Chapter 94 Haunted High School (28)
After all, Jinling University is a top-tier institution with excellent teaching quality and strong financial resources. You can see four chemistry laboratories just by looking at the navigation sign on the first floor.
They said they wanted to find a laboratory, but they didn’t know which one was the right one.
Fortunately, all the laboratories were clustered together, so Su Yue and the others decided to go over and take a look first.
As we walked along, the atmosphere of the school anniversary was very obvious.
The stair railings, elevator buttons and classroom doors are all marked with goldfinch logos. Looking out the window, banners with the words "Goldfinch University Centennial Celebration" are hung outside the teaching buildings.
However, Su Yue and his team encountered huge troubles during their trip to the chemistry laboratory.
The chemistry lab is different from other classrooms. You can't just enter it whenever you want. There are many dangerous materials and samples that are easily contaminated in the lab, so you must get permission to enter.
Su Yue and the others knocked on the first closed door and were scolded out by the teacher in charge of the classroom.
"Are you crazy? You're running into the lab like this, are you trying to save your lives?" the teacher said angrily. "Go back and review the safety regulations!"
It seems that we are not allowed to enter any of the chemistry laboratories, and if we really want to enter, we have to do so at night.
Another point is that Wei Wan didn't have any headaches outside these chemical laboratories, which made Su Yue very suspicious that they had found the wrong place.
"Are there other chemistry laboratories?" Su Yue asked.
Wei Wan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"I remember the school had an old laboratory building," Cang Zhi said. "If there's an old laboratory building, there must be old laboratories."
"The old laboratory building?" Wei Wan thought about it in confusion for a while, but seemed unable to remember it.
It was not until Cang Zhi took out the school map and showed Wei Wan the red circle called "Old Laboratory Building" that Wei Wan nodded in confusion.
"To be honest, I have no impression at all," Wei Wan said.
"If you have no impression of it, it means you found the right one," said Su Yue.
Wei · Toolman · Wan: "..."
His words showed that he treated Wei Wan as a tool, but when he was actually preparing to take action, Su Yue hesitated again.
"The closer you got to the memory, the more your head hurt, remember?" Su Yue asked.
Wei Wan nodded.
"The most serious incident was when we were searching for the Goldfinch Medal in the Hall of Honor. You were in so much pain that you nearly lost consciousness," Su Yue said. "But that doesn't even touch the core of the matter. If we really found your memory, you would probably be in a lot of pain."
Wei Wan was silent for a few seconds before answering, "Then I want to go too."
He was very determined, and he would have to bear the consequences of his memories. Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Su Yue gave up.
.
There is a lake in Jinling University. In summer, the lake is full of lotus flowers, and behind the lake is a dense grove.
The old laboratory building is located in the woods.
As you walk along, you'll see layers of lotus flowers reaching the sky, the water reflecting the sun's golden light, and the trees in the grove are lush and green, allowing you to immerse yourself in the adventurous atmosphere of the past.
...if you don't consider the mosquitoes.
"It's inhumane to make the game so realistic." Su Yue slapped away the mosquito that was perched on his arm, getting goose bumps. "No one can stand this."
"What is real?" Wei Wan asked.
"Don't ask so many questions, kid." Su Yue said perfunctorily, "Run faster."
They quickened their pace and passed through a grove filled with mosquitoes. Deep in the woods, they could see the old laboratory building. Its brick-red exterior reflected the golden rings of the sun, and it sat in a small courtyard hidden by the trees.
"The sunlight is so dazzling." Wei Wan put his palm in front of his forehead and said in a low voice.
.
In fact, it was not the sunlight that was glaring. The sunlight filtered by the leaves was bright but gentle. What made Wei Wan feel uncomfortable was the memory.
Su Yue couldn't really put himself in Wei Wan's shoes, but he could imagine that memories were like a thorny ball in Wei Wan's mind, which would hurt once awakened.
In a sense, he could understand Wei Wan's feelings.
"Do you want to go back?" Su Yue asked.
Wei Wan gritted her teeth in pain, but shook her head stubbornly: "No."
Going up the old stairs, the classroom with a sign saying "Chemistry Laboratory" was right in front of them. Su Yue walked in front, and Cang Zhi was taking care of Wei Wan behind. When they reached the classroom door, Su Yue suddenly stopped.
Cang Zhi was stunned and was about to ask him why he didn't go in, but Su Yue gave him a look, and Cang Zhi understood and cooperated by shutting up.
Although the door of the chemistry laboratory was obviously locked, the dust on the door handle showed obvious signs of being wiped off, giving it an abrupt "new" look that was out of place with the old door, where dust had accumulated into a line at the bottom.
Someone had been here before them.
Maybe not even left yet.
Because of the threat of being "expelled from school" for failing the game, although Su Yue is not afraid of the NPCs in the school, he does not want to provoke them.
So he didn't push the door open immediately, but waited outside.
The loudspeaker that the big sister had lent him just now was still working, and with the help of this equipment, he could hear the voice of the headmaster in the room.
"Pack up everything you can, take it away quickly, and then seal this room off."
"After the Gao Zhuo incident, they should have just shut down this lab. Now there's a problem."
Gao Zhuo?
This is a name I have never heard of.
Judging from the tone of the dean of studies, a lot must have happened to this "Gao Zhuo".
At this point, the dean's voice suddenly became softer, and even Su Yue couldn't hear it clearly with a loudspeaker. Soon, the dean's footsteps were actually coming towards the door. Su Yue made a prompt decision, pulled Wei Wan and Cang Zhi and ran away.
