Chapter 10 The Marriage of Roses (10) Article 5 is a lie
Things went very smoothly. After getting familiar with each other, she quickly extracted Yang Lili's information from the three girls.
They told Yan Jinyue that Yang Lili had very good grades and was always at the top of her grade. She also had a good personality, was gentle and kind to others.
Just——
"Just what?" Yan Jinyue asked curiously. You know, the key point is after the turning point.
"The teacher is too partial to her. All activities and rewards fall on her head. Even if others are far better than her in that category, the opportunity is all hers." said the freckled girl.
"Yeah." Another girl agreed, "We don't blame her, but it's unfair. Sometimes it's inevitable..."
"I understand." Yan Jinyue showed an expression of understanding.
"But it's okay now, she's gone anyway."
This sentence was said by a girl with freckles. Her tone was very brisk, and Yan Jinyue was keenly aware that something was wrong.
"Gone? Where?"
The freckled girl was unprepared: "I transferred to another school, it just happened two days ago."
Yan Jinyue suddenly realized that no wonder their expressions were still normal when talking about Yang Lili. It turned out that they didn't know that she was dead.
Yang Lili's death was deliberately concealed, and could only be concealed by the ghost teachers in the teaching building wearing human skins.
The cause of death is also likely to be related to them.
In this case, the idea of task two is correct. If you find the cause of Yang Lili's death, you can find the evil hidden behind the school and complete the task.
However, if they want to find the cause of death, they will inevitably have to go to the rooftop again.
But there's that terrifying vampire rose on the rooftop, and they can't deal with it yet.
Qi Yunxiao said: "For a long-term plan, we can first look for loopholes in the student handbook."
Since he decided that the student handbook was a prohibition against ghosts, Yan Jinyue acted more boldly, not attending classes if he could, and always exploiting loopholes.
Anyway, this is truancy, not tardiness.
As long as you don't get caught in the teaching building during school hours, there's basically no problem.
As for the other rules, although he was joking when he told Qi Yunxiao to "violate all the rules", Yan Jinyue still had that impulse in his heart.
In violation of the first rule "no lateness" and the second rule "no noise", teachers in the teaching building will break through the prohibition and attack. Both of these points have been confirmed.
Article 3: "If something falls on the rooftop, please ignore it, remember that it is just your imagination." This thing refers to the corpse, and the ghost is the rose branch on the rooftop that sucks human blood.
As for the fourth rule, "Do not leave the dormitory after ten o'clock in the evening, and the dormitory door cannot be opened." Yan Jinyue initially thought that this rule restricted the dormitory management, but the fifth rule, "Don't pay attention to the cry for help at night, it is just Movie recording, if you encounter difficulties, you can ask the dormitory manager for help." This made her puzzled again.
If the hostess is a ghost, why can I ask her for help?
But if the hostel is not a ghost, then why is there a fourth rule? Who is the fourth defense against?
Yan Jinyue told Qi Yunxiao her doubts, and the latter pondered for a while and said, "Maybe it's a safe house."
"Safe house?"
Qi Yunxiao explained: "A safe house is a setting in some dungeons. It is absolutely safe to stay in a certain place at a certain time, but the dungeon will not clearly inform you and can only be discovered by the players themselves."
Yan Jinyue thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed safe to stay in the dormitory at night. "In this case, does it further prove that this student handbook is a safety handbook?"
Qi Yunxiao nodded, "You can say that, but it's not necessarily... it needs further proof."
Make bold guesses and be careful with evidence.
Yan Jinyue thought about it, said goodbye to Qi Yunxiao and returned to the dormitory.
She held her watch, and at nine-fifty, she went downstairs to find the dormitory manager on time.
The dormitory manager has a special small room in the lobby on the first floor of the dormitory building. She usually sits behind the transparent window of the small room and looks outside, and only occasionally comes out.
The dormitory manager is a middle-aged woman with an ordinary appearance, a fat body, and wears half-worn clothes.
She had a low bun and a big, round face. Her eyes, which were not very big, always squinted at people, making her look very fierce and gloomy.
