Du Bai and Gao Ming looked at their phones. In the space of a single short class, hundreds of messages had appeared in the group chat.
Only after scrolling back for a long time did Gao Ming piece together what had happened.
The English class representative, Qian Junran, had taken a few of the guys to the basketball court, hoping to recapture the energy of their youth. They had just changed into their jerseys when Cao Song, the oldest student in their class, who had repeated a year, suddenly spotted someone standing at a third-floor window in the Office Building. It looked like Saeki.
Holding a basketball, he waved in that direction. Saeki waved back enthusiastically, but a moment later, Cao Song saw another "Saeki" in a hospital gown appear behind him!
His waving hand froze in midair. Cao Song wanted to warn Saeki, but in the next instant, he witnessed a scene he would never forget.
The Saeki in the hospital gown had found a knife somewhere and was frantically plunging it into the normal Saeki's chest. Blood spattered across the curtains and Saeki's face, until all that remained visible in the window was a pair of arms flailing in a desperate struggle.
The basketball fell from Cao Song's arms. He was petrified, and the others had to call out to him for a long time before he came to his senses.
He shouted out the horrific scene he had witnessed. Without even stopping to change, they all ran to the Office Building.
But when they broke through the door and reached the office where the murder had taken place, both Saeki and Saeki's corpse were gone.
There was no blood in the room. Only a piece of the curtain had been torn away.
