Chapter 8: A Thriller Night (1)
Pretending to meet by chance halfway, Su Ming and Zeng Hongyu, who were together, soon arrived at the front of the first floor of the complex building - the agreed gathering place.
After arriving, Su Ming found that in addition to themselves, there were already six people, four men and two women, and there were two bags of things next to them, which should be props and food and drink for celebration later.
A total of eight people participated, in other words, Su Ming was the last to arrive.
But Su Ming didn't care, because he didn't overtime, and the good sleep before made him feel refreshed and had enough energy to deal with emergencies.
One of the four boys, a thin boy with glasses, stepped forward and stretched out his hand enthusiastically, "Then you are Su Ming who Xiaoyu praised, I am Miao Qiyi, the president of the Suspense Club, call me Yi Ben, thank you very much for your help today." ”
Su Ming gently shook the outstretched hand, a little cold.
Then the president began to introduce the others, and Su Ming also greeted them, they knew before that there was no surprise but curiosity, after all, in theory, in fact, only a few dared to really skip class.
Fang Yuhui, who Su Ming didn't want to see, was also among them, and the two sides greeted each other normally.
One maintains a smile that doesn't want money, and the other maintains a smile that looks like he sees a friend's generous manners.
The others didn't notice anything unusual, and after reporting their names, they continued to talk excitedly about the next "ban" plan.
"Su Ming."
After hearing the voice, Su Ming turned his head and found that President Yi stretched out his hand, and there was a USB flash drive on it.
"I listened to your request, give. This is your reward, and I hope to play together if I have the opportunity in the future. Yi said with a smile.
"By the way, and I hope you don't spread the word. After all, we are a suspense club. ”
Su Ming took Yi's USB flash drive a little unexpectedly, and said solemnly: "Okay." "An attitude of expressing one's gratitude.
As for not spreading the word, it is understandable, after all, the school hopes that the club will be used as an extracurricular activity (supplement) to enrich campus life, rather than taking the lead and affecting learning.
Although Su Ming doesn't know how much information there is in it, it will definitely not be too little, and there will definitely be interesting content, once it is spread, other classes don't know what will happen, and there must be many people in his class who focus their attention on it, and treat it as a hot topic.
The degree is not guaranteed, at least it will affect learning.
After that, the teacher discovers the abnormality, investigates, and finds the source according to the process system.
If the content is more exciting....... Su Ming gave up and continued to imagine.
At least the current self will not be so boring, and the future self will not be in the hands of the current self.
This is also the reason why the school has a "system" to "permissive" club activities.
Su Ming glanced at the USB flash drive in his hand, and the materials he had been waiting for for two days were inside, both a little excited and a little nervous, this may be the only progress since the trial began, or it may be a basin of cold water.
Of course, Su Ming didn't plan to run for the next test of courage, because if an abnormal or supernatural phenomenon occurred, he could directly prove the value of the USB flash drive, and as for the dangers, there were many kinds of dangers, and some dangers were destined to be unavoidable.
If there is no one here, then only Shi Xinyue is left to find the information in the end, but unfortunately he has not replied until now, I don't know if he has seen it or ignored it.
After that, I not only have to go to various places in the school to check carefully, but also reorganize my thoughts, or quietly relive my high school life and wait for the crisis to come.
Of course, in addition to this, Su Ming also wants other plans, but those plans are relatively bad, the means are worse, and it just so happens that the courier will arrive tomorrow, if there are still no clues, Su Ming will not continue to play the role of a family with NPCs, after all, only a living salted fish can qualify as a salted fish.
Now Su Ming wanted to turn on the computer when he returned to the classroom, but now he had to press his slightly excited heart, carefully put the USB flash drive into his schoolbag, and closed the zipper.
President Yi heard Su Ming's concise response, smiled, and learned from Xiao Yu that Su Ming belonged to the kind of person who was not good at communicating, although it seemed that he had other feelings.
