Ma Xu was frightened by his sudden thought. He trembled and took a deep breath to calm his panicked heart.

No... that shouldn't be the case... I haven't been out... and there's no sign that the tent has been opened...

I can't possibly kill him... I have no grudge against him... I don't have a history of sleepwalking...

Ma Xu told himself again and again that Ji Jie's disappearance had nothing to do with him, but he couldn't help but think about the dream he had again last night...

He had the same dream again... He knocked Ji Jie unconscious with a shovel and buried her alive in the mud...

Ma Xu shook his head fiercely and grabbed the phone. Impossible! In the video, he never went out! How could he kill someone! Ji Jie must have gone out by herself, but the phone didn't take a picture because of some coincidence... Yes... It must be like this...

He will definitely be able to see Ji Jie when the group gathers later...

...

Lin Jiayan was extremely sleepy. He had been staying at the same place since he changed shifts with Jun Li last night. Occasionally, he would get up and walk around not far from the student tent in an attempt to discover something.

Jun Li had just woken up at this time. He couldn't sleep well in such a place at all. He barely slept for a few hours before coming out.

"How was last night?"

Jun Li yawned and looked at Lin Jiayan, who was equally tired, with slightly red eyes.

"There was no movement, no one came out, I even went around the tent but there was nothing."

Lin Jiayan's head was aching all the time, obviously he didn't get enough rest. He seldom stayed up late, but last night he did it for the first time and he had to concentrate fully and listen to the movement of his arm, which made him very tired.

"Nothing? Didn't Li Gui do anything last night?"

Jun Li frowned slightly and whispered: "It shouldn't be like this... You all said someone was being targeted... How could it be..."

"I don't know. I really didn't hear anything last night. You know I have good hearing."

Lin Jiayan stood up and patted Jun Li on the shoulder: "I'm going to sleep for a while. I have a terrible headache."

"Um…"

Jun Li put his hands in his pockets and looked at the tent where people had already gotten up one after another. He looked for a long time and waited quietly for the squad leader Liu Yang to come out and call for the roll call.

He suddenly noticed that when the monitor called Ji Jie's name, no one responded. He called it several times but no one responded, as if this person did not exist in the class at all.

Jun Li noticed that the boy who had come and sat with Xia Chun for half a day yesterday seemed to be missing, so the monitor asked someone to go to the tent to look for him to see if he had overslept.

However, there was one person in the team whose expression was intriguing...

Jun Li remembered that the boy named Ma Xu seemed to have had some unpleasantness with the missing Ji Jie yesterday. The two had a good relationship at the beginning, but after planting a tree and coming back, they ignored each other.

In addition, when the roll call was just now, the guy named Ma Xu seemed to have been paying attention to Ji Jie's name. When Ji Jie's name was called, he wanted to stick his head out and look around. However, when he realized that Ji Jie was not there, his face instantly became extremely ugly.

Jun Li frowned and quietly observed everyone's actions. He had some vague guesses...

Was the boy who accompanied the girl yesterday the Ji Jie who didn’t show up for roll call today? Ma Xu’s reaction was so unexpected. He seemed to be worried and afraid that Ji Jie was gone. What was he afraid of? Did he know that Ji Jie might be dead?

But... why would he know...

"The person who was entangled by Li Gui has changed."

Bai Ze appeared behind him without knowing when. He also looked at the group of students and then sighed slowly: "The student who didn't show up for roll call, the one named Ji Jie, is dead."

Although Jun Li also realized this, he was still shocked. He couldn't help but say, "But we took turns to watch last night and didn't hear any movement! We didn't see anyone coming out! There was not even a scream... How could he die so quietly..."

"I don't know, but the evil aura has indeed shifted, and now it's shifted to..."

Bai Ze raised his eyes and pointed at Ma Xu, who was pale and twitching slightly...

"Transferred to him..."

Jun Li frowned for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Should we try to find the body of the boy named Ji Jie now?"

"Well... we don't know how the murder was committed right now, so it's really necessary to find the body. Also..."

Bai Ze paused, stared at Ma Xu who was obviously terrified, and said coldly: "The abnormal behavior of that student makes me think that he must know the cause of Ji Jie's death and even the location of the body, otherwise the evil aura would not be transferred to him immediately after Ji Jie's death."

"We have to find a way to find the body through him and get what he knows, so as to deduce the method and conditions of the murder and make a decision."

"Well, then we will focus on following that boy during the day. Since he is so scared, he will definitely go to confirm Ji Jie's location, and we can find the body by following him."

Jun Li responded and took out his cell phone to send a message to Lin Jiayan, so that he wouldn't have to waste time explaining it to him again when Lin Jiayan woke up.

After doing all this, Jun Li and Bai Ze focused on keeping a close eye on Ma Xu. However, the classmates from Ma Xu's class went to Ji Jie's tent but did not find Ji Jie. There was no one in the tent and the curtain was open.

When Ma Xu learned about this, he immediately felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. His pupils constricted and he subconsciously licked his lips anxiously over and over again.

Impossible... You must be kidding...

How could Ji Jie disappear out of thin air? He must have gotten up early and wandered around by himself...

"Ma Xu, what's wrong with you? You don't look well?"

Jiang Wu noticed that Ma Xu was different and asked subconsciously, but Ma Xu shuddered and was stunned for a long time before he stammered: "Ah... I... I was just wondering why Ji Jie disappeared... Where did he go..."

"Oh... As expected of a good deskmate, he really cares about him. But I don't think there's any need to panic. There are classmates everywhere. Maybe Ji Jie couldn't sleep early in the morning and went out for a stroll. She will be back soon."

Jiang Wu yawned and didn't care about it at all. Only Ma Xu was silent and recalled the dream of last night over and over again in his mind...

He knocked Ji Jie unconscious with a shovel and buried her in a slightly empty forest... It wasn't the class's base, so no one would go there... After burying her, he didn't take the bloody shovel back but just threw it there...

As long as we find a chance to see if there is a shovel in that place... we can find out what Ji Jie is like...

No! There must be no shovel! How could he kill someone! This is obviously just a dream!!!

Ma Xu stayed up all night in a daze. He didn't notice that Xia Chun was looking at him. Xia Chun didn't look well. It seemed that he didn't sleep well in the tent last night. His face showed some fatigue.

Xia Chun had a dream last night. She dreamed that she was alone and went into Ma Xu's tent in the dark...

Xia Chun had trouble sleeping, and she woke up at this point. She originally thought it was just an ordinary dream, but she didn't expect that as soon as she fell asleep, she would dream of herself entering Ma Xu's tent, like a wretched peeping Tom, silently staring at the sleeping Ma Xu beside the bed...

This dream kept repeating itself all night, making Xia Chun unable to sleep well. Today, as soon as she started to gather, she couldn't help but look at Ma Xu. She really couldn't understand why Ma Xu, who was not familiar with her at all, suddenly appeared in her dream...

Ma Xu looks like an ordinary high school boy, even a little chubby, but Xia Chun likes guys with a nice body and strong abdominal muscles. Xia Chun really doesn't think she will be attracted to Ma Xu, but she feels very uncomfortable after not being able to sleep well for a whole night because of Ma Xu.
