Regardless of the fact that the class was in progress, Teacher Li interrupted the class, warned all the students in the class, and then went upstairs to the principal's office.
"Principal, look... someone else is here to inquire." Teacher Li said respectfully to the figure sitting in front of the French window, "One of them is still a memory, and the other one's identity is unknown. I guess he also wants to expose himself."
The principal said without even turning his head: "Do you still need me to teach you this kind of thing? But you're new here, so you may not have experience. Just ask other teachers in the office."
"Okay, okay."
"Also, if there are students going to that place in the future, you will know what to do, right?"
"I see. Students are under a lot of pressure from studying, so it's normal for them to go out and relax. Teachers don't need to intervene too much."
"Really? That's right." The principal blew out a smoke ring and spoke meaningfully.
Hearing that the principal was happy, Teacher Li was also very happy. After giving a few compliments, he closed the door and left.
Inside the office, the principal put out his cigarette, stood up, walked to the bookcase next to him, stretched out his hand and opened the door of the bookcase. There was a different world inside, with a shrine placed on it.
The bright red statue on the shrine hardly reminds people of the title of "God". In fact, it is difficult for humans to describe its appearance in words, as if, after it was carved from a piece of wood into this shape, it no longer looks like something that should exist in the world. At first glance, words such as twisted, weird, and grotesque will emerge in your mind, which is creepy.
The principal bowed down respectfully to the statue with a pious and fanatical look.
Not long after, a man knocked on the door and entered.
"Principal, I checked and found that this Lu Yanli is really a journalist. He is said to be very capable at work and has exposed several private hospitals for buying and selling patients' organs."
A smile slowly appeared on the principal's face: "If that's the case, I don't need to teach you what to do, right?"
The man nodded: "Okay, I'll make arrangements now and let the students leave school early today."
In the afternoon, Chu Xiu and Lu Yanli met up and exchanged information.
"I always feel that there is something wrong with this school." They sat in a restaurant opposite the school and stared at the school gate opposite.
The school was in class at this time, and it was quiet and nothing seemed unusual. But Chu Xiu felt that the silence at this moment was just like a wild beast lurking in the night, ready to eat anyone at any time.
Lu Yanli said: "I went to inquire about 'that person' today, but their teacher's reaction was strange, as if he was afraid of something, not like he was unaware of it." After that, he described his experience in detail.
After hearing what he said, Chu Xiu also frowned.
"Well, these teachers know it, but what about the students? What about the principal? Including the leaders behind the school, maybe they also..." Chu Xiu raised the question, but his tone was firm.
Why is this mission so special? The shadow of the so-called "omniscient God" is everywhere. The previous games caused the time and space disorder effect. Will this time also produce the time and space turbulence phenomenon
Before he knew it, he asked this question.
Ghosts are omnipotent in missions and can even take people to another time and space... Chu Xiu shook his head and threw away other distracting thoughts in his mind.
Lu Yanli was also deep in thought.
He needs to know the experiences of all the mission executors to compare, otherwise he will not go on adventures again and again. Each mission is strange and confusing, but as long as you find the pattern, it is easy to break through.
Thinking about previous tasks, Lu Yanli's brows unconsciously furrowed slightly.
In the past, as long as you find the pattern hidden under the strange mission, it is easy to break the situation. For example, in the Red River Village incident mentioned above, you only need to get the village chief to prove that they have lived there for a month, and then you can escape. But what about this time
Time and space are disordered, and they are trapped in a vicious cycle. They have no idea whether their current behavior will have an impact on the future or whether it will affect the past. But what is certain is that there is an invisible hand controlling everything behind the scenes.
Otherwise, after Chu Xiu had figured out the rules after several deaths, he finally chose the right path. They had clearly left Wen Qing, but they had to return to this school because of the mission behind them.
Was it his illusion? In the past, missions involved at most a few dozen people, but later on, more and more people were involved, and the scope became larger and larger.
Will it spread to the whole country or the whole world someday
When that day really comes, what is the difference between the mission world and the world in which I live normally
Also, as an omniscient God, he would definitely not have missed such anomalies in the past, so why did he ignore them so many times
"What did you think of?" Chu Xiu asked.
Lu Yanli came back to his senses and hinted, "I want to know something. Why do you want to play such a game? Who is forcing you?"
Chu Xiu has become accustomed to completing missions again and again. In the early days, he also wanted to find the secrets behind the missions, but as the time to complete the missions increased, he fell deeper and deeper into despair.
