Chapter 249 Escape Room (13) - Library Investigation
Ning Shu remembered that when she was scared half to death, she didn't know where she threw the bag.
Cheng Chuan remembered to hold the watermelon box at the crucial moment, which is truly remarkable.
I must commend her; this spirit is something she should learn from.
She replied awkwardly, "I lost the bag."
Cheng Chuan looked at her in surprise, then said after a moment, "It's okay, I can handle it."
At this moment, he was extremely grateful that Wang Xue's body was a mannequin. It was not something that people with average mental fortitude could do, having to carry two dead people's legs around.
Ning Shu felt that Cheng Chuan was surrounded by an angelic halo at this moment—great, glorious, and righteous, right?
They truly are guardian angels for girls!
She immediately changed her mind, because Cheng Chuan had to carry the "legs," so she had to carry the watermelon box.
This means that she can no longer carelessly lose the box, as that would be an unforgivable offense.
Suddenly, I felt immense pressure.
After the two left the storage room, they saw the security room, which was very small and could be seen at a glance.
There was only a chair and a broken monitor screen inside, and the table was covered in dust.
The scene looked eerie no matter how you looked at it. There were people everywhere else in the school, but the security room seemed like no one had been on duty for a long time.
Well, although the layout of the secret room was a bit cramped, security guard rooms are usually located at the school gate.
Imagine a security guard booth at the school gate that has been unattended for a long time and is covered in dust.
However, there were people active inside the school, and all sorts of strange things were happening.
It's hard not to mistake it for a haunted school, especially since a murder is taking place there; the more you think about it, the more horrified you become.
For someone like Ning Shu with a strong imagination, this dungeon was simply hellish.
If being scared half to death still results in death, it's better to just let her die in the first place, otherwise the psychological trauma after being resurrected will be immense.
Cheng Chuan: "Let's go, let's go to the next place."
Ning Shu followed closely behind him, carrying the box in one hand and keeping the other free.
Cheng Chuan placed the model's leg on his right shoulder, leaving his left hand free.
Because Ning Shu was afraid to get close to Cheng Chuan, she would occasionally wipe the back of Cheng Chuan's hand with her free hand.
Suddenly, her hand was enveloped in warmth.
She was taken aback, looked down, and saw that it was Cheng Chuan who had taken her hand.
Wow! This is the first time Cheng Chuan has taken her hand!
Cheng Chuan blushed slightly and explained his actions: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Ning Shu was secretly delighted. He actually held my hand! Is he going to confess his feelings next?
She had already started imagining how they would run dungeons together and search for clues to escape the game if they were together.
Imagine what their story would be like after they left the instance.
Should she go to Shencheng to find Cheng Chuan, or should he go back to Rongcheng to find her?
Cheng Chuan's words brought her back to reality: "We're here, it's the library."
Ning Shu looked up and saw that the sign on the door did indeed say that.
After they went inside, Cheng Chuan put the mannequin's legs down and placed them in the corner of the wall.
They'll probably have to search this place for clues later, so this will be more convenient.
Seeing him like this, Ning Shu quickly put down the box in her hand. Although it wasn't real, she still felt uncomfortable.
She didn't even dare to take on the mummy in the previous Desert Quest dungeon, let alone something so fresh, and this kind of thing is always more intimidating.
The so-called library was not much bigger than a classroom, but its structure was very complicated, with various bookshelves and desks arranged behind them.
Ning Shu was surprised to find a teacher on duty here. This was a nice detail, but compared to the empty security room, it was quite unsettling.
The teacher's eyes were vacant; she only glanced up at them when they came in.
I noticed they had left their belongings in the corner, so I reminded them, "Don't forget to take them with you when you leave."
They didn't care at all what the people were doing there.
Cheng Chuan frowned, picked up his name tag, and walked up to the teacher: "Hello, we are criminal police officers here to investigate the Wang Xue murder case. What is your name?"
The man, who had been looking down, raised his head again, stared at the police ID for a while, and then said, "My surname is Wu. How can I help you?"
Cheng Chuan: "Hello, Teacher Wu, do you know Wang Xue?"
Teacher Wu seemed to be momentarily stunned: "Wang Xue? Is she the female student who was murdered?"
Cheng Chuan nodded: "Do you know where she usually sat when she was alive?"
The other person pointed to a table behind a bookshelf: "She often sits there."
Cheng Chuan thanked her and walked with Ning Shu towards the table.
The table is quite large, and like the bookshelf, it's dark in color.
They came to the table, but they weren't quite sure which specific spot the teacher was referring to.
However, the table could only seat four people, so since they were going to look at it anyway, they didn't turn around to ask.
Cheng Chuan pointed to one of the counters facing the teachers and said to Ning Shu, "Wang Xue might sit in this seat."
Ning Shu glanced at it: "Because it's facing the teacher?"
This way, the teacher can remember the person's face; otherwise, it would be unlikely that they would know the answer just by asking.
Cheng Chuan nodded: "But let's look for other seats too. There's always a time when a person can sit in another seat."
They first searched carefully around the table, where a small heart was carved in a very eye-catching place.
The light was dim, but the scratches on the table were very obvious. This is uncivilized behavior, but sometimes knowing and doing are two different things.
She touched the heart-shaped engraving, which looked like it was from a long time ago, and wondered if it had anything to do with Wang Xue.
She bent down, bringing her eyes level with the table, and noticed some ballpoint pen marks on the surface.
It's too busy, and the table is too dark, so you can't tell what's written or drawn on it at all.
Seeing her like this, Cheng Chuan assumed she had discovered something and asked a question.
Ning Shu shook her head: "I can't tell."
There were no other abnormalities, so Cheng Chuan suddenly squatted down and crawled under the table to take a look.
In movies and TV dramas, many clues often come from under tables or beds, and he wanted to see if there was a similar trick here.
Ning Shu stood to the side, watching Cheng Chuan crawl down, and found the sight somewhat amusing.
Looking at Cheng Chuan's figure sticking out from under the table, I think Cheng Chuan's body proportions are amazing, with long legs and a very thin waist.
She almost couldn't hold back her drool, so she quickly looked away, then suddenly froze.
Teacher Wu stood up at some point, staring intently at them.
That look in his eyes was very uncomfortable. Although the student NPCs were also indifferent, none of them were like him.
Ning Shu was afraid of ghosts but not people. She asked the other person unhappily, "Teacher Wu, is there something you've remembered that you want to tell us?"
Teacher Wu said unhappily, "Don't break things."
