Volume 3 The Strange Tales of the Women's Court Chapter 24 The Rat Monster (14B)
I didn't go back to my dorm room, I turned around and went outside.
Skirting the flower beds, I went into the grass.
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, it was not particularly dark.
I watched my feet as I walked. Our dormitory building is on the east side, and it's always very wet, and the dirt outside the building is rotten, and the grass is relatively lush.
So, there are quite a lot of messy footprints in the grass.
As I walked, there was a patch of grass in front of me that fell down, as if it had been caused by a heavy weight for a long time.
It's here!
I walked briskly over to the window of the 1o1 dormitory. The makeshift warden, not far from the window, appeared to have been ...... Attacking.
The so-called attack may also be ......
I bent down and saw a paw print in the fallen grass!
Mouse!
As expected. It's it again!
Turn the tiger away from the mountain. Secret calculations again. Then deal with the real target. I'm afraid this rat is really a goblin monster like Wutong. I thought to myself.
But. 1o7 Ground rune paper left on the window frame is strange. And not in its entirety. Only a few fragments remained. Or burn the rest of the ground.
Who uses the land? Could it be that there are still magicians in our academy?
I thought about it for a while to no avail. He withdrew from the grass. I made a call to the communication room.
Today is Sunday. Evergreen is at home on vacation. Received a call from me. He didn't hesitate. Just say that I hung up on time in an hour. I thought to myself that there was still an hour. Let's go to the dormitory and take a break!
After walking a few steps, a strange thought came to me for no reason: before the holiday, gluttony inexplicably snatched ...... The nine lives of the cat charm, I don't know if it has anything to do with these murders in the academy?
Thinking of the cat charm, I felt faintly uncomfortable, and quickly shook my head to put aside this sentimental emotion for the time being.
"Cousin, are you back? Have you had a good time? "As soon as you hear the name, you know who is coming.
"It's fun." I replied without stopping.
"That'...... How is the harvest of a romantic outing? There was a snigeating snidenade in his voice.
"Humph! Romantic? "I stopped. stared at him coldly, "Just find someone you think is an ugly man to accompany me in the future!" ”
"Ahem! Ugly man? Why? He asked with amusement.
"It's very simple, your aesthetic is different from normal people!" I left that sentence behind and walked away.
Behind him, he smiled ambiguously, as if everything was under control.
The expected reaction was exchanged for an expected smile. However, why is the depth of pride always mixed with a little bitter regret?
He decided to ignore it.
Because, whether it is gluttony or him, fate is destined to be just a bystander who can watch the fire from the other side, even if he fuels the flames, he is also high, and if he gets too close, it is easy to catch fire!
I went back to my dorm room and pushed the door. Ge Hong asked eagerly: "Shen Jun, are you back!" Do you know what happened in 1O7? ”
"Got it. I met Captain Han at the gate! ”
I closed the door, and there was a meal on the table.
"So good. Leave it for me? I forced a smile.
"What now? Another one? Zhang Qi asked dejectedly.
I raised my head, and now the expressions of the rest of the people were very depressed, and Hu Xia's eyes were red.
"Captain Han, they have tried their best to investigate, don't worry too much!" I reassured.
"Do you really think they'll catch the killer?" Gao Yanlan put the word "murderer" very seriously.
I was silent for a moment: "If the murderer is a human, I believe they will be caught!" ”
"What if not?" Min Yu asked.
“…… In this world, there is always one thing descending from one thing, and there will be a solution! I replied vaguely.
"Have you figured it out?" Gao Yanlan kept staring into my eyes and suddenly asked.
"I've got a friend in a minute." I replied, "I'll accompany him around the academy, you guys go to sleep first!" ”
"Friends? What friends? Male or female? What for? Zhang Qidi's eyes were full of question marks.
"My former classmates. Male. I saw that everyone's expressions became very strange, and I thought about imitating Zhang Qi's dialect and added, "It's my iron buddy!" ”
Ge Hong's expression moved, probably guessing who it was.
"Dude? No way? Zhang Qi immediately recovered his gossip nature and came up mysteriously, "Tell me, how does it look?" Tall and handsome? Personable? ”
"It's still chic and dignified! There are so many adjectives, you think it's written! I pushed her away helplessly, "He looks very ordinary. We're just friends, don't think about it! ”
"Ahem! It's not that simple, is it? Min Yu deliberately teased, "Otherwise, why is your face red?" ”
Everyone looked at my face, and they all smiled meaningfully.
The gloomy fog was diluted, and it could be seen that everyone was trying to cheer up.
