Chapter 5: Shock in the Archives Room 3
"We decided to sneak into the school's academic affairs office at night and look for all the student files. Because it occurred to me that Cheng Yizhi changed his name due to family reasons, so it is very likely that he used to have his father's surname, and later changed it to his mother's. Therefore, we only need to find someone named Yizhi, and one of his parents has the surname Cheng. What do you think, my idea is great, right?" Wei Xi sat at the dining table, eating fried rice with egg, while excitedly telling Error Code 123 what happened in school today, and finally showing off to it proudly.
Error Code 123 clapped his hands desperately: "Wei Xi, you are so smart, and since Wei Lixuan's police badge is broken, no one will be able to guess your identity. We are safe now."
" Hehe, that's right, so you can rest assured. We agreed to go to school at 12 o'clock in the evening, and you just wait for my good news at home." Because she was in a good mood, Wei Xi had no objection to her mother not coming home to cook for her.
Unexpectedly, Error Code 123 shook his head and said, "No, how can I let you go out so late alone? I want to go too."
Wei Xi said unhappily, "Did you go there so that Wei Lixuan would recognize you? Stop kidding, you have an important mission to stay at home."
"What major task?" Error Code 123 asked curiously.
Wei Xi said confidently: "Of course, it's to cover me when I leave home and deal with my parents at the same time. They come back from overtime at around 10 o'clock, and there's a show my father likes at 11 o'clock. He won't go to bed until he finishes watching it, so how can I run away? So this glorious and arduous task is of course yours to complete."
Seeing that Error Code 123 seemed to want to say something, Wei Xi slammed his palm on the table and said domineeringly: "It's settled."
Error code 123 said in dissatisfaction: "Tyrant! Tyranny!"
Wei Xicai ignored its complaints. While eating, she secretly looked forward to the action in the evening.
For Wei Xi, who has always been well-behaved since childhood, nothing can go wrong with such an exciting thing.
The clock hands pointed to the scheduled departure time, but an accident still happened - my mother, who usually went to bed early, was watching TV in the living room with my father.
If only Dad was in the living room, Weixi could still find a way to get by, but Mom was much stricter than Dad. As soon as she saw Weixi, she would urge her to go to bed. What should she do?
Wei Xi was extremely anxious, but Error Code 123 just stayed in his room and didn't come out. No one knew what he was doing. Wei Xi didn't dare to knock on the door for fear of being heard by his mother.
When she stood in front of Error Code 123's door for the fifth time, the door creaked open and Error Code 123 walked out. After seeing its appearance clearly, Mi Xi was so shocked that she could hardly speak.
"Xiaoyi, where are your ears? Where is your long nose?"
Error code 123 The original pointed long nose and long ears were gone, but there was an exaggeratedly large red nose on the face, covering most of the face.
It put its finger to its lips and said "shush" softly: "Keep your voice down."
Mixi immediately lowered her voice, but was still eager to know what was going on. Error code 123 smiled mysteriously, said "Follow me", and then swaggered downstairs.
Looking at its figure, Wei Xi had no idea what it was up to, but she would be late if she didn't go out, so she quickly followed Error Code 123 and walked down.
When they walked into the living room, their mother noticed and asked angrily, "It's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet? Why is Xiaoxi wearing her going-out clothes?"
Wei Xi hesitated, not knowing how to answer, but Error Code 123 smiled and said, "The night is so beautiful tonight, so Xiao Xi and I want to go out for a walk. Dad, Mom, you guys go to bed first."
Oh my god, how could it say that? Wei Xi wanted to jump up and cover its mouth.
But something magical happened.
My mother actually smiled and said, "So that's how it is. Then you guys go out for a walk and remember to come back early."
"Okay, we got it." Error Code 123 pulled the dumbfounded Wei Xi and quickly walked out of the house.
The slightly cold night wind blew into Wei Xi's collar, making her shiver for a moment before she came to her senses: "What's going on? Why did mom let us out like this?"
Error code 123 said proudly: "Don't forget, my glasses can make people feel good and believe what I say, so mom let us out. Well, don't waste time, let's go to school."
Wei Xi almost fainted from anger: "If it's so simple, why didn't you tell me when we were eating?"
"You didn't give me a chance to say it." Error Code 123 pretended to be innocent and said, "Also, although Wei Lixuan came from the 25th century, he definitely can't resist the power of glasses without the police badge, so you don't have to worry that he will doubt our identities after seeing me. Well, when the time comes, just say I'm your brother, do you hear me? Also, in order not to be exposed, you should call me brother a few times and practice it now." The last sentence was full of smiles, which completely betrayed its little thoughts.
Seeing its smug look, Wei Xi kicked it directly: "Dream on! Also, what's wrong with your ears and nose?"
"Hehe, this is a secret, I won't tell you... Ouch, you actually kicked me... Ouch, stop kicking me, it hurts! Ouch, if I'm not your brother, how do you explain my existence? Ouch, it hurts, it hurts..."
On the quiet street, the wailing could be heard from far away.
"This is my brother, Wei Yi. He followed me here because he was worried about me coming out alone." Wei Xi introduced him to everyone helplessly.