But it's not important, the most important thing is that Xiaoyu evaluates Su Ming as reliable, and this year's relationship makes him believe in Xiaoyu's judgment.
"By the way, I think it's incredible, but is it really okay for so many of us to gather here?"
Su Ming saw so many people gathered here, and he felt very piercing.
Although the school ethos seems to be relatively free, it is also relatively undetected on the basis.
The others just smiled and didn't answer, Zeng Hongyu just gave a reassuring look and didn't explain anything.
Su Ming was confused, but he didn't ask, believing others.
It is impossible to grasp all the information, this is what Su Ming recognized.
So it is necessary to trust others a little, Su Ming looked at the battery of the mobile phone, and there was still a power to continue recording.
The reason for believing in others, in addition to the fact that it is a relatively good option, is more importantly, to believe in yourself.
Contradiction? Not contradictory.
After chatting with each other for a while, the president briefly explained the precautions and distributed the needed items in groups.
The group is divided into four groups, two groups of two men, two groups of one man and one woman, corresponding to two music rooms on the third floor and two music rooms on the fourth floor.
There was no bloody plot when grouping, and Su Ming and Fang Yuhui were divided into a group, but Su Ming and Zeng Hongyu, whom he was familiar with, were put in a group, which was a normal operation.
However, if an event is normal, there is an abnormality, and normality exists relative to the abnormal.
Although it is inevitable that unforeseen things will happen, but the result is similar to expected, Su Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the relationship between the two is very awkward, just like the three years of high school in the real world They are like parallel lines.
Su Ming and Yu got a key, an MP3, a white flower and double-sided tape.
The key is the door corresponding to the music room, the MP3 is used to play the recorded piano sound, and the flower is used to make tokens and is glued to the place where the score in front of the keyboard is glued with double-sided tape, and the logo is made on it to avoid cheating.
It's very simple, but the most important thing to test the courage is the mysterious unknown, and the rest is auxiliary.
Su Ming and Zeng Hongyu walked to the stairs, and the two remained silent on the way, only the sound of shoes on the ground came out.
When he was about to reach the third floor, Su Ming suddenly asked.
"By the way, did you find out what happened here when you were investigating by the Suspense Society?"
"Huh?" Zeng Hongyu was taken aback because Su Ming suddenly spoke, "Hey, don't speak suddenly." ”
"Someone in our company asked and thought it was groundless. However, the president said that the senior brother had asked the relevant person in charge and the guards of the complex building, but the result was that nothing happened. ”
"Why do you ask this?" After reaching the third floor, Zeng Hongyu turned to look at Su Ming, because his back was to the moon, the shadow was long, and due to the backlight, the front became dark and couldn't be seen clearly, but he could hear Yu say in a low and slow and gloomy tone: "You... Fear... up..."
After hearing Yu's voice, Su Ming's body shook suddenly, and he trembled and stretched out his hand to point behind Zeng Hongyu, and stammered, "But... That... There..."
Before Su Ming finished speaking, Zeng Hongyu turned around, and then Su Ming's calm voice came from his ears, "Nothing", realizing that it was not good, a huge force came from his buttocks, giving Yu forward acceleration.
The boring farce, Su Ming complained psychologically, his body was still very honest and cooperative, and the tension was gone.
Zeng Hongyu also reacted quickly, skillfully moving one foot forward and sinking his body downward, neutralizing the forward acceleration by increasing the friction with the ground, avoiding the occurrence of wrestling.
"Hey, why are you still like this?" "Because you're still like this."
Su Ming overtook Zeng Hongyu from behind and walked forward, ignoring Zeng Hongyu's commotion.
Zeng Hongyu looked at Su Ming's indifferent appearance from behind, pouted, and followed.
"Warning you not to stare at my ass, I'm going to be disgusting."
"Cut."
Zeng Hongyu looked at Su Ming as if he was on guard, so he temporarily gave up his plan to kick back.
