Jordan Huxley, a computer science student at Seastone University, had average grades, an unremarkable appearance, and an ordinary family background—a person so inconspicuous that they could easily be overlooked at first glance.
When Shannon first saw him, she couldn't detect any anomalies regarding his soul. However, that was understandable.
According to the system, once a living soul from the alternate world fully fused with the new body, even a mystic master would be unable to detect any abnormalities. Just like how the concept of rebirth was foreign to her mind when she first met Clara.
For some reason, the man before her exuded a different feeling.
"I know you. You're Shannon Jensen, right?"
Jordan gave off an impression of being very honest, but when he looked at her, there was a faint glimmer in his eyes. It was similar to the enthusiastic students she had encountered before.
"C-Can I take a photo with you?"
It was a normal request, which Shannon had agreed to before. This time, though, she only pulled out her phone and showed him a screenshot. "I'm here to ask you about this."
The screenshot displayed the latest chat conversation between him and Isabel. "You told Isabel that there will be a student mass suicide within the Seastone U campus three days from now. Can you tell me more about it?"
Hank, originally listening at the side, stiffened at the news. He quickly turned his head to look at Shannon, as if questioning, "You only said you're here to look for someone. You didn't tell me about this!
"Also, how did this guy called Jordan know what'd happen in three days?"
His mind was in chaos, but he knew Shannon wasn't the kind to make baseless assumptions. Immediately, he zipped his mouth and listened to her following words.
When Jordan saw the screenshot, he didn't appear surprised. Instead, he lowered his gaze as if he had anticipated this.
In simple terms, this case was also a mystery in the other world.
"There were eight victims who jumped off. However, they didn't do it in the same place. They scattered across their respective dorms, classrooms, and lab buildings, in different locations, yet at the same time.
"They jumped from the buildings as if it had been prearranged."
At that time, the incident caused an immense uproar, as there were fatalities in several buildings. The university students were all terrified, and as a result, the reputation of Seastone University suffered a significant blow.
"I only learned about it online, and because the police didn't reveal the names of the victims, I don't know who exactly they are…"
At that point, Hank couldn't help but chime in. "Wait, so you're saying, you don't know who, why, where, or when they're going to jump, other than that it's happening in three days?"
