Chapter 101 Haunted High School (35)
Wei Wan still had a slight fever, his complexion was not very good, and he looked a little listless, but he still struggled to ask Su Yue and Cang Zhi about what happened last night.
Because in Wei Wan's view, the series of deaths were closely related to him. Although he had no idea what had happened and even lost his memory, he was determined to "not let anyone die because of me."
Su Yue told Wei Wan the story of last night. Wei Wan listened with a very nervous expression. He relaxed a little when he knew that most people were fine.
"You guys are so awesome." Wei Wan exclaimed.
"It's just so-so." Su Yue said reservedly.
"It's amazing." Cang Zhi said.
Su Yue: "..."
Cang Zhi's face was full of innocence, and Wei Wan turned his head away with difficulty to suppress his laughter.
Later, Wei Wan asked about the memory search again. This time, Su Yue didn't dare to tell him. Just hearing the name Gao Zhuo was enough to make Wei Wan have a fever for a whole day and night. If he mentioned Professor Hu Xiankai or someone else, it would be embarrassing for this guy to not be able to catch his breath and have a fever until the end of the game.
So Su Yue just said a few perfunctory words and told Wei Wan that he would study it again today. Wei Wan also knew his own situation and obediently cooperated with Su Yue's request without asking any more questions.
In the morning, a new rumor was spreading among the students, saying that someone had died in the woods last night.
"That club again!"
"That club Wei Wan is in, right? I knew it!"
Su Yue was getting annoyed listening to this group of people's discussion. She couldn't help but pierce her voice and said something hidden in the crowd: "But Wei Wan didn't go to the club activities yesterday. Wasn't he sick?"
There was a sudden whisper at the scene.
"It seems so."
"What's going on?"
But soon someone else said, "This only proves that Wei Wan is unlucky. Look, if you come into contact with him, you will suffer terrible misfortune. How terrible."
Su Yue: "..."
He was really speechless and too lazy to argue with the NPC. He ordered his meal with a belly full of anger and sat down at the table in the middle of the cafeteria in a swaggering manner.
The other students knew that Su Yue and Wei Wan were close, and they all ran away from the table as fast as if they were running for their lives.
Su Yue snorted coldly and thought to himself, just hide away, you deserve it.
Cangzhi followed Su Yue to get his meal and sat opposite him. Before Su Yue could say anything, Cangzhi handed him a bottle of drink and placed it in front of him.
Su Yue: "..."
When did this guy become so good at pleasing others?
Although he complained in his heart, Su Yue really fell for it. After drinking the drink that Cangzhi gave him, he felt a little better. After dinner, he had another class and went to listen to Professor Hu's chemistry lecture with Cangzhi.
It can be seen that Professor Hu is very famous in the school. Su Yue and Cang Zhi arrived on time and almost got no seats. In the end, they were squeezed into the seats in the front of the first row, which was quite convenient.
The lecture lasted two hours, but Su Yue didn't understand a single word. He was half asleep and half awake. When he finally woke up, Cang Zhi looked at him and said quietly, "You fell asleep four times."
Su Yue: "..."
Su Yue ignored Cang Zhi and rushed to the podium, where Professor Hu was answering students' questions. He consciously stood at the end of the line, and by the time it was his turn, the classroom was mostly empty. The setting sun shone through the side windows, casting a film-like quality on the floor.
Cang Zhi sat behind his desk, waiting for Su Yue. The space between the desk and chairs wasn't very large, which only made his long legs more noticeable. Su Yue only glanced at him once or twice before turning his attention to Professor Hu.
Professor Hu's hair is all gray. At first glance, he looks like a professor with a gentle temper and high academic level, who is respected by both teachers and students.
He must have seen Su Yue sleeping in the audience during his lecture, but when Su Yue came over to ask questions, he didn't say anything and still smiled very kindly.
So Su Yue was very polite. He went up to greet Professor Hu first. After a brief greeting, he asked the key question.
"Professor, do you know Gao Zhuo?" Su Yue asked.
