Chapter 45
Jiang Yunu's reaction was very calm: "Oh, so that's it."
Joyson waited, and waited again.
He shared this "shocking news" with great excitement and felt that it should bring some excitement to people.
So, this is Jiang Yunu's reaction?
The red-haired boy was not quite sure what to believe. He was sitting next to Jiang Yunu, and the distance between them was quite close. Seeing that Jiang Yunu had listened to his sharing and did not even want to say a few extra words of reflection, Jiang Yunu's eyes almost fell back to the other party's personal terminal, and it seemed that he wanted to continue reading two pages of information——
"..."Joyson raised a finger and silently pushed away the floating screen touch in front of Jiang Yunu.
The information page in front of Jiang Yunu slid away, and instead, Qiao Yisen's face stretched out towards him.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Yunu lowered his head and asked Joeysen's face.
Qiao Yisen stubbornly occupied Jiang Yunu's field of vision. He said, "I was just asking you why. Why did you only react so briefly?"
Jiang Yunu was unable to continue reading the information for the time being. She looked very strange, as if she thought Joyson was fussing about something completely unnecessary.
"Isn't it just that the school is haunted?" Jiang Yunu said, "This kind of thing is very common. Almost every school has rumors of being haunted."
Jiang Yunu's tone was calm and firm, which made Joeysen look conflicted.
"But...but this time they said that a senior saw it with his own eyes?" Joyson tried to emphasize the unusualness of this rumor.
Jiang Yunu remained calm.
The advantage of having gone to school for an extra lifetime is reflected here. Although the schools that Jiang Yunu attended in the past are completely different in nature from the School of Supernatural Powers, in terms of "common and popular rumors on campus", all schools have a certain commonality that transcends time and space.
"It's not that bad," Jiang Yunu said with considerable experience. "Sometimes, when it comes to hauntings, we hear about seniors encountering them, sometimes juniors, and sometimes 'a teacher on duty' seeing them. But I generally treat them as just rumors unless I personally encounter them and witness them with my own eyes."
Jiang Yunu believes that seeing is believing when it comes to ghost stories, and she doesn't mind any hearsay.
She patted Joyson's head, which was still in front of her, and then unceremoniously pressed her palm on his head, pushing him away.
"Well, this news isn't as interesting to me as the 'Crystal Core Team' you mentioned earlier," she said as she pushed Joyson away. "Anyway, whether there's a ghost in the multi-purpose building or not, it won't affect our flight tomorrow morning."
That’s true.
Joyson was obviously more interested in "hauntings". The haunted rumors of the multi-purpose building made him both excited and scared.
But fear did not affect his desire to experience the simulation cabin.
The last half-day class on Friday is over, and Friday night represents the arrival of a wonderful weekend.
In order to avoid the dilemma of having to stay up late to finish work after getting off the plane last Sunday, Jiang Yunu started doing her homework on Friday night and finished all the work that could be done immediately in one go, so that she could concentrate on the simulation cabin for the next two days.
After finishing most of the homework and preparing to take a break, Jiang Yunu opened his memo again.
[Anyway, let's try to get all 32!] — The preset goal she wrote down lay quietly in her memo.
Jiang Yunu thought: Can I tick this target tomorrow night?
There are a total of four hours of computer time on Saturday.
Last weekend she spent a total of four hours on the computer and scored 10.
However, the first two hours also covered mandatory guidance and operational practice for novices. If we look at last Sunday's results alone, she could deal with 6 in two hours.
“…It seems a bit forced.”
Jiang Yunu lay on the bed and calculated over and over again, realizing that it was probably unrealistic for him to achieve his goal in one day, so he could only sigh.
never mind.
She turned over in bed and waved her hand to cancel the floating screen of the terminal.
Just catch as many as you can. It only takes one more day to catch 32, so it’s not a loss for her.
The next morning, Jiang Yunu got up fifteen minutes earlier than last week and went to the boys' dormitory.
She used the fifteen minutes of early morning wake-up time specifically to get Joyson out of bed.
Even though Joyce had promised Jiang Yunuo the night before that he would get up on time today and didn't need her to call him, and that Jiang Yunuo could just go to the South Canteen to meet him, Jiang Yunuo still came this time just to be on the safe side, knowing how much the other person could stay in bed.
It was quite unexpected that Joyson actually got up, but he looked sleepy. When he ran out to meet Jiang Yunu, he had buttoned two buttons of his clothes incorrectly.
"You don't trust me." Joyson said as he opened his mouth and yawned loudly.
Jiang Yunu looked at him twice and pointed out the problem with his friend's clothing: "Your chest button is buttoned up to your stomach."
"...Huh?" Joyson lowered his head suddenly, his mouth still open, and finally looked down and saw how ridiculously his shirt was worn. He hurriedly unbuttoned all the wrong buttons and then buttoned them again in order.
As he slammed the ball, Qiao Yisen muttered, "No wonder I felt a chill in my stomach when I ran out just now. I thought it was the wind that made me feel so cold."
