Chapter 974 Meng Jixi, White Snake and Lovers

"Huh? Oh."

Meng Jixi looked at the place where Master Xiao was looking just now, and repeated every word that Master Xiao had just said in his mind.

There is a vague feeling of understanding.

"Master Xiao."

Seeing that Master Xiao showed no sign of explaining himself, Meng Jixi couldn't help but speak up.

"Those students didn't commit suicide? They were murdered?"

"It was suicide."

Xiao Xiao's answer stunned Meng Jixi, "Huh?"

"They were the first to have the idea of ​​committing suicide."

The Hanged Ghost would only approach people who wanted to die and pester them, "and then be discovered by those with bad intentions and take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in."

It will watch them die.

When they hesitate, it will give them a push without hesitation.

"However, the original idea was most likely just an impulse."

“Maybe that was serious at that moment.”

"But when that moment passes, they lose the courage to commit suicide."

"They may even wonder how they could have had such a terrible thought in the first place."

"However, the unauthorized intervention of external forces deprived them of the opportunity to regret."

"They didn't have time to cool down their turbulent emotions before they were instigated to hang themselves."

Meng Jixi was silent.

Did you have thoughts of committing suicide?
……

This is what they call a difference of one thought, right?

If they had strong wills, they would be like Ye Xiaomeng and would not be bewitched by external things and end their lives so easily.

……

"That... evil-minded person-"

"Is it a hanged ghost...?"

Meng Jixi asked hesitantly. Thinking of the way the students committed suicide, he roughly understood the meaning of the other party's name.

"Well, it's commonly known as a hanged ghost."

Master Xiao's next words confirmed his guess.

"Hanged ghost, hanged ghost..."

He repeated the name several times in a low voice.

Even though I had guessed it was a non-human, the legendary hanged ghost actually existed?!
He needs some time to accept this fact.

……

However, he suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Xiao, "Master Xiao, you are really sharp."

From the beginning, I noticed that it was strange that the students all chose to commit suicide by hanging.

……

He couldn't help but clench his hands into fists at his sides.

This should be his area of ​​expertise.

Master Xiao is very capable, but he is neither a policeman nor a detective.

As someone who has aspired to be an excellent policeman since he was a child and has worked hard to achieve this goal, he is also proud and confident in his profession.

This incident really hit him hard.

The fact that unnatural creatures were involved was no excuse for him to console himself.

He had not noticed anything was wrong until Master Xiao raised this question.

It was so careless.

"Master Xiao, that hanged ghost..."

"Naturally, he received the punishment he deserved."

Xiao Xiao brushed it off lightly and then changed the subject, "Want to eat?"

Now that we are out, it is natural to have lunch before going back to school.

"Huh? Hmm."

Meng Jixi loosened his clenched fists and temporarily put aside his thoughts on "deserved punishment". "I know a restaurant nearby that tastes good."

"Master Xiao, I'm sorry to bother you again. I'll treat you."

He did not continue to ask what the hanged ghost's fate was.

Even though Master Xiao's words were vague, he had almost guessed the ending of the hanged ghost.

Not hard to guess, is it?

Although Master Xiao said that those students were the first to think of committing suicide, and the hanged ghost only played a role in fueling the flames, the already shaky balance fell completely into the abyss of death because of the last straw.

The hanged man was the last straw that broke the camel's back, breaking down the students' fragile hesitation and forcing them to make not very rational decisions under urgent pressure.

Hanging ghosts is a heinous crime.

I hope that the punishment it deserves can bring comfort to the four young lives lost.

They were forced to make such an important decision not out of their own will. I wonder if these students will regret it when they come to their senses?
Well, what's there to regret now that the person is dead?

So, why are today's students so fragile? They will really do what the other person wants just because someone says a few words to them.

How can this be done?

……

"Master Xiao, thank you so much today."

"Now that I have found the guy hiding in the dark, I feel much better."

Meng Jixi's expression was bright.

The lives lost cannot be brought back.

But at least they can avoid leaving in confusion, which is something a stranger can do.

……

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"Goodbye."

"Master Xiao, goodbye."

……

"What a serious human being."

Walking on the campus, the little white fox spoke lazily, with his eyes half open and half closed.

The Hanged Ghost bears a great responsibility in these student suicides.

But it’s not that big actually.

Because first of all there is a premise, the hanged ghost approaches students who already have suicidal thoughts.

Even if there were no hanged ghosts, they would most likely commit suicide.

It just might not be that fast.

……

"Ah."

Just because of a little discomfort in his heart, Meng Jixi never gave up on finding out the truth of the incident.

Finally, I turned to him for help.

He still remembered Meng Jixi's suspicion and disapproval of him when they first met.

Because of subsequent events, he changed his views and made further use of his abilities.

"He'll be an excellent police officer."

"Hiss~ With Lord Xiao Xiao helping him, he is naturally powerful."

The white snake raised its head slightly.

The tip of the tail swung left and right a few times.

Xiao Xiao chuckled and shook his head.

Just as I was about to say something, I heard a low cry from the side.

Turning around, I saw that they should be a couple.

The girl held the boy's arm with one hand and covered her mouth with the other.

The eyes above were looking at his wrist with gleaming eyes.

Noticing Xiao Xiao's gaze, the girl put down her hand that was covering her mouth and pulled the boy next to her over.

"What a beautiful snake!"

"Can I see it?"

Normally, because the white snake never moves, almost everyone who sees it will think it is a white jade bracelet.

Although I think she's pretty, I won't approach her to talk to her.

However, when the bracelet becomes a living thing, the situation is different.

Just now, the white snake raised its head and wagged its tail, and anyone could tell that it was a snake.

Xiao Xiao raised his wrist so that the girl could see it more closely.

"of course."

The white snake raised its upper body elegantly, with its head slightly tilted, revealing a bit of nonchalance.

However, its extremely high appearance makes its every move extremely charming.

The casual movements made the tiny silver scales on his body sparkle in the sunlight, almost dazzling the girl's eyes.
