Chapter 1: The Shameful Peeping Tom

  A crazy alumni reunion became the beginning of death. All classmates who participated in the reunion died one by one under strange circumstances.

  I brought her head back to the dormitory, used a knife to scrape off her hair and stuffed it into the pillowcase, along with some old clothes donated to charity; then crushed her skull and scattered the ashes.

  To survive, I wanted to escape this city full of death, but unexpectedly I was sent to a mental hospital. Until one day, a mysterious man found me and told me that she was in his body, then died in front of me.

  She has come, can I escape death?

  This is an isolated ward in a mental hospital, with one table, one chair and one bed.

  Yes, I'm the one locked in this room. To others, I may seem like a crazy and abnormal person, but my mind is clearer than ever - I am not mentally ill.

  At this moment, I'm lying on the bed, staring at the snow-white wall and the cameras around me. My thoughts have gone back to that terrifying night half a month ago.

  Half a month ago, I was working in an advertising company. Early in the morning, my colleague and senior sister Liu Tingting found me with tears in her eyes, angrily shouting that she had been dumped by her rich second-generation boyfriend yesterday.

  Ever since I joined this advertising company, I knew she had a rich second-generation boyfriend. Every day, she would affectionately call him "darling" and "sweetheart", but unfortunately, everyone else knew that her boyfriend was two-timing her, except for her.

  Yesterday she left work early and went home, only to catch her husband cheating in bed. What's more, the mistress was actually a classmate of hers from school, and they had been secretly dating behind her back for who knows how long.

  Liu Tingting was about to scold him, but unexpectedly her boyfriend stood up and said to her, "You can go, we're breaking up."

  Liu Tingting was furious and slapped the scumbag several times, but she still wasn't satisfied. However, the scumbag didn't give her another chance and pushed her out of the door.

  Liu Tingting sobbed to me, "In two days, it's our class reunion. I originally wanted to bring him along to show off to my classmates, but now it seems that's impossible. Who knows, maybe we'll even become a laughing stock. Because I heard from other classmates that the girl is going to bring her new boyfriend to the event."

  After she finished speaking, she stared at me with a pair of big eyes, looking at me eagerly.

  I couldn't help but be startled, "What are you going to do?"

  "Lan Ge, can you be my boyfriend for a day and accompany me to the class reunion?"

  I was stunned, I had only seen such a scene in movies before, but I didn't expect it to happen to myself. I don't have much of a good impression of this Liu Tingting, and she would absolutely not be willing to marry someone like me who is just a working-class person, so the two of us will definitely not end up with some melodramatic plot twist like in TV dramas.

  In the end, I agreed to attend this grand banquet in exchange for Liu Tingting selling breakfast on my behalf for a month.

  As soon as I agreed, Liu Tingting burst into tears of joy and returned to her seat. She turned her head again and said to me, "By the way, do you know that Lin Meixin is also coming?"

  My heart skipped a beat as I looked at Liu Tingting and asked, "Who did you say was coming?"

  "Lin Meixin, isn't she that prettiest and weirdest girl in our class? You said you had a crush on her before, how come you don't remember?"

  Lin Mei Xin?

  In an instant, scenes of the past flashed through my mind. "Oh, you're talking about her? Haha, I was just teasing you!" I deliberately laughed loudly and replied calmly on the surface, but inside, I had already been deeply disturbed.

  As for Lin Meixin, I'm not just secretly in love with her - it's not an exaggeration to say that I'm crazy about her. She's a classmate of Liu Tingting's and is extremely beautiful, like a stunning poppy flower.

  From the moment I saw her, I fell in love with her, hopelessly so. Unfortunately, she already had a boyfriend. Her boyfriend's name is Lin Jie, and he's said to be quite a player.

  For four years in college, at least three of those years were spent following Lin Mei Xin and her boyfriend Lin Jie. It can be said that I was just a shameful voyeur in this matter.

  In my heart, there is still a huge secret hidden. Two years ago, on that night, what exactly did Lin Jie do to Lin Mei Xin, which made Lin Mei Xin's behavior and demeanor completely different before and after that night?

