Lu Yanli was slightly surprised: "He Lou? Who is He Lou
His expression didn't seem fake, as if he was hearing this name for the first time.
But there was already a storm in his heart.
Why did Chu Xiu know about He Lou? What was the connection between them? Did he discover something
As expected, he should have killed He Lou long ago, instead of keeping him until the next mission. The most important thing now was, how much did Chu Xiu know? And who else did He Lou tell his secrets to
He didn't show it on his face, just a little curious. Chu Xiu naturally wouldn't show it, so he glossed over it: "Someone I know."
Lu Yanli thought about it several times and knew that based on his current image in his mind, if he didn't doubt that he was testing whether his reaction was abnormal, he didn't hesitate: "Since you know him yourself, why do you ask me this specifically? Or do you think he has some connection with me?"
Chu Xiu had to make up a lie to explain: "He had been to this city before, but I couldn't get in touch with him later. I suspected that he had encountered some supernatural incident, so I asked."
"You should call the police in this situation, not ask me."
Chu Xiu felt relieved by Lu Yanli's words. He knew that he might have deceived the other party, so he agreed. But just when he was relaxed, Lu Yanli continued to ask: "What did he encounter? Maybe I know a little bit."
How could Chu Xiu know? He Lou's hacking skills were quite strong, and he only dug out some information he was willing to reveal through the website account. He pretended to recall and sighed deeply: "I don't know either. Anyway, he later..." He shook his head, as if he didn't dare or want to say anything more.
Lu Yanli was very "considerate" and didn't ask any more questions, and he felt much more relaxed: Chu Xiu didn't know much, and the questions just now were just a test.
So, the next thing to do is to tell Chu Xiu not to talk too much after he returns.
The sky gradually turned pale, and the number of vehicles on the road gradually increased, which made people feel more at ease. Lu Yanli drove to a nearby hospital, and the doctor on duty simply treated their injuries.
Lu Yanli had some scratches on his head and face, but it did not affect his movements. Chu Xiu was different. He was seriously injured and his face turned pale due to blood loss. His legs had been pressed down and a bone pierced through his thigh. After a hasty bandage, the blood still soaked the seat. When he got off the car, he relied on Lu Yanli to help him.
After the wound was bandaged, the two sat in the corridor outside the hospital ward. Chu Xiu looked at the people who had lined up and asked in a low voice: "Can you help me again?"
He couldn't walk normally, let alone climb stairs. It was obvious that it would be dangerous to move around at night. At that time, he couldn't even run. This car accident directly raised his already low mortality rate, but he had no choice but to do it.
It was only now that he completely understood the meaning of Lu Yanli's words: Shi Yan and Nie Yun were "resurrected" without paying a price because of him, so their lives would naturally be taken away. He made too many wishes, and the "price" he paid could not withstand consumption.
"It's impossible for me to die." Lu Yanli refused bluntly.
"No, it's not suicide, it's a deal." Chu Xiu said calmly, "I can feel that you are very interested in the omniscient god. If you help me this time, I will take a statue of the god and live with it for a month. I will also record all the details and use the video as evidence. Moreover, I will pay the price and make a wish in advance so that we can all survive."
He has no one to turn to now, and deceiving ordinary people might increase the difficulty. Only Lu Yanli could help him survive.
Lu Yanli seemed to be moved by his words, with some excitement on his face.
Seeing this, Chu Xiu continued: "What's more, look at my legs, they are like this. If anything happens, you can run away first. And you just need to watch and help me." The game did not have a mandatory number of participants. For various reasons, he also did not want Lu Yanli to participate.
If the other party died accidentally, it would be even more difficult to deal with.
Lu Yanli fell into deep thought.
Chu Xiu did not disturb him, and quietly thought about how to survive at night. After a while, Lu Yanli said, "Deal."
"Let me make it clear first. I don't mind giving you a hand if it doesn't endanger my safety, but if something unexpected happens, I won't be able to save you."
Chu Xiu nodded: "That's enough, thank you."
He didn't tell the other party that as long as he finished the game and walked through four floors, he could end it immediately and return to his own world, so he felt no pressure to say that he could leave him behind and run away. Lu Yanli also didn't tell him that once the last tasker left or died, the danger would be far away from him.
The two men, each with their own ulterior motives, were discussing a seemingly fair deal.
"Since we want to play games, do you have a mirror?" Lu Yanli asked.
Chu Xiu said, "Just buy one later." The mirror needs to be used to reflect one's face, and at the end one needs to write one's name on the mirror with fingertip blood. It goes without saying that the mirror cannot be too small.
He sat for a while, and when the current drip was almost finished, Chu Xiu politely declined the doctor's suggestion of hospitalization and limped out the door on crutches.
The two of them were staying in a hospital not too far from the school, and Chu Xiu went out of his way to buy himself a mirror, which was half the size of a human face, just the right size to be able to take a picture of the whole face without looking too exaggerated.
A black knife that students like to use, but they are afraid that they will find it difficult to bite their fingers.
In addition, he pretended to be a school teacher and rode a small electric scooter directly into the campus to investigate.
Everything is normal.
He set his sights on the teaching building closest to the school's main gate. Everything was ready, just waiting for midnight to arrive.
Just then, the bell rang for the end of get out of class.
