Su Qingxing hopes that the people in the mirror can tell him how to leave the library, but he is actually not sure whether those people in the mirror who need to point fingers to convey information have the ability to unravel the fog around the library.
However, after Su Qingxing made his decision and the person in the mirror disappeared, the real teacher Bai outside the mirror appeared outside the library, and the library that had become quiet and deserted suddenly sounded harsh The sound of an electric drill.
There are still no people on the stairs of the library where Su Qingxing and the others are on the first floor of the library as far as they can see, but there is a floor-to-ceiling window at the corner of the stairs, the sky outside the window has brightened, and there is even a construction worker standing on the decoration bracket He looked at Su Qingxing blankly.
Bai Hua had already rushed down the stairs, towards Teacher Bai who came in from the door. Su Qingxing and Pisa, who were still standing on the stairs, could see the entrance of the library at a glance. A small door had just been opened there, and the outside was surrounded by some wooden boards. The sound of the electric drill was also coming from there...
This is exactly what it looks like being repaired. "How did you get in here?" The teacher Bai obviously didn't believe that Su Qingxing and the others had really encountered a supernatural event, and only thought that a few children sneaked to a place where no one was paying attention in order to skip class. "It's so hot here, thanks to you being able to stay for so long!" Teacher Bai looked at Pisa and Su Qingxing with a pleasant expression, but when he looked at his younger brother, his brows were furrowed, and his tone sank, "Here you are." The teachers in the class are basically in the same office as me, even if you want to sneak around, please find a better excuse in advance.”
hot
After Mr. Bai mentioned this word, everyone noticed that the library, which was originally chilly due to the air conditioner, was really stuffy and hot at the moment. After standing for a while, Pizza’s smoky makeup began to faint due to sweating. Makes the makeup more non-mainstream. "Brother!" At this moment, Bai Hua didn't bother to study the other party's mood at the moment, and looked around in panic and said, "We may have encountered a ghost just now!" "What nonsense are you talking about?!" Teacher Bai said to his younger brother. There was a heavy knock on the forehead, "The class is not over yet, follow Su Qingxing back to class!" "But...but I think it is necessary to take Su Qingxing to the hospital first, or go to a Taoist temple!" Bai Hua lowered her voice "Just now I seemed to see him being possessed by a ghost, and he was talking to himself in the mirror all the time!" "Mirror?" What Bai Hua said caught Teacher Bai's attention, and the eyes he looked at Su Qingxing became a little bit for a moment strangeness. "It's so strange..." Pisa and Su Qing walked downstairs, then stopped when they saw Teacher Bai, stared at each other with their heads tilted, and asked, "Where have I met you?" "You Are they students from our school?" Teacher Bai obviously didn't like Pisa's unorthodox Shamat style, so after looking it up and down, he raised doubts, "Students from other schools are not allowed to enter during class time, don't you know?" "I'm not a student from another school!" Pisa spread his hands, "I'm no longer a student, so I can come in and out at any time, right?" "Maybe I can help hire security." When seeing Pisa's innocent smile , Teacher Bai also showed a smile on his face, "Please don't disturb the students in class." "Sorry, Teacher Bai, I feel a little unwell, can I go home and rest first?" Su Qingxing didn't know how to express his current mood. His originally shaky three views seemed to have completely collapsed at this moment, and many messy pictures still appeared in his mind, which needed enough time to sort out and summarize.
So under such circumstances, Su Qingxing really didn't want to continue sitting in the classroom. "Since you are not feeling well, student Su Qingxing should go home and rest now. I will help you with the sick leave." When facing Su Qingxing, this teacher Bai with a smiling face did use a more gentle The way.
Because when he heard his younger brother Bai Hua say that he was not feeling well, Teacher Bai restrained his smile the next second, and said to Bai Hua with a straight face: "Go back to class and stop talking nonsense in front of me all the time! If the semester credits If you don’t take it all, I will let your parents confiscate your right to use the laptop from the next semester.” “It’s too partial!”
This time, even Pizza, who was standing aside, agreed after hearing Bai Hua's complaint. "I'm sorry, Mr. Bai." Although Su Qingxing was also a little puzzled as to why this Mr. Bai, whom he hadn't even remembered his name, was so gentle to him, since the other party offered to help, Su Qingxing naturally had to express his gratitude.
