"It's related to my phone."

"Phone?" Chen Hao looked puzzled, "You're not saying your phone is cursed, are you?"

The man nodded repeatedly at Chen Hao with a mournful expression and said, "That's exactly the case, I'll show you if you don't believe me!"

After speaking, the man approached Chen Hao, but he didn't get in the car. Instead, he stopped in front of the side door and handed his open phone to Chen Hao.

After hesitating for two seconds, Chen Hao took the phone, wondering if it might have caught a virus from too many unhealthy web browsing sessions.

After fiddling with the man's phone for a while, Chen Hao said, "There doesn't seem to be any problem?"

"You... Look at the messages!" The man stammered, and Chen Hao could clearly sense the trembling in his voice.

Following the man's instructions, Chen Hao opened the messages and asked, "Which one should I look at?"

"The first three. Any of them will do."

So, Chen Hao opened the second message and said, "Then I'll open the message sent by Lu Jun."

"Yes!" the man replied with a note of fear in his voice, "He was my roommate, who just died yesterday!"

Instantly, all four people with Chen Hao were stunned.

It took them a long time to come to their senses. Chen Hao read through the content of the messages, while Xie Xiaofeng turned his head to look at the man and asked, "How did your roommate die?"

"He died suddenly!"

Xie Xiaofeng's face showed alarm as he asked further, "You just said the first three messages are all the same, did the people who sent the other two also die?"

"That's right, they all died, and they were all my roommates!"

Xie Xiaofeng turned pale with shock and stared in disbelief.

"You're Huang Yejiang, right?" Chen Hao murmured while looking down at the phone.

"What was in the messages?" Tang Jing asked eagerly.

"Monday, Gao Dasong dies; Tuesday, Liu Weitao dies; Wednesday, you die; Thursday, Huang Yejiang dies!"

Hearing this, Tang Jing's eyes widened in shock, gasping, "It's Thursday today!"

Immediately, Huang Yejiang's legs went weak, and he bowed and clasped his hands in supplication towards Chen Hao pleading, "Little brother, you must save me!"

"First, tell us exactly what happened."

After taking a deep breath, Huang Yejiang told Chen Hao:

Three days ago, his roommate Gao Dasong suddenly received this message and forwarded it to the other three people in the dorm. At the time, no one took it seriously, thinking it was just a prank message. But then the next day, Gao Dasong unexpectedly died suddenly.

After the medical staff took away Gao Dasong's body, to avoid impacting the wellbeing of the remaining three, the instructor arranged for them to stay at the school's guest house. Not long after moving into the guest house and while still mourning Gao Dasong, Liu Weitao suddenly received the death message.

Startled, Liu Weitao suddenly rushed to the balcony and dialed the number from the text message. However, what was horrifying was that this number turned out to be disconnected. After hanging up the phone, Liu Weitao collapsed onto the ground and wailed in agony.

Huang Yejiang and Lu Jun thought Liu Weitao was overcome with grief for Gao Dasong, so at the time, they paid him no mind. When they went to the cafeteria for lunch, Huang Yejiang and Lu Jun received the forwarded text message from Liu Weitao. Seeing the message, Huang Yejiang and Lu Jun were too scared to return to the guesthouse.

After discussing the situation, Huang Yejiang and Lu Jun decided not to return to the guesthouse that night. Huang Yejiang checked into a hotel near the school, while Lu Jun took leave to go home, leaving Liu Weitao alone at the guesthouse.

The following morning, which was yesterday, Huang Yejiang received a call from his tutor, who said that Liu Weitao had hung himself in the guesthouse the night before. Upon hearing this news, Huang Yejiang felt as if electricity had surged through his body, causing his heart to flutter erratically.

It wasn't long before Lu Jun called Huang Yejiang.

After pondering for a while, Huang Yejiang ultimately chose to hang up on Lu Jun's call. He knew Lu Jun certainly wanted to find him, but he was afraid of being implicated by Lu Jun.

Subsequently, Lu Jun called him dozens of times, all of which he ignored.

At noon, Lu Jun sent Huang Yejiang two text messages: one message read, "Huang Yejiang, you can't escape either; if the two of us work together, maybe we both can still be saved!" The other message was that ominous death text message.

Later, Huang Yejiang of course did not respond to Lu Jun, but rather hid himself alone in the hotel, calling friends and family to inquire about contacting an Onmyoji. It wasn't until that evening that he learned from a cleaning lady that there was a Yin Yang Master Association in City C.

After enduring a sleepless night, Huang Yejiang finally saw daylight arrive.

At seven-thirty in the morning, he hurriedly left the hotel and made his way to the Yin Yang Master Association. On his way there, he received a call from his tutor.

Everything was as he had anticipated; Lu Jun was dead, having lain on train tracks the previous night. His tutor ordered Huang Yejiang to return to the school immediately, where he was to be placed in the campus hospital with dedicated doctors, nurses, and campus police on guard.

Huang Yejiang had agreed to his tutor's request at the time and quickly turned back towards the school. However, upon reaching the school gates, Huang Yejiang had second thoughts and turned off his phone, boarding a vehicle bound for the Onmyoji once more.

Unfortunately, when he arrived at the door of the Yin Yang Master Association in City C, he discovered it was closed; Fortuitously, just as he was sinking into despair, he saw a van with the eye-catching words "Exorcism Special Vehicle."

"Please, you must save me!" Huang Yejiang pleaded with Chen Hao and the others again, "I'm young, a graduate student from a prestigious university, about to graduate this year with a bright future ahead of me. My parents are also waiting for me to give them a good life. I really don't want to die!"

With that, Huang Yejiang knelt on the ground.

"Big brother, you're older than us, and a graduate student from a prestigious university—kneeling before us is something we can't bear!" Xie Xiaofeng said with a mix of sarcasm and mockery. He had nothing but contempt for Huang Yejiang's cowardly betrayal of his roommate. If placed in the same situation as Chen Hao and himself, Xie Xiaofeng believed they would choose to face it together, either living or dying as one.

"Get up," said Chen Hao coldly, similarly looking down on Huang Yejiang, "A man's knees are worth more than gold; there are things more important than life. Don't worry, if we can save you, we definitely will."

Just then, Huang Yejiang's phone suddenly chimed with a "ding-a-ling."

"Ah!" Huang Yejiang showed a look of panic. "A text message, please check it for me."

Chen Hao bowed his head and clicked on the text message.

"It's that death text message!"

"Ding-a-ling," another new message arrived.

Surprised and curious, Chen Hao checked the new message.

"This matter doesn't concern you, don't meddle in affairs that aren't your business!"
