Chapter 49: The University of the Arts

Since the documents that were sent to print yesterday really couldn't be printed, Yi Annie took out an old USB flash drive with a capacity of only 1G from the drawer of her desk and copied the materials she sorted out yesterday.

After reporting it in the internal system, Yi Annie found that there were really a lot of people who had just reported the status of "out", presumably going out to print documents. Speaking of which, this is another good opportunity to fish.

Canadians love the outdoors, no one likes to stay indoors all day, every lunch break, although the press center has a special rest area for employees to eat, but it is also empty, most people like to take food outside to eat in the civic square. There is a breeze and sunshine, birds and flowers, and it is very pleasant.

Yi Annie walked out of the door of the press center with a USB flash drive, and the printing points listed on the system information received before were all on the Xiacheng Peninsula, and it was really not necessary to drive within 20 minutes of walking.

"Annie!"

She hadn't gone far when she heard a female voice calling from behind, and she looked back to see behind her the entertaining version of Emily.

Emily trotted a few steps to catch up with Anne: "Anne, where are you going to print something?" ”

"Go to the University of the Arts." Yi Annie replied that she hadn't been to school much since she graduated, and although it was summer vacation now, her tutor at the time seemed to be taking summer classes, so it was better to go and say hello at this time.

Emily narrowed her eyes when she heard this, and smiled narrowly, "Can you still climb a mountain by the way?" ”

Between the press center and the University of the Arts is the Civic Square and the hill with the military museum, which is a short way to climb by foot or bicycle.

Yi Annie nodded, she did have this in mind.

Spring is in full bloom these days, and the weather is also very good today, and you can see the sea when you climb up the hill.

Emily Yangyang's USB flash drive in her hand: "I also go to the University of the Arts." ”

Yi Annie said "Huh": "Emily, you also graduated from the University of the Arts?" ”

Emily shook her head, "But my boyfriend is a summer class lecturer at the University of the Arts. ”

"Hey, hey~" Yi Annie also laughed: "Who is your boyfriend?" I'll see if I've taken his class......"

While chatting, the two walked together along the path in the center of the civic square opposite the press center towards Xiaoshanbao.

"Have you heard?" Emily whispered, "The staff on duty at night said that the press center was haunted last night. ”

"Eh-" Yi Annie hurriedly shook her head, why is it here again, her life has only been stable for less than a day, how can someone tell her about haunting and something like that.

Emily glanced at Yi Annie, feeling that Yi Annie's face was quite cute when her face was stiff: "Aren't you a mysterious version?" I'm here to help you find materials. ”

Yi Annie wanted to cry without tears, why did these things always come to her recently, but out of professionalism, she still asked, "Do you have any evidence and details?" ”

Emily nodded: "It is said that the printer kept printing a terrifying face pattern last night, and a few staff members saw white shadows floating in the corridor, and there were some endless corridors and the like." ”

Anne was dumbfounded.

There is only one person in the two sections, the mystery section and the divination section, and their reports are relatively untimely, so Catherine and Anne are both punctual commuters. But in other sections, there are basically people on duty in the work area all day, and there are a lot more people, so it is a lot more convenient to spread gossip.

Such an exciting thing, Yi Annie didn't hear any wind at all. But on the other hand, the fact that the information center still seems to be calm shows that there are not many people who believe in it.

Turning over the hill, the most prosperous area of Summer City is in front of you, with buildings lined up one after another, and behind you are a forest of sails and seagulls flying between the sun and the sea.

Emily pointed to a bell tower on the hillside and said, "This is where my boyfriend and I first met." ”

The bell tower is white as a whole, the structure is somewhat similar to the lighthouse, it is about a hundred years old, the time on the clock dial is quite accurate, but the time to ring the bell is seriously wrong. Anne remembered that the clock would ring a long series of bells around a quarter past 9 p.m., and it was always a little speechless.

Repairs to the bell tower are proposed every year, but year after year, Anne has lived in the city for five years, and the repair has not yet begun.

"In fact, this bell tower is theoretically the sacrificial bell of the summer city explosion that year, and its construction time was just after the big explosion. But I don't know why, not many people know about it. ”

Seeing that Yi Annie was stunned looking at the bell tower, Emily said.

This was indeed new knowledge to Anne, who had read the inscription on the bell tower and had no information about it.

"Where did you know that?" Yi Annie asked about this, the murderer a few days ago was also related to the explosion in Xia Cheng a hundred years ago, and Yi Annie could be regarded as participating in some kind of demon removal ritual related to this.

Emily replied, "I think I saw it in the library of the Artillery Barracks House on an open house one year." ”

Emily's open house is the day of the year when the various government buildings in Summer City are open to the public, and on that day, visitors can even enter the official residence of the provincial councillor at will.

