I Was Once a Legend

Chapter 41: Reason for fear

Who turned off the light.

The moment this thought appeared in his mind, Dong Zheng ran without hesitation, the sound of marbles ticking behind him, and the sound was close to each other, as if he was rolling down the stairs step by step.

clatter-

Dong Zheng didn't dare to look back at all. Fortunately, the family lived on the fourth floor. Except for this floor, the lights on other floors were still on. He rushed out of the corridor and ran until more than 20 meters away from the unit before turning his head to look. Eye.

The lights on the fourth and fifth floors were off, and on the platforms between the first and second floors, the lights cast a vague human-shaped black shadow on the window glass, moving slowly downward.

Da da-

The night wind blew, and the back covered with fine sweat was chilly.

"Cui Zuojing?" Dong Zheng took a deep breath, turned around and continued to walk forward quickly, shouting in a low voice.

Cui Zuojing, who was staying in his prison space and relying on the two to contact him to observe the condition of the box, did not expect Dong Zhenghui to call him now, and was a little surprised: "Huh?"

"Can you come out?"

The boy's figure appeared beside him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Dong Zheng paused, and finally said honestly, "I'm a little scared."

Cui Zuojing burst out laughing, and said with a bit of schadenfreude, "I thought you were such a tyrannical elite fan that you wouldn't be afraid of these things."

Dong Zheng said as he walked: "Fear comes from the unknown and resistance to death. In the real world, I really wouldn't be afraid of this kind of thing, because I know it's all fake, but it's different here. Ghosts can easily take people's lives. Don't want to die, isn't it normal to be afraid?"

"Okay, then I'll accompany you for a while." Cui Zuojing's mood suddenly improved, following Dong Zheng, looking back, the thing had reached the door of the building, and the black shadow was drawn very long by the light. . It's not hard to imagine what horrible things would happen if Dong Zheng lingered at home for a while longer.

Cui Zuojing: "What are you going to do now?"

Dong Zheng: "At the beginning, the script gave a hint. I am playing a single parent. The child didn't go home so late, so I have to go to school to find it."

It was a little foggy at night, the surroundings were blurry in the darkness, a crescent moon hung high in the night sky, and the street lights in only one direction were on, trying to guide the direction of the school.

The two walked all the way in the direction of the lights. After seven o'clock in the evening, it should be a lively time period, but the street was empty. After walking for more than ten minutes, the tall school gate pillar appeared in the field of vision.

Dong Zheng went over, and the uncle of the guard in the security uniform was about to lock the school gate. Dong Zheng hurried forward and said, "I'm sorry, my child hasn't come back yet, can I go in and look for it?"

The doorman turned his head, this was the first living person Dong Zheng encountered after entering the box, his face was blurred in the shadow of the brim, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I have checked just now, no one is there. "

Dong Zheng appropriately plays the role of a father who finds his son missing: "I have searched other places, except for the school. My son is very good and usually goes home on time. Something must have happened today. Go in and look for it."

The doorman thought for a while, took off a small key with red rust on the handle from the keychain hanging on the back waist, and handed it to Dong Zheng: "This is the key of the guard room, come out of the guard room after you find it. Well, I'll lock the door first."

"Okay, thank you." Dong Zheng put away the key and entered the school with Cui Zuojing. The guard locked the door behind them and left slowly.

[Quest Update: Survive Tonight/Find Son]

Cui Zuojing suddenly said: "Have you heard a saying?"

"what?"

"Many schools are built on cemeteries. Students are there during the day, and the yang qi will suppress the yin qi. Once they leave, the night will become a paradise for ghosts. That's why there are so many campus rumors."

Dong Zheng snorted and said calmly: "Because most of the cemeteries used to be in the suburbs, after the city is expanded, it will naturally become land for use. The school covers a large area and needs a quiet environment. The Land Resources Administration will naturally demarcate the place. Establishing a school. As for the campus gossip... I have been in school for so many years, and I have never met one. Of course, this place cannot be compared with the real world, and there will definitely be ghosts."

"..." Cui Zuojing was speechless, "I wanted to scare you, but I thought you would be afraid."

"Yeah, I'm really scared." Dong Zheng spread his palm expressionlessly, Cui Zuojing touched it, a layer of cold sweat.

Cui Zuojing couldn't help raising the corners of his lips: "It's okay if you're afraid, let's go and find your cheap son."

The two of them took a rough look at the circle. The school covers a large area. It is divided into elementary school and junior high school, the teaching building in the north, the auditorium and laboratory in the east, the canteen and warehouse in the south, and the school gate faces west.

So far, apart from the dinosaur puppet on the son's bed at home, there is no other plot related to clues. To be honest, this [Doll's House], Dong Zheng originally thought that it would be set in a toy factory, a doll's room and other places, schools and This one doesn't look very relevant.

Although Dong Zheng didn't think he could find the so-called son, and even if he did, there was a high probability that he would not be alive, but he still went to the teaching building first. The textbook on his son's desk was in the fifth grade. He didn't have a map, so he didn't know that building belonged to the primary school, so he went straight to the nearest one.

The door of the classroom was locked as a matter of course. Dong Zheng took a flashlight and looked in from the small windows on the door one by one. He didn't find anything unusual. All the classroom windows were locked by security windows and could not be entered.

With nothing to gain on the first floor, Dong Zheng called Cui Zuojing, who was looking up at the praise board on the wall, to the second floor.

