The person who shouted that was none other than the woman with the badge of the teaching building administrator that Lin Qiye had just seen.
She stood breathlessly at the stairs on the sixth floor. The plastic bag had been scratched somewhere and had a big hole in it. Several boxes of chalk fell to the ground and rolled down the stairs, making a slight clattering sound.
The light golden flame in Lin Qiye's eyes gradually faded away. He frowned and looked at the woman. Just as he was about to ask something, the latter gritted her teeth, turned around and ran downstairs!
Is she related to those ghosts just now?
This thought flashed through Lin Qiye's mind, and he naturally would not let this suspicious woman go. His figure turned into a dark streak and disappeared on the spot.
The woman ran rapidly along the stairs. Just when she reached the third floor, the darkness at the edge of the stairs surged out like a wave. Her pupils contracted slightly, and before she could even scream, she was swallowed up in an instant.
The entire teaching building fell into silence again.
Until this moment, Lu Menglei, who was hiding beside Cao Yuan with a pale face, finally slowly opened her eyes, but the classroom was empty at this moment, and the flashing lights seemed like an illusion that never existed.
"Brother Cao Yuan...what happened just now?"
"It's nothing. The light spot we saw outside the door just now should be the shadow outside reflected by the glass. There is nothing inside after opening the door." Cao Yuan naturally couldn't tell her about the bizarre experience just now, so he made up an excuse and said.
"Reflected shadow?" Lu Menglei recalled carefully, "But... I seemed to feel a flash of light in front of me, and a woman's voice?"
"A car was driving on the opposite road, so of course it would light up, and the sound came from outside." Cao Yuan held her hand and whispered softly, "There are not so many monsters in this world, just like what we just saw, we are scaring ourselves."
"But the reflection on the glass just now... really looks like someone is reading a book inside." Lu Menglei took a while to accept the fact in front of her and couldn't help but speak.
Cao Yuan walked into the classroom and searched for a while, and soon found a bag under a desk:
"Is this it?"
"Yes, that's it!"
"Good, we found it. Let's go."
Lu Menglei looked around with some fear, followed Cao Yuan out of the teaching building, and only when she was back outside did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, as if she realized something, she quickly pulled her hand away from Cao Yuan, looking a little embarrassed.
"Junior brother Cao Yuan... I was too nervous just now, so..."
"It's okay." Cao Yuan smiled gentlemanly. Although this expression was quite inappropriate on his face, it made Lu Menglei feel very safe at the moment. "Let's go. I'll take you back."
Lu Menglei naturally would not refuse, and the two of them followed the dim street lights and gradually disappeared at the end of the road.
…
The darkness slowly faded away behind the teaching building. The woman was like a drowning person who had finally climbed ashore, half-kneeling on the spot and greedily breathing in the air.
Under the dim moonlight, a man's figure emerged from the darkness. Lin Qiye carefully looked at the young woman, his eyes lingering on her work badge for a moment:
"Jiang Zhihua...is this your name?"
The woman recovered her breath and stared at Lin Qiye, her eyes full of vigilance, "Who are you? What do you want to do by sneaking into our school?!"
“I’m a student here.”
"You're lying." Jiang Zhihua stared at him and said coldly, "Which student has such scary eyes and would tie me up here for no reason?
Which department are you from? The natural science department? Or the psychic department? "
"No, the philosophy department."
“…”
The moment Lin Qiye took out his student ID, Jiang Zhihua was obviously stunned.
"You...are you really a student of Shangjing University?" Jiang Zhihua frowned, "I thought you were a member of the Believers like those people..."
Hearing the word "believer", Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes.
"What if the dark night finally comes?"
"If what?"
"……nothing."
Not someone from the Night’s Watch… but knows about [The Believer]?
"She is indeed the comprehensive building administrator of Shangjing University. I have found her information in the internal system." Jiang Er's voice echoed in Lin Qiye's Bluetooth headset. At the back door of the teaching building, An Qingyu was walking towards here in a wheelchair.
"Jiang Zhihua, 26 years old, once studied for her undergraduate degree at Shanghai University, but later she dropped out. But somehow, she came back to work as the administrator of the complex building. It has been four or five years now."
In modern society, almost no one can escape Jiang Er's search. In just a few seconds, Jiang Zhihua's files were completely stripped by her.
After listening to Jiang Er's introduction, Lin Qiye asked in a deep voice: "Where did you hear the name [Believer]?"
"Five years ago, a group of people came to me and asked me to join them... They called themselves [Believers], but I didn't agree, so they kept chasing me. It took me more than half a month to get rid of them." Jiang Zhihua hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.
"Let you join them? You also have the Forbidden Ruins?"
"Forbidden Ruins?" Jiang Zhihua didn't seem to understand the name. "You mean, superpowers like yours?"
"right."
"I have... but it's far from what you have." Jiang Zhihua shook his head, "I can communicate with some things and simply control their actions."
"thing?"
"For example... a residual soul."
An Qingyu blinked and asked tentatively: "Can you capture souls?"
"almost……"
At this point, Lin Qiye had basically guessed what had happened. This Jiang Zhihua should be the owner of the Forbidden Ruins who had not been discovered by the Night Watch. Five years ago, when the [Believers] were still there, she had been tried to win them over, but she did not join. Instead, she had been living in society as an ordinary person.
Lin Qiye spoke thoughtfully, "So, that classroom 609 and the former campus legend were all created by you?"
"...It has something to do with me." Jiang Zhihua looked around anxiously, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Do you know how much trouble you just caused? I finally let them move within the barrier of the classroom, but you broke my barrier with a glare...
Now those kids have all fled into the school, and it will take a long time to find them back... If they cause any trouble, Shangjing University will be in complete chaos."
Lin Qiye and An Qingyu looked at each other, and the former took the initiative to speak to comfort him:
"Don't worry, we will catch up with those escaped souls. Tell me first, what is going on?"
