Enter the principal's room.
The principal's office is spacious and tidy, and everything is neatly tidied, except for the messy and irregular white scratches on the floor.
In the center of the room is a bronze bust with eyes closed. This kind of bronze statue is usually placed in the courtyard or on the grand staircase.
Now it is placed in a square room, which is really abrupt and strange.
Anxi glanced up and down at the bronze bust. On the base of the bronze statue was engraved a string of small words: The seventeenth principal.
This bronze statue is... the principal?
Or is it just the principal's decoration style and keen on placing his own statue in his office?
"An Qian." Xu Yun tugged on An Qian's sleeve and reminded her, "Hurry up and start looking."
"Okay." Anxi looked away from the bronze statue.
No matter what, their most urgent task now is to find Ye Jing's suicide note.
An Qian is in charge of the middle area around the principal's desk, Wu is in charge of the bookshelf on the left, and Xu Yun is in charge of the cabinet on the right.
The three of them split up.
Anxi squatted on the ground and opened the bottom drawer on the right side of the table. It was filled with various folders and information bags.
Anxi started to flip through them one by one, and they were all related to school regulations. She then opened the drawer on the upper floor, and it was still the same, all filled with folders.
"Do I have to look through every folder?" Anxi looked at the drawers full of drawers and began to have trouble.
Looking up and looking to both sides, Wu and Xu Yun also dug out a pile of folders and information bags and checked them one by one.
"It seems that there is no good solution. I can only speed up and check them one by one."
An Qian stared at the backs of the two of them and lowered her head helplessly, preparing to search again.
But the moment he lowered his head, he caught a glimpse of something wrong from the corner of his eye.
Just now... was the bronze statue in this position?
Anxi looked up in confusion.
She had observed the position of the bronze statue when she came in. It was placed in the center line of the entire room like the desk in front of her.
Now it looks like it's a little to the left.
Anxi just felt weird.
The bronze bust in front of him... tilted his head in a cooperative manner.
Its neck slowly turned to Xu Yun's side, and its closed eyes trembled, as if it wanted to open them.
not good! This bronze statue is really moving!
[Yunhui Middle School Principal’s Office Rules]
【1. When the principal wakes up, don't be discovered by him. 】
An Qian thought of the rules outside the principal's office, and shouted to Xu Yun's position without any further thought: "Xu Yun! Hide quickly!"
Xu Yun was startled when he heard the sound. He turned his head and found that the avatar that was originally facing the gate was now turning to look at him.
Of course Xu Yun also remembered the rules outside the door, and he quickly looked around for a place to hide.
But the bronze statue's half-open eyes didn't give him any time at all.
Xu Yun looked at the metal cabinet that he had rummaged through. The upper floor of the cabinet was in the style of a bookshelf, and the lower floor was a tall, long storage space.
He simply threw out all the remaining cardboard boxes and information, squeezed into the lower space, and closed the cabinet door.
The direction of the bronze statue is facing Xu Yun.
Wu will have more time to hide here.
His side was full of open bookshelves, unlike Xu Yun's side which was blocked by cabinet doors.
Wu glanced around and selected the window. There were narrow windowsills on both sides of the window with some green plants placed there.
He quickly walked to the window, jumped up to the window sill, drew the curtain, and blocked himself.
Anxi, on the other hand, hid under the desk and pulled a chair in front of her.
She had just taken advantage of the bronze statue to turn to Xu Yun and carefully observed the movements of the bronze statue.
The bronze statue is a half-length bronze statue. The lower part starting from the waist is a solid plaster base. Therefore, although the bronze statue can be moved as a whole, it cannot bend and twist. At most, it can only move its neck.
Therefore, as long as you hide in a low place where it cannot be seen without bending down, you can still avoid being discovered by it.
"Wow..."
The plaster base moved on the ground and made a sound.
The bronze statue's eyes were fully open at this time, but under his copper eyelids were fleshy eyeballs, like a flesh-and-blood tumor embedded in the eye socket.
Xu Yun hid in the cabinet and saw through the gap in the cabinet door that the base of the bronze statue was slowly moving towards the cabinet.
It moved slowly, its heavy base dragging along the ground, leaving a screeching sound and white trails.