When he arrived at the door of the 302 music room, Su Ming began to compare the difference with the observation at noon, the door of the music room was locked, and the difference was that the brightness was very low, the curtains were still open at noon, and the sun shone into the music room, so it was very bright, and now it was dark outside, and the music room looked through the edge of the window that was not drawn by the curtains, it was pitch black, and it was obvious that the curtains on both sides were closed.
Deep in the shade? Psychological effects?
The door opened, Su Ming turned on the light casually, well, it's good, and said to Yu in the back: "I'll go pull the curtains and open the window, and you go to stick the flowers." ”
"Good. By the way, you be careful, don't push too hard, there will be dust. ”
"Hmm."
Su Ming first opened the curtain on the side of the door, and found that there was a classroom opposite that had turned on the lights and opened the curtains, which seemed to be another group on the same floor.
After a glance, Su Ming went to open the curtain on the outward side, then opened the window near the piano, and looked up at the sky, there were no dark clouds, no stars, only a lonely waning moon hanging on it.
Then he turned around and saw that Zeng Hongyu had already glued the flowers, and asked, "By the way, where do I put the MP3?" ”
"Put it in the shadow behind the lid, and when the power goes out, even if you use a flashlight, you won't be easy to find."
"By the way, no one else will pass by this night."
"It's okay, I asked the teacher on duty about the situation, but no one used it tonight, so I chose today. Even if someone comes in temporarily, we'll warn you. Okay, you go and turn off the lights, pull down the power switch, and I'll turn on the MP3 on time and everything will be OK. ”
"Hmm."
After Su Ming turned off the lights and the electric switch in the room, Yu also turned on the MP3 to the maximum note, and the piercing piano sound sounded in the classroom, although the volume was not as loud as the real piano, but it was enough for people close to this classroom to hear.
The reason why it is necessary to time it is because the recording content starts to have a sound, which is used to determine whether the MP3 is good or bad, and then there will be a blank period until the piano sound starts to sound again after a certain time after the trial begins, so luck is still very important.
After the two left the classroom, Zeng Hongyu locked the door, and the new students drew the key at that time.
Su Ming looked at the white moonlight spilling into the empty and dark room from the window music room, and the chaotic piano sound came from the unmanned piano, which was a terrifying thing for the new students who were drawn here.
If the lights in the corridor suddenly went out and Zeng Hongyu next to him suddenly disappeared, it would be very exciting and terrifying for Su Ming.
Of course this is only hypothetical, only if.
"Yu?"
Su Ming turned around, ready to say what happened next, and found that Zeng Hongyu didn't know when he would disappear.
Then the lights went out in the hallway, no, the lights in the whole building.
The pitch black environment, the sound of sudden silence, only the silvery moonlight falling on the unmanned piano, and a harsh noise was heard.
The adrenaline starts to rush and the head starts to heat up.
All kinds of ideas poured out of Su Ming's mind, starting from which link there was a problem.
It is impossible not to be nervous, but-
Su Ming took a deep breath, let the heat expel his body, tried to relax the tense muscles of his body, and began to calmly think about the cause and effect and the actions afterward.
First thoughts, run? Leave? No, Su Ming immediately vetoed it, that was just a sign of weakness.
Combined with the current information, there are many possibilities for Su Ming to get along in a short time, but the biggest possibility-
Su Ming calmly took out his mobile phone from his pocket, clicked, and suddenly a bright light appeared, showing that he was recording.
Su Ming looked around, there was no sudden grimace, his pale cheeks were pierced, blood-colored tears flowed, and his long black filthy hair caressed Su Ming's cheeks with the cold night breeze.
Psychologically seems to be a little disappointed, definitely because of the failure to confirm the content of the crisis, not because of his own reasons.
Su Ming shone his mobile phone at the door of the classroom and locked it.
So, is the possibility of Zeng Hongyu's revenge maximized? Su Ming recalled that Zeng Hongyu had said before that he would turn off the electric switch.
