In the spacious library, there were quietly students dressed in red stripes on a white background, each holding a book, some reading silently, some holding a pen and flying a book, and some just pretending to pass the time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two figures in the corner are nothing special, the girl is holding a copy of applied mathematics "MATLAB Fundamentals", and the computer next to her is running the software, and a regular doxxahedron that is about to be formed is floating in the work area. The boy on the other side was not as studious as the girl, and a thick copy of "Flying Birds" in front of him blocked the "Magnon" pistol that had been dismantled into parts on the table, and the boy was holding the lube to wet the chute of the sleeve, and a red round-tipped bullet was stuck in the barrel.

The silence in the library lasted until the moment the girl clicked back, and the jingle bell echoed in the library like a crisp wind chime, and everyone's eyes fell, some with obvious dissatisfaction.

The girl didn't seem to mind, and snapped the flip of the laptop and put the thick data book in her hand aside.

"Hey, I said, have you finished reading it?"

The girl looked with interest at the set of birds standing on the table, and the crimson book cover was scalded with gold paint and the pattern was swirling around. The boy looked up.

"Wait for me, right away."

There was a click, and a few seconds later, when the boy held the bird set in his hand, a brand-new looking "Magnon" pistol was already in the girl's hand.

"Okay, that should be fine. I feel that the trigger is a little loose because the screws are not tightened, and there is no need to replace the parts, and the people in the equipment department are lying to you, which is obviously a fraud. The boy said indignantly, and at the same time picked up the information in front of the girl, "When you return the books, you can leave, the library is forbidden to bring guns into the library, and you must hide it when you go out." ”

"Thank you." The girl took the pistol with an excited face and stuffed it into the holster under her short skirt, but then a hint of caution appeared on her face, "But you have no problem bringing the gun out so blatantly?" What if I find out? ”

"Just be careful." The boy blocked the girl behind him like a stowaway, and the two walked stiffly towards the service desk at the exit, "Oh, by the way, there is still a bullet in the chamber of the gun that I didn't take out, be careful not to misfire." ”

"I see, thank you, Ye Zifeng." The girl smiled sweetly, came out from behind the boy and trotted out of the glass door of the library, "Here, I'll treat you to ice cream." ”

"No need, I still have classes to go to class in the afternoon, and the professor said that I want to do a mock battle, and I have to prepare now." Ye Zifeng shook his head and walked towards the other side of the girl, "Oh, that's right, Xia Lu." ”

"Huh?"

"Bullets, don't shoot them in the eye." Ye Zifeng smiled mysteriously and strode away.

Xia Lu has been holding a laptop at the door of Ye Zifeng's simulated large classroom, and the monitor next to the main entrance is playing the performance of the symphony orchestra, and the whole corridor will think about melodious music. The blue screen illuminates Xia Lu's face. Ye Zifeng hadn't come out of the classroom for five hours, and Xia Lu was in the library at two o'clock, so Xia Lu waited at the door of the classroom until seven o'clock in the evening.

The sun was still shining outside the window, but the sky was almost dusk and yellow, and there were more clouds. This is not a good sign, the storm is coming.

The door of the classroom opened suddenly, Xia Lu was startled, and looked up at the people who came out of the classroom, Ye Zifeng rubbed his somewhat stiff neck and swayed out of the teacher, with a tired face.

"You're out, how's it going?" Xia Lu closed the notebook and stood up from the ground, patted the dusty short skirt and stood in front of Ye Zifeng.

"Take it, it's not bad・・・・・・" Ye Zifeng smiled awkwardly and scratched the back of his head, "The professor said that I passed the test but ・・・・・・"

Ye Zifeng glanced at it again, hiding his shame.

"But then again, you've been waiting at the door?"

"Hmm." Xia Lu nodded affirmatively. This time it was Ye Zifeng's turn to be surprised, this area of the teaching building was rarely visited, even in the daytime, it looked gloomy, not to mention that the architectural style of the entire academy was still stuck in the eighteenth-century Britain or the nineteenth-century United States, even if the internal space of the building was large, it would only be empty and terrifying.

"It's nothing, there are a few things I've always wanted to ask you." Xia Lu followed Ye Zifeng's side and held the notebook in front of her, staring ahead.

