Chapter 48: Dean of Students
The incandescent lamp in the corridor on the fourth floor was not broken, but the entire lamp holder fell down together with the incandescent lamp screwed to it, and was hung precariously on the ceiling by only an exposed copper wire. It seemed like it would fall directly from above in the next second.
Dim yellow light casts on the teacher's office at the end of the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor and the door opposite that says the Dean's Office.
The door of the teacher's office is a double glass door. The translucent glass separates the dark corridor from the office. A red and rusty U-shaped lock tightly locks the handle of the translucent glass door. There is a metal door sign with the name Teacher's Office hanging on it.
The translucent glass made the scene inside the teacher's office blurred and unrecognizable, which also made Yue Ran give up the idea of peeking into the scene inside.
The dim light continued to sway, like the rippling light of sunlight viewed from beneath the water.
His eyes moved to the single-open wooden door on the other side, which was the dean's office. The light brown paint seemed to be peeling off in spots due to the passage of time. The fonts engraved on the metal door plate on the door frame were also because of the It becomes mottled over time and cannot be seen clearly.
Yue Ran remembered that during the day, on the fourth floor, he also saw a dean's office in the high school, but the dean was not there at that time.
"Is this the dean of junior high school?"
Yue Ran, who had just arrived for a day, didn't know much about Sunan University. He just looked at the wooden door of the dean's office. He was always worried that someone would come out of that door the next second.
"Like the principal, Sunan University has only one dean, but he has two offices, one for the junior high school and one for the high school. However, since the principal disappeared, the dean has not appeared in the high school."
Zhang Yuan paused, and then added, "Ma Shan told me."
Glancing at the wooden door of the dean's office with a metal door plate, Yue Ran nodded slightly. He always felt that there was a pair of eyes wrapped in crimson mist looking at him from behind the door.
The corridor is very long, with classrooms on the left and right sides. However, like the fourth floor of the high school, the classrooms here are also empty. There are some white chalk writings on the blackboard that have not been wiped clean, and there is writing on the lower left side of the blackboard. A lesson schedule.
"free time."
Yue Ran read out the words on the timetable in the lower left corner of the blackboard in a low voice, and then he felt a little strange. If no one was in class, then who was the timetable on the blackboard for?
Yue Ran thought of a possibility that sent shivers down his spine, and then he quickened his pace and never dared to stay too long at the door of the classroom.
"Did you notice that it was always the students who attacked us on the third floor?" Zhang Yuan glanced at Yue Ran, whose pace had obviously accelerated, and then continued, "Liu Jiang doesn't seem to be able to come out of the classroom."
Obviously, Zhang Yuan does not have much respect for Chinese teachers.
Ever since Zhang talked about his system mission, Yue Ran mentally changed his name for Zhang Yuan from "cheap deskmate" to "cheap bodyguard".
Yue Ran nodded in agreement, but did not speak.
"I remember Liu Jiang mentioned at nine o'clock that you should not skip classes. This is the school's rule." Zhang Yuan saw that Yue Ran agreed with his statement, so he continued, "Maybe this school rule is not only for us, but also for us. For teachers, for everyone here, think about it from another aspect, teachers are not allowed to leave the classroom during class, otherwise it is considered as skipping class. Since skipping class, you will face punishment, but the manipulated doll will not violate this school rule. .”
When Zhang Yuan said this, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had found a ray of light in the darkness.
"We can use school rules to deal with the dangers here."
At the same time, Yue Ran had already given a high rating to his cheap bodyguard in his heart.
"You're very smart, you can guess this."
Yue Ran learned about the existence of school rules through task prompts, and also guessed that school rules were not only for students, but also for teachers. Only in this way could he explain why in Class 2 of the third year of the junior high school, only those students who were manipulated by the Chinese teacher were pursued. came out, and the transparent silk threads used by the Chinese teacher to control the students should have a distance limit.
Thinking of this, Yue Ran quietly distanced himself from Zhang Yuan. Although his cheap bodyguard was not harmful to him for the time being, it was hard to say what kind of relationship the two would have in the next mission.
"There is no attribute panel here, and all tasks are done by mouth. It is difficult not to make people doubt the authenticity of the content."
You have to be cautious about everything. This is the experience Yue Ran summed up after watching the endings of countless villains in countless movies.
"Of course, I'm not a villain." Yue Ran pinched his earlobes out of habit, and then glanced at Zhang Yuan who was walking in front.
At the same time, when the two of them walked to the middle of the corridor, the originally swaying dim incandescent lights suddenly flickered, and then darkness enveloped the place. Only the incandescent lights on the ceiling were connected by exposed copper wires. The lights went out completely.
"Snapped--"
Zhang Yuan's miniature flashlight lit up again, and a white beam of light traveled through the darkness until it illuminated the end of the corridor, completely blending with the darkness in the corridor at the end.
"There's a power outage again, be careful." Zhang Yuan warned.
The silence in the darkness is like an amplifier, amplifying everything here and at the same time amplifying fear.
The light of the miniature flashlight guided the two of them forward. Yue Ran and Zhang Yuan were walking on thin ice in the darkness, as if they were facing tremendous pressure every step forward.
"Click it──"
The sound of the door lock being twisted came from the end of the darkness. The sound seemed like an arrow coming from the unknown darkness. It directly pierced the hearts of Yue Ran and Zhang Yuan, infinitely amplifying the fear of the unknown buried deep in their hearts. .
The white beam of light in the miniature flashlight shines in the direction of the sound. It is like a black hole that can swallow everything, swallowing up all the light near here.
"Click-"
There was another sound of the door handle being turned, and then the door shaft turned. With a dull sound, a pair of eyes that seemed to be wrapped in crimson mist poked out from the door in the distance.
The light of the miniature flashlight quickly shone through, and the eyes that seemed to be wrapped in red mist quickly retracted into the door.
"what is that?"
Those eyes disappeared so quickly that Zhang Yuan didn't have time to see them clearly, but Yue Ran beside him opened his mouth slightly, and then slowly uttered a few words.
"That's the dean of students!"
