After a week of military training, I finally had time to rest, and I lay on the sofa all day and didn't want to move.

In the past two days, no one has asked for leave, and all members have participated in military training, and there has never been too many people. We also gradually began to wonder if Liang Tianyu was making a bit of a fuss.

After all, everyone trained together that day, and who wouldn't see that there was an extra stranger.

But Liang Tianyu still insisted that there was a problem here, and we continued to do the work of writing down everyone's names, anyway, everyone will be classmates in the future, and it doesn't hurt to know each other early.

Something went wrong, and the strange phenomenon of an extra person in the queue happened again.

Today is Teacher's Day, in the afternoon, Liang Tianyu took three girls outside to choose Teacher's Day gifts for instructors and counselors, and the others stayed to continue military training.

Zero separated the boys and girls and demonstrated the essentials of running in the middle of the queue, and I saw that the girls on the opposite side were supposed to be three rows of 8 people, but there was one more person in the third row.

I remember that when Liang Tianyu left, he obviously took three girls with him, and I even remembered who those three girls were, if there was really one more person, I would definitely be able to find her.

But after looking at the opposite team of girls for a long time, I finally found that I knew all 25 girls present.

I recognized everyone, and I wondered if I was mistaken, Liang Tianyu only took two girls. But the fact is that when Liang Tianyu came back. There were obviously three people behind him. And I also know these three girls, it seems that I have never seen them in the team before.

In other words, I know 28 female freshmen from special colleges, and the truth is that there are only 27 female freshmen, so it's hard to tell who is more!

After the training, the whole team became a neat 9X9 phalanx again, and the extra person seemed to evaporate.

Finally managed to get through to the end of the training, I found Liang Tianyu as soon as possible, and planned to tell him about the problems I found, but I didn't want Jing Han to tell the story of the extra person in the queue first.

I thought at the time. Everyone has found out about the problem. Whoever says it is the same, just listen to it together. But then the more I listened, the more wrong it became.

Jing Han actually said that after Liang Tianyu left, there was one more person in the boys' team.

I see one more girl. She saw that there was one more boy. Doesn't that mean there are two more people in the team!

It's messed up. It's a complete mess.

When we are in the ranks, it is difficult to find out the number of people, especially when there are people who do not participate in military training. If the queue is not neat, it is even more difficult to detect which row has more people and which row has fewer people. The only one who could detect changes in numbers was our instructor Zero, but he never paid attention to this matter, and just trained us according to the established procedures.

The investigation of the incident of multiple people in the military training queue has reached an impasse.

Starting this morning, I, Liang Tianyu, Fat Man, Li Su and Jing Han, the five of us took turns to take leave and stood in the playground stands to observe the changes in the queue of the special college.

Occasionally, there would be a difference in numbers, but every time we tried to find out where there were more people, we didn't wait to see the whole picture, and the formation returned to normal again.

The only thing that can play a role is the photo taken by Li Su with his mobile phone, but there are redundant people in the team when the photo is taken, but there is no problem with the photo taken, there are as many people as there are.

Later, we asked Zero for help, stopped training immediately the moment we found the problem, and then called the count, and the result was tossed all the time, except for finding a gap in the team that I didn't know how to form, we couldn't get any desired results at all.

Saturday, September 13, 2008, cloudy

It's rare that it's cloudy today, and the weather is not so hot, I thought it would be a little better during military training, but who knows, the school arranged the "Student Management Regulations" exam today.

Students from ordinary colleges are selected according to the proportion of 2%, while students from special colleges are fully participated.

The three-hour exam, nearly 200 multiple-choice questions are dizzy, and I really don't understand what can happen even if I pass this kind of exam. If we memorize all the rules of the school, will it help us find a good job in the future?

……

Monday, September 15, 2008, rain

After two days of cloudy, it finally rained, and it was a good day to not have to stand under the scorching sun to "take a break and stand upright".

All of us had been singing military songs with Zero in the classroom all day, and I heard that a "military song loud" competition would be held in the school auditorium this Sunday. As soon as I heard the word "loud and bright", I knew that the competition was not about who sang well, but who shouted loudly.

……

Wednesday, September 17, 2008, fine

After a week of calm, personnel issues began to bother us again.

First of all, the military training queue, it rained two days ago, many people caught a cold, and the number of people who took leave and did not come to participate in military training began to soar, but the number of people in our phalanx did not decrease much.

Liang Tianyu occasionally applied for probationary training to observe the training situation, and from time to time he would find that the number of people who should arrive and the number of people who actually arrived were different. There may be fewer other colleges, but we are always in a state of multiples here.

The second is the singing formation, to participate in the "Military Song Loud and Bright" competition, we have to rearrange a formation used when singing. Under normal circumstances, it is not a problem for 81 people to simply discharge a singing queue, the first two rows of girls are 13+14, and the last three rows of boys are 17+18+19, which is perfect. But every time the standing position is arranged, Liang Tianyu, the person in charge of queuing, becomes redundant.

If everything happens once or twice, everyone's patience will pass, but if a problem bothers people for too long, the wooden head will also get angry.

Liang Tianyu was really angry this time, waiting for the first day of rehearsal to end. When everyone else went back to the dorm to rest, he called a few of us to stay and put a lot of materials in our hands.

The materials he had obtained from the counselor contained the personal information of all 81 students of the Special Academy. Liang Tianyu firmly believes that this kind of problem of many people in the queue must be caused by a new student, and he asked us to help him find clues from the personal information of these people to determine who caused this series of troubles.

I don't know what Jinghan thinks, but I'm happy to do it, because I'm alone in the office every night. Facing cats, dogs, birds, monkeys, these things. It's so boring, and it's nice to be able to read other people's stories.

