The second time he entered dormitory 413, this time with Wang Xiaoming by his side, Chen Ge was not too panicked.

"Xiao Lin, don't you usually clean the room? You live alone here, but it feels like there are several people living here." It seemed that Wang Xiaoming entered Dormitory 413 for the first time, which made Chen Ge even more puzzled. The two dormitories were so close to each other. Even if they had never visited each other, he should have seen the scene inside the door when he opened and closed it, unless Xiao Lin had been deliberately blocking it.

"My eyesight is not very good. Can you help me see what's on the wall?" Chen Ge did not completely trust Wang Xiaoming and did not dare to leave him alone at the door. It would be bad if he suddenly went crazy and locked himself in the house.

"Okay." Wang Xiaoming seemed unaware of the horror of Dormitory 413. In his eyes, it seemed just an ordinary dormitory.

Holding the handrail, Wang Xiaoming climbed directly to the first floor and reached out to touch the wall: "You don't have any posters on the wall, why do you put so many nails on it?"

"Nail?" When Wang Xiaoming climbed to bed number one, Chen Ge quickly ran to bed number four, ready to take away all the notes and materials, and then never come back to this dormitory again.

"Yes, and what's with the shadow on the wall? It's like a living person lying on the wall. Aren't you scared when you sleep at night?" Wang Xiaoming felt a little uncomfortable just by looking at it.

Chen Ge did not respond. He was still thinking about what Wang Xiaoming had just said.

At this time, there was a human figure where Wang Xiaoming was touching, but it had just run out of the house and disappeared.

"Let me see." Chen Ge picked up his backpack and climbed to the No. 1 shelter. He reached out and touched the wall. There were densely packed nails under the white-painted wall.

All the nails are at the positions where the figure had appeared. Does that mean that it was these nails that nailed the figure to the wall?

Chen Ge was thinking when he suddenly felt a pain in his lower abdomen.

"Is there a bug?" Chen Ge lifted up his shirt and saw a small wound on his abdomen. Because the wound was too small, there was no bleeding.

"Are there bugs crawling into my clothes?" He took off his coat and checked it, but found no bugs in his clothes. Instead, he found a nail with a sharp tip in his coat pocket!

"Xiao Lin, why are you still carrying nails with you? Aren't you afraid of pricking yourself?" Wang Xiaoming just felt strange, but he didn't seem surprised. From his reaction, Chen Ge guessed that Xiao Lin must be an outlier in the class, and no matter what he did, everyone would think it was normal.

"It's okay." Although he said it was okay, Chen Ge couldn't calm down in his heart.

The nail that was originally used to nail the ghost to the wall suddenly appeared in his pocket and stabbed him hard. This was definitely not a coincidence.

"Is that guy looking for a scapegoat?" Chen Ge secretly sighed at his luck. If he had not returned to the dormitory, he would probably not realize what the problem was until he was stabbed to death and nailed to the wall.

"I opened the door for him out of kindness, but he turned against me and used me as a scapegoat?" Chen Ge compared the nails in his pocket with those hidden under the wall and confirmed that they were the same type.

"It's understandable that you want to find a scapegoat, but you should at least tell me. It's so rude to do it so silently." Chen Ge slowly calmed down. He took out a pair of scissors and tried to take out the nail in the wall. Unfortunately, the nail was nailed very deep, and it was too inefficient to use only a pair of scissors.

"This damn place is full of dangers. If you are not careful, you might die without knowing how you did it." After just a few minutes, Chen Ge felt himself being stabbed again, this time in his calf.

He shook his trouser leg and a short nail fell out.

"Now the frequency of these nails is very slow, and they don't hurt. As time goes by, will these nails appear faster and faster? Will they pierce deeper and deeper each time?"

Chen Ge didn't care about the pain from being pricked. What worried him was that he didn't know when the nail would appear and the location of its appearance was not fixed. If he was running and the nail suddenly appeared in his shoe, he would be doomed.

In addition, Chen Ge also considered a situation. If left unchecked, the nails might even appear inside the body, and then it would not be as simple as being stabbed.

"No wonder I always feel a sense of urgency. This place is really too dangerous."

