43 Taboo 4 || Teaching Building
A few people chatted as they walked towards the school cafeteria.
It was lunch time and the cafeteria was packed with people. Yan Shuang and his friends finally found a few empty seats and started eating.
"Wow, Shuang'er, look at this braised pork. It's top-notch." Ye Jing'an picked up a piece of fat and lean meat and praised, "The cafeteria aunties here don't shake when serving food. I'm so lucky."
Yan Shuang was too lazy to pay attention to the foodie next to her. She picked up a piece of braised pork from his plate and took a sip. It tasted really good.
"Eat more." Jing Ning saw that Yan Shuang liked to eat, so he silently shared the food from his plate with him.
Jing Ning didn't stop until Yan Shuang said she couldn't eat anymore.
During the meal, they asked the students next to them if anything strange happened in the school.
The students being questioned were shy at first, but since every school has its own horror stories, they started talking. "It's said this school was built on a mass grave, and the large population of the school helped to suppress the ghosts," they said.
"What? Then why are all the other buildings in the school demolished, but the dormitories are not?" The girl sitting next to her denied her.
The girl was at a loss for words and kept her mouth shut.
"I'm telling you, don't tell anyone." The girl looked around and said in a low voice, "That scary old lady..."
"Scary old lady?" Lin Haichen put down his chopsticks and asked with a frown.
"It's that Wu Huimin. She told others that the school didn't rebuild the dormitory building because of insufficient funds. In fact, the dormitory building cannot be demolished because someone died in it." The girl's voice became even lower, almost whispering.
Jing Ning raised an eyebrow, his slender fingers tapping rhythmically on the table, "How do you know?"
"The senior from the previous class told me this, so don't tell anyone else," the girl warned.
"Then do you know why he died?" Yan Shuang asked.
Just as the girl was about to speak, another girl with a ponytail in her hair urged her from a distance, "Let's go, Liu Xin! We'll be late if we don't leave now."
"I'm here!" The girl named Liu Xin stood up, waved to a few people with a smile, and ran after them to hold the arm of another girl next to her.
Looking at the girl's back, Yan Shuang asked, "Can you believe what she said?"
"Eighty percent." Jing Ning answered briefly.
By this time, they were almost full, and Lin Haichen suggested, "The school is quite large, so we should split up and search for clues outside to save time."
"Didn't Wu Huimin say that there will be an exam tomorrow? Why are you still going outside?" Lin Yue pulled Zheng Yuxuan and asked in confusion, her voice trembling. Her face was delicately made up, making her look pitiful.
Tian Yiyi suppressed her anger and said, "If you want to go back and be a good student, go back on your own. No one will stop you. We have an exam tomorrow, so we don't have time to go out and look for clues. Are you willing to go out at night?"
Lin Yue pouted, feeling unhappy. She turned around and leaned on Zheng Yuxuan's shoulder, tears in her eyes. She said in a bitchy tone, "Brother Zheng Yu, I just want to express my opinion. This young lady is so fierce..."
Zheng Yuxuan frowned, and reached out to pat Lin Yue's trembling shoulders soothingly. "It's okay, your brother is here. If you want to go back and rest, go back."
Seeing this, Wu Siyao immediately came over and said in a sweet voice, "I also want Brother Yuxuan's protection~"
"Okay, okay." Zheng Yuxuan's face suddenly broke into a smile, his eyes gleaming with pride. He completely forgot about his current environment and indulged himself in the beauty's embrace.
Everyone looked at the three people in silence. Even Red Hair couldn't help but say, "My eyes hurt. Can you three leave quickly?"
Yan Shuang said that this was the most correct thing Hongmao had said.
So the nine of them walked towards the playground together, chatting as they walked. The afternoon sun was the hottest, stretching their shadows long.
Jing Ning was walking in front, but suddenly stopped and said, "I'm going to the teaching building."
Upon hearing this, Yan Shuang pulled Ye Jing'an over and said, "Let's go too. The teaching building is too big, you won't be able to finish searching by yourself in an afternoon."
The three of them walked towards the teaching building, which glowed golden in the sunlight. As they entered, the scent of newly renovated buildings hit them. The walls were dazzlingly white, and every classroom was neatly arranged with desks.
Yan Shuang and his team started checking from the first floor.
The students in the teaching building were in class at the moment, and the only sound in the entire building was the sound of the teacher's lecture. In each classroom, the students sat upright. When Yan Shuang and the others passed by the door, they acted as if they didn't see them, their eyes fixed on the blackboard.
At both ends of the teaching building are teachers' offices. At this moment, several teachers are sitting inside working. Yan Shuang stands in front of the door and looks inside. These teachers, like the students, are busy with their own work and treat the three of them as air.
There are six floors of identical rooms, nothing special about them.
Apart from the overly focused teachers and students, this weird perfection actually makes people feel uneasy.
The sun shone into the corridor. The further Ye Jingan walked, the more he felt uneasy. "Are these people?"
"Probably. You can also think of them as NPCs in the game." Yan Shuang explained.
The five floors below are all classrooms, and classes are in session right now, so there's no need to check.
They went up from the first floor to the sixth floor. As soon as they reached the sixth floor, a gust of cold wind came out and Yan Shuang trembled all over.
"Shuang'er, don't you think it's cold on the sixth floor?" Ye Jing'an poked his arms with both hands, goose bumps suddenly appeared on his body, and said in a trembling voice.
Jing Ning whispered, "This building should be the director's office." The rooms on the entire floor were locked. Looking inside through the window, the room was pitch black, and the only light in the corridor was the sunlight shining in.
"Which school's office is built on the sixth floor?" Yan Shuang said.
Jing Ning made a gesture to keep quiet, slowed down his pace, and walked slowly along the wall. He pushed the door with his hand, but the door didn't move at all. It must be locked.
Yan Shuang said softly, "Do you want to go in and take a look?"
Jing Ning unlocked the door skillfully. When he pushed it open, a strong smell of dust hit their noses, making the three of them sneeze repeatedly.
"Isn't this newly installed? Why is there so much dust?" Yan Shuang fanned his nose with his hands. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, turned on the flashlight and shone it on the ground. He found that the ground was covered with a thick layer of dust and the original color of the desk was no longer visible.
"It seems that no one has entered this room since it was renovated." Ye Jing'an covered his mouth and nose with his hands and made a muffled sound.
Apart from a few cabinets and desks, the room was dusty. They searched for a while but found nothing useful.
Then they left the room, locking the door and returning to their original state.
Then they pushed open the next door, and another cloud of dust blew in their faces. Fortunately, this time the three of them had experience and covered their mouths and noses in advance. They waited until the dust in front of them settled before looking inside the house.
This house has the same layout as the previous one, and also shows no signs of being uninhabited.
We searched one by one, and found that there were 15 rooms on this floor. The facilities inside were no different, they were all offices. Apart from a few pounds of dust, there was no clue at all.
