136.
Something big happened in school these days.
Someone was killed in the school laboratory building.
The deceased was a freshman in high school. It was said that he was sorting experimental data in the laboratory building. When he was found, he was already dead, lying in the flower bed next to the west stairs.
When Lu Cai went to the computer room in the laboratory building to study computer basics, he also saw the police inspecting the west side.
"It's not easy for us to learn this lesson." The computer teacher's surname is Gu. He is very good-looking and quite popular in school. Two years ago, he received complaints because of his appearance. Later, the teacher confronted the students' parents and it is said that he fought his way out. This also sparked a topic of "Is appearance a reason for prejudice?" and set off a wave of discussion. Many cases of people being discriminated against in the workplace due to their outstanding appearance have emerged.
Anyway, in the eyes of students, Teacher Gu Xici is an idol-like figure. Perhaps it is because teenagers of this age all hope to have the courage to resist the whole world.
Seeing that the students were all distracted, Gu Xici smiled and said, "Today, you just need to complete an online assignment. I'll go through it first—"
Cai Lu watched the computer in front of him being operated and listened to Gu Xici explain the operating steps. If this course was not counted towards the total course score, this exam course would probably have been borrowed by other teachers.
Just as he was staring at the screen in a daze, Yue Xiaoyan came over and said, "Some people say that the laboratory building is haunted—"
"Haunted?" Lu Cai's face was full of question marks.
But think about it, it's not surprising that a murder case has not been solved yet and it's rumored to be haunted. It probably won't be long before the school has a new campus ghost story.
"It's still about that..." Yue Xiaoyan paid attention to the teacher's movements, lowered her head, and used the monitor to shield herself. "Someone saw a dark shadow in the laboratory building... It looked like a large dog... It was pitch black, with black smoke..."
"That's not a ghost, that's a monster..." Lu Cai replied indifferently.
Yue Xiaoyan was excited: "Not only that! There's also that new security guard... the one with the surname Lu! Lu Xiaoliu! Someone saw him walking around the lab building looking for something. Looking at his red eyes, he couldn't be a monster!"
"Master Ke has already explained that it's hereditary eye color, possibly due to mixed-race genes. You're spreading rumors and discriminating against them!" Cai Lu lowered his voice and became serious.
Yue Xiaoyan stuck out her tongue: "Who made him look so fierce..."
Lu Cai recalled that night after school, the two looked at each other through the window. The other's eyes were indeed a bit fierce, and there seemed to be a scar on his face.
She discovered the scar later. Several times when Lu Cai was on his way to school, he happened to run into Lu Xiaoliu who was on guard. He casually looked up at him and noticed that he had a light red scar on the lower side of his right ear. It looked like the scar was there a long time ago.
"Look at Ji Fengfeng." Lu Cai was brought back to his senses by Yue Xiaoyan's muttering, and followed her direction to look at Ji Fengfeng on the other side of the aisle.
Ji Fengfeng was already somewhat ill-tempered, but her bandit-like demeanor usually masked her ill-temperance. But now she was distraught, her eyes vacant, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she had encountered some difficulty.
"I heard that Ji Fengfeng was in the laboratory building on the day of the accident!" Yue Xiaoyan seemed to be muttering to herself, "But fortunately, she was under surveillance the whole time, otherwise it would be hard to explain..."
"You've heard so much." Lu Cai complained helplessly. She thought to herself that Yue Xiaoyan was usually a quiet and indifferent person, so why did she keep nagging when she was talking to her?
Yue Xiaoyan smiled: "You don't understand. Information is the most important thing. If you want to survive in a harsh environment, you have to grasp the latest information..."
"That's well said, but I think if you don't put it into practice, you might fail this course." Gu Xici stood at the back of the aisle with a friendly expression, his eyes fixed on the two of them.
Lu Cai was shocked and noticed that the display screen had returned to normal, but she hadn't read any of the steps just now!
The two of them kept their mouths shut, like wilted quails, and started operating their computers.
——
After the class, the students stood up one after another. Lu Cai listened to Yue Xiaoyan sighing beside him, and a figure slowly walked by his side.
Lu Cai's gaze couldn't help but fall on Ji Fengfeng. Thinking of Yue Xiaoyan's words, she also found that Ji Fengfeng was a little absent-minded.
Following the crowd toward the stairs, they were slow to move and ended up at the back of the class. Cai Lu looked up, frowning, and then stopped.
"What's wrong?" Yue Xiaoyan also stopped.
"I'm going to find Lu Jue, you go first." Lu Cai explained to her in a low voice.
Although the relationship between her and Lu Jue is very plastic, they are blood relatives after all. For the sake of Lu Lifeng and Dr. Gu, she cannot abandon him.
What's more, a murder occurred in this building not long ago.
"Isn't he here?" Yue Xiaoyan glanced at the classmates on the wall corridor. Sure enough, Lu Jue's back was nowhere to be seen. "Why don't you tell Teacher Gu? It's too dangerous to go alone."
"There are police downstairs, what are you afraid of?" Lu Cai smiled.
Yue Xiaoyan frowned: "But there is no monster inside the building--" When she said this, she felt the temperature in the room had dropped a few degrees. Looking at the shadow at the corner of the corridor at the end of the corridor, she always felt that there was some terrible monster hiding there.
"What's wrong?" Shi Rukui and Zhao Yan, who were walking in front, also slowed down.
"Lu Jue is missing--" Yue Xiaoyan explained to them in a low voice.
Zhao Yan looked at the crowd in front and said, "Shall we look for him?"
