Chapter 11
"It seems that the purpose of locking this building is not to prevent anyone from entering, but to prevent something from leaving."
Chu Zhongyuan narrowed his eyes.
It’s interesting. It’s so interesting that such a strange secret is hidden in the campus where I have lived for more than a year.
Ever since he moved out of his grandmother's house as a child, he has never encountered such an "interesting" situation. The feeling of crisis and secrets coexisting is really nostalgic, and it makes him want to explore.
Chu Zhongyuan thought with some regret.
"That seems to be the case..."
When Gu Qingming heard Chu Zhongyuan speak, he came over and together with Chu Zhongyuan, used the light of their mobile phones to shine on the lock of the balcony door, fearing that they would miss any clues.
Indeed, if the purpose was to prevent people from entering, a layer of rusty metal locks and school rules would be enough to stop these ordinary high school students who are powerless. Why would they need to tie the door again with a thick iron chain?
"I'll go see if all the doors that can be entered in the entire building are like this."
As soon as Gu Qingming turned around, Chu Zhongyuan seemed to sense something. He turned over quickly and moved the backpack filled with heavy textbooks on his back to the front as a shield.
“Chu Zhongyuan!”
Gu Qingming had already stepped half a foot out of the balcony, and a long green breeze appeared around him, ready to support his body.
He heard a voice behind him and turned around, but was startled by the scene in front of him.
A huge, strange creature that was several times the size of a normal mouse appeared at some point and charged straight at Chu Zhongyuan. In its blood-red eyes, there was an undisguised killing intent.
The shape was almost identical to the black shadow he saw at the entrance of the dormitory building last night.
Thanks to Chu Zhongyuan's quick reaction, he quickly moved the backpack behind him to the front, and the heavy book was stuck in the giant rat's mouth, but he also fell to the ground and was crushed by the huge rat.
The mouse had apparently undergone some kind of mutation for unknown reasons. Its upper and lower incisors in its mouth were extremely sharp and had already scratched the outer layer of Chu Zhongyuan's wear-resistant nylon schoolbag, revealing the layers of test papers and textbooks stacked inside.
The squeaking sound was fragmented and vague, and at first glance it did sound a bit like human laughter. It seemed that this was the source of the strange story.
However... if he were bitten by this thing, not to mention the bacteria in the rat's mouth, the wound itself would cause Chu Zhongyuan to stay in the hospital for several months.
Gu Qingming hurried down from the balcony and wanted to rush over to help. There was nothing useful among the sundries on the balcony. There were only a few scattered wooden boards that could be used as weapons. Gu Qingming carefully approached the man and the beast in a stalemate with the wooden boards, and used force to hit the mouse that was biting Chu Zhongyuan's schoolbag with the wooden boards, but it had little effect.
The mouse seemed to feel no pain and was only concerned with biting Chu Zhongyuan.
In an instant, Chu Zhongyuan remembered what his grandmother told him when he was a child living at her house.
"Mice rely on their sense of smell. If their sense of smell is affected in the slightest, they will immediately avoid you. They are very alert and difficult to deal with."
Chu Zhongyuan reacted.
"Gu Qingming! Ordinary mice have a keen sense of smell, and this one should be no exception. Quickly find a pungent smell to disrupt its state!"
Chu Zhongyuan changed the angle of his schoolbag to ensure that the giant rat would not bite him immediately, while shouting to Gu Qingming.
Pungent smell...
Gu Qingming reacted immediately, threw down the wooden board in his hand, took out the bottle of Fengyoujing that Chu Zhongyuan had given him before he used his supernatural power, unscrewed the lid, and shouted:
"I threw it! You hold your breath!"
Without Gu Qingming's reminder, Chu Zhongyuan held his breath the moment he saw the other party take out the bottle of medicated oil.
The giant rat's teeth were stuck tightly by Chu Zhongyuan's backpack, and the green liquid of Fengyoujing fell steadily near the giant rat's nose. The rich smell bloomed in an instant. Even Gu Qingming, who was far away, felt as if a knife-like smell penetrated into his nose, and he felt so sour that he wanted to cry.
The smell is strong and punchy.
Gu Qingming felt his temples throbbing.
Chu Zhongyuan's Fengyoujing seems to be different from those on the market. Although Gu Qingming has not used it much, at least in his impression, ordinary Fengyoujing does not have such a strong lethality.
The giant rat let out a sharp scream the moment the wind oil fell. It dropped Chu Zhongyuan and jumped to the side, running around in the narrow balcony.
A deep blue fluorescent sea-like tide lit up, and Chu Zhongyuan took the opportunity to quickly pull his backpack and teleport to the balcony railing, coughing repeatedly.
Apparently, the Fengyoujing had a significant impact on him.
A method that kills one thousand enemies and injures one thousand of your own.
Gu Qingming did not let his mother down and miss the opportunity. He seized the opportunity and when the giant rat ran in front of him, he used his special power to kick it hard on the protruding spine on the back of the giant rat.
“Crack.”
There was a slight sound, as if something was cracking.
The giant rat screamed and collapsed to the ground due to a broken spine, completely losing the ability to move. Under the force, it rolled a few steps in the opposite direction of Gu Qingming, collapsed in a corner, and kept wriggling.
Chu Zhongyuan looked at Gu Qingming with horror.
"Student Xiao Ming, you, you..."
This pretty little classmate's level of violence doesn't seem to match his quiet appearance at all.
The terrifying speed that I noticed when he was running with me was not an illusion. This little classmate must be very skilled... I'm afraid he has received professional training.
Chu Zhongyuan came to a quick conclusion.
"Huh, huh - this guy's bones are abnormally brittle."
Gu Qingming explained casually.
Although in Chu Zhongyuan's opinion, that was just an attempt to cover up one's mistake.
Gu Qingming ignored him and hit the mouse on the head with a wooden board to ensure that the latter would die hard.
After a shrill scream, under the astonished gazes of Gu Qingming and Chu Zhongyuan, the giant rat's body gradually emitted thick black smoke, which was almost the same as the dormitory door that was inexplicably locked the previous night. Then it screamed and shattered into ashes, mixing with the thick dust accumulated on the second-floor balcony. Then, a wisp of black smoke drifted away.
Everything in front of them was extremely strange, but fortunately, the two of them had experienced enough worldview-shattering things in the past few days, and their psychological endurance had been trained to be extremely strong. They were not surprised for long before they returned to their normal state of mind.
"This... is indeed ash."
Gu Qingming took a few steps forward and used his cell phone to illuminate and observe carefully. If he wasn't afraid of the giant rat, or if the person who locked them outside the dormitory building and wanted to kill them had some other tricks up his sleeve, Gu Qingming would have even wanted to reach out and pinch it.
The sudden situation diverted Chu Zhongyuan's attention. He glanced around and the strange passing sound seemed to still be heard.
"Go down first. It's not safe here. We can handle one but not a few more."
"good."
Gu Qingming agreed, turned around and went back to the gate of the old building with Chu Zhongyuan.
The deep blue water and the green wind light up at the same time in this desolate and uninhabited place.
"This broken No. 1 Middle School really has something weird hidden inside."
Chu Zhongyuan muttered in a daze, but was nearly hit by the flashlight coming from not far away, and he jumped up.
"Wait, be careful, someone is coming!"
Gu Qingming pointed at the flashlight that was approaching from the corner in the distance, and a figure gradually turned from the other side of the isolation wall.
Following Gu Qingming's reminder, a voice that the two would never forget rang out.
"What are you two students doing here so late? Why don't you go back to the dormitory?"
Gu Qingming and Chu Zhongyuan looked at each other.
It’s Cao Sheng’s voice!
