Chapter 12: Dorm Night
The cafeteria is not far from the dormitory, and Tao Yao only wears slippers to go out because many students have returned home at the end of the semester, and the dormitory building is a little deserted, and I can't hear the noise of the past, and I can't see a single figure.
The lights in the stairwell are voice-controlled, and you have to make a sound to turn them on, but I don't know what's wrong today, no matter how she steps on the ground or slaps her hands, the lights just don't turn on, only the glow-in-the-dark signposts installed on the wall at the corner of the stairs emit an eerie green light.
Since she met that man, she has added a monophobia to the original fear of thunder, looking at the dark corridor, let alone going downstairs, she is a little panicked when she sees the darkness.
Suddenly, from downstairs to the top, there was a steady and powerful sound of footsteps, not like the sound of a girl walking, but like a ......
She involuntarily retreated to the door of the dormitory, and before she could take out the key to open the door, suddenly, the light in the hallway flickered a few times and went black.
She became even more flustered, her hands trembled, and she couldn't get the key into the lockhole.
Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, the more panicked she became, and suddenly there was a "click", and the key was broken in the lock.
Her heart thumped as if broken, and the strength of her body seemed to be drained at this moment, and she sat limply on the cold tiled floor with her back against the door, her head buried between her legs, and shivering.
"Classmate, what's wrong with you?"
Along with the familiar male voice came the light of a flashlight.
Tao Yaoyao's tense body suddenly relaxed, and when she looked up, she saw that the person who came was Jinbao, a maintenance worker in charge of repairing the public facilities of the dormitory building, who was standing in front of her with a flashlight in one hand and a toolbox in the other.
10,000 grass and mud horses galloped past in Taoyao's heart, why didn't you use a flashlight just now? Why didn't you speak up sooner to identify yourself? Why...... Omit 10,000 whys!
But seeing that the other party has a good character, she once came to the dormitory to repair the water pipes for them, and saw that they not only did not report the illegal electrical appliances used in the dormitory, but told them the precautions when using them, the anger in her heart finally turned into a pitiful smile: "Uncle Jin, I broke the key in the keyhole, I can't get in, the light in the corridor suddenly went black again, I'm scared ......"
Jinbao smiled and handed her the flashlight: "Take it, you come to illuminate it, I'll help you get it." ”
Tao Xiaoyao took the flashlight and hit the light at the location of the keyhole.
The corridor was too silent, and the sound of tinkering with the keyhole was particularly loud in the corridor, and there was an echo, and the wind blew in through the window at the end of the corridor, blowing into her thin clothes, and her back was cold, and she was suddenly creepy.
While fiddling with tools, Jinbao asked Tao Yaoyao: "School is on vacation, everyone is gone, why haven't you come home yet?" ”
"I'm going to leave tomorrow."
"You're alone in your dorm tonight?"
"Yes."
"Then you have to hurry back tomorrow, this year the school doesn't know what's going on, it's going to be closed, and students are not allowed to live in dormitories during holidays."
"Oh, okay, thank you uncle for the reminder."
As soon as the words fell, I heard a "click", and the key that was broken in the lock hole was taken out, and the dormitory door was opened at the same time.
Tao Xiaoyao walked into the dormitory door and returned the flashlight to him from the inside, but a sly smile suddenly flashed on his face.
Tao Xiaoyao felt that something was wrong and hurriedly closed the door, but Jinbao pounced.