So, when I go back to the office in the evening, I have a new pastime.

……

……

Just now I saw the information of Jing Han, Liang Tianyu and Li Su. Can't help but want to jot something down. Their identity remarks were marked with the words "Descendant of the Witch Dao", "Descendant of the Righteous Path", and "Descendant of the False Path". I don't know where these titles come from. But it feels like it has a long history.

……

After reading the information, I didn't find the target I wanted for the first time, but sorted out a lot of "XX heirs". Only now found out. It turned out that the special college of Tiandao University did not accept students randomly, at least one-third of them had any special relationship, or they were specially sent here because they knew the existence of Tiandao University.

If you look at it this way, the ghost village is not a secret that no one knows to the outside world, and there are many people who know the existence of the ghost village, but these people themselves are just a mystery.

……

I looked at the information for the second time, and there were five people who felt more suspicious.

These five people don't belong to any special people, they were just ordinary high school students before they came to the ghost village, and the reason why they were selected was because they relied on intuition, and on the other hand, because these five people came to the ghost village by themselves.

Most of the students of the Special College of Tiandao University are recruited from various places when the school shuttle bus goes out to wander every year, including lonely ghosts on the road, living people who are dying after natural and man-made disasters, school-age teenagers who have been ready to come to Tiandao University for a long time, and even people like me and the fat man who accidentally crashed into the car.

Either way, there is no doubt that everyone came on the school bus, but the five people I found came here by themselves through the outer passage that connected the ghost village.

You must know that the passages left in the outside world in the human ghost village are all located in some mysterious and strange places, and it is absolutely impossible for anyone to go there by themselves, and they must have friends or relatives accompanying them. When they arrived at the ghost village, the people around them were gone, which was enough to prove that something unknown had happened to them.

Discuss it with Liang Tianyu and them tomorrow to see what they think.

Thursday, September 18, 2008, fine

It's ten o'clock in the evening, and I'm in the dean's office at the Spirit Academy, and I've just finished washing my clothes, and I feel ...... It's cool!

Since Mr. Li knew that I might live in his office for a long time, he occasionally came back to buy some electrical appliances and furniture, and today the washing machine has arrived, and I don't have to wash clothes by hand anymore, so it is worth it for me to live here for four years. Ha ha......

Uh, of course, it would be better if you could get in bed every night.

There is one thing, I have to confess, since the problem of many people in the military training team, the reason why I am so enthusiastic to help Liang Tianyu find out the truth is actually to seek a bed of my own in the dormitory through this incident.

Because every time there are more people in the queue, nine times out of ten it is the boys' side that has a problem, I think it must be someone from the boys. Isn't this a dangerous person once this person is found, and such a person will definitely be purged from the special academy, and then I can take his place in the dormitory.

I don't know if it's right or not, but I just did it according to my own idea. Now, though, I'm not that motivated. Because, who can refuse a single dormitory with a washing machine?

Of course, it's not all about the accommodation, today the instructor "Zero" told us a story that also changed our minds.

This also starts with the military training in the morning.

Early in the morning, everyone gathered for military training, and the five of us, Liang Tianyu, Jing Han, and Fat Man, had a simple meeting, and put together a pair of suspicious characters that they found last night. As a result, they all pointed to the five freshmen who came to the ghost village alone, and since the goal was determined, there was nothing to say, and they began to look for evidence.

Still using the previous way of taking turns to train, Liang Tianyu also secretly greeted Zero and asked him to assist us.

Everything went very smoothly, and the odd changes in queue size occurred intermittently, and every time something went wrong, we spread out to find clues.

Maybe if it goes on like this, we'll definitely be able to find the culprit. But as time passed, trouble came, and after a few of us tossed and turned, the military training of the special academy could not continue at all.

Not only were the classmates in the queue annoyed by us, but the handsome guys and beauties from the Military Academy and the Art Academy next to us even regarded us as a joke, and the instructors of the Military Academy even ran over to us as if they were dead and asked our instructors if there was a monster in the team.

Although the instructor was kicked away by Zero in the end, it was clear that our search could not proceed.

After a chaotic morning and a regrouping in the afternoon, Zero did not hesitate to give the order to halt our operation.

Honestly waiting for the end of the military training, Zero called the five of us together and spoke earnestly.

He said that he was also a little annoyed at first about the problem of the queue, as a professional soldier, he would not allow one less soldier under his command for no reason, and in the same way, he would not allow one more for no reason. However, when he found out that the problem would not happen again when the personnel were in order, he gradually changed his mind.

He said: No matter who caused this incident, the result will not have much impact on military training, on the contrary, it is the fact that a few of us are paying too much attention to this incident, and it is the real impact on the morale of the military. Military training is a mobilization for war, and it is also a pre-war preparation, and we may be sent to the battlefield tomorrow if we are still on the playground today. If you don't have a baptism of sweat and a clear concept of discipline, once you go to the battlefield, you may kill yourself, your comrades, and even lose a war. So, for the next ten days, no matter what happens, we can no longer affect the normal training session.

As for the problem of the extra people in the phalanx queue, Zero said that he didn't know who the problem was, but he could probably guess the cause of the problem.

It is derived from a "habit", and this "habit" is also present at Zero.

Before Zero came to Rengui Village, he was a border anti-narcotics policeman, and every time he went to work to do a task at that time, it was equivalent to going to the battlefield and experiencing a real test of life and death.

And beside him, there is a comrade-in-arms named No. 1, the two have been partners for ten years, and in Zero's life, No. 1 has become a habit. (To be continued......)
