The devil affectionately calls me a bad guy

Shen Mengxin straightened up slowly.

Indeed, there was only so much intelligence available, and their investigation had reached a bottleneck. The result of their continued efforts was what it was now, with two more "corpses" whose brain cells had been burned in vain. The only way to break the impasse was to let a guy with no emotional intelligence do something that would open the other person's wounds and rub salt into them.

The person who is most suitable and most capable of doing this kind of thing is Li Lin.

After holding it in for a while, Shen Mengxin exhaled heavily with an extremely complicated expression.

"If you say that, I will feel even more guilty. And then you will use this guilt to ask me for all kinds of things that I would never agree to under normal circumstances."

"That's right~"

Li Lin did not hesitate at all and admitted his purpose quite straightforwardly.

He is the object of the seven love letters. The only way for him to survive and live a peaceful life in the future is to find out the owners of the love letters one by one, find out the cause of their death, and then meet their demands.

If it was an accidental death, it would be fine, just like in a third-rate ghost movie, taking the other person to meet the dead, and the person this love letter was originally given to will return to dust. But if it was like Lu Qin's, where it was not such an accidental [death]... then it would be like an orthodox ghost movie.

However, he would not fight wits and courage with the female ghost like the male protagonists in those ghost movies. He would only collude with the female ghost to cheat those people.

"Well, if you're still the same bastard as always, I won't feel any guilt. Let's get going quickly," Shen Mengxin raised her eyes, "and..."

Shen Mengxin paused and turned her face away.

"be careful."

Li Lin's eyes widened slightly, and then he revealed a malicious smile.

"Senior, please give me a kiss!"

"Go to hell!"

Chapter 209: A Family Photo That Makes Your Sanity Value Drop

A love letter is a letter used to express the sincere feelings in one's heart.

Li Lin does not believe in so-called love letters, because the delivery of love letters is common in junior high and high schools, and the sincere friendship in the hearts of junior high and high school students is really written as sincere friendship, and read as sexual impulse brought about by physical development.

Love at first sight comes from the other person's appearance and figure. Because the other person is fair-skinned and beautiful, one approaches the other person under the sexual impulse brought about by physical development, which leads to the emotion of writing "I like you", which can be read as "I want to sleep with you".

If you think about it carefully, how can middle school and high school students have the time to date and further enhance their relationship? The result is that they are eager to taste the forbidden fruit and leave a lot of problems. Minors do not have the ability to take responsibility, and the result is that both families are worried.

When you reach an age where you can take responsibility, you understand everything and won’t do things like sending love letters.

So now the question arises.

"Why do contemporary female college students send love letters?" Li Lin looked at the report in his hand with an extremely subtle expression, "Or alumni or something..."

Hua Tiantian, 20 years old, college student, majoring in fine arts, should have been his senior, but unfortunately time stopped at the age of 20. Of course, just like Lu Qin at that time, no one knew where it stopped, as if she had suddenly disappeared from this world, and no matter how the police searched, they could not find any trace of her.

"How shameful," Li Lin took out love letters from his waist bag and exchanged them one by one, finally stopping at a love letter with a very artistic style.

He was quite impressed by this love letter. Other love letters used words to express twisted and morbid love, but this letter was very unique.

Li Lin used his fingers to open the envelope and poured out the love letter.

This is a love letter that uses painting to express love. The mother, father, and the child who is about to be born, a warm family of three, probably want to tell each other that they want to build a beautiful and warm family with each other, but this color...

"Lu Qin, can we ask Hua Tiantian to come out and explain this letter?" Li Lin tapped the extremely weird and scary family portrait constructed of red and black with his fingers.

The young child stretches out his hands to his parents, as if asking for a hug, but under the construction of black and red, it seems more like he wants to take his parents' lives. Whether it is the parents or the child in the painting, the eyes are all pitch black, but if you look closely, you can see twisted lines in them.

This is no longer the level of yandere, it can only be described as insane.

He still had the courage to accept Lu Qin's love letter. After all, a scumbag's courage would grow infinitely when faced with beauty. However, he would definitely not accept this love letter that would cause a person's sanity to plummet, at least... before he was sure that the other person's appearance was really worth the risk.

"I'm sorry, among the remaining six people, only Hua Tiantian is special. She exists, but we can't communicate with her at all, and..." Lu Qin paused and raised her hand to scratch her face, "She is the only one who has no ill will towards you."

……

Li Lin felt a chill and subconsciously stood in a sunny place.

This was something worth being happy about. One of the seven troublesome female ghosts had no ill will towards him. In other words, he could get away as long as he met the requirements of the remaining six female ghosts. Although the difficulty was still hellish, it was better after all. However...

