Chapter 23: Stay and accompany me to do woodcarving
Nothing happened to them along the way. At most, some hanging corpse-like hangings appeared on the shadows of the trees on both sides of the road.
But it is just a visual intimidation. To the deducers, it may not even be considered a minor crisis.
They were somewhat deliberate in slowing down their pace. Therefore, when they reached the last half of the journey, there was no one in sight except for the faint light on the first floor of the dormitory building in front.
Yu Xing squinted and looked at it: "That's the position of the dormitory manager, right?"
"Yeah." In the dark environment, the one with the best eyesight was Zhao Yijiao, "That's the duty room."
The entire male dormitory building and the female dormitory building next to it were in silence. Every window was covered tightly with thick curtains, and it was impossible to see what the students inside were doing.
The only thing that is certain is that they must not have slept yet.
They were getting closer and closer to the dormitory building. The four people who had returned the latest but were most at ease vaguely heard a strange sound like chewing wood coming from the dormitory duty room. But as soon as they stepped on duty
On the ground in front of the room, the sound stopped.
The small window in the duty room was open like daytime, and the warm orange light illuminated the small room very brightly. The dormitory sister with a sweet voice was still sitting in her chair, and the tabletop in front of her was covered with some new ones.
thing.
For most of the day, every time I passed the door of the dormitory, I could always see this young female dormitory manager sitting here with a subtle smile, as if she had not moved her place all day. The female dormitory manager also raised her hand and said
They said hello: "Are you back? Today's study is over."
"Sister, the dormitory manager, it's hard work. What are you doing at night?" Wen Qinghuai would take the initiative to talk to the dormitory supervisor every time, because the inexplicable affinity of the dormitory supervisor made them feel the danger, so they worked harder before the danger broke out.
There is no escaping, you must collect as much information as possible in advance.
"We are making small wood carvings." The dormitory manager held a carving knife in her hand. She spread her hands to show them the small half of the finished product. The palm-sized wood in her hand carved a rough outline, which was uncomfortable.
What's interesting is that another baby's head was carved out of this piece of wood.
During the day she poked wool felt there with great interest, and at night she started making wood carvings, but the subject was always a small baby's head. Yu Xing glanced at the belly of the dormitory without trace, and this obvious reminder couldn't help but
He did not doubt that the abnormality on the boarder's body might be related to the "child".
Unfortunately, the desk in the dormitory's duty room blocked the dormitory's belly. Yu Xing didn't see anything. He looked away and said with a smile: "It's very beautiful. Let's not disturb the artistic creation of the dormitory sister. Let's go upstairs first."
Already."
Every time they went upstairs or left the dormitory before, the dormitory's eyes would be glued to their backs until they were no longer visible. That strong feeling was definitely not an illusion.
Fortunately, the female dormitory just liked to stare at them and didn't do anything else. But at this moment, when Yu Xing said that they were going upstairs, an unusually friendly expression suddenly appeared on the female dormitory's face.
Smile: "Classmates, wait a moment."
The four of them paused as they planned to go upstairs.
Zhao Yijiu glanced at the dormitory supervisor with gloomy eyes. At night, all the abnormalities that had not been exposed by the teachers during the day were revealed. Who knows whether the dormitory supervisor also distinguishes between the state during the day and the state at night.
"What's wrong, sister, the dormitory manager, we came back a little late, and we are in a hurry to go up and study." Wen Qinghuai deliberately showed a slightly anxious expression, but this time, the "very easy-to-talk" female dormitory manager did not respond considerately.
He put them up, but slowly stared at them with his eyes, and scratched the table with the carving knife in his hand.
A deep mark was instantly left on the desk, making them realize that the female hostess looked weak, but was actually a ruthless character who could embed a carving knife into the desk with just a scratch.
"My wood carvings have some flaws, but I am a person who likes perfection." The hostess said softly in her sweet voice, "Can you leave two people down to help me make reference?"
This kind of invitation is not a good thing, especially the voice of the female dormitory manager. It sounds very friendly during the day, but at night it floats on their faces like the hair of a female ghost, which only makes people feel uncomfortable.
Feeling chilly.
