☆36. San Francisco Boarding School



San Francisco Boarding School

The driver drove the car to a path away from the crowd and the avenue. Along the way, he could see many lush woods and a plain, until the car slid smoothly onto a small road with the words "Golden Gate Boulevard" written on it.

But this place is too remote and sparsely populated. At the end of the trail, there is a huge building, which can be seen more clearly as the car gets closer.

The Gothic main building has about three floors, with curved floors and a dark green hue throughout, like the blurred filter seen underwater.

Besides that, the ground was covered with lush green plants, surrounding an iron gate covered with vines. Vines were attached to the iron gate and then crawled forward like geckos, crawling away into the distance...

Jiang Kexin leaned against the glass window and saw the driver roll down the window and lean out of the glass to hold up a form. The form was compared with the camera on the iron gate. With the sound of welcome, the iron gate slowly opened outwards.

This somewhat eerie building officially appeared in front of Jiang Kexin. He felt a strong sense of displeasure. Normally, he would have run away when he encountered such displeasure. He always trusted his sixth sense.

Therefore, Jiang Kexin was even more puzzled by the protagonists in horror movies who inexplicably ignored the inner warnings and continued to move forward, and this scene always gave her a sense of déjà vu, just like the previous copy where they were committing suicide.

Jiang Kexin became more alert. While he was alert, his expression suddenly froze. He received a message from the staff, who transmitted a piece of news about the fire and the boarding school to him.

After the last clearance, Jiang Kexin knew that the scope of her collection was a case caused by a seemingly ordinary natural disaster. So when she knew that this time the collection was due to natural factors, Jiang Kexin felt a sense of relief in addition to being used to it.

Fire, Jiang Kexin frowned. Judging from the situation in the last copy, this time would probably be the same. This fire was not a real fire, which meant that it was not necessarily caused by natural factors or bad luck. There must be a deeper secret in it, and he wanted to find out the truth behind this fire, and this truth was most likely closely related to those creatures from ancient times.

However, Jiang Kexin thought of something. He remembered that this was a boarding school, which meant there were children here. He looked at the building in front of him and what he saw was no longer a dark green filter, but instead a fiery, scorching heat and the screams of children.

Does that mean all those children will die in this fire and he can only watch it happen?

But Jiang Kexin couldn't think too much about it next. The driver stopped in front of the Gothic building, got out of the car, bent down and opened the trunk. As the door opened, Jiang Kexin saw the building that seemed to be seen underwater and smelled the fishy smell of the sea, which was just like being at the seaside.

Although Jiang Kexin was disgusted in his heart, he showed nothing on his face. He got out of the car obediently. When the driver saw the well-behaved child standing on the ground, he felt a little pity for him.

Jiang Kexin followed the driver obediently. The driver took Jiang Kexin's hand and strode into the intersection with a sculpture of an unknown creature with a terrifying upper body of an octopus and the upper body of an unknown creature in front of it.

The intersection was deep and quiet. As they entered deeper, a chilling aura blew, causing both of them to shudder. Even the driver grumbled, "What kind of boarding school is this? It's like a haunted house."

Before passing by the sculpture, Jiang Kexin took a curious look at it. He always felt that this octopus was very similar to the exploration diary of the University of Michigan that he had read before. There seemed to be such a paragraph in that exploration diary, but Jiang Kexin could not remember it.

Jiang Kexin's Cthulhu Mythos appraisal results: 1d100=91/35 "Failed"

It seems that your growth still can't bring you any help. 】

When the sound of the dice rang out again, Jiang Kexin actually felt relieved. At the same time, she also roughly understood that since the appearance of the dice was related to outsiders, there was a high probability that this boarding school should have a few outsiders who did not belong to this world.

He narrowed his eyes, revealing a look of doubt and puzzlement. No matter what, he had to find out what exactly it was this time. He also had to ask what happened to Ellisted and Tana. After all, it was a copy of the previous world.

Don't look at Jiang Kexin as cold and heartless. When he can squeeze out a little for them from his heart which is almost filled with his own hobbies and responsibilities, it is enough to show that he actually recognizes them. Otherwise, Jiang Kexin would not have remembered them all the time. However, he was in danger at that time and he also reminded them, but Ellisted just didn't want to listen.

After Jiang Kexin came to her senses, she followed the driver's steps, turning left and right, and turned into a tall door from a dark corridor.

When passing through the dark corridor, Jiang Kexin felt an inexplicable gaze and sticky mucus, but when Jiang Kexin reached out to look, there was nothing.