"What did you say to Professor Diana after you came back from Japan last time, and now you flip the table whenever you hear your name." Xia Lu turned her head to look at Ye Zifeng, her eyes seemed to be smiling.

"Nothing, I didn't say anything." Ye Zifeng shook his head, "It's not me. ”

"Oh, that's fine, but it seems that the other party has transferred the hatred very well, and now Professor Diana is talking about your name." Xia Lu smiled lightly, and didn't say any more about this matter, "That second thing, I started caring about it a few hours ago. You tell me, what do you mean that a bullet can't hit the eye? ”

"What do you mean? You just can't hit your eyes. Ye Zifeng shrugged his shoulders and pushed open the wooden door of the teaching building, "Let's go, go to the coffee shop and sit down, I invite you to eat ice cream." ”

"Of course I knew I couldn't get a shot in the eye, and I wanted to know what the consequences would be if I hit the eye." Xia Lu kept up with Ye Zifeng's footsteps and kept asking.

"I haven't seen it with my own eyes, and I certainly don't know about it." Ye Zifeng put his hands behind his head and thought about it on his back, "But I've heard an urban legend related to this incident." ”

"Urban legend・・・・・・ I didn't expect that this academy with top science would have such a boring thing." Xia Lu sighed helplessly.

"Listening to your tone, it doesn't seem to be interested?" Ye Zifeng squinted at Xia Lu beside him and raised his eyebrows.

"I can't say the same, I'm interested in the reaction after the shot in the eye." Xia Lu pulled the topic back from the point of no return.

"This is still going to be the legend. I heard that many years ago, when this academy first introduced firearms into the academy as a defensive weapon for the academy, there was an accident due to the random use of firearms. Ye Zifeng didn't take Xia Lu's efforts seriously, and continued to talk about the legend he had mentioned before. Xia Lu's body on the side stiffened, but she still patiently followed Ye Zifeng's side.

"I heard that a girl was hit in the left eye by a misfire pistol bullet, and because it was the same anesthetic bullet, the bullet had already split open before it was hit, releasing the anesthetic inside. The girl's transient blindness in both eyes was supposed to be the result of the optic nerve paralysis, but surprisingly, the dose that was enough for the person to be comatose did not have any effect other than blindness after hitting both eyes. Ye Zifeng made a fool of himself, pointed to his eyes and explained, "And the girl left the ward after waiting for her eyes to regain her sight in the school hospital, and when she left, she said hello to the head nurse on the night shift, and she didn't even sign her name in the book." ”

"Night shift?" Xia Lu's body was a little stiff, but fortunately, the two walked to the café, said hello to the waiter, and then made it to the window position.

"That's right, it's the head nurse on the night shift, and it's nine o'clock in the evening." Ye Zifeng recalled the content of the legend, and then narrated, he didn't notice Xia Lu's somewhat pale face.

"But the strange thing is that it was already one o'clock in the morning when her roommate saw her return to the dormitory, during which time the girl did not know where she was, and when she heard that the surveillance video was called up, there was no result, and there was no sound in the monitoring range of any surveillance camera during these four hours." Ye Zifeng began to get a little excited. This is the waiter who put down the free meal after serving the drinks of the two, Ye Zifeng pushed a strawberry tart in front of Xia Lu and continued to tell the story, "The most suspenseful thing is that according to this girl's later recollection, she didn't encounter anything strange, and the route was also the usual route, but it felt like the road was longer than usual that day, and she always felt that she would return to the dormitory at the next intersection, but every time she walked through an intersection, she would find that she seemed to have been here before, It was as if she was in a labyrinth. Later it spread online, and people gave it a name, do you want to know? ”

"No・・・・・・ no." Xia Lu took a bite after sip of strawberry ice cream into her mouth, and her eyes didn't dare to fall on Ye Zifeng, as if she was sitting opposite her with a fierce god.

"'Hallucinogens.'" Ye Zifeng ignored Xia Lu's obstruction, but still said it. However, after Xia Lu heard it, she stopped the movement in her hand and looked up at Ye Zifeng.

"Hallucinogens?" Xia Lu's face was full of doubts, "What is that?" ”

"I don't know, there are different opinions about this matter, some people say that the force field of a certain device in the test is not developed according to the budget, and the abnormal electric field affects the current of the human brain, some people say that it is the illusion caused by the side effects of anesthetics on the nerves have not subsided, and even some people say that the girl fell into a different space, where there is the same arrangement as the academy."

