Fortunately, the three of them are relatively bold, especially Liu Xiuxiu and Liang Wan, if there is a little situation, they will be scared, and it is estimated that they will not be able to become investigators.

They quickly calmed down, and Xia Ren walked to the door of the classroom, held the cold handle, took a deep breath, and took the initiative to push the door open.

The world is quiet.

It was as if someone had pressed the pause button, and the sound of reading, which was a little noisy just now, disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, and disappeared along with the people in the class.

The students, including Ms. Bisha, the homeroom teacher sitting on the podium, all disappeared.

The classrooms were empty except for neatly arranged desks.

"How could it be ......?"

Liu Xiuxiu covered her mouth, her hands trembling a little.

Liang Wan walked up to the podium and touched the stool that Teacher Bi had just sat on, and where her fingers touched, she only felt a biting coldness.

She took out the rune paper and tried it, but there was still no change.

"Have you ever encountered this situation in the past when you were on a mission?"

Xia Ren asked.

Liu Xiuxiu shook her head.

Liang Wan frowned and said, "The infected body is not so evil. ”

I always feel that from the beginning of the moment, there is a familiar atmosphere.

Xia Ren looked around the classroom, then followed his memory to Xu Qiang's former seat, and casually opened a textbook on the table, which was printed but not normal words, and suspicious black-brown dirt smeared the entire page, like something made of blood, skin fragments, and hair.

Disgusted, he threw the book back, picked up another one, and opened it in the same situation.

Just as the three of them were paying all their attention to the classroom, a person suddenly walked in outside the door.

It was a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, tall, wearing a school uniform of Dawn Middle School, with a pair of glasses, and he looked rather shy.

As soon as he entered the classroom, he saw Xia Ren and them, and he was stunned.

"Sorry, I was on the wrong shift."

With an embarrassed smile on his face, the young man nodded at them and turned to leave.

"Wait!"

Liang Wan wanted to stop him and chased him out of the classroom, but when he got to the corridor, he couldn't see the other party.

Liu Xiuxiu also chased after her, and said hesitantly: "That person feels a little familiar." ”

"Su Mingyi, a student in Class 3, committed suicide five days ago, and it is normal for him to be familiar, because we have seen his photo on the victim file of the hanging rope."

Xia Ren walked out of the classroom and looked at the dead campus outside from the second floor, with a solemn expression.

"Don't you feel weird? If this is an illusion created by Xu Qiang, then why has there been no danger that can threaten our lives until now? ”

Liang Wan looked into his eyes: "What do you want to say?" ”

"I have an idea, but I'm not sure yet, we need to make a trip to the library."

Without further ado, all three of them want to get out of their current situation as soon as possible, so although there are still many doubts that have not been clarified, they can only let go now.

Especially Xia Ren, from the moment he noticed that something was wrong, he had always felt a kind of anxiety in his heart.

Although today's update has been released regularly,But tomorrow's hasn't started to write.,He didn't save the manuscript.,In case of a break.,It's still a trivial matter if the task can't be completed.,The main trouble is the chaser.,The other party can really kill him.。

The three of them arrived at the library of Dawn Middle School, a two-story building that looked bookish during the day, but on such a dark night, this large and cold building could only bring people a heavy oppression.

Xia Ren didn't stop and went straight to the bookshelf.

Sure enough, just as he expected, all the books did not have their own exclusive names on the side covers, and all of them were marked with two words: books.

Liang Wan opened one of them, and it was all blank pages.

"There's no word on it."

Xia Ren sighed and said, "You don't need to read anything else, the books in the entire library are estimated to be the same." ”

Liu Xiuxiu asked, "Why are you so sure?" ”

From the moment they entered the teaching building just now, everything that happened was beyond the cognition of the two investigators, Liang Wan and Liu Xiuxiu.

They're right dealing with weird phenomena, but they're not dealing with supernatural phenomena.

Xia Ren's expression was a little strange, and he said slowly: "Because, now Dawn Middle School is a ghost school. ”

Liu Xiuxiu's eyes widened: "Ghost school? ”

"Impossible."

Liang Wan vetoed: "Don't tell me, you want to say that what we met before were all ghosts." ”

"That's just the way it is."

Xia Ren shrugged helplessly: "Do you remember when we saw that flame under the teaching building?" ”

Liang Wan said a little impatiently: "How can you not remember what happened just now." ”

Xia Ren took out half of the skirt of the school uniform from his trouser pocket and said, "I felt déjà vu at the time, and now I have finally confirmed that this is a ghost story that I fantasized about when I was in school, based on the news that the students of Liming Middle School accidentally suspected. Xiu'er, you know what my profession does, right? ”

"Occupation?" Liu Xiuxiu raised her head and recalled: "You mean, write? ”

"That's right."

Xia Ren picked up a book from the bookshelf next to him, closed his eyes, and made an expression of hard thinking, and after a few seconds, he opened his eyes, and the book in his hand already had words, and the cover showed the four big words "pollution of the whole territory".

"Look, my book is published."

Liang Wan and Liu Xiuxiu were both confused.

