Chapter 51 The Great Campus Escape (5)
The box was completely full of gold and silver jewelry!
At first glance, the dazzling gold and glittering jewels almost blinded her instantly!
Lin Chujiu looked at the treasures in front of her and gave a silly, dreamy smile.
Even Mingdu, sensing the commotion, changed his previous nonchalant attitude and came over to investigate.
"Fifty-fifty." Mingdu made the final decision.
Lin Chujiu heard him speak and imagined that half of the jewelry in front of her had suddenly disappeared.
She instantly felt wronged.
Mingdu noticed her grievance and said coolly, "Do you think you can protect the remaining half box without me?"
Lin Chujiu, recalling his terrifying fighting prowess, flinched and forced a fawning smile:
"Fifty-fifty, it's fifty-fifty, it's great to follow Brother Ming!"
Upon hearing her address, Mingdu snapped his fingers with a cold laugh.
Half of the gold and silver jewelry in the box disappeared instantly.
Lin Chujiu felt a pang of pain in her heart as she looked at the money that had suddenly decreased.
However, I was somewhat surprised to see Mingdu snap his fingers.
His snapping fingers seemed magical, always managing to unleash some strange but powerful abilities.
Mingdu was in a good mood after receiving the money.
Lin Chujiu hugged the remaining boxes and chuckled foolishly.
She rummaged through the box and found a few scraps of paper inside.
Oh, no, to be precise, it's a clue.
However, compared to these treasures, those few clues looked like nothing more than waste paper.
Lin Chujiu glanced at the contents of the paper.
"Basement: I am your father."
Lin Chujiu: ?
Was she... being greeted?
Even the viewers in the live stream couldn't help but exclaim:
[I'm dying of laughter, I'm your dad]
[Look at Jiu Jiu's bewildered expression, she's really acting like I am.]
[Isn't Jiu Jiu's challenge-solving state most relatable to ordinary people?]
Yes, they cower at the sight of evil, but become brave at the sight of money; they're just like working-class people.
[The boss is scarier than a ghost. At least the ghost doesn't make me work overtime or revise the plan ten times.]
Those who understood remained silent.
Lin Chujiu was confused, but Mingdu sensed it carefully and said with a solemn expression, "Below the lounge on the first floor, there is a basement."
The basement was so small it looked like a coffin.
Previously, due to the numerous activities of leaders in this area, Mingdu had not searched the place too thoroughly. The basement was also too small, almost blending into the floor, and he had overlooked it.
Lin Chujiu pulled him downstairs.
Although I don't know what "I am your father" means, I'll go down and take a look first.
Mingdu was startled by her pull, so his expression became a little unnatural.
This was the first time in his life that a girl had ever held his hand.
It's not that he's unpopular with the opposite sex.
Although he disliked Jiang Chaoyu, he had one thing in common with Jiang Chaoyu: they were both career-oriented.
The kind of person who only focuses on their career and has never been in a relationship.
Therefore, he rarely had the opportunity to meet girls, and he seldom participated in social activities such as parties, so most of the female ghosts in Fengdu did not know him.
Mingdu blushed slightly and forcefully shook off Lin Chujiu's hand.
Lin Chujiu was stunned by his departure, then realized that she had been a bit presumptuous.
With the clue in front of her, she had no time to worry about anything else and continued walking forward on her own.
For some reason, Mingdu felt a little regretful and missed that soft touch.
Realizing this, he suddenly shuddered.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
This woman was like a dodder flower; although somewhat clever, she was ultimately weak and useless.
Moreover, it's one thing for her to be a dodder vine, but she's also Jiang Chaoyu's dodder vine!
He could never possibly have any improper thoughts about her! Absolutely not!
But the touch was just too soft.
Mingdu stood there for a while, his left and right brains battling each other, while Lin Chujiu had already found the basement.
She found the basement by the window of the director's office and was overjoyed when she looked up and found a group of ghosts staring at her from outside!
Lin Chujiu: !
Several of them were the old men she had bullied and harassed last time.
When they saw Lin Chujiu looking over, they all widened their eyes excitedly, their eyes revealing a longing for food!
Lin Chujiu: !
Shivering.
She was truly not worthy of such intense pursuit, like being chased by hungry ghosts all over the school.
Please, please give it a more normal dungeon next time!
She quickly called for Mingdu, who came over, and a fire lotus appeared in his hand. The monsters immediately cowered and scattered like birds and beasts.
There was a combination lock on the basement entrance; it was made of iron and looked quite old.
Am I your father?
Lin Chujiu's lips twitched, then she thought of a possibility and pressed five numbers:
54188
The combination lock was successfully unlocked, incredibly quickly.
Lin Chujiu instantly felt that exchanging a greeting for such an important clue was well worth it.
Lin Chujiu took a deep breath and nervously opened the basement door.
Mingdu said it was only the size of a coffin.
If it's the size of a coffin, wouldn't it be filled with dead people?
The moment she opened the door, a blast of cold air mixed with an indescribable stench assaulted her—
Lin Chujiu suppressed the urge to vomit and looked at it shakily—
Yu Xuan was beautiful when she died, and she is still beautiful now.
She was wearing a white dress, her face was ashen, and her veins were bulging. Her eyes, which Lin Chujiu had closed with her own hands, were now wide open, staring blankly at the sky above her, as if she didn't understand why someone wanted to harm her.
And... why won't you admit that you harmed her? Why hide her in this cramped basement, preventing her from reuniting with her parents?
Looking at Yu Xuan's lifeless face, Lin Chujiu felt sad as well.
Why? She had such a bright future ahead of her, yet she was killed in a car accident at such a young age.
The perpetrator has been protected by the school and has not yet come forward.
She didn't even get to see her family after she died. Her parents knelt on the ground and begged, traveling thousands of miles to come, but they still couldn't bring their daughter's body back.
So, this is one of the reasons why the dungeon rules came into being.
That's why rules one and two repeatedly emphasize traffic safety, and rule five calls on students to ensure their own safety.
For some reason, she thought of the little orange cat again, and inexplicably felt that there seemed to be a connection between their deaths.
Lin Chujiu couldn't help but feel sad. Her mother was sick, and she had also experienced the feeling of almost losing a loved one to death.
The pain of being neither close nor distant is already a worldly sorrow; how can one bear to be heartbroken if they are completely separated?
Lin Chujiu didn't know why her face was wet. When she raised her hand to touch it, she realized that she was already in tears.
She had just, unusually, empathized with the eerie atmosphere.
Lin Chujiu wiped away her tears and said to Mingdu, who had been watching quietly from the side:
"The body has been found; she should go home now."