Yan Jinyue always thought that she was a human NPC that could turn into a ghost, but when she heard about the "safe house" setting, she thought it was not the case.
But when she came face to face with the dormitory supervisor, the look in her eyes, the moist feeling like a snake crawling on her face, was exactly the same as that of the Chinese teacher.
"You said you asked for help?" The dormitory manager's voice sounded like there was a fish bone stuck in the throat, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
"Yes." Yan Jinyue tried her best to stay calm, with a harmless smile on her face, "My faucet is broken, can you ask the maintenance master to fix it?" She looked at the time, nine o'clock. Eighteen.
"It's almost ten o'clock now, I have to come here tomorrow."
The dormitory manager's answer was normal, within Yan Jinyue's expectations.
She thanked her politely, came out of the small room, and closed the door behind her. She didn't go back the way she came, but walked towards the door. The sight behind her instantly became hot and greedy.
Nine fifty-nine forty-eight seconds.
The door to the small room opened and the dormitory manager came out.
Yan Jinyue also walked to the gate, still two steps away.
It's ten o'clock sharp.
"Didi-di-di-" the alarm rang, like a train whistle.
There were urgent footsteps behind him. Yan Jinyue quickly rushed out of the door, drew out his long knife, and swung it back.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
But she didn't stab the dormitory, but was blocked by something hard.
What blocked the knife was the large iron door of the dormitory.
The dormitory manager was blocked inside, slamming the door with a ferocious face. Her hands turned into pitch-black claws, and her long nails reflected the dim light of the night. They were sharp and terrifying, just like the ghosts in the teaching building.
The hostess is indeed a ghost.
Article 4 is a restraint mechanism, and Article 5... is a lie.
Dormitories are not safe houses either.
Although she didn't understand why a lie appeared in the "Safety Manual", in the copy world, everything that was abnormal was normal.
Fortunately, she had done a test in advance, otherwise one night, she went to the dormitory ghost for help because she believed in the safety manual, and the result could be imagined.
This one is a lie, but what about the other ones?
Yan Jinyue suddenly felt a chill in his heart, because of his previous carelessness.
She trusts her own judgment too much and is too arrogant. What if the loophole she exploited is actually fake and just used by ghosts to make her relax her vigilance...
She kept thinking and walking, and unknowingly reached the teaching building.
The teaching building at night is like a huge monster that cannot be contained at a glance. The dark night blurs the sharp edges. It lies dormant, waiting patiently for prey to come to the door, ready to attack at any time.
She looked up at the top floor and thought of the seventh rule: "Please do not go to the top floor of the teaching building, there are consequences at your own risk!!!"
Yan Jinyue had never cared much about this item, because the ghost it pointed to was Shen Wu, and Shen Wu would not hurt her, and was just a decoration to her.
But now think about it, if you compare the ghosts in the teaching building, the dormitory manager, and Shen Wu, they are actually very different.
Teachers and dormitory guards are both ghosts in human NPC shells and are subject to restrictions, but Shen Wu is different. He is a ghost to begin with.
And so was the female ghost in white who wanted to eat her.
So, is there any relationship between ghosts in human shells and ghosts themselves?
Yan Jinyue decided to go to Shen Wu to find out what happened.
But when she climbed to the top floor, she couldn't find him at all. And for some reason, the ground on this floor was full of water. It accumulated very deep and reached to her ankles. Yan Jinyue's shoes and socks were soaked through, which made her very uncomfortable.
"Shen Wu? Shen Wu?" She shouted loudly, but received no response.
She waded through the water until she reached the end of the corridor, and then she discovered that there was a recessed corner here. Because it was a blind spot, she had not noticed it before.
There was a green-painted iron door at the corner, tightly closed.
Yan Jinyue was actually a little scared to open it. Her heart almost jumped out of her throat and she kept swallowing.
But when she walked to the door, the petals on her forehead began to feel faintly hot again, but this time it was not accompanied by pain, but a comfortable warmth that spread from her forehead to her limbs.
A voice in my heart urged: Open it, open it quickly, hurry up...
Finally, she put her hand on the doorknob and pulled hard.