The two of them quickly had breakfast in the cafeteria and then headed straight to the multi-purpose building.
On the way to the multi-purpose building, Joyson, as usual, confidently handed the task of finding the way to Jiang Yunu and let Jiang Yunu lead him.
A breakfast made him feel a little more "lively", and the excitement and eagerness to try that had been suppressed by sleepiness before also surfaced in his heart.
"I've already reviewed the computer operation procedures three times last night," Joyson said. "I shouldn't make any mistakes when I'm actually operating the computer later. I won't embarrass myself in the computer classroom, right?"
Joyson was clearly lacking in confidence.
Jiang Yunu comforted him: "It's okay. The simulator will be completely sealed after you sit in it. If you forget to operate it, the machine will automatically remind you. Besides, no one can see you inside."
For people with social anxiety, "no one can see you" is simply a blessing, and Joyson immediately felt relieved.
Jiang Yunu has a strong ability to find her way. Last week, she relied on the navigation provided by Senior Zhou to get to the multi-purpose building, but this week she was able to take the most efficient and convenient route on her own.
When the two arrived at the multi-purpose building, just like last week, all teaching areas of the school were still in energy-saving mode, with only sporadic lighting on in necessary areas.
Jiang Yunu skillfully swiped the terminal to enter the building, but when he turned around, he found Joyson hesitating in front of the gate.
Jiang Yunu: "What's wrong?"
Joyson's expression looked a bit constipated.
The red-haired boy pointed to the entire hall where only the lights in the turnstiles and elevators were on, and then gestured to Jiang Yunu and himself.
"...I suddenly remembered the ghost stories," Joyson said. "And it suddenly struck me that we're like those reckless characters in movies, TV shows, and literature who, despite having heard the rumors, still venture into dangerous territory."
Jiang Yunu: "..."
Jiang Yunu turned around and dragged Qiao Yisen directly from outside the gate into the building - Qiao Yisen had his personal terminal on his hand anyway, and once he entered the gate scanning area, the machine would automatically let him through after detecting his student identity.
"It seems you are still very optimistic." Jiang Yunu said as he dragged Joeysen away.
Joyson felt that Jiang Yunu's grip on his hand didn't seem very strong, and it didn't feel too tight or painful for him, the "hostage" person... but surprisingly, he couldn't break free at all!
He could only follow Jiang Yunu, who was shorter than him.
"What do you mean?" Joyson asked cautiously.
Jiang Yunu stuffed him and himself into the elevator and gave him a "sinister" smile.
"You positioned us both as protagonists," Jiang Yunu said, "not as cannon fodder who might just be sent off at the start."
This was purely a joke. Jiang Yunu was just following the random thoughts that popped up in Joyson's head from time to time.
However, this teasing made Joyson's face turn a little green, which combined with his hair color created a slight red and green contrasting effect.
The elevator goes directly to the floor where the computer classroom is located.
Jiang Yunu didn't care much about ghosts. When he stepped into the long corridor where the classroom was, he remembered the "corpse" he saw here last week.
She looked down the long corridor and found that the benches where people had been lying last week were empty.
It seems that this week, the students who were suspected of staying overnight in the multi-purpose building did not continue to choose to sleep here.
...Wait, could it be that when others said they saw ghosts near the computer classroom, they were referring to those people sleeping on the chairs?
A new guess suddenly popped into Jiang Yunu's mind, making her stunned for a moment.
Then I thought about it carefully and felt that this guess seemed to make sense.
Maybe that's the case - Jiang Yunu concluded in his heart.
He had no awareness at all that he might be "turning the tables".
Joyson felt that the benches that were not illuminated by the lights were too dark, so he chose to wait in a well-lit area with Jiang Yunu.
At around 6:40, a group of students gathered at the door of the computer classroom, waiting for it to open. Some of them came up the stairs from the emergency passage. As they came, they vaguely said a few words like "It's not very safe to sleep in other buildings" and "Why don't we come back here next week".
Jiang Yunu didn't listen carefully. She was busy helping Qiao Yisen, who became nervous when there were so many people around, review the computer operation procedures.
Just as Jiang Yunu was patting his chest to assure himself that there would be no problem, the classroom door opened.
"Walk!"
Jiang Yunu pulled Joyson from the outskirts of the crowd and brought him into the first wave of "vanguard" entering the classroom.
Because the two of them made the reservation at almost the same time, and there were indeed fewer people at this time in the early morning, Joyson's cabin number was next to Jiang Yunu's.
Jiang Yunu first stood outside to confirm that Joyson had boarded the plane safely. She watched the cover of the simulation cabin next to her become opaque, then turned to her own simulation cabin and stepped into the seat.
When the hatch of his simulation cabin closed in front of him and the transparent hatch turned into a fully enclosed curved screen, Jiang Yunu's mouth curled up.
She smiled a smile that showed she couldn't wait to fight.
