the source of the sound, and finally their eyes rested on the loudspeaker outside the office building.
"Classmates, I have been waiting for you for a long time, and you are finally here."
The sound of the children's song became lower, and a man's voice came from the speaker.
