Chapter 93 The Mystery in the Residential Building
The girl's figure flashed around the corner, and the raised green silk disappeared behind the wall.
I held a flashlight and shone it at the white brick wall of the school building, feeling a little uneasy in my heart.
But now it's time to escape from the dangerous school building, and the urgent task has been accomplished, so the next thing is to leave this hellish place.
Bypassing the school building, I walked along the tree-lined path in the direction of the school gate.
From the perspective of time, it is now about 10 minutes since the students of the third year of high school have been out of school, and the No. 3 teaching building is completely shrouded in darkness.
Two or three students could be seen on the road. They hurried forward, carrying their school bags and burying their heads deeply.
Looking along a row of street lamps on the side of the road, the two security guards at the gate were still ghostly, standing at the door of the duty room with their hands behind their backs and sticking to their posts.
But there is nothing to worry about, I touched the backpack behind me, and I felt completely safe to go out, they can't stop the students from checking each other's identities one by one.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but walk forward with my head held high.
The leaves of the camphor branches trembled slightly, the mottled shadows of the trees reflected on my face, and the corners of my shirt were gently lifted.
My mind moved slightly, and I realized that the wind was very noisy tonight, and as I walked, I looked up at the night sky, and the dim full moon was obscured by the black clouds around me, and it was still gathering. Could this be... A sign of rain?
A cold wind swept up the yellow leaves.
I shivered and had to hug my shoulders. I had no choice but to wear my coat for Wang Xiaoqing before, and she should have fallen in the teaching building after her tragic death.
When I walked out of the gate, the security guard only glanced at me lightly, and sure enough, he didn't come forward to interrogate me.
I stepped through the gate and glanced around, and there were few pedestrians on the street, and there were almost no cars on the road. All kinds of shops have closed their doors. This is the time for the city to rest.
But not everyone is off work. The taxi driver also wanted to squeeze out his sleep time to make more money — a few yellow-and-white cars parked not far from Qianjin High School, presumably for high school students after school.
Although a car hotel ride is a good choice for resting, I think I still need to squeeze out a little bit of evening time to prepare for tomorrow's mission.
In addition to the hotel, I also know of a place that is brightly lit and open for business in the morning and evening.
After reaching out for a taxi on the side of the road, I opened the door and sat in.
The driver was an elderly man, dressed plainly and with a half-lit cigarette in his mouth.
The smell of smoke in the car made me frown, "Master, do you know the game hall near the school?" ”
The man exhaled a puff of smoke and didn't look back at me, "There is one at the intersection in front of you turning right." ”
"Just go there." I whispered.
For schools in the city, the most common neighborhood is either a stationery store or a game arcade. Because it is often a place frequented by students. But stationery stores are only a last resort for students to study, and game halls are the real "paradise" for bad students.
The students at Qianjin High School must know the location of the principal's office better than I do. There may be unexpected gains to begin the investigation begins.
There were very few vehicles on the road, and the driver stepped on the accelerator to drive the taxi as fast as possible, and soon pulled me to my destination.
In front of me is a dark residential building, and it doesn't look like people are coming and going.
"Here... Is there really a game arcade?" When I was confused, the middle-aged man stretched out his hand and pointed to the intersection between the two houses and said, "You can see it if you follow this road to the south." ”
"That's right, thank you."
After paying to get out of the car, I followed the driver's instructions to walk deeper into the residential building.
There are low-rise bungalows all around, and the houses are a little dilapidated, not unlike the rich families of our village. But in a city full of high-rise buildings, it is a bit like a slum.
The windows of several houses also reveal yellow lights, and the voices of residents can be faintly heard.
I took a flashlight and shone it forward, and saw a plaque nailed to the stone pillar of the telephone pole, with three small characters printed on it: "Xingfutun".
It's not for nothing that a game hall is in such a place. Generally speaking, the kind of game halls that do not have a business license and rely on illegal means to deceive students, of course, do not dare to show their heads on the street, they are hidden in such inconspicuous residential buildings, relying on the word of mouth of students to do business.
There were no street lights installed in the tunzi, and the surrounding environment was dark and silent, only the cold wooden houses stood beside me, which made me a little scared.
Before he could take two steps, two cyan eyeballs suddenly lit up in the range illuminated by the lights!
Immediately there was a shrill dog barking from the hut on the right-hand side.
"Wang! Woof! Wang ——"
A black wolfhound burst out and barked at me, its white fangs dripping with saliva. The screams were like thunder in the quiet night sky, and I was about to have a heart attack.
I panicked and was about to throw off my steps to run, only to find that the chain under the black dog's neck had been pulled into a straight line.
Luckily, the animal was chained, otherwise it would have pounced and left some "souvenir" on my thigh.
The pounding heart gradually calmed down, and I continued to walk south, but the wolfdog did not stop, still barking at my figure.
I have a faint palpitation in my heart... I used to hear the old people in the village say that the black dog has a spiritual creature located between the two worlds of yin and yang, and it can see the existence of dirty things, which means that once someone is haunted by evil spirits, the black dog will stare at him and bark non-stop!
The barking of the dog still echoed in my ears, and I wondered in my heart - it was not at all like a thief on guard, but rather as an enemy of it. Don't... What the hell is following me?!
Thinking of this, I only felt a cold air rush on my back, and I couldn't help but look back
Under the illumination of the flashlight, there was a dirty path behind him, and several plastic bags flew in the air, and there was no figure in sight.
Looks like I'm overthinking. But this kind of place... Is there really a game arcade?
I patiently continued to walk, but I didn't walk long when a wall blocked the way to the south, and there was a card hanging on the wall, on which were written "Game Hall", and then a straight arrow was drawn to the right.
It seems that the taxi driver didn't lie to me, the arcade is on the right side of the intersection. But this kind of place... Even if there is a game hall, will any students really run to this place to play?
But when I think about it, when I was in high school, my buddy in the upper bunk spent three days and three nights in the arcade, and during that time he didn't sleep more than an hour in total. Is the guy who doesn't even want his life afraid of this hellish place?
I sniffed and walked to the right.
As soon as I took two steps, I saw a glittering signboard standing at the entrance of the residential building in front of me. It reads [Thunder and Lightning Game Hall], but its large iron door is tightly closed, presumably to avoid the wind.
I didn't expect that there was such a mystery hidden in this seemingly ordinary house.
I couldn't help but laugh dumbly, put away my flashlight and walked over.
Pushing the iron door with his right hand, the door creaked open.
I saw a middle-aged fat woman who was rubbing grease and powder, sitting at the counter in the room and talking to a few young people.
The structure of the house has obviously been specially remodeled, and the area is thirty or forty square meters. The interior of the house is bright, and there are more than 20 large game machines in the small room, which is commonly known as the arcade machine.
At first glance, there are almost no vacant seats on the machine, and there are really a lot of guests, most of them are young guys in their twenties, all of whom are holding joysticks and playing hotly.