Groups of students swarmed out, chattering in groups of three or five, and went to the cafeteria to get food. Many people were confused and thought Chu Xiu was a teacher, and took the initiative to greet him.
Chu Xiu smiled politely, and smiled back like a real teacher.
On the other side, Lu Yanli was also walking on the campus and observing.
The mission was very strange. The previous missions either did not specify a designated location or chose to be in the underworld road. Why did they choose a seemingly unrelated school this time? What was so special about this school
He couldn't figure it out.
Just as he was about to go back, the conversation between two girls passing by caught his attention.
"Hey, did you hear? Those people who went to play hide-and-seek yesterday are back, and they got a thousand dollars."
"Well, they said it wasn't scary at all, and they came back after they were done playing."
"I want to go, too. If I had known, I would have gone with you yesterday."
…
Lu Yanli didn't hear more of the conversation, but he was deeply shocked by that sentence.
Are those students who played hide-and-seek yesterday back
Needless to say, he also knew how strange this "return" was. Who knew what was coming back
Lu Yanli turned around, but the two girls had already walked into the crowd, and he couldn't tell who they were. He had to think again.
There was a column of outstanding students on campus, and Lu Yanli walked straight over. He had a good memory and could easily remember the list of students who participated last night.
He didn't even have to look for it deliberately, as Wen Qing's photo and name were particularly eye-catching on the campus bulletin board.
"Wen Qing, Senior Grade 11, her study record is..."
Lu Yanli read the message carefully and left. He also planned to walk around the campus to find out what was going on.
It was the end of school, the campus was particularly lively, and the aroma of food wafted from the cafeteria. Lu Yanli went against the flow of people into the teaching building, and most of the students had already left.
He looked at each classroom one by one and found nothing unusual, so he had to leave temporarily.
What Lu Yanli didn't notice was that when he turned around and left, his figure was reflected on the glass window.
That shadow... turned out to be a pile of white bones!
The wind blew in through the window, knocking a pencil case off a student's desk. Lu Yanli looked over in the direction of the sound, and the scene on the glass window returned to normal.
In the afternoon, the students went back to class. Lu Yanli and Chu Xiu reunited and separated again after a brief conversation. Lu Yanli pretended to be a faculty member and walked openly in the corridor of the teaching building.
Senior 11th Class…
According to the distribution of teaching buildings, senior high school classes (1) to (11) are all on the fourth floor of the building. Especially class 11, which is located at the end of the corridor. There is a staircase on the side of the classroom. It is always a bit noisy after class, and the lighting is not very good.
At this moment, class 11 was in session. Lu Yanli stood at the stairs, looking straight through the window in the middle of the classroom wall.
He immediately spotted Wen Qing sitting in the middle of the classroom. He was wearing a school uniform, writing furiously with his head down, and looked no different from an ordinary high school student.
Lu Yanli took a look, turned around and went back to the teacher's office.
"Hello, is our homeroom teacher Wen Qing here?" He knocked on the door.
Suddenly, all the various voices inside stopped abruptly, and a voice came saying, "Come in."
Lu Yanli walked in.
He brought his work ID and asked the class teacher a lot of questions about Wen Qingyi on the pretext of "investigating the family life of outstanding students on campus."
He also asked a lot of other outstanding students about their study and life. Lu Yanli usually doesn't like to talk, but when he talks, he can be a champion in insurance sales. Unfortunately, he didn't get anything out of the teachers.
"Thank you all for your cooperation. By the way, I have another small question. Yesterday on the school forum, I saw someone post a message asking students to play hide-and-seek on the Yinming Road. Are there really any students who went there?"
Teacher Li's face suddenly changed: "No! Where did you see it?!" Thinking that the other party was a reporter and couldn't be offended, he might say something nonsense again, so Teacher Li quickly changed his words, "I don't know where that post came from. It's obvious that it was a scam. Our students are very obedient and concentrate on their studies. No one went there."
"Really? But I heard some students at school..."
"Who! Which student is talking about this?!" Teacher Li was furious and slammed the table. "We have already clarified this matter a long time ago. Mr. Lu, can you tell us who is still talking about this? We must punish such students."
The other teachers in the office also nodded.
"That's right, it's outrageous."
"Those students study so hard every day, so they just like to talk about something exciting and have fun. Whether we checked yesterday or the parents gave us feedback, they all returned home on time. I hope there won't be any more rumors like this..."
The harmonious atmosphere that had been created with great difficulty was instantly broken, and several teachers were about to write the words "show you up" on their faces. Lu Yanli had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.
A cool breeze blew and he suddenly reacted.
So who were those two girls they were discussing? Why did he have no impression of their faces
Now it seems that not only Wen Qing has problems, but the entire school has abnormalities.
In the office, the atmosphere gradually improved as Lu Yanli left.
Teacher Li asked anxiously: "What should we do? Another reporter is here to ask questions."
Others smiled and comforted him: "It's okay, our principal will take care of it. Over the years, which reporter dared to tell others? Don't worry."
Teacher Li was still a little uneasy, and stood up in a hurry: "I will go to the class and emphasize it again. If any bastard dares to tell others, I will punish him to death."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
After seeing Teacher Li leave, the other teachers in the office became leisurely, drinking tea, correcting homework and preparing lessons.
They all knew that once someone dared to come to the school to investigate the affairs of the underworld, that person would most likely not live long.
