Deng Yuhao was surprised to find that the flame burning on the man's body had no intention of extinguishing at all, although Ling Xuezhi and several others had been facing the corpse with a fire extinguisher, the fire was not affected at all, and it was still like the angry Hephaestus showing the horror of the flames. It wasn't until the corpse turned into a pile of black dust that the flames slowly disappeared into the darkness.

Many of the candles on the ground were still burning, reminding those around them that a feast had just taken place.

When the school police arrived, they only saw Deng Yuhao and a few students who came to help put out the fire. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the ashes on the ground, and they even began to wonder if someone had really been burned alive here.

After hearing the news, the director of the school's security department picked up his mobile phone.

"Hey, Principal Long......"

What he said on the phone, Deng Yuhao didn't hear it, but the three words of Principal Long were clearly poured into his ears. It's that Principal Long again, what is he responsible for in the school, is it that as long as there is a death, he will come forward? Many questions swirled in Deng Yuhao's mind, and he had a plan: he wanted to meet this person.

"Who are you here?" The director of security asked.

Deng Yuhao and Ling Xuezhi raised their hands first to admit it, but the others all bowed their heads as if they were deliberately dodging.

"Okay, you come to the office with me, and the others will go back to the dormitory immediately, and we will make a count of the number of people." Seeing that no one responded, the director had no choice but to pull Deng Yuhao and Ling Xuezhi to inquire carefully.

"Deng Yuhao, do you really want to go? That's a problem. Miao Xin said.

"It should be easy, okay, you can go back quickly." After speaking, Deng Yuhao and Ling Xuezhi followed the director of the security department.

When I came to the security office, the director introduced: "My surname is Zhang, and I am the director here, although you tell me about the situation at that time, we will keep a record for the police to investigate in the future." ”

Deng Yuhao and Ling Xuezhi respectively told what had just happened, and Director Zhang asked some questions while recording it. It didn't take much time for the matter to be over.

At this time, a school policeman walked in and whispered a few words in Director Zhang's ear.

"What? Are you telling the truth? Director Zhang suddenly said in a puzzled tone.

"yes, we've all asked." The security guard said.

"Director, what's wrong?" Deng Yuhao asked.

"Oh, it's nothing, go back to your dorm room, and remember not to linger." Director Zhang said with a smile.

With doubts, Deng Yuhao and Ling Xuezhi walked on the way back.

"Xuezhi, did you notice that person's feet just now, I seem to see that his toes are not touching the ground."

"Why, when I went up to put out the fire, I still saw him standing."

"Even if I'm wrong, why can't the fire go away, I've heard that the only way to burn people to ashes is in a crematorium."

"How can you be the same as Li Tao, if that person wants to commit suicide, he will definitely pour gasoline on himself or something......." Saying this, Ling Xuezhi was also puzzled, and then changed his mind: "Yes, it seems that I didn't smell anything when I went to put out the fire just now, but a big living person was burned like that, even if the body has no smell, then there should always be a burning smell of clothes, now that I think about it, I really didn't find any strange smell, could it be that I was too nervous?" ”

Just when the two of them were puzzled, a black shadow suddenly passed by, and if it weren't for a few footsteps, the two of them really thought they had encountered a ghost again. Looking at the dark shadow again, it turned out to be an adult in a hurry. Deng Yuhao only saw his back and the red scarf around his neck, he put his hands in his pockets, and walked straight to the security room.

"Who is this? It's scary to run out at night. Seeing the man walking away, Ling Xuezhi whispered. But the man in a hurry turned his head and glanced at the two of them.

Through the street lamp, Deng Yuhao saw that it was a middle-aged man with half a cigarette in the corner of his mouth. With a cold look, the man continued to walk towards the security room.

"Wow, are his ears radar? You can hear it. Ling Xuezhi shook his shoulders and said.

Deng Yuhao looked at the man's back and didn't answer, but he had a strange feeling in his heart.

Back in the dormitory, Deng Yuhao also lost interest in the computer, only felt that everything was too strange, and soon lay on the bed and fell asleep, but his eyes still flashed the terrifying scene in the square. At that time, Deng Yuhao really felt that someone was hiding nearby, but it was a square, could it be this time......

................

In the office, Director Zhang stood next to the man and reported to him what he had just discovered. Then respectfully waited.

The man with the red scarf smiled lightly and said, "Lao Zhang, this is not once or twice, do you want me to teach you what to do?" ”

Director Zhang said nervously: "But this time there are many students who have witnessed it with their own eyes, although they don't dare to say anything, it is hard to guarantee that there will be a bird like Deng Yuhao Ling Xuezhi." He pointed to the notes on the table.

"People are curious, and they don't necessarily find anything, you have to remember the purpose of this school." The man said.

Director Zhang took off his hat and said with an embarrassed expression: "Principal Long, my health has been getting worse and worse recently, when can you help me ......?"

