Chapter 22: The Escaped Corpse (1)
The streets of the countryside are never as brightly lit as in the cities, especially the schools between several villages, where the lights shine from the top of the fence at night, but not even a few meters away. The darkness is like a giant python entrenched between heaven and earth, and no matter how strong the light is, it will appear weak and powerless in the boundless darkness.
Lin Kang's school has a total of two school gates, and the parking place is closer to the south gate, but the direction of the principal and Lin Kang is north, so the principal chose to ride directly to the north gate when he rode the electric donkey to the middle of the campus to connect the north and south school gates. The faint lights of the donkey could only illuminate the distance of five or six paces ahead, and from a distance, it looked like a faint glowing dot was moving at an extremely slow pace.
Lin Kang sat in the back seat, leaning back slightly, and propped his hands back on the tail of the electric donkey. When the electric donkey drove to the middle of the north and south gates, a room with lights on the left attracted Lin Kang's attention. Although it was dark all around, it was completely impossible to tell which house it was, but from where he was, Lin Kang could probably feel that this row of houses was the fourth row within the north gate, that is to say, this row was the office in the school, and the one with the lights on was the innermost one, that is, the room that caught Lin Kang's attention was the math teacher's office.
"Headmaster, why haven't any teachers left?" In fact, it doesn't matter whether this question is asked or not, Lin Kang's main purpose is to break the embarrassment of silence.
"Huh?" Driving on such a dark road, all the attention of the principal was focused on the little road surface in front of him that could barely be seen clearly, and when he heard Lin Kang say this, the principal cautiously glanced up, and when he saw the math teacher's office, he seemed to pause, then lowered his head and continued to concentrate on staring at the road surface, and replied casually, "You usually leave early, so I don't know, now you know how hard the teachers are, and they are still in school so late, so you have to study hard." ”
"Hmm." Lin Kang responded absentmindedly, but he always felt that something was wrong in his heart, and when he was about to follow a row of houses with wrong shoulders, Lin Kang glanced at the office again, and a vague figure stood at the door of the office and was looking this way. Even though he couldn't see the other party's face at all, Lin Kang could feel that the eyes pierced the darkness with a strange smile and met his vision, and he couldn't help but shiver, and a burst of urine rushed to his lower abdomen. Lin Kang wanted to escape this feeling, but found that neither his neck nor his head could move, but fortunately, he couldn't see the office anymore in the next second. When that person's figure was blocked by the wall that had been moved, Lin Kang's body suddenly relaxed, thinking about the sharp eyes that he couldn't see clearly but could feel, Lin Kang still had palpitations.
"Squeak......" When the electric donkey drove out of the campus, there was a long piercing brake sound in the dark night, the body tilted to the left, Lin Kang and the principal stretched out their left feet at the same time to support the ground, and then the principal withdrew his right leg from the body, touched the pocket of his coat and said, "You wait first, I'll lock the school gate." ”
"Okay." Lin Kang agreed, but suddenly found something wrong, "Hey principal, isn't there still a teacher in the school?" How did he get out if you locked the door? ”
As if he hadn't heard it, the principal turned his head to Lin Kang the moment he closed the two big iron doors and said, "Lin Kang, come and help me find the lock, I don't know where the lock of the gate has fallen." ”
A burst of heartfelt coolness surrounded Lin Kang, he clearly remembered that the lock of the school gate was always locked directly on one of the doors after the teacher on duty opened the door, which was also so that other teachers did not need to go to the office to get the lock again when the door was locked, so it was impossible for the lock to fall anywhere, and the only explanation was that Lin Kang did not want to believe the explanation at all.
The principal bent down and looked on the ground for a while, but when he straightened up, he found Lin Kang standing next to the electric donkey in a daze, so he said, "Lin Kang, come here, if you can't lock the door, we won't be able to leave." ”
There was no other way at the moment, Lin Kang dragged his immobile legs to the place where the gate was fixed when it was open, but he didn't have the heart to find a lock at all, all his energy was injected into the vigilance of the surroundings, especially this headmaster who couldn't say anything strange. I saw the figure of the principal walking back and forth not far away, the more vigilant people are, the easier it is to ignore some of the most ordinary things, for example, after a long time, Lin Kang noticed that although the figure of the principal did not stop moving, he did not hear the footsteps that should have been. Lin Kang was a little overwhelmed by the sudden discovery, and he took a small step back, and his injured foot inadvertently touched something heavy. Lin Kang leaned down with difficulty, reached out and picked it up, it turned out to be the lock of the gate, and most importantly, the lock was still locked!
"Strange ......" Lin Kang couldn't figure it out, and whispered to himself.
"Why don't you tell me when you find it?!" The principal's voice suddenly sounded in Lin Kang's ears and startled him, I don't know if it was because it was close or because the surroundings were too quiet, Lin Kang felt that the principal's voice was very loud, so loud that he involuntarily tilted his head in the opposite direction of the sound source.
"I ...... I just found it too......" Lin Kang's voice was mixed with a tremor that he tried to suppress.
"Are you cold?" The principal took the lock from Lin Kang's hand, took out a key from his pocket, "Let's click", the lock was opened, and the principal skillfully fastened the lock to the latch and walked towards the electric donkey. Lin Kang didn't answer, and silently followed the principal to sit in the back seat of the electric donkey.
The principal started the electric donkey and rushed out without saying a word, Lin Kang shook his body and almost fell off the car without psychological preparation, but fortunately he grabbed the object rack behind him in time to support his body. Lin Kang suddenly felt that the principal sitting in front of him was very unfamiliar, the feeling of caution in the campus just now was completely gone, the speed of the electric donkey was several times faster than when he was in the school, and even the air that was almost still turned into a cold wind in the high-speed movement of the electric donkey, which whistled wildly from Lin Kang's side face and cut straight to his ear, a little painful.
"Headmaster, you haven't answered me yet...... "Lin Kang felt the need to reconfirm the identity of the person sitting in front of him.
"What's the problem? Oh, you're saying I'm going to lock the door when there's still someone in the school? The principal's voice changed back to the way it was at school, "It's okay, they're going back to the south gate, and I left them the key to the south gate." ”
They? If I'm not mistaken, only one of the teachers in the math office went through the south gate......
That's right, it's not them, it's her, Tang Yingying, Teacher Tang......