Professor Hu nodded naturally and even smiled kindly. "Of course, Gao Zhuo is one of my favorite students. But why did you mention him suddenly?"
This reaction surprised Su Yue a bit, and he even felt like, "The mission was so easy, so was it really completed?" He asked, "I learned of Senior Gao Zhuo's name by chance, and I really admire him. Can you tell me more about him?"
Professor Hu readily agreed.
According to Professor Hu, Gao Zhuo was his student a few years ago.
The timing matches, Wei Wan was also from a few years ago, so they should indeed know each other.
Gao Zhuo was Professor Hu's favorite student. He was handsome, had excellent grades, and was very popular. Professor Hu said that what impressed him most was that Gao Zhuo's scores in all subjects in the Chemistry Department were ridiculously high, basically full points. Such a tycoon would also be a top student at Jinling University.
Gao Zhuo also has strong scientific research capabilities. He has a project related to metal research, which won an award in the city. Naturally, he also won the Goldfinch Badge that year.
That’s right too.
Wei Wan's goldfinch badge was most likely obtained together with Gao Zhuo.
"However, it's a pity for Gao Zhuo." Professor Hu changed the subject and sighed.
Su Yue noticed something: "How do you mean?"
"With his grades, a full scholarship, admission to graduate school, and even a brighter future were all within reach. The year he received the Goldfinch award was my last year at school, and then I retired. Later, I heard that he dropped out." Professor Hu sighed. "It was said that his award was revoked for some reason, and he left in anger. I tried to contact him but couldn't reach him. All I can say is that young people's setbacks are not temporary, and there is still a long road ahead. I hope he can figure it out soon."
When Su Yue heard the word "drop out", his first reaction was not to really drop out. He had some bad thoughts, but he didn't have the heart to tell the old professor.
Su Yue could only ask in a roundabout way, "So is there any news about Gao Zhuo anywhere else in the school right now?"
"It's hard to say now." Professor Hu sighed and suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right, classroom 601, you can go there and take a look."
"Classroom 601?" Su Yue asked.
"Yes, 601 was originally a warehouse. A few years ago, the chemistry lab burned down, so we built a temporary lab there. Gao Zhuo achieved the key breakthrough in that project in that temporary lab. He was very happy at the time and said he wanted to leave some mementos here. I don't know if he actually did. If you want to find it, go there and look."
As Professor Hu was speaking, he remembered something and took out a small folder from his briefcase. He took out a plastic-wrapped certificate from the folder and handed it to Su Yue.
Su Yue took it. It was a document that looked just like their student ID card, with no name or student number written on it. Moreover, this document was not called a "student ID card" but an "honorary student ID card."
"What is this?" Su Yue asked puzzledly.
"This is the award Gao Zhuo received after winning the prize. Only a few students at Jinling have this certificate. The Honorary Student Certificate is only given to students who have made outstanding contributions to the school. Even if a student makes a mistake, the Honorary Student Certificate can offset their punishment once."
"Gao Zhuo gave me this ID the last time he came to see me. At that time, I thought he was an excellent student and didn't care about it. Now that I think about it, he must have already decided to drop out of school... Sigh."
Su Yue was stunned for half a second, and then an idea flashed in his mind.
He even felt that this was a flash of inspiration deliberately given to him by the main plot of the game.
Although it is a bit unethical, it is indeed done for Gao Zhuo.
So Su Yue cast aside his psychological barriers and said, "Professor, I admire Senior Gao Zhuo very much. You said this was once his ID. Could you lend it to me to admire for a while?"
Professor Hu was stunned.
Su Yue's face was full of sincerity.
Cang Zhi's face was filled with the thought: Can you still play like this?
Su Yue was not sure if this was the right way to play it. Maybe Professor Hu would not only refuse to lend the money but also scold him.
But things did not go in a bad direction. Professor Hu generously handed the honorary student certificate to Su Yue.
"Then I'll give it to you. Since Gao Zhuo is no longer in Jinling, he should be willing to have a student instead of an old man like me holding his ID." Professor Hu said.
.
