Poison (Seventeen)
The self-media and nearby residents were all shocked.
Many people saw the repeated jumping from the building last night, and some people even took photos and posted them online.
As soon as Yu Shu arrived at the school gate, he saw several plainclothes reporters. If he entered through the main gate at this time, he would definitely become the reporters' primary target, so he took Jiang Yu around to the side door of the dormitory.
He checked the faculty group in the morning and urgently notified all faculty and students to go on holiday.
The dormitory managers who usually stayed on campus had left, so Yu Shu had no choice but to take Jiang Yu over the wall. Fortunately, there was a hole in the side wall of the dormitory building for taking takeout, so they climbed up with just a few steps.
"Hey, man, be careful, there's barbed wire on it."
This voice confused Yu Shugan. The notice clearly stated that all employees were on leave and the school would not allow anyone to stay.
Jiang Yu pulled Yu Shu, and the two landed one after the other.
The person who just called their attention was a construction worker wearing a hard hat.
Yu Shu mouthed, "What's going on now, in broad daylight?"
Just based on the supernatural incident last night, No. 6 Middle School will definitely not have a holiday. It turns out that a shameful and strange situation has occurred in the school. No wonder a message was sent to the faculty and staff group at five in the morning, and the class teachers were ordered to let all students leave the school before seven o'clock.
Jiang Yu's eyes were cold as he pulled Yu Shu behind him to protect him.
At the same time, he whispered, "What the hell, what's going on?"
Eight construction workers presented a particularly strange scene. Some were moving air, some were hitting the air with invisible hammers, and some were half-bent over and swinging back and forth as if they were sorting objects.
They should be the construction workers mentioned by the nearby community, but their appearance in the school in broad daylight is completely different from what the residents described.
It was the team leader who called their attention just now. Seeing that Jiang Yu and Yu Shu had no safety measures, he took out two safety helmets from somewhere and stuffed them into their hands.
"You look quite strong, but how come you come back to work at the construction site when you look so clean?" The team leader looked at the two of them.
Jiang Yu held Yu Shu's hand tightly and did not move.
The young team leader had been working for many years and had met many people. He thought Jiang Yu and Yu Shu were recent college graduates who were too embarrassed to work on the construction site, so he reached out to pat them on the shoulders.
However, his hand passed through Jiang Yu's body.
"I...you..."
The young leader's incredible gaze wandered between his hand and the two of them. He smacked his lips for a long time and couldn't utter a word.
The young leader wiped his face, leaving a mark of dust on it. He still didn't give up and tried to put the safety helmet on their heads, but it also fell to the ground.
And there's no clinking of hard plastic.
He looked back at his co-workers who were busy working and didn't notice him, and his brows furrowed more and more.
"You are already dead." Jiang Yu closed his eyes and said calmly.
Yu Shu nodded.
He and Jiang Yu went to No. 6 Middle School to check the results of last night, but they encountered an unexpected situation.
The young leader lowered his eyebrows and looked at the ground. His eyelids trembled slightly and he couldn't find his own shadow. After a moment, he slowly moved his eyes and saw the slender shadows behind the two people.
He kept muttering, "We are dead..."
It was the first time Yu Shu had seen such a situation and he was a little at a loss.
Jiang Yu took out a talisman and stuck it on the ground. A soft golden light slowly meandered along the ground and soon connected into a huge circle, surrounding all eight construction workers.
Surrounded by soft light, the young leader gradually recalled his past life.
He called the other seven people over, briefly explained the situation, and then they all bowed to Jiang Yu to express their gratitude.
"We remembered now," the team leader said gratefully. "A half-built building collapsed, crushing us to death and burying us alive."
"Don't come to this place, it's very weird, leave now."
Several other construction workers reminded.
They are kind and simple by nature, and even when they become ghosts they are still clean and pure.
Yu Shu felt a pang of heartache when he saw these construction workers. After returning home last night, he specially checked the construction of No. 6 Middle School.
The oldest among them looks to be only 27 or 28 years old, and the youngest may not even be an adult. They do hard and tiring work, and their families have not received any compensation from the employers for those who died in accidents.
Dozens of construction workers died in accidents at the construction site that year, and their families did not receive the compensation they deserved. The grandfather of the current principal of No. 6 Middle School attributed all the responsibility to the workers' failure to take safety measures as required.
Yu Shu thought for a moment and said, "Thanks for the reminder. Let's go find something and go back when we find it."
In fact, it could have been checked after the cycle ended last night, but Jiang Yu considered that someone had deliberately released the poison, and perhaps the poison was under the control of that person. Perhaps after the soul fell from the building, the person behind the scenes would appear.
That's why I came back after a night, just to see if I could find the person and make him tell me the whereabouts of the poison.
Upon hearing this, the team leader exchanged glances with several colleagues for several seconds: "You are late."
Yu Shu was stunned for a moment and nudged Jiang Yu lightly with his elbow.
Jiang Yu turned around and gave Yu Shu a look, indicating that he should not worry, as he didn't know what was going on.
The team leader continued, "Before you came, someone came here and wandered around in front of the teaching building. They picked up a bunch of trash and left. Actually, the piece of paper they picked up is almost the same as yours."
As he spoke, the team leader pointed to the talisman on the ground.