  It was a weekend evening, I saw Lin Mei Xin following Lin Jie into the boys' dormitory building, they seemed to be in a huff. Lin Mei Xin pouted with a small mouth, her face full of discontent.

  I secretly rejoice in my heart that if Lin Mei's heart ever leaves that little rascal Lin Jie, I will not hesitate to appear before her and reveal my true feelings.

  I saw Lin Mei enter Lin Jie's dormitory, and an unexpected scene suddenly occurred. I seemed to see her being pushed from behind by someone, and then she fell heavily to the ground.

  The curtains were pulled up in an instant, and until the lights went out, Lin Jie's dormitory had been emitting a faint glow.

  The more I think about it, the stranger it feels. I stared at Lin Jie's dormitory for an entire night, but didn't see Lin Mei exit from Lin Jie's dormitory.

  It's normal for a boy to take his girlfriend into the dormitory building, but it's rare to have girls stay overnight. Lin Mei won't get into trouble, will she?

  The next day, I didn't see Lin Meixin all day and was secretly frightened. Would Lin Meixin be harmed by that little rascal Lin Jie? Should I call the police?

  But Lin Jie didn't have a reason to kill Lin Meixin, did he?

  I couldn't see Lin Meixin, and my whole person was in a daze. A week later, I went to the classroom for class, and suddenly found Lin Meixin among the crowd of people attending the class. She was still her, with no change in her facial features, long hair, delicate face, and a strange fragrance emanating from her entire body.

  But in an instant, I felt that the Lin Meixin who appeared before my eyes was very strange, as if she wasn't the same person as before. Although her appearance seemed to be Lin Meixin's, but her soul was fundamentally not Lin Meixin's soul at all.

  What exactly did Lin Jie do to Lin Mei's heart, and is there some unspeakable secret inside?

  I originally wanted to figure out what Lin Jie did to Lin Mei that night, but it just so happened to be the third-year off-campus internship. By the time I got back, Lin Mei had already graduated and left school. Later on, I also graduated, and for more than a year, I didn't know what had happened between Lin Mei and Lin Jie, or where Lin Mei was.

  Time is the best medicine for healing wounds. I thought I had completely forgotten about Lin Meixin, but today Liu Tingting brought her up again.

  So she's having a class reunion this time, and I have to go no matter what. Even if it's just to take a look at the goddess in my heart back then, that would be good too.

  Over the weekend, I specially dressed myself up according to Liu Tingting's request, while she exaggeratedly styled her hair and wore a backless long dress with slender high heels, looking enchanting and alluring.

  If she were a weapon, she would definitely be able to blind her opponent with a single glance.

  I was shocked and frightened, a woman, indeed can't be trifled with?

  When I arrived at the venue, I found that all the girls who attended were dressed up and looked exceptionally beautiful, almost dazzling my eyes. While Liu Tingting was holding onto my arm, being extremely charming, calling me "darling" non-stop, for a moment there, my heart almost melted.

  Looking around the entire venue, I didn't see Lin Meixin's figure. I couldn't tell whether I was expecting her to arrive soon or hoping she wouldn't appear in this venue. Also, was she still as gentle and pure as before?

  I stood there woodenly, expressionless, and didn't move for several minutes.

  At this time, Liu Tingting pulled me and turned back to glare at me, "Meaning, why aren't you cooperating?"

  I had no choice but to put on a smiling face and greet the curious glances of those people, pretending to be Liu Ting's new lover.

  The girl who originally intended to mock Liu Tingting immediately changed her expression to one of envy, jealousy and hatred, hypocritically congratulating her, "Tingting, you're really something, just got dumped and immediately hooked a diamond-rich old man."

  Liu Tingting raised her head and said bluntly, "That's not me being dumped, it's clearly someone picking up what I didn't want." After finishing speaking, she also gave a triumphant glance at her ex-boyfriend.

  I didn't even think about whether Liu Tingting's ex-boyfriend would also be thinking the same way, that I was just picking up his used Liu Tingting.

  Fortunately, at this time, everyone had taken their seats. Just as the class monitor Lin Wei of Liu Tingting's class was about to speak, a person pushed open the door and walked in. The gloomy soul taboo.