Just keep living.
The secret behind it... Even ordinary ghosts are not something they can resist. Is it really useful to explore the truth of the mission that can manipulate ghosts
Therefore, after listening to Lu Yanli's question, Chu Xiu didn't care too much and just shook his head: "I can't say."
There had been kind-hearted taskers who tried to reveal information to the residents of this world, but they all ended up dead without exception.
Chu Xiu just finished answering when he suddenly felt something was wrong. With Lu Yanli's wisdom, he must have guessed something. Why would he ask such a useless question
etc!
What Lu Yanli meant was...
What is the relationship between this god and the mission
Chu Xiu suddenly came back to his senses, looking at the other person with doubt and uncertainty. Thinking about the meaning of his words, Chu Xiu couldn't help but shiver.
He couldn't think too much... Otherwise, he was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on.
After a long silence, Lu Yanli asked, "Should we go in now, or wait until night?"
Soon, the afternoon school will be over, and students will have evening self-study in the evening. Although it is risky to enter the school, you may be able to observe something.
The school leaders all gave him a dangerous feeling. If he went in rashly, conflicts might arise.
At this moment, Lu Yanli's cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that the caller ID was from an unknown number.
After hesitating for a while, he decided to answer the call. It turned out to be Wen Qing's homeroom teacher, Ms. Li. After she explained in detail that her students had absolutely nothing to do with religion, she extended an invitation and asked him when he would come for an interview again.
School, teacher's office.
Teacher Li turned on the speakerphone of his cell phone, and all the other teachers in the office pricked up their ears to listen.
Teacher Li: "If you really want to interview me, our school's evening self-study is also a feature. You can come and have a look."
The person on the other side seemed to hesitate for a moment and said, "Then what time should I come in the evening?"
"Nine o'clock is fine. Students are in their third evening self-study period at this time. If you come, you can call me and I will pick you up at the school gate."
Lu Yanli agreed.
After hanging up the phone, the two parties had completely different reactions. In the office, everyone looked at each other with a tacit understanding.
The school was running out of students, but it wasn't the recruitment season yet, and suddenly two reporters showed up? It was like timely rain that came to our doorstep.
"Hey, Lao Zhang, are the tools ready?" Teacher Li couldn't contain her excitement. She had just started working, and only now did she finally feel a sense of inclusion in group activities.
Lao Zhang: "It's ready. I'll give it to everyone now. By the way, Mr. Li may not have experience, so just use a smaller knife."
Teacher Li was anxious: "Isn't this underestimating me? I clearly remember there was still a chainsaw."
"That's fine." Lao Zhang dragged the box around the office, fished out a small electric saw from underneath and handed it over. "Be careful not to leave too many marks, or we'll lose points when we sweep the sanitation area the next day."
The other teachers also talked about it, and each received their own tools to prepare for the group activities in the evening.
"Hey, tell me, they won't run away, will they?"
"No, it's okay. The shop owner is a relative of Teacher Wang, they are keeping an eye on it."
"It's still a little unsafe. Let's ask the students on duty to stand guard outside the school and keep an eye on it."
"That's fine."
On the other end of the phone, in the hotel, Lu Yanli hung up the phone, still with a relaxed smile on his face, but he changed the subject and talked about his travel experience. His hand was typing on the memo, and he gently pushed it over, signaling Chu Xiu to read it carefully.
[We've been discovered, be careful, the people in the store might be watching us]
Chu Xiu's pupils shrank, and he began to agree, tapping the other person's phone with his fingertips very naturally.
"That place? I've been there too, it's so beautiful..."
[How do you know?]
Lu Yanli: "It's just that the prices are too high. I've only lived here for a few days..."
[Just now on the phone, Teacher Li said he would pick us up at the school gate]
Lu Yanli acted alone, why did Teacher Li say "them"
If the phone kept pushing and pulling, it would easily arouse suspicion. Chu Xiu did not answer it and asked directly: "I am planning to go there too. What time did I buy the ticket? Do you have any suggestions?"
"It's nine o'clock. I brought a lot of tools with me because we're going to climb a mountain, just in case."
"Are there many people?"
Lu Yanli paused and nodded: "There are many, very crowded." He paused and asked, "It's the peak tourist season recently, are you sure you want to go?"
Chu Xiu nodded solemnly.
After sitting for a while, they got up and left.
On the roadside in front of the school gate, there were dozens of students in school uniforms with red armbands, evenly distributed on both sides of the road, apparently on duty.
