Chapter 3: Back to School

I put down the microphone, a little curious as to where the call was coming from, so I paid attention to the phone line.

The old-fashioned telephone must be a transfer station for the phone. But after all these years, the call transfer station is long gone. The one who can get through this phone must have something connected to this phone line.

I followed the more discreet telephone line installed on the wall all the way to the secret door, and found that it had disappeared from the back of a cupboard.

I've checked this cabinet before, and it doesn't contain anything but a few moldy documents.

I had to move the cabinet out of the way a little bit.

Behind the cabinet was a secret compartment, and the things connected to the telephone line were placed inside. It was a machine that was still running.

At first glance, it looks like a black technology product, but the sense of age it shows reveals that it is just an old antique. But it's such an old antique, I don't know what it is!

I had no choice but to take it out and unplug the phone cord attached to it.

Then the sound of the machine disappearing.

I tried to press the button, but the old machine only made a few slight rumbles before it struck. No matter how much I tried to figure it out, it didn't respond.

I couldn't figure it out, so I had to put it in my bag. I plan to take it back to Boss Ye to study and see if I can research any doorways......

After that, I restored the cupboard, went into the secret room, and took out the document with the word "Kawanishi" printed on it and put it in my bag. When I was done with all this, I closed the chamber again and quickly walked out of the cave......

When I returned to the Yin Yang Inn, I happened to meet a team of Yin people from the inn

Walking in front of the team seemed to be the yin guest who had just communicated with me. At this time, he also saw me, but he didn't say anything to me, just nodded at me slightly, and quickly led the team away.

As they left, the innkeeper was standing in the doorway watching.

I simply walked over to say hello to him, and asked by the way, "Where are these Yin people going?" ”

The boss shook his head and said with a look of concern: "I don't know, they have a lot of places to go, and why are you asking this?" ”

"Don't do it, it's just a little curious......"

"Don't ask so much, there's nothing to ask, they and I ...... You're not one of the same kind of people. The boss said, motioning for me to walk in, "It's late today, let's get some rest." With that, he reached out and closed the door.

Along the way, this is the only place in the ghost town village where the lights are still on. But now, it's time to melt into the night......

This night, I inexplicably slept soundly. This is the first real sleep I have since I came out of the sea on the other side: I didn't dream, I didn't get woken up, and I slept until I woke up naturally......

The next day, at three o'clock in the morning, I woke up. After a brief wash, I went downstairs for a meal. I'm going to leave here after eating.

I wanted to go back to my hometown in southern Anhui first, but at this moment, a phone call came in.

Picking up the phone, Boss Ye's voice rang directly: "Brother is me, are you done with that?" ”

"That's it, what's wrong?"

"That's the case, you Dean Cao came to me to ask for someone, ask if you and Zhang Qiuyun are back, I will help you block it, you can come back quickly when you are done......" Boss Ye said, hesitated, and his voice became a lot quieter, "You know, Zhang Qiuyun's matter ......"

Boss Ye's words came to an abrupt end, and I already understood what he meant: "Okay, you wait for me to go back." I'll be there tonight......"

After hanging up the phone, I quickly bought a ticket to fly to Urumqi in the afternoon.

The owner of the Yin-Yang Inn was very nice, and when he heard that I was going to catch a plane, he called a chartered car for me without saying a word.

I hurriedly thanked my boss and left......

At about eight o'clock in the evening, I walked out of the terminal building of Diwopu Airport with my backpack on my back. Boss Ye also appeared in front of me on time.

On the way back to school, Boss Ye, who was driving, bizarrely didn't talk to me, which surprised me a little. So, I had a conversation with him.

But Boss Ye's reaction was not the same as before, and he became silent.

It wasn't until I took out the old antique machine I found in the cave that he had a slightly normal reaction: "Day...... I'll show you when you get back, and by the way, why do you keep finding these weird things? ”

I deliberately sighed and said, "I don't know, it's you, it's become a little weird." ”

"Yes?" Boss Ye said in a flat tone, "Maybe I'm a little tired." ”

"It feels like you're on your mind, don't lie to me, I can see it."

After my repeated questioning, he finally said: "What's more, after I go back, I always feel like I'm being watched, and there is an inexplicable sense of crisis. Do you think there's something big going to happen to me? ”

When I heard it, I was angry and funny, Boss Ye has this feeling that something big is about to happen, so wouldn't the things that happened in my school a few months ago be the end!

Even though I thought so, I comforted, "You're just too tired, get some rest." I don't think anything will happen next......"

"Hmm...... Hopefully......"

About twenty minutes later, I stood in front of the familiar gate of Northwest University of Literature and History, and I couldn't help but have mixed feelings......

