Chapter 52
Jongin picked up a piece of paper from the gap in the door.
Hongbai came over and asked, "Did you find anything?"
Jongin handed her the note: "Look, it's best not to read it out loud."
Hongbai took it and nodded: "Okay."
Content of the note: We have all been deceived, everything is fake, everything is fake, don't believe them, don't believe a word they say.
Content on the back: There are rats everywhere, it's so scary, I don't want to see it, they are still there, squeaking, they are killing people!
Huang Bai's eyes widened and he asked in a trembling voice: "Should we leave now?"
Lan Bai asked: "Didn't we want to leave just now?"
Huang Bai asked: "What should we do then?"
Lan Bai patted his shoulder and said, "We can only wait for the door to open, unless we have a way to open the door and window, but you saw it just now, right? Everything outside is very hard, except for food."
He paused, made a joke, and said with a smile, "Maybe even the food is hard and can't be swallowed. What do you think?"
Huang Bai asked with a tearful face: "Do we have to wait here for an opportunity? I don't think that's a good idea."
Lan Bai sighed: "There is nothing we can do about this."
Hong Bai repeatedly looked at the note in his hand, rolled it up in a small plastic bag and hid it, then put the bag into his bag. He looked at Huang Bai and said, "If we had any way, we would have left long ago. Besides, I think that even if we repeatedly asked to leave, the middle-aged woman would not give us a chance to leave. You better be quiet."
Huang Bai asked: "How can I be quiet?"
Hongbai replied: "Don't tell the middle-aged woman any information, and don't reveal any of our personal information to the outside world. In short, I hope they don't know anything."
Huang Bai sighed.
He looked like he wanted to cry, but no tears came out, his eyes just became red.
Hongbai whispered, "Let's look around a bit more, maybe there's something else that can help."
Lan Bai nodded.
Huang Bai broke something with a bang. Everyone was startled and looked over and asked, "What happened?"
Huang Bai took a step back. Hong Bai looked over and found that it was a broken camera. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It turned out to be just this."
She was only concerned with being happy, not thinking about anything else. Lan Bai's face became much more serious, and she murmured, "This is not good. If this thing is in operation, they will definitely see our language and behavior just now, and we will be exposed."
Hongbai waved his hands: "What's the point of exposing or not? The camera can't record voices. Isn't it? We don't have to worry so much. If they had the ability, they would have killed us now. We have violated more than one rule. Or, in other words, we are not just exposed to the things described in the first rule now, right?"
She smiled casually and said, "Aren't we fine?"
At this point, Hongbai felt a little panicked, but she couldn't show it. She had to stick to her own ideas and calm herself down to ensure that the team would not fall apart more easily because of her sudden change of mind. She still wanted to get out of here alive.
Huang Bai murmured, "I still want to go home, I still want to go home!"
He gritted his teeth and said, "I can't die here."
Hongbaichaike joked, "Yes, we all have to go home. We can't die here. No one will die here, right? Be quiet and calm down. My friend, we will definitely be able to go home."
She mentioned this sentence repeatedly to warn herself. If she hadn't wanted to go home, she would have cried without caring about her image.
Who cares where!?
Hongbai sighed inwardly, feeling his chest filled with sadness.
Lan Bai said, "Since it's already broken, there's no need to think too much about it. Let's look for it again quickly. Maybe the middle-aged woman will come back to settle accounts with us soon. If we're lucky, we can still argue and get out of here. If we're unlucky, maybe we can only follow her forward."
Huang Bai asked: "Why?"
Lan Bai turned his back and said, "Maybe that person will use some excuse to make us go deeper. That would be difficult. The deeper we go, the harder it will be for us to escape and go home."
When Huang Bai heard the word "home", his eyes suddenly lit up. He clenched his fists and whispered, "I will definitely go home."
He seemed to have calmed down. He was calmer than Kohaku, who was more flustered than before when he spoke. So, he was concentrating on searching aimlessly for the item carrying the information with his head down. He didn't pay any attention to what the people around him said or did. He sighed repeatedly in his heart, avoided everyone's gaze and faces, and even his expression became dejected and depressed.
That means no one saw it.
She turned her back to the light and blinked towards the shadow, and her face seemed to be much paler than before.
