"Tan Ming," he said, "there won't be such a day for Yan Qing."
"Who doesn't have such a day?" Qi Qiuluo retorted, internally scoffing at the notion as if it could somehow protect Yan Qing. What a hypocritical man!
Qi Qiuluo had never liked Tan Ming; he found his demeanor and style reminiscent of Jiang Li, which made him uncomfortable. To his surprise, the two actually knew each other, and that only added to his irritation.
Tan Ming repeated himself, and Qi Qiuluo's lips curled in disdain. "None of us will have that day," Yan Qing interjected, putting his hands in his pockets. He truly didn’t want to continue bickering with Qi Qiuluo; dealing with an emotional child was exhausting.
No one wished for such a day to come.
Tan Ming's gaze drifted into the distance, landing on a dormitory building at Nanyuan. The outer wall was painted black, with a noticeable crack running along it all the way to the roof. From his vantage point above, he could see an irregular horizontal line splitting open at the top, extending from left to right before abruptly halting and breaking into a large gap. Light streamed through the fissure, illuminating the area below.
Climbing plants had avoided the darkened section and spread outwards instead. Tan Ming's focus sharpened on the Nanyuan Building.
On the fifth floor of that building, a row of glass windows reflected light, but one window on the left had a gap. A triangular shard of glass, about the size of a palm, still clung to the left corner of the window frame, not yet fallen. Light poured through the frame and cast a mark resembling a lightning strike on the wall.
Yan Qing's expression darkened as he observed this. The distance made it hard for him to see which specific dormitory it was, but he had a gut feeling about that spot.
Ling Xingyuan suddenly recalled, "I remember before the system activation, there was a storm at school—thunder and lightning! It must have been struck by lightning then!"
Everyone fell silent, contemplating the implications.
It was too precise.
The floors aligned perfectly.
"Let's go take a look!"
Yan Qing's heart had been uneasy since he stepped onto the stairs of the building.
He walked all the way to the fifth floor, finally confirming that the dormitory struck by lightning was indeed the one they were looking for. The tension in Yan Qing's chest eased completely.
It was fortunate that the dormitory was the one hit; moreover, one of the clues laid out by the system from the very beginning pointed to someone from this dormitory. It seemed that the truth had been presented by the system right from the start, yet none of them had come to verify it!
The group stood at the door of the dormitory, facing a door that was as ordinary as could be. The hidden truth might lie just behind this door, and their breaths quickened with nervousness.
Tan Ming's gaze fell on the information sheet for Dormitory Residents posted on the door.
Number Two Bed: Zhao Xiang.
Number Two Bed: He Zhengwei.
Number Two Bed: Yan Qing.
Number Two Bed: [Blank].
Tan Ming placed his hand on the doorknob. After exchanging anxious glances with the others, he pushed the door open with determination.
