Humanoid Machines [Unlimited] Section 44
But the vague uneasy premonition in their hearts was enough for them to think of the worst follow-up.
Xiaoyun's eyelashes fluttered uneasily, she took a deep breath, and continued: "The file records a tragic incident ten years ago, the teaching building accidentally caught fire, and a new student fell asleep in the classroom, was stunned by the smoke, and failed to escape in time...... Of course, this is only the reason for the final characterization on the file. I also learned some information later, when the front and back doors were locked, and when the body was found, she was desperately picking at the door frame with her nails, so it is correct to say that she should have been burned alive. β
This kind of miserable death, I want to know how big the resentment will be.
And you can't think about it, if she's deliberately locked in the classroom, and it ends up with an accidental fire.
Xiaoyun, who told about this, looked a little gloomy, with a depressed mood that was not easy to detect, "On the last page, there is a photo of a new student. β
"You should have guessed it, yes...... Photo of Deng Shushu. β
Xiaoyun said as she opened the photo album on her phone and gently swiped to open it.
It was a hastily taken photo, the camera was a little blurry, but you could still see a bareheaded photo on the yellowed file. The girl has a well-behaved short haircut, wears a white shirt, and shows a careful and restrained smile to the camera, looking like an ordinary schoolgirl.
But she, or Deng Shushu, did die ten years ago.
Xiaoyun turned off the screen of her mobile phone, put it away, and said, "Anyway...... All pay attention to a little bit. β
During this time, they have been in the company of ghosts.
An unspeakable emotion fermented in the hearts of everyone, mostly awkward and fearful, and a little unbelievable compassion, but soon, this inner complex emotion was first dispersed by the outside world.
First, Fang Siwen frowned and said, "Have you smelled a burnt smell?" β
Yuan Xuxue's sensory system was more sensitive than theirs, so he smelled the smoky smell earlier, spreading little by little, but he really didn't scan any open flame light source, as if this burning smell came from another space.
The associative nature of the smell is rich, especially when it is getting stronger and stronger, Xu Peng said with a white face: "There won't be a fire here, right?" Wasn't Deng Shushu burned to death by fire, so she also used fire to leave us here ......" to bury her.
It's a reasonable guess, and while it hasn't been seen yet, it's enough to be anxious.
And I don't know if it's an illusion brought about by psychological suggestion, it seems that the temperature around me has risen by a few degrees, and it is so hot that people's cheeks are sweaty.
Someone glanced at the time in a panic and muttered, "There are still more than thirty minutes to go......"
For more than 30 minutes, I had to be in the same room with ghosts, which was too difficult to get through.
Yuan Yuxue is extremely accurate in controlling the passage of time, so even if he doesn't look at the clock, he can clearly calculate the time they want to spend. To be exact, it's 33 minutes and 56 secondsβ
"Xu Peng, Ning Hong." Yuan Yuxue suddenly said, "Have you finished cleaning the second layer?" β
According to Xiaoyun, the third floor she is responsible for has already been cleared.
The two were stunned for a moment, it was really Deng Shushu's matter that had a big impact on them, and they almost forgot that the main task at present was actually to clean the classroom. Xu Peng said honestly: "The classroom has been cleaned, and the bathroom has not been ...... yet."
He paused, frowned and added, "There seems to be something in there, something is not quite right, Ning Hong and I ran away." β
Although they are not players, NPCs possess a keen sense of smell that prompts them to subconsciously avoid danger.
Yuan Xuxue's thinking pattern determined that he would not deviate in front of the task, and immediately said, "I'll clean up." β
"If you see Yuan Dong and Ji Zhenxing, remember to remind them to be careful of the red-clothed teacher and Deng Shushu. At twelve o'clock, leave the Xudu Building in time. β
Fang Siwen saw that Yuan Xuxue meant to clean up alone, so he hurriedly followed him, "Take me, I'm also an experienced person." β
Yuan Yuxue: "......"
He hesitated, but still didn't tell Fang Siwen what he had experienced in the last bathroom.
Xiaoyun's leg was injured, and she was also frightened and weak at this time, her face was pale, but she pursed her lips when she heard Yuan Yuxue's words.
"Let's go."
This time, they were embarrassed to change Xu Peng.
