Chapter 469 Mysterious Campus (10)
But at this moment, a sharp old-fashioned telephone ring suddenly rang, breaking the suffocating silence.
Anong exclaimed, "Whose phone is ringing? But these days, we still have cell phones on us."
Xia Yueke was also stunned. The voice was very close to them. It should be the phone of one of the three of them ringing.
Xia Yueke touched his trouser pocket and unfortunately, he felt the phone in his hand vibrating.
Damn, it’s hers!
She took out her cell phone tremblingly, and the word "Dad" flashing on the screen made her heart beat faster.
Her hand paused above the answer button, hesitating. The rules said you couldn't answer unknown calls, but the number displayed was from her father. Was it really an unknown number? Xia Yueke was torn between her conscience and her own.
Tian Jingjing, who was standing next to her, hadn't noticed when. She looked at the caller ID and said, "Hurry up and answer it. Doesn't it say your dad? This person shouldn't be considered a stranger."
Xia Yue ignored Tian Jingjing's urging, and began to ask her questions with doubt in her heart:
"Jingjing, what exactly did the shadow you two saw in the library look like? I heard that strange marks will appear around people who are targeted, but I don't know if it's true."
Tian Jingjing's eyes flickered as she stammered, "It's just... just a black mass. There's no mark at all."
Anong also agreed: "Yes, I didn't notice it either."
Xia Yueke stared at Tian Jingjing, not missing any of her expressions:
"But I heard that the shadow will leave special marks on the soles of people's shoes. Let's take a look?"
As he spoke, he squatted down as if to check. Tian Jingjing's face suddenly changed, and he took a big step back, his voice rising:
"What are you looking at? There's no such thing. Stop imagining it and find the flagpole."
Her overreaction made Anong feel suspicious, and he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
Tian Jingjing immediately avoided her sight and said, "Let's find the flagpole quickly and talk about other things later."
The three continued to move forward, and suddenly a red figure rushed out from the thick fog, "Woo woo woo, we finally found someone!"
It was the red-haired boy. His voice was tearful and his clothes were frayed. It seemed that he had been here for some time.
Xia Yuke looked closely and found that it was the red-haired boy. He was not dead!
"Are you still okay? Where are your other good brothers? Why are they all gone?"
The red-haired boy's face paled. "I don't know. After he had an accident by the swimming pool, we all thought this game was real. We didn't dare to neglect it and went to do the mission. I didn't expect to get separated. I've been here for two hours. It's great that you showed up!"
Xia Yueke looked him up and down and found that there was nothing suspicious about him. His feet were indeed covered in mud, more than the feet of the three of them. He must have been here for a long time. It seemed that he was not lying.
"My three good sisters, please let me follow you. I promise not to hold you back and will obey you in everything!"
The red-haired boy looked pleading.
Xia Yueke, Anong and the other two had no objections, so the red-haired boy joined in.
Although Anong was a little suspicious of Tian Jingjing just now, there was no substantial evidence to prove that there was anything wrong with her. So at this time, the two of them were still walking side by side, and Xia Yueke and the red-haired boy walked behind them.
The two were about four or five meters apart. The red-haired boy looked around mysteriously, then suddenly approached Xia Yueke and said:
"Hey, do you feel something's wrong with the person in front of you?"
Xia Yueke paused when she heard that and raised her eyebrows. "Oh? Really? But you said something was wrong with them as soon as you came. Wouldn't that make me suspicious of you?"
The red-haired boy scratched his head and laughed awkwardly. "No, why don't you believe me? I came to the playground with Zhang Jiehui, but I felt something was wrong the moment he came in. He kept trying to make me break the rules. Then I got more and more scared, so I deliberately ran into the fog and finally got rid of him."
Xia Yueke said seriously: "Who is Zhang Jiehui?"
"That's the boy with the purple hair! The one who came in with the four of us!"
Xia Yueke nodded. "And then? You just kept wandering around here? Didn't you run into anyone else?"
The red-haired boy nodded immediately. "Yes, I saw that it's almost an hour or two past, and I still can't find the exit. I've been staying here for an hour, and the fog hasn't dissipated."
"So I guess the fog here won't dissipate until after school. We still have a lot of places to go, and by then it will be too late! So finding the flagpole is the only way to escape!"
The red-haired boy looked angry and stomped his feet.
"How did you realize that something was wrong with Zhang Jiehui? Besides him always trying to trick you into committing fouls, was there any other reason?"
Xia Yueke was still curious about this question. The red-haired boy didn't look very smart, but he was able to escape danger by relying on his own guess. He was really lucky.
The red-haired boy looked arrogant. "That's simple. Usually Zhang Jiehui is such an optimistic and positive person, but after entering here, he didn't say a word. He only answered what I asked, and he spoke less. It's obvious that something is wrong. I asked him, but he still didn't say anything. Isn't that arousing my suspicion?"
"The most important thing is that he walks a little strangely, like he just learned it. He even fell at first! But I noticed he walks pigeon-toed! Zhang Jiehui doesn't walk pigeon-toed. It's so obvious, how could I not see it?"
Xia Yueke nodded and went to observe Tian Jingjing's walking posture. It was not like what he said, that she couldn't walk. It was just that her speed was indeed a bit slow, and she could not keep up with Anong, and she did not have obvious pigeon-toed walking.
But Xia Yueke was suspicious no matter how he looked at it.
"So, I guess there must be something wrong with one of the two people in front, right?"
The red-haired boy put his hands on the back of his head and walked carelessly, looking not afraid at all.
Xia Yueke nodded slightly. "I want to get rid of her, but Anong might not trust me. But I'm even more worried about leaving her alone. She will definitely take advantage of her good relationship with Anong and attack her."
The red-haired boy's eyes turned, "I've got an idea!"
Then he whispered a few words in Xia Yueke's ear.
Xia Yueke nodded, "Okay, let's do it."
Xia Yueke and the red-haired boy quickly caught up with the two men, and the four of them walked.
Xia Yueke suddenly stopped and said seriously:
"I just saw something reflective over there. It's probably a flagpole! But it looks a bit dangerous there. I think it's better for us to send only one person to check it out. That way it's safer."
