Chapter 64: The Underworld
It was still late, and the twilight was four, Zhang Weiyong stood at the school gate and watched the last bit of sunset slowly disappear below the horizon. He was waiting for Zheng Gang www.biquge.info, in fact, he didn't expect Zheng Gang to be late.
At seven o'clock in the summer, the sky was not completely dark, and there was always a faint light in the sky, Zhang Weiyong raised his head and looked up at the night sky that was about to darken, feeling that the next night might be extremely long.
At about 7:15, Zhang Weiyong saw Zheng Gang coming, he was wearing a new set of snow-white sportswear and sky-blue sneakers. The stubble and hair on his face were shaved clean, and he looked very energetic.
But Zhang Weiyong noticed his eyes, which were a pair of eyes that had not slept for a long time, completely lost their lustre, like the walking dead, the area around the eye socket was puffy, and the eyes were bloodshot, which did not match the clothes he was wearing today, just like the conservative torture after a long time and suddenly put on a new set of clothes, which made people contradict each other.
"You're here anyway." Zheng Gang said hoarsely, his voice completely changed, Zhang Weiyong almost didn't hear it clearly, he never knew that a person's voice could be torn to such an extent, it was completely like a broken gong.
"Isn't that what I should say?" Zhang Weiyong felt a little strange, "Why did you decide to come to E City, you don't want to come when I say this, why did you change your mind now?" β
"I didn't do it voluntarily." Zheng Gang seemed to want to frown his eyebrows to show himself serious, but he was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to wrinkle his eyebrows, but the wrinkles on his face symbolically moved, "I was forced." β
"Huh?" Zhang Weiyong was not good, he could let this former policeman be forced to come to E City, how much ability should this be, he noticed the bulging muscles on Zheng Gang's body, even the loose sportswear was crowded by him, it stands to reason that this man should not be forced according to his character and strength, but why did he come to E City like he was tortured? How powerful was the man who forced him?
"Advanced school, someone is still waiting for us." Zheng Gang yawned, turned around and walked towards the school.
Zhang Weiyong noticed that there was no security guard at the entrance of the school today! There was no one at school on Sunday! This is simply impossible to happen, because the door is still unlocked in the absence of the security guard, which is already a violation of the school's governance regulations.
But Zheng Gang obviously didn't notice these details, and walked all the way to the school's laboratory building, he was very tall and had a big pace, and Zhang Weiyong trotted all the way to keep up.
"Who's waiting for us at school?" Zhang Weiyong was a little scared, this school has an eerie and terrifying feeling at night, in this case, there are still people who dare to take it in the school, it is estimated that it is Zhong Yan and them again, you don't have to think about it, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky to call yourself.
Zhang Weiyong remembered the incident of Ye Che, could it be that they were going to do it again this time? He glanced at Zheng Gang beside him, as if he was familiar with the terrain in the school, and walked straight to the innermost staircase on the first floor of the experimental building.
"You probably have a good relationship with them." Zheng Gang's voice was a little ethereal, probably because he was really tired, he gave people a very helpless feeling, but for some reason, this helplessness gave Zhang Weiyong a little courage, and he felt that the next time might not be as terrible as he imagined.
After this long night, Zhang Weiyong recalled how naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve he was at that time, and the moment he looked up at the sky at the school gate, it was doomed that the long night seemed to be endless.
"Here we are." Zheng Gang stood still at the top of the stairs and turned his head to look at Zhang Weiyong, "Do you know what to do next?" β
"Huh?" Zhang Weiyong was confused by the question, he followed Zheng Gang from the beginning of entering the school gate, how did he get here, he began to ask himself, "Don't you know the road?" β
"They just told me to come here, and then the rest asked you. Zheng Gang stared at Zhang Weiyong's eyes, trying to see from his eyes whether he was lying: "Is there a basement here in your school?" β
"Basement?" Zhang Weiyong shook his head, "I never knew how there could be such a thing as a basement in the school." β
"Looks like we're going to have to look for it." Zheng Gang looked around, "They said wait for us at the bottom of this staircase. β
Maybe that's what it means? They may not have arrived yet. Zhang Weiyong carefully recalled the structure of his school, there is indeed no such thing as a basement, how can there be such a thing as a basement in the school, even the garage is in the open air, which is convenient for students and teachers to park.
"They've arrived." Zheng Gang didn't stand still like Zhang Weiyong, he searched around, as if to find the entrance to the door, "They told me before I came. β
"Ah, I found it." His low, hoarse voice suddenly lit up, and he pointed to a secret door hidden under the stairs on the first floor, "Is this it?" β
Zhang Weiyong walked to him and followed his finger to see that there was indeed a secret door, but why did he stay in the school for nearly two years and never knew that there was such a secret door? Even if you don't know, you should have heard of it, there are often some strange rumors among the students, and it stands to reason that no one can find out about such a mysterious small secret door that is only half a person high.
