I paused, then resolutely opened the door and walked out.
The sky was dark, and dark clouds had gathered again, obscuring the sunlight. With a rumble, a steady autumn rain began to fall, drifting through the bustling city.
I walked on the street in the rain, not noticing that the rain soaked my clothes.
I don't know how I got back, but when I came to my senses, I was already at Su Xiaoniu's hometown. However, Zhang Longming's mysterious disappearance, Wang Zhong and Wang Xiaofei's mysterious deaths, Zhang Shaoqi and Liao Zhiyuan's mysterious affairs, Cheng Qian's numerous suspicions...
I suddenly felt very tired and fell asleep without realizing it.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed. During this time, I have been staying at Su Xiaoniu's hometown without going out. I don't know what I am doing, or what I am avoiding... Until today, Xuanxuan bravely came to this old house to call me. She shouted twice from outside, perhaps because she was afraid that someone had died in this old house and it still had a very dark and scary feeling, so she didn't dare to come in openly.
I opened the door and went out to see her. Xuanxuan looked a little unhappy. She said, "Brother Xu Fei, what's wrong with you? Why haven't I seen you for a month?"
I scratched my scalp and smiled faintly: "I'm fine. What do you want to talk to me about?"
Xuanxuan frowned and said, "There's been another death in our school... Two more students have died under mysterious circumstances within the past month, and where they died there are two large blood-red numbers, 31... If this continues, I don't know when it will be my turn... I'm so scared, I want to drop out... But Grandpa won't agree, and Dad's not around, so I had no choice but to come find you."
A number? 31? I remember when Wang Zhong and Wang Xiaofei died at the entrance of the building, two numbers appeared on the ground, 30... What does this mean?
I comforted her and said, "Don't worry, I will get to the bottom of this matter and give you a peaceful and quiet campus life."
Before we knew it, another Saturday had arrived.
I've had enough rest this month, so today I went to the building with Xuanxuan and sent her to the 36th floor. Cheng Qian was already there, but when she saw me, she didn't react at all, as if she saw me as a passerby and just walked past.
I smiled bitterly, sent Xuanxuan to the classroom, and then started walking around the building.
I don't know why, but I somehow ended up on the 32nd floor. When I came to my senses, I was shocked and suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Perhaps it's because this month has been too quiet...
Since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it. I walked on the empty corridor on the 32nd floor. There was no one on this floor. I could only hear my own breathing and footsteps. The atmosphere was eerily quiet.
Subconsciously, I came to the door of the room that could not be opened. There was still a bloody handprint on it. There seemed to be nothing different. I couldn't hear the girl's breathing from inside. Maybe I would have to wait until night to hear it.
I was just about to leave, huh? Wait!
Why do the numbers on the bloody handprint feel a little different from the last time I saw them?
I vaguely remember that the last time I saw it, the number was 29, and now it has become 32... Has anyone been here?
Who could it be?
I tried pushing the door, but it still wouldn't open. I hurried down to the 31st floor, to the safe room, and was shocked to find that the numbers on it had also changed. I then ran to the safe room on the 30th floor, and found the numbers on it were also different!
All the numbers on the third floor have been moved!
And, what I'm most concerned about is, what do these numbers represent? Could they be... the key to the room on the 32nd floor?
The more I thought about it, the more likely it was. So, what was the correct combination? I only knew it was six digits. Which six digits could it be?
For a moment I couldn’t figure out who the other person was who had moved these numbers?
Lost in thought, I was walking up to the 32nd floor. At the corner between the 31st and 32nd floors, I bumped into someone. It was none other than Liao Zhiyuan... What was strange was that every time I ran into him, it was at the same corner. That night, and today...
I frowned and asked him why he came here. Was he beaten by Wang Zhong and Wang Xiaofei again?
Liao Zhiyuan said, "Have you become stupid after not seeing you for a month? Wang Zhong and Wang Xiaofei died over a month ago. Now there's no one to compete with me for Zhang Xuanxuan. I suddenly feel so bored."
"Really?" I said calmly, "Then what are you doing here?"
"I found that the room on the 32nd floor that cannot be opened must be opened after adjusting the correct digital password, and the place where these digital passwords are adjusted is between the 30th and 32nd floors." Liao Zhiyuan said.
I nodded and said, "It seems you think the same as me. Do you know the password?"