It is undeniable that as long as someone is with him, even if he doesn't speak or do anything, it will make Dong Zheng feel less nervous and fearful. The footsteps of the two of them echoed in the corridor, the voice-activated lights came on, and there were traces of rain and water leakage at the corners of the walls.

Cui Zuojing: "What's the name of your cheap son?"

The flashlight illuminated the seating chart posted on the door. Dong Zheng glanced at it roughly and said, "I don't know, the child didn't even write his name on the book."

Cui Zuojing nodded. The two walked around the second floor and found that the door of the classroom at the end was unlocked, but tightly closed.

Dong Zheng opened the door carefully, and the classroom was empty.

He and Cui Zuojing went in, pressed the switch at the door, and after the three rows of lamps above his head flickered for a while, they finally failed to light up again.

At a glance, Dong Zheng saw the pattern drawn on the blackboard. The white chalk lines outlined the appearance of a cartoon villain, with two banana-like braids on his head, a girl full of fangs, a pair of devil wings and a little devil tail on the back, and the soles of her feet. A cloud of blood scribbled with a red pen.

It's abstract, clearly written by a child.

Dong Zheng began to search for the table, Cui Zuojing sat on a table by the window, according to the original agreement, just looking at it would not help.

The light of the flashlight swept across his cheek from time to time, Cui Zuojing narrowed his eyes, and suddenly saw a black shadow flashing past the window on the opposite side of the corridor.

The next second, the classroom door was closed out of thin air, and a loud bang made Dong Zheng, who was concentrating on finding something, suddenly raised his head. He took a step back vigilantly, and picked up a stool to prepare for an attack at any time.

The sound of the lock is so clear.

Cui Zuojing jumped down, pulled the door hard, and shrugged at Dong Zheng: "We're locked inside."

The flashlight shone out of the window, and Dong Zheng only saw a corner of something passing by. He immediately stood against the wall, stuck at the maximum angle he could see the corridor, and clearly saw the huge dark green figure who was leaving with his back facing away.

what

Dong Zheng frowned, and at this moment, another flashlight shot from the other end of the corridor and hit the monster's back.

"Someone-fuck!" The soft question turned into a curse at the moment the monster turned around, and the flashlight immediately turned around and ran away.

Dong Zheng also finally saw the true face of the monster.

It was a toy dinosaur.

Tattered cotton wool fell out from the side of the long neck, and two buttons were sewn on the eyes. It stood on its hind legs, about two meters high, half of its body was covered with black blood, and its two front claws were as sharp as knives. , in the flashlight, it emits a fierce metallic luster, and Dong Zheng has no doubt that it can tear people to pieces.

He immediately turned off the flashlight, and as he passed the window, the dinosaur turned his head to look at him and Cui Zuojing, a terrifying smile grinned from the mouth sewn with black threads, illuminated by the moonlight.

It ignored the two people locked inside, and the figure flashed by in the sound of heavy footsteps, chasing another person who suddenly came in.

"It was Hangzhi just now?" Dong Zheng and Cui Zuojing looked at each other and asked in a low voice.

"Listen to the sound, I guess he heard the movement or saw the light." Cui Zuojing opened the window, and could vaguely hear someone running fast in the corridor downstairs, and then he sat back on the table leisurely, "Really Unlucky, when you meet love around the corner, he will probably catch up for a while."

"Find a way to get out first." Dong Zheng continued to search the table. Of course, he knew that it would be easy to destroy the door or security window with Cui Zuojing's ability, but he didn't want to let the teenager help him casually.

Dong Zheng found a diary from a table hole in the back row. He had already used it for most of the time. He flipped through it. The style of primary school students' writing. Obviously, because the language teacher insisted that he should write one every day, there were many similar "Today's writing style". Nice weather, happy", or "Today is so boring, nothing to write about" or something like that.

Dong Zheng didn't take a closer look and put away the diary. He was afraid that the dinosaur would turn around and deal with them after a long delay. Now he is trapped in the classroom. If something really happens, he has nowhere to escape. .

Dong Zheng took out a dead sparrow from the table hole in the second row on the right. It had begun to rot, and black bugs had crawled on it. There is a gap in the middle of the stool, and if you sit on it too much, it may pinch your butt.

In the trash can in the corner of the back door of the classroom, there were spoiled meals, scraps of paper, and a puddle of water on the ground that had not yet dried. Apart from that, there were no other clues.

Dong Zheng leaned on the last row of tables to think, the demon girl on the blackboard grinned at him, as if mocking.

He opened the diary again, Cui Zuojing came over and started to read from the first page with him.

[Sunny Monday, April 8]

[The teacher asked us to write a diary every day to record the events and feelings that happened that day, but we would not accept it for inspection, so what is the purpose of writing a diary?]

Cui Zuojing: "Hey, this kid is really sincere."

[Sunny Wednesday, April 10]

[They made Agatha cry again, I gave half of my lunch to Agatha, and they laughed at me.

I'm angry, and I'm going to tell the teacher if I do this.]

Finally something appeared that seemed to be related to the plot. Dong Zheng skipped many pages of useless articles and turned to the next page.

The author has something to say: 2nd Geng~ Liver hurts qwq

As well as everyone's guessing comments about the plot or setting with a large number of words, I will improve it. Don't be afraid to guess wrong or something, but feel free to guess! I especially like to read the comments, will be very happy!

And thank you for the two long comments on the listing of 50,000 babies in the sea, Jiu Mi!