But "what is the Artillery Battalion Military House?" Anne asked.

She knew that there was a naval base by the sea in Xiacheng, not far from the University of the Arts, and she and her friends visited the shipyard of the naval base on the open day. But with her academic background, looking at those mechanical things is simply confusing.

Emily lightly covered her red lips, and the nails made of delicate yellow gradient rhinestones on her five fingers made Annie a little dizzy.

"You don't even know the Artillery Battalion Military House?"

Yi Annie shook her head honestly, there are many medieval-style marble buildings on the Xia Cheng Peninsula, and Yi Annie has basically been to them on the open day, but she really hasn't seen any places like the Military House.

Emily stretched out her hand and pointed down the mountain, "Right there, haven't you ever been?" ”

Anne looked in the direction Emily was pointing, her finger pointing at the press center...... Oh no, it's a little off.

To the left of the press center, there is a black iron railing fenced in the woods, and among them are several green and white ordinary style houses, which Yi Annie has always thought are some kind of rich people bought big houses in the city.

I took out my phone and looked at Google Maps, and there was really no special sign in that place, so Yi Annie always thought it was a private house.

Emily looked at Anne looking at Google Maps: "Look at the name of that stretch of road. ”

Only then did Anne realize that although the iron-barred house was on the same street as the press center, the name of the street was actually different: "Uh, Royal Artillery Court...... Royal Artillery District, huh! ”

This is really a typical example of darkness under the lights, because Anne is so familiar with this place, she has never noticed that the name of the small section in the middle of this road is actually different, and it is so big.

"This Saturday happens to be this year's open house, otherwise you're going to go out there?" Emily asked, but she quickly reacted again, "Remember, you're going to Blue Beach this Saturday." ”

Saying this, Yi Annie suddenly felt that life was really a strange circle.

Originally, she and Wang Yuxin arranged to go to Blue Beach last Sunday, but they were disturbed by the murderous maniac, and they didn't go last week, so it was changed to this week. If that hadn't happened, she would have been able to attend the horror movie Yakov's meet-and-greet this Saturday and take a walk around the artillery barracks.

Skipping this matter for the time being, Anne remembered that she hadn't called Inferno yet, and had thought about calling yesterday to inquire about the follow-up of the underground parking lot, but somehow she forgot about it.

When she walked to the University of the Arts and registered her information with her ID card at the doorman, Emily went to find her boyfriend familiarly.

Anne Yi went to the design area where she had studied and found a familiar staff member to help her print the documents.

The staff still remembered that there were only more than 200 people in each class of the University of the Arts, and only a few dozen were assigned to the design department, and there were only about ten graduate students, so they were basically familiar faces.

When the staff member heard that Yi Annie was now working in the news center, he first congratulated him, and it was not easy to find a stable job in this small place in Summer City these days.

Then I remembered, "Oh, it's the press center, they have contacted our school over there, and they can help you print things and send them bills." Speaking of which, why doesn't the press center print it for you? ”

Yi Annie was a little helpless and replied vaguely: "The printers are all broken." ”

The staff member was a little unimpressed and nodded: "There are too many rats in our old houses, and it is estimated that your printer has also been bitten off by rats." ”

The implication is that printers at art universities often seem to be bitten by rats.

Anne had no doubts about this. At that time, there were often rats running around in broad daylight in her graduate studio, but most of the rats in the school were relatively small types, and she thought it was quite cute, and sometimes she would inevitably put some leftover rice grains in the corner.

There are still a lot of people who do this in art schools, and this is probably one of the reasons why the rat population can't be wiped out no matter what.

After a while, after the documents were printed, Yi Annie said goodbye to the staff and went to the offices of several tutors to take a look. The staff who worked as a receptionist in the office were also very enthusiastic when they saw Yi Annie, and after chatting for a while, they told her that the tutors of the two summer classes happened to be in class and would probably not be able to return to the office until the lunch break.

Yi Annie looked at the time, she came out of the press center relatively early, it was not ten o'clock now, and it seemed that she couldn't wait for the lunch break.

Out of the office, Anne turned a corner into the cafeteria of the University of the Arts, bought a small portion of the school's most famous freshly made lamb burger, and took it to the school's atrium.

I found a comfortable position in the atrium to sit and bask in the sun, and through the gaps in several buildings, I could see the beach behind the University of the Arts. Many tourists take a walk on the wooden trail on the beach. The waters of the Atlantic Ocean are still very cold during this season, so no one is swimming.

Taking a deep breath, Anne finally took out her phone and called Inferno.

The phone number on the business card that Inferno had given her was the phone number of his large estate, and the call had to be forwarded to reach Inferno's private number.

Anne had beaten a few times, and she always felt that these trenches were really troublesome.