Seeing them come out, many students immediately turned their eyes to them. After realizing something was wrong, they withdrew their gazes and looked at them from all directions with concealed eyes.
Chu Xiu had an injury on his leg, and he barely endured it when he went to investigate in the morning. Now Lu Yanli helped him walk, lowering his voice, almost speaking in lip language: "It looks like we probably won't be able to wait until midnight."
"Do you want to leave first?" Chu Xiu asked in a low voice.
As they were talking, they had already arrived at their parking space and were surprised to find, as expected, that one of their tires was punctured.
Chu Xiu smiled bitterly: "We can't leave now."
If nothing unexpected happens, there will probably be someone watching the hotel they are staying in.
Lu Yanli didn't care too much, he looked around and said, "Let's take a break."
The agreed time was after nine o'clock in the evening. As long as I didn't show my intention to escape, they would not act in advance. Otherwise, the waiter in the store just gave them some drugs, which would be enough to send them on their way.
There are still four hours until nine o'clock in the evening.
"Have they been in the car the whole time? Didn't they leave?" In the office, several teachers were puzzled after hearing the report.
"Yes, they were resting in the car. A student went to sweep the floor and saw the lame one sleeping in the back seat, while the other one was sitting in the front seat playing games."
"strangeness… "
"Wait until the students finish school in the evening. Let's end the get out of class early today." Another senior teacher held a long-handled axe in his hand and swung it twice to get a feel for it. "Let those students take something with them. Don't let them run away."
"Everyone remember, this must be handled before midnight." The Dean of Studies was also in this office. He emphasized all the school rules, "After midnight, absolutely no sound can be made."
"Understood." The teachers responded in unison.
Chu Xiu was lying on his side in the back seat with his coat covering his face. He seemed to be sleeping, but in fact he was hiding under his coat and communicating with Lu Yanli.
"I just checked. There are a lot of problems with this school. The chairman is the principal. He has a very powerful background. In short, he originally contracted several local projects, but they all ended up in failure. Later, I don't know how he took over the No. 4 Middle School. I found some reports of his corruption, but those reports were basically suppressed. Those reporters have all disappeared without exception."
They said they were missing, but both of them knew very well that they were most likely murdered.
What a coincidence, the name Lu Yanli used was reporter interview.
"So, what is so shameful about this school that made the principal willing to kill him? Also, what is his background? Those reporters disappeared and it didn't cause any waves."
Chu Xiu didn't want to care about these things. He just wanted to complete the game. But if he really just left like this and left Lu Yanli alone, would he be able to handle it
At first, he wasn't the kind of person who would sit by and watch someone die without helping, but then that incident happened... Until now, whether for Lu Yanli's own value or for some other reason, Chu Xiu needed him to survive.
The taskers did not go to the same world for every mission. He did not know when he would enter this world next time, but he more or less hoped that he could find the other party the next time he entered.
Lu Yanli has a big secret, perhaps this secret is exactly what he needs to find out.
Lu Yanli replied: "Not only is there a problem with the school's hosting, but there are also problems with the annual financial revenue and expenditure."
Just now, they found that many teaching buildings were old buildings with no signs of renovation. Many classes still use blackboards and chalk for classes. However, the hardware investment data released by the school every year is not less at all. I just don't know where all the money is spent.
"The salaries and bonuses of many teachers in the school are very strange and polarized. New teachers with no background get very little."
In other words, veteran teachers with backgrounds can get a lot.
"There is something wrong with the atmosphere in the school." Chu Xiu had browsed their school forum and it was hard to imagine how a group of students could have such strong malice. However, no one could tell from the surface that when he entered the school today, many students took the initiative to help him.
The sky gradually darkened.
Chu Xiu looked up a lot of information and vaguely understood what the school principal had done. He lifted his coat and sat up. The scene he saw made his heart stop.
Outside the car, there were students standing on both sides, staring straight inside through the glass windows. Chu Xiu was facing the pale faces illuminated by the street lights outside the glass window, and the handprints squeezed out on the window. He turned his head to look at the front row.
What was even more terrifying than the students outside the window was that Lu Yanli was lying on the steering wheel, motionless.
Seeing him wake up, the students standing outside the window dispersed one after another. Chu Xiu immediately called the other person's name, but there was no response, so he reached out to push him.
After pushing him several times, the other party finally raised his head. His appearance was clearly reflected in the rearview mirror. His face was pale and blood was flowing from the corners of his eyes, slowly sliding down his face like two lines of blood and tears.
