Chapter 42: Classroom in the Dark
Yue Ran looked sideways at Zhang Yuan. He remembered his speculation about Zhang Yuan during the day at the door of Class 2, Grade 3, Senior High School. The speculation about multiple copies, but he had no evidence, so Yue Ran didn't think about it again. Now that Zhang Yuan took the initiative to mention the fifth floor of the high school teaching building in front of him, he remembered that guess again.
"Maybe my guess is right." Yue Ran said silently in his heart.
However, he did not tell Zhang Yuan his guess. Firstly, Yue Ran was not sure whether Zhang Yuan was a "player" like him or a character specially designed to "fish" in the copy. Secondly, even if Zhang Yuan really was "Player", then it is difficult not to guarantee what kind of tasks the other party will have.
"Maybe it's your mission to kill yourself." Yue Ran pinched his earlobe and complained secretly in his heart.
Finding that Yue Ran didn't speak for a long time, Zhang Yuan knew that he might be too anxious, or that his words might remind the other person of something.
"I saw you on the fourth floor..." Before he finished speaking, Yue Ran interrupted Zhang Yuan.
"You don't need to explain anything. Everyone has secrets, including you and me." Yue Ran imitated Zhang Yuan's behavior during the day and said exactly what he said to him at that time.
Zhang Yuan opened his mouth and said nothing more, but Yue Ran spoke again: "I remember you said that the fifth floor is dangerous."
"······"
"So you've been to the fifth floor?" Yue Ran was still reluctant.
Zhang Yuan just glanced at Yue Ran with a strange expression, and then didn't answer him. However, Yue Ran took it as Zhang Yuan's acquiescence, and then he asked again: "What are you looking for on the fifth floor? "
Zhang Yuan sighed, then raised his hand in Yue Ran's direction.
Seeing Zhang Yuan's stretched out hand, Yue Ran quickly took two steps back like a frightened cat, keeping a certain distance from the other party.
Zhang Yuan was not surprised at all by Yue Ran's strong reaction. Instead, he thought it was normal.
"Let's continue going upstairs. If anything happens, we'll talk about it when we get to the fifth floor." Zhang Yuan stood there and said to Yue Ran.
The reason why Yue Ran reacted so violently just now was entirely because one of his system tasks was to not let "ghosts" catch him. Therefore, before Yue Ran fully confirmed Zhang Yuan's identity, he would try his best to communicate with the other party. They kept a distance, and sometimes Yue Ran even thought about acting alone, but when he thought of what happened in the hallucination just now, Yue Ran gave up such thoughts.
There was nothing thrilling about the journey from the second floor to the third floor, but occasionally Yue Ran said some irrelevant nonsense in order to liven up the atmosphere, and was ignored by the preoccupied Zhang Yuan.
Since Zhang Yuan was unwilling to interact with him, Yue Ran was not looking for trouble, but just kept a certain distance from him.
The layout of the junior high school and high school in Jiangsu University is very similar. The first floor is for the first grade, the second floor is for the second grade, and the third floor is for the third grade. However, the fourth floor of the junior high school only has teachers’ offices, and there is no office for the dean. The other vacant classrooms were also used as utility rooms by the junior high school students, where some things that were not usually used were piled up.
As for the fifth floor, Zhang Yuan just told Yue Ran that there are no classrooms or offices on the fifth floor of the junior high school. It is an auditorium with only one door separating it from the corridor, and there is a machine in the hall on the fifth floor. A piano without sound.
"That piano is also a taboo in the school," Zhang Yuan said to Yue Ran. "Three years ago, this was an auditorium. At that time, the piano could still make sounds. Then one day, for unknown reasons, it suddenly stopped making sounds. , no matter who plays it, there will be no sound."
Yue Ran clearly remembered that when he was kicked in here by Senior Li Muran, the system prompt sounded as if he mentioned something from three years ago.
"Three years ago, Lin Jia, who lived in dormitory 704, opened the window of his dormitory and jumped out of the window with resentment towards those who had bullied him. Since then, a series of incidents have begun in Southern Jiangsu University. Incredible rules. Three years later, all the chaos began when the principal disappeared..."
Yue Ran pinched his earlobe calmly, and at the same time recalled the system's introduction to this place.
"Both happened three years ago. It's hard not to believe that the two are related." Yue Ran said secretly in his heart.
Thinking of this, Yue Ran noticed another problem.
"There seems to be no principal's office in the junior high school."
"Well, because there is no principal in the junior high school, there is only one principal in the entire Jiangsu University, and there is only one principal's office, which is on the fifth floor of the high school teaching building." Zhang Yuan told Yue Ran truthfully.
Yue Ran seemed to understand the importance of the principal to Sunan University.
When they said this, Yue Ran and Zhang Yuan had already reached the third floor. Just as they were about to continue going up, they suddenly found that the stairs from the third floor to the fourth floor were gone. There was only a flat platform on the third floor, and On the platform stands a statue of a character whose face has been artificially damaged.
At this time, Yue Ran and Zhang Yuan looked at each other, and both saw doubts in each other's eyes.
"Why is there a statue here?"
Because Yue Ran was new here and was unfamiliar with everything here, he asked Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan was silent. To be honest, this was the first time he saw this statue. When he came to the junior high school before, Zhang Yuan did not remember that there was a statue here, and he also clearly remembered that there was a statue in the main hall of each floor. The stairs leading to the upper floors, and the layout of each floor is the same, all start as a wide staircase, and then split from the gentle platform to both sides, into two slightly narrower stairs.
Zhang Yuan slowly retreated to the third floor. At this time, Yue Ran also understood Zhang Yuan's thoughts. He wanted to go up the stairs at the end of the corridor on both sides.
The incandescent lamps on the ceilings of the corridors on both sides of the third floor seemed to be broken, flickering from time to time. The tungsten filaments in the incandescent lamps streaked across the night sky like lightning in the darkness, and then gradually extinguished and disappeared, causing the place to return to darkness again.
Zhang Yuan once again held his miniature flashlight in his hand, and then walked towards the corridor on the right. The weak light only illuminated a distance of two or three meters in front of him, and then was completely swallowed up by darkness and disappeared.
The occasional flash of light allowed Yue Ran to vaguely see the scene at the end of the corridor. The broken safety passage sign hung crookedly under the corner of the wall. The exposed wires looked like poisonous snakes with drooped heads. Waiting for someone to step on its body and let it show off its power.
On the side of the broken safety sign, there was a classroom with a faint light. The classroom was very quiet, and the only thing that could be heard was the "dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah" of the teacher writing on the blackboard. "the sound of.