I cooperated and raised my hand to make a surrender form: "Ladies and gentlemen, spare me!" Let me eat first, and then he will come, see for yourselves! ”
After eating, I went to wash the lunch box and vegetable bowl. Ge Hong hurriedly said, "I'll go with you!" ”
The rest nodded in unison: "Extraordinary times." Don't go it alone. ”
The washroom is not far from 1o7. At this time, it was deserted, and there was no one.
The two of us turned on the faucet and whispered to each other while rinsing the basin in our hands.
"Shen Jun. Is it evergreen? ”
"Yes! I was worried that the murderer was really not human, so I called him to come and visit in person. ”
"Isn't Chang Dao Chang here?"
"Well, it's unfortunate that he recently went back to his hometown to visit relatives!" If it's really a rat...... I mean, if it's a monster, can Evergreen handle it? ”
"Let a dead horse be a living horse! Anyway, there is no one else in front of him who can beat him! ”
"Do you want us to help?"
"Don't. I may not be useful, let alone you. I shook the basin and a few drops of water splashed on my neck, and it was cold.
"Hey, why do you have so much paint on your collar?" Ge Hong said as she wiped it with her hand.
"Uh, Shen ...... Jun, it's blood! You're bleeding! She spread her hands in horror. Blood was dripping from his fingers.
I hurriedly touched my neck with my hand, there was really blood!
But I didn't feel hurt, how could it bleed?
A vague sneer floated from the window.
It's her! Without thinking, I rushed to the window, and there was a withered back hidden in the grass, fluttering, miserable and cold.
It was as if I felt my burning gaze. She turned around, and her hideous face showed a smug but silent sneer.
Laughing, she raised her hand.
I gasped, is that also a human hand? The hair was shaggy and covered with a thick black layer of hair, the nails were long and pointed, shining with cold light, and the fingers were shrunk together like a chicken's paw.
Could she be ...... Mouse?
I saw her slowly stretch out two fingers. Then, as if demonstrating, he hooked his black finger at me again.
"It's the Scarface! What is she going to do? Ge Hong approached me and asked.
"You didn't show her abnormality?" I was a little surprised by Ge Hong's composure.
"What anomaly? She stands in the grass and beckons to you? Ge Hong asked rhetorically.
"Do you see her hand?"
"See. Just like us! What's wrong? ”
Why do we see such a different picture?
"I'm worried about whether you're hurt." Ge Hong touched my neck and said with palpitations.
"No, it's not my blood!" I decided to take a closer look, "You go back to the dorm first, I'll go out into the grass." ”
"Don't go!" Ge Hong grabbed my hand, "Changqing hasn't come yet, it's too dangerous!" ”
I looked at my watch, and there were fifteen minutes before evergreen arrived.
"That'...... In this case, you can go to the communication room for me to pick up Changqing. He had fifteen minutes to go. Then come with him to the grass outside to me, okay? I hesitated and asked.
"It's not good, just wait for him to come." Ge Hong shook her head.
"It's okay, I'm just going to check it out. I'll be careful! I comforted her.
Seeing that she couldn't resist me, she reluctantly let go of her hand: "You have to be careful yourself!" I'm going to pick up Evergreen. If something is wrong, don't be pushy, be sure to wait for us! ”
"Understood. Go ahead! "The two of us walked out of the dormitory together, and I turned to the left and into the grass. She turned to the right and hurried to the gate
Entering the grass again, I was inexplicably nervous. Maybe it's the inhuman-like hand you just saw (hand?). Perhaps instinctively smelling some kind of dangerous scent.
I'm not trying to be strong. Because from my previous experience, I have come to the conclusion that if it or they are going to find you, then no matter how careful you are, you will always avoid it. Case. I just went with the flow.
A few bugs suddenly popped up in the grass. It scared the hell out of me.
I slowed down, listening intently as I walked.
A breeze gusted. The blades of grass were rustling, as if someone was walking on tiptoe, and the edges of their clothes brushed over the tips of the grass.
"Are you looking for me?" Someone asked teasingly.
A strange smell filled the air.
The grass in front of you parted on both sides, and the expected figure appeared!
"You're a murderer?" I asked bluntly.
"Me?" She tugged at the corners of her mouth, "Why do you say that?" ”
"What's the matter with your hands?" I glanced at it, and now she didn't have the black hair on her hands, and her nails weren't particularly sharp.
"I thought you couldn't see it." She glanced at her hand nonchalantly, as if to lick it, "Do you guess I'm the murderer?" ”
I stepped back guardedly, staring coldly at her hand.
"Hey, hey! Or, guess what, was it me who did it yesterday? There were some strange fluctuations in her mood, and her eyes rarely rolled around, "There is a prize for guessing right!" ”
"It's you!" I felt that she was more abnormal than before, and more firm in the inference that she was a rat.
"Hah! You are really smart! She laughed, but there was no smile in her eyes, but there was a touch of cunning and cruel murder.
