"Your friends are so weird."
After watching the boy leave, Zhou Yu said to Zhang Mumu in a casual manner.
Zhang Mumu, who seemed to have run over just now, had a red face and his hair was stained with rainwater, and he was wiping it with a paper towel. After hearing his words, she turned around and said seriously: "That's what Ah Wei is like. He's mentally ill."
"...What you say is even weirder than him."
As if he didn't understand what was wrong with his words, Zhang Mumu tilted his head in confusion, blinked and said "Huh?"
Because she acted too innocent, Zhou Yu decided not to pursue the matter further and instead asked, "What happened after I fell asleep?"
After asking this question, Zhang Mumu's eyes immediately lit up.
"After I woke up Mr. Zhou from his sleep state, his whole person became different! And as expected, he really, really didn't remember me anymore! It's really hypnosis!!"
"Well, yes, yes, that's what hypnosis is. You can't tell others." Zhou Yu said without changing his expression.
Zhang Mumu nodded desperately and made a zipper gesture with his hand in front of his mouth. Although he couldn't completely trust her honesty, Zhou Yu didn't have too many worries.
——After all, even acquaintances would not completely believe what this girl said.
"Forget it...Did you ask about anything? And the recording?"
Following Zhou Yu's question, Zhang Mumu took out the paper and mobile phone from his bag and handed them over as if to demonstrate his merit. On the paper is the so-called "Student Internship Situation Questionnaire of Our School".
Because the school has a special career guidance class, students are organized to conduct similar survey projects almost every semester. Because the investigation task is related to credits and grade points, generally speaking, the students being interviewed will cooperate with consideration.
Naturally, the form in Zhang Mumu's hand had nothing to do with the course. It was a form and questionnaire forged by Zhou Yu. Ignoring the meaningless information, he looked at the part where the key question was hidden.
Zhou Yu's internship in October was at an Internet company near Hongsen Square. The direct supervisor in charge of leadership at that time was the first human being that Zhou Yu saw when he was born. Needless to say, there was no news after that.
I had two internships before this. One was in the school library and the other was as a cafeteria waiter, a total of no more than four months. Because they were all in his junior year, Zhou Yu quickly skipped them.
"Practical activities in the first half of senior year...volunteer work?"
After turning over the internship project on the first page, he muttered what he filled out on the second page.
"July to September...social practice activities...school volunteers for deaf-mute children..."
Most majors at Migenzhu University have strict time requirements for internships. In addition to internships, participation in teaching and volunteer activities can also be partially offset as social practice activities. Seeing the handwriting on the form, Zhou Yu immediately remembered the contents of the diary. Although volunteering was mentioned several times, the specific content was not specified. From the description of the activity, it seemed like being an art teacher.
Combining the contents of this table, that is, I volunteered at a school for the deaf and taught art courses. Although I didn't go there every week, it lasted for more than three months, which seemed to prove Zhou Yu's preference for this job.
"Classmate Zhou has been a volunteer for three months. It's really amazing."
While flipping through the questionnaire, Zhang Mumu, who was sitting across from him, lay down on the table at some point, stuck his head out of the questionnaire, and read together upside down. In response, Zhou Yu moved his chair back slightly, and then said calmly: "It's just for social practice points."
"However, you can only get four weeks of practical points at most." Zhang Mumu said confidently while lying on the table, "So the rest of the time is all about the love of classmate Zhou."
"Thank you, but it always feels a bit uncomfortable for you to say it... Well, you are a local, right? Do you know any schools for the deaf and mute in the city?"
"I don't know." Zhang Mumu looked over blankly.
Zhou Yu closed his eyes, took out his cell phone with no surprise, and started searching on the electronic map. By national standards, the population of Migenzhu City can only be considered small and medium-sized, and the total number of corresponding educational institutions is quite limited, so it should not be difficult to find.
Sure enough, after entering "School for the Deaf" into the search bar, very few options popped up. The text in the second column caught his attention immediately.
"Maple Mountain School for the Deaf."
The red dot representing this school on the map is located just outside the Hongsen Plaza business district. It is closer to the west than the other places and is the closest option to Zhou Yu's residence.
Zhang Mumu, who heard his whisper, waved his hands happily: "Oh, I know Maple Mountain! It is said that there used to be a large maple forest there, and it was as red as the Flame Mountain in autumn. But then, the maple forest suddenly disappeared one day No more, only the name remains.”
"It was cut down and transformed into a commercial area, right?"
"It's missing. It's the kind that suddenly changes into another shape without noticing." Zhang Mumu insisted.