The moment Su Yue heard Professor Hu introduce the use of the honorary student ID card, he immediately realized that this was a golden ticket to immunity from death.
"Can offset any mistakes" means that when facing "expulsion" or failing the game, you can get a chance to start over, which is very important to Su Yue.
After saying goodbye to Professor Hu and walking to classroom 601, Su Yue held the honorary student certificate, looking at it from left to right, treating it like a treasure.
Although deceiving the old professor and taking the senior's things are both somewhat unethical, Su Yue did it for Gao Zhuo.
Thinking this way, he felt less guilty.
There were students passing by on the roadside, so Su Yue didn't want to pull Cang Zhi aside to discuss Gao Zhuo or Wei Wan. Walls have ears, and it would be bad if someone heard it.
However, Su Yue was organizing the information in his mind.
What is known is that Gao Zhuo is 99.99% related to Wei Wan, with the same year and the same goldfinch emblem.
The question is what kind of relationship will they have?
If they had a bad relationship, why would Gao Zhuo and Wei Wan take down the Goldfinch together?
But Professor Hu also said that Gao Zhuo dropped out of school in anger because his award was cancelled. If Gao Zhuo and Wei Wan had a good relationship, given Wei Wan's status in the school, how could she let Gao Zhuo suffer any injustice?
In the current situation, there is no point in speculating.
Let's wait for the truth to speak.
They soon arrived at classroom 601.
.
Just as Professor Hu said, 601 was originally a warehouse and now it has become a warehouse again.
If the boxes had not been deliberately pushed against the wall, leaving an obvious empty space in the room where it shouldn't have been, and if the dust in this empty space was not lighter than that in other corridors, almost no one would have been able to tell that this place had been briefly used as a chemical laboratory.
Su Yue came in and looked around, and soon locked onto the "memorial" that Professor Hu mentioned, which Gao Zhuo left in this classroom.
It was a box placed on the top of a nearby cabinet. It was made of iron with some carvings on it. It was not expensive, but very delicate, and it looked out of place with the cardboard box next to it that was not even sealed with tape.
If this were in a video game, this box would be the kind of highlight prop that glows softly as you enter a new scene, ensuring that everyone sees it as soon as they enter the room, with "Come open me, come open me" written all over its face.
Then Suyue would of course open it.
only.
Su Yue looked up.
Su Yue: "..."
This damn cabinet is too high.
Maybe because it is a warehouse, the ceiling of this room is very high, with cabinets stacked up layer by layer, and the top is about two meters to three meters.
The iron box was placed on the top of the cabinet.
Su Yue... Although he was reluctant to admit it, he couldn't reach it.
Su Yue stood on tiptoe and jumped twice, but still fell short.
Instead, it alarmed Cang Zhi who was standing next to him.
"Do you want that?" Cangzhi looked at the top of the cabinet and asked Suyue.
Su Yue nodded. Cang Zhi was quite tall, but it was obvious that he couldn't reach the top of the cabinet. Gao Zhuo must have climbed up the ladder at that time.
The problem is that when this classroom was vacated as a laboratory, the ladder was also taken away. Now there are only boxes and cabinets piled up like walls in the warehouse, nothing else.
Cang Zhi thought for a moment and stretched out his arms: "I'll lift you up."
?
Carry him up?
Su Yue didn't even think twice: "Refuse."
After the rejection, Su Yue was stunned.
He felt that he was not at the point where he had to rely on Cang Zhi to hold him to reach the box. However, after observing again, he found that there was indeed no way out. If he really wanted to, he could move the cabinets a little further and stack the boxes to form a staircase that he could climb up.
It only takes a few hours.
…
Su Yue looked at Cang Zhi again silently.
Cangzhi looked at Suyue sincerely, and almost had the words "I'm just a puppet who does his best" written on his face.
Su Yue once again had the absurd thought that this person was causing trouble.
…
Just do it.
Su Yue walked up to Cang Zhi with an expressionless face, staring at the ceiling without moving his eyes, and stretched out his hand: "Hurry up."
