"What?!"
The short-haired girl's words immediately shocked almost everyone.
Ke Jiaxi was the first to lose his composure. "What kind of accident?"
The short-haired girl looked troubled. "Sorry, I can't say."
"Why?!" Xia Lan couldn't help raising her voice.
"The Instance introduction said we can't discuss the details of the accident while the dead spirit is present. The spirit currently has amnesia. If they hear those details and regain their memories, we'll immediately fail the Instance and suffer a party wipe."

Everyone fell silent, inwardly cursing the Instance.
Che Quan lowered his eyes, looking thoughtful.

"Um, my name is Sang Shiwen. I'm a sophomore. I accidentally witnessed that incident, and the physical and emotional trauma forced me to take a year off school. After I returned, that person took their own life. I made the momentous, risky decision to visit Talles Camp again
