Chapter 53
The task force was exchanging ideas. Li Yang followed Zhou Du closely. A man next to Ma Tui gave the divination result: "The information I got is that all the students are still on campus. Have you confirmed that all places have been searched?"
A team member named Cheng Yuan shook his head and said, "We turned it upside down, but couldn't find it."
"Where else could it be? There's no bad aura here, and I don't know what evil thing could be causing this."
In fact, the fact that the case was assigned to them meant that there must be supernatural power involved. After all, it is impossible for a person to disappear out of thin air, so they had no doubt about this.
The task force members were all confused. "How about we look for it again and figure it out as we go along?"
Ma Dui took a cigarette out of the cigarette box, put it in his mouth, and asked Zhou Du as he lit it: "Old Zhou, what do you think?"
Zhou Du asked Li Yang again: "What do you have to say?"
Li Yang's thoughts were free and his brain was working, but he was suddenly called by his name. His eyes widened slightly and focused, but he didn't react yet.
Ma Dui exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a happy smile: "Let me ask you, why are you making things difficult for your kid? Is he the advisor or are you the advisor?"
"How did the compass react?" Li Yang came back to his senses and asked.
Cheng Yuan: “Normal.”
Li Yang's voice was cold and clear, "I have a guess, but it may not be correct."
"Some time ago, our kindergarten went to Hong Kong for an exchange, and some children were dragged into another dimension. Zhou Du and I also entered the dimension of a bracelet once. It will form what you said, the person is still here, but can't be found or seen."
As the cavalry listened, their eyes slowly narrowed under the smoke.
"So I was wondering if those missing students were also pulled into the different dimension." Li Yang only thought of this when the task force told him the divination results.
Since they are still on campus, and ordinary search methods cannot find them, can we think in this direction?
But he couldn't be completely sure, because -
"That time in Hong Kong City, the magnetic field was not right. The compass reacted very violently, and the bracelet also emitted a negative energy."
Both times there were traces.
But this time, there was no bad smell.
The cavalry threw the cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it with their shoes, wrapped it in paper towels and threw it into a nearby trash can.
"What driver Xiao Li said is very likely. We can indeed think in this direction."
Everyone nodded as they thought about it.
I have to say that according to the current situation, the only explanation is the same place in different time and space.
There are also records of silent and alien spaces, but they are relatively rare.
The horse team looked at the team members, "Creating an alien space requires a medium, just like the bracelet." He had also heard about the incident in Gangcheng, the kindergarten, "Gangcheng was also used by the evil spirit to borrow the formation."
"Whether it's a formation or a medium, unusual items are always needed. In this way, isn't it much clearer?"
Everyone nodded.
So what are you waiting for! Since this is the only possibility now, don’t let it go and find it first!
Everyone split up and tried to find something in the school that could be used as a teleportation formation or medium.
Just when they were about to get separated, they were called back by the cavalry.
"First, since the alien space can include four universities, the scope must be large. There is no need to check small spaces, including indoor spaces."
"Second, the mechanism for triggering the teleportation space is still unclear, and we don't know how the entrance is opened. Be cautious when you act. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Everyone dispersed and walked in different directions.
The cavalry went to invite ordinary police officers who were there to assist the special department to go with them before the presidents of the four universities.
Following Ma's instructions, the police officer told the principal, "We may have a result soon. To avoid unnecessary danger, please ask all students to return to the dormitory and not wander around the campus."
Team Ma did not tell the principal about the possibility of Li Yang's guess. After all, they would not understand even if he told them.
Although the police uniforms carry authority, the principals still find it difficult to deal with the situation: "This... today is the weekend, we can't impose orders, students have the right to autonomy."
The police officer said something else: "You can leave the school or stay in the dormitory. You can only choose not to walk around the campus. Is that okay?"
After hearing this, the four principals felt that the students were more receptive to it. “Okay, okay, okay, let’s do it now.”
Thirty minutes later, those who wanted to go out had all gone out, while some chose to stay in the dormitory.
The four university campuses were empty, but outside they were bustling with activity.
At Nancheng University, Lu Xiaoguo was holding up his phone by the lake to take pictures of the white lake view. He was squeezed by the bustling crowd and his lower abdomen hit the fence several times. It felt like his abdominal muscles were exposed.
Everyone is recording videos to check in.
In this kind of scene, the elegant thought of admiring the lake was quickly exhausted, and Lu Xiaoguo pulled Wu Qian away from the crowd.
"I won't join in the fun anymore. It's boring, really boring." Lu Xiaoguo touched his sore belly and opened the photo album on his phone. He took hundreds of photos. Most of them were squeezed so that the lens produced blurry images. Another small number of photos were taken because the phone almost fell into the lake, so he quickly used both hands to steady it, causing his fingers to cover some of the lens. He was afraid that only a few of them would be usable.
"How about going somewhere else?"
