Hearing the phone ring, the middle-aged guard winked at the guard behind him, signaling him to answer the phone. He himself still stood in front of the door, blocking Yuquan and I.
The call was picked up by the security guard, and then I noticed that the expression on the security guard's face changed slightly.
After the call was put down, the doorman hurried over from the guard room.
When they came to the middle-aged guard, Xiao Huang said quickly, "Brother Qin, these two people are related to Principal Lu. The work ID they showed is real. This person named Yang Tianyi is really the new administrator of Dormitory Building No. 4."
"That little monk is a sanitation worker who cleans Building No. 4. He doesn't have a work permit for the time being."
After hearing this, the middle-aged guard named Qin frowned slightly and said in surprise: "How is it possible? How could Principal Lu let a little monk be the sanitation worker of the dormitory building? This is unreasonable!"
The guard named Xiao Huang answered, "But that's what Principal Lu said. I heard it very clearly."
After thinking for a while, the middle-aged guard named Qin turned around and smiled at us, "In that case, please go in first... But I have to remind you that this is Fanghua Women's University. You should know what to do and what not to do."
I understood what the middle-aged guard named Qin said. He clearly thought we were bad people and was afraid that we would harass the girls living in the dormitory building.
I put away the smile on my face and said to the middle-aged guard, "Don't worry, we know what to do."
Afterwards, after the middle-aged security guard made way, Yuquan and I entered the girls’ dormitory area of Fanghua Women’s University together with Lin Hongyu and others.
At this time, the sky had completely darkened.
It was a little after 6:30 in the evening. There were no girls on the road in the entire dormitory area. It was quiet. Even in the dormitory buildings, few lights were turned on. It was as if the entire dormitory area had fallen into a deep sleep.
Those dormitory buildings, whether new or old, were hidden in the darkness, as if someone had covered this area with a piece of black gauze.
I asked Yao Nana next to me and found out that there was a problem with the street light circuit in the dormitory area these days, so the lights were not on. However, the electricity in the dormitory building was normal.
Soon, after walking along a red brick path for more than ten minutes, we arrived in front of Building No. 4. The stairs downstairs were a bit high, more than twenty steps, which was really a challenge.
After climbing up the stone steps, I took a deep breath.
Then he followed Lin Hongyu and others and continued walking into the building.
When I entered the first floor of Dormitory Building No. 4, I found that there were long corridors on both sides. It was dark inside the building, and with a little light coming from a door on the right, I could vaguely see the paths on both sides.
Lin Hongyu introduced: "Brother Yang, our dormitory building is an old one, so some of the designs are unreasonable. For example, there is no elevator here. If we want to go to the third floor, we can only choose a corridor from either side. At the end of the corridor is the staircase leading to the upper floors. But it's good to go there, and we can go directly to other floors without having to go around in circles."
I nodded.
Just as Lin Hongyu was giving me a brief introduction, a person suddenly walked out from the lighted room.
The man had a flashlight in his hand, and was shining the light at us.
When he saw Yuquan and I, he asked calmly, "Who are you? Are you Principal Lu, the new dormitory administrator?"
Zhao Ping, who was standing by, whispered to me, "Brother Yang, this
The person is Miss Zhang from the dormitory building."
With the help of the flashlight, I looked over and found that it was a middle-aged woman. Her figure was not like that of a young girl, but rather bloated. Her hair was long and curly, and her face was relatively large and a little pale.
That kind of white seems to be the white of lime, giving people the feeling of being painted with white paint.
I quickly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, sister, I am the new dormitory manager of Building 4. This is my work ID."
Then I walked up to the middle-aged woman named Zhang and handed her my work ID.
After looking at my work ID, the woman named Zhang nodded and said, "Come on, come to the management room, let's go through the handover procedures. Principal Lu has already called me and informed me that you will be here in the evening."
"Although you won't be staying here for long, I still need to explain the work matters. It's just right that I can take a good rest these few days."
Then the young monk Yuquan and I followed the woman named Zhang into the management room.
The room was not big, only about 10 square meters, with a bed, a cabinet, and a large table. There were bunches of keys hanging on the wall.
Although the room is small, it looks neat and clean.
The handover procedure was very simple. The woman named Zhang told me how to register in the notebook and also told me the numbers of the dormitory door keys so that I would not make any mistakes.
Soon, the woman surnamed Zhang completed the handover, put on her tweed coat, and prepared to leave.
I called out to the woman named Zhang, "Sister, wait a minute."
The woman surnamed Zhang stopped at the door of the room.
She stared at me in confusion, "Little brother, is there anything else?"
