Outside the window, it was pitch black. A lot of classroom lights were broken, and only a few incandescent lamps were left lingering. But this light cannot penetrate out, even if the window is pushed and pulled, it remains motionless. It seems that it is just a wall, and the windows are just projections on the wall.
You know, it's afternoon now, and the sun was shining outside a few seconds ago. But who would have thought that just by changing the location, it was already late at night.
Du Yixin checked his phone, but there was no signal, so he checked around the classroom again. And Ai Le seemed to be scared to death, and followed behind him step by step.
The impact of this inexplicable scene change made the two temporarily forget the embarrassing confession scene a few minutes ago.
This classroom looks very ordinary. If it weren't for the dust accumulated on the table and the floor, it would seem that there were students writing and writing in the classroom a few minutes ago. Du Yixin picked up the textbook at random and flipped through it, and found that the content was the same as what he had read, and even the doodles were similar, which made people feel very friendly.
It's just that the paper is yellow and slightly hard, and it seems that if it is turned, it will shatter in the wind.
How long have these books been there
The blackboard next to the podium has been used for many years, and the white powder has seeped into it and can no longer be wiped clean. On the far right is the class schedule and students on duty, and in the middle is the half-erased writing on the blackboard.
Du Yixin didn't pay attention to it at first, but when he read it word by word, he discovered a creepy thing.
"Our name..." Aile also noticed, "Why is it written in it?"
"I'm afraid the murderer knows us." Even so, Du Yixin didn't have much confidence. He was dizzy for a while, but it felt like it was only a few seconds. What's more, someone may pass by the university campus at any time. Would someone really take them away in full view and throw them into a place like this
Even if it is, what is the purpose.
He couldn't figure it out.
"There are three other names." Du Yixin wrote down the names, "Maybe they will know something."
Elle nodded.
Other than that, there are no more clues, and the two are ready to go out.
The classroom door was not locked. Because it is too old, it "squeaks" as soon as it is pushed away. Outside is a narrow corridor. The corridor is full of debris, and further away, the corridor is submerged in darkness, making it difficult to see clearly.
"It seems... the outside is more terrifying." Ai Le was a little uneasy.
"It's just darker." Du Yixin turned on the flashlight that came with his phone and took a photo in the direction of the corridor.
Suddenly, a series of hasty bells rang, echoing in this dark and mysterious school. Then, there was a mechanically indifferent electronic female voice:
[Students, please pay attention, it is already school time. Please do not stay in the school, please leave immediately, and the "patrol teacher" will start patrolling. Repeat—]
Aile immediately shrank behind him like a frightened hamster. Then, as if seeing something, he tugged on his sleeve: "Senior, look there."
Du Yixin looked in the direction of his finger and found a retro stereo system hanging in the corner of the classroom ceiling. That's where the broadcast comes from. After the female voice repeated it again, everything returned to calm.
Here's what to say. leave school? Inspection teacher? It was pitch black outside the window, it was at least early in the morning, how could there be such an inexplicable broadcast.
The female voice doesn't sound like a human being, but there should be someone playing this recording in the radio room right now. Maybe that guy is the culprit.
As for the patrol teacher... To be honest, if there is a teacher, his first reaction is to ask for help. But listening to the content just now, it is more like a warning, telling them that the patrol teacher will start patrolling and must avoid it.
In any case, the location of the broadcasting room is not clear at the moment, and the immediate priority is to leave the school.
The hallway lights are on and off. The floors were cracked and decayed, and there were even holes in some places. You have to move forward carefully so that your feet don't get stuck.
Perhaps it was due to the gloomy atmosphere, the two remained silent to avoid attracting something hidden in the dark.
After a while, I finally found the stairwell. The stairs were hidden in the darkness. Although the eyes of the two had gradually adapted to the dark place, they still couldn't see clearly, and the flashlight couldn't reach the bottom.
"Be careful, don't step on the air." Du Yixin warned, and was about to go down. At this time, he vaguely heard footsteps not far away.
Hearing the sound, he was walking in a leisurely manner, but it was obvious that he was approaching the stairwell. Not long after, a beam of light came directly from downstairs.
The man is going upstairs.
Ai Le gasped, and held onto Du Yixin tightly.
Du Yixin's heart beat faster, he immediately turned off the flashlight, pulled his junior back into the nearest classroom, and hid behind the door.
