"Xiao Yi." Jiang Cheng had been brewing emotions all the way. Finally, after seeing Yuan Xiaoyi waiting at his old place, the accumulated emotions were released instantly.
After Yuan Xiaoyi saw Jiang Cheng, her originally dim eyes lit up, "Senior, you are finally here!"
Jiang Cheng's eyes were red and his voice was choked with sobs, "I'm sorry, I couldn't rescue Xiaohui. It's all my fault..."
Hearing this, Yuan Xiaoyi swayed a little, as if she could not stand firmly. Jiang Cheng grabbed her waist to prevent her from falling.
A few seconds later, tears burst into Yuan Xiaoyi's eyes, "Xiaohui...she also..."
It seemed that this time both parties felt that the relationship was already in place, so they didn't push too much and happily entered the next step.
"Senior." Yuan Xiaoyi looked at Jiang Cheng with pitiful eyes and her voice trembled slightly, "I saw Xiao Yu last night."
Little words...
Jiang Cheng quickly searched his mind for information about the missing girl, which was related to the sculpture. In the warehouse of the activity center, they had found a clay sculpture knife.
"What did Xiaoyu say?" Jiang Cheng asked patiently.
Yuan Xiaoyi recalled: "Xiaoyu said that she was alone in the sculpture hall. It was very dark inside and she couldn't get out. All the doors had disappeared. They were either locked or disappeared!"
"Where there was a door, everything turned into a wall!"
"She also said that there were many...many strange statues inside, which she had never seen before, and she was obviously the only one in the sculpture hall, but she...but she could hear something behind her. There were footsteps and some rustling sounds, as if..." Yuan Xiaoyi changed her tone, looked at Jiang Cheng and said, "There is something crawling on the ground!"
"When she turned around, the strange sounds disappeared again."
"Xiaoyu said she was driven crazy, but she couldn't help it. She didn't dare to speak out, let alone make too much noise. She could only hide and find a place to hide..."
"Hide somewhere where no one can find her."
"But she also said that although her hiding place is safe, she can't hold on for long. If time goes by, she will die. So, senior, please, you must rescue her! Xiaoyu is my best I’m my friend!” If you didn’t know the details of “Yuan Xiaoyi”, it would be easy to be deceived by her acting skills.
After so many years in the world, I can count on my fingers those who have acting skills that rival my own.
This heart-corrupting demon is considered one.
Jiang Cheng held Yuan Xiaoyi's face and gently stroked her cheek with his thumb, "Xiao Yi, I promise you, I will do my best."
"Yes." Yuan Xiaoyi nodded, and then began to educate Jiang Cheng about the background knowledge of this mission.
After thinking for a moment, Yuan Xiaoyi recalled: "Senior, the sculpture hall is a very evil place. I heard that something happened during the construction. One worker had his leg broken, and another one had his safety rope broken. From high He fell down and broke his head."
"The school almost got involved in a lawsuit because of the dispute with the construction team."
"Anyway, as soon as the construction started, we encountered all kinds of things. Finally, I heard that we were looking for someone to look at it, and they said it was a problem with the land."
"This was a mass grave a long time ago, and there were death row prisoners buried underneath." Yuan Xiaoyi suddenly lowered her voice and said mysteriously.
Jiang Cheng also shook a few times in cooperation, showing a little fear on his face.
"Later, the drawings were changed according to what others said, and then the art center was built." At this point, Yuan Xiaoyi seemed to suddenly think of something, and immediately explained: "Senior, the sculpture hall is inside the art center, occupying an area of It’s a lot of space.”
"Some people say that if you look down from a high place, the entire art center is in the shape of a trigram. As for whether that is true, I'm not sure."
"That's right." Jiang Cheng nodded, then looked at Yuan Xiaoyi and said softly: "Xiao Yi, there should be rumors about this in the school, right?"
"Yes, senior." Yuan Xiaoyi appeared a little nervous. She wrung her hands together and said with a pale face: "There was an incident there, and it was very violent at the time."
"Yes... I'm a newly hired intern teacher, majoring in sculpture. Since I'm a newcomer, I just want to work harder and try to stay."
"At that time, there happened to be an exhibition of sculpture works in the sculpture hall. There were many people and it was chaotic during the day, so he stayed alone every night to watch it and study in peace."
"This is not allowed in name, but the security guard in charge of the night shift is a nice guy. Seeing that he is a young man from the countryside and studies hard, I didn't stop him, but told him that he must leave before 9 p.m. "
"Because every 6 p.m., the door of the art center will be locked from the inside, and no one is allowed to spend the night here except the personnel on duty left by the security department."
"This is the school's rule."
"So the security guard told the teacher that after watching the exhibition, he would come to the security room on the first floor to find him, and then he would open the door and let him leave."
"It went on like this for a few days, and it was always like this, until one day, the security guard fell asleep while on duty. When he woke up, he found that it was already late at night."
"He felt a little strange, because normally, this male teacher should have come to him a long time ago. Why today..."
"He took a flashlight, put on his coat, and walked toward the sculpture hall in silence. When he arrived at the sculpture hall, he found that the door outside was ajar and the lights were turned off."
"Push the door open and look in from the outside. It's very dark inside."
"The security guard called the male teacher's name several times, but when he didn't hear a response, he thought the male teacher had left. Seeing that he was asleep, he didn't say hello to me."
"He didn't take it seriously at first. He just woke up and felt dizzy, so he closed the door of the sculpture hall, wrapped himself tightly in clothes, and walked back, preparing to go back to the security room to continue sleeping."
"But not long after he walked out, a gust of wind blew in the corridor, making him shiver and making his mind clearer."
"Slowly, he realized something was wrong. The door of the art center was locked from the inside, and the key was in his hand. How did the male teacher leave?"
"Just then, he heard a strange noise."
"The sound is very small and rustling. If the surrounding environment is not very quiet, it may be ignored."
"I don't know why, but this burst of sound instinctively made his scalp numb."
"He bravely turned around, followed the sound step by step, and found that the sound was actually coming from the sculpture hall, which he had closed the door with his own hands."
"Through the door, the sound became clearer and clearer, as if there was something like a mouse scratching on the board."
"Or..." Yuan Xiaoyi paused and whispered: "There is something crawling on the ground."
