(Foreword)
That mysterious veil seems to be extremely ghostly, but under the reality, it is nothing more than ordinary.

Professor Wu is on the podium intently explaining the complex knowledge of quantum physics. I was drowsy and kept the textbooks in front of me to cover up. I've been working on writing information about artificial intelligence for the past few days, and I'm seriously lacking in sleep time. In addition, Professor Wu's knowledge is too profound, and I think I can fall asleep even if I am standing.
Cui Li gently patted me, waking me up from my slumber.
"What's wrong? What happened? Did Professor Wu ask again? I rubbed my sleepy-eyed eyes and looked at Cui Li blankly.
"No, no, do you remember the last time I told you?" Cui Li suddenly became mysterious.
"What's the matter? Is it because you write poetry? I've said it, I'm not interested in that at all, you can just study it slowly by yourself, and you don't have to drag me into the water. I said unhurriedly.
"What and what are you talking about? I mean, last time I told you, about a recent school rumor. It's the research room that cries in the middle of the night, have you forgotten? Cui Li whispered.
"Oh, what am I talking about, that's what I mean. That kind of thing is basically a joke made by the bold seniors, specially used to scare the timid juniors. The timid juniors then spread false rumors and eventually became weird, and there was nothing to make a fuss about. I closed my eyes again.
"Listen to me, when a classmate passed by the research room yesterday, I heard it again, it's true!" Cui Li used an exaggerated expression to make me believe. "Why do you think it's a research lab? It's annoying, but we're talking about artificial intelligence a lot there. In this way, I almost dare not go. ”
My drowsiness suddenly disappeared. Cui Li is right, why is he in the research room? The research room is on the top floor of the teaching building, and it is relatively close to the back of the corridor, so few people usually pass by there, so who would joke there? My brain was racing. But I knew too little information, and after thinking about it for a long time, I didn't come to any conclusions.
"Cui Li, you say...... Why is it in the laboratory? "I looked at Cui Li.
"How do I know? If you can, it's better not to be there. Cui Li sighed and said.
"You say, shouldn't we go and see for ourselves if this legend is true?" I proposed.
"You're crazy, I'm not going." Cui Li waved his hand vigorously, looking reluctant.
"If you don't go, then forget it, I'll go by myself, but I seem to have heard that the senior sister in the literature department likes brave boys the most, such a good opportunity, forget it, forget it." I deliberately accentuated the tone of my speech.
"Wait, what did you say?" Cui Li suddenly became active.
"I said that the senior sister in the literature department likes brave boys the most." I have repeated what I just said.
"Really? How would you know? You didn't know anyone before. Cui Li showed a look of disbelief.
"You think, the protagonists of ordinary literary works are not all handsome, intelligent, brave and the like, what goes to the dragon's canyon alone, or fights the tall giants, in short, they are all such heroic images." I started talking. "So those girls who study literature must have a hero complex in their hearts. Isn't this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Just imagine, when the time comes, the school will talk about you, how to bravely uncover the truth about the laboratory. Will that senior in the literature department still not know about your heroic deeds?"
Seeing that Cui Li's expression had changed significantly, I knew that nine times out of ten he was made clear by me.
"Well, I think you have a point. For the sake of your sincerity, I will go with you to unravel the mystery of the laboratory. At this time, Cui Li felt that he was a hero who had embarked on a journey.
"Good! That's a deal! Just tonight, together we are looking for the truth. I said seriously, feeling like I was standing on a stage play.
"Okay, that's it." Cui Li's expression was even more exaggerated than mine.
Just as Cui Li and I reached an agreement, I saw Professor Wu looking at me and Cui Li angrily. I hurriedly picked up the materials next to me and took notes on them.
October 15, 2021 at 22:25 p.m
Cui Li and I went to the top floor of the teaching building. The dark corridor seemed to have no end in sight, and we held the flashlight in our hands, which suddenly reminded me of the scene of the research group test I participated in with Cui Li not long ago, and I was also standing in a dark corridor like now.
"Are you saying it's really just a joke from the students?" Cui Li looked at me timidly.
"It's all here, just look at it."
We walked to the door of the lab, but there was no crying inside.
"Cheng Yin, you see that there is no sound of crying today, otherwise, let's go back quickly, right? It suddenly occurred to me that I might not be a good fit to be a hero. Cui Li was about to turn around and run back. But I grabbed it.
"It's at the door, why don't you go in and have a look?" I shone my flashlight on the door of the lab.
The door to the research room was not closed, but ajar. I pulled Cui Li and gently pushed open the door of the research room. It was pitch black in the lab, and I took a flashlight around to take a picture, but I didn't find anything out of the ordinary.
"Let's go, you see there's really nothing. Maybe it's just a joke made up by someone. Cui Li covered his eyes with his hand.
"Well, it really doesn't seem like anything." I affirmed Cui Li's statement this time.
But just as we were about to leave the laboratory, we suddenly heard something.
"Ahh Let's hurry up!" Cui Li looked scared.
I followed the voice. It turned out that the glass window of the research room was shattered in a small piece. It's windy these nights, so when the wind blows through the glass windows, it makes a noise, a bit like a crying sound. It seems that the mystery of the laboratory has been solved.
"It's the wind." I pointed to the glass window on the wall and said to Cui Li.
"What? It turned out to be the wind. It scared me a lot. Cui Li shone a flashlight on the glass window.
It seems to be just a false alarm. I looked around again and there was nothing out of the ordinary.
But at this moment, I suddenly noticed a figure outside the door of the research room.
"Who! Who's where? I shouted. What's going on? Cui Li on the side asked.
"Someone, it seems that this laboratory is not that simple." I said.
"You say, could it be that you're also classmates who came here to uncover the truth like us?"
"I don't know. I didn't see it clearly. ”
"Forget it, let's go back quickly. Anyway, we've found the truth about the lab. Cui Li said.
