Chapter 44: Late at Night
Breathless, Jerry ran back to Dorm 7 and rushed to the bed as soon as he opened the door, groping under his pillow.
"What's going on? Jerry! Neil was smearing his swollen sausage-like lips with herbal liquid.
Jerry checked the invisibility robe 3000 under the pillow and breathed a sigh of relief, he turned and smiled at Neil.
"Nothing, Neil." Jerry quickly lied, he walked to the table, poured a glass of water, and poured a large sip into his mouth, the water was cold, and he felt extremely satisfied.
"How? No one recognizes you, does it? Neil leaned over and prayed in his eyes.
"It's a bad situation! I was caught by Pemble. Jerry picked up the glass of water on the table and poured another large sip of cold water.
'What?' Dead faces' are always haunted. Neil looked at him worriedly, waiting for him to continue.
"Neil, I'm so depressed right now, we might have to leave it at that." Jerry said, "You know it's serious......"
"Brother, I understand your feelings, this matter is all caused by me." Neil apologized.
"I was expelled from Hoglas." Jerry said seriously.
"Jerry, brother, I don't know what to say right now." Neil stood up in surprise, his hand nowhere to rest, "I thought 'Dead Face' would just deduct points or scold a few words, or make someone write a stinky and long review. Neil said nervously.
He felt a little guilty and angry, "No, this incident started because of me, Jerry, I won't let you be punished for nothing!" ”
Neil stood up excitedly, put on a coat, and hurried to the door.
"Where are you going?" Jerry stopped him.
Neil walked to the door and stopped, "I'm going to find Pamp Theory and tell him that this was all my idea, and that I asked you to go to the laughing room in my place." ”
"It's useless, Punpu won't believe it." Jerry was overjoyed and moved.
Neil was silent for a moment, grunting as if he was making a decision.
"Jerry, if you're kicked out of Hoglales, I don't want to stay here anymore, I'll let Professor Polk expel me as well!"
"You're crazy! Finally got in, and you want to get out? Neil's decision came as a surprise to Jerry.
He didn't expect Neil's move to be so crazy, he stood up, the corners of his mouth rose a little, and he felt very relieved in his heart.
Suddenly, Jerry laughed at Neil with a smile.
Hearing the laughter, Neil immediately knew what was going on, Jerry was deliberately teasing him, and he was relieved at first.
"Jerry Jr. Your acting skills suck! Neil said angrily.
"Hahaha! Didn't scare you! "Jerry is broken.
"It's not funny at all." Neil's face darkened, and he grunted back to his dorm.
"We were lucky that Bonnie and I almost got fired."
"We were at rock bottom. That's no exaggeration, but—"
Jerry couldn't be happier at the thought of handing in a 50,000-word review, "This time Pimp asked us to write a 50,000-word review. Neil Kaka, it's 50,000 words! Not 30,000 words! ”
Jerry held out five fingers and gestured dissatisfiedly, and when he was done, he sat down to drink water, and silence returned to the dormitory.
He took a heavy breath, and as soon as a worried heart hit the ground, it was suspended again.
He thought of what the mysterious man, Rugli, had told him that at twelve o'clock tonight, he would be hiding from Neil, and that Hoglas forbade the students to leave the school gate at eleven o'clock in the evening, and that the early morning party must be an adventure for him.
He knew he was taking a risk, but he told Fuya that he didn't want to be a coward.
When Never Buya handed him his father Cassie's diary, he began to feel that he was carrying not only his father's unfulfilled wishes, but also the ardent expectations of Old Buya, and even the ghost—
Jerry's heart jumped, and he wondered: How could I have thought of that ghost? I didn't even hold his palm once!
He counted the days in his heart, they had been getting along in this way for some days, and sometimes he even had an illusion, as Zhang Wuwei said, they were like a pair of brothers with the same root and body.
Soon, night fell.
Jerry took the unidentified red gem he had picked up in the black liquid that the Eater of Souls had turned into in a drawer and climbed into bed.
Late at night, it was quiet in the dormitory. He pretended to be asleep as he listened to Neil on the bed opposite.
Neil had slept well early, and he didn't snore tonight, probably in a dream of chasing a big bed.
After a while, Jerry quietly got up, took the invisibility robe 3000, walked to the door, and closed the door.
He put his robe on his body, put on his cap, and recited the incantation written in the note: "You can't see me." ”
His body was immediately out of sight, and he glanced around to make sure there was no one before he began to walk through the hallway, and as he passed the toilet, a figure emerged from the toilet.
Jerry was startled - Ge Gao yawned sleepily and walked out of the bathroom, nearly colliding with him.
Jerry shuddered and stopped his feet, his chest back, and Ge Gao rubbed his tired eyelids past him, barely a palm's throw away.
Jerry held his breath, and after a few seconds, he stroked his chest. Slipped quickly to the end of the hallway, and as he went downstairs, he prayed in his heart that he wouldn't run into anyone on the way.
But the more he worried, the more the result came true.
As he reached the lobby on the first floor, he saw a security guard locking the door.
Jerry was so anxious that he knocked down a potted plant leaning against him.
The potted plant made a noise when it fell to the ground, sprinkling the soil in the pot on the ground, and the plant lay crookedly on the ground.
When the security inspector heard the voice, he stopped what he was doing, and he walked over to Jerry, his eyes glancing at the potted plants on the ground, but he didn't find a figure in the hall.
Feeling a little strange, he picked up the potted plant, and when he reached the strange door, Jerry had just opened the door and ran out.
