If the first three schools are connected by a staggered timeline.
What does the old campus in Baiyun Village represent?
The people in the small town live peaceful and contented lives, leading ordinary and simple lives. Haven't they noticed the problems with the old school campus?
Or is it...?
Cheng Shuang thought of the character profile she had initially obtained when she arrived in this land of death.
Fourteen-year-old Cheng Shuang has an older brother named Cheng Dong, who went missing during an interview.
In the classroom, Teacher Xue briefly mentioned Cheng Shuang's transfer information: she and her brother had returned from a big city, perhaps due to Cheng Dong's job transfer, or perhaps due to a change in their family situation...
Cheng Shuang pulled out the newspaper from her backpack and found the date of Cheng Dong's disappearance—July 20, 2015.
The new textbook she received was the 2008 revised edition, so she subconsciously thought it was 2008. But in reality, Cheng Shuang and her brother should have just moved here recently, and in 2015, Cheng Shuang on her student ID was in the second year of junior high school, class 7.
Because Cheng Dong was too busy with work or had disappeared, his sister couldn't be sure if her enrollment procedures were complete. Moreover, it was obvious that she had joined the class halfway through, without even attending the first class.
She enrolled in school around late July 2015, not long after her brother went missing.
In other words, Cheng Dong helped Cheng Shuang enroll and get her student ID, but Cheng Dong disappeared. Cheng Shuang then kept taking leave and searching for her brother with Liao Yuewei. Only after failing to find him did she return to school.
In other words, the abandoned school was abandoned shortly after Cheng Dong obtained his student ID.
Otherwise, the student ID wouldn't have the name Ying Sheng Middle School on it.
Could she guess that some people valued 'Cheng Shuang' as a sacrifice, and thus lured her brother, a reporter, into going deep into Baiyun Mountain to investigate the ghost story?
Knowing that the brother and sister had no other relatives and no time to make new friends in the new environment, they dared to plot this heinous scheme.
The young girl was unwilling to comment on the decline of morality, but reality forced her to explore the darker side of things.
To verify, she hid in the filing cabinet she had emptied and opened all the leather bags she found on the other two desks. By the dim light, she saw that the photos on them were no longer of her, but of two boys and girls who were only thirteen or fourteen years old.
The boy had delicate features, but he had faint dark circles under his eyes, making him look very depressed. He looked at least 60% similar to the old lady who died in the private school warehouse. The remaining 40% was due to differences in age and expression.
She originally thought the anchor uncle liked heavy makeup, but she didn't expect that his family had inherited dark circles under his eyes, so the makeup was probably not only a matter of personal preference, but also a way to conceal imperfections.
This boy is obviously related to the anchor uncle. Perhaps at the moment she and Liao Yuewei woke up on the second floor of the teaching building, the timeline of the girls' college was not stable in 2015. It may have been a few years earlier. Since the disappearance of Atai and the other two, there have been rumors that the school ruins are haunted. It was only after Cheng Dong learned about this that he went to investigate the truth of this news.
This piece of paper provides too little information.
Cheng Shuang could only deduce the cause and effect from the few clues she obtained.
She wanted to save the time spent studying these things and quickly send the photo album called 'Memories of Time' back, but she didn't even have a chance to leave. Where could she send it? Besides, she couldn't retrieve anything from the spatial storage right now. It was a vicious cycle!
The little girl was so frustrated that she wanted to grab her hair, but then she remembered what her gloves had touched and immediately suppressed the urge.
Her stomach was growling loudly with hunger. The teachers' office area was surrounded by darkness, making it impossible to tell the time. Strictly speaking, she hadn't eaten for at least two days and one night. She had drunk some water, though, and it was all thanks to the healing powder pills that she had managed to get to this point.
It turned out that this step was still a trap. She squatted at the bottom of the pit, looking back at her former glory... After all, she was not as good as a newcomer now. At least a newcomer had a one-day protection period!
She could only find solace when she rummaged through her schoolbag and looked at the crystals in the outer pocket.
Cheng Shuang didn't dare to get close to smell it. Although she knew very little about chemistry, she knew that some things could damage the respiratory mucosa just by smelling them. At this moment, she felt even more envious and jealous of her older brothers and sisters who had gone to middle school. It turns out that a lack of knowledge can really be deadly!
The little girl lying in the filing cabinet pouted, feeling wronged. Being too hungry caused insufficient blood supply to her brain, making her sleepy as soon as she relaxed.
The light is getting dimmer; the sun may have set.
But she dared not sleep in this place.
Blinking, Cheng Shuang looked in a distant direction to try to relieve the discomfort in her eyes, but when her gaze swept over a certain spot, she quickly looked back.
What's that sparkly thing?
The little girl cheered herself up.
She had been to the top of the filing cabinet; it was where she hid from the black bear.
Balance scale!
Cheng Shuang immediately snapped out of her daze, thought of a possibility, and jumped down from the filing cabinet, leaping onto the top of the cabinet opposite.
A layer of crystals on the petri dish gleamed with a subtle sheen.
It's not as bright as the one in the backpack, but the color is the same.
The little girl found a bunch of rusty keys, took out a used tissue from her pocket, turned it to a clean corner, and wiped off the rust to avoid any subtle chemical reaction with the crystal.
Then I started scraping with the smooth side of the key.
As soon as it was scraped down, a strong smell of sulfur wafted out.
It had a faint smell, not as strong as the one in the bag, and the color was still quite light. The little girl guessed it was a semi-finished crystal product.
But having this semi-finished product is good too!
More means more assurance.
At least she could create a protective barrier for him, allowing him to rest for a while; otherwise, she couldn't be sure if she would fall asleep instantly in a little while...
No wonder there are so few children under eighteen in the Gate of Reincarnation; it's simply cruel to make a child stay up for several nights in a row!
Perhaps because she was alone, the little girl had more and more complaints in her heart, and she no longer felt lonely.
Not all the crystallized material on the balance scale was scraped off.
She wanted to leave some room for those who came after her, in case she quickly found a way to escape and scraped off all the crystals, then it would be useless.
Cheng Shuang reassured herself, fearing that the powder might be corrosive. She found a cabinet with fewer documents, squeezed herself inside, and divided the scraped powder into three portions. She sprinkled one portion all over herself, put one portion in the other pocket of her backpack, and held the third portion in her hand.
Of course, before testing whether these crystals had the same effect as the ones her uncle had given her, the little girl also used a small amount of the original crystals, sprinkling them only on the outside of the filing cabinet, so that at least large beasts wouldn't easily approach.
She can react in time to any movement.
The little girl had considered everything quite thoroughly, but she had no experience in wilderness survival and never imagined that besides large predators, there was a creature called a reptile.
These creatures typically live in groups, cooperate, and some are even poisonous.
