However, it wasn't long before he realized that Senior Sister was truly amazing. Every day, without fail, she would come to him. With Guo Senior's body, he managed to hold on for the first half of the month, but as time went on, he felt increasingly exhausted. Not only did his back and legs start to ache, but his memory also began to decline significantly.
He had once told Senior Sister not to be so frequent; it was bad for her health. But Senior Sister refused to listen, and every time Guo Senior saw her, it was as if he had taken a drug. Even when he mentally didn't want to do anything, he still couldn't control himself.
This continued until the start of the new semester. After that, without needing to look at the diary, I already knew what happened. However, to confirm that I hadn't missed any details, I flipped to the last entry.
To my surprise, the final entry was written by Guo Senior at school, on the day he committed suicide.
This diary entry contained only one sentence: "Today, everything will end; I am no longer afraid!"
Closing the diary, I sighed. Guo Senior had bought a little ghost out of love and fulfilled his wish because of it, but in the end, he realized he couldn't bear that wish. This matter was truly absurd.
That said, when Second Uncle gave me the Love Binding Charm, although he mentioned that Ajan had added Mind Control Powder to it to make Senior Sister attracted to Guo Senior, he never said that the Love Binding Charm could drive someone to such madness. Knowing Second Uncle's character, if such a thing could happen, he would have definitely warned me in advance.
I found it hard to understand and wondered if this time Second Uncle had chosen an unreliable Ajan.
Holding the diary, I initially planned to leave. However, as I passed by Senior Sister's room, I noticed she was alone inside; her parents were nowhere to be found. After hesitating for a moment, I pushed the door open and walked in because I wanted to find out if Senior Sister knew how crazy she had once been.
Seeing me enter, Senior Sister was taken aback. We had met before, so after looking at me a few times, a look of recollection appeared on her face. I approached her bedside and said, "Senior Sister, we've met before; do you remember?"
Senior Sister glanced at the diary in my hand and nodded slightly. Her expression wasn't pleasant as she said, "What are you doing here? You don't think I'm some kind of promiscuous woman, do you?"
I felt a bit awkward, but since we were already discussing this matter openly, there was no need for further concealment. Shaking the diary in my hand, I said, "This belongs to Guo Senior; he recorded your time together in it. It includes how you went to see him every day during your break..."
"That's nonsense!" Senior Sister suddenly shouted in anger and agitation upon hearing this. "He's just making things up! We broke up before the break; after that, I never saw him again! That lunatic is slandering me and even trying to kill me; he's just insane!"
I helplessly replied, "This is what’s written here; besides, I've heard him say it myself..."
Before I could finish my sentence, Senior Sister suddenly threw her phone at me and shouted loudly: "Look closely! After the break started, my parents and I went to Northeast China together and didn't return for over ten days! My parents can testify to this; my ID is on the hotel registration form! If that's not enough evidence for you guys, check the surveillance footage! See if I ran back and forth like a whore every day from Northeast China just to see him!"
I was taken aback for a moment as I picked up her phone and looked at it. There were photos of Senior Sister with her parents enjoying themselves in the icy landscape. These photos had different backgrounds and appeared to have been taken at various locations. I casually opened one of them and checked its properties; my eyes widened in shock when I saw the date clearly displayed—it was taken on January 22nd.
I remember that in Guo Senior's diary, it was recorded that he reconciled with Senior Sister on January 15th, and afterward, they were intimate every night.
How could this be? Before I could figure it out, Senior Sister coldly said, "Are you thinking that I secretly changed the time on my phone to deliberately forge these photos as evidence?"
I was taken aback; this was indeed possible. However, it was even more perplexing than Guo Senior writing a false diary. If what Guo Senior said was true, then Senior Sister must have had a very good relationship with him at that time. Why would she think about faking the photo dates?
Moreover, whether the photos were real or not could be easily verified. I felt she had no reason to lie about this matter. The key point is that it wouldn't serve any purpose!
So, does this mean that the real liar is Guo Senior?
But why would he do such a thing? And why did he commit murder after finishing his last diary entry and then jump off a building?
Everything seemed so unreasonable. What was even more incomprehensible was that when I saw Guo Senior after school started, he looked frail, like someone who had been using drugs for years. This physical condition couldn't be faked. And I was sure that Guo Senior wasn't using drugs because in high school, I had a classmate who was addicted and had to be sent to a Rehabilitation Center for forced detoxification. His daily behavior was completely different from Guo Senior's.
So, what was the purpose of him ruining his body like this and diligently writing dozens of fake diaries? Was it just to make it seem reasonable when he killed Senior Sister?
This speculation was too far-fetched; even I didn't believe it. He clearly loved Senior Sister so much that even when he was on the brink of mental collapse, he still couldn't bear to break up with her.
Seeing that I remained silent, Senior Sister said, "Do you have any more questions? Or do you still have doubts? Anyway, his family has already tarnished my reputation. No matter how much I say, no one will believe me. You all treat me like a whore; that's fine as long as I understand myself. But you people who refuse to see the truth and only want to believe that lunatic murderer—I curse your whole family to die out and for heaven to strike you down!"
Senior Sister was clearly furious to the extreme to say such vicious words. After her outburst, she suddenly threw her phone on the ground and then covered her face and began to cry. I didn't know how to continue talking to her; I felt like I had done something wrong.
I didn't dare stay in the hospital room any longer. I wanted to comfort her a bit but ended up getting hit by a pillow thrown at me.
Once outside the room, my head felt like it was spinning. What on earth was going on? A simple love dispute had turned into something more complicated than a locked-room murder case. No matter who among them was lying, I couldn't understand what purpose it served.
What were they trying to achieve?
After considering it for a moment, I decided to call Second Uncle, hoping to get some help from him and perhaps clarify these messy matters.
Second Uncle answered the phone. After I explained everything to him, he remained silent for a long time on the other end—perhaps deep in thought. After a while, he finally asked me, "Are you sure he ever turned the head of the Love Binding Charm around? And that afterward he never allowed anyone to take pictures during those times?"
I said, "Based on the entries in the diary, it should be like this."
Second Uncle replied, "I still can't figure out which of the two is lying. As you said, it doesn't help much. However, there's another possibility that you seem to have overlooked."
"What is it?" I asked.
"Have you considered that neither of them is lying?" Second Uncle said.
"Ah?" I exclaimed in surprise. How could that be possible? With two different answers, one must be wrong.
Second Uncle lowered his voice slightly and said, "The third possibility is that every night your Senior Sister goes to find him, but this Senior Sister, who has a strong desire, is not the one you saw in the hospital room."
"What do you mean?" I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine.
Second Uncle didn't provide me with a complete answer. He told me to first find the Love Binding Charm that was sold to Guo Senior; perhaps the answer lies with that little ghost. I vaguely understood his meaning but couldn't be entirely sure, and at the same time, I felt that this possibility was too bizarre to comprehend.
However, the little ghost itself is something that cannot be explained by common sense, so naturally, matters related to it should also be similarly inexplicable.
What troubled me was that Guo Senior's diary did not mention anything about the whereabouts of the Love Binding Charm.
Coincidentally, when I reached the hospital entrance, I unexpectedly saw Guo Senior's parents waiting for a ride by the roadside. They looked quite angry; I had no idea what they were going to do. After a moment's thought, I walked over to greet them. They had seen me before and knew that I had a good relationship with Guo Senior. In fact, before the incident, I had stayed in the hospital with them all night. Therefore, their attitude towards me was relatively polite.
