Chapter 24: The Shadow

As Zhuo Xuan said, he has already shown sincerity.

This time it was indeed an accident.

The original intention was to help Zhou Xueqiu complete his personal tasks, but no one expected such a result. The beast was indeed contained, but these were all done by Zhuo Xuan, and they had nothing to do with Zhou Xueqiu.

Zhou Xueqiu was silent, in his eyes, this young man was becoming stronger and stronger. In that hidden. To survive in an obscure and cruel world, in addition to having great power, a good mind is also indispensable. Obviously, Zhuo Xuan has the latter.

This made him somewhat ...... Eat one's heart out.

That's right, it's this inexplicable emotion called jealousy that's at work.

Zhou Xueqiu took a deep breath, and immediately a series of emotions such as jealousy and irritability on his face disappeared completely, and he pulled the corners of his mouth, as if he was laughing: "Of course, we continue to cooperate." ”

Why does it seem so insincere?

Zhuo Xuan turned his head sideways and felt the brilliant light outside through the gap in the blinds.

I'm afraid that one day, you'll stab me in the back.

--

There is a strange murder case at Tinglin University. Even if the school has used all its strength to suppress the news, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and those who are interested can get a glimpse of the whole picture of the incident from the fragmentary information after a little inquiry.

What's more, this biography has been turned into a new weird story, and it has become the most terrifying campus legend alongside the tragic incident of the drama club ten years ago.

The police quickly went out of the hole to investigate, and from the damaged camera, the scene of the stage actor's suicide could be faintly called, which shocked them.

During this period, Zhuo Xuan also met the young policeman who had crossed paths with him because of the investigation of his parents' disappearance. Cha, Zhang Lian. This policeman with a sense of justice. Cha seemed to be extremely busy, and he didn't even see Zhuo Xuan who passed by him.

As the student president, Zhou Xueqiu naturally fully cooperated with the school and the police, but his focus was not really here.

Get stronger faster, faster......

--

Students holding their mobile phones are scattered in the huge lecture hall, and on the podium, the teacher is flipping the courseware with a laser pointer.

The sudden disaster apparently did not affect the normal life of most people, although a very small number of them had already heard of it and could not help but think of it as an after-dinner story.

"Xinyu, do you want to go shopping together after class?"

The girl sitting next to Lin Xinyu approached slightly and asked in a low voice.

Lin Xinyu was sitting in a row by the window at the back of the classroom at this time, her brows were tightly furrowed, her eyes were always out of the window, and she didn't seem to hear the voice of the girl next to her.

"New rain?" The girl gently poked Lin Xinyu's arm with her hand.

But such an intimate action between girls made Lin Xinyu's body tremble violently.

Lin Xinyu almost instinctively moved her position in the direction away from the girl, and it wasn't until she turned her head to see the puzzled look on the other party's face that she realized that she was a little excessive, and couldn't help but smile embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Miao Miao, I'm a little uncomfortable." ”

"Are you going to the doctor?" The girl called Miao Miao asked with concern.

She is Lin Xinyu's roommate, and the two are also close friends who talk about everything.

"No, I still have something to do after school, so you can go back to the dormitory first."

Lin Xinyu's performance would seem abnormal to others, but in Miao Miao's eyes, she thought she could understand it somewhat.

Miao Miao learned a little about the drama club, perhaps it was because of such a terrible thing that happened to Lin Xinyu that she was stimulated.

At half past eight in the evening, the bell rang for the end of the evening class. Lin Xinyu hurriedly packed up his things and left the classroom without saying a word.

As for the destination, it's a secret that she won't easily tell others.

No one knows that Lin Xinyu, who seems to be sunny and optimistic, hides a huge heart disease.

Her father, Lin Sicheng, has been missing for nearly a month.

I and my mother tried to call the police and also tried to issue a missing person notice, but they didn't get much.

Some people once claimed to have seen a man with a similar face passing by with other women on the street, but Lin Xinyu knew that it was not his father.

Before experiencing the strange incident in the drama club, Lin Xinyu also considered himself an atheist. However, when the female corpse was retinally imprinted, her insistence was completely shaken.

Pinning her hopes for news of her father on a campus legend was something she would never have thought of before.

It was a grocery room in the corner of the old campus. Remove the weeds piled up at the doorway and burrow into the grocery room to create a staircase. Forty-four steps forward, you will see an underground elf, ask it anything you want to know, and you will get answers.

With such hope, Lin Xinyu came to the old campus.

The old campus is different from the new campus, and there are only a few old dormitories that are not inhabited.

From the outside, the dormitory buildings with gray and yellow walls are scattered in twos and threes, and occasionally you can see the wall ash peeling off from above. A nearby playground was overgrown with weeds and barely frequented; The barbed wire fence that surrounds the playground is rusty and has long since lost its proper function.

The night shrouded the old campus, and Lin Xinyu took a deep breath of air and forced himself to be calm.

"If there are ghosts, there must also be gods," she thought, and the tension in her heart suddenly dissipated a lot.

I don't know how long I walked around the edge of the old campus, it was already pitch black, and Lin Xinyu, who was out of breath, finally found the weed-covered utility room at the back of the dormitory building.

Pushing aside the hidden weeds, Lin Xinyu could clearly see the short, brown-yellow painted door by the bright light of the flashlight on his mobile phone. She stroked the door panel with her hand, and the rough graininess of the peeled door panel made her feel somewhat unreal.

"This is it!"

Her heart pounded.

Just as she was about to push the door open, a hand rested on her shoulder without warning.

"Ahh

Like a frightened little rabbit, Lin Xinyu's body jumped backwards, and at the same time couldn't help but let out a low exclamation.

For a while, chaotic thoughts rushed into her mind, and she didn't immediately see the face of the person in front of her.

Lin Xinyu's head was a little buzzing, but with the help of the bright light from the mobile phone that fell to the ground, she could barely recognize that it was a girl in front of her, a human being, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

"What are you doing here?" The girl's voice is extremely gentle, like a pillow sent to the back of her head.

It turned out to be a girl about my age.

The girl's face was blurred like a cloud of ink. Lin Xinyu turned off the flashlight after picking up the mobile phone, and common sense made her subconsciously feel that it was extremely impolite to use the flashlight to shine on the other party's face.

Lin Xinyu muttered in his heart, and replied with some weakness: "I, I'm here to find someone." ”

If you say that you are here to confirm the truth of the campus legend, I am afraid that the other party will definitely think that you are a fool.

"It's not safe to be alone at night," the girl's voice seemed to contain some kind of magic, "go back to the dormitory." ”

"Oh."

Lin Xinyu felt like a schoolboy who had done something wrong. She answered softly, turning around a little aggrieved and confused.

Just as she was about to leave the old campus, she suddenly stopped, then turned her head to find that the strange girl was still standing in front of the utility room.

She is like a loyal guard guarding the king's treasures, keeping an eye on every "thief" who wants to come and seek it.

And from the direction in which she was standing, she seemed to be still staring at herself.

"What a weirdo."

Lin Xinyu muttered, turned his head, and trotted out of here.
