Three people coming from the police car's direction cut through the crowd and pushed themselves to the front line. Two were male police officers, the last one a female college student. Needless to say, two of them were the male and female leads of this world, Gu Feng and Tang Lan.
Xie Delan, the bespectacled friend of Jiang Li saw the latter and immediately gave her a piercing glare. The woman saw it and immediately showed a dark face. However, she didn't say anything, even when his other friends did the same. After all, she knew their reason. It was enough that in her heart she was clearly innocent.
"She is planning to commit suicide, my good heavens!"
Not few gasped and swallowed their saliva after hearing this exclamation from someone. As most of the eyes were looking up to the silently crying female student above, not many caught sight of a young man dressed in a white shirt and black pants running back inside.
"He Chen!" The dark blonde guy shouted in an urgent voice, but the man did not look back.
Since the voice was drowned in others' shouts, prayers, and murmurs, apart from the bandmates of that person, only Tang Lan turned her head to the entrance. Her brows were furrowed, but since she did not see the figure of her ex, she went back to exchanging glances with the male lead. The police officer looked very anxious as he talked with his fellow officers through the walkie-talkie.
Tang Lan looked up. Hiding her nervousness, she said, "I know her. She's from the Accountancy Department. Her name is Na Yu, a sophomore student. She's a strong girl, and has many good friends and a nice family. Like the previous cases, it's weird that she suddenly wanted to do something like this."
"It's already the fifth one this year... We must rescue her! No harm must come to her!" Gu Feng seemed very concerned about the person above. The female lead understood that it was because the man disliked seeing someone dying. To stop the current cases of suicides, they must solve the issue once and for all.
"I think we must have the place cleared and put some safety measures around in case she jumps off."
Gu Feng sweated buckets. He and his companion ordered everyone to vacate the area so that no one would get hurt if ever the unthinkable happened. At the same time, the police officer phoned the other officers coming over to bring a landing airbag with them. When Tang Lan helped out, he threw an appreciative look before darting into the building and climbing the stairs to reach the rooftop as soon as possible.
However, before the male lead could, another person had long arrived there.
The door to the rooftop was flung open. Jiang Li appeared from the entrance, looking so pale, drenched in sweat and out of breath.
The woman who was only one stepped away from falling to her death slowly turned her head to his direction. The young man who saw her expression immediately noticed what was wrong with her.
'Damn those spooky eyes...'
Jiang Li stood still for a second. It had been a long time since he saw lifeless eyes like hers. No, actually they were not really lifeless. It was a pair of eyes that longed for life, more than anyone else. But unlike the zombies of the apocalypse world which desired to devour the living, hers only purely desired to come back to life.
Why would a living person who seemingly wanted to take her own life wish for something she already has?
The man cautiously took a few steps forward and met those weird eyes of the female student.
"Don't do that." He said in a very serious and commanding tone. Of course, he received no reply. So he added, "Talk to me instead. Let's have a serious discussion about our existence in this world... I'm like you."
The female student's hair danced along with the passing breeze. The man managed to see her face clearly for a brief second and was reminded of the reason why he momentarily froze earlier.
This woman was beautiful. In fact, she was way more beautiful than the female lead. For a second he wondered if this was the reason why she died. However, that thought got thrown somewhere far away. After all, the real reason he fell into a daze was that she really looked like someone he met not long ago.
Her eyes that looked so deep, yet glassy stared unblinkingly at him. It was weird considering the fact that the wind in a high altitude could be painful to the eyes. Even Jiang Li had to move his arm to shield his eyes, yet the woman remained staring at him wide-eyed. Her pale lips parted, letting out a sweet charming voice... that seemingly came from the underground.
"How... are you... similar... to me?"
She even tilted her head almost ninety degrees perpendicular to her neck. It must have been good for the onlookers below that most of her hair blocked their sight. If Jiang Li had not been used to seeing living dead with bodies twisted beyond abnormal, he would have been spooked out already. The setting sun and the deep red in the skies were not really helping in this situation at all.
Jiang Li simply replied, "I don't know who you are. But I'm sure that you're also not the original inhabitant of that body."
"..." The woman whose neck was twisted to her left finally blinked at him, asking. "You... are?"
He sneered, "An undying ghost like you, what else? But unlike you who wanted to kill all the beautiful and socially successful girls who you probably envied or pitied, I planned to live to the fullest (obtain points to the fullest) and take revenge against those who mistreated me by being successful and unattainable."
The man had just partly lied without batting an eyelash once. Though he just spouted a bunch of nonsense which was totally not in line with his character, Jiang Li did not remove the stoic look from his face and did not even sugarcoat his words to appear sympathetic to the malicious spirit before him.
Right. He was not truly speaking with the girl named Na Yu. But the vengeful ghost possessing this girl. Thanks to He Chen's memories, he didn't have to guess who she really was and what she went through to end up like this.
'Feng Ru, huh?'
The world was disturbingly quiet as he waited for her response. A few moments passed that only the sounds of winds could be heard between them. The crowd below must probably be clamoring there. But the two people in the rooftop did not care.
A young man continued walking towards the woman. Her hands were tightly grabbing on the metal bars on the dangerous side of the safety railings. If her feet accidentally slipped from the small dent, she would surely end up a mess of flesh and blood on the ground below. For some reason, the man taking huge strides towards her did not appear hurried or anxious. He was extremely calm when he extended a hand in front.
"Take my hand. Stop playing around."
The beautiful eyes of the girl bulged out of their sockets. She only looked at the hand stretched before her.

Not long after, she suddenly grinned from ear to ear, literally.
"Why... are you... stopping me... from killing her?" The eerie voice echoing eerily from all directions sounded so resentful and wicked. She simply desired destruction, to share her pain and hate to the world. Her lips that practically made a red line splitting the chin from the rest of her face revealed the extent of her insanity.
"WHY? WHY? WHY? AHAHAHAHAHA!"
To her question and laughter, Jiang Li's lips only twitched. "You're simply making me speechless. Which ghost wants to die over and over again? I seemed to know no one other than you."
"..."
And with this simple mocking reply, he successfully managed to make the villainess stumped for words...
