Having devoted myself to guiding souls, I was surrounded by them after my death.

"Stop scaring people. I'm tired of hearing these ghost stories. What about the ghost senior suddenly appearing? Don't make jokes like that next time."

The senior student said the exact same thing as before, then turned and walked towards the swimming pool.

Chen Shi watched his retreating figure, his hand still trembling as he placed it on his chest.

Bad news, Xin's premonition was right, he is dead.

Good news...

His death was reversed.

Chapter 2 Drowned Spirit

It wasn't a dream; it was a real death rewind.

Chen Shi touched his chest, the tearing pain from not long ago seeping deep into his bones. The real feeling of death enveloped him, telling him that everything that had just happened was real.

The cause of death was that anatomical model.

No, mannequins don't move on their own.

To be precise, it was a malevolent spirit that was attached to a human mannequin.

There really was a malevolent spirit in the swimming pool, and unlike ordinary spirits, this one was very good at hiding and could even attach itself to a mannequin.

No wonder I couldn't see anything when I went to the swimming pool before because of my psychic abilities.

Chen Shi quickly sorted out the current situation in his mind.

Watching his senior's retreating figure, he didn't immediately follow.

Now, he has two choices.

First, stay as far away from the swimming pool as possible. Since the cause of death has been found, stay away from it.

This is the safest option.

There is another option...

They went to the swimming pool to try and deal with the evil spirit.

From that day on, his goal was clear: to find and eliminate the three malevolent spirits. But so far, he has been trying to deal with ordinary, non-aggressive spirits without finding a way to eliminate them; he has essentially been stuck in the same place.

But things are different now.

Now that he has the ability to rewind time, he can be more daring in his attempts and mistakes. If he can resolve the vengeful spirit in the swimming pool, he can say he'll have taken a giant leap toward his goal.

Moreover, if left unattended, others will inevitably be killed.

Having learned from his previous experience, Chen Shi really didn't want more people to die at the hands of evil spirits.

After a brief moment of thought, Chen Shi made up his mind to face the danger head-on and try to resolve the evil spirit.

However, he cannot charge forward blindly, since he does not yet know if there will be any side effects from the death reversal.

"Senior."

He followed and patted his senior on the shoulder.

"What's wrong?" the senior asked, turning his head.

"Could you tell me more about Senior Su Yining? I'm a little curious."

Before he died, Chen Shi witnessed Su Yining's hot figure rushing into the swimming pool and kicking the mannequin away.

Clearly, Su Yining already knew something, and perhaps she could start by targeting her.

"Su Yining? Why are you still talking about this?" The senior student clearly didn't want to discuss this matter.

"Well, I've recently become obsessed with supernatural novels, and I'm really interested in these kinds of campus ghost stories and strange tales."

Seeing that his senior was about to refuse, Chen Shi immediately raised his finger:

Two dinners.

Unfortunately, he gave far too much.

"Sigh, I really don't want to talk about this."

Upon hearing that there were benefits, the senior student acted like an NPC with an exclamation mark above his head, triggering a memory entry:

"That was three years ago. I was a freshman then, and Su Yining was a junior. She was a very popular figure at our school, the undisputed campus beauty. It's no exaggeration to say that the line of boys who wanted to date her could stretch from the cafeteria to the school gate."

"Moreover, Su Yining has a cheerful and enthusiastic personality, which unintentionally gave the boys around her the illusion that 'she treats me well, so I have a chance,' and many people confidently confessed their feelings to her, but without exception, they were all rejected."

Hearing this, Chen Shi thought to himself: She's similar to Su Yining, whom I met—hot, flamboyant, and a bit too familiar with people.

It just didn't mention that she was also quite talkative about the accelerator.

Meanwhile, the senior student was still recalling:

"But even so, she is still very popular."

At this point, he sighed heavily:

"However, one day, Su Yining suddenly disappeared. Without any warning, she never came to school again. A hot school beauty like her, boys would wander around the campus every day hoping to bump into her, so her disappearance was discovered very quickly."

"Just when everyone was wondering, a dismemberment case suddenly broke on the news. It only said that the victim was a woman and did not mention her name, but because the timing was just right, everyone thought that the person was Su Yining."

“Since then, Su Yining has never come to school again, and she doesn’t even reply to messages from her best friend. It’s obvious what happened.”

The senior looked bitter:

"Back then, I was full of youthful vigor and wanted to pursue her, but in the end, I was just cannon fodder..."

Seeing that the dialogue between the senior NPC was about to shift from "Su Yining" to "lost youth," Chen Shi quickly called a halt, waving his hand and saying:

"Senior, do you know anything about that case that's been circulating at the swimming pool?"

He showered him with compliments:

"The senior student is experienced, knows a lot about the school, and has a wide social circle. He must know something, right?"

The senior student seemed to fall for it, thinking to himself, "Has this kid become so obsessed with strange and eerie tales lately?" His thoughts then shifted from "lost youth" to an accident at the swimming pool a few years ago:

"That was about two years ago. The swimming pool was under renovation at the time. A freshman, I don't know if he was heartbroken or lost a bet, sneaked into the swimming pool alone in the middle of the night. When he was found the next day, he had already drowned in the deep end."

"Some people say that the water was too cold at night, and he didn't warm up and got cramps. Plus, no one was watching him, so the accident happened."

The senior student sighed as he spoke:

"Hey, back when Su Yining was taking her elective swimming class, the entrance was packed with people. I was inside too, thinking I'd get a chance to hand her a towel. But after Su Yining finished swimming, she tossed her long hair, draped a bright red blanket over herself, and without even looking at the entrance, she dashed off in a flash..."