"This kind of thing, when you hear it, it's nonsense・・・・・・ "Xia Lu expressed her helplessness, listening to Ye Zifeng say that she didn't get what she wanted to know for so long, Xia Lu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"I don't think it's credible either, so ・・・・・・" Ye Zifeng had a mysterious smile on his face, "Wouldn't it be nice if we went and see for ourselves?" ”

"See for yourself? What to see? Xia Lu felt an ominous chill spread from Ye Zifeng's body, and every time Ye Zifeng showed such a smile, a conspiracy was brewing.

"Although I couldn't really shoot my classmates with a gun, I still found out the part of the road that the girls walked, after all, many people chose that road as the way home, and the shuttle pulled back in the buildings of the college was exciting and interesting."

"What's interesting about this!" Xia Lu protested dissatisfiedly, "I want to go to you, I don't have time to hang out with you!" ”

"Oh? You're scared. Ye Zifeng looked at Xia Lu with a provocative expression, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. After hearing Ye Zifeng's words, Xia Lu's face flushed slightly.

"Humph!" Xia Lu snorted a little embarrassed, "Do you think I'll fall for you?" Dream about it, it's not good for me. ”

"But then again, I looked at the information on that road, and it was five hundred and thirty-two meters long, and it passed through the Ambo Museum and the National Art Museum, oh yes, and the science and engineering teaching building, I remember where you took your classes."

"・・・・・・" Xia Lu's face turned pale, "This road seems to be the path I take to and from school・・・・・・"

"So." Ye Zifeng nodded out the window, "It's getting dark, do you want me to send you home, Miss?" ”

Ye Zifeng got up and bent down towards Xia Lu and stretched out his hand. The corners of Xia Lu's mouth picked, originally thinking that as long as she kept herself, she would not be able to fall for Ye Zifeng's tricks, but she really didn't expect that Ye Zifeng still counted himself.

"No, I don't need it, besides, that road is not necessarily the way I walked." Xia Lu wanted to refute, but she couldn't help but tremble, and she didn't know when it was dark outside the window, and the sun was falling from the horizon like a free fall.

"Okay, let's go together." Xia Lu had to compromise the reality hidden by the darkness outside the window that she was most afraid of, "But I said it in advance, I didn't ・・・・・・ because I was afraid"

The rumbling thunder rang out before Xia Lu finished speaking, and the white lightning illuminated Ye Zifeng's face.

"Yikes!" Xia Lu screamed and returned to her seat, like a frightened kitten, "Let's spend the night in the store・・・・・・

"Stop dreaming, let's go, I'll accompany you home." Ye Zifeng reluctantly picked up Xia Lu from his actions.

"The account will be on my head, and I will pay it back tomorrow." Ye Zifeng said hello to the waiter in the bar, and then walked out of the café with Xia Lu. The strong wind outside made people a little unable to open their eyes, but the rain had not yet come, and the two of them braved the wind, and Xia Lu's long hair fluttered behind her back like a flag.

"Let's go, it's the closest way to go back to your dormitory anyway." Ye Zifeng took Xia Lu's hand and went into the alley on the side. The surveillance camera overhead worked diligently, and after seeing the two men, they followed them for a few seconds.

"There are a few doubts in this matter, so I don't agree with the three assumptions I said before, you don't have to be afraid, there are absolutely no demons and monsters in this city of science." Ye Zifeng patted Xia Lu's back and said comfortingly, "Actually, I was also commissioned to investigate this matter, and the Discipline Committee told me that I was dressed very fiercely recently, so let me come to the wetland to investigate." ”

"Please, then, I'll investigate for myself while I'm away." Xia Lu couldn't take care of it anymore, and showed a pleading expression at Ye Zifeng.

"Well, it's a little difficult." Ye Zifeng thought for a while, and his face was sad, "There is something I want you to help with, it's not that you don't know that my math is terrible." ”

"・・・・・・" Xia Lu has no reason to refuse, now she can only follow Ye Zifeng, without Ye Zifeng's company, Xia Lu does not have the courage to walk back to the dormitory by herself.