"...Since you are a student of the Faculty of Arts, I won't say anything. In short, Fengshan is the area of Hongsen Business District, right? The current address is Azef Road."
Judging from the geographical location, Fengshan is undoubtedly Zhou Yu's first choice.
"Although it might be a coincidence, it happens to be called Fengshan..." He took out his backpack and took off the pendant from the zipper. After seeing his actions, Zhang Mumu said "Ah" as if suddenly enlightened.
"The red leaves are maple leaves!"
This kind of crude pendant is probably not worth even one dollar when sold as a commodity. It is unimaginable that Zhou Yu, an art student, would hang it on her most commonly used backpack. But if there is a special meaning, then it is not difficult to understand if it is a little shabby.
"Probably from volunteering."
He made the inference unconsciously.
If it was a charity sale, the female rider and Zhou Yu might have been related to Fengshan School for the Deaf and Mute, so they received similar gifts. Forget it if they are just ordinary charity sale buyers. Volunteers and donors often register some identity information. In this way, you only need to go to the school and do a little research to figure out the identity of the female rider.
However, facing this clue that was right in front of him, Zhou Yu hesitated inexplicably.
The investigation of school activities must obviously be carried out during the day. Such frequent memory loss in a short period of time will arouse Zhou Yu's suspicion sooner or later. As long as you know that the hanging ornaments are in batches, it is almost enough to prove that the female rider and Zhou Yu are not the same person. There is no need to take risks and continue to delve deeper.
No matter how you think about it, a woman riding with weapons in the middle of the night cannot be harmless. To be cautious, it is better to suspend the investigation.
"Then go take a look!" Zhang Mumu shouted happily. At some point she had walked around the table, squeezed in next to Zhou Yu, pointed at the red dot on the map and said, "I'll be fine tomorrow!"
"...I didn't ask for your opinion, right?"
"But is everything okay, Mr. Zhou? The winter vacation has just begun, so there is no rush to prepare for the make-up exam."
"...How many doors have you registered?"
As if he hadn't heard anything at all, Zhang Mumu concluded: "Let's go there together tomorrow!"
The joyful tone without any sense of crisis seemed to treat this matter as an adventure game like escape room. The tone was so legitimate that Zhou Yu almost nodded in agreement.
"Wait a moment." Before being pulled out of the cafeteria by Zhang Mumu, he finally found room to speak. "It doesn't matter to you even if you want to go, right? What are you going to do?"
In response to this, Zhang Mumu blinked and replied matter-of-factly: "I have to take care of classmate Zhou. Your brain is not very good. It is dangerous to be alone. Even in the city, you may encounter bad people."
"...I just don't want you to say that."
Despite Zhou Yu's protest, Zhang Mumu still looked at him with a smile on his face with an "I don't understand" expression. After realizing that the other party was simply talking to himself, Zhou Yu also gave up the futile move and picked up the backpack instead.
"I understand, then let's make an appointment to meet at school tomorrow. I will meet at school first and then go there."
Zhang Mumu suddenly stopped pulling, stared at him and said, "Really?"
"I don't need to lie, right?"
"But, every time Ah Wei wanted to get rid of me, he would say similar things. He would first make an appointment to meet at school, and then secretly do the fun thing himself before I could react! Don't you, Mr. Zhou? Would you do such a thing?"
Zhou Yu was speechless for a moment after his intentions were exposed. He really didn't expect that Zhang Mumu would be shrewd in this kind of thing, or it could be said that the people around this guy were really bad characters, so that this natural idiot was deceived into sleeping.
"Of course I won't do such a thing." He looked away, straightened his neck, and replied in as natural a voice as possible.
Zhang Mumu still stared at him thoughtfully, making a thoughtful hum from time to time. Finally, she said as if she had an idea: "Ah, I have it!"
"have what?"
"Classmate Zhou, please stay with me tonight!"
"--no way."
"Come and stay at my house, it's very close to here. Classmate Zhou is a girl, so my parents won't say anything. We can also watch horror movies together at night! Because Classmate Zhou seems to be a very brave person, I'm sure You won’t be too scared to look at it like your roommates!”
"No need, I can just go back to my place." Zhou Yu said unmoved. However, when he tried to pull his arm out of Zhang Mumu's arms, the eight-clawed octopus-like arms attracted him with amazing power, like a spider web entangled in a butterfly.
"Classmate Zhou's home is too far away. Last time I came back from there, I almost got lost. It's very dangerous for a girl like Classmate Zhou to walk back alone."
"No, you are the only one who is in danger."
Still ignoring the objections, Zhang Mumu tightened his arms and showed a bright and innocent smile.
"Come, come, come to my house. You must come! Let's watch horror movies together!"