"I wonder what kind of hot girl she likes. It's a mystery now."

Just as the senior was about to move on to the "lost youth" segment, Chen Shi immediately stopped him:

"Oh right, senior, I suddenly remembered that I made plans to play video games this afternoon. You can ask other club members about moving things."

"Inviting someone to play video games... You actually have friends?"

The senior student asked the question from the bottom of his heart. In his memory, this junior student seemed to always be alone, and his activity points were all over the campus. That's why he asked him to come and help move things.

Upon hearing this, Chen Shi rolled his eyes inwardly: Senior, you're being a bit presumptuous. I don't have the sorrow of blood, it's just that others may not be able to keep up with my spiritual level.

Without lingering, he left his senior alone to reminisce about his lost youth and began running through every corner of the campus.

Based on her experiences before her death, Su Yining spent at least half an hour moving miscellaneous items before finally reaching the swimming pool. At that time, she should still be wandering around the campus.

To get more information about the swimming pool ghost, you need to find that hot female senior first.

However, after searching for a long time, Chen Shi still couldn't find Su Yining.

He was confident that if a sexy and attractive female senior from his senior class came into his sight, he would definitely not miss the opportunity.

As expected of the Ghost Senior, she comes and goes without a trace, making it no easy task to find her.

"Does this mean I have to go to the swimming pool alone and try to rewind through death? But I'm not sure if this rewind will have any side effects, or if it's unlimited."

Chen Shi clenched his fist, still wanting to be cautious. But if he really couldn't find Su Yining, he was prepared to face the evil spirit alone.

As he was pacing down the corridor, a conversation suddenly broke out:

"Jiang Liu, what brings you back to school today?"

Chen Shi looked in the direction of the voice and saw an elderly man with a receding hairline. He recognized him; he was the dean of their institute, surnamed Wang.

Standing next to Dean Wang was a woman.

The woman was tall and slender, wearing a dark purple short jacket that revealed her abs and navel, a slit pencil skirt, and short leather boots. Her long, black hair was neatly tied into a high ponytail, revealing her fair neck.

Her eyes were upturned at the corners, with a touch of vibrant blush. Her face was bright and charming, yet her temperament was not overpowering, exuding the intellectual allure of a mature woman.

If Dean Wang wasn't talking to some unseen ghost alumnus, then this beautiful woman must be the "Jiang Liu" he was referring to.

"Today I went to a student's home to teach piano, and on my way back I happened to pass by the school, so I thought I'd come back and take a look, after all, NTU is my alma mater."

Jiang Liu straddled her long legs, her white legs rounded out. Although she was talking to the principal, her eyes kept glancing around.

She was carrying a black guitar case, and her arms were slender and fair.

Such a beautiful woman walking on campus was bound to attract a lot of attention. Chen Shi glanced at her curiously a few times, but didn't pay much attention, after all, he had more important things to do.

"I can't believe that little girl from back then is now a music teacher and even owns her own music store," Dean Wang exclaimed.

"You flatter me."

Jiang Liu smiled, her lips slightly parted. She wore light makeup, her lips were rosy and sexy, and the corners of her mouth were curved.

However, she still didn't look at Dean Wang, her gaze sweeping back and forth across the campus as if she were observing something.

"Jiang Liu, you're now one of our distinguished alumni! You've really blossomed into a beautiful young woman. I remember when I suddenly received the news that you had jumped into the river, oh my, I was so scared! Luckily, you were rescued..."

Dean Wang spoke too quickly, and only after he finished speaking did he pat his mouth:

“Hey, look at my mouth, I always bring up those old stories.”

"It's okay, it's all in the past. We were immature when we were young."

Jiang Liu was very elegant, with an intellectual air about her, and her figure was perfectly displayed in the sunlight.

Suddenly, she turned her head and met Chen Shi's gaze.

Jiang Liu didn't speak, but suddenly stopped, her boot heels hitting the ground with a "thud".

She narrowed her eyes slightly, her dark pupils reflecting Chen Shi's figure.

"Hmm?" Chen Shi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and a chill inexplicably rose up from his back.

Strange, why do I feel a chill down my spine when I'm being stared at by a beautiful woman?

Just as Chen Shi was wondering, Jiang Liu suddenly strode over, leaned slightly towards him, and her full breasts swayed gently.

"Excuse me, do you... want to learn the piano?"

Jiang Liu smiled gently, her smile warm and her face sexy.

"Learn the piano?"

Chen Shi was completely bewildered; it turns out he was just there to sell something?

He just died once and is busy figuring out how to deal with the evil spirit. Wouldn't it be disruptive for him to come here and promote this?

Before he could answer, Jiang Liu shoved a business card into his hand, which read: "Jiang Lingqin Shop".

"This is my business card. I see your fingers are slender and long, you have a good aptitude for learning the piano. If you're interested, remember to call me."

Jiang Liu smiled slightly, leaving behind a smile that could unconsciously charm countless teenage boys, before leaving in her high heels.

"Dean Wang, where were we?"

In the corridor, only Chen Shi remained, immersed in the envious gazes of countless male classmates.

Another weirdo...

What's going on today? First, there was the ghostly hot senior, and then there was the music school alumnus who inexplicably tried to sell her music.

Chen Shi glanced at Jiang Liu's business card, casually stuffed it into his pocket, and decided to go to the swimming pool alone.

We can't delay any longer. Since we can't find Su Yining, we can only wait for her to come over on her own.

Based on her experiences before her death, Su Yining would go to the swimming pool alone.
