Chapter 76: Photos and Diary

Translator: LiamHW

Xia Mingyu also naturally thought of this, although he has not been able to get rid of the emotions from Chen Yutian’s death, but he knew that what Mu Feng suffered now was more important, he could not be the one who messed up everything, and prevent saving people. Chen Yutian’s affairs have made him maturer now, and he exactly knew what he should do next.

“Yun, let’s go save master and the others.” Xia Mingyu wiped the tears out, and the pair of amber cat pupils glowed, but just after his finished his words, his phone rang at the same time, the two people glanced at each other, Xia Mingyu took out the phone and looked at it, it was a number not in his contact list.

Put on speaker: “Hello? Xiaoyu.”

The familiar voice came out from the phone, Xia Mingyu was stunned for a while, and suddenly he recognized that the phone was belonged to Zhao Ziyi, that explained why he knew this number, he was surprised and replied, “Mmm, hey, brother, any news?”

Zhao Yun’s eyebrows suddenly tightened and he didn’t expect that the person who made a call to Xia Mingyu was his older brother, wasn’t that the one with a good look at the last time? Why was his purpose to call Xiaoyu at this moment? Wait, when did Xiaoyu own a new phone?

“Well, it’s very late. Aren’t you going back to your dorm?” As Zhao Ziyi spoke, he seemed to recall something, and said, “Oh, by the way, there seems to be a diary on your desk. Is it yours? How can you place this at random?”

What? Diaries? He didn’t even have the habit of keeping a diary, was it… “That is none of my business. I am not that kind of baby boy who write down his daily life on the paper. That is so troublesome. ”

The evil soul immediately retorted, Xia Mingyu thought about it, he figured out that it might be someone who accidentally leave it there, so he replied, “Bro, it may not be mine. But can you open it and check the name out?”

“Ah? Alright, Wait a minute. Uh, the shell of it is locked and it can’t be opened. Otherwise, you can come over and see for yourself. Where are you right now?”

Was that a locked one? Then He couldn’t open it without a key. Wait, the rest of the dormitory were in trouble with him. They would never place their personal objects like a diary on his desk. So the diary appeared on his desk without any signs would not be theirs. Whose else? Oh, it might be Chen Yutian’s!

Xia Mingyu immediately sat up, he was trembling on his hand which was holding the phone, and he said with some joy, “Alright, brother, don’t let anyone touch my diary. I’ll come back soon.”

“OK, good.” “Doodo…”

Xia Mingyu hung up the phone, turned to look at Zhao Yun and spoke out what he thought, “Yun, I’m going back to my dorm and pack up my things. Mmm, are you coming with me?”

“Okay, let’s go.” The mystery on this diary arose Zhao Yun’s attention after he hearing the whole conversation between Xia Mingyu and Zhao Ziyi , especially after seeing the boy’s expression full of joy and excite, he agreed without a second thought.

it was only 10 a.m. in the morning before his coma when they were going out of school., that meant Xia Mingyu had passed out for about eight or nine hours without consciousness. The boy looked at the sky which was darkening at the moment, he was pressing his sadness in his heart, Zhao Yun knew that the boy was uncomfortable and caressed his head to comfort him.

Xia Mingyu smiled back to him. As for the boy, The white dress on Zhao Yun were like a bunch of lights, which was enough to dispel all the smog in his heart and illuminate all darkness on his way. What would he do without Zhao Yun?

The thoughts of him were only fleeting, because they arrived at the school in a very short time, and then they walked into the dormitory, and at the moment when they entered the room, Xia Mingyu hit Hu Hai all of sudden, he apologized to him with his head lowered down, Hu Hai glared at the boy and smiled, saying, “What’s wrong with you? Why are you becoming so polite?”

“Nothing.” Xia Mingyu was so focused on the diary that he didn’t talk much to Hu Hai , so he entered room, and saw Zhao Ziyi sitting before the table, Xia Mingyu glanced at the diary on the table, and hurriedly walked over.

Besides the diary, there was a white storage box on the table, which Zhao Ziyi thought that might be Mingyu’s daily supplies, so he didn’t even mention it at all, in addition, he just thought the the diary would be the most important one.

This storage box was obviously not belonged to Xia Mingyu, but the grey coat next to the storage box was. It was strange how it could be placed on the table, but that wasn’t an odd thing as for the evil soul. It was Chen Yutian who stayed with him all the time before entering the tomb. And at that time, he got his cloth wet, so he asked Chen Yutian to return to his bedroom to get any dry clothes, but the evil soul leaf for the tomb alone.

If Chen Yutian had never figured out that he was a dead spirit, then he would go back to the gym looking for him instead of going to the tomb, but obviously he didn’t do that. It seemed like after Chen Yutian taking the clothes in the dorm, he recalled something in his mind, then placed all his stuff on the table of Xia Mingyu, and then…  he went to the tomb at his will too!

But there was something making no sense, but forgot it, it would be better not to tell the other self. The evil soul kept his silence.

Xia Mingyu expressed his gratitude to Zhao Ziyi and started to packed his stuff up. When Zhao Ziyi saw him packing up everything, he got a bit confused and said, “Xiaoyu, what are you doing?”

“Ah, oh, brother, I forget to inform you that I’m moving out. I’m dropping out of school.” Xia Mingyu was slightly embarrassed, thinking that it was only several days till his decision of dropping out, he didn’t enjoy the school life at all, and if he wasn’t carrying the duty of heaven soul, he would probably be able to own an ordinary life.

Zhao Ziyi looked at Zhao Yun, who was lending a hand to Xia Mingyu, and hesitated for a while before he asked, “My dearest ancestor, why did you allow him to drop out of school?”