"Are you sure it's here?" Zhang Weiyong was a little scared: "I never knew there was a door here, maybe it's just a place to sweep the floor and put a broom, you can open it and take a look." β
As soon as the words fell, Zheng Gang had already opened the secret door, it was obvious that this door had been opened before, and Zheng Gang opened it with a light pull, and it was not locked.
Zhang Weiyong stretched his neck and looked inside, and suddenly a cold wind blew out from inside, and the cold Zhang Weiyong shivered, this turned out to be a secret door! Zhang Weiyong saw the darkness that led to the ground, which seemed to lead to hellish cold.
"Do you want to go in?" Zhang Weiyong hesitated, "You, aren't you afraid?" β
"It's not a question of being afraid or not." Zheng Gang had already bent down and stepped into the secret door, "But I have to go in." β
"Ugh." Zhang Weiyong sighed, it seemed that he had reached this point, and he had to keep up.
As soon as he stepped into this secret door, Zhang Weiyong felt a damp and stuffy breath, it seemed that it was not ventilated all year round, and the smell was very unpleasant, and it was really a strange thing for the school to ask why such an underground passage would be built, as if in his memory, no one should have opened this door, because it was always locked.
Zhang Weiyong followed Zheng Gang step by step towards the inside, he glanced back at the faint light on the fan, and felt like a lonely soul stepping into the underworld.
The steps under your feet were slippery and seemed to be covered with moss, making it difficult to walk. Zhang Weiyong cautiously stepped forward, almost stepping on Zheng Gang's footsteps and walking down, Zheng Gang was flashlight in front, this kind of small tunnel was really a difficult action for his big man.
Finally, the two of them walked the last step, and the underground space was far more spacious than they thought, and it was impossible to see how big it was because of the darkness, and they could only know that Zheng Gang could already stand upright.
"It's finally here, it's a little slow." Hearing this sweet sound in such a humid environment undoubtedly gives goosebumps to the plate, but Zhang Weiyong is too familiar with this voice, after all, the owner of this voice is not an ordinary person.
"What the hell is this?" Zhang Weiyong frowned and asked with difficulty: "How can there be such a place in our school?" How did I never know? Besides, is there anything you can't talk about above? Do you have to be underground? β
"Every school has its own secrets, you just don't know it." Zhong Yan's voice was getting closer and closer, as if she was getting closer to him, but he didn't hear any footsteps. "Turn on the lights!"
Immediately, the lights came on in this place that resembled an underground bomb shelter! I didn't expect there to be electricity running here! This was greatly beyond Zhang Weiyong's imagination, and he could barely open his eyes when he lit up in the dark for a moment, and could only vaguely see Zhong Yan in front of him smiling at Zheng Gang, who was speechless.
"Don't think too much about it." She seemed completely unaffected by the light, "I don't know what this place is, anyway, I know no one is coming." As for how I found it, I have to thank the dead Zhao Ming, after all, he is the first prize in the National Physics Competition. β
"What did he do?" Zhang Weiyong tried hard to force himself to open his eyes, and his eyes filled his eyes in an instant, swollen and astringent, very uncomfortable.
"He checked the circuits of the whole school when he changed the circuit of the monitoring route on the fifth floor," Zhong Yan patiently explained, it seemed that she was not worried about the problem of time at all, "You know this matter, when he was searching, he found that there was a strange line that did not belong to any part of the school at all, and it was broken until it reached the laboratory building, and after several inspections, he finally found that this line actually led to the underground." β
"So, we found this place." Zhong Yan looked around, "I think this is probably the old campus used for storage, and then it was renovated directly on the old campus, fortunately, there is still a door left, you can enter this underground world, this is one of the few places in the school that does not have a camera, and the power supply here has not been cut off, it is simply a paradise for crime." β
"Okay, no need to explain." Zheng Gang, who had been silent on the side for a long time, finally became impatient, and was a little irritable, "What's the matter?" β
Zhong Yan looked at Zheng Gang meaningfully, and laughed, "Bring her out!" β
Zhang Weiyong had already adapted to the dim lighting of this underground at this time, and he noticed that in fact, this underground is actually very large, with many compartments, which may have been used as a warehouse back then.
The door of one of the cubicles opened, and a woman was pushed out, she was a little crying, and when she saw Zheng Gang, she whimpered loudly for a moment, as if she had endless sadness.
Zheng Gang was also stunned, he never expected to meet her here, but it was still in this form. He could barely control the trembling of his hands, he had been looking for her for so many years, and he would finally meet here.
"Wei Yi." He shouted in a hoarse voice, as if he were crying.
