Chapter 177: The Way of Life
Ren Baijie is a member of the army of graduate students. After a lazy sleep in the dormitory, he swiped Weibo for a while, and when he found that he was the only one left in the dormitory, he rushed to the study room with a bag of books on his back.
At this point in time, the well-located library and self-study room were already overcrowded, and Ren Baijie walked for more than ten minutes before finding a place in the corner of the teaching building.
The classroom, which seats thirty people, was not crowded, and there were only a dozen or so people sitting scattered at the moment. The north-facing windows make this classroom less sunny, but the air conditioning and fluorescent lights are not a small impact.
Ren Baijie quickly devoted himself to learning.
Time passes in the blink of an eye.
Ren Baijie raised his head groggily, and let out a sigh, only to find that the temperature in the classroom was much lower.
He turned his head to look at the air conditioner in the corner.
The air conditioner was on, and the blades swayed up and down, but the hot air blowing out was not felt.
Closed doors and windows don't look like they leak air.
Outside the window, the small trees shook violently, and the branches and the wind blew on the windowpane together, making strange noises.
Ren Baijie looked at the other classmates, but he didn't see anything unusual, and he could only attribute this sudden cold to himself.
He rubbed his hands, took a sip from his cup, and swallowed the icy boiled water with difficulty.
After shuddering, Ren Baijie got up with the water glass, went to the door lightly, opened the door and went out.
It's colder outside.
The cold air in the corridor is like a needle, burrowing into the marrow of people's bones.
Ren Baijie didn't care about his light steps, and rushed to the boiling water room with small steps.
There was no one in the boiling water room, and the water heater light was on, but it didn't emit a trace of heat like usual.
Ren Baijie didn't care, and according to his usual habits, he bent down and turned on the faucet.
The icy water flowed out, and before it reached the bottom of the cup, it froze into a popsicle.
Ren Baijie couldn't help but be stunned, his fingers moved, and he twisted the faucet switch, but he didn't twist it.
He picked up the cup in disbelief, straightened up, and stared at the popsicle for a long time, forgetting even his coldness.
Ren Baijie took two steps in disbelief and turned on another water heater, only to see another popsicle.
Bite.
The previous popsicle broke off of its own accord and landed on the tray where the water heater was receiving water.
Bite.
Another popsicle also fell.
Ren Baijie looked at the two popsicles, and the white breath he exhaled came out in front of his eyes.
He shivered, didn't dare to stay in the boiling water room, and hurried to the classroom.
Halfway through, he stopped, took two steps back, and looked at the classroom next to him.
The study hall was empty, only the books were left on the desks, and not a single student was missing.
Ren Baijie walked further and saw the same scene in the next classroom.
His heart fluttered, and he hurried back to the study room he had found earlier.
He pushed the door open, the cold wind scraping against his cheek.
The empty classroom made Ren Baijie even more chilled.
The cup in his hand fell to the ground.
The sound of landing seemed to echo throughout the school building, stirring up a sound that beat people's hearts, and it took a long time to silence.
Ren Baijie trembled, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and found the name of his roommate.
The call was dialed out, but there was only a busy signal, and it was not connected until it hung up automatically.
Ren Baijie wanted to call other people's mobile phones again, but his fingers were already a little uncontrollable, and he couldn't press the buttons properly at all.
He was so cold that his body stiffened, and it became difficult for him to walk.
Anxiety doesn't make him warm and sweaty.
After moving two steps in a panic, Ren Baijie felt something and slowly raised his head.
The hallway lights were on in broad daylight.
The sunlight outside the window is like a set, but the light in front of you is real.
Syllable!
The light at the end of the front went out, and the corridor was engulfed in darkness.
Ren Baijie's heart also skipped.
Syllable!
This time the voice came from behind him.
When Ren Baijie turned around, he found that the light behind him had also gone out.
His heels were against the darkness.