One thing to say, Su Qingxing doesn't think that Teacher Bai treats his younger brother really badly. After all, the way he treats strangers and his younger brother can't be the same, so Teacher Bai's serious attitude towards Bai Hua is also in Su Qingxing's expectation. among. "By the way, that black rice cake can't help but be put away. Even if it's in the refrigerator, it must be eaten as soon as possible, so please have a good taste." Teacher Bai pointed to the bag in Su Qingxing's hand, and then smiled and prepared Escort my brother back to the classroom.
As for Mr. Bai's previous urging... Su Qingxing didn't know whether it was the black rice cake that he really couldn't help but was urging himself to eat the black rice cake quickly.
Just thinking of the warning from the person in the mirror, Su Qingxing grabbed the bag containing the black rice cakes, knowing that the best way to deal with these black rice cakes is... to destroy this piece of black rice cakes more thoroughly by means other than eating the better!
Like a fire or something.
After asking for leave, Su Qingxing planned to make good use of the next free time, go home and rest for half a day, taste the lunch made by his mother, and finally have a solid sleep.
Maybe when he wakes up, Su Qingxing will find that everything he experienced before is just a ridiculous dream. In fact, everyone around him is very ordinary, the library is open, and there are no other strange figures in the mirror. "See you tomorrow, Teacher Bai." Seeing Bai Hua being taken away by his brother, Su Qingxing, who put the black rice cakes in his schoolbag, said goodbye to Teacher Bai briefly. "You can just call me Bai Chu in private, see you tomorrow." Bai Chu said, with the same perfect smile as before, not looking like a bad person. "Be careful with that teacher." Pisa, who had been following Su Qingxing, suddenly lowered his voice, "The teacher looked gentle and always had a smile on his face, but he seemed to be showing his affection to you all the time. Maybe there are some weird plans." "Thank you." Although Su Qingxing didn't like that Shamat was out of the mainstream, because of the clues given by the man in the mirror, he now felt that what the other party said was not unreasonable. "What do you think happened just now?" Pisa was still puzzled, "Did we see a ghost? What did you do in the mirror?" "I don't know." Su Qingxing shook his head, and he himself Not sure how to explain that.
Maybe it's because the library has returned to normal, and there is no thick fog outside the library. Although Su Qingxing still walks along the tree-lined path, there is no fog in the small woods on both sides. pass" four words to describe.
On the way home, Su Qingxing was alone, so after walking on the sidewalk outside the school, he took out his mobile phone to see if he had missed any information when there was no signal, and then he noticed a piece of news shared by his mother. Missed this message.
Perhaps it was because the case mentioned in the news had never had any clues, so the report did not mention any substantive information, it only said that several people disappeared in a row in the neighborhood near Su Qingxing. There were no signs of these people disappearing, no suspects were found, and even those who disappeared didn't have much of the same characteristics.
To be precise, the only thing these people have in common is that they have appeared near here before, and they were not accompanied by other people when they appeared.
Then in the blink of an eye, these people evaporated from the world. "Su Qingxing!"
When Su Qing walked to the door of his house, the door of a nearby store suddenly opened, and a man with a cigarette and a prickly beard came out casually and waved to Su Qingxing.
Su Qingxing subconsciously glanced at the signboard of the store, and there were four big characters "Tomato Bookstore" written on it.
As the name of a bookstore, these four characters seem too lively.
There is also a cartoon tomato laughing on the signboard. "School is over so early today? Tong Yan happens to be here too, everyone can communicate in advance." The boss smoking a cigarette over there shouted to Su Qingxing.
Tong Yan? bookstore
Su Qingxing thought about it for a while, and guessed that this bookstore might be the bookstore that Bai Hua said he worked as an hourly worker every night, and this man with a cigarette and beard was probably the "boss" who had called Su Qingxing before. "Boss." Su Qing walked over and shouted, even if he recognized the wrong person, such a title would not make people feel embarrassed. "Last night you said that you found an important clue to the disappearance case, and you even sent an inexplicable text message to Tong Yan. What's going on?" What the bookstore owner said also confirmed Su Qingxing's guess, and told Su Qingxing in another way …
This bookstore seems to be a real part-time detective agency! "Boss, are you a bookstore owner or a professional detective?" Su Qingxing smiled, trying to make this sentence sound like a joke, and trying to get the boss out of his mouth.
