Chapter 461 Mysterious Campus (2)

In front of me is a dilapidated teaching building, which seems to have been forgotten by time and looks particularly desolate.

There are fifteen people in school uniforms standing around this teaching building, but their ages are different, which makes people wonder, are they all players?

Xia Yueke looked at her school uniform curiously, and found that it was not only old and worn, but also had several loose threads.

This school uniform looks quite old, and I don't know what era it is from. Combined with this gloomy and scary school environment, there is an unexpected sense of harmony.

At this time, an old man in his sixties caught Xia Yueke's attention.

He was staring at his school uniform with a strange expression on his face. He gently stroked the school badge on his uniform with his wrinkled and calloused hands, muttering to himself:

"Strange, this place looks too much like my alma mater. But that's not right. My school was demolished a long time ago because it was haunted. How could it appear here?"

A young man beside the old man heard his words, his face turned pale as paper, and he asked in a trembling voice:

"Uncle, are you telling the truth? Then what...what should we do?" He was obviously scared to death and couldn't even speak complete sentences. He could only look around, as if something terrible was approaching quietly.

At this moment, a breeze blew slowly, rustling the surrounding trees. The sound was particularly harsh in the silent environment, making people feel creepy.

Xia Yueke listened and realized that this game was very strange, but she didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, she searched with her eyes, looking for Long Xiaoyu among the fourteen people.

But after looking around twice, there was no trace of Long Xiaoyu at all. Could it be that this game was deceiving her?

Xia Yueke cursed in her heart, but she could only take it one step at a time.

A middle-aged woman in white slowly walked over from somewhere in the teaching building, holding a pointer and a triangle ruler in her hands.

She wore square glasses and had a quirky smile on her face. "You are the new students, right? Hello, the principal asked me to show you around the teaching building. Now follow me."

Everyone looked at each other, no one dared to be the first to step forward.

Their slowness seemed to annoy the middle-aged female teacher. She didn't turn around, but her head turned 180 degrees, her mouth wide open, and her voice was completely different from before, with a bit of weirdness.

"Classmates, don't you like me? Why don't you listen to the teacher? Do you want the teacher to come and invite you personally?"

Xia Yueke felt as if her eardrums were about to be pierced by the sharp sound, causing unbearable pain. The others felt the same way. They all covered their ears, clenched their teeth, and dared not make a sound.

Finally, a girl who looked to be no more than twenty years old couldn't hold it in any longer and replied in a trembling voice, "We were just about to go. We just didn't react for a moment. We just took the bus from outside and are a little tired. I hope you can forgive us, teacher."

The middle-aged female teacher dusted herself off upon hearing this, turned her head back, and then turned back again, still with that smile on her face. "Oh! Students, I forgot, you are indeed tired. This is a school in the mountains, and we had to climb three or four mountains to get here. You are indeed tired. So, have you rested well now?"

This time no one took it lightly, but nodded and started to follow her.

Xia Yueke also followed. She deliberately walked in the middle of the crowd and a little outside to ensure that she had enough time to react and kept a certain distance from the middle-aged female teacher.

No one spoke along the way, only the clicking sound of the woman's high heels seemed particularly strange in the quiet atmosphere.

After a while, the female teacher slowly spoke, "Welcome to Hope Middle School, forgotten by time. It was founded in 1963. At that time, society was in turmoil, and a wealthy man, determined to provide education for children in the mountainous areas, invested all his wealth in building the school. Building the school was a difficult undertaking, and the buildings were constructed by the teachers and students themselves. Like the old teaching building before us, it was made of locally available materials, though worn and shabby, yet sturdy."

As soon as these words were spoken, almost everyone gasped. Someone even murmured, "No wonder I thought this school was weird! It's so run-down, so old, and some of the things I've never seen before. It's so old, how could it still exist?"

There were also a few brave young people, their eyes rolling around as if they had discovered a treasure. "Such an ancient architectural style, if we memorize it well and use it as a practical project for drawing, our teacher will definitely admire us!"

Xia Yueke actually admired them very much. They could still say such normal words in such a strange atmosphere.

If she didn't know that these were all fake and the game was deliberately done, she might have been trembling with fear. But because she knew so much, she was not so scared. She just wanted to end the game quickly and win quickly!

The most important thing is that there is no one she is familiar with among these fourteen people. Bai Jinglan, Cangwu and others are not here. There is no one to trip her up, and no one can influence her!

But where did Long Xiaoyu go? I couldn’t find him after searching for a long time. I might as well just treat it as a game.

After the female teacher said this, she stopped talking again. She heard the discussion behind her but did not respond.

A dark-skinned girl looked at them timidly and said to the people around her, "Do you feel like someone is watching us?"

The crowd's chatter suddenly died down, and everyone fell silent. The others looked around in horror, "Hey, stop talking nonsense! Maybe you're just mistaken. I don't see anyone around here."

The dark-skinned girl was also very scared. She nodded and muttered, "Yes, I must have seen it wrong, I must have felt it wrong, there is nothing."

A girl next to her quickly held her shoulders and the two of them hugged each other.

"Don't be afraid. Although there are no other students here, there is a teacher. He doesn't come out often, so he might have been looking at you new students through the window just now!"

The middle-aged female teacher responded with a smile, but none of them took her words to heart, feeling that it was just an excuse.

When she got no response, the middle-aged female teacher shrugged and said, "We have two teaching buildings here. One is new. You can usually have classes there. The old building is dilapidated and may collapse at any time, so please don't go near it."

The rules clearly state it, and even if she didn't say it, no one would be curious about the old teaching building.

Xia Yueke was still memorizing the rules. She was hiding in the crowd, holding a booklet in her hand. There were several people like her around her, both old and young.

Only a few young people were disdainful and actually threw the rule booklet around in the air as if it were a toy. It was obvious that they had not read it carefully.

"You usually have classes in the new teaching building. Our school also has a library, music room, and playground. These are all new facilities. You can go and have a look when the time comes. I have something else to do now, so the rest of the time is up to you. Please be sure to visit our school by 5 pm this afternoon! I'm busy now."

The middle-aged female teacher looked at her mechanical watch and turned away.
