A rag collector opened the east door of Yaquin Private School, then put the key away and pushed his cart into the school.
The key to the east door was specially equipped for him by the school because it has been cooperating with Yaquin Private School for a long time. The rag collector's family cleans the playground, garbage dump and other areas for the school, so that they can take away all the unwanted old materials for free. Books, old newspapers, etc.
Normally, the old books provided to him by the school are piled in a small temporary warehouse next to the east teaching building.
He no longer has to go through the main entrance of the school to reach the small warehouse. The school gave him a key and he can come and pick it up regularly every week.
When the man passed the corridor on the first floor of the East Teaching Building, he saw some paper scraps thrown on the ground. He subconsciously picked up the broom leaning in the corner of the corridor and quickly cleaned the area.
During this period, he found that there were no students in the classroom on the first floor. It was empty. It was class time at the moment. He didn't know if these students were doing class activities.
Without thinking much, the man put down the broom and dustpan, came to the small warehouse, took out the key assigned to him by the school, opened the door, went in and took out a few stacks of folded old books and magazines, and then put them in his trolley. inside.
During this period, he also saw a dozen empty beer bottles placed behind the door of the warehouse. They might have been brought over from the canteen for him to take away. The man who collected the rags was grateful and put the beer bottles away together. Got the trolley.
When he closed the door and was about to leave, he looked up and saw a man standing in the corridor on the second floor of the East Teaching Building, staring at him without saying a word.
People with ragged appearance had seen this man before. He seemed to be a teacher in the school and he often taught classes in the East Teaching Building.
He smiled and said, "Hello."
The other party didn't answer him or express anything else. He remained lying on the corridor staring at him.
The man collecting rags was so stunned by the teacher that he raised his hand and flashed the key in his hand: "I'm here to collect old books and newspapers. I've already registered them at the school."
The teacher still stared at him without saying a word, his face expressionless.
The smile on the man collecting rags froze. He felt that the other party not only misunderstood, but was also particularly angry. However, it may be because of the teacher's quality that the other party kept suppressing this anger in his heart.
"No, I need to explain it clearly to this teacher."
The man collecting rags thought to himself, leaving the cart outside the warehouse, and ran to the second floor cautiously, as if he was afraid of disturbing the students who were in class.
In fact, he knew that the classrooms on this floor were empty at the moment.
Soon after arriving on the second floor, the man collecting the rags looked up and was startled. He found another female teacher standing in the corridor on the second floor.
The female teacher was wearing a suit, a white shirt and a knee-length professional skirt. She was holding a folder in both hands and standing at the stairs of the second floor with her head lowered, facing the direction of the first floor.
This scene made the man collecting rags a little confused. He didn't know if the other person stopped him here to prevent him from going up, or for some other reason.
"This teacher..."
The man opened his mouth and found that the female teacher didn't look at him at all, but her eyes were blank, staring directly at his feet.
It seems like he is in a daze!
"what happened?"
The man stood there and looked in the direction where the male teacher was lying on the guardrail of the corridor just now, and found that the teacher was still lying there. He clearly saw him coming up, but he didn't even move his body.
"None of them seemed to be moving."
The man collecting rags had speculations in his mind.
He stopped talking, but the fear in his heart emerged involuntarily at this moment. These teachers neither spoke nor moved, as if they were frozen.
The whole scene was deathly silent. The man collecting the rags had his heart pounding and the hair on his body stood on end. He had no courage to go forward.
But after making this guess, he raised his head and stood on the second floor, looking toward the stairs on the third floor.
As far as I could see, I saw dozens of people standing on the third floor near the stairwell. Not only that, there were many people standing there on the third floor stairwell, all of them silent, as if they had turned into standing dead people.
Most of these people were wearing school uniforms, and they were all students!
No wonder there is no one in the classroom? For some unknown reason, these students didn't even attend class. They all stood in the corridors and corridors upstairs.
Moreover, the way they stood was extremely weird. Even though there were many people, it seemed crowded, but each of them stood in a posture trying to avoid the people around them. Their bodies were twisted, their heads were lowered, and they didn't look at the people nearby.
"Mom!"