After making a joke that few people understood, Xia Rencai continued: "Before July this year, I was writing about the supernatural, whether it was the footsteps Xiu'er heard, the half-burned blood-stained school skirt, and the empty classroom, all of which were materials I had conceived.

In other words, this school is not Xu Qiang's illusion, but a dream. ”

"Dreams?" Liu Xiuxiu repeated it half-understandingly.

"Yes."

Xia Ren nodded, his eyes flashed, and he seemed a little excited: "Everything we have encountered so far, the leader is not Xu Qiang, if my expectations are right, he just dragged us into a dream, and everything in the dream is dominated by ourselves, the phrase "repentance in endless nightmares" refers to what we fear. ”

"So he wants us to make something horrible to kill us?"

Liang Wan is worthy of being an A-level investigator, except for road idiots, her head is still relatively active, and once she points it out, she will associate many aspects on the spot.

"If we can't find this out as soon as possible, we will always think that these are Xu Qiang's illusions, and the deeper the fear, the more powerful the imaginary enemy will be, until we imagine an irresistible enemy......"

Realizing this, both of them couldn't help but be afraid, knowing that the things they had seen in the Eighteen Hells of the Foundation Headquarters could easily kill them if they came out in one piece.

"But."

Liu Xiuxiu was puzzled: "If you die in a dream, will you really die?" ”

"Maybe."

Xia Ren couldn't be sure of this: "The girl who followed us in can't be unconscious no matter what, but she can feel the pain, this should be figured out to the outside world, if we die in a dream, the outside will also judge it as death." ”

"Wait."

Liu Xiuxiu noticed a question: "What did you mean just now, do you know that the girl is not fake?" ”

Xia Ren nodded: "If it's fake, I won't keep her." ”

"No, no, no."

Liu Xiuxiu was a little puzzled: "Since she is not a fake, why don't you let her follow one of us, isn't it dangerous for her to stay there as an ordinary person?" ”

"Xiu'er, you're saying the opposite."

Xia Ren put the book in his hand back on the bookshelf and said, "We are not taking refuge, but taking the initiative to contact the danger, and it is not safe for her to follow us." ”

Liu Xiuxiu didn't seem to understand it.

Liang Wan answered: "But even if you know that we are in a dream, how can we wake up?" ”

Xia Ren spread his hands and said, "I don't know about this, but I have an idea, maybe I can test it." ”

"What thoughts?"

"It's not certain yet, but before that, we're going to do a test."

Xia Ren led them out of the library and to the gate of Dawn Middle School.

The huge iron door was closed, and when viewed from the door, there was a fog outside, and visibility was low.

The gate is usually opened only when vehicles pass by, and usually students enter the campus and walk through the side door, but the side door is also locked at the moment.

Without hesitation, Xia Ren came to the guard hall on the side, and there was an old man with gray hair sitting in it, who was napping.

"Hey, wake up."

Xia Ren knocked on the table "Bangbang", looking very rude.

The doorman woke up slowly, not only his pupils were black, but even the whites of his eyes, and he suddenly opened his eyes, looking very terrifying.

Xia Ren said directly: "Open the door, we have to go out." ”

"Hey, hey, hey......"

The old man laughed sadly a few times, and said in a rough voice: "It is forbidden to go out at night, you can't leave, unless you ......"

"Unless what?" Liu Xiuxiu asked.

With a grim smile, the old man looked at them with bad intentions, and said slowly: "At the back of the cafeteria, there is a deserted well......

Xia Ren is familiar with this routine, usually when he writes books, he uses it to enrich the plot, and by the way, he said impatiently: "You can't open the door." ”

Threatening tone.

The old man raised his eyebrows: "Hey, hey, hey......"

"Boom!"

The pitch-black crowbar was inserted directly into the table in front of him, poking a big hole, Xia Ren pulled out the crowbar, put it in his hand and checked it: "Respecting the old and loving the young is a traditional virtue, but unfortunately I don't have it." ”

The old man choked on the next sentence in his throat, he looked at the hard stick, got up silently, took a bunch of keys from the wall, put them on the table and pushed them to Xia Ren.

"That's right."

Xia Ren successfully skipped the tedious side quests, got the key, and turned around to open the door.

"You can't leave......"

The old man's fluttering voice came from behind him, and as soon as Liang Wan turned her head, the other party was gone.

"Is he usually like that?"

Liang Wan asked Liu Xiuxiu in a low voice.

The latter thought for a moment and said, "You underestimate him." ”

He is the one who can say things like "your father is dead" to a little Lori without changing his face, and he even has to grab a toy water gun.

Hearing this, Liang Wan immediately looked at Liu Xiuxiu sympathetically.

When they whispered, Xia Ren had already opened the side door.

The three of them walked out together, and the fog began to dissipate.

However, what was presented to them was still a familiar campus scene.

Looking back, the iron door was still closed, and they were still inside.

Xia Ren seemed to have known that this would be the result, and he was not surprised.

"Sure enough, Xu Qiang's control is limited to this school."

"So what are we going to do now?"

Xia Ren looked up at the sky and said something seemingly unrelated:

"Lu Xun once said that there is a limit to the power of human beings, and only magic can be defeated by magic."
