The development of the city has turned the branch campus in the suburbs into the throes of a bustling city, and the surrounding lights look like acne on white skin.

Xie Qiang rushed to the school gate a long time ago, and waited until after 11 o'clock, when it was sparsely populated, before he found a chance to climb over the wall.

After some searching, I finally found a small cafeteria in the corner near the girls' dormitory.

The name of the small canteen is the small canteen, and the mottled door number is covered with stains, but you can still see these three words clearly through the rotten wood.

Gently pushing the door, the door fell straight down, and the dust splashed in the sky with a loud bang, making Xie Qiang cough for a while.

For a long time, the dust settled.

Xie Qiang looked at the small cafeteria.

The things in the small cafeteria are not as neat as in the picture, so they are canteens, more like utility rooms or garbage dumps.

All sorts of things were piled up in the east and west, leaving only a passage of less than a meter in the middle, just enough for people to pass through.

Many of them were covered with a dusty white cloth, revealing edges and shapes that made it impossible to tell what was underneath.

A handful of things that are not covered, messy and everything.

The flashlight light swept through the miscellaneous objects, and suddenly a protruding edge and corner moved, Xie Qiang's heart tightened, and the flashlight light shone straight through.

The movement just now is not an illusion, perhaps because of the light source, the movement is even larger, the area continues to expand, and the small objects are convex and concave, like a flowing river under the white cloth.

"Rustle."

The sound of shredding was getting louder and louder, Xie Qiang took a heavy breath, opened the white cloth with one hand, and suddenly felt a wave of nausea, under the white cloth was full of layers of cockroaches, one by one quickly leaving the range of the flashlight beam.

The cockroaches spread rapidly around the center of the pillar of light, but the number of the beams did not decrease at all, as if this was a bottomless pit belonging to cockroaches.

A cockroach, Xie Qiang will not hesitate to trample it to death, but there are so many cockroaches that he can only swallow saliva wildly, and when he steps on it, the cockroach does not trample a few to death, but falls into it by itself.

took a few steps back, wanting to stay away from this disgusting scene, but something happened to his lower back, which made Xie Qiang feel like he was being pointed at a gun for a while, and when he looked back, it turned out to be a wooden stick.

It looks like the rod of a broom, but with a line of words written on it in flowing handwriting.

Curious, it reads: I will never be able to sweep away the flies and dogs, nor can I kill the ghosts.

"What do you mean? It's kind of interesting to read. ”

Xie Qiang simply stretched out his hand and wanted to pull out the wooden stick, but the wooden stick seemed to be pressed by something, and he didn't move at all.

At this time, the cockroach on the side had almost run, revealing what had just been blocked by the cockroach.

It was a large cardboard box with a large hole in it, and light shone through the hole, and there were sporadic cockroaches scurrying out of the hole.

It's just that the cardboard box seems to be just a cockroach's nest, and there are a lot of undistinguishable debris underneath, but there is nothing abnormal.

"Looks like I'm thinking too much, cockroaches."

Xie Qiang let out a sigh of relief, what he was most worried about was that a corpse would appear below, but it turned out that he did think too much.

In just a few meters, it had already been delayed for a few minutes, Xie Qiang did not stop any longer, but walked along the aisle and walked inside.

The width of the aisles seems to have been measured, and they all maintain the same width, and the scenery on both sides has not changed in any way. But the channels have intersected and diverged from time to time.

Xie Qiang would choose the right road every time, and after turning a few times, he stopped in surprise.

Although there is no rule in the accumulation of debris, the passage is deliberately left at right angles, and the distance is about the same every time. It stands to reason that after turning around a few times, I should have walked back and closer to the gate.

But now through the gap of debris, Xie Qiang couldn't see where the gate was at all, as far as the eye could see, there were debris everywhere, there were passages everywhere, and even the walls that could be seen at the beginning were gone.

The small cafeteria you see outside isn't big, at least not as big as it is now.

And what made Xie Qiang feel strangest was that he couldn't see the wall, so he was naturally farther away from the window. But now, although the light is still dim, it is much better than before, and even without the help of a flashlight, you can see everything around you vaguely.

The abnormal scene made Xie Qiang a little worried, and in order to verify his idea, he began to retreat and walk back according to the distance he came.

After a few more turns, I still didn't see the gate and the familiar scene at first.

"Labyrinth? Ghost hitting the wall? ”

Knowing that he was afraid that he would not be able to get out for a while, Xie Qiang instead let go out and simply walked around inside.

It's not always safe to stay in one place, so just break the routine and see if you can find any clues.

The scene in the small canteen is the same, every 60 steps will come to a crossroads, it looks the same, but after careful observation, Xie Qiang was surprised to find that there are different things he encounters every time.

It's just covered with a white cloth, and the difference isn't obvious.

Walking irritably, Xie Qiang simply pulled away the white cloth covering the debris beside him.

There were books, stacked neatly stacked, and they looked new because the white cloth kept the dust out.

I picked up a book and opened it, this is a textbook, and there doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary.

After a quick flip through it, Xie Qiang was about to put the book down, but his hand stopped in mid-air.

Hold the book closer again, and on the side of the page, write a name in a red pen.

“***？”

Xie Qiang subconsciously read it out, but he didn't expect a sudden voice from behind him: "Here." ”

A spirit, he quickly turned around, but behind him was still a white cloth covered with debris.

With a sigh of relief, Xie Qiang picked up another book, and sure enough, there was a name written in the same place.

"Liu Keke?"

"Here."

Xie Qiang heard very clearly, but this time he was not in a hurry to turn back, he could feel that there seemed to be an extra person behind him.

Holding the book in his hand, he turned his head inadvertently, and just as he was about to look behind him, someone's feeling suddenly disappeared, and when he looked back, there was really nothing.

"Can't turn back, can only turn your back? It's a bit of a scary feeling. ”

Having said that, Xie Qiang's movements did not stop, he found a random copy and read the name on it again: "Chen Nian." ”

"Here."

Sure enough, there was a response behind him, and unlike the previous two times, this time it was a female voice.

Qiang couldn't help but didn't look back, Xie Qiang thought for a while: "Why don't you go to class?" ”

It was just an act of temptation, but I didn't expect to get an answer from behind.
