Xue Mo's glasses were already covered with raindrops, and his blocked eyes were even deeper.

"Since we have agreed to cooperate with each other, then I will show sincerity first." As he spoke, Xue Mo took out a piece of yellowed paper from his pocket.

Li Xumu took it and opened it and found that it was a map. The map is a little crumpled and looks like it has been circulated for a long time, and everything on it is hand-drawn.

"That's right, this is a simple map of Yungang University. It's just that the author doesn't paint it all, just presents the places that have been explored, but that's enough, and you need it so much in this school. ”

Li Xumu walked into a pavilion, and after completely unfolding the map, there was a person as big as half a body. It's all hand-drawn with pencils, and it can be seen that the person who made the map has a certain skill. The traffic routes between the south and east districts are drawn in great detail, and the buildings are replaced by large and small squares, with the names of the buildings indicated on them.

From a macro point of view, this map divides the four districts of the school into four districts in the southeast, northwest, and northwest with dotted lines. The area of the four districts is not the same size. The East End is the largest student area, which contains most of the university's buildings, and almost all student activities are concentrated in this area.

In the teaching area of the southern district, in addition to a few marked teaching buildings, there are several other nameless buildings. In the direction of the north of the South Zone, a river meanders through the Restricted Zone, the North Zone.

The river is also marked with a name, called ** River.

There were no buildings in the North District, just a few mountains and trees. Maybe the author didn't actually go deep into the North District, after all, it is a forbidden area solemnly stated by the school, and he only drew a rough picture.

It is also the West District, which is strictly forbidden for students to enter, and the faculty area. A large number of nameless buildings were also painted, but only one building called the Bell Tower was marked. In addition, Li Xumu additionally observed that many places in the West District seem to have been modified by eraser.

On the map, there are also a lot of strange symbols, such as a few arrows pointing to the west in the southern area. There are also places with crosses. Li Xumu asked questions, and Xue Mo gave the explanation:

"These crosses should be the key places for the school patrol officers to guard, and they are also the places where people watching this map are reminded not to go. As for the arrows, I'm guessing it's the road to the restricted area. Xue Mo then pointed to an arrow at the junction of the South and West Districts, and continued:

This arrow may be the unattended path to the West Side faculty area, which the author should have discovered. However, I would like to remind you not to let curiosity take over the brain. You also see that this is an unfinished incomplete map. The reason why it is not finished is also because of the author ..."

"It's dead."

Li Xumu's hand holding the map trembled. But a few more questions arise, what is the relationship between the map author and Xue Mo? And how did he die? Why is the map in Xue Mo's hands in the end?

Xue Mo didn't notice the doubts in Li Xumu's heart, and then explained the matter of the map: "The reason why this author was able to draw the buildings in the West District, you can also see it, he found a way to enter the West District. But since the West End came out, the whole person is abnormal, that is, crazy. Listening to his roommate, he was in a daze in the dormitory all day long, his face was expressionless, and he kept muttering words he didn't understand, as if he had fallen into an evil spirit. After that, the man disappeared, and later heard that his body was found in the ** river, suicide or homicide, it is unknown, because no trace of the murderer can be found. After this incident, it was surprisingly calm, it seems that the news was deliberately buried, few people know about it, and most of those who know it are hearsay. But the only thing left of this man was this map. ”

Xue Mo pointed to the forbidden area of the North District on the map and said, "This person should have died before he could explore the North District, so the North District just scribbled some trees and mountains. Again, this map could be a lifesaver, and if you let curiosity take over your brain and go somewhere you shouldn't, you might end up like this author. ”

Li Xumu frowned, his eyes swept the map again, and he sighed in his heart how many secrets this school hid, although he was originally a person with a strong curiosity mentality, but he would not be stupid enough to go around and die, even if Xue Mo didn't say it, he wouldn't risk wandering around, not to mention whether he would be caught and severely punished by the school when he entered the forbidden area, and recalled that the forest on the road was difficult to ensure that there would be poisonous snakes and beasts in the school.

But how could this map fall into Xue Mo's hands again? Li Xumu hesitated again and again but didn't ask, after all, it is best to retain some respect in the face of a junior senior, and Xue Mo needs to give some more guidance later. The reason why I didn't ask, the main thing is that I feel that Xue Mo may have used some means to own this map, after all, this kind of thing is what everyone wants to have.

"You gave me such a valuable map? You don't need it anymore? Li Xumu asked tentatively.

Xue Mo nodded, "After all, I've been in this university for three years, and the content on this map has been memorized by heart, and I don't need it anymore." But in the end, I'll give you some advice. In this school, there is no selflessness, for life, many times either you die or I die, and when you get a good reputation, the price may be death. So I also hope that only you can make good use of this map, not only this map, but also many times pave the way for others to survive, that is, to cover yourself with a coffin. ”

Hearing this, Li Xumu couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body. At this moment, the person standing in front of him is so bottomless, and what has happened to make a person so selfish. Perhaps human nature is insignificant in the face of death.

Li Xumu didn't respond, just folded the map, put it in his trouser pocket, thanked him and hurriedly said goodbye and left. I can't imagine that if I can't bring benefits to Xue Mo, how can I help like this? According to what Xue Mo said just now, he is likely to be the only person Xue Mo shares this map. So how Xue Mo succeeded in this map, he couldn't imagine it.

Li Xumu knew in his heart that the cooperation at this time was because of the value of each other's usefulness, and if there was a conflict of interests between one day and Xue Mo, today's cooperation would probably be vulnerable and would become tomorrow's enemy. Such a terrifying person, it is better to be careful.

Xue Mo quietly stared at Li Xumu who was gradually moving away in the rain, until the rain blocked the figure out of sight. Then he slowly turned around and left.

A flash of lightning lit up the gray sky, and a second later, the rumbling thunder shook the eardrums. Li Xumu hurried through the rain to his dormitory.

The cold rain relentlessly soaked his clothes, and his shoes splashed when he stepped into the stagnant water. The rain flowed down Li Xumu's hair in a line.

At this time, an umbrella was suddenly propped up on top of his head, and the sound of rain hitting the umbrella fan was heard.

"Silly wood! Do you rain without an umbrella? Behind him, a girl's voice as crisp as a silver bell sounded.

Li Xumu turned his head.

"Zhang Xiaochai?!"
