"Master, there must be a misunderstanding here."
"If you said Old Third had some small quirks, like hiding some little toys, we'd absolutely believe it. But a perverted hobby like turning human corpses into bone dominoes? That's absolutely impossible. He's not that kind of person."
Facing Yaoyao's explanation, before the person involved could even speak, the others in the dorm began to clamor in defense. Li Xin's expression was strange. Although these people were clearly speaking up for him, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. However, he didn't dwell on it. What was important now was to clearly explain the bone domino in his pocket.
"Master, I really haven't seen this thing before!" He hadn't worn this trench coat this year. If it were hidden, it would have been last year's doing, which wouldn't match the timing of encountering the ghost. After all, he had never heard of ghosts seeking revenge a year later. So, Li Xin was still somewhat calm; he had evidence to support his claim.
Yaoyao nodded upon hearing this and said, "Big Brother, don't be nervous. I know you didn't kill him." If he were truly a murderer, she wouldn't have brought him back to school, but directly to the police station.
"Then... Master, can you tell me where it came from?" Seeing that the Master believed him, Li Xin breathed a long sigh of relief. Then, he pointed at the bone domino and asked. The origin of this thing was too chilling. Suddenly finding it in his clothes would make anyone's mentality collapse.
"This answer, Big Brother, you can personally ask the person who hid the bone domino." Yaoyao looked at him with a strange expression, then, without saying much, walked directly outside. Her meaning was clear: she had found the culprit who hid the bone domino.
Li Xin was startled. After realizing, he followed without hesitation, with his curious dormmates trailing behind him. The five or six of them, all tall and strong, made the school hallway, which was already narrow, feel even more cramped when they walked together. For a moment, the scene had a feeling of a brawl, drawing frequent glances from students in the hallway.
The group didn't pay any mind to those gazes. At this moment, they all held their breath, wanting to see which utterly shameless scoundrel had used such a despicable method to harm someone.
A few minutes later. Yaoyao stopped at the innermost room on the second floor. "The person who hid the bone domino is inside." She turned to the six big brothers behind her and said clearly. The few people behind her exchanged glances, seemingly deciding who would step forward.
At this moment, the hot-tempered "Seaweed Head," the young man who had opened the door for Yaoyao, was the first to lose his composure. "Alright, alright, let this old man see which son of a bitch is making trouble." With the Master present, he wasn't afraid of whether it was a human or a ghost inside. He stood straighter than anyone. He took two steps at once, twisted the doorknob, and pushed it inward. The school doors were old-fashioned internal locks. The room wasn't locked from the inside, so it opened with a push.
The loud commotion startled the people inside the dorm. A fierce look flashed in his eyes as he frowned and looked over. He happened to meet a pair of unexpected faces. He was first startled, then seeing the "mighty" helpers behind the latter, a trace of panic flashed imperceptibly across his face. However, he quickly calmed down again.
He reprimanded in a deep voice, "What do you want to do? So many of you, are you trying to start a fight?"
"Don't say I didn't warn you. If the counselor finds out, you'll definitely receive a major punishment." He wasn't bluffing; the school's rules were indeed strict. If a fight broke out, the lightest punishment would be suspension. Therefore, he wasn't afraid of these people making a move in the dorm. And if they couldn't make a move, what good was having so many people? The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed, and his confidence immediately grew.
"You pretty boy, who are you talking to here?" The instant-noodle-haired youth was easily provoked. Hearing the threat, his temper also flared. Fortunately, someone by his side pulled him back, or he would have charged out. The one who pulled him was Li Xin. He wasn't timid or afraid of trouble; he just didn't want his dormmates to get into trouble. He knew the shamelessness and baseness of the person in front of him better than anyone.
"Shi Yue, so it was you causing trouble!"
"I was still wondering who in school would go to such lengths to harm me." Li Xin stared fixedly at the person. He had typical sanpaku eyes. When his eyes were expressionless, his gaze was as cold as ice, not to mention that at this moment, his brows were furrowed with anger, giving him an inexplicably predatory fierceness.
"I don't understand what you're saying!" Shi Yue's heart thumped when he heard the question. He tried hard to maintain his composure, but ultimately, he had a guilty conscience, and his face still revealed his fear.
"Big Brother, it's no use arguing. You should recognize this thing, shouldn't you?" Yaoyao extended her small hand at this moment, revealing the pale bone domino in her palm. Her beautiful large eyes watched him unblinkingly.
The latter followed her gaze and immediately saw the bone domino, which he knew all too well. His pupils couldn't help but contract. It was actually found. Why was this happening? He was so close to succeeding! He hadn't even seen the other person in class today. If they were fine, why wouldn't they come? So, he had even bought celebratory red wine. Now he was being told his sweet dream was shattered? How could he accept this!
"Where did this little child come from? You found a piece of bone from somewhere, and I'm supposed to recognize it? How ridiculous." He was very clever. He immediately understood that the most important thing now was to deny everything, because once this thing was identified, it would be found to contain human bone components. At that time, he would have to explain the origin of the item at the police station. And besides himself, only the Mystic Master who helped him refine the bone domino knew its origin. Who could find out if he didn't speak? Moreover, he had worn seamless gloves throughout the process of placing it. They wouldn't find any evidence. On the contrary, he saw that the child in front of him was holding it without any caution. His lips couldn't help but curl up. Because at this moment, the bone domino must be covered with the other party's fingerprints. If the other party really dared to involve the police, it would be hard to say who the police would arrest first.
Thinking of this, Shi Yue's gaze grew even more arrogant. His way of doing things was indeed meticulous. If he had encountered Li Xin himself today, he might have suffered a great loss. But he happened to encounter Yaoyao, which meant some sins were destined not to be escaped.
"Big Brother, since you're so uncooperative, then don't blame me!" Yaoyao looked at the person in front of her with disgust. His cheekbones were high, and his nose was bony and fleshy, lacking flesh. This was a selfish, unscrupulous, vengeful personality. It was impossible to expect such a person to confess by a change of heart.
Yaoyao took out a "Truth Serum Talisman" from her bag and, before the latter could react, slapped it onto his back. Then, a faint dimple appeared at the corner of her lips, and her voice was filled with delight.
"Now it's good. This truth, you have to say it even if you don't want to!"