I was still thinking about whether to enter or not, when the phone in my pocket rang, and it was Dean Cao calling.

On the other side of the phone, Dean Cao's characteristic voice sounded: "Are you at the door, come to my office, I have something important to talk to you." ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for me to reply, and hung up in a hurry.

I was stunned for a moment, then turned my head to look at Boss Ye behind me: "Then I'll go in, and I'll hand over that thing to you." ”

"Don't worry, you can go in quickly." Boss Ye slapped me on the back suddenly, "I'll check it for you when I go back." ”

"Okay, I'm in trouble." I nodded vigorously.

Boss Ye waved his hand impatiently and said, "Trouble fart, you go in quickly!" ”

I had no choice but to walk into the school gate......

Liberal Arts Building III, Office 406.

Dean Cao, who was fat and tall, was sitting behind a computer desk, looking at the screen. And on the seat opposite him, which should have been Uncle Shi, the thing was long gone......

When Dean Cao saw me come in, he put down the work in his hand, pointed to the seat opposite and said, "You're finally back, come, sit." ”

I sat down without hesitation and responded, "yes, I'm back from there......"

Dean Cao laughed: "What's your situation, why did you become so restrained, the school has long since stopped holding you accountable, you don't have to be afraid." By the way, what about Zhang Qiuyun? You didn't come back together? ”

"She ......," I choked up, but still told the truth, "She stayed down there forever......"

"What?!" Dean Cao suddenly exclaimed, "Don't scare me, Wang Hao, you can't joke about this." ”

"It's true!" I repeated, "I was ...... I didn't know what was going on at the time, one second she was still talking to me, the next second she was gone, and when we met again, she was already a corpse......"

When Dean Cao heard this, he raised his head with a blank face, and muttered to himself: "It's true, it's true......"

I wanted to make things clearer, but when the words came to my mouth, I couldn't say anything, and finally I only held back one sentence: "She and her father died together......

"What? Her father? Dean Cao suddenly sat up straight, stared at me tightly and said, "Isn't she a single-parent family, where is her father?" ”

"It's a bit of a hassle to explain this." I don't know how to explain her father's identity for a while, if I want to tell the truth that her father is a Yin guest, I guess Dean Cao will not understand what this Yin guest is......

"Okay, I see. You don't have to deal with this matter......" Dean Cao said, picking up a pen and writing something on the paper, saying as he wrote, "Since you are back, then go back to the past, and come back to class tomorrow......"

With that, he handed me the note.

I took it and looked at it, and it read: With the consent of the school, Wang Hao will be allowed to return to school, and the dormitory will be moved to Building 5 201.

"Back to class tomorrow?" I didn't believe it, and for a moment it felt like I was just taking a two-week break from school......

"Is that not the case? What else do you have to do? Dean Cao gave me a meaningful look, "Since there is nothing else to do, let's stay at the school." In the future, I will arrange for you to do something else. Don't be in a hurry......"

I said "um", Dean Cao should be referring to what he told me about the working group before.

"Then it's okay for you to go back, your books have been put back in your previous dormitory, and your daily necessities have been placed in the new dormitory."

……

When I walked out of Building 3 of the Liberal Arts, it happened to be the time for class to end in the evening. Many students who had evening classes were coming out of the teaching building in twos and threes, and I was alone in the midst of it.

But that's fine, if it's seen by someone who is familiar, it will definitely ask questions.

I was afraid of something, and an acquaintance came to meet me: Chen Yan was smiling and smiling with a cup of milk tea in one hand.

I wanted to avoid it, but I couldn't avoid it, so I had to bite the bullet and go up.

Sure enough, when Chen Yan saw me, her mouth immediately grew, and then she said excitedly: "Wang Hao? It's you? When are you coming back? ”

I pursed my lips secretly, but actually smiled and said, "I just came back, hello, it's so late, where are you going?" ”

"I'll go see Yaowen at the door." As she spoke, she raised the milk tea in her hand, "Do you want to drink it?" ”

"No, no, I'm in a hurry." I declined her offer and was about to leave.

She suddenly said, "So urgent? Also, you have become the teacher's royal assistant. I really envy you......"

"Teacher's royal assistant? Which teacher? "I'm a little strange, why didn't Dean Cao tell me just now?

"A new young teacher asked you to be his student teaching assistant by name." Chen Yan looked at me with a wink, "What?" You still don't know? ”

"I don't know yet, I just came back from Dean Cao, maybe he hasn't come yet......" I smiled awkwardly, said goodbye to her, and left.

For the rest of the journey, I was thinking about this strange student teaching assistant.

After thinking about it, I always feel that things are not simple......