The chaotic piano sound echoed in my ears suddenly stopped, is it time for the demonstration?
Su Ming did not let his guard down, but waited in place.
Afterwards......
After that, there was a bit of hurried footsteps at the staircase recently, and under the illumination of a flashlight, seven people from the Suspense Society, including Zeng Hongyu, came over, among which Zeng Hongyu was holding a mobile phone to Su Ming, obviously taking pictures or videos.
"I'm sorry, that was Xiao Yu's prank just now, we thought he told you to turn off the main power gate of the complex. I'm so sorry. At this time, the voice of President Miao Qiyi.
When he approached, Su Ming looked at Miao Qiyi and apologized sincerely, it seemed that the president was still responsible for his own club.
Just, is it really okay? Is it really pure revenge on that guy?
"Cut, so calm, I thought I could shoot someone panic." However, Zeng Hongyu said in a regretful tone on the side.
At least that guy has a desire for revenge, that's for sure.
"Yu."
"What are you trying to do to hit me, hehe, I'm sorry I won't be attacked by you this time." Zeng Hongyu said with a grin, "Tell you to kick me." One report and one report. ”
"Nope." Su Ming stretched out his finger expressionlessly, pointing to the top of Zeng Hongyu's head.
"Cut, that's it again, a little new, okay? In the situation where everyone else is there, where do you get your confidence..."Zeng Hongyu, who turned his head halfway through speaking, found that the surroundings suddenly quieted down, and when he looked back, the other six people in the suspense club were quiet, looking at the top of his head with an unbelievable look of fear.
Zeng Hongyu slowly raised his stiff neck and found that there was nothing, no, there was a "snap" sound, and a huge pain came from his buttocks.
"Because I'm confident in your stupidity." Su Ming said lightly, he was indeed too nervous just now, and when an accident occurred, his first reaction was actually supernatural, but he didn't expect it to be artificial, and he almost caught the way, although it would not be spread if the wisdom was ruined here, it was also a lesson.
Zeng Hongyu exclaimed, "No, president, how can you unite with outsiders." ”
"You're too badly beaten." "Well deserved." People from other clubs laughed.
President Yi smiled at Zeng Hongyu and said: "In order to save the image of the club, sacrifice it, what's the problem." ”
"No... No. Under the coercion of everyone's eyes, Zeng Hongyu also knew that his joke was too big and he was angry.
At the moment when Zeng Hongyu looked down at his phone, Su Ming raised his head and glanced at the top of Yu's head, and exchanged his eyes with Yi.
Originally, he was still hesitant, but seeing Zeng Hongyu's expression of continuing to die, Miao Qiyi, who was also angry with Zeng Hongyu, quickly nodded and agreed to sell him, as for the rest of the community, they didn't have any opinions, on the contrary, they liked to hear it.
After the punishment was over, the group went downstairs in total darkness with the help of a flashlight.
When he went downstairs during the period, Su Ming, who was walking behind, glanced back at the dark corridor and classroom, was there really no problem?
President Yi also glanced back at Su Ming, who was walking at the end, the moment they met and Su Ming's eyes met before, Su Ming's eyes seemed to be cold with an attitude of indifference to everything, but after blinking, he returned to the appearance of meeting at the beginning, as if it was an illusion.
The Su Ming in front of him seemed to be very different from what Zeng Hongyu described.
seems to be taciturn, but in fact, it's easy to get along after getting acquainted, the style is very direct, saying one is one, and the most important thing is to be able to make jokes, even if you often annoy him, it won't be good.
But judging from what I said just now, it doesn't seem like a joke, is the joke too big?
Moreover, President Yi looked at Zeng Hongyu, and Xiaoyu seemed to be more active than usual.
Thinking of the eighth member who suddenly couldn't come, Miao Qiyi thought to himself, wait, is he too sensitive? No matter how you look at it, these things are not connected.
