There was a musty smell in the archive room. Chen Ge covered his mouth and nose and was the first to enter the room.
The wooden bookshelf looks very old, and there is an inexplicable sense of incongruity when placed next to the rusty filing cabinets next to it.
“These bookshelves and metal cabinets appear to be from different schools.”
Chen Ge casually took out a document from the wooden bookshelf, but perhaps because the storage environment was too poor, the file bag was damaged when he exerted a little force.
"Insect-eaten and damp, it seems that the school has not taken these materials seriously at all." Chen Ge carefully opened the file bag, and the contents inside puzzled him: "Donor thank you list? Why does this paper look familiar?"
Chen Ge watched it over and over again, and suddenly a picture flashed through his mind. He looked at the document bag full of wormholes in his hand in surprise: "I seem to have seen such a list in the principal's office of Muyang Middle School!"
He observed carefully and tried hard to recall, and compared with the name of the donor, something even more surprising happened.
"It's exactly the same! I've seen this list in the principal's office at Muyang Middle School!"
In order to find the old principal of Muyang Middle School, he had entered Muyang Middle School many times. That two-star horror scene had been searched thoroughly, but unfortunately, he couldn't find the old principal even after digging three feet into the ground.
"The world behind the door is woven according to the memory of the person who pushed the door. This school is quite special. It seems to be formed by the memory of everyone inside the door." Chen Ge gently held his chin: "Except for the old principal of Muyang Middle School, everyone else is in my haunted house. The list of donors of Muyang Middle School appears here. Does it mean that the old principal of Muyang Middle School is also in the school?"
Chen Ge opened his eyes wide. He looked at the musty bookshelf in front of him. The more he looked, the more familiar it looked. "Could these things have also been moved from Muyang Middle School? Is part of the two-star scene hidden here?"
"It seems that the old principal and I are indeed destined to be together." He put the file back to its original place, with an intriguing expression: "Before the Psychic Ghost School Trial Mission is unlocked, there are nine prerequisite missions. Is it possible that these nine prerequisite missions have some special connection with the Psychic Ghost School?"
"Teacher Bai, did you find anything?"
"We have made some discoveries, but we are not sure yet." Chen Ge pulled out another damp file covered with mold: "Survey report on the campus environment?"
Although it is called an archive room, it is actually more like a storage room for files. It contains all kinds of files and materials, including graduation projects, reimbursement bills, club statistics, canteen purchase catalogs, etc.
"Teacher Bai!" Zhu Long found a few crumpled newspapers from a corner. He held one of them in front of Chen Ge and said, "Look at the news with the big picture in the middle."
"The teaching building caught fire due to unknown reasons, and many students were trapped in the toilet. Firefighters bravely rushed into the fire and rescued them." This report was in the middle of the newspaper and was very eye-catching.
"Judging from the layout and content, the person who wrote this report should not be very old." Chen Ge took the newspaper. It was covered with mold and had large stains. Many parts were blurred. "This seems to be a school newspaper."
Muyang Middle School is just a private welfare institution and has no ability to establish a school newspaper. After Chen Ge flipped through all the newspapers, he found a familiar place name, Xicheng Private College.
This place name appears many times, and many reports revolve around the West City Private College.
"Isn't Xicheng Private College the school Zhang Ya attends?"
In that abandoned school, Chen Ge had his first date with Hong Yi.
It was also in that school that he entered Zhang Ya's heart.
"Was there a fire in the teaching building of Xicheng Private College?" Now thinking back, he had seen burnt stair railings in the teaching building at that time. "It's a bit strange. Not only Xicheng Private College, but also Muyang Middle School, several abandoned schools I have visited have traces of fire."
He read the newspaper Zhu Long handed to him again. At that time, firefighters rescued six people from the toilet on the top floor. The newspaper regarded the firefighters as heroes and praised them throughout the article.
But he also saw a report in the corner of the newspaper calling on everyone to learn about summer fire prevention knowledge, which vaguely mentioned that a classmate died in the fire.
"The fire started from the toilet, but how could a fire start in the toilet? The fire broke out after the students finished their evening self-study. School was over, so why did those children stay in the toilet on the top floor of the school?"
Combining several reports, Chen Ge was very keen to perceive the problem: "The fire was burning on the fourth floor. At that time, there were only students in the toilet on the fourth floor. The firefighters rescued six students, but another student died in the fire. That means there should have been seven people in the toilet at that time!"
It is now impossible to figure out what caused the fire. There is no record of this incident in the data and archives, and the child who died in the fire seems to have become a taboo.
"Has this happened at Xicheng Private College? But I didn't feel anything 'unusual' when I went there?" Chen Ge was very confused. "If the door of the toilet was pushed open by the child who died in the fire, then he should be the 'door pusher' of Xicheng Private College. But the fact that Xicheng Private College can become a three-star scene is entirely because of Zhang Ya!"
Now that West City Private College has become part of the haunted house scene, Chen Ge is very sure that Zhang Ya is the scariest person in that school.
"All three-star scenes have a door, but only the West City Private College, although it is three-star, has no door." Chen Ge looked at his own shadow and silently recited the name in his mind. He kept repeating it, but still got no response.
"The reason why Xicheng Private College was rated as a three-star scene by the black phone was entirely because of Zhang Ya. As far as I know, Zhang Ya has never opened any door, and I didn't see any door when I went to Xicheng Private College..."
Chen Ge slowly put down the hand holding the newspaper, and the red dress appeared in his mind.
"Zhang Ya, the door that should have existed but disappeared, the person who pushed the door..." These three words connected into one line in Chen Ge's mind, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.
With his eyes wide open, Chen Ge took a deep breath and said, "Could it be that the door pusher from West City Private College was eaten by Zhang Ya?"
Only this explanation can explain why Zhang Ya is different and why she is so ridiculously strong.
"What will happen to the door after the person who pushes the door is eaten?"
Chen Ge speculated on various possibilities: "Zhang Ya did not become a 'door pusher' because of her obsession. The door without a 'door pusher' should have slowly lost control like the door in Liwan Town, but in fact, that did not happen. This door only appeared beside the beds of those desperate children... Wait! Is it looking for a new 'door pusher'?"
