Chapter 41 The weather is dry and dry
Shen Qingming froze in place, and could tell that the footsteps did not belong to anyone he knew. As the footsteps got closer and closer, Shen Qingming felt that the owner of the voice didn't even belong to a human being.
Because he could hear it clearly, there was the sound of metal rubbing against the concrete floor, and no human other than Iron Man could make such a sound.
If something is bad, turn around and run. I used to go up, but this time I'm going downstairs. Shen Qingming rushed downstairs and chuckled in his heart.
The stairs here are also thirteen steps.
There was no time to think about it, the footsteps behind him had already accelerated to catch up. A damp and rotten aura stuck to Shen Qingming's back, and he couldn't get rid of it. Although he didn't see the pursuer behind him, Shen Qingming already felt that he was close at hand. People's physical strength is limited, and God knows if this thing will be tired, and if it is caught up by the time, the consequences will be unimaginable.
In this case, it is only a gamble.
Half a minute later, the owner of the footsteps had already arrived on the same floor, and he looked suspiciously at the dark corridor, where the target he was chasing disappeared.
"It's dry, watch out for candles. He said.
He held up a blood-red candle and slowly lit it, pursuing it step by step.
"It's dry, watch out for candles. ”
With every step, he held up the red candle and shed a little wax tear. Wax tears fall on the dust, fleeting.
"It's dry, watch out for candles. ”
He pushed open a classroom door and peeked in. He walked carefully past each desk.
"Hmm..... It's a shame that there isn't one here. He shook his head and sprinkled countless pieces of copper from his shoulders.
With that, he entered the second classroom. glanced at the chalk words on the blackboard that had not been erased in time, and sighed: "How can you do this, careless." Tomorrow the children will still come to class. ”
He put the candle on the podium, raised his hand and pulled out his sleeve to replace the blackboard eraser and began to erase the blackboard. The sound of rubbing is like scratching with a fingernail, which is extremely harsh. I don't know how long he wiped it, but finally put down his hand, admired the fruits of his labor, and smiled contentedly.
"Look, wife, this group of children will be able to go to class again tomorrow. He said to the candle, "How happy you say those children must be." ”
Naturally, the candle did not speak, but just shook its head, echoing the old man's words. That's the scariest part, and there's no wind here, so how can the candles move?
He smiled at the candle and said, "You still know my mind." After that, he went to the next classroom with a candle.
The next classroom is a laboratory for storing experimental instruments. He entered here and shouted a sentence of dry things and watch out for the candle, and then smiled to himself: "You see, I am old, and my head is stiff." There are no people here, it's a place where teachers only come. ”
He was just about to turn back, but his body inadvertently hit the test tube, which fell to the ground and shattered into slag. He exclaimed and leaned over to pick up the debris. As soon as I turned around, I found a corner of the fabric peeking out of the cabinet.
"Hey, hey, hey, I found you. Thief!" he laughed and grabbed the cabinet, tearing it in half in his frenzy. Only then did I find that there was nothing else in it except for the robe used for testing.
He said with a heavy heart: "It's over, if the principal knows, he must scold me to death, and he must not let him know about this matter, absolutely not." ”
He suddenly stopped again and said coldly, "Just like when you found that student, just dispose of it secretly." Then then, just put these East XCs in the toilet, no one will find out. ”
After getting nervous, he picked up the pile of clothes and walked away.
The sound of infiltrating footsteps was far away again, and beads of sweat slid down Shen Qingming's forehead. He hid behind a locker in the lab. I witnessed the man's performance in its entirety.
If it's not appropriate to speak of that thing as a human being, that thing is more like a half-human. When he was in school, he often saw sculptures in front of the school, usually of historical figures, and occasionally in the image of one of the school's principals. What he saw just now was a golden bronze sculpture, and Xihua Academy carved the sculpture at the entrance of the school into a night watchman.
The husband just now took the red candle and searched for his traces in the corridor, which was really terrifying.
Shen Qingming was just about to squeeze out from between the cracks in the cabinet, when he suddenly heard the sound of the bronze figure sculpture running, the sound of metal and cement rubbing was too distinct, and it was impossible to forget it in this life.
The bronze man banged on the laboratory door and rushed into the laboratory, looking around with his metal carved eyes, looking for something.
Shen Qingming's nervous heartbeat missed several beats, and his mind went blank.
The bronze man walked into the laboratory, picked up the candle, and said, "Hehehe, I almost forgot to take you away." Wife, have you seen anyone? ”
The flame of the candle rose, and the wax tears dripped on the ground, but there was no speech.
Shen Qingming's nostrils were wide open, he inhaled desperately, and his face was red.
"No, I'm so careless, if someone finds out, something will happen. If you were stolen, the headmaster would definitely fire me, and he would have been unhappy with me for a long time. The bronze man said to the candle, "Let's go, let's see how I'm doing." ”
Speaking of which, he said before that he was going to the toilet? Thinking of this, Shen Qingming's evil heart rose from anger and guts, and he thought of a plan like a fate.
As soon as the bronze man picked up the candle and left the laboratory, Shen Qingming took off the fluorite necklace, slipped out of the cracks in the locker, and tiptoed behind the bronze figure sculpture. This bronze man's perception ability seems to be very ordinary, and he still has a bit of a bad memory, so he shouldn't be discovered if he hides away.
As the bronze man walked, he shouted that the sky was dry and the candle was careful, as if he had forgotten that he was chasing people. And Shen Qingming was hiding a few steps behind the bronze man at this time, and the cat was advancing tightly against the wall, and the dust played a good buffering role, covering up the spread of footsteps.
The situation is even more terrifying than before, before a ghost was chasing and killing a living person, and now a living person quietly followed the ghost. The only lighting in the entire hallway was a candle held by a bronze figure.
Under the light of candles, the toilet, which had not been found, actually appeared on one of the walls.
The bronze man walked in directly, Shen Qingming didn't dare to follow any further, and quietly went to the room closest to the toilet, waiting for the moment when the bronze statue left.
