Staying together would have made it easier to give away their whereabouts, so the five of them eventually split up. However, Cheng Shuang and Liao Yuewei revealed their destinations to each other and agreed to leave a signal at a certain location to indicate whether it was safe to go there.

After all, this private school is huge. In addition to the playground, which is as big as a football field, the signs also clearly indicate that there is an indoor sports hall, a music hall, a racecourse and an astronomical observatory, located three kilometers away from the teaching buildings, covering almost half a mountain.

A total of ten teaching buildings divide the area into a front plaza and a back plaza.

The square in front has a great atmosphere with its fountain and white doves, so many students study and chat nearby.

Cheng Shuang didn't want to choose a place with many students. Although a large number of people could hide her small stature in the crowd, there would also be more elite students.

Ordinary students won't hunt down the representatives, but they can provide clues to the elites.

So the little girl specifically chose a small alley and went inside.

On the pebbly path, tender flower buds sprouted from wild grass. Looking at this vibrant scene, Cheng Shuang felt uneasy.

Behind the alley are the classrooms for specialized courses, separated from the teaching building by a road. They are more like small venues than classrooms for specialized courses.

The art museum closest to Cheng Shuang is a uniquely designed independent building. Its silver-white paint and geometric shape make it stand out among all the venues.

Just a kilometer away are science and technology museums, libraries, musical instrument halls, dance studios, and vocal music classrooms.

The little girl breathed a sigh of relief; the more classrooms there were and the more dispersed they were, the lower the chance of being caught.

After thinking about it, she decided to go to the art museum to make further plans.

Cheng Shuang first observed the road leading to the venue. There were gray-white marks left by car wheels on the asphalt road, which meant that in order to get to the various venues during class time, one had to take the campus vehicle.

The little girl didn't see any cars parked on the side of the road, nor was there anyone else.

She quickly crossed the road and arrived in front of the silver-white art museum, carefully hiding behind the 3D signboard before quietly looking at the museum's main entrance behind her.

The door was open, so it was impossible to tell whether there were any students inside.

Cheng Shuang originally wanted to send Sang Sang Guai to investigate, but the first floor of the art museum was decorated mainly in white, clean and easy to see. If Sang Sang Guai went in, he would be walking into a trap.

How about choosing another venue?

She hesitated, but soon, two vehicles resembling sightseeing buses slowly drove up, emitting a car horn warning sound.

One bus stopped at the Science and Technology Museum, and another at the Musical Instruments Hall. Many students got off the buses and entered the two venues.

The little girl pouted; if it weren't for the slightly distant location, the science museum would have been her best choice.

Art museums inevitably have plaster statues, and just thinking about what those statues look like makes her feel scared. Moreover, things with eyes might be natural surveillance devices for ghosts and monsters.

The library was not bad; at least she had some experience adventuring in a library. Unfortunately, the two cars were parked on the side of the road and showed no sign of leaving, probably waiting for the students to finish class.

The drivers in security uniforms leaned against the hoods of their cars, smoking and chatting. No one could guarantee that they wouldn't spot her as she headed towards the stadium and offer directions to the elite students.

Without further hesitation, Cheng Shuang went straight into the art museum.

She cautiously peered around the doorway and observed the surroundings before finally relaxing a little.

At least on this empty first floor, there was no one in sight. Paintings were displayed on the walls, most of them students' masterpieces.

The latest outstanding painting is inscribed with the name of Ma Yu, a student from Class 10, the "Genius Class of 1978".

Ma Yu's painting depicts misty mountains, with white, pointed buildings faintly visible under the orange sun, obscured by lush greenery.

A very beautiful and evocative painting – titled "Morning Light over Yunlin Mountain".

Cheng Shuang subconsciously began to look for similar mountain landscape paintings. Sure enough, there were several paintings in the museum depicting the scenery of Yunlin Mountain in all four seasons, and two of them featured this white pointed building.

If nothing unexpected happens.

The summit of Yunlin Mountain is actually the former site of a private girls' college.

The orphanage is located on the mountainside of Yunlin Mountain.

The private school is located at the foot of the mountain and occupies a larger area.

This is an absolutely magical mountain, inhabited by a whole host of ghosts and monsters...

The young girl rarely complained; she stiffened her neck and looked away from the painting with resentment. She had only stayed at the girls' college for a short time, and the only places she hadn't seen were the teachers' dormitory and the church.

The teachers' dormitory doesn't seem to be far from the restaurant. When the author was exploring, he found a row of courtyard houses with small gardens behind the restaurant.

Principal Su Qing has a special attachment to the school, so it is not surprising that she chose to live on the top floor of the teaching building. This reflects both her desire to control the entire school and her deep affection for it.

But female teachers are different; after class, they certainly hope to have a better leisure environment.

It's not hard to understand why a row of small courtyard houses would be built as teachers' dormitories as a welfare benefit.

Then that white building with the pointed roof must be a church.

Cheng Shuang immediately decided to go to the church to take a look.

Having withstood nearly a century of vicissitudes, it still stands tall. Perhaps it has left behind some halo of time, wanting to tell some untold stories.

She quickly examined all the paintings related to mountains and fields again, and finally found a painting of a forest path. It should be a path in Yunlin Mountain at sunset. Although it is not as unobstructed as a wide road, it winds its way up and you can vaguely see the scenery at the top of the mountain.

The little girl rubbed her hands together, took out her phone, and took a picture of the painting to avoid getting lost.

Without any comparison, just looking at the trees, unless she's a regular who knows this path well, she would definitely get lost.

Just as Cheng Shuang cautiously stepped out of the library, alarm bells rang loudly.

This went too smoothly!

Could it be that this is how the Land of Death is designed? The closer you get to the Gate of Reincarnation, the more subdued the ghosts become?

She bit her lip and cautiously glanced back before leaving; the art museum was completely calm.

The little girl scratched her head, took a step out... Huh! She couldn't get out, another transparent barrier?

Cheng Shuang, inexplicably relieved, carefully withdrew her foot and tapped the barrier in front of her—a barrier that, though empty, responded with a solid, unyielding sound. That's more like it! If people came in quietly and left quietly, it wouldn't be a place of death!

Cheng Shuang felt that her thoughts were a bit strange... but she couldn't quite put her finger on why...

She scratched her head, looked around the art museum, trying to guess where the right exit was, but the sound of car horns inevitably filled her ears.

get out of class is over already?

No way?

She stood on tiptoe, peering out the window. There was no third car on the road; instead, the cars parked along the side of the road started moving again, filled with students. And the cars were slowly approaching in the direction of the art museum.
