The night is dark. There were no lights on in the building, only the dim light brought by the sparse stars and moon outside the window.
Cheng Ye climbed up the stairs. The tiles on this staircase look like the worn and yellowed floor tiles used in hospitals decades ago.
It feels inexplicably cold. Climb up one level at a time. Came to the fifth floor. Cheng Ye took a general look at the first four floors. The entire space was very shabby, making people feel like they were in the 1970s.
On the fifth floor, deep in the long dark corridor, there seemed to be a monster hiding, looking at Cheng Ye with eager eyes.
Cheng Ye did not move. He first checked the left and right sides. There were no lights, so he was not sure if anyone was there.
He squinted his eyes and thought for a moment. While downstairs, he looked at the entire exterior structure of the building.
Depending on where the stairs are, there will be fewer rooms on the right than on the left. Start your search from the right first.
He turned to the right. After reaching the fifth floor, there is no surveillance. This is like saying that the fifth layer is very important, so important that no monitoring is allowed.
Nothing is allowed to be recorded on the fifth floor. At the same time, it also seems to be a way for players to survive. Since they can think of this and have the ability to come here without being discovered, let's give them some convenience.
Cheng Ye opened the first door. It was empty, there was nothing in it. But it can be seen that no one has been working here for a long time.
It was dusty and messy papers were thrown haphazardly on the ground. Cheng Ye didn't think much about it. He picked up a few and glanced at them. They all contained useless information, so he threw them away and entered the next room.
There are only four rooms on the entire right side. Some rooms are locked and cannot be entered, and some rooms have shabby tables and look like they have not been occupied for a long time.
The entire right side is almost abandoned. Cheng Ye frowned and prepared to walk out of the abandoned room.
Logically speaking, the principal's office should be on the fifth floor. At this time, he heard the sound of the door being pushed open. There was a tearing and tearing sound.
In this quiet environment, it is extremely clear. Cheng Ye carefully pushed the door open a little and looked through the gap.
The fat woman walked out of a room on the left. She twisted her exaggerated cross, wore a signature red skirt, and locked the office door.
Where is she going? Cheng Ye held his breath and squatted down quietly. In this way, the gaze is at a lower position, making it harder to be discovered.
Many times, Cheng Ye felt that his eyes were full of energy. For example, someone is staring at you from behind. Although there are no eyes on the back of the head, you can still feel it.
So Cheng Ye didn't want to alert the enemy. The fat woman was quite perceptive. When she reached the stairwell, she stopped.
There is an inexplicable, strange and unsettling emotion. She always felt like she was being watched. There were no monitors on the fifth floor... She looked in Cheng Ye's direction doubtfully.
Cheng Ye retracted his head. Fortunately, it was dark enough that she couldn't see the scene in the distance clearly. She stood hesitantly for a while, then decided to go downstairs.
Cheng Ye heard her Dongdongdong footsteps. Gradually become lighter and smaller. Then he came out of the room.
He was the only one in the empty corridor. There seemed to be a rustling sound, but I couldn't hear it clearly. Cheng Ye stood in the middle, feeling increasingly numb.
He quickly dealt with his emotions and walked forward. He remembered where the woman was standing just now, so he walked straight towards that room.
The door was locked with one of those really old combination padlocks. If you kick it with your feet, you can kick it away... But... Cheng Ye glanced at the stairs and didn't know where the woman was now.
In such a quiet and small space, sound travels very quickly. He didn't want to add to the problem. He thought for a moment, turned around and tried the two rooms next to him. With luck, he opened one of the unlocked ones.
He immediately walked towards the window. As long as he confirms that the fat woman is gone, he can kick open the door lock.
Thinking about it, Cheng Ye had already walked to the window. He turned sideways, allowing his eyes to look out the window smoothly.
Although it was dark enough that it was impossible to see clearly what was inside from the outside, Cheng Ye was still cautious enough. In the field of vision, the woman appeared.