Is the visitor a human or a ghost? He couldn't judge, but his intuition told him that it's better not to be head-on.
The sound was getting closer and closer, and the light shone over, spilling into the classroom through the windows.
"Senior..."
Du Yixin gestured for silence, held Aile's head and lowered his body, trying to get as close to the wall as possible to avoid being noticed by outsiders.
"Boom boom."
"Boom boom."
Fortunately, the visitor did not stay for too long, and the sound of footsteps gradually faded away. He poked his head out and looked carefully, but only saw the guy's back.
Looking at his figure, he looked like a middle-aged man wearing dirty sportswear. He held a flashlight in his right hand to search around, but in his left hand he held a huge watermelon knife. The blade is pitch black, whether it is rust or coagulated blood. When passing the corner, the man showed his side face.
The eye sockets and cheeks are sunken, the teeth are protruding, and the appearance is haggard. It really doesn't look like a normal person.
Is this the "inspecting teacher" mentioned in the broadcast
If you say that up until now, Du Yixin still had the idea of seeking help, but now he has completely given up on it. Not to mention the strange appearance of that person, the watermelon knife he was carrying was enough to prove that the person who came was not good.
If the two "students who stayed at school" were caught, how they would be treated is chilling just to imagine.
"What the hell is that?" Aile seemed to be a little bit broken. He has always hated scary things, and the fake objects in the haunted house scare him enough. Not to mention the unidentified species that appeared in this unknown environment.
"I don't know, it may be the 'teacher' mentioned on the radio. Be careful not to be caught by him, I have a bad feeling." Du Yixin got up with lingering fear, "Let's go, since he came up, it means that the downstairs should be It's safe, let's take the opportunity to go down."
"Yeah!" Aile wanted to get up, but his legs felt weak, "Senior, I, I'm scared, I can't walk anymore."
"Can't walk?" Du Yixin wondered, "Then I'll give you ten seconds to rest."
Ai Le was taken aback: "Huh? Ten seconds..."
"Ten..." Du Yixin had already started counting down.
"wait wait wait… "
"one."
You are counting too fast!
Ai Le couldn't help complaining in his heart, but seeing that the senior was really going to leave, he didn't care whether his legs were soft or not, and hurriedly stood up: "I can walk, I can walk, don't leave me behind."
Du Yixin looked outside again to make sure that the teacher had gone far. Then he beckoned and asked Aile to leave with him.
It wasn't that he deliberately played tricks on his junior, but he couldn't stay here for a long time. If the inspector turned back and bumped into him, the consequences would be disastrous.
The stairs went down two or three floors in a row, and there was another corridor in between. But the two didn't stop there, they went down to the bottom floor.
The decoration on the first floor is different from the upstairs. The number of classrooms has decreased and corridors have been widened.
I went to the right first, but I didn't take a few steps to the end. At the end was a door, locked. Different from ordinary rooms, the door has a special style, which is a double door. But it's not quite like an entrance, I don't know what's behind it.
Turn around and go to the other end, passing a bulletin board on the way. Several notices were pasted on the bulletin board, the paper was yellowed and the handwriting was illegible. Du Yixin thought that there would be some clues or information about the school, but after careful identification for a long time, he found nothing.
Pass the bulletin board, turn a corner, and the front suddenly becomes clear.
"Exit!" Ai Le was overjoyed and quickened his pace.
In front, there is a closed rolling door, which connects to the outside world.
A large mirror was pasted on the wall opposite the rolling shutter door, and the slogan "Heaven rewards hard work, and virtue carries wealth" was pasted on the mirror. Perhaps it was because the mirror surface was stained with red rust, and there were many damages. The school it reflects is broken into pieces, showing a strange ghost.
Du Yixin went to pull the door without expecting it, and it was locked without accident.
It seems that this school will not let them leave easily. Now, either look for another exit; or, find the key to this door.
Ai Le was very disappointed, and patted the door in frustration. Then the rolling shutter door made a "cracking" sound, which was particularly loud against the quiet school. Du Yixin hurriedly stopped him. If the sound attracted the patrolling teachers, they might burp before they could find the exit.
Aile looked like he had committed a mistake, and put his hands behind his back.
Du Yixin looked around, wondering if there were any other abnormal noises besides this one.
"..."
Then he heard it.
This time not one, but several.
Several people are approaching here.