Ning Hong opened his mouth and said: "Originally, it was also our task, so let's go together, and it is safer if there are more people." β
After such a series of clapping, the five of them went to the bathroom on the second floor together, which was very exciting-
But perhaps because of the large number of people, they didn't encounter any strange incidents.
After coming to the door of the bathroom, I saw someone inside.
A male student in a school uniform sat on his knees with his back to them, half-collapsed. The face was buried in the lower sink on the other side, and the posture looked strange.
This scene looked weird, and the students felt a little chill in their backs, for fear that the person in front of them would turn over and face them.
That is, Yuan Yuxue didn't notice the weird atmosphere at all, so she stepped forward to help the person up, and turned her face by the way.
Half of the male student's face was buried in the sink, and his chin was still wet and dripping, but he was lucky, the water level of the sink was low, and it didn't reach his nostrils and drowned, and at most his face looked much uglier. The others only noticed that this was how Ji Zhenxing, who came with them, appeared in the bathroom on the second floor.
Yuan Yuxue's fingertips pressed against Ji Zhenxing's chest, and he was given a simple awakening first aid through bioelectric conduction.
Just as Fang Siwen stepped forward and patted him on the face.
"Ji Zhenxing! Hey, Ji Zhenxing! β
In this way, it seems that slapping his face is really effective, Ji Zhenxing choked two mouthfuls of water from his mouth, kept coughing, opened his eyes in a daze, and saw that there seemed to be a lot of people looking at him, stunned for a moment, and moved his gaze mechanically.
When I saw Yuan Yuxue, I was subconsciously a little relieved, and I wanted to fish for the appearance of Yuan Yuxue's cuffs.
Then his gaze continued to move to Xiaoyun - and in an instant his face changed, and he jumped back on his legs, leaning pitifully to the side.
Although he didn't speak, his body language was too rich, and his face was full of "Don't come here"!
Xiaoyun: "......"
The others could also see what was going on, and Fang Siwen reminded him, "Did you see a 'Xiaoyun' covered in blood?" That's really not her, pretending to be a ghost, don't be afraid. β
Ji Zhenxing looked like he was about to burst into tears-
Ghostly! He's even more scared when he says that!
However, (really) familiar classmates are all around, Ji Zhenxing's mentality collapsed for a while and finally eased up, trembling with tears in his eyes, and a little stumbling to explain what he had just experienced, although the narrative is not very coherent, but for a person who has just been frightened, it is not so much to ask. It's just that Yuan Yuxue half-squatted beside him and listened, and suddenly said: "In other words, until 'Xiaoyun' was exposed, you and Yuan Dong didn't realize that she was the 'red-clothed teacher'?" β
Ji Zhenxing said: "Let's just say that......"
"And how did you escape?" Yuan Yuxue continued to ask.
According to the ferocity of the teacher in red, the chances of surviving an unsuspecting ordinary person facing her are too low.
When he asked like this, Ji Zhenxing was also stunned.
He looked a little confused: "IβI don't remember. β
"I was very scared at the time, and as far as Yuan Dong and I were the two of us, we didn't have the ability to fight back. I just fainted...... I'll see you when I wake up again. β
The credibility of this argument is too low.
And it just so happens that Yuan Dong is gone, and no one can prove the authenticity of Ji Zhenxing's words.
After all, there have been ghosts pretending to be people, just looking at Deng Shushu, when she gets along with the students, no one thinks she looks like a ghost. For a while, the freshmen became a little vigilant, and Xu Peng even quietly took a step back and looked at him suspiciously.
Ji Zhenxing also knew that his words were too, and he couldn't stand up, so he said to himself: "I really can't remember, if only Yuan Dong was here, he must know that what I said is true......"
Before the words fell, there was a sound of the door being opened from the men's bathroom, Yuan Dong staggered out of it, staggering and rubbing his temples, but as soon as he came out, he saw so many acquaintances, and he was stunned for a while, and said weakly: "You ......"
Everyone: "......"
Ji Zhenxing: "......"
Fang Siwen couldn't help but complain: "Come on, this can't be your ghost magic, right?" β
Ji Zhenxing collapsed: "No! Not really! How do I know that Yuan Dong will come out after saying that-"
Fortunately, Yuan Yuxue was still relatively serious, he observed Yuan Dong and asked him about the situation with a normal expression.
