Chapter 092 Side Quest
Although the action of climbing over the school wall was very cool, after entering the school, the two of them acted sneaky like thieves.
Fortunately, there is no surveillance in this world. Even if there is surveillance, there is no usable display screen. Cai Hua told her that screens are extremely scarce in this world. In addition, it can be seen in the funeral home before that the surveillance is for decoration. Therefore, as long as you avoid these ghosts of all sizes, you can avoid being discovered.
After entering the school, Lin Xi fell into confusion. She didn't know what to do.
Lin Xi was caught half an hour after entering the school. Someone, really, by Alan Jones. Alan Jones had gone out during class to check on his students. As the homeroom teacher of Class 4, Grade 6, he had to sneak in like a ghost even when he was teaching other classes. This was required by the homeroom teacher's handbook.
In the stairwell, he did not find any suspicious students, but instead found the suspicious Lin Xi.
At this moment, Allen Jones and Lin Xi looked at each other, and Allen Jones even had a headache. He lowered his voice and asked Lin Xi: "What are you doing here?"
“This is a bit of a long story.”
Aaron Jones was a staff member of Blackwater Security Company and had many years of military experience. He heard the footsteps of other class teachers and saw Lin Xi. As a living person, he did not want Lin Xi to be discovered by others, so he took Lin Xi to his
office.
The teacher's office is usually shared by several teachers, and at this time, no one was in Allen Jones' office, except for him, as other teachers were in class. Otherwise, Allen Jones would not dare to bring Lin Xi here. After arriving at the office, Allen Jones and Lin Xi had an in-depth discussion.
"So what exactly are you here for?"
Lin Xi replied: "I feel that if I stay at home all the time, I will not be able to complete requirements 2 and 3. I have not spent enough time with teachers and students. Today is already Wednesday. If I continue like this, I will fail this dungeon."
Lin Xi's reason was very positive, and Aaron Jones understood it. Then he asked, "So you came to school with your own plan. Is there anything I can help you with?"
I never thought Alan Jones would be so easy to talk to. Lin Xi didn't think Alan Jones would be so easy to talk to at first, because Alan Jones looked very fierce. Cai Hua also analyzed with her that he was a person who always put his own plans first. Alan Jones would probably dislike someone like me who suddenly disrupted his plans.
Except that he was profitable to himself.
Lin Xi quickly analyzed the situation and then spoke frankly, "I don't really have a plan. I just wanted to see if there was anything I could do to gain favor with the teachers and students. By the way, is our school still recruiting?"
Lin Xi's honesty actually made Aaron Jones a little overwhelmed.
They were truly very different people. Aaron Jones liked to make plans and then act accordingly, while Lin Xi was a spontaneous person who often did unexpected things. Aaron Jones frowned, "You came here without thinking anything?"
"Yes."
Aaron Jones sighed and shook his head: "I can't help you with this."
Lin Xi said "Oh," and after a moment, she suddenly said, "Is there anything I can help you with?" Lin Xi felt like a player on a quest, and these people were just NPCs, clicking on them from time to time to see if they could trigger a quest. It couldn't be helped, since the main quests in the world of Rule Weird Stories were so vague, it was hard to tell what to do.
Moreover, her original super operation plan was ruined because of Lin Lin.
Facing Lin Xi's question, Allen Jones's eyes lit up. He glanced at Shen Sangning and then mentioned the areas he was most concerned about. "There are a few places I haven't explored yet. One is the administration building, where the principal's office and the dean's office are located. There's also a studio theater. They said everyone would go there during the welcome party, but school has just started, and there's no sign of a welcome party at all."
Lin Xi said "Oh" again, and her not very smart little head said: "But these two places don't seem to be of any help in completing the task."
Aaron Jones shook his head. "Of course there is. This mission requires recognition, not the 'five-star reviews' I received in the previous level. If you want recognition, you must have a good understanding of the other party. This is not just about the teachers and students' understanding of us, but also our understanding of them. I think there must be something very important hidden in these two places."
Lin Xi nodded to show that he understood.
Lin Xi took out a bag of spicy strips from the snack bag that Shen Sangning was holding and asked Allen Jones if he wanted some. This was the same bag of spicy strips she had just used to trap the disobedient child ghost. She didn't give it out, and Lin Xi didn't want to eat it.
Shen Sangning kept her own share, and this one was hers, so she could give it away at will.
Aaron Jones looked at it and then shook his head: "No, thank you."
Lin Xi took it back and went out with Shen Sang Ning. What Allen Jones said made some sense, and Lin Xi had nothing to do, so she planned to go to the two places Allen Jones mentioned. She planned to go to the studio theater first. This sounded a bit strange, probably because the translation was not good. In their country, it is usually called a lecture hall or auditorium.