The moment he saw the boss, Su Qingxing felt that this person looked familiar, so he believed that they were indeed acquaintances. Especially after hearing what the boss said just now, Su Qingxing felt like a temporary subordinate who ran errands for the detective. "When there are some things that ordinary people can't solve in this world, some people need to come forward, right? And no one is more qualified than me to investigate this matter." The boss waved to Su Qingxing again, with a look on his face The expression looked a bit bitter, "Tong Yan and Qiao Lv were inside, and they discovered something."
Su Qingxing glanced at the cartoon tomato printed on the glass door of the bookstore, thought for a while, and walked in directly.
The bookstore is comfortably air-conditioned, but there are no customers, only two young people who look slightly older than Su Qingxing are sitting at the rest table, and there is a tablet computer on the table, which seems to have some different books. Photos are rolling. "Qingxing, I remember you are Guizhu's student, right?" The young man who looked more outgoing didn't seem surprised by Su Qingxing's appearance, but just said as soon as he saw him, "We are trying to make five missing people disappear." I connected the locations on the map and found that these points coincided with the route leading to Guizhu, so I searched along this road for places that no one else had investigated, and I found one of them. The high-heeled shoes left by the missing person." "It may be leading to the vicinity of Guizhu." Su Qingxing usually does not link the school with the disappearance case.
What good would it do the school to take those people away
Take it to class
And, why was it so certain that the high heels found belonged to the missing person? "Then what happened to the text message you sent me yesterday?" The young man got up and put the phone screen in front of Su Qingxing.
Judging from the name on the mobile phone number, this is indeed a text message sent by Su Qingxing himself. The time was around ten o'clock last night, but the content of the text message is only two words, without even a punctuation - "Bai Chu" "I I have investigated the name 'Bai Chu', is it a teacher of Guizhu?" The young man looked confused, "You sent me this message, isn't it because you also found that Guizhu is related to this disappearance?" "I think, Maybe we can wait for the results of the police investigation." Su Qingxing's head suddenly became more painful. "I can wait, but Murong can't wait." The bookstore owner threw the cigarette on the ground, rubbed it with his heel a few times, then obediently picked up the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can, "Murong is missing After so long, I, as a husband, can't do anything, so I can only entrust you hourly workers to help."
Su Qingxing suddenly realized.
No wonder the owner of the bookstore said that he was qualified to investigate this matter. If Su Qingxing guessed correctly, the owner's wife Murong might also be one of the missing persons in this case. "Boss, stop smoking. If the lady boss sees it, she might toss you with her heels." The young man who was still sitting there looked shy, and even though everyone stood up, he was still looking down and studying Photos on tablet.
Su Qingxing took another look at the introverted young man, and found that he was not sitting on a chair, but on a light wheelchair, obviously with some inconvenience. "If possible, I'd rather be tossed about by her casually." The bookstore owner smiled wryly, "So the only clue we can guess now is Osmanthus Bamboo, right? Then no matter what, we have to go once." "Let's go now." Is it?" The tall young man looked eager to try. "No." The boss glanced at Su Qingxing beside him, "We will start after dinner, we have to make some preparations in advance, Su Qingxing, you should rush home for dinner too? It's not too late for us to discuss after you take a rest." "Yes. "Although I don't know why the boss chose the night, Su Qingxing still nodded.
But what Su Qingxing didn't know was that as soon as he left the bookstore, the owner of the bookstore had already started to organize tools and backpacks, and his movements seemed to be very fast. "Didn't you say to wait until night?" Seeing the boss packing his backpack, the two people next to him looked puzzled. "At night, I can't wait for a minute." The bookstore owner lit another cigarette, "That kid is a promising college student, and you are still young, so you don't need your help with this matter. After all, no one knows What will you meet.” “…”
Su Qingxing didn't know that the bookstore had already started to move, he just walked up the visually strange stairs subconsciously... He even felt a little confused for a while, and didn't quite remember which floor his home was on.
Fortunately, when he reached the fourth floor, Su Qingxing saw the door of a house open, and his mother, Su Ye, was looking at him with a smile on her face, holding vegetables in her hand. "Baby Qingxing, it's time to wash your hands and eat!"