Hongbai paused, and suddenly found something. She reached out and fumbled inside the cabinet, and suddenly touched the fur of a mouse. Her arm began to tremble, but no sound came out. She gritted her teeth and continued to grope inside. She was sure that she had touched a hard and smooth object that was not a mouse. After searching for a while, she found it!
Hongbai quickly took out the thing, spread out her hands and saw that it was a mouse. She was startled and almost dropped the thing in her hand. However, when she looked closely, she found that it was not a mouse, but a smooth, pure black, small pistol. She twitched the corners of her mouth, very happy, and her pale cheeks flushed slightly because of excitement, making her look more beautiful than before.
Lan Bai glanced at her and smiled happily: "Great, now we have the ability to resist."
Hongbai nodded vigorously, took out a wet tissue, and carefully wiped the pistol. After cleaning her fingers and palms, she wiped the things in her hands and her hands with an eyeglass cloth. She looked at the pistol carefully under the light, her eyes full of joy and intoxication. She put the garbage in a plastic bag, threw it next to the place that had been searched, and began to try to check the pistol.
Huang Bai's face looked even uglier than before, slightly greenish. He stared at the pistol in Hong Bai's hand with fear in his eyes, and murmured, "If we can pick up a pistol here, where did it come from? Did it belong to a cafeteria staff member? Did someone who came to eat carry it with them? No matter which one it was, we are...very dangerous."
He originally wanted to say, "We are all finished," but after thinking about it, he felt that this was too pessimistic, so he did not say it and changed his words.
Lan Bai glanced at him, knowing what he meant. He touched him with his arm to comfort him and whispered, "It doesn't matter. It's better to have it than not to have it. We don't need to find out how this thing came from. Anyway, it's ours now. I believe the owner of this thing will not come back to trouble us, because they either left or died. We will definitely leave."
You have to believe this.
Huang Bai looked up at Lan Bai in panic: "Really?"
It's not that he didn't believe it, it's that he didn't dare to believe it. He was frightened by the environment and thought he couldn't believe it. But if he traced the root of the problem, he knew he had to go home.
Lan Bai nodded.
Huang Bai took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Okay."
He looked at Lan Bai and said in his heart word by word, I believe you, you can't let me down.
Lan Bai smiled at Huang Bai, turned around and continued searching.
Hongbai disassembled the pistol and found only one bullet inside. She took out the bullet and tried to check the other parts. The other parts were all usable, but it was a little stagnant. Perhaps it was because it had not been used for a while and no one paid attention to its maintenance.
Hongbai happily wrapped the small pistol in a handkerchief, put it carefully into her own package, and zipped up her bag. She thought, this way, the pistol would be safe.
Lan Bai found a piece of paper that was part of a notebook and came with a note.
Note content: I want to be a good cafeteria worker
I hope everyone likes me
Everyone hates me
I do not understand
I've been killing people.
Those are ducks, just ducks, what else? Ducks, ducks
There are no rats here!
The word "murder" has been blurred, and the author is obviously not very confident in his own cognition.
Paper content: There are no mice here
The ducks are so noisy
I am best at making duck neck. Everyone likes to eat the duck neck I make. This is duck neck, what else can it be?
Nothing, just a duck neck, how can they say it is a rat? How abominable! They are all ungrateful people who ruin the reputation of the school.
Don't they remember what happened before? Didn't they say, the mouse is here? Where is it? Can't they see it?
Am I wrong? I saw it clearly! I heard it too. It was a mouse. There was no duck. No.
I am sick, very sick, and the school wants to give me a pension
The term "pension" has been blurred and replaced by "compensation".
I have received a month's salary in advance. If the hospital cannot treat me, is that a penalty? Triple salary, this is the first time I have received it without working overtime.
They told me it was a green pepper, but what I saw was a caterpillar. I saw it, but I was wrong.
I am going to meet someone and then I can go home and rest, but who am I going to meet?
They told me, I don't remember, I was very sick, the doctor told me clearly that I was not sick
The doctor changed his words. He said I was very ill. I took the medicine, but I felt worse. I couldn't breathe and was too sleepy to open my eyes. I saw a lot of mice and cabbage worms. They were all worms and mice. There were no ducks or people. What was that? The person lying on the chopping board was a living person. He died and turned into a duck.
