"Then one day, a student who was a bit superstitious suggested that we find a temple with good charisma to worship and burn some incense."

"Anyway, we have tried every possible method, except this idealistic method!"

"The problem is that curses can't be explained from a scientific perspective. Maybe if we go to a temple and worship the gods and Buddhas, they can really break the curse!"

The old teacher coughed and spoke softly, "We really had nowhere else to turn at that time. We tried everything, but there was really nothing we could do."

"We decided to give it a try. We asked the school for permission to go out and worship the gods. The curse is known to everyone and is no longer a secret. The school agreed immediately."

Jun Li frowned and looked at Bai Ze when he heard this. Obviously, they both knew that there was no God in the world, so the method of praying to God to end the curse would not work at all.

"So it was you who did something when you went to the temple to worship that caused the curse to be broken, because you just said that previous students followed your example and went to the temple to worship but failed to break the curse."

Jun Li's mind was working rapidly, his brows were furrowed and his expression was serious.

That would be troublesome... It is very likely that someone in the class did something that interrupted the curse, and it is definitely impossible for everyone to know about it. It is like the teacher is confused and doesn't know what is going on, and how the curse stopped by praying to God.

"I think so...but I really don't know what we did."

The old teacher sighed helplessly: "After all, every subsequent class imitated us in worshipping the gods and cursing, and it didn't stop. This shows that the problem is not with worshipping the gods."

"But I really don't know which student did what to stop the curse, and it's been so long, our memories have been affected by the curse, and to be honest, we can't remember clearly anymore."

"Can you recount everything that happened on the way up to the temple that year and the scenes on the way back?"

Bai Ze propped up his face and looked at the old teacher: "Try to recall. I think it can't be a trivial matter to stop the curse. Someone must have done something, or something unexpected happened that stopped the curse by mistake."

"It's just that for some reason the student didn't say anything, but this is very strange."

Bai Ze looked at Jun Li with his blue eyes, signaling him to take over the conversation. This time, Jun Li did not lose the thread and took over immediately: "It is indeed strange. Let me give you an example. If I did something that ended the curse by accident, I would definitely want to beat drums and gongs and set off firecrackers, so that all of you would worship and thank me!"

"After all, I saved your lives. I am your savior."

Jun Li raised his eyebrows and said, "I wish the whole world would know how awesome I am! I found a way to end the curse!"

"So why didn't the student dare to speak up for such a great opportunity? Is it because he couldn't say it out loud?"

Bai Ze smiled and said word by word: "I actually have a guess. I can probably guess why that student managed to end the curse but didn't dare to say a word."

"why?"

Jun Li and the old teacher were unable to turn around, but Bai Ze had already seen through some things.

He cleared his throat slowly and elegantly crossed his legs and said, "Because he probably killed someone."

"Kill... kill someone?"

The old teacher's pupils shrank slightly and then he shook his head gently: "That shouldn't be the case. This curse will cause continuous deaths. Even if it is a man-made killing, what difference will it make?"

“The difference is.”

Bai Ze held his chin with a cold light in his eyes, and then he spoke softly: "The difference is... he killed..."

"It's the real 'extra person'!"

In an instant, the air in the room seemed to freeze completely, leaving only the breathing sounds of the three people. Jun Li was the first to react and responded immediately: "Yes! Killing the extra people will completely return the changed class size to the original point!"

"Students have been dying before, but they were ordinary people, not the extra person!!"

"So killing ordinary people is useless! But killing the extra people can make everything return to its original peace!"

"Isn't it because of this curse that people started dying because of that 'extra person' who changed the class size?!"

"Now that the extra people are dead, the curse has no source of activation! That's why it was interrupted!"

Jun Li became more and more excited as he spoke, his arms trembling slightly: "That student killed someone by accident! He was just a junior high school student! He would definitely collapse if he killed someone!! He definitely wouldn't dare to say it!"

"Even if he later discovered that the curse seemed to have stopped because he had killed someone, he wouldn't dare to say anything! He wouldn't even dare to take credit for it! He couldn't tell you that the curse was stopped because he had killed someone himself!"

The old teacher was silent for a moment, and then his pupils shrank slightly. He moved the corners of his mouth and whispered softly: "Could it be that time..."

"We were coming down the mountain after worshipping the gods when we encountered a landslide."

"The scene was extremely chaotic. It seemed that some students had a conflict and started fighting, which resulted in a stampede! In the panic, they fell off the cliff!"

"It was so chaotic at that time that if I accidentally killed someone, it would be possible for no one to know about it!"

Bai Ze nodded and said in a deep voice: "So now we have deduced that the way to stop the curse is to kill the 'extra person'. Although this deduction has not been confirmed, we don't need to panic yet."

"Now that we have figured out the general direction, what we need to do is the same thing - find 'the real extra person'!"

"No matter if killing him is useful or not, or if the curse can be interrupted, our first priority must be to find him first!"

Jun Li sighed and held his forehead slightly: "The problem is that we can't find any clues related to the 'extra people' now, so how can we rule out so many students? What's more, everyone's memory has been tampered with, which means we can't rule it out at all."

Bai Ze glanced at him and said coldly, "Isn't there a suspect? Can't we just find a way to eliminate her first?"

Jun Li paused and thought that it seemed to be the case. Since they had a goal in mind, they did not stay for long. They said goodbye to the old teacher and quickly left the school.

...

Ye Ning took a nap alone. She didn't plan to get up but was woken up by a phone call.

She sat up drowsily, touched the phone behind the pillow, checked the contact person and answered the call.

"Hello? Dad."

"Hmm...very good..."

Ye Ning yawned, obviously still sleepy. She turned over and just closed her eyes but suddenly opened them.

"What? Isn't this my first time in City A? Did you remember it wrong?"

Ye Ning is not a native of City A. She transferred here from another place. Because her parents were busy, they left her to study at her grandparents' home in City A.

Ye Ning remembered that this was her first time in City A. She had always had a good memory, but her father suddenly asked during the conversation, "Do you think City A is better now than the last time you came here a few years ago?"

The problem is that Ye Ning really doesn’t remember having been to City A. In her impression, this should be her first time here.

Then why did her father mention that he had been here a few years ago...

The voice of her father in Ye Ning's ears became increasingly blurred. Her mind was blank and she just swallowed hard.

Is there something wrong with my memory...

Why don't I have the slightest impression of having been to City A a few years ago...

I couldn't have come here a few years ago...

If what my father said is true...she has indeed been to City A...could it be that she has forgotten it because of the curse...

Ye Ning's pupils suddenly shrank, and a chill swept through her body...

Could it be that... I died a few years ago...

The curse wiped my memory...

Could it be that…

I really am the "extra" "dead person who shouldn't exist"...