After going downstairs, the president began to explain the next action, took out four white masks from the bag and gave them to the four people, including Su Ming, and took the masks in his hand Su Ming and the three men from the other community to go up.
The president, Zeng Hongyu and two other women went downstairs to wait for the arrival of the four freshmen.
The four of them walked into the staircase.
"Anyway, a few people will be taken aback tonight."
"It's hard to say, it depends on luck, and when I was interviewed, those four people looked timid."
"When you first joined, how were the trials going?"
The three of them from the suspense club with Su Ming began to chat, and Su Ming, who was trying to get information, also joined in.
On the fourth floor, the two stayed behind and stood by as planned, and the trial began to wait for an opportunity to pretend to be ghosts.
Su Ming and one of the men walked to the 5th floor, walked to the front of the classrooms on both sides, and when they arrived, they raised their mobile phones and shook them.
Su Ming and another man are mainly responsible for observing the situation, although it is very dark, but new students usually use mobile phones or flashlights to illuminate, so it is generally easy to observe, and secondly, the two ghosts will also send information to the group in time.
If there is any situation sent to others through the WeChat group, run down in case of emergency.
Seeing that the light source was also shaking on the other side, Su Ming locked the phone in his hand, went to the nearest toilet, and found the props that were not found and thrown away.
Then back in the hallway, Su Ming put the props on the ground, leaned forward and leaned against the railing, waiting for the start while thinking about the problem.
That's what I ignored before, the problem of the suspense club itself?
At first, I wanted to get some rumors from here, but I ignored the suspense club, the source of information itself.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, there are many unreasonable points.
First of all, there is the problem of the key and the venue, Su Ming has no experience in this area, and he does not know the difficulty of borrowing the key, nor does he know the difficulty of confirming that the venue is unused.
But no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like a small club can do it.
Pure relationship? Where? Still is?
Secondly, it is the problem of power outage, because it was all oral before, and in terms of mouth, Su Ming didn't have much reaction to this, but after the power was really cut off.
Su Ming at least confirmed that this suspense club is not simple.
Electricity safety is really not a joke, the electrical box part that controls the main power supply should be locked, and the key should be kept by professionals.
At the beginning, when he said that the power was off, Su Ming thought it was just the electric switch in the classroom, but it could be operated.
But even the electricity of the voice-activated lights in the corridor is turned off, which means that it is the main power supply of the complex.
Is this something that students can touch? It has to be a matter of how much it is related to the third suspicion.
That is, the preparation plan is too adequate? Even Su Ming felt cautious, was it really just planned according to the experience of his predecessors?
Is it really just a test for the new and an entertainment for the old? Need to be so troublesome?
Adhering to the tradition of the Suspense Society, Su Ming recalled Zeng Hongyu's description.
Tradition? When did the tradition begin?
In addition, about such a conspicuous question about a group of people, the seven members of the suspense club laughed and said nothing.
There are many problems that do not seem to have any problems, and once you doubt, you will find that there is a problem with everything.
It is not possible to confirm which doubts are real problems and which are just pure coincidences, but the peculiarities of the suspense club can be confirmed.
So from the information obtained from the suspense club, Su Ming had an impulse and ran to the computer room on the sixth floor to open the USB flash drive to take a look, but remembered that the door was locked.
Want to run? Something is wrong? But it doesn't seem to be a life-and-death crisis?
And if you leave at this point in time, you can basically say that you will go back to the dormitory alone.
Looking for someone? How is Lou and Bao?
Forget it, Su Ming thought to himself, wait and see what happens, anyway, his other purpose is to find something abnormal.
A lot of doubts can only indicate that there are secrets, and they may not have anything to do with the secrets they need to explore, or wait for direct evidence.
Although it may be late by then, the next night, the four-day survival trial, is already the second night.
There is no clue at all, Su Ming is more than seventy percent sure that he will die miserably on the fourth day.