Jiang Yu's guess turned out to be correct. Although he didn't know whether the poison was under control, that person must be the one who let the poison see the light of day again. He came back to get the talisman because he must have sensed the magic circle he had set up and was afraid of being found out, so he hurried to destroy the traces.
"Do you remember what that person's characteristics were?"
"I can't tell, but he looks very similar to the Taoist priest who suppressed this place many years ago."
Yu Shu frowned. How could he not see it? He would always have some impression of the height, weight and body shape of men and women.
Jiang Yu was not surprised by the construction worker's answer and remained calm.
"Can you...can you please do me a favor?" The young team leader scratched the back of his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
Jiang Yu continued: "Speak."
"We don't know where we'll appear next time, in a dim basement, on the rooftop, or like now. Since we're already dead, can you prevent us from waking up? And... say sorry to our families for us."
The young team leader smiled bitterly.
"Okay. We'll help."
Even if they don't say it, Jiang Yu will make them enter reincarnation.
It is not an easy task to allow them to reincarnate. The first and most difficult problem is to dig out their bones. After so many years, the places where they were buried may have been replaced by high-rise buildings.
Moreover, their memories are incomplete, and there is a high probability that their three souls and seven spirits are damaged. Once they are dug out, Yu Shu will need to repair their souls.
"Thanks."
The team leader and the others smiled innocently. They were surrounded by the faint silver-white light of Jiang Yu's talisman and gradually disappeared.
The two of them divided the work and worked together to collect the talismans scattered in the four directions, and also took away the stone in the center of the magic circle.
While sensing the talisman at the center of the magic circle, Jiang Yu quickly found the traces left by the poison.
But to Jiang Yu's surprise, the entire school, except for the dormitory area, was filled with traces of poison.
Fortunately, he had an extra trick up his sleeve. He picked up the stones and used them for divination.
Although traces are everywhere, they will be covered, which means that if the traces appear multiple times, they will be covered.
The stones in the magic circle absorbed spiritual energy and were stained with traces of the poison. They could divine the place with the highest repetition rate of traces, thus narrowing down the scope.
Jiang Yu scattered the small stones on the ground at random. The stones rolled around for several times, some gathered together, and some slipped far away.
In Yu Shu's opinion, it is just a mess of littering.
"How about it?"
Jiang Yu pointed to the senior high school building: "Fourth floor. Near the staircase on the right."
"Class 17?!" There are four classes on the first floor of the senior high school teaching building, and Class 17 is at the right staircase on the fourth floor.
Yu Shu had sent Wang Zhiyao back to class before, so he must have remembered it correctly.
The poison was actually hiding in Class 17?! No wonder all the teachers involved were from Class 17, and almost half of the students were on sick leave from that class.
"There's another place." Jiang Yu turned around and looked at the laboratory building across the street. "That should be where the poison was suppressed."
Jiang Yu divined that the starting point of all traces was the experimental building.
"But, the poison has completely left." Jiang Yu added.
The poison is no longer in this school, and if the poison leaves the school within a radius of 500 meters, the divination will not be able to find it.
Fortunately, the magic circle also recorded that person's whereabouts.
She was a young woman in her thirties, dressed very formally, with sunglasses, a mask, and a hat. She had also climbed over the wall. She had also encountered the construction workers, but she just ignored them and walked past them. What happened next was that they climbed over the wall.
It seemed that she was very familiar with No. 6 Middle School. Even though she was wrapped up tightly, her elegant and intellectual temperament was still strong. However, Yu Shu had never seen such a faculty member in No. 6 Middle School.
Jiang Yu looked up at Class 17 and took a step forward to go up and take a look.
When I walked near the teaching building, I startled a flock of crows.
Yu Shu remembered what Jiang Yu had told him: "The crow is also called the black bird, and it has the ability to predict disasters."
Guangzhou is a forest of steel and concrete, and crows are rarely seen. Moreover, No. 6 Middle School is located in a prosperous urban area, so the sight of these crows is becoming more and more bizarre.
They blocked the entrance and circled at low altitude, making shrill cries as if warning the two not to go any further.
The flight paths of the crows slowly began to spread outward, surrounding Jiang Yu and Yu Shu. Several larger crows landed on their shoulders, turned their heads and cried loudly in the opposite direction of the teaching building. Seeing that the two had not moved, they flapped their wings and took off. They flapped their wings for a long time and even lost several feathers.
The crows tried their best to prevent them from approaching the teaching building, but their tiny bodies could not drag two adult men who were over 1.8 meters tall.
Jiang Yu took a few steps back: "Stay away from the teaching building."
Yu Shu stepped back upon hearing this.
They walked back, and the crows flying around them gathered back, forming a wall blocking the front of the teaching building.
The crows that had landed on their shoulders also took off, but they did not return to the flock. Instead, they stayed at the height of the two men's ears and continued to hum.
"Is there something in the teaching building?" Yu Shu asked.
Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes and scanned the entire building from top to bottom: "No, I can't feel anything."
Just as he finished speaking, a loud crash was heard from the side of the teaching building, almost breaking their eardrums.
The location where the sound came from was exactly where the fall from the building happened last night.
Yu Shu was startled, his heart pounding. He patted his chest to calm down, then quickly followed Jiang Yu's footsteps.
"Call the police." Jiang Yu looked up at the rooftop, frowned and said seriously.
Yu Shu saw the principal fall to the concrete floor, blood mixed with fat and internal organs, flowing all over the ground.
