Gu Huaiwei pulled out the photo.
The photo shows Xiaoyu and her deskmate.
The shooting location was an empty classroom. Two girls were arm in arm, showing sunny smiles to the camera and making "yeah" gestures generously. At the door of the back door of the classroom, the light was dim and a foot could be seen vaguely.
Someone is peeping at the back door of the classroom.
Xiaoyu's deskmate is easy to identify. He has short hair and long side bangs that cover half of his face. You can vaguely see the brown-red birthmark on his face.
Gu Huaiwei pointed her index finger at the girl with the birthmark in the photo and asked Xiaoyu, "Is this girl in this instance?"
Xiaoyu nodded cooperatively.
"Where?"
Xiaoyu grinned, closed her eyes that were pierced by nails, and turned her face towards the locker.
Then, she wrapped her hair around her shoes and slowly sank into the water.
Gu Huaiwei left the hot spring pool and came to the row of rusty lockers.
She opened the cabinets one by one to look for it.
Some cabinets are closed very tightly, and there are pieces of iron sticking out of the rusty areas, which can easily scratch your hands.
Most of the things in the cabinet are girls' spare clothes.
There is an ID photo in the pocket of the school uniform.
After comparing them one by one, Gu Huaiwei found the locker of Xiaoyu's deskmate.
Logically speaking, if you open the wrong cabinet, you will be dragged away by the other monsters in the cabinet, but in Gu Huaiwei's case, all the monsters disappeared.
Those hairs and the arms hidden in the closet, all of them are so well-behaved, pretending to be dead.
Xiaoyu's deskmate is named Lulu, and she also works in this hot spring mansion.
Logically speaking, Gray Mist University is a private school, and the students there, except Xiaoyu, all come from well-off families.
Lulu appears to be Xiaoyu's friend, so why is she working odd jobs at the hot spring mansion? Is it to keep Xiaoyu company? Or is there some other purpose?
Gu Huaiwei rummaged through the locker.
The lights in the basement began to flicker.
The moment the lights went out, she heard the sound of her cell phone vibrating.
Then, a slight sigh was heard in the darkness.
She found her vibrating phone.
The light from the mobile phone became the only source of light in the basement hot spring.
Gu Huaiwei tried several 4-digit passwords commonly used by ordinary people to lock the screen, but none of them worked. Then she had an idea and remembered the information on her student ID card. Finally, she used Lulu's birthday to unlock the password.
The screen shows an unread text message.
Gu Huaiwei opened the text message.
"Bring the medicine and meet us in room 412."
There was only this sentence in the text message, and there was no note about the phone number.
There is a plate of white pills in the schoolbag.
There is no instruction manual, so I don’t know what it does.
"Come on, Meow Meow, let's go up and take a look."
Gu Huaiwei took her cell phone, put the pills in her pocket, and went to room 412 with Bai Meimei.
The fourth floor is filled with ordinary guest rooms of the hot spring mansion.
The lights in the corridor are red.
The two rows of doors were closed, and all the walls were decorated with prisms. Walking on the street, you could see reflections from countless mirrors.
The door of room 412 was ajar.
Gu Huaiwei pushed the door open and walked in.
There was no one in the room, only a black camera.
The moment Gu Huaiwei entered the room, the door closed immediately.
The monitor above her head emitted a red light, and the lens moved, aiming at Gu Huaiwei.
Then, the TV in the room turned on automatically.
The remote control is on the coffee table.
No one pressed it.
But the TV automatically changes channels.
The first thing playing was Animal World, where a lion bit an antelope's throat. Bai Meemie hummed softly when she saw this scene, then hugged Gu Huaiwei's arm tightly, with her furry little head pressed against her arm.
Then it switched to the jewelry appreciation channel, where a group of people in suits were bragging about the gray crystal ore in their hands. Their faces were blurry, and only a mouth could be seen chattering.
Then there was the hospital news: the number of hospitalizations for vaping lung disease had recently skyrocketed, and there were no beds left in the corridors. Many patients died in beds, collapsed in elevators, and even in toilet cubicles...
Gu Huaiwei keenly noticed that Lulu appeared in the hospital news. She was the dean's daughter and was following a young boy. The two of them were ambiguous.
It just jumps back and forth between several channels, and the speed is getting faster and faster.
Then, as if the signal didn't have time to switch, all the channels turned into a snowy screen.
“Sizzle, sizzle—”
The TV seems to be broken.
The sounds from all channels mixed together, irritating the eardrums.
"Hey—" A cold hand covered Gu Huaiwei's eyes, and a man's voice sounded in her ears, "Baby Lulu, did you bring the medicine I wanted?"
"Wow, who told you to touch my sister Gu!"
Bai Meimei must have seen the true appearance of the monster, and she was ready to pull the monster off from behind Gu Huaiwei.
Gu Huaiwei grabbed Bai Meimei who was about to push someone.
In order to find Lulu, she has to play along with the game.
Gu Huaiwei took out a pill, pinched it between her fingertips and raised her hand.
The man covered her eyes with both hands.
But there was a third hand that took the pill away.
"Why are you taking it apart?" The man's dissatisfied voice came from the darkness.
"Didn't I tell you? We have to make a complete batch of medicine so that when we switch the contents, it won't be easily discovered... Kakaka... That damn woman's parents have been getting worse lately, and I happen to be doing an internship at the hospital. This is a great opportunity for me to win the bet."
Gu Huaiwei didn't say anything, but took out another pill and hid it in her pocket, then took out the remaining pills.
The man took the medicine and said to himself, "Baby, it's thanks to you that I can get closer to Xiaoyu than them.
When I win this bet, I will make that gray crystal ore into a ring and propose to you."
Cold fingers stroked Gu Huaiwei's eyes under her bangs.
That spot was originally where Lulu had a birthmark on her face.
He mistook Gu Huaiwei for Lulu.
At this moment, it seemed as if the TV channel in front of me was restored again.
Like a broadcaster, a female voice with clear and standard pronunciation rang out.
"Recently, a new batch of low-quality drugs for preventing and treating vaping lung disease has appeared on the market. Please be aware and do not be deceived!"
"The dean's daughter successfully got engaged, but then a generic drug scandal broke out, and after facing a financial crisis, can the wedding still go ahead? Our reporters will be following this story closely."
In the darkness, another girl sighed.
Very close.
This time, it was like it was right next to Gu Huaiwei's ear.
The hand that covered Gu Huaiwei's eyes disappeared after the news report came out.
The camera starts to project images.
"Sister Gu." Bai Meimei secretly tugged at Gu Huaiwei's sleeve. "I think I saw Lulu. She was crying so pitifully."