"Let's go, analyze slowly on the way, time will definitely have results." Ye Zifeng was the first to walk into the alley, and Xia Lu followed closely.

"First of all, the theory of electric field anomalies, which is the most unreliable one-hop hypothesis." Ye Zifeng patted the red brick wall beside him, "A physics laboratory that comes with it is in the scientific research area a kilometer away, and almost all the research is carried out there, even if there is an experiment to create an abnormal electric field, it will not affect here, otherwise everyone will be able to use free electric lights." ”

"Second, I think the theory of anesthetics to hallucinations may be a bit theoretical, such a powerful anesthetic must have some impact on people, let alone being so close to the brain."

"So you agree with that?" Xia Lu asked.

"That's not all, the impact is definitely there, but that doesn't explain the problem of not being unconscious. It is now certain that the anesthetic bomb hit the human body and did not malfunction, and the anesthetic penetrated all the skin. Ye Zifeng said, "But the girl is not unconscious, this doesn't make sense, even if she hits the palm of her hand, she will be unconscious again, let alone hit her face." ”

"Do you have any guesses?"

"No, I don't have a clue." Ye Zifeng shook his head, "But if you support this hypothesis, the whole thing is easy to explain." ”

"Like this one on top of your head." Ye Zifeng pointed to the camera, "The anesthetic blurred her memory, and she actually walked through the corners without cameras." She said that the places she walked through were actually the result of her unconscious. Ye Zifeng explained, "But this explanation is very far-fetched, the cameras will not be so dense, it is impossible to move forward in a corner without cameras all the time, and I have seen the map, there are cameras in almost every corner of the way for girls to return to the dormitory, which is not clear." ”

"Could it be that the light is too dark?"

"It's possible, but will a moving figure pass by the camera without being noticed?" Ye Zifeng was also a little puzzled.

"Or is it a faulty circuit? If the camera is stopped at a certain point, the camera should be fixed at an angle and continue to shoot, could it be that the girl passed through these alleys between the shootings? Xia Lu said.

"It's possible, but I think a more reasonable explanation would be to pass under the camera while the camera is grabbing the other side." Ye Zifeng stopped and looked up at the camera overhead, "These are wide-angle cameras, so there is a certain amount of time to swing back and forth, and it is possible to avoid the camera's shooting if you take advantage of the gap in the camera's swing to pass under the camera." ”

"But what you're saying doesn't look like a confused girl can do." Xia Lu shook her head, the two of them took another step, turned a corner, and the camera overhead was also left behind by the two.

"Therefore, the theory of illusion is also a bit unreliable, and it can only be said that it is a bit far-fetched if you insist." Ye Zifeng nodded, "And have you noticed that these cameras will automatically carry out imaging capture when someone passes by, in order to record the movement of each student, and the moving objects within a radius of five meters from the camera will become the object of capture, if the girl really has the ability to dodge this function, it really doesn't look like she is in a state of confusion." ”

"What do you think if all three hypotheses are sent out, according to you?"

"I have one in mind." Ye Zifeng smiled slightly, "What if there was a second person present at that time?" ”

The wind rose, and Xia Lu's eyes widened.

"Hey, don't scare me."

"What's there to be afraid of・・・・・・ Ye Zifeng shook his head inexplicably, "What I said is true, if the girl walks through these alleys with another person when she is really conscious, it is very likely to avoid the camera." ”

"You mean to say girls are lying?" Xia Lu was a little surprised.

"Probably isn't it? What's wrong with such an explanation, it's just why do girls lie? Ye Zifeng asked.

"How do I know?" Xia Lu pursed her lips angrily, "Speaking of which, there are no questions about mathematics until now. ”

"The reason for lying may be to have a tryst with the boy I like, which is also the reason why the camera didn't capture it and disappeared for four hours." Ye Zifeng sighed, "The dose of anesthetic filled in the bullet is not enough to be unconscious, and after being discharged from the hospital, I met with the boy at the entrance of the hospital and found a place without a camera for a tryst for three and a half hours, and finally returned to the dormitory for half an hour to make up a bizarre lie." That's my guess. ”

"Huh?" Xia Lu was stunned for a moment, then blushed, "Say whatever you want." ”

"But now the question arises again, can I go back to the dormitory without being caught on camera? Even if it was a little longer? Ye Zifeng's topic is still not over, "How long do you usually walk back to the dormitory?" ”

"About an hour." Xia Lu thought for a moment and replied.

