Chapter 2 Don’t Look Back
Seeing that the bus didn’t open for a long time, the female teacher couldn’t help but speak urgently: “Students, it’s going to be dark soon, please hurry up and get off the bus!”
< br>"Yes, Master, why don't you open the door?" The passengers immediately became anxious upon hearing this, and began to urge the driver to open the door. Seeing that the driver was indifferent, some even threatened to complain against him.
“Listen to me, everyone, this driver may have mental problems! I was sitting behind him just now, and I listened to him reciting the driver’s rules in a deep voice all the way. I don’t think he will open the door for us! "A girl couldn't help but speak, and then shouted to the passengers at the door, "Brother, please open the door, it will get dark if it continues like this!"
"Yes, open the door quickly! ! Don't waste time! I heard that this school is very weird after dark." The passengers urged anxiously.
Lin Yi and Wei Liang sat relatively back, looking at the large and small bags crowded in the bus aisle. Since they couldn't get out, they simply sat in their seats and waited.
While waiting, Lin Yi clung to the car window and looked at the people outside. Although their voices were urgent, their figures remained motionless in the mist, like sculptures.
After waiting for a long time, Wei Liang couldn't help but frowned and muttered in confusion: "There's something wrong with this driver. When I came last time, the driver started driving as soon as he arrived. The door is open, why does it look like a piece of wood this time?”
At this moment, a passenger near the driver’s seat took advantage of the driver’s attention being focused on the female teacher, and looked at the door open button, and then The quick-eyed man quickly reached out his hand and pressed it quickly.
“Chi——”
The door of the bus opened to the outside with a sound, and a faint mist poured into the carriage like a wave, and the interior of the carriage soon looked like a cloud and mountain fog shroud.
"Let's go! Get off!" As the first passenger rushed off the bus, many people who had been waiting for a long time also rushed off.
The driver reacted immediately and closed the door in time, but several passengers had already got out of the car. Looking at these people who walked straight towards the female teacher after entering the school gate, he still rolled down the window. Shouted loudly: "Hey! Check to see if they have badges!"
Some of the passengers suddenly stopped, then exited the school gate and came to the bus. Just when the driver wanted to speak, the man rushed Then the driver raised his middle finger: "Sabi!"
Then he plunged into the fog without looking back.
The driver looked ugly and hammered the steering wheel: "You are a bastard! A bunch of pamphleteers are seeking death!"
"Brand?" Lin Yi was startled for a moment, and then immediately remembered Article 1 of the Student Code of Conduct. Article 2 - Except for students, all staff in the campus wear specific uniforms and wear name tags. Be wary of people without name tags and do not believe anything they say.
“Don’t get out of the car until I see it clearly!” The driver said in a low voice through gritted teeth, “Don’t worry about time, as long as you don’t enter the school, you don’t have to abide by the rules. Those people I always Something doesn’t feel right. It’s a foggy day. We might as well spend the night in the car and wait until we go to school tomorrow.” A girl wearing a sailor suit and a pink cartoon cat hairpin blew bubble gum and shrugged with disdain, "Those things are just mysteries and gimmicks to attract attention. How come it's 23 years old and still people believe it? "
Hearing these remarks, the driver couldn't help but said: "Little girl, you come here but you don't believe in the student code? You don't even memorize it, right?"
The girl weighed the pamphlet in her hand, shook her head and said with a smile: "Master, these rules are just frivolous. What's the point of them? I'll just go with you. With so many people walking together, it's always safe, right?" ?”
The driver couldn’t help but huffed when he heard this: “It’s hard to persuade someone who wants to die, little girl, you are so brave.”
The girl wanted to say something to despise the driver, but Wu Qi. The voice of the passenger who got off the bus earlier came from inside: "Master, you have a name tag, no problem!"
"Do you have a name tag?" The driver muttered, but still frowned. After thinking for a while, he asked, "The fog is so thick, can you really see clearly? Did you see the number?"
"Master, please stop being suspicious!" The girl muttered, chewing gum. Carrying a satchel in one hand, he came to the door of the car and said impatiently, "That's almost it. You can open the door, master!"
From time to time there were urging voices in the mist. Under pressure, the driver could only open the door slowly and hesitantly.
The remaining passengers began to get off the bus one after another, but the driver still reminded them to take a closer look.