But he always had a feeling that something was crawling on the ceiling of the dark corridor, watching them move forward step by step. He couldn't help drooling as he watched. Darkness always caused inexplicable fantasies and fears. Jiang Kexin shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

There is no harm without comparison. After going through the dark corridor, he felt that the door in front of him, although with a small light but bright, seemed quite friendly.

The faint candlelight allowed one to clearly see the shape of the door. The door looked very thick and had strange patterns carved on it. The pattern seemed to be a strange creature with the upper body of an octopus.

Jiang Kexin stared at the octopus sculpture that was as tall as herself for a while, but could not see anything from it. There was only an inexplicable fear, the deepest fear of human beings, and the octopus seemed to be coming alive...

Jiang Kexin couldn't help but take a step back, but his sudden movement almost caused him to lose his balance. At this time, a boy with short hair supported him.

He didn't mind Jiang Kexin's recklessness. Instead, he leaned over to Jiang Kexin's ear with a smile and said, "Be careful."

The breath blew against Jiang Kexin's ears. Jiang Kexin's ears have always been extremely sensitive. She couldn't help but tremble when blown like this. The boy seemed to feel it and smiled even more happily.

Jiang Kexin stood up quickly. He thanked her shyly, then raised his head to look at the boy in front of him. The boy looked very cute, like a little angel.

He tilted his head. At first glance, his blue eyes and black hair looked exactly like his own. Then he extended his hand: "Hello, I'm Everton. It looks like we should be classmates from now on."

Jiang Kexin extended her hand and shook it back: "I'm Jiang Kexin, nice to meet you."

The two men shook hands. For some reason, Jiang Kexin clearly felt that his hand seemed to be gently stroked by the harmless child in front of him like a snake. For a moment, Jiang Kexin felt like he had become some kind of prey, but after a moment he no longer had that feeling.

Jiang Kexin couldn't help but shake his head. He sneered at himself for making a fuss. He really didn't know what he was thinking. This child was so pitiful. He was just a child and he would die in the fire. Yet he was still making such malicious speculations.

"Everton, why are you here? Come with us quickly." When Jiang Kexin was feeling guilty, three people dressed in government officials' uniforms strode over. They dragged Everton into the gate that the driver had entered before.

Before leaving, Everton saw the little boy with his head down, knowing nothing, and a hint of interest flashed across his eyes. He was so cute, his lamb looked like this, so adorable, it was worth his planning, and the first bite of the lamb belonged to him, his... he wanted more.

Everton thought so but it was not visible on his face. He turned away his eyes and let those stupid government officials pull him over in a submissive manner.

Jiang Kexin was so lost in her own thoughts that she naturally didn't notice the fear on the faces of those government officials. This was a very abnormal fear. Several adult officials actually had this kind of fear towards a child. This child must have done something that scared the adults.

Jiang Kexin waited idly for about an hour. Finally, the driver called her name. Jiang Kexin pushed open the door nervously.

When the door was opened, what came into view was a huge chandelier and countless burning candles. The candles flickered from time to time, illuminating the fish-shaped sculptures next to them. The fish-shaped sculptures had no sense of art but were full of chaos and confusion, like a mixture of a deer head and chicken feet, weird.

Jiang Kexin frowned. He had a hunch that the fire was definitely related to the senior management or the principal, and the clues he wanted to investigate were probably here, because something unreasonable was happening right in front of him.

Thinking of the fire, thinking of the child who just smiled at me and then was going to die here.

Jiang Kexin felt a sense of responsibility. He stepped forward firmly on the carpet and walked step by step to the driver's side. Although the dead child could not be brought back to life, he could expose the scandal here and the monster that caused the fire in this copy. He was the chosen one and had the right to make the truth public, and this did not conflict with clearing the level.

Ruining a child's future life is the most excessive thing. Jiang Kexin thought of himself and looked down at his clothes.

The driver bent down and looked at Jiang Kexin's inexplicably serious face, touched her head with amusement, and then pushed open the small black door. The door was very small and only suitable for a twelve-year-old child, while adults could only get in by bending over.

Jiang Kexin didn't understand why the door was connected to the door inside and why there were always complicated patterns on it and why it was built so short, but he was sure that these were related to the secret of the fire. Since he really couldn't find anything now, Jiang Kexin had to write down these unreasonable things. As the unreasonable things became more and more, he thought he might need a diary.

At the driver's nod and hint, Jiang Kexin pushed open the small door. The first thing she smelled was a strong scent of perfume, which was so strong that it made Jiang Kexin feel dizzy and chest tightness.

"The most compassionate aspect of the world, in my opinion, is the inability of human beings to relate the contents of their thoughts to one another. We inhabit a placid island of ignorance in the midst of a vast, cold, unforgiving universe filled with horrors beyond our comprehension." - Cthulhu Mythos