"I'll go back to the computer room first." Lu Cai walked back with the book in her arms, and the three followed behind her.
Just as they reached the door of the computer room, Gu Xici came out and saw several people coming back: "What happened?"
"Teacher, isn't Lu Jue in the computer room?" Lu Cai knew the answer when he saw him about to lock the door, but he needed to report the situation to the teacher, "Lu Jue is missing."
Gu Xici opened the door of the computer room again, looked around inside, and confirmed that no one was there: "Could he have gone to the bathroom?"
"Okay, let's go check it out now."
Several people walked towards the toilet and stopped at the door. Shi Rukui and Zhao Yan went in to check. When they reached the door, a thin boy came towards them and their eyes met.
When Lu Jue saw Lu Cai in the corridor, he frowned slightly and asked, "What are you doing?" His tone was very cold.
Lu Cai spoke first: "Teacher Gu asked us to see if you were in the bathroom."
Anyway, this is the fact. As for what happened next, Lu Cai discovered that Lu Jue was no longer worried about it, so there is no need to say more.
This child has a rebellious mentality, and he may interpret your care as surveillance.
Lu Jue snorted coldly, said nothing more, and walked around the few people and left.
"Why is he like this?" Yue Xiaoyan was a little angry. "Is he really your brother from the same womb? He wasn't adopted from somewhere?"
Lu Cai shrugged and was about to leave with the others when the phone in his pocket vibrated.
Normally, mobile phones are not allowed in school, but communication is crucial nowadays. As long as students don’t play with their phones in class and it doesn’t affect their studies, teachers will turn a blind eye.
She took out her cell phone and saw that the caller ID was "Dr. Gu".
"Hello, Dr. Gu, what's wrong?" She spoke softly, and everyone around her fell silent.
Cai Lu said "Oh" several times, said "I see", and then hung up the phone.
They all knew that "Dr. Gu" was Lu Cai's mother, an excellent surgeon. She called at this time, so it must be something important.
But after all, this was Lu Cai's family affair, so no one asked what happened.
Actually, Gu Mengshu's call wasn't about anything serious. It was just that Lu Lifeng's vacation was interrupted and he was urgently transferred back by his superiors to participate in a mission.
Lu Lifeng is a soldier, a technical soldier, currently in charge of computer network engineering related work. He is usually very busy at work. After finally getting a few days of vacation, he is pulled back halfway.
So, Gu Mengshu called to tell her that from today onwards, she needed to go home with Lu Jue.
——
After school, the sky fell into darkness, and Lu Cai stood outside the security office waiting as usual.
I just spoke on the phone. Gu Mengshu will be here a little late because he is working overtime.
There are two parents in the family, one is a soldier and the other is a doctor. One is away from home for a long time, and the other has to work overtime at any time and is occasionally called to the hospital in the middle of the night by a phone call.
Before, Lu Jue had been recuperating in a sanatorium all year round, and Lu Cai was the only one at home. The nanny was responsible for breakfast and dinner, and the cleaning was also done by the nanny. She was used to the quiet life alone.
Now we have to add Lu Jue who is going to counterattack me...it can be said that the future is bleak.
As she was lost in thought, a shadow descended, enveloping Lu Cai. She raised her head and met those crimson eyes.
Lu Cai withdrew his gaze, trying to pretend he didn't care, but with such a living person standing right next to him, how could he not care...
Just as he was wondering why Gu Mengshu hadn't arrived yet, someone beside him handed him something. Cai Lu followed his hand and saw a red bracelet held by slender white fingers.
Lu Cai was puzzled. He looked back at Lu Xiaoliu, met his eyes, and instantly understood what he meant - this bracelet was for her.
The atmosphere was awkward. Cai Lu thought this man was too weird. If he didn't have a good-looking face, he would probably think he was a pervert.
However, good looks doesn't mean he's not a pervert...
Fortunately, his cell phone rang at this time. Cai Lu quickly picked up the call and heard it was Gu Mengshu.
"I'll be there now..." She ran away in a hurry, as if there was a monster next to her.
Although Lu Xiaoliu's behavior did not disgust her at all, her vigilance towards strangers made her dare not stay any longer.
After running far away, she looked back and saw Lu Xiaoliu standing tall in the dim light. The residual light of the headlights at the school gate fell on his back, casting his face into shadow.
There was a lot of noise all around, but he was the only one in the silence.
Retracting his gaze, Lu Cai slowed down his pace and walked away under the dim light.
Lu Xiaoliu watched the girl's back gradually disappear into the distance, his eyes gradually becoming blank. He tightened the red rope, his breathing gradually becoming rapid, and he felt that this scene seemed familiar.
Where have you seen it before?
He doesn't remember.
She lowered her eyes slightly and glanced at the asphalt road. A wisp of black mist slowly followed the girl along the road.
He frowned, his eyes became fierce, he put the red rope back on his wrist, and ran after the shadow.
"Xiao Liu!" A security guard in his thirties saw him and called out hurriedly, but Lu Xiaoliu did not respond.
You're going to die!
Lao Ke felt a buzzing pain in his forehead.
"Master Ke, what's wrong?" Gu Xici drove away from the gate while the crowds were gradually decreasing. When he saw Old Ke, he casually greeted him.
"It's nothing, it's just that the young man had an emergency at home and didn't have time to ask for leave..." Lao Ke looked helpless, "Look, I have to ask for leave for him."
Gu Xici smiled and said, "Everyone has urgent matters." He responded casually and slowly left the school.
