Thirty-seven. Abandoned Trickstery
Lu Li walked towards the building that had been dormant on a rainy night.
Xishan Private High School has two buildings: a teaching building and a dormitory. Searching one by one is bound to be inefficient, which is one of the reasons why Lu Li has to act separately.
He wasn't even worried about Yang Chunxue's safety. If you encounter a ghost that can't be beaten, just go back to the ghost book.
Yang Chunxue drifted towards the dormitory, while Lu Li crossed the playground all the way to the steps of the teaching building.
Looking up from the bottom of the steps, the school building is hidden in a substantial darkness.
The more bustling the place, the more desolate and eerie it becomes. Hospitals and abandoned schools in front of them are good examples.
People may not be afraid of the long streets late at night, but they would never want to walk into a school or hospital at night.
Stepping on the waterlogged steps, Lu Li slowly walked up the stairs and pushed open the glass door to enter the teaching building.
The glass door behind him slowly closed, and the sound of rain was kept out of the school building.
Lu Li put away his umbrella and hung it casually on the doorknob behind him.
With a kitchen knife in his right hand and a flashlight pinned to his chest with his left hand, the light flickered in the hall on the first floor.
On both sides are corridors that stretch to the left and right, and in front of it is a series of upward steps that extend in front of the wall and then split to the left and right.
It is noteworthy that on the wall facing the front hangs an oil painting of a European medieval figure.
Inexplicable and nondescript.
This portrait is one of the seven inconceivables, but Lu Li did not perceive the yin qi from it, so this strange story may just be a rumor.
Lu Li's target was the third class of high school, and he swept straight across the first floor and walked upstairs.
He inevitably approached the medieval painting on the wall, which was larger than he had imagined, and the figures in Victorian costumes were the same size as they were. When viewed up close, the eerie sensation is uncomfortable.
Lu Li didn't pay much attention to this portrait without the slightest yin qi, and turned to go upstairs.
Behind the sudden darkness, a pair of eyes in the oil painting slowly turned to Lu Li.
The teaching building has three floors.
According to the idea that the first floor is one high, and the second floor is the second high, the third floor should be the third high school. The sign on the staircase confirms this.
Da-da-da-
In the empty and lonely dark corridor, the sound of footsteps slowly echoed into the darkness.
The rain slapped against the window of the corridor on the right, and the occasional white lightning bolt instantly illuminated the front and back of the corridor.
On the left is the classroom, which can be clearly seen through the window.
The neat tables and chairs, the scattered textbooks on the tables, and the remnants of chalk handwriting on the blackboard suddenly seemed to make people feel that these seats were full of students, and the sound of speech echoed in the hallway.
It's a terrible feeling.
Moreover, the school has been abandoned for so long, and the useful things should have been emptied by the idle people.
What could have happened to make the homeless unapproachable? Or the homeless people who entered have already ......
Senior 3 (1) class, senior 3 (2) class...... Senior 3 (3) class.
Looking up at the door number, Lu Li stopped. Push the door into the classroom.
The flashlight illuminates the classroom, which is empty and crowded.
Floating dust capers in the beam.
Lu Li stepped off the podium and flipped through the books on the table one by one.
Yang Juan...... Song Weizhi...... Cui Tian ...... Naomi Hiramatsu ......? Yin Xiangfeng......
Desks, names passing by. A few minutes later, Lu Li found a line of familiar Chinese characters in the third-to-last row by the window.
Liu Zhen.
There wasn't much on the desk, just basic textbooks and workbooks.
Pick up the exercise book and open it, the words copied on it are neat and beautiful, and it is impossible for people to associate with the water ghost who is as cold as a snake.
Click-
Lightning and thunder appeared at about the same time. Lu Li raised his head suddenly, and his reflection remained on the window.
After staring for a few seconds, Lu Li retracted his gaze, put the workbook back in its place, and turned to leave the classroom.
Dozens of seconds later, Lu Li appeared in front of the office door at the end of the corridor.
The door was half-hidden, and Lu Li raised his hand to push it open. The office creaked out in front of you.
There is still no yin qi......
Lu Li stood in front of the office door, his eyes following the flashlight across the silent office.
The flashlight flickered around and retracted, suddenly shining into the corner of the office.
Lu Li's afterglow told him what he had just captured.
Looking back at the corner of the office, a dummy stood in the corner of the wall, wearing a blue and white sailor's suit—the uniform of Nishiyama Private High School.
Silently retracting his gaze, Lu Li walked into the office, closed the door with his backhand, and rummaged through any textbooks with the word Liu Zhen.
The faint sound of rain came into the office from outside the window, and Lu Li quickly turned the pages of a test paper in his hand. Suddenly aware of something, he raised his head and turned to look at the only eerie dummy in the office.
His dark eyes shrank slightly.
There was still not the slightest yin around him.
But the dummy is no longer in its original position.
It moved more than a dozen centimeters outward than just now—or rather to the land.
Lu Li thought about it, closed his eyes, and opened them after a few seconds, but the dummy did not move.
He looked down again, pretending to look at the papers on the table, and after a few seconds, he looked up, and the dummy was still motionless.
Lu Li decided to ignore it for the time being, and picked up a stack of test papers.
Quickly flipping through the poems of irrelevant students, the sound of the bang is non-stop. After more than ten seconds like this, the word Liu Zhen jumped into his eyes.
Skipping the test questions, Lu Li flipped the paper to the end.
In the composition column, a line of words that he was interested in came to mind: "My family".
The composition uses simple words to describe Liu Zhen's own family, his parents and older brother. There is also Liu Zhen's hope: to be admitted to a key university and work to take care of his family.
A simple image leaps onto paper, but everything came to a halt a few years ago.
Seeing this, Lu Li suddenly remembered something and turned his head to look back.
A figure was almost close, clinging to him. Lu Li's breath hit it, and the cold bounced back.
The dummy's head, without facial features, was raised and seemed to be staring at Lu Li.
Lu Li repeatedly confirmed that there was no yin qi around, and there was no "dummy who can move around" in the incredible strange talk of Xishan Private High School.
Lu Li put down the scroll of poetry for the time being, lifted the weightless dummy, and put it back in the corner. After thinking about it, he pulled over the desk next to him and blocked it in the corner.
After doing this, Lu Li returned to his desk, pulled over a boss chair and sat down, picked up the poem scroll, and began to read again.
A few seconds later, the paper slid down, revealing a pair of dark eyes.
In the corner where those eyes were looking, a dummy grabbed the edge of the table, stepped on the table, lifted his long skirt, and remained motionless.
“……”
Lu Li quietly picked up the test paper and covered his vision again.
It took half a minute to read the composition again, Lu Li put down the poem scroll and looked at the dummy.
Unsurprisingly, the dummy figure reappeared in front of him. Its head was drooping, and its facial features stared coldly at Lu Li.
The atmosphere froze for a while.
Then Lu Li suddenly stood up, scooped up the dummy, walked to the window and opened the window, the wind and rain poured in, and threw the dummy out of the window.
