The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 681

Chapter 681: Chapter 681: The Ninth Person

It was almost twelve noon.

Adam Jennings and Scarlett Jennings wandered around a few places in the school. Seeing that everything in the academy was as usual, Adam suggested they go to the cafeteria for lunch.

As soon as Scarlett heard "cafeteria," memories of the Taoism Academy’s meals flashed through her mind, and she sternly refused immediately,

"I’ve ordered takeout."

Having interacted with her for nearly half a year, Adam somewhat understood her temperament. Suddenly, he said,

"Are you afraid of eating in the cafeteria?"

Seeing Scarlett look at him expressionlessly, Adam rarely had a feeling of regaining control here.

"Don’t worry, our school’s cafeteria is famously clean and delicious."

After pausing, he added, "It’s different from the cafeteria at the Taoism Academy."

The fact that the Sea City Taoist Academy’s cafeteria food was terrible had been broadcasted online. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Sensing that Adam probably wouldn’t have the guts to fool her, Scarlett followed along.

On the way, she specifically invited Elias Quinn to join them.

Adam: ...

He was treating someone to a meal, so why should this person be called along?

Although he humphhed to himself, he didn’t show it on his face.

Elias, who had been following them all morning, naturally agreed, and the three ordered stir-fried dishes. While waiting for the food, Elias asked Scarlett about the places they had visited that morning.

Scarlett didn’t hide anything, simply saying,

"Incidents of collective suicide are usually divided into voluntary and involuntary."

"In modern society, it’s almost impossible for a group of people to voluntarily commit suicide, so the involuntary possibility is greater."

Involuntary suicides are usually influenced by external factors.

Possession by evil, influence of a resentment array, just like the abandoned teaching building influenced by the Resentful Bone, where the students who died one after another were driven by resentful energy to take their own lives.

This morning, the places Scarlett visited were to investigate this level of the problem.

From the results:

Sea University’s geomancy was not exceptional, but its overall layout was open, with an atmosphere of integrity and enlightenment that encouraged learning.

Apart from any evil techniques, that left some pseudo-scientific methods.

Such as, collective hypnosis.

...

Male dormitory building.

Heath York was a computer science student in the Class of 2022.

With no classes this morning, he and his two roommates slept until past ten, played some games, and then ordered takeout.

Casually placing the lid smeared with red oil aside, it ended up on top of a book on the table.

A roommate couldn’t help but say, "Once Elias comes back and sees this, he’ll be upset with you again."

Heath sneered, "I’m supposed to be scared of him?"

With a mocking smirk, he nonchalantly picked up his chopsticks and slurped up his noodles.

Seeing this, the other two roommates didn’t bother and proceeded to eat their own takeout.

Suddenly, it seemed like Heath’s throat was choked. He dropped his chopsticks and started spitting out noodles.

The two roommates initially thought he was momentarily choking, but his complexion began to turn red, and he seemed to have difficulty breathing, letting out heaving noises.

Trying various methods but to no avail, the two roommates became anxious.

"To the infirmary!"

Hearing this, Heath seemed to grasp a lifesaving password, immediately stood up, clutching his neck, and quickly walked out.

Their dormitory building was a quadrangle-shaped structure, with the hallway surrounded by railings immediately outside the dorm room door.

Unsettled, the two roommates followed him outside.

In the moment it took to lock the door, they saw Heath, as if he were possessed, suddenly push away the roommate supporting him, climbed over the railing, and indiscriminately jumped down.

The two roommates didn’t even have time to react until they heard screams from below.

They turned ashen, rushing to the edge to look below. In the next instant, they both collapsed to the floor in shock.