Without figuring out his identity or understanding the situation, Chen Ge had already entered the rhythm of a slow death, but even so, he remained calm.

"I woke up in class. After Teacher Bai showed up, he repeatedly stressed that I was not allowed to go out and asked me to stay in the dormitory. Was this a psychological hint from him? The findings and notes on the desk all pointed to the dormitory. If I wanted to find out my identity, the best choice was the dormitory. This was a place I had to go." Chen Ge had no choice, but now thinking back, he noticed two details.

First, when Wang Xiaoming proposed to go back to the dormitory, he said that he wanted to go to the cafeteria.

Whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, if Chen Ge followed him to the cafeteria, this situation would be temporarily avoided.

This means that Wang Xiaoming had no intention of harming him. Of course, this does not prove that Wang Xiaoming is a good person. Maybe there are more terrifying things waiting for Chen Ge in the cafeteria, and he just wants to lure Chen Ge there and kill him.

Second, before lights were turned off, Teacher Bai came over to check to make sure whether Chen Ge was in the dormitory.

Teacher Bai's expression was very frightened at the time. He did not step into Dormitory 413 at all, which means that he must have known that Dormitory 413 was very dangerous.

Knowing clearly that there was something wrong with Dormitory 413, he actually let Chen Ge sleep here. There must be something wrong with this person.

To sum up, Chen Ge came to a conclusion in his heart that Wang Xiaoming might not be a good person, but Teacher Bai must have ulterior motives!

Chen Ge memorized all the people he met, everything they said, and their expressions and actions. This was not because he had a good memory, but simply because he had a strong desire to survive.

"Room 413 is very dangerous, but I was not killed immediately after entering it. I was just used as a substitute by a scapegoat, and the other party used such a slow method to complete the death. It seems that this mission is not completely hopeless." Chen Ge looked at the other human-shaped shadows in the dormitory. There should be a large number of nails under each human-shaped shadow.

"I've been stabbed by nails. What would happen if I took down all the nails in this dormitory and used them to stab others?"

Chen Ge had been stabbed twice by nails that appeared out of nowhere. If someone else had come, they would have thrown away or buried those horrible nails long ago.

But Chen Ge did not do that. Instead, he put away the nails and prepared to go out and find someone he disliked and stab him a few times.

"This nail can pin down ghosts, and it should also be able to cause some damage to obsessions and evil spirits. It's a good thing, but if I use the nail to stab people in the middle of the night, will it cause panic?"

Chen Ge thought this method was feasible: "I can leave some nails for now. My next focus is to find the scapegoat and try to convince him to cooperate with me to nail others. If that doesn't work, I can only try to nail him to the wall again."

Looking at the nail on the wall, Chen Ge tried a few more times with the scissors, but still couldn't get it off.

"It's more convenient to use a nail puller and a claw hammer to pull out nails. There should be a maintenance room in the school. It would be great if I could get some tools there."

Chen Ge's thinking is very flexible. He never sticks to one point: "Bring some more practical tools with you, so that you can deal with more complex environments."

"Xiao Lin? Xiao Lin!" Wang Xiaoming stretched out his hand and waved it at Chen Ge's face: "What happy things are you thinking about? Why are you smiling?"

"Xiaoming, do you know where our school's maintenance room is?" Chen Ge asked casually.

"Why are you asking this?" Wang Xiaoming didn't understand what Chen Ge was thinking. The two were not on the same channel at all.

"The door of my dormitory always has problems. It makes noises at night, so I want to find some tools to fix it." Chen Ge jumped down from the No. 1 dormitory and stood at the door.

"It seems to be near the faculty and staff dormitory building. Few students go there. I think you should wait until tomorrow to let the dormitory manager contact you. Although the dormitory manager of our building..." Wang Xiaoming shuddered and did not continue.

"Don't bother the dormitory manager. I can handle this small problem myself." Chen Ge knew that the approximate location of the repair room was near the faculty and staff dormitory building, but the problem was that Chen Ge didn't know where the faculty and staff dormitory building was.

"If you run around after lights out, the teacher will punish you severely if you are caught! Xiaolin, think carefully. If you go somewhere else, forget it, but the repair room is right next to the faculty dormitory!"

