45, eyes open(1/2)
Xie Xingyin's footsteps echoed in the long and empty corridor, and the light from his mobile phone swayed in the dark corridor, like a scene from a campus horror movie.
Walking along the corridor, there are many classrooms on both sides of the corridor, with words like "Instrument Room" and "Physics Laboratory" written on the door numbers.
Xie Xingyin unconsciously looked to the side and saw a black and white ferocious face lying on the glass window in front of him.
Xie Xingyin's heart skipped a beat, and when he took a closer look, he saw that it was a newspaper. The glass windows in these classrooms had been covered with newspapers from the inside, making it difficult to see what was in the room.
He tried pushing the door a few times and found that most of the classroom doors on the first floor were locked. The few classrooms that could be opened were also empty. No one had been there for who knows how many years. Those old desks and chairs
There was a thick layer of dust and the electric fan was covered with spider webs, which looked quite scary at first glance.
Xie Xingyin rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in these classrooms to find things, and opened the drawers of each desk and took a look.
He groped along the first floor, and when he came across a door that could be opened, he opened it and took a look to see if the doll was inside.
Xie Xingyin opened the doors of seven or eight empty classrooms in a row, but found nothing. The empty classrooms on the first floor only had textbooks, experimental instruments, reagents and the like piled randomly, and he didn't see anything that didn't belong to this experimental building.
This experimental building was lifeless and eerily quiet. In the darkness, the only sounds that could be heard were Xie Xingyin's intermittent footsteps and the harsh "squeak" when the door was pushed open.
After going around three corners in a row, Xie Xingyin roughly figured out the structure of this experimental building.
The laboratory building consists of four buildings spliced together to form a closed loop, showing a "口" shape. In the center of the "口" character is a square open space, which may have been a small garden originally, and several flower beds can be vaguely recognized.
Things like stone benches are now almost overrun by weeds.
In the center of the small garden grew a peach tree, full of blood-red peach blossoms, which were very eye-catching.
Xie Xingyin hesitated and couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
Most peach blossoms bloom in March and April. It's already summer, but the peach blossoms in this laboratory building are still in full bloom?
This peach tree is also called ghost worry wood, and it is said to ward off evil spirits. But the peach tree in the flower bed is evil, and the peach blossoms on the tree are unusually red. Xie Xingyin squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and felt that
The shape of the flowers resembles the bloody handprints of babies.
But there was a wall and glass between the experimental building and the central flower bed. He couldn't get closer and took a closer look. He could only walk around the first floor of the teaching building.
When Xie Xingyin made a full circle on the first floor and walked back to the screen wall, he was stunned.
The door he came in just now is gone.
Xie Xingyin carefully confirmed that the screen wall was no different from the ones he had seen before. However, he still took a lucky attitude. Maybe he had made a mistake. There were two screen walls in the experimental building, and he accidentally
Went somewhere else.
Consoling himself in this way, Xie Xingyin turned around and retreated from the original path.
This time he carefully followed the route he had taken, checking the classrooms he passed along the way, then walked around and returned to the screen wall.
Looking again, Xie Xingyin broke into a cold sweat.
The paper-white screen wall still stands there, and the door is still missing.
It's broken. Maybe it was hit by a ghost.
The so-called ghost hitting the wall is the legendary ghost riding on the neck, so no matter how you go, you will eventually return to the same place.
Xie Xingyin looked up at the screen wall and felt panicked.
Isn't it said that this wall is to ward off evil spirits? It is actually haunted.
It's not a good time to go out during the Ghost Festival, and now he can't even find the door.
Xie Xingyin subconsciously raised his hand to touch his neck. It was okay, okay, there was nothing.
Now he was sure that there must be something wrong with the "President of Night Talk Club" who guided them here. Xu Lele had told him not to go to the back mountain, but the unlucky president insisted on asking him to come to the back mountain alone.
Xie Xingyin wondered in his heart whether the door would reappear if he found the doll.
Just when he was hesitating, the string of prayer beads on his wrist seemed to move. Using the light of his mobile phone, Xie Xingyin saw that the Arhat on the first prayer bead had changed. He didn't know when it had opened its eyes.
Arhat's angry-eyed expression was filled with awe-inspiring righteousness, and Xie Xingyin felt the biting chill that had invaded him shrink back a bit.
He fiddled with the string of prayer beads, not knowing what it meant when the beads suddenly opened their eyes.
After playing with it twice, Xie Xingyin heard a scream.
At first he thought it was the Arhat on the Buddhist bead who was shouting. After listening carefully, he found that the shout was coming from behind the screen wall.
The screams that echoed in the corridor were shrill and terrifying, and those bloody screams could never be made by normal people.
Xie Xingyin pinched the string of beads subconsciously, then pulled out the saber and held it in his hand. He held up his mobile phone for lighting in one hand and slowly reached behind the screen wall.
