Chapter 18: The Room Behind the Secret Passage
We came to the hall on the first floor of the No. 1 teaching building, and many students who were complaining because they couldn't get out of the school were sitting on the steps, probably because they saw the student council president, and many of them automatically avoided us.
"Well, this is it."
The president walked over to what was supposed to be a floor-to-ceiling mirror and pointed to the white tiles on the wallβI reached out and knocked on it, and the four tiles were indeed empty behind them.
"Whoa? It's really interesting, in that case, the men will go first, and the women will go first, and the Lord, Brother Wu Ma, and Luo Ling will be responsible for dispersing the crowd of onlookers and staying here. β
Mitch immediately came up with a plan.
"Huh? Why!? How nice it is to have girls in front! β
Su Haotian immediately protested, and we can probably guess what he wants to do. Although the girls' uniforms in our school cannot be skirts, our school allows casual clothes, at least all the girls here wear casual clothes, as long as the angle is slightly subtle...... Ahem......
The minister and I took off the wall tiles, and the secret passage after that was a little narrow, so we had to kneel or crawl forward if we wanted to move forward.
"Well, then, I'll do it first."
I looked at the dark, unknown opening, and said.
"In that case, take this."
Mickey said, tossing a mini flashlight. I tried to open it and test it, and it looked like there was still plenty of power.
"I don't know why you always carry this kind of survival item with you...... Anyway, if this is just a secret passage that doesn't lead anywhere, how are we going to get back......
"Don't think about it that much! Speculation is the beauty of exploration! β
Mitch patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile.
No...... I don't see anything wonderful about this kind of thing......
"So...... I went in......"
"Don't say such dirty things."
The president said as he kicked me.
I was followed by Su Haotian, then Mickey, Bai Yue, and the minister
"Hmm...... It looks like someone has been here recently, and the cobwebs in front of it have basically been removed......"
I used my flashlight to shine on the road ahead.
"Not only that, but it's well ventilated......
The minister said at the very end.
"It's just that the temperature is a little bit lower."
Bai Yue frowned and tightened her body.
I exhaled and could see the white mist.
"But there will be cobwebs here, which means that these little ones can catch something here......"
Bai Yue said, flicking the dead spider in front of him aside with his hand.
That's right...... What do they eat......
No, if nothing else, it's strange that they can survive at such a low temperature...... Eighty percent of this is because the temperature here has dropped suddenly in the recent period. Is there a front that leads to an air-conditioned room or something?
I can't really think of that. But it looks like it's been a few years since this secret tunnel was dug up. At least......
"Ah...... It seems to lead to some kind of room in front of you......"
I stared straight ahead.
And the temperature is estimated to be below zero.
"Ahh "Ahh
Both girls sneezed back-to-back.
A whining sound similar to that of an electric fan spinning began to appear in my ears.
I kept going. Holding an umbrella and a flashlight along the way, and taking care of me who didn't knock into the little black, I just had an inexplicable feeling of relief.
"Alright."
I reached the open floor and stood up, moving my aching legs. Everyone else has come out of the tunnel.
"Well, there's a switch right above the dark passage, it's the switch of the light."
Su Haotian, who found a switch from the light range of the flashlight, pressed it without hesitation.
"Ziz-Zeng!"
It is indeed the switch of the light.
But this placeβ
I took a look at the space.
It's wide, and the ventilation fan and the air conditioner above are whining.
Where is it?
"I'll go, what a secret baseβ"
A secret base built in a school? it!
There are two small rooms with beds, bathrooms, and there is a large room with a secret passage. It's just that when we searched this 'secret base', we found several coffins under the bed in the bedroom next to the bathroom......
"There's obviously something in there...... All four of these are ......"
Mitch said as he pulled the coffin back and forth with his hand.
Of course, we don't open it to look at it, and even if we do, we don't necessarily see anything. Even the so-called corpse spots and zombies will vary depending on the circumstances of death. What's more, the temperature here is far from normal.
Is that why it's so cold here? Do you want to suppress the decay of corpses?
Four people...... Roughly the same as my guess.
Of the remaining two curses of the four curses, the mountain demon will kill one, and the body he is using will become the sixth......
However, Mickey nodded with an expression that had already seen through everything.
"Yes, that's right, although it's a bit far-fetched, it can basically be explained......
I don't know exactly what conclusions he came up to...... But if it was Mickey, his reasoning should be interlocking, and he didn't know about the mountain demon. At the very least, if we all get out alive and the police find the bodies and start working on the case, it won't be classified as an unsolved case.