The man collecting the rags screamed, turned around and ran away. After rolling down the stairs, he didn't even want the trolley.
However, he did not run away directly from the east side door. Instead, he rushed towards the school gate. He wanted to tell the security guards there that the people in this school had become abnormal, especially those children!
But as he ran towards the main entrance of the school, the man collecting rags found that from time to time he could see a person standing still on the road. His appearance was no different from the people in the building. They were all silent and their heads were lowered.
"Damn it, ghost! Monster! The corpse has transformed..."
As he was running, the man collecting rags suddenly began to slow down, because at this moment he saw a strange man sitting on the branch of one of the trees in a small forest on the roadside.
The man did not lower his head, but looked at himself silently, his head slowly turning as he ran.
The man collecting the rags also noticed that not far from the strange man on the tree, there was another young man in black standing. This man maintained the same posture as the others, and there was a crooked wooden sculpture at his feet. .
The wood carving seemed to look somewhat similar to the man on the tree.
At this moment, the man collecting rags had stopped completely. His fear gradually disappeared, and a painful feeling of helplessness emerged from his heart. Uncontrollable emotions such as loneliness, coldness, desolation, and pain were overwhelming. He drowned with a crash.
He lowered his head and stood silently.
…
Outside the school, there were several black security vehicles parked at the moment. In one of the command vehicles, a middle-aged special operator stared at the surveillance footage coming from the school with a surprised expression.
"How...how did this person...enter the school?"
"Still checking. Some of the surveillance cameras in the school are broken, but all entrances and exits are locked. The school security can guarantee that." A young man next to him replied.
"Team Leader Wang." At this time, the door of the command car opened, and a police officer said outside: "The man sent by the special headquarters is here."
"Hmm, let Teacher Shen come in quickly!" Team Leader Wang said immediately.
He knows very well who the person sent by the headquarters is. Now he has contained and eliminated several very difficult anomalies solely by relying on his wood carvings. He has no worries at all. This is all the credit of Teacher Shen.
In the local special team, it can be said that Shen Xing has been deified internally. Legend has it that he is an anomaly in his own right, an anomaly that can transform his own characteristics into wood carvings, and then allow the wood carvings to absorb other anomalies.
Of course, these are all lies, and Team Leader Wang doesn’t believe them.
If Shen Xing was abnormal, he would not be able to pass the special headquarters level, and it would be impossible to give Teacher Shen such a high title.
"He didn't come over. He went directly into the school." The police officer who seemed to have a minor official title said.
"What?" Team Leader Wang was startled, rushed out of the command vehicle, and looked towards the school entrance.
I saw a young man had already entered the school gate, with a gentle smile on his face. He was turning back and nodding to the special coordinator and the sheriff who opened the door for him, and then walked inside.
Team Leader Wang's face suddenly turned pale. He rushed to the door in three steps and two steps at a time, shouting loudly.
"How did he go in directly?! Who opened the door for him?"
While yelling, he rushed towards the door, "The school is in crisis right now. You don't have any idea, don't you know?"
He just roared at the special agent and the sheriff.
Although Team Leader Wang respects Shen Xing in his heart, he knows better that the dangers in the school cannot be entered casually by a person with special abilities who can carve wood carvings.
The initial estimate of the anomaly inside should be above super level.
Shen Xing had told the special headquarters at the beginning that if an abnormality of roughly super level was discovered in the local area, he must be notified specifically. He was very interested.
So according to the procedure, Team Leader Wang reported it.
The strange and lonely man in the school had been fully captured by the surveillance camera, so they sent the video data of the lonely man to Shen Xing to give Shen Xing time to carve the man's appearance in advance.
It wasn't until they discovered that the wooden sculpture couldn't get close to the man that they sensed something was wrong and reassessed the level of the lonely man.
But the problem now is that no one can really get close to this lonely man. The other person is extremely sensitive to strangers, and he himself will never touch unfamiliar things, which makes it impossible for the wood sculpture to touch this anomaly.
Originally, the special team was going to use the original method, which was to use the Monroe suit to see if it could be killed directly, but now the school is full of people, including teachers and a large number of students, who have been trapped in the school for the third day.
Moreover, the lonely man's whereabouts are very strange, and his exact location cannot be located.
