Chu Jing walked out of the teacher's office, thinking about Xu Yu, and bumped into someone just as she turned the corner.

"Xiao Jing, what's wrong with you?" It turned out to be Xu Yu.

Xu Yu grabbed Chu Jing's hand, and seeing Chu Jing's absent-minded look, he took her aside and asked with concern:

"What happened? Did the teacher say anything to you?"

Chu Jing looked at Xu Yu in front of him. The sunlight passed through the shade of the trees and fell on him in patches.

His hands were still slightly cool, and his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of misty gauze, so beautiful that he didn't seem like a real person.

Chu Jing held Xu Yu's hand with some force.

She thought for a moment and then told him what she had heard in the office about Xu Yu fifteen years ago. "I just heard Teacher Guo in the office say that fifteen years ago, there was a student named Xu Yu who won first prize in an international mathematics competition. He was a student with a promising future."

Xu Yu laughed and said, "Are you sure you're not talking about me?"

Chu Jing's heart skipped a beat at first, but then she quickly realized that Xu Yu thought she was joking.

"I thought I had misheard when I heard it, but I asked Teacher Guo, and he said that fifteen years ago there was indeed someone with the same name as you."

Xu Yu also seemed to find it incredible. He half-jokingly said, "It seems that people with this name have a natural talent for learning."

After saying that, Xu Yu seemed to remember something and jokingly asked, "Xiao Jing, do you think that Xu Yu from fifteen years ago and I are the same person?"

Chu Jing did have such a suspicion, but when Xu Yu said it directly, it seemed as if her suspicion was ridiculous.

Xu Yu said with some emotion, "Fifteen years ago, if you calculate the time, I should be a middle-aged man."

Chu Jing saw that Xu Yu seemed to have no idea about what happened to Xu Yu fifteen years ago, and he didn't know that Xu Yu was dead.

She let go of her doubts a little.

But she forgot. How could a normal person think that she was doubting that she was the person she was fifteen years ago?

On the way home, Chu Jing couldn't help thinking about it again.

She still felt uneasy, so she took out the amulet she had always carried with her and looked at it, feeling a little comforted.

She asked the system again, hoping it would say something, "This Xu Yu is not the same person as the Xu Yu from fifteen years ago, right?"

09: "...No way." This Xu Yu is not a human being at all.

09 changed the question: "What are you going to do? Now that you suspect Xu Yu is not a human being, have you decided to get rid of him to complete the mission?"

Chu Jing did not give a definitive answer. She said, "Fifteen years ago, Xu Yu died from bullying and violence."

09: OK, I understand.

That night, Chu Jing had another nightmare.

In the dream, Xu Yu, who was smiling gently in the sun just a moment ago, suddenly became gloomy. Blood flowed from his forehead, like a blood-red mask covering his entire face, revealing only a pair of black eyes and a blood-red mouth.

He seemed unaware of anything and even stretched out his hand towards Chu Jing, "Xiao Jing, come here?"

Chu Jing took a few steps back in fear, and Xu Yu quickly lost his patience.

The blood flowed from his shoulders, staining the school uniform red inch by inch.

He stood there, his dark eyes filled with anger, and he gradually became crazy, "Xiao Jing, didn't you promise me that you would be with me forever?"

"Come here! Let us be together forever and never separate again."

Xu Yu's blood-red mouth was full of jagged teeth, as if he wanted to tear Chu Jing apart and eat her.

"Why don't you come over!"

Chu Jing turned and ran away.

Xu Yu yelled, "Are you going to regret this?!"

"I'm going to eat you! Hehehe, this way we can be together forever. Only if you become like me, we'll never be apart!!!"

Blood had already flowed all over the ground and was spreading towards Chu Jing's feet at a rapid speed. Something was surging under the red blood, and something cold was climbing up her ankle.

A dense, stabbing pain came, as if something was tearing at her flesh.

"No! Don't!" Chu Jing screamed in horror and woke up from his dream.

The bedside lamp that was still on emitted a warm yellow light, which gave Chu Jing some comfort.

She took out the amulet from under her pillow.

The amulet is intact.

Just a nightmare.

"Jiu'er!"

09's voice soon rang out: "I'm here."

Chu Jing didn't have anything to say, he just called it to feel safe.

After a long time, Chu Jing was still frightened by the scene in her dream. She said, "I am very scared."

09: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Chu Jing: "You said last time that you wouldn't help me."

09 was silent for a moment, then said, "If it's within my power."

Chu Jing held the amulet in her hand, her palms full of sweat. Fortunately, she had sealed it with plastic before.

Half asleep and half awake, Chu Jing unconsciously murmured, "Jiu'er..."

09 looked at Chu Jing's slowly closing eyes and replied in a slow voice: "I'm here."

If it had known that the world would collapse like this, it would not have let Chu Jing come here now.

A ghost actually appeared.

Any kind of changes may occur in the collapsed mission plane, which cannot be predicted before entering the plane.

But it is not worried about Chu Jing.

Chu Jing is a very resilient person and will not retreat because of fear of ghosts.

Holding the idea that this Xu Yu is not that Xu Yu, Chu Jing still gets along with Xu Yu as before.

But she was also looking for information about Xu Yu from fifteen years ago.

Because so much time has passed, not many people in the school know about this matter, and even if they do, they may not be willing to say it.

Fortunately, Chu Jing found out that the school archives might still have documents related to Xu Yu.

Chu Jing immediately used her money to successfully bribe a teacher in charge of the archives room, who agreed to let her go in to look for the document.

The teacher asked Chu Jing to find a time after school and repeatedly reminded her: "Remember, you can only read the documents in the archives room. You cannot take any paper out of the archives room!"

"The file you're looking for is too old, and it's not certain to be found. I can only give you two hours. If you can't find it this time, you'll have to look for it next time."

"The files in the archives are all sorted by year. Okay, go in and look for them."

Chu Jing entered the archives room.

The archive room is about 80 to 90 square meters. It is a long and narrow rectangle that extends from the door inward. Two-meter-high wooden shelves are densely arranged on both sides of the aisle.

Under the pale light, every shelf was piled high with brown file bags.

The air was filled with the smell of old paper and ink, and a faint scent of dampness and mold.

Chu Jing searched one by one according to the years marked on the outside of the cabinet.

There are even some documents piled up between some shelves and on the floor against the wall.

Chu Jing walked to the innermost two floors and finally found the place where the files from fifteen years ago were stored.