It must be the lecture hall, Lin Xi guessed.
The primary school is not big. In addition to the teaching building, administrative building, gymnasium, cafeteria, and some special classrooms, the independent building looks like the location of the lecture hall and the lecture hall. Lin Xi took advantage of the fact that no one was there and walked in directly. The lecture hall is usually not crowded, so Lin Xi chose to come here first.
The main door of the lecture hall was not open, so Lin Xi found the side door. It was locked, but it was only for people like Lin Xi. Shen Sang Ning walked through the wall and helped Lin Xi open the side door before Lin Xi walked in. As soon as he entered the door, Lin Xi regretted it because it was too dark inside, so dark that he couldn't see his hand in front of his face.
With the light from outside the door, one can vaguely see that it is a long and narrow corridor.
If I had known this, I should have taken the flashlight from the funeral home in the previous instance. The flashlight is really useful. The side door is a safety door, so it has a rebound function. After Lin Xi entered, he released the side door, and the side door made a "creaking" sound and slowly closed. After the side door closed, the entire corridor became darker, and Lin Xi fell into complete darkness.
Lin Xi was a little timid, which is the natural reaction of human beings to darkness.
In the darkness, a cold hand held Lin Xi's. Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, but soon calmed down. It was Shen Sang Ning's hand. She breathed a sigh of relief, and Shen Sang Ning's voice also sounded in her ears: "Lin Xi, are you scared?"
"Yeah, a little bit, but with Ningning here, it's okay."
In the darkness, Lin Xi couldn't see Chen Sangning's face, but she felt that she must be in a good mood. Indeed, she was in a good mood. She and Lin Xi were in perfect sync, and she naturally knew when Lin Xi felt scared. But after feeling scared, Lin Xi could only rely on herself.
This incident made Shen Sangning feel happy from the bottom of her heart.
"Should we back out then?"
"Ningning, can you see the road?"
"I can see that."
"Then let's go forward. Ningning, tell me what you see."
"good."
After a brief conversation, Shen Sangning took Lin Xi's hand and led her forward.
When you can't see clearly, humans will be afraid. The biggest fear for humans is the unknown. Lin Xi has seen a small test before, which tests whether a couple can completely trust each other. One person closes his eyes and the other person leads the person across the road. In fact, there is no danger, but most people will choose to stop because of fear.
Lin Xi also experienced a similar feeling at this moment.
But she trusted Shen Sangning, believing that Shen Sangning would never hurt her. She could hold Shen Sangning's hand and follow her in the darkness. In the darkness, her own breathing was particularly obvious, followed by Shen Sangning's intermittent voice. Shen Sangning only spoke when she touched something.
For example: "This corridor is very long, and there are still two-thirds of the way ahead."
"There's a room on the left that looks like a security room, but the door is closed and no one's inside."
“There are famous quotes on the walls on both sides here.”
"Lin Xi, we have reached the end of the corridor now. There is a hall in front. It is a bit like the service hall of the funeral home before, but there is no extended space on both sides. There is a double door on each side in front, which looks a bit like a movie theater." Lin Xi understood that the lecture hall was in front.
She asked again: "What's in the hall?"
"There was a red carpet under our feet and some photos hanging on the walls on both sides."
Lin Xi was a little curious: "What kind of photo is it?"
Shen Sangning held Lin Xi's hand, leaned over to take a look, and then told Lin Xi: "It seems that someone has won a prize, and everyone is taking pictures with the certificate and trophy."
Lin Xi reached out and touched the wall. Chen Sang Ning simply grabbed her hand and placed it on the photo. The photo was covered with glass, and a small sound was made when her fingers touched it. Lin Xi touched it and finally felt the photo frame. The frame was made of wood with glass in the middle. It seemed that the school valued this photo very much and even used glass to cover it.
"Is there anything stuck under the photo? What's written on the note?"
Usually, under such photos, there would be a note with details of the time and person who won the award, so Lin Xi subconsciously asked. But Shen Sang Ning said, "Wife, there is nothing."
Lin Xi was a little surprised, but perhaps this world was different from the real world, so she didn't pay much attention to it. She asked, "Are there many photos?"
Shen Sang Ning pointed at them one by one, still counting: "One, two, three..." Finally, there were fourteen on one side, and a total of twenty-eight photos were hung on the walls on both sides. Shen Sang Ning said there were a lot of people on it, and Lin Xi guessed it was a team award. In this way, this school is pretty good, and it has won many awards.
Apart from this, there was nothing else in the hall. Lin Xi turned around and headed towards the lecture hall.