Under normal circumstances, these teachers and classmates trapped in the school would have definitely begun to collapse, but because they were emotionally controlled by lonely people, their whole bodies were numb and their body functions were running slowly, but they had not yet appeared. Dehydration conditions.
According to the conventional handling method, when the Monroe suit cannot be used, special operators with a high degree of electrostatic fusion can only be asked to take action. However, because Shen Xing explained it in advance, the headquarters directly sent him over.
Team Leader Wang's roar and anger are not unreasonable. According to current opinions, anyone who has come into contact with that withdrawn man, whether it is eye contact, physical contact, or just within a certain range around this man, , the final result will be assimilation, and no rescue method can be found for the time being, because there is a certain chance that people close to him will also be infected immediately and become withdrawn and static.
So far, they have "lost" five special operators. They are all on campus at the moment, either standing alone or with their bodies twisted among the students. There are also three special operators who are outside the monitoring range. , I haven’t found any place where I am “isolated” yet.
The two people who were yelled at by Team Leader Wang seemed very aggrieved at the moment. The special coordinator said: "Team Leader, he just showed the red heart certificate. I can only..."
"You won't wait for me to come over before letting you go?" Team Leader Wang was still furious.
He knew very well that Shen Xing's red heart certificate was of a very high level, higher than his own. If compared by level, it might have reached the level of a senior researcher at the institute.
In other words, special operators of this level can freely enter and exit some abnormal places that even they cannot detect.
"Open the door!" Team leader Wang was silent for a moment and scolded.
The special coordinator looked confused.
"Open the door, I want to go in!" Team Leader Wang repeated with emphasis.
"Team leader, don't!"
"Farewell, sister, if Teacher Shen loses half of his hair in there, the headquarters will definitely question me about Kunzhou!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Team Leader Wang suddenly realized that with the importance the headquarters attached to Shen Xing, it was impossible to let him enter such a dangerous place in the school alone, so there must be some information that he didn't know.
He quickly looked around and told the special coordinator: "Go and look around here to see if anyone else has followed Teacher Shen."
"Yes." The special coordinator nodded and said, "Teacher Shen just said that there is a special task force following him. It does not have his consent at the moment, so it is not close to here."
"No." Team Leader Wang shook his head: "The headquarters' protection plan is definitely not that simple. Open the door, I want to go in and protect Teacher Shen!"
This time, the special coordinator didn't dare to say anything more and opened the door directly. Team leader Wang looked strong, like a nimble monkey, ducked into the school gate, and ran straight in the direction where Shen Xing entered.
After running for a moment and not seeing Shen Xing, Team Leader Wang took out the alien-killing pistol, held it in his palm, and looked at the surrounding environment alertly.
There are several flower beds along the road on campus, filled with flowers and fragrant fragrance. There are several assimilated people standing there, which makes Team Leader Wang afraid to go there rashly.
After careful observation, he found no sign of Shen Xing. He walked forward for a while and then saw a small forest.
The man collecting rags in the video just now stood in the middle of the road, motionless and with his head lowered.
In the small woods next to it, the trees are not very dense, and two men can be seen sparsely there. One is like the man collecting rags, standing alone and silent.
This was the one of them who had entered the campus before and prepared to use a wooden sculpture to contain the abnormal special agent.
At this moment, another man was squatting next to the special coordinator, picking up the wooden sculpture that fell on the ground, and at the same time looking up at an empty branch not far away that was shaking slightly.
"Teacher Shen, Teacher Shen, I am Wang Yun, the leader of the Kunzhou Chuanping special team!"
Team leader Wang ran toward Shen Xing and introduced himself loudly.
However, before he could run a few steps, after approaching Shen Xing for a certain distance, he saw Shen Xing suddenly raise his hand to stop him.
At the same time, a feeling of dizziness came. Team Leader Wang staggered, stood firm, and subconsciously took a few steps back until the dizziness disappeared.
Shen Xing's words came: "Don't come here. This person who is infected with loneliness has a lot of indiscriminate mental shock."
After finishing speaking, Shen Xing pointed to where the man collecting rags was standing: "And that man doesn't have any mental shock waves on his body."