After moving like this for a few steps, the bronze statue seemed to have lost its direction, and suddenly stopped in place, motionless and quiet for a while.
I haven't heard any movement for a long time.
An Qian bravely took a peek.
The bronze statue had closed its eyes and stopped two meters away from the cabinet.
It fell asleep again.
"Okay, you can come out." An Qian reminded in a soft voice.
The three of them walked out of their respective hiding places and began to rummage through various folders again.
I searched like this for about three minutes.
"Wow..."
The sound of the bronze statue moving sounded again.
The three people hurriedly hid in their previous positions again.
"Wow...Wow..."
The bronze statue rolled its eyes and made the sound of flesh and air squeezing.
It changed direction this time, facing Anxi's desk.
Anxi held her breath and concentrated.
She found that the ears of the bronze statue seemed to be unable to hear sounds, and the only thing that could distinguish the surroundings were its fleshy eyes.
The bronze statue moved a certain distance and then stopped.
The three men immediately showed up and continued rummaging.
Anxi remembered that it slept for three minutes, during which they could move freely.
But unexpectedly, about two minutes later.
"Wow..."
The bronze statue opened its eyes unexpectedly.
Anxi, who was near the desk with the bronze statue, almost bumped into her, and she quickly fell to the ground.
The bronze statue moved for a moment and then stopped again.
Then, a minute later, before Anxi could stand up completely, she woke up again!
The time it sleeps is slowly decreasing.
Soon, it will stay awake.
How to do this.
Anxi huddled under the table.
The bronze statue has already walked around the desk, heading towards the bookcase on the left, and Wu has been ordered by Anxi to hide behind the curtain and not come out again.
This bronze statue cannot hear sounds and can only see with the fleshy balls in its eye sockets.
Then, just continue searching while its back is turned to you.
Just do it.
Time is running out now and we cannot delay it for a moment.
Anxi crawled out from under the table and stood half-bent in front of the table.
The bronze statue was now completely facing away from her, facing the door. Now was the best opportunity.
Anxi reached for the last drawer, pulled it slightly, and then immediately looked up at the bronze statue. As expected, the bronze statue did not respond to the sound.
Anxi confidently and boldly opened the drawer, and there was a locked black wooden box inside.
This box has an atmosphere about it: "Yes, it's me, and the thing you've been looking for for a long time is on me."
Anxi picked up the wooden box, but she didn't expect that the wooden box was nailed firmly to the table. What does this mean?
She raised her eyes to look at the bronze statue again, which had already begun to turn around.
With the bronze statue facing her in a straight line position, the bronze statue only needs to be rotated about 60 degrees to catch a glimpse of Anxi out of the corner of her eye.
Within a 60-degree range, it would take about five seconds to turn around at the speed of the bronze statue.
time does not wait.
Anxi eagerly took out the correction fluid and tapped it on the box.
【Ding! 】
[The "fixed black wooden box" has been detected. Would you like to add or modify the prefix? 】
Anxi: "Change it to unfixed!"
【……】
The correction fluid enters the modification stage.
Anxi kept her eyes fixed on the bronze statue, whose profile was almost visible. She was so anxious that her hands were sweating. She had never felt that the correction fluid was working so slowly.
【Ding! 】
[It has been changed to "unfixed black wooden box", please check. 】
While the correction fluid was flowing again, the bronze statue also turned around.
The fleshy balls in its eyes suddenly focused on An Qian's body, and then began to squirm violently. Almost instantly, the copper skin on the bronze statue collapsed, revealing the humanoid flesh and blood underneath.
The base of the bronze statue stood in place, its flesh and blood body elongated instantly, and it rushed towards An Qian very quickly.
Wu was the first to react, jumped down from the window sill, hugged Anxi, and rolled over to avoid it.
The box in his arms was impacted by Wu's movement, the lid was opened by the force, and a thin piece of paper flew out from the box.
An Qian was shocked and quickly reached out to pick it up.
At the same time, the humanoid flesh and blood also launched another attack. It shot out like a spring with all its strength, and was bound to penetrate An Qian's body.
But just when it was about to touch Anxi, Anxi's hand touched the thin white paper first.