"The only thing that's nice about NCU is the lake. There's nowhere else to go. There's a corner of the Zhouxing University library that was decorated in Harry Potter style by students. It's great for taking photos, but you can only get in with a student card." Lu Xiaoguo felt hungry after rubbing his stomach. "Forget it, let's go to the snack street."
The snack street in Nanjiang University Town is very famous, but when Lu Xiaoguo and Wu Qian went there, wow, the scene was even more frightening than Nanjiang Qingxin Lake.
But when it comes to delicious food, don’t give up easily.
Lu Xiaoguo also queued up to buy food. There were many queues. He got food from another shop and ate while waiting for food from another queue. He also packed some food to feed his colleagues and Li Dongqiang, so he grabbed a lot of brown paper food bags.
When buying grilled sausages, Lu Xiaoguo was getting tired of it and planned to buy the last portion before going back home to find Zhou Du and Li Yang.
She bit the icing on the candied strawberries. She was now eating dessert after a full stomach. She suddenly spoke to the two girls in front of her: "Sisters, which university are you from?"
The two girls turned around and saw that Lu Xiaoguo didn't look like a bad guy, so they said, "He's from the state university."
"Wow, State University? I just wanted to go to your school's library, but unfortunately I don't have a student card."
"Even if you have a student card, you can't go today."
"Ah? Why?"
"Students from our school, Qingjiang University, Heze University, and Ming'an University cannot stay in school today."
"It's not that we can't stay in school, it's just that we have to choose between going back to the dormitory and leaving the school." Another female college student corrected her companion, "So we all came out."
Lu Xiaoguo understood.
No wonder. She said, even if it is the weekend, no matter how famous the snack street is, there shouldn’t be so many people.
I took a bite of the strawberry and felt a little sour. I asked vaguely, "Is it for decoration or something?"
"No." The two female college students started chatting with her, "In the past few days, there have been disappearances in our four universities one after another, and we have called the police to investigate."
"Ah? So serious?"
"That's right." The two female students talked to Lu Xiaoguo and Wu Qian about some details and speculations circulating among students, such as someone who disappeared in the study room in the middle of the night, a perverted murderer, a serial killer, and so on.
Lu Xiaoguo felt very dangerous when he heard it, but Wu Qian didn't believe it all. She just said, "Could the office matter that the leader and Xiao Li were talking about be this case?"
"? Are they really doing office work today?" She thought they were going to the university for some novel date. "Since they are involved, this matter may not be as simple as human intervention."
They had nothing to do anyway, and when they heard that their leader and Xiao Li were handling a serious case, Lu Xiaoguo, out of kindness, committed the crime.
"Let's go, let's go find them."
Wu Qian: "Why are you looking for them?"
"Help me!"
Before Wu Qian could even finish the sentence "It would be a blessing if you don't make more trouble", Lu Xiaoguo grabbed her and pulled her away.
As Lu Xiaoguo walked away, he turned back and said to the sausage shop owner, "Boss! I don't want those ten skewers of sausage anymore!"
The boss wasn't angry. Since she didn't want it, he just gave it to another customer.
Walking out of the crowded snack street, Wu Qian breathed in the abundant air and asked, "Do we really need to go find the leader? Can you tell me how we can help?"
Lu Xiaoguo said shamelessly: "Maybe they need someone who knows how to chant scriptures?"
"…This is your only strong point."
Lu Xiaoguo thought about it and said, "Forget it. Let's find a place to sit. We have been standing for more than an hour."
However, after they walked a few steps, they found that all the shops with chairs, such as milk tea shops and coffee shops, were full of people.
Seventy to eighty percent of the students from the four universities were out looking for places to have fun, so there was no chance of getting a seat for tourists like them.
It would be fine if I didn’t think about standing for more than an hour, but as soon as I thought about it I felt like my legs were filled with lead.
Lu Xiaoguo asked Wu Qian: "Does your leg hurt?"
Wu Qian is strong and healthy. After feeling it for a while, she said, "The soles of my feet feel a little bit numb."
"My legs must be hurting a lot." She had no sense of pain, so she could only ask Wu Qian for comparison. "The leader won't use a car to handle a case, right? Let's get in the car."
Wu Qian thought it would work, so Lu Xiaoguo called Li Yang.
"Where are you?"
In Liyang, since the task force was running around searching everywhere on campus and they had enough people, he and Zhou Du decided to drive to each university to see if there were any other clues.
After visiting Qingdao University and Zhou University, I am now wandering around Heze University. The campus is so big that I received a call from Lu Xiaoguo when I was halfway around.
Li Yang went on speakerphone and answered, "At Heda University."
"We are tired from walking and want to sit in the car and eat something. Can we come and find you?"
Li Yang looked at Zhou Du. Zhou Du leaned one hand on the edge of the car window, tilted his forehead, and looked at him, but did not speak.
Two seconds later, he spoke first: "I think it's okay for them to come over. It's safer to stay together."
"It's up to you to decide."
So Li Yang said to Lu Xiaoguo, "You and Teacher Wu go to Ming'an University to wait for us. We will be there in about 20 minutes. Remember, stay at the school gate and don't walk around."
