Chapter 2: First Encounter
Yuan Huaxing was a little surprised to see that the lock was new.
"New locks? Don't worry about it for now, try to open it. β
This bold girl just thought about it for a while, and then decisively took out the tools prepared in advance, and after a while, a sense of elasticity came from "Bar Click", and the lock was opened.
"What a genius I'm in!"
When the door lock was removed, the wooden door on the left seemed to be a little deformed, and it could not be moved, so it could only push open the right one, and there was no imagined dust explosion and cobwebs inside.
A very large hall, nothing, the afternoon sun shines through the windows on the blue and shiny concrete floor, there are slight cracks left by the years, the green paint on the wall, probably dark green in the past, now a little faded, some places a little peeling, the wall seems to have pasted something before, with different shades of marks.
There was a corridor to the northwest of the hall, and at the top of the corridor was a window, but it did not play a role in the light, because the glass was not transparent, and on the north side, there was no sunlight to speak of, only a faint light reflected in the vicinity, but it was extremely gloomy, except for the sound of her breathing, everything was very quiet.
The dark corridor made her feel a little uneasy, perhaps because of the natural fear of darkness in humans. But she only hesitated, then took out her flashlight and walked in.
There are only walls on the left side of the corridor, there are three doors on the right, there are small doors and windows on the wooden doors, but they are all pasted with paper, those rooms are very dark, she didn't use a flashlight to shine on these small windows, her father told her, when she is alone, don't be easy to be curious about unknown things, although she has come to this old building because of curiosity, but the purpose of her coming here is just to find the iron door in the dream.
Each of these three door frames has a white-lacquered iron sheet on the side, which reads "Specimen Room 1, Specimen Room 2, Specimen Room 4." β
"What about the four rooms and the three rooms of the specimens?"
When I walked between the first and second rooms of the specimen room, a staircase appeared on the left side of the corridor, and there was an iron fence door on the side of the staircase.
At this time, her heart beat faster, since the stairs are up, this should also be able to go down, is there a basement, she took a flashlight to shine inside the fence door, and found that there was no staircase down, but there was another door inside, there was no small window on the door, this iron door was not the same as in the dream, the door was obliquely pasted with a white seal, the seal said September 10, 1993 seal, other small words were not very clear, and the door was marked with "specimen three rooms".
"What the hell was this building used to do, and why did it have so many seals?"
Puzzled, she continued to walk into the corridor, and when she reached the end of the corridor, she turned left and there was another corridor, this time it was really dark, and there was not a single window.
"Was the structure of the old building so weird before? There should be a light on this,"
The flashlight shone on the wall with an old-fashioned black switch, and she tried to flip it, and the light came on.
There are only two lights on the wall, the light is dim, there is nothing in the corridor that turns left, there is no door, the dark green wall is not faded at all because there is no sunlight, it is empty and deep, there is an inexplicable sense of oppression when she looks at it, she is not staying, she turned off the switch, and returned the same way.
Before coming to the middle staircase, I took a flashlight and shone it first, and it seemed that the upstairs was not too dark, so I ran up.
On the second floor, there was no corridor on the left, there were two doors on the opposite side, nothing was marked, and there was a hall as big as the first floor, and she went up one floor, and the third floor was the same as the second floor.
The third floor is the topmost floor, and there is nothing special except for a world map hanging on the wall of the hall.
The last thing she found in the hall was a door to the rooftop outside, which was unlocked and opened with a slight pull.
"Rooftop! I knew that this door was not locked, and it took that effort. β
There were a few low cabinets that were too old to be used, and a few chairs, and on the side of the roof there was a winding stone staircase with stone handrails, which was the stone staircase she had just seen.
"This old building doesn't have the door in the dream, just those few rooms, which should have stored specimens in the past."
In this moment of silence, a "meow~woo~" made Yuanhuaxing come back to his senses.
She followed the sound and found a low cabinet with only one cabinet door, squatted down to look, and there was a white cat coiled inside, with messy hair, skinny, and a few kittens under her belly, and the mother cat saw her showing a little frightened eyes.
"Don't be afraid! Cats. β
As he spoke, he reached out to touch the mother cat, saying that it was too late and that was fast, the mother cat was not ambiguous at all, and with a sound of "Bang", a paw hit her hand, and the blood came out at once, and she pinched the wound with some anger.
"You bad cat, you're really ruthless!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange sound reached his ears.
There was some tinnitus sensation, and there was a particularly thin "hiccup" sound in a muffled voice.
At this time, the cat's whole fur in the cabinet exploded, and its tail suddenly became very thick, and it kept flicking on both sides.
"Come on! I can't afford to mess with you. β
As soon as the whisper fell, someone in the garden suddenly exclaimed.
"How did the lock open?"
Yuan Huaxing heard the sound, realized that someone was coming, and quickly squatted down, the stone guardrail on the roof was plate-shaped, and there were some creepers' dead vines as cover, but it was very hidden.