"Let's calculate, it takes about 30 seconds for a camera to turn around, which means that it takes about 30 seconds for a girl to pass through a camera. Counting that there were not so many cameras here more than ten years ago, then according to the calculation of a total of forty cameras, the time required to pass through these cameras is twenty minutes, and one hour and twenty minutes are removed from the four hours that disappeared, and the remaining time is two hours and forty minutes. If it would take forty minutes to leave the hospital to the pre-prepared tryst, the two of them would have only two hours to be alone. Ye Zifeng snapped his fingers, the content of these mental calculations Ye Zifeng calculated carefully, for fear of embarrassment in front of Xia Lu, "I admit that two hours is not a short time, but for tryst men and women, two hours is obviously insufficient." ”

"Then what do you mean・・・・・・" Xia Lu looked at Ye Zifeng.

"This inference was also rejected." Ye Zifeng nodded.

"If you don't have a camera record, you can't be on the run, and you can't be on the run for four hours. Regardless, avoiding cameras is deliberate. I checked the information, but the camera is far from being so concentrated now, almost to no dead ends, at that time the camera was only placed in a key position, like this kind of alley is rarely seen, if you want to avoid it, there is no problem at all, so why should she avoid it? ”

In the end, Ye Zifeng was startled and muttered to himself, holding his chin and thinking down, there was no topic between the two of them, and all that was left in the alley was footsteps.

Suddenly, a soft sound sounded above the heads of the two, and the sound of "meow" startled both of them at the same time.

"Cats?" Ye Zifeng looked at the cat that jumped down from the low wall on the side and was stunned for a moment. Xia Lu stepped forward and hugged the cat.

"Ye Zifeng, it's injured." Xia Lu flipped over the fluff on the kitten's legs, and a clear scar appeared in front of the two of them, "Maybe it's been cut by barbed wire, it looks so pitiful." ”

"Then bring it back and apply some potion to it." Ye Zifeng stood up.

"However, there are rules in the dormitory that stray cats and dogs in the academy are not allowed to enter." Xia Lu was a little embarrassed, "And the medicines in the medical room in the dormitory are not borrowed." ”

Suddenly, an idea crossed Ye Zifeng's mind.

"Cats? Lotion? Forbidden to enter? Ye Zifeng clapped his hands after thinking about it.

"I see! Leave this cat to me, it's really my mascot. Ye Zifeng took the kitten from Xia Lu, who didn't know the truth, and the two walked out of the alley, and the students who stayed in front of the student dormitory rested in groups on the square, relaxing the fatigue accumulated from the day's study.

"What do you understand?"

"Here's the thing, the girl met an injured kitten or puppy on the way to class, and she wanted to treat the kitten or puppy but couldn't get the medicine out of the dormitory, so the girl used the weak ammunition in the pistol to fake a firearm misfire." The two of them walked through the square, "The girl found the drugs she needed in the hospital, and because these drugs were not obtained by conventional means, he couldn't let the surveillance cameras find out that they had these drugs on him, and the hue scan would detect the psychological changes that were being monitored, and if he was found to have a fast heartbeat, it would cause trouble, so the girl avoided all the cameras and returned to the kitten's residence, and treated the kitten with the drugs she found." ”

"You say it's not a regular means, but what is it?"

"Maybe it was brought out by the relevant personnel, if you speculate, it is not difficult to think that it was the head nurse on the night shift who opened the back door for the girl, because the girl was so hurried that she didn't even sign her name when she left the hospital." Ye Zifeng leaned on the lamppost and explained.

"So that's ・・・・・・" Xia Lu nodded thoughtfully, and then glanced at Ye Zifeng, "I didn't expect that my logical thinking ability is so strong?" ”

"Thank you for the compliment, the incident is resolved, and this time the Discipline Committee won't trouble me." Ye Zifeng smiled.

"What are you going to do with this kitten?" Xia Lu looked at Ye Zifeng with some worry and the kitten in his arms.

"Let's stay in my bedroom for the night today, I'll treat his wound and send it to the pet storage center tomorrow." Ye Zifeng touched the top of the kitten's head in his arms, and the kitten fell asleep with a satisfied face.