I smiled and said, "Sister Zhang, I heard that you put away the things used to play the 'Ouija game' in Room 301 last time. I wonder if those things are still here with you?"
The woman surnamed Zhang thought for a moment and asked me, "Are you talking about the paper with the messy drawings on it, the porcelain bowl, and the candle?"
I nodded.
The woman surnamed Zhang continued, "They are all locked in the cabinet with me. What do you want them for?"
Seeing that I didn't say anything, the woman surnamed Zhang looked at the little monk and I again. Then she suddenly realized something.
Her expression changed, and she said quickly: "I understand, I understand! You are ghost catchers, and you are here to help the school find the missing student Ma Ying! This must be the case. These days, Room 301 has been restless, and the students living here have rumored that Room 301 is haunted..."
I nodded without denying it.
The woman surnamed Zhang hurriedly said, "I say, Principal Lu, why did he speak so mysteriously when I asked about you? So that's how it is. But that Ma Ying has been missing for a few days, and it may be difficult to find her. Maybe the child left on his own and went somewhere. It's not necessarily the work of a ghost or a spirit!"
"The police have been here and found nothing unusual. I didn't expect that Principal Lu would invite you back. It's really..."
This lady surnamed Zhang seemed quite serious just now, but it was only then that I realized that she was actually nagging non-stop.
I interrupted and said, "Sister Zhang, you are right. But you should give me those things first. I will see if there are any clues I have missed."
Sister Zhang was a little embarrassed and said quickly, "Little brother, I'm sorry. Look at my mouth. I just like to nag."
"It doesn't matter!"
Then, Sister Zhang came to the cabinet near the bed.
The cabinet was locked, and she opened it with a key hanging on the wall.
But after opening the cabinet,
The elder sister surnamed Zhang stood up in surprise and said to me: "This... ... little brother, that... ... those things are all gone!!"
"What? Those things are gone?"
I couldn't help but be a little surprised.
I hurriedly said, "Sister, don't worry. Think about whether you put it in the wrong place. You should look for it again. Maybe those things may contain clues to us finding the girl named Ma Ying."
"Yes, yes, little brother, don't worry, I'll look for it again... But I clearly remember putting those things in the cabinet. And I stay here almost every day, those things can't just disappear for no reason."
While muttering to herself, Miss Zhang started rummaging around in the cabinet and other places.
But after searching for a long time, she said to me with a bitter face, "Little brother, no, Master... those things are really gone. They are nowhere to be found. Could it be... a ghost?"
When she said the word "ghost", the eldest sister surnamed Zhang's face turned pale and her voice became much deeper. Even Lin Hongyu and others who had just entered the room quickly left the room when they heard the word "ghost".
In order to avoid causing panic, I said to Ms. Zhang, "Sister, since you can't find the things, don't look for them for now. It seems that some mischievous students may have taken them away when you were not paying attention. Don't worry about it."
But Miss Zhang didn't think much about it and still looked uneasy.
Soon, Sister Zhang left dormitory building No. 4.
I walked around the room and said to the young monk Yuquan, "Yuquan, go with them to dormitory area 301 first. I'll look around in this room to see if I can find any clues."
"good!"
The girls had no objections, and then they took Yuquan along the corridor to the third floor.
Slowly, I closed the door of the management room.
Without thinking too much, I directly circulated the Yin De Qi and stimulated the Yin De Qi on my left hand. After reciting the eye spell, the Heavenly Eye on the palm of my left hand suddenly opened, releasing a gleam of green light.
I walked up to the cabinet that the lady surnamed Zhang had just rummaged through and shone my third eye over there.
Sure enough, I found a little bit of ghost energy on the cabinet door and inside the cabinet. Although the ghost energy was very faint, it was still discovered by the Sky Eye.
Damn, it looks like it was really done by a ghost.
Since the ghost stole all the things used for playing with the Ouija board, it means that it wants to destroy the evidence, that is, something was left on the paper, the porcelain bowl, or the candle.
But no matter what, the things were stolen, and even if I have an inference, I have to find those things first.
Then I walked out of the room and went into the corridor.
The dark corridor had a smooth cement floor, and walking on it made a "click-click" sound. The doors of the rooms next to it were all closed, with a small curtain drawn on them.
The Sky Eye passed through those doors and did not detect any ghostly aura.
Soon, I came to the end of the corridor on the right.
Sure enough, there was a staircase leading upstairs at the end of the corridor.
The stairs were old, and even the red paint on the handrails had peeled off and was bent at the corners. The spacing between the iron bars on the handrails was also different, and in some places the iron bars had been broken.
Just when I reached the second floor, a scream of fear suddenly came from the third floor.
"ah----"
It was a girl's voice.