She peeked towards the door, a girl with short hair was taking the lock off, and there was a teenager in a wheelchair behind her, the lock was handed to the boy, just looked at it, and he slowly looked up at the rooftop. Although Yuan Huaxing was a little flustered, she didn't make a big move to expose herself.
"Did he find me? Isn't this a deserted building, who are they? β
The voice of a short-haired girl came from downstairs, "Thief? Scold! Isn't there anyone interested in specimens here? Bold enough. β
"Let's take a look first." The boy's voice is gentle.
Yuan Huaxing waited for a while, and found that the two people had entered the building, and she whispered to the low cabinet: "Little pity, there is a chance to bring you something to eat."
She then moved and quickly left the rooftop, the main entrance of the garden was open, which was much more convenient.
After that, she would often come to the rooftop of the old building to feed the cats, of course, when it was empty.
A week later, Yuan Huaxing came out of the teacher's office and hurried to the rooftop of the old building to feed the cat, and her dreams were all forgotten, because she was not in this building, and found the iron door in her dream, which was strange, and she never had that strange dream since that time.
She had observed that the old building would not be occupied until after five o'clock in the afternoon, and the boy in a wheelchair had seen it a few times, and the short-haired girl pushing him in the garden.
Just entered December, the weather was getting colder and colder, Yuan Huaxing thought that the down jacket he just bought was too big to climb over the wall, so he only wore a school uniform and tied a scarf, and ran out with a small flashlight.
Taking advantage of the slightly dark sky, she once again went into the garden, came to the rooftop, and tossed the chicken liver and steamed buns together and put them on a small plate. The poor she-cat had been getting closer to her lately, and had nothing to do with her fed.
The low cabinet has been modified by her, and the side without the door is set up with a rotten school uniform that I don't know who doesn't want, which can block some wind. After she crouched down and pushed the plate in, she took a look at the mother cat and her children, and everything was fine.
At this moment, she had just lowered the curtain of her rotten school uniform, but she saw a pair of shoes on the right behind her.
Originally, this garden was very dark, with the old feeling of the whole building, it looked particularly gloomy, at this time, a silent, standing behind what could be?
"It won't be like that."
Although her father often talked about these supernatural things, it was the first time she had encountered them herself.
Yuan Huaxing felt her scalp explode, a chill was colder than the air outside, she stiffened for a moment without any movement, and was thinking about what to do, she couldn't look back, and suddenly a very small voice seemed to be in her ear.
"Quick!"
As soon as she heard the human voice, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the ground with a weak leg, looked back without a good face, just wanted to have a seizure, her heart sank again, except for the sound of the wind blowing the dead vines, in addition to the door leading to the building, there were a few tables and chairs, where was there someone behind her.
She could feel the hairs on her arms in her clothes standing on end. It was the first time she felt that her legs were so disobedient, and when she listened to her father before, there was no sense of horror, but when it happened to her, it was really a different story.
"Stand up, stinky legs."
She secretly scolded herself in her heart for not being angry, she was about to stand up with her low cabinet in her hand, a pair of cold hands covered her mouth from behind, and the sound that she had already "ah" to her mouth at that moment did not come out, and the figure that was just about to get up was also pressed down by the other hand.
"Shhhh
Her heart skipped to her throat, but then she calmed down a little, because she looked behind the left and saw that it was a girl who covered her mouth, and the girl didn't look at her, but she didn't know why she looked alert, and then slowly let go of her hand, Yuan Huaxing was puzzled, and with a little anger.
"Girl, are you using too much energy? What is this for? β
"Do you use a lot of force? I didn't try too hard! I can't explain it here, it's almost late for self-study, let's go! β
The girl whispered as she pulled up Yuan Huaxing, who was sitting on the ground, and without waiting for her to ask again, she quickly grabbed her arm and got off the rooftop.
In the distance, inside a car.
"Master, ε€§ι¬― (chΓ ng) stiffens it ....."
"Use one more corpse talisman, and don't take blood these days."
"Yes! Master. β
Yuan Huaxing and the girl who was pulling her stumbled to the playground, her teeth bared and panting.
"What are you doing? Can you explain that now? β
"You go to feed the cats every day, don't you feel eerie about that kind of deserted building? I've never heard of the legend of that building! β
The girl's words did not satisfy Yuan Huaxing.
She took advantage of the lights of the playground to quickly take a look at the girl, who was only wearing a turtleneck sweater on such a cold day, tall and tall, with long hair tied into a high ponytail, and her face was very white, she frowned slightly at this time, and her eyes were still vigilant.
Yuan Huaxing was nervous by her expression, and after looking at it, he pretended to be a little displeased.
"What are you talking about? How did you find out I went every day? And aren't you cold? β
"My name is Chen Xiao!"
The girl didn't say anything more, and the bell for the evening self-study rang all over the campus.
"I'll explain later, Yuan Huaxing, let's go! Evening self-study. As she spoke, the girl walked back into the building.
"Chen Xiao? Seems to have heard it somewhere. Ay? How do you know my name? Yuan Huaxing also followed.