The man glanced at him and said, "Are you threatening me?" If you don't want to do it, there are many people waiting for this opportunity. ”

Director Zhang immediately said in horror: "No, no, no, Principal Long, don't get me wrong, I just want to try again, otherwise I'm afraid that something will go wrong with me and something bad will happen." ”

Principal Takashi lit a cigarette and took out a corked test tube from his bag, which contained a pale green liquid, crystal clear, as if there were countless crystals floating in it. Director Zhang saw the things in the man's hands, and stretched out his hands tremblingly.

"As long as you do it well, I won't make you feel sad in the future." The man threw the test tube into Director Zhang's hand and walked out. Director Zhang closed the door, pulled up the curtains, and squatted in the corner of the wall with a cower.

He looked at the pale green liquid in the test tube with a twisted smile on the corner of his mouth, then pulled the cork and drank the liquid from the test tube into his stomach in one gulp. After more than ten seconds, Director Zhang slowly stood up and stroked a white meridian that suddenly appeared on his neck with his hand.

The meridians spread along Director Zhang's neck, and in an instant, Director Zhang's arms and face were covered with white. And he actually smoked marijuana, closing his eyes and enjoying the stimulation that flowed all over his body. What's even more bizarre is that Director Zhang's body is slowly disappearing.

In just four or five seconds, there was no trace of Director Zhang in the office. Suddenly, Director Zhang reappeared and fell to the ground sweating profusely.

"It's almost ......," Director Zhang gasped.

.......................

The next day, the school made one such announcement on the radio.

"All students should note that according to the school's investigation, the object that burned in the square last night was not a student of our school, but only a bulletin board set up by the school, and after the investigation, the school preliminarily determined that there was no report of missing or dead students, so please don't panic about what happened last night, and the school also prohibits discussing this matter in public places, so as not to cause unnecessary disturbances, as for the cause of the fire, we are still investigating, and it is preliminarily determined that it was caused by a student's candle."

"Whew! What, we have seen it all, how can we cover up the facts so blatantly? Ling Xuezhi stood on the balcony and said.

Deng Yuhao already knew that there would be such a result, and said: "Forget it, hurry up and clean up, Li Tao and they are all going to the school gate." "I received a call from Li Tao in the morning, he had already met with Sima at the airport, and he was going to school at noon, so he discussed going to the most expensive restaurant in the school to have a meal, of course, Deng Yuhao would not mention who would give the money.

As soon as he opened the door, a handsome boy was passing by the door, and Deng Yuhao was immediately enveloped by an inexplicable feeling, which was the same as last night in the square. When Deng Yuhao turned his head to look at him again, the boy had already pushed open a bedroom door and walked in.

"What are you doing, let's go." Ling Xuezhi closed the door and said.

I don't know if it's because I'm old-fashioned or because the pace of this world is too fast, Deng Yuhao found that except for himself, everyone seems to have changed a new look.

When Sima came back from a trip to the United States, he made his hair into black braids, and he was cold and speechless under the swing of his windbreaker, but in fact he was stunned.

Li Tao is really handsome without glasses, which almost made Deng Yuhao lose confidence in himself, and a circle of brown hair around his yellow leather coat gives people the feeling of a crown prince.

Needless to say, Ling Xuezhi's style is not to mention, but what about himself? It's always a jacket and jeans, and although the price is not cheap, sitting with the three of them still feels like being out of step with the times.

Since they came to eat, Deng Yuhao and Ling Xuezhi didn't mention last night's incident, and they still ordered food and began to talk about how they celebrated the New Year. Fortunately, Ling Xuezhi talked a lot, and he didn't give the three of them a chance to wipe their mouths, otherwise it would be a shame if everyone knew that they were eating instant noodles during the New Year.

In the past, when there was no television, the teahouse at the passenger station was a place where people exchanged information, and news from all over the world could usually be heard in these places. So when the four of them were eating, the words of the classmates still came to their ears.

"Isn't it really alive that burned last night?"

"Who knows? I think it should be, if those girls are so miserable, everyone is not blind. ”

"But I really haven't heard any words from the dormitory that anyone is missing."

"In a few days, when everyone is here, there should be results."

Li Tao's keen intuition told him that something must have happened again, so he asked, "Yu Hao, what are they talking about?" ”

Deng Yuhao and Ling Xuezhi told Sima and Li Tao about last night's incident, and at this moment, Li Tao naturally stopped thinking about eating.

...............

It's been three months, and I haven't heard from them, and sometimes I want to make a phone call, but I can't get any words. I missed my appointment in the first place, and of course I can't expect them to come to me. Forget it, you can live alone anyway.

Finally, one morning in early winter, I received a call from them. At first, I didn't dare to speak, for fear that they would scold me for breaking my appointment. But they still talked to me as before, and told me good news.

After hanging up the phone, I finally laughed for the first time at Nan Song Vocational High School, they are really nice, and the agreement between us has not changed, yes, it will never change.
