Chapter 24: The School Is Suddenly Closed, and Public Opinion Ferments

The next day, in a large, quaint and dark room.

Long Ge said to the figure with his back turned to him: "Elder, we found Zheng Yueling dead last night."

"What did you say?!"

"After learning the lesson from the last failure of Long Hai, we gathered people last night and planned to bring the strange spider over. But when we got there, we found that not only was the person dead, but the spider was also missing." Longge said.

"Moreover, other poisonous insects have also disappeared. Judging from the situation at the scene, she should have been killed by the spider..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the elder's surprised voice came: "Are you mistaken? The girl who was able to drive back an inner disciple like Long Hai on her own and lose two of his Gu worms was actually killed by a spider. Killed the Lord?"

"That spider probably doesn't have such a method yet... This, it's growing too fast."

The elder pondered for a while and said solemnly: "We must capture these Gu insects. Next, you must find the traces of the demon spider as soon as possible. Once its location is confirmed, do not act rashly."

"You will report it to me then, and it will be safest for me to take action myself to subdue it."

"Yes, elder." Longge nodded and responded.

...

When he woke up, Chen Zhang thought he was still dreaming.

He never expected to receive such a sensational text message. Someone pretended to be Bai Jie and sent him a text message?

Is it a prank?

But such doubts were quickly dispelled as Chen Zhang read on.

This... Chen Zhang's pupils suddenly shrank, his eyelids stretched wide, his lips trembled, and his face changed.

Confusion, shock, embarrassment, surprise, worry, a series of emotions flashed across his face one by one, and finally he became trance-like.

Bai Jie is still alive!

It also brought him a lot of important information: meteorites, strange creatures, parasites, Zheng Yueling, missing persons, the Criminal Investigation Department...

Keywords appeared in Chen Zhang's mind one by one, connecting them in series.

Chen Zhang's thoughts were instantly triggered, the waves crashed on the shore, the waves surged into the sky, and at the same time a mist rose.

After a while, he jumped up from the bed and dialed the phone: "Wai? Monitor, I want to ask something about that woman's ex-boyfriend..."

...

Although Chen Zhang didn't know what Bai Jie wanted to do, he still forwarded the information he got from the monitor to the number Bai Jie used.

"Fuck! It's not good!"

Chen Zhang was startled by a sudden loud roar in the dormitory.

"What's wrong?" Chen Zhang looked at his roommate, Wang Xiaofan.

There were four people in their dormitory. Except for Bai Jie who was missing and He Jun who stayed away last night, he and Wang Xiaofan were the only ones staying in the dormitory.

"Something big happened! We are closing the school!"

"WTF!? Why is the school suddenly closed?"

Chen Zhang immediately checked the class group to see if there was any official notice.

Sure enough, he saw the announcement of the closure of Star University:

[Due to the current serious security situation around the campus, in order to protect the health and safety of our school's teachers and students, the school leaders have decided to temporarily close the campus from now on, and prohibit irrelevant personnel from entering the campus...

And starting from tomorrow, law enforcement officers will be stationed inside the school and at its entrances and exits...

The cancellation time will be notified later. 】

Then, in the small class group without a teacher, he saw a message that made him breathless:

[Do you know why the school was suddenly closed? 】

[What's going on? Five missing people were not banned before, but now they are suddenly banned! 】

[I heard...Senior Sister Zheng from our college died last night]

【? ? ? 】

【! Are you kidding me? 】

Chen Zhang didn't read any more, but dialed Xia Qimeng's phone again in surprise.

Before he could speak this time, he heard a Qingwan voice coming from the phone: "I just asked my uncle, she... is indeed dead."

"Her neighbor heard the screams and asked outside. When no one responded, he reported the incident."

...

On the other side, Bai Jie received a text message from Chen Zhang.

And learned that Zheng Yueling's ex-boyfriend was one of the four missing persons, named Long Xiaofeng.

Sure enough, Zheng Yueling, who was parasitized, did not let go of her ex-boyfriend.

This also shows to a certain extent that Zheng Yueling is not completely controlled by the weird purple light.

In addition, Bai Jie also learned that the school security guard was accused of murdering four other missing persons besides himself. This man was also crazy.

"From the current point of view, it is very likely that the security guard was pulled out to take the blame."

"But, my body is not among them?!"

"Where did she go? Could it be that she faked her body? Or did she disappear out of thin air? Zheng Yueling must know, but it's a pity that she is already dead."

Bai Jie looked at the numerous law enforcement vehicles surrounding the community and the detectives from the Criminal Investigation Department entering and leaving Zheng Yueling's house, and knew that the demon girl's death had been exposed.

Chen Zhang then sent a text message, talking about Zheng Yueling’s death:

[...It is said that there are spider silk on the body and traces of scratches from sharp objects, but the murderer has not yet been identified, and the official has not notified it. Only the media has begun to report it]

He also asked Bai Jie if he knew any clues about the murderer.

Bai Jie laughed to himself, let alone a clue, I know the murderer's identity, motives and modus operandi, but I won't tell you.

Bai Jie could only reply that he didn't know, and said that it might be an action taken by Zheng Yueling's associates to silence him.

Bai Jie immediately opened the social platform on his phone and clicked on the hot search in the same city.

The first on the hot search list was "A female college student from a prestigious school was brutally murdered at home".

The top media accounts all said that a large amount of spider silk and signs of struggle were found in the home of the murdered girl. They also introduced that the girl worked part-time as a reptile anchor and kept a large number of valuable reptiles at home.

But many of the breeding boxes at home were empty.

The comments below were full of imagination.

[It should be an acquaintance who committed the crime and wanted to do something wrong, but he overturned the breeding box during the fight, causing a large number of spiders to crawl out]

[The hand was broken... Is this a revenge killing or a love killing...]

[It should be a robbery? Even the valuable reptiles were taken away]

In the hot search, some netizens exposed Zheng Yueling's live broadcast account ID based on her school background and part-time job.

This news was also quickly pushed to the top.

[Fuck! ? It can’t be her, I’ve been watching her live for a long time]

[I hope the blogger is spreading rumors, I hope it’s a misunderstanding]

[I’m her fan!!! She has a super big spider at home, and some even say she’s from the legendary Wu Gu tribe]

[I suddenly shuddered when I saw you say that, could it be that spider killed its owner? ]

[......]

Public opinion is fermenting wildly.

Zheng Yueling’s previous live broadcasts were dug out, especially the recent fights between “Nyx” and other poisonous insects, which attracted great attention.

The focus of public opinion is on the danger of “Nyx” far exceeding that of ordinary poisonous insects.

Combined with the large amount of spider silk in Zheng Yueling’s home in the pictures that have been circulated online, netizens and the media have a terrible guess.

This female college student and reptile anchor of Xingchuan University was most likely killed by the mutant spider she raised!

In this case, it can also explain why other poisonous insects disappeared-they were all swallowed.

For a time, public opinion was in an uproar.

Some people also proposed a conspiracy theory, believing that a powerful person had set his sights on the huge commercial value of "Nyx" and wanted to get it from Zheng Yueling, and took revenge on her after being rejected.

——Of course, this speculation is far-fetched and few people believe it.
