Chu Jing did not contact the Taoist priest immediately.

She had only met the Taoist priest once and had no idea about his character and abilities.

In addition, regarding Xu Yu, now that she has completely calmed down, she also believes that Xu Yu may not have had the intention of hurting her at that time.

After being together for so long, Chu Jing felt that Xu Yu was not an evil ghost.

She didn't want to put Xu Yu in danger because of her momentary impulse.

Maybe she needed to see Xu Yu again and have a good chat.

To be on the safe side, Chu Jing found a piece of paper and wrote a few words on it:

"If I'm in any very reasonable danger, please call this number."

Chu Jing put the Taoist's business card into a folded paper and put it in the top drawer of his desk.

The next day, Chu Jing got up early, packed up, and waited to set off, just like a soldier going to die on the battlefield.

Chu Jing was the third one to arrive at the classroom.

Most of them haven't arrived yet, and Xu Yu's seat is also empty.

The sun rises, and the warm yellow sunlight shines on the corridor outside the classroom. Everything around is filled with infinite vitality.

Chu Jing sat nervously in her seat, waiting for Xu Yu to appear.

The classmates came to the classroom one after another, but the seat next to her remained empty until the bell rang.

Chu Jing felt a little uneasy because Xu Yu had never been late before.

However, what was even more strange was that when Xu Yu didn't come, the other teachers and classmates didn't react at all.

No one even mentioned him, and no one was curious why Xu Yu didn't come.

After class, Chu Jing immediately took out his cell phone to send a message to Xu Yu.

However, the phone shows that the contact does not exist.

does not exist?

Chu Jing called Xu Yu again. The call was quickly connected, but the voice on the other end was that of a stranger.

Chu Jing asked the classmates, and they all shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know anyone named Xu Yu.

"Squad leader? Isn't Chen Hao the squad leader?"

Chen Hao is a tall boy wearing glasses.

"Xu Yu? Is he also a student of our school? I don't know him."

"Song Chujing, what's wrong with you?"

No one knew that there was a classmate named Xu Yu in the class, neither teachers nor students.

Looking at her transcript before she transferred here, I found that several classmates took turns to be the top student in the grade, and she was the only one who won the first prize in this math competition.

It seemed as if Xu Yu was just her imagination from beginning to end.

Chu Jing couldn't find Xu Yu anywhere.

In the next few days, Chu Jing did not find any trace of Xu Yu.

She asked 09: "Xu Yu is still in this school, right?"

09: “Still there.”

Chu Jing wondered if it was his attitude that day that made Xu Yu sad and disappointed.

So he didn't want to show up again.

Chu Jing was initially relieved that she didn't have to worry about how to face Xu Yu, but now thinking back to the situation in the archives room that day, she felt a vague sense of guilt.

But no matter what, Chu Jing's mission is not yet completed, and she must solve this matter.

Chu Jing began to think of ways to find Xu Yu.

The first person Chu Jing found was Teacher Guo.

In the office, Chu Jing put the homework on the teacher's desk and came to Teacher Guo.

Teacher Guo tilted his head to glance at Chu Jing, picked up the thermos cup he had been using to soak goji berries, and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Chu Jing nodded and said directly: "Teacher Guo, do you know Xu Yu?"

bang-

The lid of the thermos cup that Teacher Guo had just unscrewed slipped from his hand, hit the ground with a crisp sound, and rolled under the chair next to him.

Teacher Guo did not bend down to pick it up immediately, but stared at Chu Jing for two seconds before he came to his senses and bent down to pick up the thermos lid.

He said, "Which Xu Yu are you talking about? There's no student named Xu Yu in our grade, right?"

Chu Jing thought that this time her reaction was correct, "Wasn't there a student named Xu Yu in our school fifteen years ago?"

Teacher Guo pondered for a moment before cautiously saying, "Fifteen years ago, there was indeed a student of Xu Yu. Why are you asking about him? What is your relationship with him?"

Could it be a relative?

Fifteen years ago, he had just changed jobs and came to this school as a trainee teacher.

Chu Jing knew that if she didn't say this, Teacher Guo might not want to say another word, so she said, "Yes, I heard my family talking about Xu Yu last time, saying that he also studied in this school."

Teacher Guo's eyes showed shame. He moved his lips, but did not say anything as Chu Jing expected. Instead, he waved his hand:

"That's true, but that was more than ten years ago. I can't remember it clearly. If you want to know about him, you should go home and ask your parents."

Chu Jing: “…”

Chu Jing looked at Teacher Guo sincerely, "Teacher Guo, if my family had told me, I wouldn't have come to ask you. I heard that he was killed in a violent incident. Is this true?"

How could anyone forget such a serious matter? Not to mention fifteen years, even twenty-five years would be enough to remember it.

Teacher Guo's eyelids twitched violently, and he said sternly, "I don't know anything about this! I have something else to do, so please get out first!"

After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Chu Jing and buried his head in doing his own thing.

Chu Jing had no choice but to leave.

But it is obvious that Mr. Guo must be very clear about what happened fifteen years ago.

There was very little remaining information in this school. Chu Jing searched for a long time but could not find any more clues.

Xu Yu never appeared again.

During the time she was looking for Xu Yu, Chu Jing discovered that Tang Tang had not spoken to her for a long time.

And also blocked her.

Chu Jing thought this might be related to uterine cold.

But Tang Tang has been in good spirits recently. Far from having any suicidal tendencies, she seems to be living a good life.

Chu Jing no longer paid attention to Tang Tang's affairs.

That afternoon, Chu Jing came to the grove behind the former swimming pool.

There is still a forest here, but it has become bigger, and the outer part is a warehouse.

Few people come here, except for some couples who are having a tryst or students who come here to secretly smoke or do other things.

It was almost dusk. The leaves were lush and dense, the forest was deep and quiet, and the evening breeze blew, making the leaves rustle from time to time.

Chu Jing walked towards the place where the accident happened, feeling uneasy. Will Xu Yu show up this time?

As Chu Jing got closer to the scene of the accident, he felt the temperature around him became colder.

puff-

Suddenly there was a loud noise coming from the bushes, followed by a rustling sound.

There were only sounds but no voices.

Chu Jing saw the bushes over there began to shake, as if something was hiding inside.

She became nervous and mustered up her courage to slowly move towards that direction.

There was a loud crash and a man emerged from the bushes.

The man was wearing an old gray-blue robe, covered in dirt and leaves, and there was a hole at the bottom corner of the robe that was scratched by something.

"Master Taoist?" Chu Jing recognized this person. It was the Taoist who gave her the amulet.
