Chen Chichi bent down to pick up the paper that fell on the ground and carefully looked at its contents:
Linjiang No. 5 Middle School is different from other closed management schools. Our school has an independent management system. The following are the precautions that all faculty and staff must abide by when working:
1. The water level of the man-made lake in the school is relatively deep, and it is strictly forbidden to go near the lake.

11. The above content shall not be disclosed to students or people outside the school. It is strictly prohibited to take any information out of the school. Violators shall bear the consequences at their own risk.
After the two of them finished reading, Chen Chichi let out a long sigh. She couldn't help but feel a little confused. Her mother was a teacher at the school. She had been studying here for so long, and she didn't know the existence of these rules.
But sometimes her mother would ask her to pay attention to her safety, feed her some unknown things, and warn her not to get close to the central lake.
Li Huixi was still looking for a way out. After Lin Qing disappeared, she clearly felt that the lake water was corroding her more and more seriously. In other words, her body had undergone some changes to adapt to the world.
"This is not good."
Li Huixi's inner voice also reminded her to find a way out as soon as possible.
Zhizhizhi...
The door of the school history museum was opened again, and the rotten rotating shaft made a weird scream in the dark space.
"Is it Lin Qing?"
Chen Chichi lowered his voice and asked Li Huixi's ear.
Li Huixi just shook her head and took her to hide aside. The other party was also very careful and did not make any sound of footsteps or breathing, but as he approached, a hint of alcohol was added to the already turbid air.
And it’s the kind of alcoholic smell that makes people feel uncomfortable after drinking it all year round.
Where the two of them had just turned over the information, there was a sparse sound again. The regulations seemed to be his, but at this time, Chen Chichi was holding them in his hand.
"come out……"
The man's voice sounded a little lazy, maybe he was talking like this after drinking too much.
The heartbeats of the two people in the dark began to speed up. Chen Chichi looked at the paper in his hand, feeling a burst of regret in his heart.
"If I don't kill you, come out."
He didn't seem to have any hostility, and there was even a joking tone in his voice.
Chen Chichi looked up at Li Huixi. She didn't move, and he didn't dare to move at all.
"He can speak human language, let's go."
"What reason is this?!"
Before Chen Chichi could finish complaining, he was pulled out by Li Huixi.
The man in front of him was slightly fat, with a few hairs missing from his head. He was wearing a pair of faded glasses, a tennis shirt and slacks, and smelled of alcohol.
"Uncle Jiu?"
Chen Chichi recognized the guy in front of him at a glance, but it took a while for the other person to recognize Chen Chichi's identity.
"Are you Teacher Lu's daughter?"
Seeing that Li Huixi was a little confused, Chen Chichi simply introduced:
"Our school specializes in teaching Chinese to high school students, and they drink wine like water...Uncle Jiu, Sun Yicheng."
"Hey, let's call her Teacher Sun. How did you two get here?"
Chen Chichi trusted Uncle Jiu very much and told him his experience from beginning to end.
"You killed all those larvae?"
When Teacher Sun looked at Li Huixi, his eyes suddenly changed and became serious.
But Li Huixi didn't care about his question and asked:
"who are you?"
"Didn't I just say it to you, Teacher Sun, who teaches Chinese in the second year of high school?"
Li Huixi just stared at him coldly.
Seeing that he couldn't get over it, Uncle Jiu changed his serious expression and explained:
"After Chi Chi disappeared, you looked for Lu Yi, right? After all, we are also old people in this school, and we are familiar with the situation in this ghost place, so we went down to the lake to have a look."
"See? Is it easy for you to get down and back?"
"Every time the school distributes medicine that can resist the erosion of lake water, although it is strictly limited, but after so many years, we old teachers have saved a little."
Teacher Sun was also unambiguous and handed the white pills to the two of them. In order to dispel Li Huixi's concerns, he swallowed one on the spot.
The effect of the medicine was very strong, but within a moment, Teacher Sun's body began to become blurry in front of him.
When Li Huixi and Chen Chichi saw this, they also took the pills one after another. The world in front of them gradually became brighter, and the red moon was replaced by the sun. The long-lost sunshine and fresh air.
But stomach discomfort also followed. The two of them lay on the ground and vomited wildly, and what they vomited was lake water that had a sour and rotten smell.
"Is that why you feel corrupted?"
"maybe……"
Even if she vomits until the sky is dark, Li Huixi can still stay calm by talking to her heart, but even if she pours out everything in her belly, she still feels a sense of discomfort hanging over her body.
"You said there was another one who left with Lin Qing. There should be another me in the lake..."
Chen still hasn't recovered yet.
"And they seem to have escaped from the lake..."
Chen turned his head slowly, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Teacher Sun listened on the sidelines and looked at Li Huixi with even more admiration.
Seeing that their condition had stabilized, Teacher Sun took out two masks from his pocket and handed them to them.
"Go back and tell your mother that you are safe, but don't let anyone see you on the way."
"Why?"
"Don't ask, just do it. Don't cause us any trouble, just obey."
Chen Chichi hesitated, but still put on a mask, shielded himself tightly and ran to find his mother.
Seeing Chen Chichi walking away, Li Huixi also put on a mask, and made a cold voice behind the mask:
"Are you afraid that someone will see us and regain their memory?"
"I can't say, but he can tell you..."
"who?"
"Come out……"
A man who looked like Lin Qing walked out of the darkness with a solemn look on his face.
"When did you come out?"
The other party still didn't speak.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds. After sizing up, Li Huixi spoke again:
"You are not Lin Qing."
At this time, the other party raised her eyes and slowly replied to her:
"You can call me Linz."
"Lin Qing's strange body?"
"Yes...and no."
Li Huixi looked a little unhappy and said impatiently:
"I don't like riddles."
"To be precise, I am Lin Qing's younger brother."