She seemed to be in a hurry, twisting her butt and walking towards the boys' dormitory. Cheng Ye stared at her back.
what time is it now? He remembered looking at the clock on the wall when he came up. It was nine thirty-two.
He went upstairs, slowing down slightly to cover up the sound of his footsteps. And on each floor, I explored a little bit about the scene inside the floor.
Including the time spent exploring the right side of the fifth floor... so now... twenty minutes should have passed at most.
What's a fat woman going to do before it's time to turn off the lights? Cheng Ye only thought about it for a brief moment. In his peripheral vision, the woman had left the area and entered the woods.
Cheng Ye immediately returned to the office door. He looked for a good angle, aimed at the door lock, and kicked it hard. Bang - there was a loud noise.
The sound echoed in the air. Cheng Ye quickly entered the room. His first reaction was to squat down and close the door.
There is light in this room, the dull light emitted by dozens of display screens. Cheng Ye quickly scanned the things in the room.
In front of them was a pile of surveillance monitors, densely intertwined, about thirty of them. Each monitor was divided into four or five screens, covering almost the entire orphanage.
Cheng Ye quickly wrote down the environment recorded in the picture. In front of him was a very comfortable but shabby rocking chair sofa.
There are several cabinets around. To be honest, if the orphanage wasn't so weird, he wouldn't have noticed anything strange in this small office.
Numerous monitoring can be said to be for the safety of children. In addition to monitoring, this room also has a set of broadcasting equipment.
Cheng Ye checked and determined that this was the place where the broadcast was made during the morning game. In other words, the fat woman was sitting here, observing everyone's performance through the monitor, and reporting the progress of the game from time to time.
So, is it possible that these cameras are just for monitoring their game completion? In other words, he was observing something.
Still a little strange though. How could she see so many cameras by herself? If she couldn't see them, how could she accurately report the progress of the game?
Cheng Ye suppressed the doubts in his heart for the time being, and then searched the room carefully. He carefully observed behind each display screen and found nothing hidden.
Some hidden corners were carefully searched, but nothing was found. He patiently opened all the drawers that could be opened, and violently dismantled the ones that couldn't be opened.
But apart from scraping out a pile of potato chip crumbs and packaging bags, there was nothing else. Suddenly, Cheng Ye noticed something was wrong.
This room didn't even have a window. He immediately looked around and confirmed again. Indeed, there are no windows.
This room must be very important. There are no windows left. The only worry is that it will be discovered. Cheng Ye suddenly thought of something.
A picture of the building's appearance came to his mind again. He has actually looked at this picture carefully countless times.
Even which piece is concave can be found at your fingertips. But now, he sensed an important message.
He quickened his pace and quickly left the room. I don’t know when that woman will come back.
It has to be as fast as possible. He also wanted to help Huanhuan and the others turn off the power switch. After Cheng Ye walked out of the room, he kicked hard towards another room that had just been locked.
He just overlaid the exterior and interior composition of the building. He discovered a problem.
That is where there should be a space. What he wants to confirm now is what is in this space.
This kind of room that was locked from the inside was a bit difficult to open. Cheng Ye tried his best to kick the door several times before opening it.
As soon as he entered, Cheng Ye felt gloomy. I can't see anything, I can't reach my fingertips. Because there is no light, it is really difficult to see clearly.
Cheng Ye thought for a while, then stepped back and opened the door of the monitoring room next door. Light finally entered the room.
Cheng Ye was stunned on the spot. There are some big-headed dolls in the room. They are piled on the ground. Each doll has an expressionless face, with its head taking up three-quarters of its body.
Especially like the way the third ball appears during hide-and-seek. Cheng Ye walked closer and counted the number of dolls. There were thirteen in total.
The doll's eyes were very big and round, looking at Cheng Ye. Cheng Ye approached the doll, bent down and stared into its eyes.
Countless sleeping insects lie on the glass-like Tongren wall. It was like a kaleidoscope, densely packed with insects.
They, like these dolls, seem to be resting. What is this... is it the monster that caught them in the morning, or... is it just a rag doll... Cheng Ye felt a chill, and he frowned and searched the room.
