Chapter 79 The Terrifying Voice

Deng Ziqiu shook his head and said, "No need, I'll just take a break. You guys continue to sort out the ancient books, don't delay the progress because of me."

Xu Guokun frowned and said, "Zi Qiu, how can we let you stay here alone if you are like this? If you want to leave, we leave together. If you want to stay, we stay together."

Deng Ziqiu looked at the determined eyes of the crowd and was deeply moved. He knew that these brothers had already regarded him as one of their own.

"Okay, then I'll take a rest for a while." Deng Ziqiu nodded helplessly.

Everyone helped Deng Ziqiu to the lounge nearby and let him lie down. Liu Mengmeng invited a doctor from the academy to diagnose Deng Ziqiu.

The doctor felt Deng Ziqiu's pulse and said, "This student is physically weak, and has been staying up late lately, which has led to insufficient Qi and blood, which is why he is dizzy. I'll prescribe some Qi-boosting medicine for him, and let him have a good rest, and he should be able to recover."

After hearing what the doctor said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Kang Yining took out some silver and handed it to the doctor, saying, "Sorry to bother you, doctor. This silver is for your consultation fee."

The doctor declined, "No need. I am the doctor of the academy. It is my duty to treat the students. You should keep these silver coins to buy medicine for the students."

Everyone looked at the doctor gratefully and said in unison: "Thank you, doctor."

Deng Ziqiu smiled slightly, trying to reassure everyone, "Thank you for your concern, I am just a little tired, nothing serious. It's just that I can't go with you to the Imperial College Library today."

Kang Yining frowned when he heard this, "Zi Qiu, do you have any unspeakable secrets? We are all classmates, what can't we speak frankly?"

Xu Guokun also looked at Deng Ziqiu in confusion, "Yes, Ziqiu, if you have any troubles, we should face them together."

Hu Jiahong stood quietly by the side, and suddenly said: "Maybe Zi Qiu just needs some time alone. We should give him enough space."

After these words came out, everyone was silent for a moment. They knew that Hu Jiahong was a man of few words, but every word he said hit the nail on the head.

Zhang Anjie patted Deng Ziqiu's shoulder gently and said, "Ziqiu, no matter what difficulties you have, we will support you. If you don't go today, we will also help you complete the task of sorting out the ancient books."

Zou Ting nodded in agreement, "Yes, Ziqiu, you just need to rest assured and don't worry about the affairs of the Imperial College Library."

Liao Zhen looked at Deng Ziqiu, his eyes revealing a hint of determination, "Ziqiu, if you need help, just ask, we are all your brothers."

Deng Ziqiu looked at the crowd, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that the friendship of these classmates was sincere, and their concern made him feel extremely comforted.

"But, Ziqiu, why did you stay up late? Are you worried about something?" Jiang Zhiyu looked at Deng Ziqiu's dark circles.

As soon as Jiang Zhiyu finished speaking, Liu Mengmeng curiously leaned over, her eyes full of confusion: "Yes, Ziqiu, we have never heard of your habit of staying up late, are you in trouble?"

Deng Ziqiu sighed softly, raised his head, and scanned everyone's faces: "Actually, it's not a big deal, but I always hear some strange noises in my dormitory at night recently."

"Strange sound?" Xiao Wen frowned slightly, as if she was trying hard to imagine what that sound would be like.

Qi Zimo asked in confusion: "Then how did you deal with it? Why didn't you tell us earlier, maybe we could help you solve it."

Deng Ziqiu shook his head, a look of helplessness on his face: "At first, I thought I heard it wrong, but it happened for several nights in a row, and I felt something was wrong. I tried to find the source of the sound, but to no avail every time."

Zhang Anjie patted Deng Ziqiu on the shoulder and comforted him, "Ziqiu, don't worry, we will definitely help you find out the truth. After all, this is not the first time that strange things have happened in the academy."

Zou Ting interrupted, "What exactly does that sound sound like?"

Before Zou Ting finished speaking, Liao Zhen interrupted him with a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "Yes, Zi Qiu, can you describe the sound so that we can have a rough judgment."

Deng Ziqiu pondered for a moment and said slowly: "That sound...how should I describe it? It sounded like someone was crying quietly, or someone was whispering. In short, it sounded creepy."

Xu Guokun touched his chin and thought: "It sounds like someone did it on purpose, but who could it be? Our academy has always been peaceful, and such behavior is really puzzling."

Hu Jiahong's eyes widened, and he suddenly thought of something: "By the way, Ziqiu, did you notice the time when the sound appeared? Maybe we can find clues from the time."

Deng Ziqiu nodded. "The sound is usually clearest at midnight and gradually disappears in the early morning. I also tried to look for it at that time, but the academy was silent and I couldn't find anything."

Kang Yining frowned, thinking: "Midnight is when the yin energy is at its heaviest. Could it be that there is something unclean going on?"

Liu Mengmeng's face turned pale and she looked around nervously: "Then...what should we do now?"

Zhang Anjie patted Liu Mengmeng on the shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Mengmeng. With so many of us together, I don't think that thing would dare to show up easily. The most important thing now is to find the source of the sound so that we can solve the problem fundamentally."

Qi Zimo nodded in agreement: "That's right, let's split up and search carefully near the dormitory to see if we can find any clues."

Everyone nodded and decided to split up. Deng Ziqiu led some people to his dormitory, while the rest scattered in other corners of the academy.

As the night deepened, the lights in the academy dimmed. Deng Ziqiu and others carried lanterns and walked carefully in the quiet corridor. Suddenly, a low cry came from a distance, and everyone suddenly became nervous.

"That's the voice!" Deng Ziqiu's face was solemn and he clenched his fists.

Following the direction of the sound, they came to a deserted courtyard. It was overgrown with weeds and looked eerie. They walked in carefully and found that the sound came from deep in the courtyard.

As they approached, the sound became clearer and clearer, as if it was right next to their ears. Suddenly, a figure jumped out of the darkness, startling everyone.

"Who is it?" Zhang Anjie asked vigilantly.

The figure came out tremblingly. It turned out to be a pale, terrified woman. When she saw everyone, she burst into tears and trembled as she said, "Help...Help me, I...I am possessed by a ghost."

Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect to encounter such a situation. Kang Yining stepped forward and asked, "What's your name? Why are you here?"
