When Xia Ming returned to the dormitory, it was almost 11 o'clock at night.

The bell rang quickly. After the night bell rings, the new students must stay in the dormitory.

As soon as he opened the door, Xia Ming saw several people sitting in front of Rand's bed. Even though the dormitory has been cleaned several times, there is still a strange smell. Shi Yu Minghong often told them some anecdotes after the night clock.

They said that the dormitory of their former school also often smelled, especially at night, and it was impossible to sleep.

Once, a student was sick and asked for a class at night and went back to the dormitory early to rest. The moon was so round and bright that you could see the road without the lights.

He had just opened the door when he returned to his dormitory, and the smell almost knocked him out. He didn't pay much attention to it, after all, it was a boys' dormitory, and it was normal to smell.

Open the doors and windows to ventilate the dormitory and lie back in bed. But as he walked past a bed, he suddenly realized that the stench might come from somewhere.

He sniffed and sniffed, and finally, he saw the dirty bed of the same table. He kindly reached out and picked up the dirty quilt that was half-held to the ground.

The moonlight was very bright that night, and he could clearly see that under the bed of so-and-so at the same table as him, there was a white skeleton...

So that night, there were two people lying on the bed that was only enough for one person to sleep. Two big men.

The next day, when it came time to clean the dormitory, Rand was the most aggressive. Since then, Minghong's storytelling has only been heard by Zhang Monkey and Sulos.

But why did you run to Rand's bed today?

Rand sat on the bed wrapped in a quilt, his face ugly. The sound of Xia Ming opening the door seemed to frighten them, and everyone turned their heads as if they were burned.

"What's wrong?" Xia Ming still asked, out of concern.

"Hell... Ghost... Broken..."

Rand trembled, and couldn't speak clearly.

Judging from the tense faces of Ming Hong and the others, it seemed that he had experienced a terrifying thing. And Fei Lin, even he frowned slightly.

Several people have long stopped discussing the question of whether he is the president of Xia University, because whenever it comes to President Xia, the cheater will definitely be mentioned. And it doesn't matter who Xia Ming is, because they have also been punished together.

"Ghosts, ghosts. Rand tucked his head under the covers.

Fei Lin gently patted him on the shoulder with his big hand, "Be brave, Rand, there are no ghosts in this world." ”

"I'll help you make it clear. ”

Ming Hong summed up the fragments of the words that Rand had mentioned earlier, analyzed the places he had been, and tried to roughly restore his meaning," Rand said, seeing ghosts. ”

Ming Hong shrugged and muttered. "How can there be ghosts in this world?"

Rand had a bad stomach tonight, and went to see a doctor in the infirmary behind the school grounds, and the doctor who treated him came to get him medicine behind the curtain, and Rand saw that the doctor had taken his hand off, and probably opened his ribs and took out his heart.

Rand didn't dare to take the medicine, so he ran back directly.

That's about how it went.

Randt's stomach still hurts. ”

That said, Rand didn't see behind the scenes. Just to see the shadow of the fire on the curtain!" Xia Ming said.

"I see it, I—" Rand said, hanging his head.

"How can you say that!" Ming Hong said to Xia Ming, and Sulos was even more unkind.

"I'm telling the truth. Since it's not a ghost, I'll go to the infirmary and steal the medicine back. Xia Ming said.

Minghong said: "No, it's after the night bell now, if you go out..."

"You can explain to the instructor who patrols the night that under special circumstances, you can't punish us too. Ferrin suggested.

"No, let Rand understand that there are no ghosts in this world. ”

Fei Lin said: "Count me in." ”

"No, you stay and take care of Rand. ”

Xia Ming once again blocked his meaning.

In the past month, they have found that Fei Lin's violent muscles are not actually violent, but make people feel safe, although few people try to stop him.

"Good!" replied Ferrin dryly.

"I also need an assistant, because if necessary, we have to 'make a noise.'"

When everyone was confused, Xia Ming explained: "This is to prevent you from running into an instructor on the way there! If a person is discovered, try to delay the time, make a move, and attract the instructor to it." ”

"Brother Ming, I'll go with you. Zhang Monkey said hurriedly, as if he was afraid that others would rob him.