But the weak light couldn't illuminate the entire room, and it was difficult to see. Cheng Ye tried to move the dolls away to see if there was anything underneath them.
But when he touched the doll, Cheng Ye was stunned. He raised his hand, and the faint light illuminated his fingertips.
The fingertips were stained with liquid from Huhu, and I didn’t know what it was. Transparent and very viscous.
Cheng Ye put his fingers under his nose and sniffed. There was a smell of blood. It looked like a corpse that hadn't been cleaned up for several days.
Cheng Ye looked a little pale. Is this corpse water... The eyes of these rag dolls seemed to be focused on Cheng Ye, making Cheng Ye feel uncomfortable all over.
He looked at the doll's eyes again, and vaguely seemed to see them smiling. Cheng Ye suppressed the discomfort in his heart and rummaged through the dolls one by one.
The sticky liquid quickly wrapped around his hand, leaving it everywhere on his hands and clothes. The stench soon enveloped him.
Originally, the smell was not so strong when placed quietly, but as I rummaged through it, these liquids dissipated very quickly, and suddenly the entire space began to smell.
The fat woman who was far away in the boys' dormitory happily preparing drinks for the evening seemed to feel something.
She stopped what she was holding, feeling panicked. He looked towards the direction of the office building. Ever since she left the office building, she had been feeling something was wrong.
After arriving at the boys' dormitory, drinks were provided, which made her happy again. This is good stuff, absolutely excellent stuff.
At this moment, the fat woman put down what she was holding and hurriedly explained the thirteen beautiful teachers who looked exactly the same in front of her.
Have them prepare drinks for each group member. Then he hurriedly left the boys' dormitory and walked towards the office building.
Her baby seemed to have been moved. How could it be possible? Someone shouldn't have gone in... She was the only one who existed in the office building, so who else would move her treasure?
What's more... the rooms are all locked. The fat woman quickened her pace, and then her right hand suddenly turned into a monitor and was held up in front of her.
She started to play back the surveillance video. She must have been ignored somewhere. She chose an hour ago, and the footage from sixteen cameras around the office building was played simultaneously.
She's bound to find out what's wrong. At this moment, Cheng Ye was still standing and observing these dolls carefully.
These dolls range from big to small. There is a huge doll protecting twelve small ones. They cling to each other like a happy family.
They all look different, and their facial features are distinctly different. The only thing that is the same is that they are all big-headed dolls, and each doll has countless bugs in its eyes, and they are all wearing red skirts.
It was exactly the same as the big-headed monster that was looking for them on the playground. It's just that this is a smaller version of the monster.
Soon, Cheng Ye found the monster among them, the monster they had seen at close range. There was an iron chain tied to her right arm. The iron chain dug deeply into the doll's arm, and the silk floss inside was exposed.
Just like the monster dragging the chain, his arm was stuck in the chain and the flesh was drawn out. Cheng Ye quickly rummaged through the dolls. He turned each doll over to make sure there was nothing hidden underneath.
The fat woman on the road seemed to sense it too. She almost saw something strange about Cheng Ye, but this moment disturbed her mind.
She simply put away the screen and started running towards the office building with concentration. ... Cheng Ye finished rummaging and stood there thinking about something.
He tried to find something relevant among the messy clues. But there was nothing. What role do these big-headed dolls that look the same as monsters play in the entire dungeon?
Cheng Ye looked around. After rummaging around, too much time was wasted and the room became messy.
But I didn't find anything particularly useful... By the way! Cheng Ye quickly walked to the innermost wall and knocked on it.
Then he exited, returned to the monitoring room, and knocked on the wall again. Sure, there is another room in the middle of these two rooms.
This is what he just thought of. Outside the building, there are no windows in this entire area. So in his conception, it is either a whole space or a large room.
But after coming up, it actually split into two. So Cheng Ye wanted to make sure if there was any room to hide.
Unexpectedly... Cheng Ye laughed, and it became clear what he should do next. …
