Chapter 740 Fire
“After this incident, the school canceled the borrowing desk on the 4th floor and used old bookshelves and other things to isolate the place where the fire broke out.”
“But then Soon, strange things started happening on the fourth floor of the library.”
“First of all, some students reported that they could smell a burning smell when they were looking for information.”
“Some people also said that they heard books being folded on the bookshelf not far behind them. There was a sound of turning, but when I walked over and looked, I found that there was no one there.”
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng felt a little impatient.
Most of what he has heard so far is ambiguous information, and what he needs now is tangible evidence.
Otherwise, I might be in big trouble if I go to the library tonight.
Yuan Xiaoyi also seemed to realize that she was a little verbose, so she said in an apologetic voice: "Senior, don't think I'm verbose. What I want to say is that someone saw that person." At the end of the sentence In one sentence, Yuan Xiaoyi's voice suddenly changed.
Jiang Cheng raised his head and looked at Yuan Xiaoyi, "Has anyone seen that person?"
"Yes, yes." Yuan Xiaoyi recalled: "This time it was a teacher. Not long after she came to the school, she accidentally took down a book while looking for information."
"Senior, you know the bookshelves in the library." Yuan Xiaoyi explained while gesturing with her hands: "After taking down this book, the books that were originally arranged neatly on the bookshelf were left in the middle. There is a gap."
"Through the gap, you can see the back of the bookshelf."
"This female teacher. She saw a person, no, not a person, but a very tall person. Strange person.”
These sentences seem illogical and inconsistent, but they are exactly in line with the current personality created by "Yuan Xiaoyi".
Coupled with the other party's miraculous acting skills, Jiang Cheng felt that it was him, otherwise it would be easy for her to be fooled by someone else.
"Xiao Yi." Jiang Cheng called softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"That's a very tall person, a man, with golden hair." Yuan Xiao Yi emphasized, "The teacher was looking straight at the man and couldn't even see the man's shoulders."
"The man had his back to her, just across a bookshelf from her. Looking at his movements, he was also looking for a book."
"The man was dressed very strangely. He was wearing a black robe, and the texture was also very strange. In short, It’s not like people like us, like characters in foreign movies.”
"The man searched for a while, but he probably didn't find the book, so he walked away. His movements were very stiff, and he looked very uncoordinated."
"The female teacher was hiding on the bookshelf. She didn't dare to show off her anger from behind. She was sure that there would be no such person in the school. "
"In other words, this man. I'm afraid people are not human."
"Through the gap on the bookshelf, the female teacher saw the man walking away step by step and entering a place she had never seen before."
" It's the borrowing office." Yuan Xiaoyi whispered, "The burned lending office has appeared again, just at the previous location."
"The man walked in through the door, then turned around through the glass above the library desk, and sat on the chair behind the desk in the library desk."
"This is the first time the female teacher saw The front of the man is a dark, cracked face.
"The facial features can no longer be distinguished, and the entire face has been burned by the fire. The charcoal-like face is covered with cracks. Through the cracks, the red flesh and blood can be seen inside."
"The man was dressed in black. His robe has a large, exaggerated silver cross hanging on his chest."
"The cross is hung on the chest with a bronze chain, glowing with a strange glimmer in the dark."
"It doesn't feel like a decoration, but like a weapon."
"Fortunately, it didn't take long, man The people and the borrowing desk all disappeared. Only then did the female teacher dare to move. After she ran out of the fourth floor, she realized that it was dark outside. "
Yuan Xiaoyi's story ends here. It was over, but Jiang Cheng's thoughts continued.
Through the black robe and the weird silver cross, Jiang Cheng confirmed the man's identity.
It is the predecessor of the school library and the owner of the folk museum.
The foreign exorcist in Director Zhou’s story.
If the information provided by Yuan Xiaoyi is correct, then it is this guy who is about to meet them in the library tonight.
"Did Xiaohui tell me how to find her?" Jiang Cheng asked. The library should be similar to an abandoned playground or a medical building, with corresponding taboos and rules.
Yuan Xiaoyi's eyes were blank, as if she was reminiscing. After a moment, she nodded and said in a hesitant tone: "Xiaohui didn't say anything very specific. She just emphasized that you must pay attention to the sign on the library door. The words, there are clues there.”
"What's the time?"
"Midnight." Yuan Xiaoyi said: "At 12 o'clock at midnight, I stood in front of the library door. As for when it would end, Xiaohui didn't mention it."
Compared with the previous two times, there were very few clues this time, and the strange stories about the library gave Jiang Cheng an ominous premonition.
Director Zhou, the senior sister in the school doctor's office, and the Heart-Eating Demon who had invaded Yuan Xiaoyi's personality, each told Jiang Cheng a long and complicated story.
What’s even more difficult is that the stories of the three people conflict with each other.
According to Director Zhou, the exorcist died peacefully, as if he was asleep, but in Yuan Xiaoyi's story, the exorcist was more likely to die in a fire.
Before Jiang Cheng could dig deeper, his phone suddenly vibrated.
It was the fat man calling.
Jiang Cheng subconsciously looked outside the woods. Through the gaps between the leaves, he could see Fatty and the others outside. Judging from their movements, something unpleasant seemed to have happened.
"Senior." Yuan Xiaoyi blinked and said, "Your friends seem to be quarreling."
"Huh -" Chief Jiang took a breath, pursed his lips, and showed a bitter smile, "It must be because of that matter again. Some of them are opposed to helping you, thinking that the risk is too high and it is not cost-effective. ”
There was no reaction from Yuan Xiaoyi either. At the same time, Jiang Cheng looked at her with serious eyes and continued: "Xiao Yi, when I'm not here, take care of yourself and don't let me worry."
"I understand, senior." Yuan Xiao Yi lowered her head and her voice was as low as a mosquito humming.
After saying that, Jiang Cheng walked out of the woods.
As soon as I walked out of the woods, I saw the fat man talking excitedly. Huaiyi was standing with him, and standing opposite was Gao Yan.
Shen Mengyun was sandwiched between the two groups, talking to both sides. Without guessing, he knew that he was trying to comfort everyone and persuade them to calm down.
I haven’t seen Wang Qi yet and don’t know where he went.
"What are you arguing about?" Jiang Cheng walked out and said to several people.
When the fat man saw Jiang Cheng coming out, his expression improved. Huaiyi immediately explained: "Brother Jiang, Gao Yan just wanted to go in. Listen to what you are saying. Brother Fugui and I stopped him. He also We must force our way in."(End of Chapter)
