Chapter 52: The truth behind Min Yizhou’s death

After experiencing several shocks, Zhu Yang’s mind was already dazed. Suddenly seeing that there were actually four or five lecherous male ghosts nearby watching short videos, he panicked and fled in blind confusion.

Pei Ye: “...”

Zhu Chun’an: “...”

The principal and Xiao Pangzi: “...”

Ah, so this is the truth behind the previous principal being forced to step down and still “dying with regrets”?

Do you even know that after your fall from the building, it triggered a major social hot topic, and X University was hung on the internet and whipped by netizens for three to five days?

Something like how people of the so-called “flower-growing family” are learning foreign languages and forcing one of their own to death...

Something like how the education system is not good, blindly copying foreigners is truly heartbreaking...

Something like how X University has no humanity, requiring CET-4 and CET-6 exams for graduation is too inhumane...

When the former principal resigned, he was so wronged his hair had receded into a full “boiled egg” shape.

To be honest, students who were admitted to a top 233-ranked university purely by ability, yet still had not passed CET-4 by their third year, is that really the school’s fault?

Xiao Pangzi nodded in agreement and casually delivered another blow to Zhu Yang.

“I can understand why you rejected that Celestial Master’s soul summoning back then. It really was too embarrassing.”

After confirming that Zhu Yang had died accidentally rather than committing suicide, Pei Ye felt a certain satisfaction from her obsessive need for order.

Next came Min Yizhou.

She looked toward Min Yizhou, who was calmly watching the show from the side, and asked, “And you? How did you die?”

Before Min Yizhou could respond, Zhu Yang suddenly dropped to his knees, hugging Min Yizhou’s leg and crying loudly.

“I’m sorry (＞人＜；), bro Yizhou, I’m really sorry...”

He cried miserably, but unfortunately there were no tear tracks on his deathly pale face, and his pitch-black eyes were completely lifeless, making the scene look both awkward and ridiculous.

“I really didn’t mean it, wuwuwu...”

Everyone looked at Zhu Yang in surprise.

“Min Yizhou’s death... is related to you?”

Min Yizhou was tall, with a clean and handsome face. After becoming a ghost, he instead gained a somewhat decadent and depressed aura.

His death after falling from the building was not a pleasant sight.

Min Yizhou himself could not accept the fact of his death, so he used most of his yin energy to maintain his appearance from when he was alive.

He slowly said, “I know you. You are Xiao Hong, Lei Yating’s roommate, right?”

Zhu Yang interjected, “Hey master, your nickname is Little Red? Then where is Little Ming?”

“Shut up!”

Pei Ye swung her hand and slapped the foul-mouthed Zhu Yang flying three meters away.

It hurt a bit, but it would not kill him.

Min Yizhou’s ghostly face seemed to show faint cracks, but it quickly returned to calm.

“There were rumors outside saying you committed suicide after a breakup, but videos showed your spirit together with Zhu Yang’s, and there were also rumors on campus that Zhu Yang used you as a substitute for his death.”

Many novels describe suicidal vengeful ghosts as having deep obsessions, unable to leave the place where they died, repeatedly reliving their death.

In order to escape this pain, such ghosts would lure ordinary people and kill them as substitutes.

They make the living soul repeat their death process, while the ghost itself is freed.

Celestial Master circles had similar theories, but in reality becoming a vengeful ghost was not so easy, and the requirements for substitute death were also very strict.

Otherwise, there would be vengeful ghosts from every suicide, drowning, car crash, and so on, constantly seeking substitutes.

Zhu Yang carefully crawled back and weakly defended himself.

“Celestial Master boss, I really did not use him as a substitute.”

Min Yizhou also explained.

“My death has a small connection with him, but... it cannot be said that he killed me.”

Zhu Yang said emotionally, “Good brother, I am truly sorry!”

“Then tell us exactly what happened. Professor An’s time is limited. I want a brief and clear explanation.”

Min Yizhou did not get angry. In fact, he had always been good-tempered both in life and after death, so he did not feel offended.

“It was probably a little over a month ago. The girls’ dorm next door started frequently losing... cough, losing underwear and underpants...”

Min Yizhou lived in Dorm Building E for boys. The student apartment building next door was the girls’ dorm.

At first, the situation was not serious. Only a few girls said their socks were missing, and no one paid much attention. Who has not lost socks before?

Maybe after a month or two, you would find them under the bed in some corner, already moldy and growing mushrooms.

However, after a couple of days, more and more girls reported missing items.

Not only socks, but also underwear and underpants.

“Was it Zhu Yang who stole them?”

Min Yizhou shook his head. Zhu Yang looked wronged, pitiful, and helpless.

Although his fall from the building was related to certain issues, it did not mean he was that kind of perverted person.

Xiao Hong Celestial Master was really unjustly accusing a ghost, he felt extremely wronged.

QAQ “It was not Zhu Yang who stole them, but it was indeed a ghost.”

Min Yizhou hesitated and said, “Before I accidentally fell to my death, I always thought it was students from the school or nearby men sneaking in to steal women’s private items. Later, a classmate asked me for help, so I helped.”

Pei Ye raised her brows. “Asked you for help?”

Min Yizhou’s expression dimmed. He smiled bitterly.

“Now that I think about it, it was probably just an excuse.”

Zhu Yang muttered beside them, “That girl had liked Min Yizhou for a long time, but Min Yizhou was dating a little fox spirit from the nursing college next door.”

In short, that female classmate had a crush on Min Yizhou.

After learning that Min Yizhou had broken up with his girlfriend, she used it as an excuse to get closer to him and pursue him.

She never expected that Min Yizhou would die as a result of a chain of unfortunate events.

“That girl lost something?”

Zhu Yang shrugged. “Didn’t I say it was just an excuse to approach him? She did not lose anything. After the thief was caught, do you know what the underwear thief said? He said he had standards even in crime, only stealing from pretty girls. That girl was not pretty, and also had body odor, bad breath, heavy tartar, did not like washing hair, did not like washing face, did not like dressing up... in summer she wore the same underwear for six days without changing... there was no way he would steal her private items...”

Pei Ye: “...”

Xiao Pangzi was confused.

“So Min Yizhou died because of that perverted ghost, but how is this related to you?”

“Born as an X University student, dead as an X University ghost.” Zhu Yang clenched his fist loyally. “Can we tolerate an outside ghost harassing students at X University?”

Although he was somewhat perverted himself, his character was still righteous.

After hearing that the girls’ dorm was being harassed by an outside perverted ghost stealing things, he secretly skipped Professor An’s class and went out to catch the ghost.

Coincidentally, at that time Min Yizhou also accepted the female student’s request to catch the pervert.

Sigh, the two matters collided, and tragedy happened.

“Brother Yizhou had very low fortune those few days before his death, making him prone to encountering ghosts. Worse, he could not distinguish between living people and dead ghosts. He saw suspicious ghost shadows and chased after them all the way to the rooftop. I was also waiting to catch that perverted ghost, and when I saw Brother Yizhou get involved, I used a ghost wall to trap him. That perverted ghost was strange and I was not its match at all. I almost got eaten. Luckily Professor An caught me for skipping class and arrived in time. Brother Yizhou got caught in it, and while leaving the ghost wall, he was confused by the ghost’s aura and mistook the rooftop railing for something else... sigh, I tried to stop him, but who knew he was so fast, he jumped over the railing...”