Zhao Yun picked up his eyebrows, but Xia Mingyu took the chance to speak, “Brother, that is at my will. It was not that peaceful for me recently. In addition, something has just happened to my master. So I want to go with Yun to get him out of trouble.”

Zhao Ziyi was slightly dissatisfied with Xia Mingyu’s intimate address to Zhao Yun, but he didn’t say anything about it because his attention was appealed by the words of Xia Mingyu: “What? Your master got some troubles? And you are going to take the risk to save him? I won’t allow you to do so, that’s gonna be risky.”

“Uh… No, don’t worry about me, Yun’s here. Besides, that’s my master who got in trouble.” Xia Mingyu didn’t mean to argue with Zhao Ziyi about wether to go or not, he just wanted to go back to check out the diary first. “Brother, I’ll be in touch with you. I’m going to go back and pack my stuff.”

Xia Mingyu held the storage box, and the diary was placed right on top of the box, and he said goodbye to Zhao Ziyi, then ran out of the room with Zhao Yun. Zhao Ziyi couldn’t even get a chance to say something to dissuade him. He knew that Xia Mingyu was stubborn and wouldn’t listen to him, he gave up and said nothing.

Xia Mingyu caught up with Zhao Yun, he noticed a coldness appeared on Yun’s countenance, which he didn’t know what got him so mad, so he did not ask or even speak, just followed up by his side. Zhao Yun shook his head helplessly, he quitted the original plan that sent the boy to Sun Yaxin, for current situation, he believed he’d better take him aside.

It was also a fortune that Zhao Yun changed his mind, otherwise if he really sent him to Sun Yaxin, which they even figured out the true identity of the man, that would somehow be a trouble.

Xia Mingyu could not wait to open the storage box as soon as he arrived the villa, only to find a bundle of old newspapers, and some unknown files. Xia Mingyu expand the newspapers curiously. The first newspaper was the version of 13 years ago named Luoyang Morning, and the yellow paper was printed with a string of highlighting words: “The Ancient Tomb is Dug up in the No.1 high School, the Life of the Fitment Workers Still Remains a Mystery

.”

The title alone was appealing enough, and then the deep hole dug out by the school renovation was released in the paper, however, there was no picture showing what was in the hole. But it made sense either, because no one would dare to shoot a photo of that. And even if they were lucky to shoot one, the press would never dare to publish it, plus the government would not allow it happen, in case of causing a social panic.

Xia Mingyu read the news at a quick speed. It was only the event of the ancient tomb and the other details could be ignored, but as long as he took the newspaper away and saw the files on the other side, he felt a bit stunned.

The files were from the archives of school, all the files were packed in a top secret file bag, Xia Mingyu ripped it out and took it off to see, and he found that it was the death list of the people involved in the incident 13 years ago!

Flipping One after another, Xia Mingyu shook his hand and almost drop the file as long as he picked up the last sheet, it WAS Chen Yutian in the picture, the same figure he’s been getting alone with and haunted in his mind these days, Xia Mingyu scratched the paper with his hands tightening.

Name: Chen Yutian

Gender: male

Status: Death

Cause of death: Melatrophy of two legs, paraplegia of high limbs, evil spirit possession, Master Sha He’s method is unsolvable, buried alive into the bottom of the lotus pool as the array eye, the array works.

Buried alive? Xia Mingyu concevied a lot of senarios how his pal was killed and became the array eye, but he never ever thought of that he was buried alive. At that time, Chen Yutian had both legs amputated and couldn’t escape. How cruel it was to bury a teenager alive, it was way too pitiful for Chen Yutian, the one with dissipated soul and turned into smoke at the very end.

Compared to the way these people did, what the Zhao family did to him was much more humanized, wasn’t it an evil murder to bury someone alive?

Zhao Yun also frowned a bit and took out other files from the box to read. These were talking about the a series of supernatural events that gradually appeared in this ghost haunted school. Obviously, it seemed that even if Chen Yutian had become an array eye, he could not completely suppress the corpse spirits. Form then on, people died one after another in this school.

Xia Mingyu saw Zhao Yun absorbing himself in the files , he also turned up the storage box, and then found a stack of photos at the bottom, he curiously took it up and looked at it. It seemed like a stack of group shots from every session, the first picture was shot in the year of 2006, that was to say, this was taken 13 years ago. Although the photos were vague and yellowing, but it still allowed people to recognize the faces of the figures, Xia Mingyu immediately found Chen Yutian standing in the crowd, the familiar smile showed in the pictures, it was quite warming for Xia Mingyu.

Xia Mingyu didn’t know any of the students in the pictures, but he saw Chen Yutian in the same position again, however, at this time, the same smile as the first picture was becoming weirder for Xia Mingyu. What was happening? In the following year of 2007, wasn’t Chen Yutian dead? And he was indeed buried alive at the bottom of the Lotus Pond.

He thought he had just misjudged the figure, so he decided to check out the third one, subconsciously he looked at the same place where Chen Yutian stood in the last photos, at the time he looked at it, Xia Mingyu’s face instantly got whitened, Chen Yutian kept showing up at the same place in the picture, Xia Mingyu held back his fear and looked one by one, and finally found that the figure of Chen Yutian was existing in the same position on this stack of photos!

Chen Yutian, who had already died, kept showing up in the pictures. Xia Mingyu’s mind turned into blank and was quite confused. At the moment, Zhao Yun also found something valuable, he saw Xia Mingyu was stunned speechlessly standing there, and took over the pictures from his hands. After checking out the photos, he said, “There have been deaths in every class.”

Xia Mingyu got back his attention and looked at Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun handed him the student information in his hand, and the boy turned over to find that it was true. The class where Chen Yutian appeared was 46 people, and the student information recorded the dead, that was to say, it was because Chen Yutian’s participation that kept causing the deaths.
