Chapter 52: Lin Jia is here
Yue Ran, who had dyed yellow hair and wore a white T-shirt, came out of the auditorium and went down the same stairs to the lobby on the fourth floor.
The flashlight that Zhang Yuan used to smash the mirror before was not taken away when he went to the fifth floor. Instead, it was mixed with the mirror fragments scattered on the ground. The white light beam appeared in the bright fourth floor hall. So bleak.
Yue Ran picked up Zhang Yuan's miniature flashlight and put it into his pocket. Then he looked towards the right corridor of the fourth floor.
Although the hall on the fourth floor was brightly lit, the corridors on both sides were wrapped in endless darkness.
"Wen Yao and the others didn't seem to have said that the game is limited to the teaching building. If they had to run outside, the game would be very difficult. No wonder Wen Yao gave us a time limit of twelve o'clock at midnight. Really? Quite naughty.”
Yue Ran took a miniature flashlight and shined it in the direction of the corridors on both sides. The white light pillar quickly merged into the darkness in the corridor.
"There are abandoned classrooms in the corridors on the left and right sides of the fourth floor. These classrooms can provide hiding spaces. There is also the bathroom at the end of the corridor on the left, where people can also hide. Hey, it is really a very big place. A lot of work.”
At this time, there was a sudden sound of turning the doorknob from the dark depths of the corridor on the right. The rustling sound reminded Yue Ran of the mouse hiding in the corner of the room in the middle of the night and constantly gnawing at the wall.
"I forgot that there is a dean on this floor."
Yue Ran murmured quietly, and then walked decisively towards the left corridor.
Holding the miniature flashlight that Zhang Yuan dropped here in his hand, the white light beam in the darkness was like red-hot steel balls placed on the ice, constantly melting the darkness here.
Yue Ran stretched out his hand and groped on the wall at the entrance of the corridor for a while. With a "click" sound, the incandescent lamp in the corridor once again gave off dim light.
"The switch was closed and someone turned it off on purpose."
When Yue Ran and Zhang Yuan just went up from the third floor to the fourth floor, the incandescent light in the corridor on the right was still on.
Yue Ran, who had dyed yellow hair and wore a white T-shirt, pinched his earlobes out of habit.
"That is to say, besides me, Zhang Yuan and the person suspected of being the dean, there was a fourth person on the fourth floor at that time."
Yue Ran added something in his heart.
"Maybe more than four."
Yue Ran raised his eyebrows, and then continued walking deeper into the corridor on the left.
The incandescent lamp was already on, and Yue Ran put the miniature flashlight left by Zhang Yuan back into his pocket.
With the dim light, Yue Ran looked towards the first classroom on the left corridor next to the hall on the fourth floor.
The door handle of the classroom has fallen off, and only a simple rope is used to tie it. There are tables, chairs or a few stool legs piled randomly inside, or the entire table top is scattered on the ground, or it has fallen to the ground in pieces due to lack of screws. .
The blackboard in front of the podium also seemed to have not been cleaned for a long time. It was covered with dust and random graffiti left by someone who ran in.
"I don't know which naughty students created this classroom, but judging from the dust on the desks, chairs and blackboard, it seems like no one has been here for a long time."
Yue Ran tried to push the wooden door that was tied with a rope. The wooden door creaked, as if it would collapse in front of Yue Ran in the next second.
Yue Ran did not try to enter this classroom, but chose to move forward.
Yue Ran was surprised by the damage here. It seemed that no one had come to clean it up in a few years or more. The lock on the classroom door had long been broken, and the tables and chairs inside had also been artificially painted with graffiti, but this should have been a long time ago. The classroom is now covered with dust, and the graffiti on the desks, chairs, and blackboards has also been covered up in the dust.
Just when Yue Ran, who had dyed yellow hair and wore a white T-shirt, walked to the door of one of the classrooms, he suddenly stopped and looked inside along the ajar door. On the dust on the ground, A few scattered footprints appeared. Looking in the direction of the footprints, Yue Ran found that the place where the footprints disappeared was on the window of the classroom near the podium.
"You're not going to jump out of the window, are you?" Yue Ran touched his earlobe out of habit.
While I was thinking, the open window was blown by the wind outside, making a "squeaking" sound.
Yue Ran came to the window sill and happened to see a slightly fat student wearing glasses and a blue and white school uniform running out from the corner of the junior high school teaching building.
Yue Ran recalled the little fat man's name.
"I remember his name is Zhao Xing. He is in Class 5 of the second year of the junior high school. Judging from the direction he ran out, he should be heading to the cafeteria."
"Go find him later."
It wasn't that Yue Ran didn't want to go find Zhao Xing now, but he couldn't be sure that the third floor or other floors would allow him to go down safely. He didn't want to have that kind of terrifying experience again.
Yue Ran withdrew his gaze, walked out of the classroom, and then, guided by the dim lights, came to the end of the left corridor. Compared to the right corridor, there was an extra bathroom in the left corridor.
The wooden door painted milky white has two figures of a man and a woman painted on it.
"You can hide people here."
Yue Ran stood at the door and hesitated for a moment, then got into the men's toilet on the left.
The toilet is used very frequently and is cleaned in a timely manner, so there is no peculiar smell here as Yue Ran imagined.
There is a sink at the door of the men's restroom. There is a mirror hanging on the sink, but at this time, someone has broken it into pieces. Fine cracks have spread on the mirror, dividing Yue Ran's face.
After a little hesitation, Yue Ran pushed open the toilet cubicle near the sink.
"empty."
Yue Ran pushed open the second, third, and fourth compartments, all of which were empty. It wasn't until he pushed open the penultimate compartment, which was the fifth compartment, that he discovered something unusual.
The walls of the cubicle are covered with pictures, with deep red strokes, but I don’t know what material was used to paint them.
The pictures on the wall were crooked, as if they had been drawn in a state of extreme panic and fear.
Yue Ran frowned because he saw a person's name on it, that was Lin Jia. Although it was written crookedly, Yue Ran still recognized it.
This was the first time Yue Ran saw the words Lin Jia presented in text in front of him after entering here.
Pupils shrank, Yue Ran carefully searched for the messy patterns painted on the wall of the toilet cubicle. When he looked diagonally upward with the word "Lin Jia" as the center, the appearance of the other two words made his eyes His eyes froze again.
"Coming," Yue Ran slowly read out the two words, "Lin Jia, coming, Lin Jia is coming!"