Yuan Dong Danzi is a little bigger than Ji Zhenxing...... That is to say, he fainted a little later than Ji Zhenxing. The expression is also quite calm.
But Yuan Dong didn't know why, he couldn't remember what happened at that time, as if someone had deliberately blurred this memory, leaving only the intense fear of the red-clothed teacher at that time, and a face with a vague memory.
"Deng Shushu."
Yuan Dong muttered suddenly.
In fact, he was not impressed by this girl, Deng Shushu is usually low-key and introverted, and he is barely familiar with her face at most because he came to volunteer work together. Even Yuan Dong himself was surprised, it turned out that he remembered the girl's name.
Reading out this name, Yuan Dong's next words were much smoother, "In addition to that 'Xiaoyun', I seem to have seen Deng Shushu, she was standing next to her, I don't know if she escaped." β
"What are you running away," Xu Peng's face was ugly, "She and the red-clothed teacher are together, by the way, I forgot to tell you." β
"Deng Shushu is a ghost, not a human, she died in the fire of the Xudu Building ten years ago."
Ji Zhenxing estimated that he couldn't stand the impact, he was not very bold, rolled his eyes, and fainted quietly.
Fang Siwen was speechless, slapped him in the face and pinched the middle of the person, and woke the person up.
Yuan Yuxue was aware. But he didn't say anything about it, just stepped forward to turn on the faucet, took a bucket of water, and said very calmly: "The smell of smoke is getting stronger and stronger." β
Everyone has been in this kind of smoky smell for too long, and they have adapted a lot, so naturally they don't notice that the smoke smell is actually getting stronger and stronger, and it can even be said that it is a little choking.
Even the abundant and moist water vapor in the washroom cannot stop the gradually rising heat.
Chapter 51: Ghost School Survival Guide
Yuan Dong said, The first floor they are responsible for has been cleaned, so that only the bathroom on the second floor has not been cleaned for tonight's volunteer labor.
Several people divided into two teams, and quickly dragged the toilets on both sides, and wiped the door panel very carefully, and did not encounter anything strange on the way, and it was even cleaner than other places after cleaning, and it was absolutely enough to check the teacher.
Although the resolution was quick, they noticed the increasingly pronounced smell of smoke trying to burrow into their noses.
Some people even couldn't help but cough softly, it was useless to cover it with their hands, and they couldn't stop the trend for a while, and they were a little embarrassed, for fear of attracting some ghosts that followed the sound.
At this moment, the water droplets burst to the ground, making a crisp and roaring sound of water.
Yuan Yuxue carried a bucket of water and drenched herself all over her body, from the tips of her hair to her ankles, she was stained with water, and her clothes were all wet.
Drops of clear water dripped from the ends of his hair, and the soft black hair seemed to look even darker when wet, and it was obediently attached to his snow-white neck, and the color contrast looked very strong at first glance.
His eyelashes were also stained with crystal droplets, which fell down with a slight tremble, and his slightly curled cuffs were all wet, and wet droplets hung from his wrists.
Combined with his pale complexion, he inexplicably sets off a unique temperament that is weak and unscrupulous.
At least when the others looked at Yuan Yuxue, they were slightly stunned - of course it wasn't because of his actions at this time.
After Yuan Yuxue finished drenching the water, he handed the bucket to Fang Siwen next to him, and motioned for them to follow and wet themselves.
This will make the others remember, if it is really on fire, it is better to run out if you get wet. Immediately, he put cold water on the side, and by the way, he wet the rag and tried to cover his mouth and nose...... Although it's dirty, but at this time of life and death, I don't care about this.
According to Yuan Yuxue's physique, he didn't actually have to get himself wet, but in order to perform the task of not revealing his identity as an outsider, he completely regarded himself as a human and carried out first aid measures after the fire.
"Hiss, hiss!" Ji Zhenxing was originally a weak appearance, and after drenching in water, he leaned against the door, and suddenly shouted, and jumped away from the place with his eyes wide open. There was no need for others to ask him, he explained first: "Here, it's so hot, it's like there's a fire burning-" After Ji Zhenxing finished speaking, he was also stunned.