But he felt even more creepy. Since she had no ill will towards him... why was she still pestering him?

Moreover, the absence of malice does not mean the absence of other emotions, especially this family photo that makes one's sanity plummet.

"are you happy?"

"Hahaha - I'll go ask the teacher I know."

Li Lin laughed perfunctorily a few times and quickened his pace.

-

"Hua Tiantian?" The middle-aged man put down his pen and looked at Li Lin, who was sighing cautiously, with a subtle expression. "By the way, Li Lin, is this what you came to school for during the summer vacation?"

"That's because I thought you would be here, teacher," Li Lin smiled awkwardly.

The man's name is Jiang Bo, a math teacher who is almost 40 years old. He is nicknamed the Chief of the Four Famous Detectives. No one can cheat in the exam as long as he is present. He is also very strict and serious in class. He will stay in school even during the summer vacation to tinker with some academic problems.

Teacher Jiang is also one of the reasons why he studies hard.

His creed has always been that he will study as hard as his teacher teaches.

"Don't stand at the door, come in, come in," Jiang Bo sighed and adjusted his glasses, "The air conditioner is on in here."

“Uh-oh—”

Li Lin nodded quickly, walked into the office, closed the door gently, and sat on the chair very obediently. Lu Qin's expression was a little subtle. He had always thought that Li Lin's sunny boyish face was used to deceive girls, but now it seems... it is really deceptive!

"Student Li Lin, why are you suddenly asking about student Hua Tiantian?" Jiang Bo closed the report.

"Yeah - I just remembered something worrying," Li Lin scratched his face, avoiding eyes.

He accidentally got Hua Tiantian's love letter, and then accidentally entered a horror movie. Even if he told this story, the materialistic teacher in front of him would probably not believe it, and might even think he was joking.

However, as he expected, Jiang Bo was not angry because of his evasive eye contact. Instead, he reached out and patted his shoulder with a look of regret on his face.

Jiang Bo's expression of "You don't need to say it, I understand" made Li Lin's heart skip a beat. It was as if he was saying that he and Hua Tiantian knew each other and even had a close relationship, but his image in school was that of an autistic boy. Others didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't know what happened in the school. He only found out about such a person as Hua Tiantian today.

"I know about classmate Li Lin. It's a pity," Jiang Bo sighed deeply and patted Li Lin's shoulder in a comforting way. "Don't take it too seriously. It's a long time late."

Li Lin swallowed hard, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. Lu Qin, who was standing aside, also frowned.

She believed that Li Lin would not lie. He pretended not to know Hua Tiantian even though he knew her. However, Jiang Bo's expression clearly showed that he was serious.

"Uh - Teacher, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand," Li Lin's expression was extremely stiff.

"Hmm? Aren't you and Hua Tiantian a couple?"

Li Lin slowly opened his eyes, feeling a sense of being watched. Almost subconsciously, he raised his head and looked towards the window.

This is the Mathematics and Physics Building. Opposite the Mathematics and Physics Building is the Fine Arts Building. Opposite the window of this office is an art classroom. The curtains are fluttering, and there is a figure there.

Chapter 210: Too many buffs

Things started to go wrong.

Li Lin's legs began to shake uncontrollably.

One of the reasons why he remained calm in the face of supernatural phenomena was that he was not the first person involved in the incident. He did not know the deceased and the deceased did not know him. No matter how tragically the other person died, it had nothing to do with him. Although he would still be targeted, he would not be completely unable to extricate himself.

But Jiang Bo's words, "Aren't you a couple?", made him feel disappointed.

Regardless of whether he and Hua Tiantian are a couple or not, he cannot escape the fact that he is the first person involved, which means that he does not have the option of withdrawing.

Li Lin raised his right hand tremblingly and began his final dying struggle.

"Teacher, why do you think Hua Tiantian and I are a couple?"

"Don't pretend, we teachers all know it," Jiang Bo pinched Li Lin's shoulder.

"The teachers are all..."

Lu Qin tilted her head, her face full of question marks.

She believed that Li Lin did not know Hua Tiantian, otherwise he would not have shown such an unbelievable expression. But Jiang Bo was a teacher, an adult and a highly respected teacher. Naturally, he would only make such a conclusion after confirming the facts.

"We all saw it. Every time, Hua Tiantian would stand in front of that window and look at you," Jiang Bo raised his hand and pointed to the window of the art classroom in the art department building directly opposite the window.

The corner of Li Lin's mouth twitched fiercely.

The figure I just saw is gone.

Damn it!

He was sure that what he had just seen was definitely not an illusion.