Zhao Mou knew very well that the best excuse for this school was to study. Regardless of whether others believed it or not, as long as he was from the perspective of studying, he had to let him go no matter how reluctant he was, because there were regulations in the school rules not to deliberately disturb or interfere with other people's studies.
He showed a polite but clearly rejecting smile: "Sister, dormitory manager, it's already so late, why don't we stay here? Don't you have to check your bed at night?"
"Stay here and help me. Just come up with me during bedtime check. I will remember that you helped me." The female dormitory tilted her head and became predictably difficult.
"Sister, dormitory manager, it's not that we don't want to accompany you to make wood carvings, it's just that time is too tight now. We will have a test next week. That test is very important to us... You should also know that every time now
Every second is time that we need to seize." Zhao Mou naturally has his own methods for dealing with nonsense, "and making wood carvings may be too much for us..."
He left his words unsaid, as if he didn't want to say anything too harshly, and could only express his feelings without conveying them.
Zhao Yijiu was also his younger brother after all, and he had a certain tacit understanding on this kind of thing, so he acted like a character who didn't know how to look at faces and had low emotional intelligence. Before the female dormitory manager spoke, he said: "Originally, where are we now?"
I have this free time to make wood carvings with you."
Zhao Mou pretended to be embarrassed: "Why are you talking to the dormitory sister like that..."
Zhao Yijiu's cold tone was perfect at this moment: "Because she is wasting my time studying."
The hostess's opened mouth was closed, probably because the words she had planned were blocked by Zhao Yijiao's disrespectful words.
Yu Xing watched from the side, not missing a single expression of the female dormitory. He found that after being rejected, the female dormitory was not like Jack who couldn't hide her ferocious smile. Her smile was as fake as that of the chef in the cafeteria.
and fixed.
Finally, the female hostess spoke again after a few seconds of silence: "Leave two people to stay with me."
Not a request, but a command.
The scene fell into a stalemate for a while. When a person who was suspected of harming them gave up his excuse and became extremely straightforward, then the words could not have the proper rejection effect.
Wen Qinghuai frowned inwardly, considering whether to say that this was against school rules and that they could file a complaint against her.
Falling out with the dormitory manager on the first day will definitely do more harm than good. They still need to live in the dormitory for several days, not to mention that they have to go to bed every night. Who knows that after breaking up with the female dormitory manager,
What kind of things will be done in these necessary processes?
Yu Xing chuckled lightly and started to delay from a different angle: "Sister, dormitory manager, what kind of artwork is so important that it must be completed tonight?"
This question made the female dormitory's expression freeze for a moment. She looked down at the half-carved wood carving, as if she was a little troubled.
So far, this is the only question that changes the host's expression. Everyone is shocked, knowing that the thing represented by this wooden sculpture may have an abnormal effect on the female host.
"It looks like a little baby. Do you like babies very much?" Yu Xing smiled. When it comes to poking at the heart, who is better than him, "Or are you trying to carve out the appearance of your own child? I didn't expect the dormitory sister.
She looks so young and already has a baby."
The corner of the female dormitory's mouth seemed to twitch uncontrollably. Her eyes slowly gathered, and finally she stared at Yu Xing completely. After looking at Yu Xing for a moment, a look of confusion seemed to flash through her eyes.
This emotion was so subtle that only Yu Xing, who was looking at her, could detect it. He saw the female dormitory's brows frown slightly, and at this moment, he felt like a robot with a conflicting program.
After a moment, she ignored Yu Xing's question, returned to her sweet smile, and then gave a concessionary explanation: "I don't want to waste your time either."
"But there are still two people who have not been punished tonight."
punish?
Yu Xing raised his eyebrows. He remembered what he had mentioned to Zhao Yijiao during the evening self-study. They might have triggered certain conditions unknowingly, so there would be ghosts coming to the door.
It's just that he wasn't sure at first whether the triggering condition was met by only the two of them and people like Qu Xianqing who left the classroom, or whether it was met by all the five deducers who came in.
From what the female dormitory manager said, it should be the latter.