"It's so strange, where does the wind come from?" The security inspector turned off the headlights in the hall, turned on the flashlight, and walked out.
At that moment, the door slammed and closed on its own. A stiff old face appeared on the door.
- The strange door was woken up, and in a fit of rage, locked itself.
Jerry cautiously walked around the Hoglas campus, and when he approached the gate of the campus, he saw that the stone guards had turned into two stone hounds at this moment, and he had no bottom in his heart.
At this time, a cough came from my ear. He was so frightened that his legs weakened, and when he reacted, he realized that it was Zhang Wuwei's voice.
You're scaring me to death! Jerry said depressedly.
"Do you need help?" Zhang Wuwei stretched, and his voice came out clearly from the territory of the merger.
His lips were swollen a lot, and his mood was much better than before.
I have a way to get out. Jerry firmly refused.
Zhang Wuwei was surprised by his thoughts: "Then I'll wait and see." He had a smile in his eyes.
Jerry took a deep breath, picked up a pebble from the ground, and made a sprint gesture, throwing it hard against the wall to the right of the gate.
After a while, he picked up another stone and threw it out of the wall to the left of the gate.
Sure enough—
As he expected, he heard a noise from the two stone statues at the gate, and the stone guards turned into two gray-eyed men.
"Do you hear the noise?"
"Well, it seems to be on the right."
"It's coming from the left."
"Split up!" They glanced at each other, sniffed with their noses, and patrolled each side.
Jerry was overjoyed when he saw this, opened the door, and slipped out.
It's finally out! The stone in Jerry's heart fell to the ground.
He felt like a prison bird breaking free from its cage at the moment, and his whole body became comfortable.
He had been looking forward to entering Hoglas, only to find that it was not as easy as he had imagined.
"It's too late for you to regret it now, haven't you always wanted to get out of here?" Zhang Wuwei reminded.
"Don't be kidding me, really, I can't afford to joke right now." Jerry walked in the direction of the Black Forest to the east.
"Did you hear anything? I just heard someone talking! ”
Undoubtedly, Jerry and Zhang Wuwei's conversation attracted the attention of the two stone statue guards.
"Those two guys are coming!" Zhang Wuwei reminded.
Jerry's footsteps immediately stopped, and at this time, two stone guards were walking towards him, getting closer and closer to where he was standing.
Five-step, four-step, three-step......
They sniff incessantly with their dog noses, which upsets Jerry. He wanted to run past them, towards the black woods to the east.
When he saw a stone guard rushing in front of him, he took a few steps back in fright, his face filled with a look of horror.
"Strange! What's wrong with my nose? The stone guard shouted sharply, his eyes wide, and he turned his gaze to Jerry.
He couldn't see Jerry, but his gaze met Jerry's.
"You!" The Stone Guard screamed.
Jerry was startled and looked at him, thinking that he had seen through the stealth plan.
"Come here, I smell a human smell here—"
"Bleiden! Come here! You come and sniff it! The stone guard sniffed as he got closer and closer to Jerry.
"Silly - run!" Zhang Wuwei transported his spiritual power, and two puffs of light smoke came out of Jerry's ears, quickly forming a cigarette palm, holding up the soles of Jerry's feet, and leading him towards the black forest to the east and rushing uncontrollably.
The two stone guards saw the white smoke and hurriedly chased after it.
"Hide behind a tree!" Zhang Wuwei collected his spiritual power as he shouted, and Jerry's body turned around and rushed into the back of a big tree.
The light white smoke in the air immediately cleared, and Jerry leaned against the tree, gasping for air.
"Don't make a sound." Zhang Wuwei reminded.
Jerry covered his mouth, his eyes purring, and he felt the two guards chase after him, and his heart pounded.
After a while, one of the stone guards was heard say, "Maybe we're too nervous, let's go back!" ”
"It's really strange, that smoke just now is really suspicious!" Malego wondered.
"Let's go, don't do stupid things, go back, don't fall for the trick of diverting the tiger from the mountain."
Jerry's breathing steadied as he poked his eyes out from behind the tree, looking extra cautious.
He was secretly relieved to see the backs of the two stone statue guards gradually leave.
He continued to walk towards the black forest to the east, and after a while, he saw a misty place.
- There was a gray-blue smell in the trees ahead, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
He was sure that Rugli was talking about the black forest.
"Well, your head is getting brighter." Zhang Wuwei said.
"Thank you for your help. You, don't you have a name? Jerry asked, looking around.
"My surname is Zhang." Zhang Wuwei said, "It's called Wuwei." ”
"It's an uncommon surname." Jerry said.
"I'm from the East, and to you, this surname is like an outsider."
"But—I don't think you're a human, you're a ghost." Jerry laughed.
"You're wrong, I'm not really human, I'm a magical robot." Zhang Wuwei said proudly and sadly.
"What do you mean by amazing robots?" Jerry wondered.
He wiped his sweat, and a gust of wind blew on all sides, which lifted his black hair, which was very comfortable.
"A fantasy robot with great powers." Zhang Wuwei said seriously.
"Are you bored?" Jerry couldn't help but laugh.
"The magicians of our world can easily destroy Hoglais with the movement of a finger."
"Just blow it! If you're really that powerful, how can you be trapped in my body and can't get out. ”
"It's not the same Jerry, I had a little bit of a physical error when I was jumping on the streamer." Zhang Wuwei explained.
"Unless one day you let me see you—standing in front of me for real. Otherwise—I wouldn't believe it. ”
Jerry said, looking around, thinking: Who is that mysterious man, "Rugli"?