"Although you hid it very well, the teacher's eyes are sharp," Jiang Bo leaned against the backrest with his arms folded across his chest.

Li Lin swallowed hard and shook his head inwardly.

No no no, teacher, your eyes are definitely blind this time!

"However, we also know why you are so strict and look like passers-by. Hua Tiantian, it's really a pity," Jiang Bo exhaled, and there was a hint of regret in his tone, "I can only say that God is jealous of talented people."

Li Lin leaned back slightly.

Although he did not believe that there was such a thing as a flag in this world, he had to admit that there really was such a thing as a buff in this world.

People die every day, but not everyone can become a self-aware ghost. This kind of place really does have the so-called buff.

For example, Ying Su, who is a loner, has an amazing talent in design; Irene Aige, who is a loner, has an unparalleled talent in writing.

Having talent in art means unique thinking, and being alone will cause this unusual thinking to grow and spread explosively, and eventually it will evolve to the point where the body becomes a restriction. Death, on the contrary, becomes a kind of liberation. After becoming a ghost, a concentrated form of consciousness that cannot be explained by science, the mind is completely liberated, completely immersed in the pleasure of liberation, and the moral shackles are completely removed.

The most prominent representative is Irene Eyge, who, in order to satisfy her own creative desire, disregards human life and does whatever she wants.

So he is very panicked now. Jiang Bo said what a pity and God is jealous of talented people, and directly gave Hua Tiantian two powerful buffs.

"Uh... Teacher, is that art classroom still in use?" Li Lin stood up somewhat uncomfortably.

Jiang Bo was stunned at first, then he revealed an expression of sudden enlightenment. He opened the drawer and slapped a card on Li Lin's hand. "Hua Tiantian made a lot of contributions to our school before she disappeared, so the art classroom that Hua Tiantian usually used has not been used anymore. It's full of her works. This should be able to open the door."

Li Lin's hands were shaking a little.

The classroom that was often used after death is no longer used, and all the works are sealed in the classroom. Another dangerous buff has been added.

"The teacher won't ask too many questions about your affairs. There won't be many people in the school during the summer vacation, but don't stay there too late."

Jiang Bo's concerned voice kept echoing in Li Lin's ears. Li Lin left the office in a daze, left the building of the School of Mathematics and Physics and walked into the building of the Department of Fine Arts.

The works that usually look stunning in the aisle now appear extremely terrifying in the strange environment of darkness and silence. The pairs of eyes painted with paint seem to follow people.

By the time Li Lin reacted, he was already standing in front of the sealed art classroom. Unlike other art classrooms, this one used an electronic lock that could only be opened with a teacher's employee card.

"Aren't you going in?" Lu Qin poked her head out from the side.

As a female ghost, she could easily walk through the door in front of her, but she always had a chilling feeling that this door had to be opened by Li Lin himself, and if it was not opened by Li Lin, something bad would happen.

"Well - I think I need to prepare myself mentally," Li Lin held Jiang Bo's employee card in his hand, his face full of confusion.

"Why are you so cowardly!"

Li Lin's hesitation made Lu Qin even more annoyed.

"A scumbag like you suddenly found out that there's a talented girl who has always liked you and the other teachers assume you're a couple. Shouldn't you be so excited that you turn into an electric motor?"

"I think you seem to have misunderstood something," Li Lin said with a stiff expression, holding the employee card in his hand. "First of all, Hua Tiantian doesn't like me, but she stands at the window of this classroom every day and watches me pass by, and I never knew about this."

Lu Qin's expression froze.

The flow direction began to change.

"And most importantly...if she really likes me, but has no way to express her love to me and can only stand in front of this window and look at me every day, why is she now..." Li Lin turned towards Lu Qin with a stiff head like a rusty robot, "no reaction at all. Now I know, shouldn't she be happy to come out and tell me about the emotions she has suppressed in her heart?"

Lu Qin opened her eyes wide, and her pupils shrank to the extreme in an instant. She felt a chill, not the chill of realizing some terrible fact, but the chill of something extremely ominous and abnormal mixed into her body.

Although she didn't even have a body, Lu Qin subconsciously covered her mouth and wanted to vomit.

"Student Lu Qin, my legs are a little weak."

"Stop talking nonsense! Do you think you can leave now?" Lu Qin's face was pale as she stretched out her hand and pushed Li Lin's back. "If you are a man, open the door quickly and face this bleak fact!"

"Damn it!!! Duolu!"

Li Lin gritted his teeth and waved out the employee card using the most standard Yu-Gi-Oh card-drawing posture.

"Di-"

The electronic lock was unlocked and the blocked door slowly opened.