"Hakutsuki, huh...... You say you're a Chinese medicine doctor, go over and open it and take a look......"
Su Haotian said this brainlessly.
"My job is to treat living people, not to perform autopsies. (β°_β―)#β
Bai Yue said, demonstratively shaking a tube of acupuncture needles that he carried with him.
"In fact, I can turn you into their kind, easily, leaving only an unrecognizable needle's eye."
It's horrible to say it in a serious way!
"No, the little one is wrong, the big wet spares ......"
He's apologizing seriously, but I don't know what his reason for apologizing is......
After that, we couldn't find anything, and we all returned to the teaching building through the secret passage.
"Think about the challenge letter ver.2, he said that the withered yellow flowers hide the fragments of broken floor-to-ceiling mirrors. Now that the school gate is sealed, how can we know that the flowers outside are not grateful, the floor mirrors are not broken, and the fragments are not inside. β
The chairman was leaning against the wall, holding the challenge book in his hand, and there was a hint of determination on his beautiful face.
"Now the only way to catch that guy's fox tail is for us to look at the floor mirror. If he did what he said on this piece of paper, he would collect all six heads to summon the dragon...... As if you didn't hear it...... You've found four of them behind the tunnels...... Two more will serve his purpose. β
After ignoring as much as possible the noun in the president's words, I said:
"We can't see the flowers outside the school, and the other party acts according to the four curses, which means that what we can do is to protect it, or take care of the floor-to-ceiling mirror...... That's what you mean, President, we take turns looking at the floor-to-ceiling mirrors, and it's best to be in a group of men and women, just four men and four women here. β
In normal conversation, I can't think of Wuma as a girl......
"That's right, it's 1:50 p.m., and by evening, it's about four hours......
The president nodded.
"I'm not familiar with the strength of your Occult Research Department. How to distribute the people, you have decided. β
The president decisively handed over the distribution to us.
"In that case......"
The minister immediately stepped forward and spoke.
"Shi Lu and Su Haotian, Mickey and me, Wu Ma and Bai Yue, Su Chen and Luo Ling, how about this?"
The minister smiled slightly.
β¦β¦ I have to say that this distribution is in place.
If it was the super s-belly black president, even Su Haotian would not dare to be too arrogant. I basically can't find any flaws in the combination of Mickey and the minister, Wu Ma, who knows a variety of martial arts, and Bai Yue, who can hypnotize and Chinese medicine, there is no big problem with these two girls. And the only ordinary girl in the entire team with zero combat effectiveness, Paper Luoling, was pushed to me. If you think about how I was in power yesterday morning, the minister must have heard rumors about me running away from the gangsters, so it seems that there is no problem.
Although Su Haotian should be a scumbag of war, since the chairman is the daughter of a gangster, he should also know some self-defense skills. Well, perfect distribution!
"Well, this distribution is very good - at the same time, Su Haotian has no right to refute."
Mitch said, pushing his glasses.
"Nani!? I haven't said anything yet!! β
"We all know what you're going to say, because your mind is too easy to guess."
"What!? I would have such a flaw!! (βoβ)β
I looked at the two arguing guys over there and smiled.
"In that case, the president's group is the first round, the Wuma Baiyue group is the second round, the minister Mickey group is the third round, and Luo Ling and I are the last round, how about it?"
I followed up with the chief's personnel assignment and carried out a simple sequential division of duty.
"Xiao Su Chen! You're too much! Why did you only omit my name!! β
"You should understand."
"Nope! I don't understand it at all!! β
In the midst of Su Haotian's complaints, we walked to the front of the sports warehouse.
The floor-to-ceiling mirror rests safely in the corner.
After buying lunch for the president of the first round and Su Haotian, the rest of our group also began to monitor around the school.
While reminiscing about the origin of the 'Curse of the Floor Mirror' that the students would find, I turned my head and glanced at the sports warehouse.
I put myself at the end because it was dusk when Lorling and I were looking after the floor-to-ceiling mirrors.
When the prisoner moves.
And only me and the president know what it takes to stop the mountain demons.
That is, kill the other person without touching each other's land.
The other party has the ability to conjure up some hills out of thin air, and no matter where he hides, there will be danger, so there is no such thing as me harming Luo Ling.
If you want to attach a Luo spirit body over there...... I'm not going to let that happen.
Since I used to be called the most vicious murderer, it means that my hands are not clean at all. In that case, even if I resist a little in my heart, I should be able to do this kind of thing by blowing the other person's head with an iron umbrella.
Thinking, I waited patiently.
