A faint scraping sound of the manhole cover was heard. The death knell pulled Faris and quietly climbed up from the sewer to the ground. He landed on the soft lawn. He looked around and felt that the scenery here was quite good.
Because anti-everything spreads its darkness, the city is now filled with black fog. However, this is not a big problem for Su Ming, as it does not affect his vision anyway.
On the campus that is so quiet that you can almost hear your own breathing, the buildings on the campus are shrouded in darkness. There is no noise of students going to and from class, but the air is strangely filled with paper and...
The smell of ink.
The most eye-catching teaching building is a Gothic building. This scene in the dark reminded Su Ming of a vampire's lair.
But that's just saying, it's not that eerie, just a little bit.
Its windows are closed, the steps in front of the door are covered with fallen leaves that have not been swept away, and the bell tower at the top is silent, as if time has stopped at this moment.
From the garden where the two of them are now, there is a path that leads directly to the road in front of the teaching building. A white flower plant is planted on both sides of the path. At this time, the white petals are covered with stone slabs, which looks a bit dazzling in the dark.
As for the buildings behind the teaching building, they appear to be rows of dormitory buildings. Their exterior walls have been eroded by time and are mottled in color. This is not where you should do your cloze.
"Let's go into the teaching building and speak quietly to avoid being discovered by the counterattack."
After the investigation, Su Ming led Faris forward quickly on the trail. Both of them were very quiet. It must be said that this alien race, which looks like a giant womb, is much more flexible than it looks.
At least there is no sound of sticky objects moving on the ground when walking around, it seems to be floating.
Leaving the grass in the school and coming to the central square, a sculpture stood silently, but it was severely weathered, and it could only be roughly seen that it looked like a woman.
Su Ming stared at her face carefully and felt that she had some similarities with the Seven Fairies, but that was all.
After walking around the statue, the teaching building was right in front of him. The door was unlocked, so he pulled Faris and ducked in.
It has to be said that human instinct made him feel a lot safer when he entered the building in the dark environment.
But this is just an illusion. You cannot relax your vigilance. The counterattack may find itself at any time. After all, the confrontation between the dark concepts of the two sides is like beating water with water. There may be a slight fluctuation, and the darkness that covers you may become the darkness that exposes you.
Signal.
"Coming in."
Farris looked around, as if he was curious about the buildings of this era:
"This is the realm of the gods, so this school should also be the embodiment of a certain concept, and it appears in this image in your eyes, and then I see it. Now I am very touched. I feel that there is something between us.
There was a deeper connection, a certain fusion of our minds.”
"Uh, that's good, haha." This statement sounded fine, but Su Ming didn't know why, but it always felt a bit strange.
Maybe it’s because I don’t want to mingle with alien creatures?
"You think the puzzle is here, right? The internal space of this building is quite large. Does it have a specific goal?" Faris didn't notice anything. He waved his two tentacles happily, like the first
The same goes for children who go to school at once.
"Well, because of the existence of anti-everything, I can't use darkness to investigate the surrounding situation, so I still have to use my naked eyes." Su Ming pointed to his one eye and replied: "So the next steps may not be what you think.
It’s so easy, we have to use the process of elimination and check every classroom and office in this building to find a place where we can fill in the answers to the riddle.”
"Understood, do we need to split up?" The tentacle pointed to the corridor on the side. It seemed to want to go there alone and let Deathstroke go to the other side.
"No, dividing the troops is definitely a taboo. I hate dividing the troops the most." Deathstroke immediately refused, and he even reached out to grab the huge meat pot: "It's not that I have no clues at all. Let's investigate and 'Seven' first.
Number-related classrooms and offices, and besides, I’m still the symbiote host, and Strangler will also check it for me, which is very fast.”
Don't ask why it's seven again. Su Ming doesn't have to worry about this number now. He can just use it as a constant of the universe itself, just like using pi.
Everyone can use pi, but few people really calculate it because there is no need.
"Okay." The big gourd made a submissive voice. He held his little weapon and quietly followed the death knell. In the empty teaching building, he was ready to rummage through the boxes at any time.
There are only a few classrooms related to the number '7', such as Class 7 of a certain grade, so they are easy to find.
Su Ming wrote the word "where" on the blackboards of these classrooms separately, but until he left the last Class 7 classroom, there was still no obvious change in the entire fourth level.
The road to the creation world has not opened, the door has not appeared, and even if it is an abstract passage, there is no shadow at all.
"It doesn't look like a classroom, Mr. Deathstroke." Faris twisted his body from side to side, probably shaking his head, and pointed at the ceiling above his head with his tentacles: "Should we go to the clock tower on the top floor to have a look?"
He is actually quite smart, and he also knows that the bell tower is a timing device. Since it needs to keep time, it should be a watch, so there is the concept of seven o'clock.
"Okay, let's go." Su Ming and he almost thought about it together. He was very sure that the place where he filled in the answer to the riddle was related to the number seven. After all, the seven fairies did not exist in vain: "Your brain is good. You are worthy of being one of the new generation of trinities.
hehe."
"Actually, I am the stupidest among the three, and my teacher D%nel is the smartest one." Its body changed like plasticine, climbing the stairs following the death knell, but it seemed as if
Going upstream: "It's a pity that he sacrificed his life for our cause, otherwise he would be happy to come and see you."
As he spoke, his mood obviously dropped again. His race's mood seems to change very quickly. If it were applied to humans, it might be somewhat mentally ill.
But Su Ming also knew about the Di% Nair he was talking about. His status among the three gourds was almost the same as Ao Shutu's status among the Weishan Emperors.
He was a good man, but unfortunately his life was not strong enough. In order to build a 'space of love', he seemed to have sacrificed himself.
"I'm also sorry that I didn't have the chance to meet that person." Su Ming said politely, and then opened the trap door at the end of the stairs: "So we must win, and humans must win."
"Yes, I believe you, Mr. Deathstroke. Mr. Franklin once said that you are a man who can create miracles."
The leaf-like objects at the top of Faris's two tentacles are rolled up, as if they are clenching fists to cheer the death knell.