Ren Baijie hurriedly moved a few steps.
Syllable!
Syllable!
Syllable!
Several more lights went out.
In an instant, only the light above Ren Baijie's head was still on.
Ren Baijie rolled his eyes and stared at the small lamp.
I don't know how long it took, but the light flickered twice.
"Ahh Ren Baijie subconsciously screamed.
The screams were loud and brought some life to the dead corridor.
That light came back on, and not only that, but there were lights on the front and back.
Ren Baijie gasped, as if he had escaped death, with a sense of happiness and a sense of absurdity.
He is not stupid, he has come back to his senses at this time, and he remembered the Weibo he had swiped before.
He still remembers the content of that story.
Syllable!
And the lights went out again.
"Ahh Ren Baijie immediately shouted.
The lights are back on.
Ren Baijie cautiously took two steps forward, stood on the edge of the darkness, and clapped his palms.
The darkness disappears and is replaced by light.
Ren Baijie felt incredible.
He remembered the content of the hot search again, and swallowed in horror.
Is it no longer Li Yun?
This thought flashed through Ren Baijie's mind.
Whether it is "Li Yun" or "Ren Baijie", it is not a common name. The name "Ren Baijie" may be less than "Li Yun".
As soon as he thought of this, Ren Baijie's fear deepened a little.
The story of the voice-activated light is......
Syllable!
"Ahh Ren Baijie reflexively screamed and reawakened the extinguished lamp.
The lights in the school hallways are definitely not voice-activated lights. The school hallway shouldn't be left without people at this time.
He's definitely a ghost......
No, it's not a ghost! There's a ghost eyeing him!
For the first time in his life, Ren felt so frightened.
He doesn't want to die yet, he can only take one step at a time.
It was as if he was playing a live game, clapping, stomping, shouting, and lighting the voice-activated lights on his way.
Walking all the way to the gate of the teaching building, his stiff body was already difficult to move, and his voice was difficult to make a sound.
His head, face, and limbs were unconscious, and the cold had covered his skin with frost.
But Ren Baijie had already seen the sunshine outside the gate.
I don't know if the sunshine is real or not.
His consciousness was a little dazed, and he struggled to think about the boy who had disappeared and been recovered.
That Li Yun......
Is it because the kid named Li Yun successfully escaped, so that weird Weibo changed targets?
If an eight-year-old could escape...... Maybe he thought too complicated, and those "Li Yun" before him also thought too complicated. Adults can't escape the catastrophe, but simple children are easy to crack.
Ren Baijie thought like this for a while, and his body moved to the edge of the gate.
He moved a little further, feeling the oncoming sun.
The warm feeling made the frost on his skin melt.
Ren Baijie sighed, raised his legs, and took a step forward.
The foot did not fall on the steps, and the body seemed to step on the air, and rolled down directly, falling heavily on the ground.
Ren Baijie's face hurt, and he felt a scorching wave of air.
He scrambled to his feet from the ground in horror and found himself clutching the bed frame of his dorm room with one hand, surrounded by clusters of flames.
The flames slammed into him, and he let out a scream, ducking to the side, and slamming his body into the water cooler.
The water in the bucket is rocking back and forth.
Ren Baijie hurriedly wanted to remove the bucket, and saw the blurred reflection in the water.
He didn't see what the reflection was at all, but there was an inexplicable chill that arose.
He forgot about the burning pain in his body and slowly turned his head.
The fluorescent lamps in the dormitory fell at some point, one end swaying in the air, carrying sparks, stirring the flames on the ground, and the other end barely hooked the wires.
Ren Baijie saw hair on the wire.
The long hair, wrapped around the wires, like a snake, loosened in Ren Baijie's eyes and shrank back into the ceiling.
The fluorescent light fell to the ground, causing a flame.
Ren Baijie raised his head and looked at the figure emerging from the ceiling, the whole person was stunned, allowing the flames to completely engulf him.