"What's wrong?" Chu Xiu was surprised.
Lu Yanli didn't take it seriously. He found something wrong with himself in the mirror, so he took a tissue to wipe it clean. His expression was as cold as ever: "Nothing, I just made a wish."
"What did it cost?"
Lu Yanli pointed at his eyes, shook his head and did not answer.
"It's almost time, let's go." Lu Yanli opened the car door and got out. Chu Xiu wanted to ask more questions, but had to shut up and get out and follow him.
The cold wind was biting, and the outline of the school was not clear in the dark night. The two crossed the zebra crossing and walked towards the school gate.
Teacher Li was already waiting at the school gate. She changed her previous bad attitude and became overly enthusiastic, actively inviting them to sit in her office.
"No, we want to look around the school and tour it." Lu Yanli said calmly, looking at the dark area of the school except for the teaching building, "The school scenery is very nice."
"I'm glad you like it. Please give us more valuable suggestions for the school, Mr. Lu." Teacher Li smiled. Seeing that Chu Xiu had difficulty walking, she took the initiative to help him. "If it's inconvenient for you to walk, please go to our office and sit down. It's cold, so have a cup of hot tea."
Lu Yanli looked up at the lighted teaching building and said with embarrassment: "Excuse me, which floor is your office on?"
"Fifth floor." At this point, Teacher Li also realized something was wrong and continued, "It's okay. We also have junior high school teachers' offices on the first floor. Come and sit down on the first floor."
Chu Xiu and Lu Yanli did not refute, and supported each other into the office. Teacher Li was busy pouring water, and two cups of steaming hot tea were placed in disposable paper cups.
"Since Mr. Lu has difficulty walking, how about this? Mr. Lu, please rest here, and then Mr. Lu, come with me to take a look?"
Lu Yanli and Chu Xiu's eyes exchanged quickly, and Chu Xiu nodded slightly. Seeing that he seemed able to protect himself, Lu Yanli agreed and followed Teacher Li out the door.
Chu Xiu followed behind them and leaned against the door. He looked around and seemed to feel cold, so he went back to the office and closed the door.
After returning to the room, Chu Xiu immediately locked the door and pushed a few heavy desks against the door. The windows on the upper floor were equipped with anti-theft nets, but he was still worried and planned to push a row of tall bookcases against the door.
This push caused problems.
After the bookcase was moved away, a closet was hollowed out in the wall that should have been pure white. It was made to look like a shrine, and on it was a bright red statue.
Chu Xiu's brain buzzed and he pushed the bookcase back to its original position. His leg was still injured. The bookcase and desk were not light. The wound on his leg was almost broken open and it hurt a lot. After Chu Xiu took a breath, he searched the office for tools that could be used.
He gave one of his guns to Lu Yanli and kept the other one for himself, but only had a few bullets left. The blade of the metal knife he carried with him was not long, so it could only be used for close-range defense. Chu Xiu searched for a long time and simply cut off the legs of a desk with a knife. He waved it in his hand and found it quite handy. Then, he dragged a chair over and sat down, his eyes fixed on the door.
“Boom boom boom.”
There was a knock on the door.
The staircase of the teaching building was at the end of the corridor. Lu Yanli followed Teacher Li up the stairs. What surprised him was that although the lights were on in the classrooms, he did not hear any sounds of students.
Even though it's evening self-study, it's too quiet.
He stopped.
Teacher Li stood on a high place and looked down, smiling: "Mr. Lu, why don't you leave? The second-year students are still up there."
Lu Yanli said calmly: "What grade is this? I can take a look here."
Teacher Li's face changed: "That's the junior high school, they have finished school a long time ago." She tried to go over to stop him, but she didn't expect Lu Yanli to turn around and run downstairs. He was so fast that he disappeared in a few seconds.
On the floor above her, several heads popped out.
"What happened? Did he notice something was wrong?"
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and chase him."
"Teacher Wang and Teacher Liu are squatting on the second floor. They should be able to block it."
To be on the safe side, they let the students leave school early today, using the excuse that the school gate was under maintenance, and asked all students to leave through the back door. They also specifically reminded them not to turn off the lights in the classroom. But unexpectedly, Lu Yanli did not fall for it and ran away immediately.
A dozen people rushed down the stairs, holding various prohibited weapons.
Teacher Li was furious. This was her first time participating in a group activity, and she let the students run away? She took the small electric saw from another teacher and ran with the group.
"Strange, where did the people go?"