A white light flashed in front of his eyes. Before Xie Xingyin had time to react, he saw a white shadow passing under his eyes and quickly running away into the distance.
The white shadow fled at an extremely fast speed, which was beyond the ability of ordinary creatures. Xie Xingyin hurriedly chased after it, and soon it disappeared around the corner in front.
Although it was only a blink of an eye, Xie Xingyin could roughly see what the white thing was. A layer of cold sweat broke out in his palms.
It's not a mouse. It's a white child.
Xie Xingyin could almost hear his own heartbeat, and bravely walked towards the corner where it disappeared.
Turning the corner, he saw an elevator. The electric floor indicator light was on and there was electricity. The child's shadow disappeared.
The moment Xie Xingyin approached, the elevator door in front of him opened on its own, as if inviting him in.
Xie Xingyin looked at the pale light in the elevator car and stopped.
Because of his experience in Wangchuan Apartment, his impression of elevators was not very good. What's more, Xie Xingyin was alone now, so entering a claustrophobic space such as an elevator was definitely not a wise choice.
Xie Xingyin looked at the elevator for a few times, then turned around and left, planning to find a staircase.
He counted before entering the building and found that there were four floors in this experimental building. If he moved faster, he could search every floor before dawn.
Even though he said that, Xie Xingyin's face still didn't look very good.
I'm just afraid that there is something unclean in this building, or that the doll is hidden in some very secret place.
Following the fluorescent signs on the safe passage, Xie Xingyin quickly found the stairs.
The stairwell was pitch dark with no lights. He turned on the light on his mobile phone to the maximum, then bravely walked in.
The moment Xie Xingyin let go, the heavy fire door behind him closed with a bang, leaving him alone in the dark stairwell.
The stairwell was filled with a damp musty smell, and there were sporadic mildew spots on the walls, which looked like patches of black shadow.
Xie Xingyin used his mobile phone to take a picture upwards. There was nothing on the upper steps, and he couldn't see anything further up.
He bravely walked up a few steps and heard a faint sound above his head, like a baby's cry.
Why is there a baby crying in the laboratory building?
Xie Xingyin thought of the white child he saw just now, and it was almost likely that it was causing trouble. It just wanted to lure Xie Xingyin into the elevator, but he didn't know what it was trying to do.
Xie Xingyin didn't fulfill its wish. He walked up the steps and soon saw the fire door on the second floor.
Just as he was about to open the door, there was suddenly a sound of footsteps approaching from far behind, as if something was hurrying up the stairs.
Xie Xingyin suddenly became excited, grasped the saber tightly with his backhand, and flashed the light of his mobile phone behind his back.
No one was seen, and the footsteps also disappeared.
He was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he lowered his head and suddenly saw a pair of shoes behind him.
Xie Xingyin subconsciously turned around and stabbed the knife with his backhand, but it missed him - it turned out that there was only a pair of shoes behind him, but no one was seen.
No one knew how these shoes suddenly appeared behind him.
Xie Xingyin swallowed, suppressed the panic in his heart, and hurriedly opened the fire door leading to the second floor.
He walked into the corridor on the second floor, and before closing the door, he looked back unexpectedly. He saw that the toes of the shoes had turned around at some point, as if there was an invisible person facing him.
Xie Xingyin cursed secretly in his mind, closed the door with a bang, and walked into the corridor on the second floor without looking back.
The layout of the corridor on the second floor is basically the same as that on the first floor, except that there is no glass wall on the second floor. Standing next to the railing and looking down, you can directly see the things in the central garden.
Xie Xingyin walked to the railing and looked down, his expression gradually becoming serious.
The red color on the peach tree looked like splashed paint or splattered blood, it was extremely red.
There is indeed something wrong with this damn place.
Xie Xingyin regretted a little, not listening to Xu Lele's advice and coming to this ghost place alone.
He couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and open the contacts, wanting to call someone. But as soon as he opened Xu Lele's call bar, Xie Xingyin silently closed it.
This place might not let him get what he wanted. If the call was really dialed, no one knew whether it would be Xu Lele or something else who was talking to him on the other side.
The battery of the mobile phone is still 65%, and Xie Xingyin plans to make a quick decision.
He steeled himself and walked around the corridor on the second floor, searching all the accessible classrooms, not even the pitch-black bathroom.
I didn’t see any dolls on the second floor.
Xie Xingyin had to go back to the stairs, opened the door again and walked in. The strange pair of shoes just now were gone.
Xie Xingyin didn't want it to catch up again, so he almost ran to the third floor, rushed out and closed the door.
The layout of the third floor is still the same classroom room. Xie Xingyin searched around, but found nothing, and the phone's battery was still 55%.
This crappy phone consumes too much power. Xie Xingyin didn’t want to be blinded in the dark in this damn place, so he had to dim the brightness a little.
The ghost baby's cry just now came from above. It was probably on the fourth floor.