Both he and Zhao Yijiu had experienced attacks by ghosts, but Zhao Mou and Wen Qinghuai, who had been in the classroom, seemed to be okay, and they had not heard any mention of being haunted by ghosts in the classroom.
In other words, the female hostel's unexpected invitation was actually making up for the attack that didn't come during evening study hall?
"Winter and Derek," the female dormitory manager said even though she made her words clear, she still had an attitude of wanting to complete this matter, her sweet smile was extremely oozing, "I would like you two to stay and help me.
La?"
The determination in the painting clearly means that he planned to keep the two of them from the beginning.
Zhao Mou and Wen Qinghuai looked at each other and understood that this invitation was mandatory and they might not be able to avoid it.
"I want to ask, what will happen if they don't agree to help, or if I plan to replace one of them?" Yu Xing plans to continue to take advantage of the female dormitory manager. After all, the female dormitory manager will also give them a chance.
A lot of information was exposed.
"No, I won't agree to you exchanging them." The female hostess shook her head at him softly, as if she was looking at a naughty but close child, "If they keep disagreeing... tonight is the time to sleep.
It’s hard to sleep.”
Until certain conditions are met, sleep safety in the dormitory will be compromised.
After getting the information he wanted, Yu Xing helplessly spread his hands and patted Zhao Mou and Wen Qinghuai on the shoulders: "Then you can only stay and help the dormitory sister. Come on, Sam and I will go up first~"
From his performance, Zhao got a glimpse of his attitude and realized that Yu Xing should have certain thoughts about the so-called punishment.
After all, the female dormitory manager said that there were two others who had not accepted the punishment, which meant that Yu Xing and his brother had already gone through the "punishment" process. These two people did not even show any worry. I am afraid that the punishment was not very strong.
powerful.
Not very strong for deducers.
With an idea in mind, Zhao Mou nodded: "Okay."
Wen Qinghuai also sighed. He was not afraid of this. On the contrary, this was a good opportunity for him to collect information, but he still had to change his attitude.
The four of them were separated at the bottom of the dormitory building. Yu Xing and Zhao Yijiu entered the dormitory, secured the door, and asked at the same time:
"If you're worried, why not use the shadow to go down and have a look?"
"Do you need to go down and observe the dormitory?"
After the question was asked, the two of them fell silent and got the answer at the same time.
Don't worry, no need.
"There is nothing to worry about this kind of attack." Zhao Yijiu took the lead to leave the door and walked towards the small space separated by the curtain. "Zhao Mou is very smart, and he also has some carving skills. If he is only controlled by the female dormitory,
If he's in trouble, he won't suffer."
"Yes, since it is a supplementary punishment, it should be about the same difficulty as the attacks we experienced. Even ordinary students have a chance of surviving this kind of attack. How could Zhao Mou be stumped?" Yu Xing smiled.
Ying He said, "There is also Wen Qinghuai, he is a lone wolf star performer with very strong abilities."
Although Wen Qinghuai is relatively thin and gentle, and there are not many sharp edges after being together for a long time, he has actually been a star deduction for much longer than Zhao Mou, and his deduction evaluation is also very high. He has always occupied a high position in the deduction video sales area.
What do these two people have to worry about? When they argued there, they were just trying to see if they could refuse the demands of these school employees through words.
"Yu Xing." Zhao Yijiu suddenly called him in a deep voice, his tone becoming a little gloomy, "Someone touched my things."
Yu Xing was startled, then realized what he was doing and looked into his cubicle. On the desk were the textbooks that he had spread out when he went to study in the evening, and some of the ornaments were basically there, but for those who pay attention to details, only
You need to be able to see the signs of something being tampered with at a glance.
"Oops, someone also touched my things. It seems that someone entered our dormitory when we went to study in the evening." There was no surprise in his tone.
Zhao Yijiu turned around and suddenly remembered something: "Did you come in to search for the missing book in the library while we were away?"
Although they had been wrangling with Director Jean for a long time, and Jean seemed to be persuaded by them, they still had suspicions, so there were traces of sneaking into their dormitory and looking through their things.
The key is...
Zhao Yijiu looked at Yu Xing: "Where is the book? Is it still there?"