At the stairs on the second floor, two teachers were lying on the ground wailing.
Lu Yanli rushed downstairs, and was met with a wooden stick as thick as an arm. He dodged and hit the man in the face with his elbow. A knife appeared in his palm and stabbed the man's wrist. The man screamed and his hand loosened involuntarily. Lu Yanli took the stick and turned around to knock out the man who attacked him from behind.
In less than a minute, Lu Yanli reloaded the two men with sticks and ran downstairs quickly. When the main force arrived, he had already disappeared.
"He must have gone to look for his accomplice. Hurry! Go over there quickly."
"I told the security guards to guard the door and not let anyone out. They shouldn't be able to escape."
"Didn't Da Zhang go to the lower floor to look for his accomplice? The one with the surname Chu."
The group continued to run downstairs. To their surprise, Lu Yanli didn't care about his accomplices at all. At the door of the office on the first floor, Teacher Zhang was still kicking the door. Seeing that all his colleagues had gone downstairs, Teacher Zhang looked a little embarrassed: "He locked it from the inside. He must have found something to block it. I can't open it."
"Get up and push it open with force." said another physical education teacher.
The two men slammed the door, and other teachers shouted at Chu Xiu to open it.
Inside the door, Chu Xiu piled a lot of sundries behind the door.
The pain in his legs was unbearable. Chu Xiu didn't say anything. He locked the windows on both sides and drew the curtains, so that he couldn't see inside from the outside. He lay by the wall and listened to their conversation carefully, knowing that Lu Yanli should have escaped by now.
What should I do then
Just then, he suddenly heard another mechanical sound.
Oops! Why do they even have chainsaws
After Lu Yanli knocked down the two men at the staircase, he pretended to go downstairs, but actually jumped out of the window at the staircase in the middle of the second floor. He deliberately wore the dark clothes in the car and landed on the grass outside the teaching building. No one noticed him. Then, he went around to the front and quietly lay in the flowerbed to observe.
The group of people blocked the door of the office on the first floor. It seemed that Chu Xiu had used some method to block the door so that they could not get in. They could only knock on the door from outside. After knocking on the door, Teacher Li came down with a chainsaw, and they tried to open the door with the chainsaw.
Do you want to help him
Lu Yanli fell into deep thought, recalling the school distribution map in his mind, and decided to continue observing.
The electric saw was pulled hard, and a big hole was slowly sawed open in the wooden door.
If Chu Xiu was standing by the door, he would be killed on the spot.
"Someone must have leaked the news, otherwise why would he block the door?"
"Ah! My desk! Director, remember to reimburse me when the time comes!"
"What should I do? I've sawed the door open, but I can't get in. The inside is blocked by tables."
"Then let's do the windows!" The tall and strong physical education teacher took the electric saw and started cutting the metal security windows.
There was nothing blocking them behind the window, and the group of people successfully took down the security window and climbed in through the window. Lu Yanli vaguely heard their exclamations again.
"Where are the people? Where did they go?"
"Impossible! I've been standing guard at the door, but no one has come out."
"Everyone, hurry up and look for him. We can't let him go!"
Lu Yanli also felt strange. Where could Chu Xiu go? Is there a secret passage in the office
It shouldn't be.
He continued to look at the window, and suddenly felt a chill on his back, then he turned his head back abruptly.
On the roof of the teaching building behind him, a light was on and a figure was standing in front of the window.
The pitch-black night blocked people's vision, but Lu Yanli knew that the man must be staring at him!
He immediately ran away from his original position. When Lu Yanli ran away, other teachers also reacted and immediately followed him, chasing closely.
"Don't run! Stop now!"
"You can't run away!"
"Now tell us who sent you, and we won't chase you!"
"Where did your accomplice go? Tell us clearly!"
Hearing his accomplice's words, Lu Yanli thought of something, and he continued to run across the campus. Just as others were following closely behind him, a gunshot rang out, echoing across the campus.
Lu Yanli put away his gun and continued running forward without looking back. Nearly a hundred meters behind him, a teacher was wailing in pain, holding his leg.
"He actually brought a gun." The teachers were all shocked.
"It's illegal to carry a gun, did you know that?"
"How dare you kill someone?! Stop now!"
Lu Yanli turned a deaf ear.
After checking the campus several times during the day, he was very familiar with the campus environment. The layout of this school was also quite strange, with winding roads, uneven buildings, and almost no straight roads, which was very awkward. But now it made it easier for Lu Yanli to escape.
