Chapter Thirty-Six Process

  Although he had doubts in his heart, Ouyang Bing still wanted to let Gu Mò Níng try it out. After all, he didn't want to miss any opportunity that could provide some clues. Even if it was just a tiny thread of a clue.

  Ouyang Bing nodded and agreed with Gu Mo Ning, saying, "Mm, we can ask her."

  Gu Merning looked at Su Xiao and hesitated, because she was worried that Su Xiao would be scared.

  Others may not understand how afraid Su Xiao is of ghosts, but she knows.

  Su Xiao wasn't afraid of anything else, just ghosts. And it was the extremely fearful kind. Usually, as soon as she started telling some slightly scary stories, Su Xiao would stop her and not let her continue, because Su Xiao was scared.

  Ouyang Bing stood up and walked in front of Ji Liang, looking at Ji Liang and Su Xiao who were still arguing, shaking his head. Just like two stubborn little kids.

  Ouyang Bing teased Ji Liang: "Ah Liang, can't you just let a girl be?"

  "What? Where does she look like a girl? She's clearly a tomboy, and if you insist on saying she's a girl, at most she's just a shrew." Ji Liang didn't even glance at Ouyang Bing, continuing to mock Su Xiao by picking up where Ouyang Bing left off.

  Su Xiao directly picked up the two pillows on the bed and threw them at Ji Liang together, standing on the bed with one hand akimbo and the other hand pointing at Ji Liang, saying loudly, "It's obviously because you yourself don't have any masculinity. Whenever you see a girl, you think she's a boy. You're such a fake girl, eunuch."

  "Xiao Xiao." Gu Mo Ning walked to the bedside and softly called out to Su Xiao.

  Ji Liang originally wanted to refute Su Xiao's words, but seeing Gu Mo Ning come over and call out to Su Xiao, he didn't dare say anything. He stood aside with a cold face.

  He was called a fake girl and eunuch for the first time. This woman really deserves to be taught a lesson.

  Su Xiao heard Gu Mo Ning's voice and snorted disdainfully at Ji Liang, excitedly sitting down beside the bed.

  Gu Mò Níng also sat down, Sū Xiǎo stretched out his hand and put it around Gu Mò Níng's shoulder, lazily looking at her, cutely asking her, "Mò Níng, do you think he is very weak? Does he look like a fake girl?"

  Gu Mian couldn't help but laugh out loud, but he didn't answer Su Xiao's question.

  Gu Mian remained silent for a while, then slowly asked Su Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, what happened in the school's lab building last night?" His tone was filled with deep concern.

  "What?" Su Xiao was taken aback for a moment. She asked Gu Mengning if Qi Liang was very weak, but Mengning instead asked her what had happened last night, which seemed to be a rather distant topic.

  Su Xiao's brain was racing quickly, and the sound she heard in the lab building last night was exceptionally clear, floating in her ears. The ghostly face she saw was also clearly visible before her eyes.

  "Ah! Don't say that!" Su Xiao exclaimed excitedly, grabbing Gu Mo Ning's arm and burying her head in her shoulder, trembling with fear.

  Gu Mian Ning hugged Su Xiao tightly, gently patting her back and softly comforting her, "It's okay, it's okay, I won't mention it again, you don't think about it either, nothing happened, those were all lies, everything is fine now."

  Looking at Su Xiao's fragile appearance, Gu Mohan felt extremely guilty and heartbroken. She lifted her head to look at Ouyang Bing, gently shaking her head to indicate that she couldn't ask Su Xiao anything.

  Gu's eyes were filled with deep worry and self-blame, which made Ouyang Bing feel guilty as well.

  However, Ji Liang did not know that the experimental building was haunted. Seeing Su Xiao's frightened appearance, he was worried but also more curious about what had happened last night to make Su Xiao so scared, and Gu Mengning still didn't know.

  Ji Liang suddenly remembered that when Su Xiao had a nightmare before, what was it that made her, who was usually so carefree and bold, become so scared that she even had nightmares in the middle of the night?