Just as I ran to the stairs, the door of the laboratory was pushed open with a creak, and the dean of studies poked his head out from behind the door.
"I seemed to hear someone just now." She muttered and looked around vigilantly. The long and narrow corridor was silent. She finally felt relieved and retreated into the laboratory.
"Those who should retire have retired, and those who should be fired have been fired. Once the lab is cleared out, this matter will be completely over. I'm already completely busy on such an important day as the school anniversary, and I can't let this happen again."
This sentence could only be heard through the loudspeaker. Su Yue did not dare to stay and pulled Cang Zhi and Wei Wan down to the first floor.
Cang Zhi and Wei Wan didn't know what Su Yue heard, but seeing his serious expression, they also looked nervous.
Only after they left the lab building and entered the woods, making sure no one could hear what they were saying, did Su Yue ask Wei Wan, "Have you ever heard of the name 'Gao Zhuo'?"
At that time, Wei Wan looked at Su Yue, his pupils reflected a clear amber color in the sunlight. He listened to people very seriously with his eyes wide open.
But when the name "Gao Zhuo" appeared, Wei Wan's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Gao Zhuo?" Wei Wan murmured again, with a strange look on his face.
When Su Yue realized that this name had too much impact on Wei Wan, Wei Wan's face had turned pale, his eyes were wide open, but his pupils were unfocused, and he was obviously in a state of stress.
He couldn't even stand and needed Su Yue's support. He curled up in pain and muttered the words "Gao Zhuo" and "I don't know".
Su Yue felt that Wei Wan was in such a pitiful state that he had no choice but to hit him on the back of the neck and knock him unconscious. At least he wouldn't be in so much pain when he fainted.
.
Wei Wan fell into a coma from then on and had a low fever. Su Yue and Cang Zhi let him rest in the dormitory. In the afternoon, Cang Zhi took a leave to take care of Wei Wan.
Wei Wan was fine, but he didn't wake up. Occasionally he would mumble some scattered words in his sleep, but all he said were "I don't know" and "Who are you", and he couldn't provide any other information.
It was obvious that the name "Gao Zhuo" had caused great stimulation to Wei Wan. However, just as the head teacher said, "The Gao Zhuo incident is completely over", Su Yue and Cang Zhi looked through all the available materials in the remaining time, but could not find any content related to the name "Gao Zhuo".
Wei Wan temporarily lost his ability to move, but the game continued as usual.
There was a club activity that night, and before the club activity was dinner time. After class, Su Yue met Cang Zhi in the cafeteria. When they arrived at the cafeteria door, they noticed a commotion spreading among the students.
There are often a lot of information posted at the entrance of the university cafeteria, such as new club activities, scientific research lectures, and school notices.
Like now, there is a sign on each side outside the cafeteria. The left one has a pink and green mixed with cute fonts saying "2D Club Recruiting New Members!", and the right one has a serious blue-gray background with a photo of an old man who looks very knowledgeable printed on it saying "Professor Hu Xiankai of Applied Chemistry will give a lecture on x month x day (tomorrow afternoon)".
Professor Hu was listening to the students from the Department of Chemistry talking this morning. Su Yue had also heard that he was an old professor who was very famous in the school. He has retired now. After coming back to give a lecture this time, it is unknown how long it will take for him to appear on campus again.
However, it was clear that neither the 2D club nor the old professor was the cause of the commotion.
.
Cang Zhi had been standing there for a while, so Su Yue walked over and asked him, "What's going on?"
"The Dean of Studies has issued new school rules," Cang Zhi said. "Some people can't accept them."
Su Yue was stunned for a moment, then looked at the electronic screen in the cafeteria that usually displayed the menu, and noticed that it was not "Today's Menu", but a scrolling rule:
To ensure campus safety and order and prevent theft, confusion, and other issues, from now until the completion of the school celebration, all students designated as "poor students" must clock in three times daily, morning, noon, and evening, and register when entering and exiting all buildings. Security personnel will conduct daily checks on all poor students, and those who fail to complete the registration process will be expelled.
"Is this crazy?" Su Yue couldn't understand.
"Because the goldfinch statue was stolen before," Cang Zhi said, "she firmly believes that it was done by a poor student."
"What a bastard!" Su Yue couldn't help but curse, "There's something wrong with this dean of studies."
But on second thought, the villain NPC in this kind of survival game has at least one thing that is off the mark in terms of world view, outlook on life, and values, which is indeed problematic.
There was no point in him dwelling on these things.
From the perspective of completing the game, the most important thing is still to regain Wei Wan's memory and explore more of the main storyline to unlock hidden tasks.
There are only two key words, "Bixian" and "Gao Zhuo".
As for other things, no matter how much information there is, it is of no help in advancing the main storyline.
It seems that the Pen Fairy currently kills one person every night, but in recent nights, it has been prevented by Su Yue and Cang Zhi, so the threat is not that great.
And this "Gao Zhuo", a completely unfamiliar name that Wei Wan heard for the first time from the dean, had a strong reaction to him. It was obviously a point that had to be explored.
But Su Yue had no information about Gao Zhuo, and only knew two things.
First, Gao Zhuo is related to the chemistry major. Second, according to the original words of the dean of studies, those who are related to Gao Zhuo "will retire if they should retire, and will be expelled if they should be expelled." There is no trace of them left in this school.
Those who should retire should retire...
Su Yue suddenly had an idea. He grabbed Cang Zhi's hand and patted the back of his hand enthusiastically: "Azhi, come with me to a lecture tomorrow."
Cang Zhi seemed to be completely unexpected that he would suddenly grab her hand. She was stunned for a few seconds before nodding quickly: "No problem, okay."