"No, if you go, you wouldn't have been discovered..."

"Brother Ming, in front of such a few people, can you speak tactfully?" Zhang Monkey said in a strange voice.

In the end, Xia Ming asks Sulos to go with him, and this roommate, who always seems to be a little dissatisfied with him, really comes in handy at this time. Because when it comes to the real necessity, the two can definitely leave each other behind without leaving any psychological burden.

But unfortunately, this relationship did not come to fruition, they did not meet a single person along the way, and the instructor of the night patrol seemed to deliberately avoid them.

The lights in the infirmary had been turned off, and it wasn't too big, only in the north of the school grounds, under the audience stand, there was such a good place. It is indeed a long way from the freshman dormitory to here.

After Suros hid behind a certain pillar, Xia Ming didn't go in directly, he knocked a few times first, whether there was anyone or not, he had to take precautions in advance, and also hinted that Sulos knew that he was going to act.

There was no response inside, Xia Ming walked in reassuringly, and with the help of the silver light of the moon, he imagined himself as a rand.

What will be the first thing Rand who is fighting with his two feet, Xia Ming chose the nearest diagnostic table.

"Sir, do you need help?"

Rand explained the reason.

"Please wait. ”

The doctor will then write a note to the assistant and ask him about other conditions, noting his identity, cause, time, medications, price, etc. However, due to the late hour, the assistant may not be there, so he had to go and pick up the medicine himself, and considering that it was a minor illness such as stomach pain, he did not need to record it in detail.

Xia Ming then walked behind the curtain, and if what Rand said was true, the traces were quite obvious. It is impossible for a person to be without blood, the smell can be covered with drugs, and the traces of blood left in the environment are difficult to erase, especially for such a short time.

He carried the oil lamp he had bought from Randner last time, and found that it was also very poorly furnished, with a clean square table standing in the center of it. Xia Ming leaned over and found that the candle was not burning much, it was new. The floor is clean and it's not an exaggeration to say it's spotless - it must have been a mistake for Rand to be nervous!

So he turned the oil lamp and examined it carefully in the medicine cupboard. The bottles were labeled with corresponding labels, and he quickly found a cure for his stomach pain.

Just as he closed the wooden window and was about to leave, his hairs suddenly stood on end.

Transparent glass, blurred windows, a pair of eyes as red as charcoal shining like stars on a summer night, staring at him quietly. Even if it's just a reflection, it's like it's looking into your eyes.

The vial fell from his hand, and with a small click, it fell into a tiny hand.

"You are.." A woman's voice, but it sounded like it came from a wooden box.

At this time, all the lights were automatically lit, and the infirmary was bright.

Xia Ming saw something that looked like a person, but was not a person. It was a piece of wood, and it was made of wood all over its body. It has purple hair, a delicate small face, bright eyes, and a slender body that belongs to a woman. Under the bright lights, its eyes gradually turn black, just like a normal person.

It must have been created by a top-notch puppeteer.

But, isn't the puppet only able to live under the puppeteer's lift? How can it run out on its own?

"Xia, Xia Ming. Xia Ming didn't catch his breath yet.

"Xia Ming. The puppet returned the medicine bottle to him, "I know you, you are Xia Ming!"

"Yes. Xia Ming breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the puppet is just talking mechanically, and it is not smart.

He took the vial and hurried out of here. The puppet suddenly stopped him: "Wait. ”

Xia Ming obediently stopped.

"He's your friend. The puppeteer said. "I didn't scare him?"

"No, no. Xia Ming began to wonder if he was talking to someone, or if he was a puppet?

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to scare him. It was the doctor's sudden light that came on, and I was replacing the broken parts. Really, really, really sorry!"

It sincerely apologized.

Xia Ming said: "No, it's okay, I'll explain it to him when I go back." ”

"That's fine, go back and tell him that I'm your mechanics teacher in a few days, and my name is Diana No, not a ghost. ”

"It's... Mechanics teacher?"

"Yes, the principal told me, and I came. ”
