The art exhibition hall occupies the entire floor. Many students participating in the design show have already taken their seats, and some students are busy setting up the venue.

Chu Yao casually asked a few foreign students from China and easily got the information he wanted.

This design show is divided into morning and afternoon sessions. Chu Mingjing is the judge and instructor of the afternoon session and will rush to the venue during the lunch break.

With nothing to do, Chu Yao found a seat and searched Toland's social account.

His account is the public account of the Marangoni Mysterious Hobby Club. In the early years, he posted a lot of publicity and records of the club’s activities.

It is not difficult to see that their club treats every activity with great care, and students who have participated will also leave messages in the comment area.

Although most of them were in foreign languages ​​that Chu Yao couldn't understand, she used a translation software to briefly translate them, and they were basically all well received.

Scroll down further and it’s when the club was first established.

On December 12, the club published its first blog post, which was a photo of four people.

Standing in the center is a handsome boy with long red hair. He is wearing a black shirt with "Mysterious Hobby Club" and "Marangoni" written on it. He should be the president Toland.

The person standing in front of him on the left was Qi Yajing, whom Chu Yao had just met. Her personality did not match her name at all, and she made a face in front of the camera.

Her funny behavior did not arouse dissatisfaction from others. On the contrary, Toland looked at her with a bit of endearment.

Next to Qi Yajing was a bookish, round-faced girl with short hair. Her eyes were not staring at the camera, but quietly looking in Toland's direction.

There is a tall black-haired boy on the right side of Toland. He should be of mixed race, and he is holding a scepter in his hand.

The last message sent by the society was a missing person notice. Qi Yajing disappeared and her whereabouts are still unknown.

Chu Yao knew that she was not missing, but dead.

He died in this teaching building, above the elevator, on the thirteenth floor that should not exist.

It is unknown whether her death was related to Toland and the other two.

Turning off his phone, Chu Yao observed the people walking around boredly. There were many Chinese people present. Some showed confidence and high spirits just by looking at their expressions, while others had sad faces, fearing that the work they prepared would be criticized by the teacher.

She suddenly saw the round-faced girl in the photo. She was much thinner now and was sitting in the back row of the auditorium.

There was an empty seat next to her, as if waiting for someone to come.

However, the location they chose was not good. Chu Yao looked at the crystal chandelier directly above her head. If it fell down, the people below would definitely suffer head injuries and bloodshed on the spot.

Chu Yao stood up and sat directly next to the girl.

The round-faced girl was stunned. After a long time, she pushed up her glasses and whispered: "Well... I'm sorry, there are already people here. Can you, can you sit in a different position?"

"But I didn't see anyone else." Chu Yao spread his hands, "This place is empty, I just want to sit here, can't I?"

The round-faced girl explained: "I reserved these two consecutive seats on the school's official website. You see, I still have the reservation certificate on my phone. And these two numbers are really important to us, so... …”

Chu Yao thought to himself, no matter how important it is, is it as important as your lives?

The chandelier above their heads had been tampered with and would probably fall down in an hour. If she directly told the round-faced girls to change their seats now, the person who did it would definitely notice it.

Therefore, Chu Yao decided to wait until the chandelier fell before calling them out.

Chu Yao continued to say unreasonably: "I don't know whether to make an appointment or not. The person next to you didn't come. What's wrong with me sitting there for a while?"

"But, there are other seats in front..." The round-faced girl pointed to other empty seats.

"I just like the number of this seat number." Chu Yao looked back at the number plate on the seat, "No. 13, isn't it okay?"

"Why are you like this..." the round-faced girl complained aggrievedly.

She wanted to say something more, but the design show was about to start. If she had a dispute with someone, they would all be kicked out together.

This design show is of great significance to her, and she doesn't want to make any mistakes.

Many freshmen participated in the design show, and their whimsical ideas and immature techniques earned them harsh comments from their teachers.

Among them, there are occasionally some eye-catching designs.

About forty minutes later, Chu Yao heard a magnetic male voice coming from beside him.

It's a pity that what he spoke was not Mandarin or English, and Chu Yao couldn't understand it.

However, the round-faced girl suddenly raised her head and anxiously explained to the man for a long time. She deliberately kept her voice very low because she was afraid of disturbing others watching the design show.

Chu Yao looked up and saw that the man was bent over, his long red hair covering his eyes, and he looked very melancholy.

He is Toland, the president of Marangoni's mysterious association.

"Um... I'm sorry, could you please change your seat? We can buy it with cash or transfer!" The round-faced girl opened her bag and took out a few bills.

Chu Yao rejected her: "I'm not short of money."

"Okay. Then don't reject me first. I'll think of something for you, and you can make a decision after listening to it." The round-faced girl followed what Toland taught her and said to Chu Yao in detail, "We The two of us belong to the same club, and the day the club was established was December 13th. But a friend we were very close to disappeared..."

Chu Yao asked calmly: "Her name is Qi Yajing, right?"

"How do you know?!" She unconsciously raised her voice, attracting the attention of those around her.

At this time, the chandelier above their heads had begun to make some disturbing noises, and the ropes creaked and swayed, but they were drowned out by the background music of the design show.

Chu Yao smiled slightly, "What if I know where she is? Would you like to go out and chat with me?"

"But... let's discuss it."

The round-faced girl turned around and said a few words to Toland, and finally agreed to Chu Yao.

The significance of the design show lies in the fact that Toland's work is dedicated to Qi Yajing. If she can be found in person, the work will not be so important.

As soon as the three people walked out of the exhibition hall door, they heard a lot of noise outside.

Many students gathered in front of the elevator door, and some shouted in English, "Ambulance! Call an ambulance!"

Through the crowd, they could vaguely see a hint of red.