He turned around and fired.
This time it hit another male teacher in the leg.
Lu Yanli didn't bother to listen to the wailing and cursing behind him. After circling a few times, he suddenly accelerated and left the crowd chasing him behind. Then, he returned to the teaching building where he had just noticed someone staring at him, and ran up the stairs quickly.
Who is the person who saw himself
His intuition told him that the answer was very important.
Chu Xiu hid in a dark and closed corner, not daring to make a sound. What made him so nervous was not the people searching for him in the closet.
Beside him was a bright red statue of a deity.
Chu Xiu almost pressed himself tightly against the wall, not daring to touch anything. Outside the bookcase, the group of people were still searching everywhere, and suddenly, half of them ran away, apparently chasing after someone else.
Lu Yanli led them away
Chu Xiu was a little skeptical, but there seemed to be no other explanation at the moment.
A few minutes later, he heard a gunshot, and a few minutes later, another gunshot, which made him more certain of his guess.
Of course, he hoped that the shooting was intentional by the other party to divert others, rather than a desperate move.
Hearing that there was no sound outside, Chu Xiu moved his steps cautiously.
The statue, which was less than twenty centimeters away from him, exuded endless coldness.
Chu Xiu moved the bookcase little by little, and when he opened a gap, the light from outside poured in.
His mind exploded with a buzzing sound.
Outside the gap that was pushed open, a face suddenly came forward and was staring at him without blinking, with a smile on his face.
“I found you!”
It turned out that Teacher Li had been in this office the whole time and had not left. She heard a noise coming from the bookcase and realized something was wrong, so she waited outside the bookcase with a chainsaw in hand.
She hoped to make a contribution and integrate into the teaching staff of No. 4 Middle School, so she did not invite anyone else to come.
There was a loud "bang".
An incredible expression appeared on that excited face. She was shot in the thigh and fell slowly.
The gun was fired, and the position was naturally exposed. Chu Xiu didn't care about anything and pushed hard. The bookcase that was as tall as a person collapsed and pressed down on Teacher Li's lower body.
Chu Xiu grabbed the chainsaw from the other party and quickly left. Not long after he ran away, a group of people came running over.
"What's going on? Is that person back?"
"Xiao Li? Xiao Li, are you okay?"
"Oh my God! This, this is..."
They immediately spotted the shrine behind the bookcase. The statue was as red as blood. They immediately knelt down respectfully before preparing to save people.
Several people worked together to lift half of the bookcase, and another person dragged Teacher Li out from under the bookcase. The latter's legs were bleeding profusely, and the white bones were exposed through the skin. It was obvious that the injury was serious, so they had to send another person to take her to the hospital.
Teacher Li said weakly: "That guy was hiding behind the bookcase just now. Also, he took the electric saw away. We must be careful."
"Got it. Don't worry about it now."
"We must avenge this abominable creature."
"They both carry guns. What should I do?"
The dean thought deeply and said, "Well, Lao Luo will take the people to the hospital, I will ask the principal, and the others can continue."
Mr. Luo agreed, carried Ms. Li on his back and walked out, ready to drive her to the hospital. The others scattered and continued their search.
Just as Chu Xiu was holding the chainsaw and enduring the pain while hiding around, Lu Yanli finally arrived at the top floor and stood outside the office door.
This is the principal's office. It seems that the person who was peeping just now might be the principal.
He knocked on the door.
Perhaps because he didn't expect the other party to come directly to his door, no sound came from inside the door.
Lu Yanli continued to knock on the door.
The cold night air made his brain, which had been heated by the intense exercise, somewhat clearer. He clenched the butt of the gun with one hand and continued to knock on the door with the wooden stick in the other.
"Is anyone there?" Lu Yanli continued to ask.
He took back the gun, put his hand on the door handle and turned it gently.
The door opened.
Lu Yanli did not go in, but pushed the door hard, took two steps back quickly, and raised his gun vigilantly.
No one.
The office was brightly lit, and a steaming cup of tea could be seen on the desk. The curtains and windows were open, so the man must have been standing there and peeping.
Lu Yanli walked in slowly. As soon as he entered the office, he felt a chill.
I don't know where this chill came from, it climbed up every inch of my skin and almost chilled my heart to the core.
Where are the people
His eyes darted around, searching for places where people might be hiding.
Not anywhere.
His eyes lingered on the wide-open window for a moment, and Lu Yanli's heart skipped a beat. He immediately went to the window and looked down.