Lin Yi went to the last row and patted his roommates: "Maozi, Wei Sang, Mr. Tian, Kuai Kuai, wake up, get off the car!"
Wei Liang shouted at the door of the car. : "Old Lin, hurry up, you're the only one left!"
"You go first, we'll be here soon." Mao Feiyang yawned sleepily and waved his hands.
Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly got out of the car: "Liangzi, wait for me, here it comes!"
After Lin Yi got out of the car, the driver glanced at the back seat in confusion, and then he didn't know Thinking of something, he silently withdrew his gaze.
The mountain fog was very thick. Lin Yi and others walked on the ground with ripples every step of the way, like stepping on smoke rings.
Entering the school gate, Lin Yi suddenly had the illusion that the world was leaving him, and the ground behind him seemed to be stretched countless times in an instant.
He turned around, and the strange sense of space stretching disappeared instantly. The nearby bus was still looming in the fog, but for a while he couldn't tell whether it was blue or another color. He shook his head violently and took a closer look to confirm that it was still a blue bus.
He turned to look ahead and saw that the first batch of passengers to get off the bus had disappeared into the mist along with some of the student leaders, leaving only the female teacher and a few students still greeting them.
Lin Yi looked at the female teacher's chest and saw a badge stuck there. But just when he was about to walk over with a sigh of relief, his whole body suddenly trembled.
He caught up with Wei Liang and grabbed his hand: "Liangzi, wait a minute! Don't go there!"
Wei Liang jumped a little when he was pulled, and turned his head in confusion: "What's going on?"
Lin Yi leaned forward and said in a low voice: "Don't go there, she doesn't have a name tag!"
"Ah?" Wei Liang was stunned.
"Look carefully, that badge... looks like it was drawn on paper!" Lin Yi lowered his voice and said, "Haven't you been here before? Look, that badge is real. Or is it fake?"
Wei Liang quickly calmed down and glanced at the female teacher carefully, then withdrew his gaze like a lightning bolt. He shuddered and subconsciously shrank behind Lin Yi: " Damn it! It’s really fake! What’s going on with this horse?” Turning wildly, "Damn, are they the legendary art teachers and art students?!"
"Student code! Student code!" Wei Liang muttered to himself, the irritable and dangerous atmosphere was like the smell of garlic. Lin Yi can also feel the same.
Wei Liang hurriedly said: "Street light! Yes, Old Lin, look for the street light!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi felt a breath of fresh air blowing in the fog, and the fog not far away dispersed, revealing There was a dark lamppost.
When Wei Liang saw this street lamp pole that appeared as if he heard a summons, Tianling Gai felt the air-conditioning and his body trembled faintly. He grabbed Lin Yi's wrist and trembled. The voice said: "Old Lin, don't be fooled! Look for a bright street light!"
His voice was extremely low: "I remembered! In abnormal weather, the only reliable thing is a bright street light!"
At this moment, some students around noticed something strange about Lin Yi and Wei Liang, and the female teacher also began to urge: "Classmates, come here quickly! Time is running out!"
< br>
The female teacher's calm voice seemed particularly harsh at this moment, stimulating Lin Yi and the two like a magic sound.
Other passengers also started chirping to let Lin Yi and the others pass, so as not to waste everyone's time.
Wei Liang was anxious, but he did not dare to show any abnormality.
At the critical moment, Lin Yi came up with a plan, and then said loudly: "Teacher, wait a moment, we still have roommates in the car, let's go call them!"
"You guys ...Tsk! You go back quickly!" There was a hint of urging in the female teacher's voice. "Okay teacher!" Lin Yi quickly tugged at the corner of Wei Liang's clothes, and the two of them quickly walked towards the bus at the school gate.
But before they took a few steps, there was a "rustling" sound behind them, like the sound of stones rubbing against the ground.
Something was approaching them hidden in the mist. It was not fast, but it was enough to give them a strong sense of oppression.
At this moment, the female teacher's urging voice came from behind them: "It's too slow! Go faster!"
The voice was a little stiff, but there was a sense of intolerance. A taste of doubt.
"If it's too late, just turn back."
Lin Yi and Wei Liang felt a cold air going back and forth on their spines, shuddering.
"Don't look back! Don't look back! Don't look back!" The content of the student code suddenly appeared in Lin Yi's mind.
Student Code of Conduct Article 3: If you hear footsteps or calls from behind at any time, no matter how close the footsteps are or how urgent the calls are, please don’t look back until you return. The sound of footsteps will disappear after being under a streetlight or inside a building.
