Chapter 614: Chapter 614: Searching for the Source of the Song_1
Hearing Captain Sun ntion Director Liu, Qin Sisi turned her gaze towards him. After all, one person’s account of sothing might be tinted with subjective assumptions. Hearing more people’s narratives would bring her closer to the truth.
Director Liu took over the conversation and confird, "Yes, after Captain Sun inford
about the incidence, I took it very seriously. That sa night, I waited in front of the dormitory building with Captain Sun.
Indeed, at midnight, we heard a girl singing.
My first impression was that a female student was singing on a high-rise balcony or rooftop.
However, after sweeping with our flashlights, we found no one; we went to the rooftop together and still found no one.
There’s a door leading to the rooftop which is usually locked. Behind the door, we could hear the singing; but as soon as we unlocked and entered, the singing stopped.
After mulling it over, I felt that this was not a prank. I thought it would be better to have you co over and take a look. After all, if sothing were to happen in a school with so many students, the consequences would be severe."
Qin Sisi pondered for a mont and asked, "Director Liu, has anything happened in that dormitory building before? For instance, did any student die accidentally or sothing of that sort?"
Director Liu hesitated slightly, paused to think, and answered, "A year ago, a girl jumped off that building."
Qin Sisi blinked her eyes. True enough, there had been an incident.
She furthered her questioning, "Do you know why she committed suicide?"
Director Liu sighed heavily and said, "It seems to have been due to relationship problems. Ah, today’s youth are too emotionally fragile."
Qin Sisi felt she had gathered enough information. Asking more questions wouldn’t yield more details. Hence, she said, "That’s how it is. Tonight, you all can take
to that place, and I’ll further assess the situation."
This had been Director Liu’s intention. He nodded in agreent imdiately, saying, "Okay. Please help us look into this matter. If it’s soone playing pranks, let us know. I’ll be sure to strictly punish that student. If it indeed is... well, we’ll have to rely on you to handle it."
Qin Sisi nodded and said, "Don’t worry, Director Liu, I’ll do my utmost best."
With that, plans having been set, Director Liu took Qin Sisi and Captain Sun out for dinner.
Director Liu ordered so quite expensive dishes. Qin Sisi hadn’t heard of any of them before, but they tasted excellent.
After dinner, Director Liu arranged a room for Qin Sisi, asking her to rest for a bit until it was ti.
Qin Sisi agreed and was led by soone to the room prepared for her.
Once the arrangents were made, that person left, and the room fell silent.
Qin Sisi locked the door and put Ye You on the bed and whispered,"I think we stand a chance in this case, what do you think?"
Ye You let out a light chuckle and replied: "If their story is true, there’s indeed a high possibility that a ghost is involved."
Qin Sisi cocked an eyebrow, asking, "They don’t seem to have a reason to lie, right?"
Ye You gave a slight nod, "Right. Don’t overthink it. Let’s check it out tonight, and everything will beco clear."
"Okay." Qin Sisi stood up, "I’m not sleepy now. I want to practice the Water Binding Skill."
Ye You peered at her with a profound gaze. He took the Tilting Doll out from the Portable Space, placed it on the ground, and gave it a gentle push, causing it to hilariously wobble back and forth.
Qin Sisi gave a faint smile at Ye You, then quickly focused her mind to practice her Magic skill.
While doing so, Ye You raised his paw and set up a barrier for her.
This barrier was not to prevent her from damaging the room, but to keep the sounds inside from leaking out. After all, they were on soone else’s turf and needed to be as cautious as possible.
At 11 o’clock in the evening, Director Liu knocked on Qin Sisi’s door.
"Let’s go!" Director Liu muttered in a low voice.
Without using many words, Qin Sisi could tell from his solemn expression how he was feeling.
In the end, he was just an ordinary person and felt fearful of such occurrences.
Waiting for them at the entrance of the office building were Captain Sun and a few security guys whispering among themselves. When they saw Director Liu and Qin Sisi coming, they stopped their conversation. They looked at Qin Sisi with quirky and curious eyes.
Qin Sisi could comprehend their gazes. They were probably aware of her profession and her purpose for the night, but they didn’t trust she possessed the ability.
Qin Sisi didn’t bother to explain anything to them. Instead, she spoke to Captain Sun, saying, "Please lead the way," and then calmly followed him.
Under the guidance of Captain Sun, they arrived in front of the dormitory building that was known for its eerie singing.
It wasn’t yet midnight and they all waited silently in the dark shadow by the side of the building.
Everyone else was tense and uneasy, continuously scanning their surroundings. Even the typically composed Director Liu was feeling restless.
Qin Sisi, however, stood calmly leaning against the building wall, gently stroking the soft back of the black kitty.
Ti passed by slowly, and the deepest hour of the night, which was shrouded by anticipation and terror, finally arrived.
Suddenly, yet seemingly after a long build-up, they heard the strange singing they had ntioned before. It felt like faint strands of mysterious and hazy moonlight pouring down from above their heads.
"Your smiling eyes encourage ,
helping
see the bright sky more clearly,
Your whisper of love gives
courage,
singing out the lody of all the joy and sorrow,
expressing emotions of every season... "
The singing was lodious and cheerful, indeed reminiscent of a young girl in her pri, unknowing of sadness and worries, singing about her feelings, dreams, future, and eternal love during the quiet deep of the night.
Undisturbed, she continued to sing as if she would never tire.
Director Liu and the others stood still, not daring to move.
Eventually, Director Liu rembered to remind Qin Sisi to go and take a look.
However, when he turned to talk to Qin Sisi, he found that she had already disappeared.
"Sisi? Where’s Sisi?" Director Liu asked the security guards in a hushed tone.
The security guards all shook their heads indicating they didn’t see where Qin Sisi went; after all, they had been paying attention to the singing!
Director Liu was imdiately concerned. How co the ’General’ was missing even before the ordeal had begun?
Upon second thought, Director Liu cald down. Since Qin Sisi was indeed an extraordinary person, she might not want others to see her real powers. She probably went to et the one singing all by herself.
With experience indeed cos wisdom. Director Liu’s supposition was absolutely correct.
At this mont, Qin Sisi was already hidden by Ye You’s invisibility bubble and was flying with the Wings of Rainbow towards the rooftop of the dormitory building, seeking the source of that singing.
