      by Aria — Once those footsteps passed, the entrance door slammed shut with a deafening boom. From that moment until the day Chi Qing left that place, that door never opened again. Xie Lin: "After I got in, I was locked in a room where there was only one other child. The moment he mentioned which school he was from, I knew his name; there were records about him in the case files. I asked him a lot of things, but he was already mentally unstable." The previous roommate had been dragged out and had stopped…

      by Aria — Pushing open the door of this corner Thai amulet shop, the string of Tibetan bells hanging on the glass door collided with the door frame. “Ding-a-ling—” Right in the center of the shop sat an altar, upon which rested a bronze-colored Buddha statue. Thai bronze Buddha statues differ greatly from traditional domestic ones; the top of its head was shaped like a spire pointing straight up, and a piece of ginger-yellow cloth was draped diagonally across its body. One of the statue's hands was in a…

      by Aria — The coldest months of the year have passed, and since the weather warmed up, it hasn't dipped back down. Pedestrians on the streets have slowed their pace, and the greenery along the roadside is gradually reviving, with some plants sprouting tiny green tips. Xie Lin arrived early in the morning with breakfast, habitually entering the password to Chi Qing’s door lock. With a "beep," the lock clicked open. In the entryway, the number of slippers had grown from one pair to two—and both were the same…

      by Aria — Chi Qing had thrown away the pair of soiled gloves long ago. After cleaning his hands, Xie Lin helped him pull down his sleeves again, the overly long sweater cuffs just enough to cover his hands. Chi Qing felt as if the sensation he'd experienced that day when resting his head in the conference room—the sudden rush of buzzing noises in his ears—had returned. The surroundings became quieter, yet noisier. Even the sound of a single drop of water falling from the faucet—drip, drop—was more…

      by Aria — -Guangyuan High School, Grade 11, Class 4, Su Xiaobo. -Dismissal time is 6:30 PM. Thanks, thanks! This was the detailed information sent by Su Xiaolan. Su Xiaolan sent another message: -I will send Consultant Xie’s license plate number to him. You just need to wait in the car; he should be coming out soon. ... The name alone sounded like he was related to Su Xiaolan. By dusk, when the two of them arrived at the school gate, it had just opened. Su Xiaolan had said she would tell her…

      by Aria — Thank you @Renea for the Kofi~ _ For all these years, every psychologist Chi Qing had ever seen had given him advice geared toward a single goal: find ways to have more contact with people. This was the first time anyone had ever told him: Don't touch. If Dr. Wu heard this, he would probably flip his diagnostic files right then and there out of sheer rage. After working so hard to treat him to this point, just as a little progress is finally showing... you're telling him to just stop the…

      by Aria — "Morning," at eight o'clock, at the headquarters. Ji Mingrui climbed the stairs with materials in hand, pushed open the door to a small conference room, and greeted the people inside with infectious enthusiasm. "I've brought all the archived records of the former First year, Class 1. Didn't expect us to be assigned to the same team! Has everyone eaten breakfast? How about we start work after we finish eating?" As he spoke, Ji Mingrui placed the bags of breakfast he was carrying onto the large round…

      by Aria — Shen Xinghe was a year older than Xu Xingzhou. If the information on his student records was accurate, he was currently in his third year of high school. The next day, during the early morning reading period at Guangyuan High School, the head of the third-year tier was taking up the self-study time to review a test paper the students had taken a few days prior. She was suddenly interrupted by several criminal investigators. Standing on the podium, the tier head was at a complete loss: "Excuse me... is…

      by Aria — This was the first time Shen Xinghe had appeared before them like this. This face overlapped perfectly with the one on his student ID photo, and it also merged seamlessly with the silhouette of the person standing at the Guangyuan cafeteria window a few days ago. On the day the news broadcast aired, the cafeteria auntie had been sighing at the small television screen in the dining hall while enthusiastically scooping out food for the students. The hand holding the meal tray at the window moved slightly.…

      by Aria — The story of the former First year, Class 1 seemed quite utterly unremarkable. Aside from a student who committed suicide due to family reasons, a clique of underachievers, and a teacher who detested her students, there was no other information. Closing the notebook in her hands, Su Xiaolan stood up and said, "Thank you for your cooperation. If any leads come up later, please remember to contact us as soon as possible." When the group walked out of the director's office, the First year teaching…