"It's a bit dangerous, but I can't live in this dormitory. The door creaks at night and I can't sleep at all." Chen Ge looked at Wang Xiaoming sincerely: "Brother, how about I sleep in your dormitory tonight? I see that you are the only one in your dormitory and the other beds are empty."

"Come sleep in my dormitory?" Wang Xiaoming's face twitched. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I think it's better to go to the repair room. Even if I meet teachers, as long as I communicate with them and explain the reason, they should understand."

"Okay, then how about you take me to the faculty and staff dormitory building?" Chen Ge grabbed Wang Xiaoming's arm and had no intention of letting go.

After a short stalemate in the dormitory, Wang Xiaoming finally agreed: "Okay, but I will leave directly when I get there, and I will definitely not enter the faculty dormitory."

"Thank you very much."

"You're welcome. You are my only friend after all." Wang Xiaoming returned to his dormitory to change his shoes. Chen Ge closed the door of Dormitory 413. While waiting for Wang Xiaoming, he took out his notebook and looked through the information of the student who was killed in the dormitory in detail.

"Oil painting major? He's usually timid and doesn't like to talk, but he's a very nice person. He likes to stay alone in the studio and paint strange paintings." Chen Ge pieced together some scattered information in Xiaolin's notebook.

"First, find the tools. If there is not enough time, I will try to poke Teacher Bai with a nail. If there is enough time, I will go to the oil painting studio."

After Wang Xiaoming changed his shoes, the two of them entered the corridor together.

"Xiao Lin, don't make too much noise. If we attract the dormitory manager, we'll be finished." Wang Xiaoming was very afraid of the dormitory manager, and Chen Ge also began to wonder what a dormitory manager was.

Could an ordinary person scare Wang Xiaoming like this?

If the situation wasn't critical, Chen Ge really wanted to go and see what the dormitory manager looked like.

The two of them came to the first floor one after another. The door of the dormitory building was not locked.

"quick!"

Wang Xiaoming waved to Chen Ge, and the two ran towards the door.

But just when they were about to reach the door, the curtains of the dormitory manager's room next door were pulled open, revealing a gray face pressed against the window. Next to this face was a notice strictly prohibiting students from going out after lights out.

The window was slowly pushed open, and a cool air came out from the house.

"Run! The dorm manager is here!"

Chen Ge didn't know whether the dormitory manager saw them or not, so he grabbed Wang Xiaoming and rushed out of the dormitory building.

The two ran a long way in the dark campus, and only when the surroundings returned to calm did they dare to stop and find a corner to catch their breath.

"It's over, Xiaolin! You're going to kill me! We've been discovered by the dorm manager!"

"Why are you panicking? He didn't see my face." Chen Ge recalled the gray face of the dormitory manager and felt a little creepy. That face didn't belong to a living person at all.

Whether it was Wang Xiaoming, Teacher Bai, or the other students in the class, they all looked like normal people on the surface; they even had body temperatures.

But the dormitory manager was completely different from these people. The face in the window was lifeless and expressionless.

"The dorm manager is different from the others. This is also a relatively important gain. I can try to pierce him with a nail a few times when I have a chance, or let him be my scapegoat."

Chen Ge continued to adjust his plan based on the clues he had, but the general direction remained unchanged.

The campus was very scary late at night. Chen Ge didn't know why, but it seemed that all the buildings that were very busy during the day and almost deserted at night had this characteristic.

After walking in the dark for a few minutes, Wang Xiaoming, who had been silent all the time, suddenly stopped.

"Are we there yet? Is this the faculty and staff accommodation building?" Chen Ge saw the outline of a low building in the darkness.

"Not yet. I just think that since I've been discovered, I might as well not care about it." Wang Xiaoming seemed to have suddenly figured it out.

"What? Are you going to go to the repair room with me?" Chen Ge felt that Wang Xiaoming was not in a good state.

Shaking his head, Wang Xiaoming looked at Chen Ge. He was breathing heavily and seemed to be chewing something hard in his mouth. His lips were red.

After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence from between his teeth: "This is the cafeteria."

"canteen?"

They agreed to go to the repair room, but Wang Xiaoming changed his mind halfway and quietly brought Chen Ge to the cafeteria door.