"As long as you don't look back, it's theoretically safe!"
However, originally they had only walked a few meters after getting off the bus. When Lin Yi looked back, the bus was looming not far away. But when they turned around and returned along the original road, there was no trace of the bus at all. !
A weird feeling mixed with mist enveloped Lin Yi like a tide. He suddenly reacted. The mist and the brick patterns on the ground under their feet made them lose their direction. They turned around just now, but it was most likely not the case. Heading towards the school gate!
"Lost..." Lin Yi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth unwillingly.
Wei Liang also reacted belatedly, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
"Yes, once raw, second time cooked, sprinkle some cumin on the third time and serve it to the table. If I had known, I wouldn't have been a repeat customer!" Wei Liang's face was extremely ugly, the street light was nowhere to be found, and the bus was nowhere to be seen. , I’m really done for now!
Lin Yi suddenly discovered something and said in a deep voice: "Liangzi, there is also a lamppost in front of you!"
Wei Liang said with a sad face: "But Lao Lin, it didn't turn on the light!"
Lin Yi rolled up his sleeves, and the hands of the old-fashioned quartz watch on his wrist beat vigorously: "It's five-fifty-eight now, and the lights on the campus are turned on at six o'clock. In two minutes, if that light comes on, we will go there!" "
"What if it's not bright?" Wei Liang panicked subconsciously, but Lin Yi had already lowered his head and stared at the ground at his feet.
"I don't know either...so we'd better hope it's true."
Wei Liang's lips were trembling, and two contradictory emotions of calmness and fear appeared on his body at the same time. He subconsciously said: "Then, what should we do now?"
In this extremely dangerous situation, At this time, Lin Yi squatted down calmly and touched a certain pebble on the ground with his hand, "Liangzi, do you still remember Article 7 of the Student Code?"
Article 7 of the Student Code: If you If you cannot find the numbered street light at the first time, please lower your head and stare at the ground under your feet to find any reference that can make you sure that you are still on the road.
"Don't worry about what is behind us, as long as we abide by the rules, we should be safe." Lin Yi said calmly, "There are still 2 minutes... no, 1 minute and 34 seconds! We can give it a try! What do you think?"
"Whatever you think at this time, I'll play with you!" Wei Liang could clearly feel something calling him from behind.
The best case scenario is that it's really just the female teacher calling him.
"Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack..."
The sound of the scratching hands of the quartz watch and the sound of Lin Yi's increasingly precious breathing could be clearly heard in the mist.
Lin Yi's heart was beating hard, stuck in his chest and stuck in his throat. He could feel the ground under his feet changing slightly, and the texture of the cobblestone ground began to look like a python. The lines are the same...
In the flowing mist, there seemed to be eyes watching them...
From behind.
From all directions.
"17:59:57...17:59:58...17:59:59..."
Lin Yi gritted his teeth, his eyes piercing like sharp swords The fog stared straight at the street lights ahead.
「18:00:00!」
Time's up!
"Boom..."
The traditional incandescent lamp in the lamppost lights up as the power is turned on. The orange light curtain disperses the fog, forcing away the strangeness like a pair of invisible big hands. atmosphere.
The two ran away and rushed towards the street light.
Under the light, the shadows of the two people stretched behind them and penetrated into the depths of the thick fog.
Thick fog surged from all directions, and the rustling sounds became anxious and annoying. The female teacher let out a low growl, like the sound of a crawling beast rolling its throat.
The two rushed under the street lamp. Lin Yi immediately looked at the lamp post.
"Teaching Building-023"
"The scope of the teaching building..."
He collapsed and leaned against the lamppost, breathing heavily. .
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Wei Liang's frightened voice trembled.
"There are so many different things! You...look!"
Wei Liang's eyes were fixed on the front, and he saw the female teacher and several students standing not far away The thick fog everywhere stared at them like poisonous snakes, and the rolling fog made their figures looming in the dim light.
Even through the thick fog, Lin Yi could see their bloodless, pale, waxy faces.
The passengers who originally gathered around the female teacher have long since disappeared.
X023 May 6, 18:03.
Under the lamppost of S City University Teaching Building-023 Road.
Outside the range of the bright yellow incandescent light, there were crowds of people in the swirling mist, and figures hidden in the darkness stared at them like sculptures.