  Ji Liang finally couldn't bear his intense curiosity, and asked Su Xiao, "Hey, what could scare you like this? Even a ghost would probably be scared away by such a fierce woman like you."

  It was originally intended to be a simple inquiry of concern for Su Xiao, but as soon as Ji Liang spoke up, it turned into teasing. And it really hit the nail on the head, Su Xiao had indeed seen a ghost.

  This time Su Xiao admitted defeat and stopped arguing with Ji Liang, still continuing to bury her head in Gu Mo Ning's shoulder, because she was really very afraid of ghosts.

  Gu Mian furrowed her brow and stared at Ji Liang, her eyes full of blame. This ghost thing was really Xiao's Achilles' heel.

  Ouyang Bing also felt that Ji Liang's question was a bit excessive and angrily shouted, "A Liang."

  Ji Liang looked at Ouyang Bing, puzzled. What had happened last night that was so serious that these people wouldn't let him mention it?

  Ouyang Bing patted Ji Liang's shoulder, indicating that he should go out with him. Ji Liang followed Ouyang Bing and walked to the door together.

  Ouyang Bing told Ji Liang about Su Xiao seeing the fake ghost, and also told him about the broken camera in the lab building, as well as his and Shen Rui's speculations.

  Ji Liang only felt his blood boiling up, that group of women was too much, he should have killed them directly if he had known earlier.

  Ji Liang's face was filled with anger, his fists clenched and crackling with rage. Ouyang Bing glanced at Ji Liang but said nothing. The two of them walked side by side in the corridor, each lost in their own thoughts.

  Su Xiao buried her head in Gu Mo Ning's shoulder, calming down for a while before deciding to tell him about what happened last night.

  That's right, she is afraid of ghosts, very very afraid. Even if she knows it's fake, she's still scared.

  But since she really saw a ghost last night, it means that someone deliberately wanted to scare them. Fortunately, Gu Mo Ning fainted at that time, otherwise the two of them might have been scared too.

  So she wanted to tell Gu Mo Ning how despicable those ghosts were.

  Su Xiao raised her head and looked at Gu Mo Ning with a serious expression, her eyes still holding back tears of fear.

  Su Xiao was still anxiously grasping Gu Mo Ning's shoulder, her voice trembling but firm as she said to Gu Mo Ning, "Mo Ning, I saw a ghost last night."

  Gu Mian looked at Su Xiao in shock, never expecting that Su Xiao would actually tell her.

  Gu Muren remained silent, silently patting Su Xiao's back in comfort, continuing to listen to Su Xiao's words.

  Su Xiao took a deep breath and continued, "You know, even if I knew that thing was fake, I'm still very scared. So last night, at that time, I had already lost my ability to think, all I knew was that it was terrifying and I was very afraid."

  "But now that I think about it carefully, it's actually someone who deliberately wants to scare us."

  "It just so happened that the lab building didn't have any lights last night. I had a bad feeling when I brought you into the lab, because the lab used to be haunted."

  Su Xiao paused for a moment, she needed to calm down before saying what was going to happen next.

  "Then I wanted to take you and hurry up, but there were continuous sounds coming from inside the lab building, kind of like something heavy had fallen. Then suddenly a voice sounded behind me."

  "I turned around to look, but there was nothing. Then a cool breeze blew by again, I turned around and saw someone floating past."

  Su Xiao's voice was trembling with a hint of tears as she continued, "You know, it really did float away."

  Gu Muren tightly hugged Su Xiao, silently sighing in her heart. She was heartbroken to see Su Xiao scared like this. She must find those girls and make them apologize to Su Xiao.

  Su Xiao started to get excited, her voice slightly raised as she continued, "You know, later on I was so scared that I couldn't take it anymore, and I squatted down on the ground, burying my head in my knees. Then not long after, I heard your voice, and I lifted my head a little to take a look at you, only to see a ghost with a face full of blood."