Error code 123 put his hand on the brim of his hat and said gracefully: "Hello everyone, I am Weiyi, thank you for always taking care of Xiaoxi."
"Hello, Brother Wei Yi. Wei Xi also often takes care of us." Mamali said with a smile. Zhang Zhi and Wei Lixuan also greeted her.
"Now that everyone is here, let's go into the school. According to the information I got, all student files are stored in the archives room of the High School Academic Affairs Office. There will be two teachers and a security guard on duty at night, and patrols will be carried out every three hours. If we enter at this time, they will just be returning to the duty room after their patrol." Wei Lixuan, as the commander-in-chief, announced the start of the operation.
Wei Xi looked at Wei Lixuan and couldn't believe that the thing he was most worried about was solved so easily.
But the current situation is better than having a sword of Damocles hanging over your head all the time. I hope the next action will go smoothly, and then I can find Cheng Yizhi. Then...what should I do then? Wei Xi suddenly realized that this was a question without an answer.
"boom!"
"Wei Xi, be careful." Error code 123 behind Wei Xi quickly grabbed her and saved her from the tragic fate of rolling down the stairs.
Everyone stopped and Mama Li asked with concern: "Wei Xi, are you okay?"
Wei Xi looked at the stairs in fear and said in a trembling voice, "I'm fine. I was distracted for a moment. I'm sorry. I will be careful."
Wei Lixuan waved his hand and said, "It's okay. This place is far from the duty room, and the teacher can't hear you." He looked at the map in his hand and said, "Go up one floor and turn left and you'll be there."
The archive room is at the end of the corridor, a place that is easily overlooked. There is a white sign hanging on the black door with the words "Archive Room" written on it.
Looking at the door lock, Wei Xi asked in a low voice: "What should I do now?"
Everyone turned their eyes to Wei Lixuan, who took out a card and said, "I'll try to see if I can open it."
Error code 123 suddenly said, "Wait."
It walked to the door, grabbed the round door handle, twisted it hard, and the door opened.
"Wow, how did you open it?" Everyone looked at it in surprise.
Error code 123 said helplessly, "It wasn't locked in the first place, but you all assumed it was locked." It raised its hand and took a look. "The door handle is clean, so someone must have gone in today. This kind of lock doesn't require a key to lock it, you just need to press the device on the other side of the door before closing it, so it's very likely that the person forgot to press the device when he came out, or didn't press it far enough."
"Wow, Wei Xi, your brother is amazing." Mama Li said with sparkling eyes, "Although he is not as handsome as Senior Meng, he is so smart and charming."
Wei Xi tapped Mama Li's head with her finger in annoyance and said, "Come in, little nympho."
After they slipped into the archive room, Zhang Zhi pressed the light switch on the wall, and the archive room was suddenly brightly lit, filled with rows of large cabinets.
"Oh my God, there are so many cabinets, how can we find what we want?" Mamali exclaimed, covering her mouth.
Zhang Zhi coughed lightly a few times and reminded him shyly, "The year number is on the cabinet."
"Huh? Really, I didn't even notice it just now." Mamali stuck out her tongue and laughed.
Wei Xi had already seen the cabinet she was looking for, but when she walked to the cabinet, she found that all the cabinets in the row were locked.
"I guess this is a confidentiality measure for the safety of students." Wei Lixuan explained softly, "The other cabinets are not locked because the students represented by those files have graduated. There is no need to keep them confidential and they can be checked at will. There is a reason why the school does this. Many fraud cases are carried out through students' information and parents' contact information."
"What should we do now?" Wei Xila pulled this cabinet and shook that cabinet, and found that they were both motionless.
"Let me think..." Wei Lixuan was also at a loss. "I thought only the 25th century would have this kind of awareness of prevention, and I thought we only needed to solve the problem of the gate."
Error Code 123 noticed that there was a small door at the back of the room: "I'll go over and take a look. Maybe it's the manager's office. The key is inside."
It was about to walk over, but suddenly stopped, rummaged in its exaggerated afro, and unexpectedly pulled out a pair of long ears.
There is a hairpin in the same color as her hair on her long ears, which is so hidden in her hair that you can't really see it.
Error code 123 took off the hairpin, pricked up his ears, and ran to the door. After putting his ears against the door and listening for a few seconds, his face changed drastically and he jumped up: "Hide quickly, there seems to be someone outside."
Its words immediately caused panic.
"No way, where can we hide?"
Wei Lixuan took the lead and rushed to the small door: "This door is not locked, let's hide in it quickly."
When everyone ran into the small door, Error Code 123 turned off the lights and slipped into the small door as well.
There was indeed a small room behind the small door, but it was very small and was filled with a desk and a few chairs.
Error code 123 I closed the door and wanted to lock it, but I found that the door lock was broken, so I had to give up the idea. Everyone hid under the desk and held their breath.
"boom!"
The door of the archive room was rudely kicked open, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.
"One, two, three..." Wei Lixuan counted softly.
Wei Xi was very curious about what he was reading, but didn't dare to ask.
The people who came in seemed to have no scruples and began to pry open the cabinets blatantly. Every time a cabinet was pried open, there was a loud noise, followed by the sound of rummaging and throwing things.
The sound was getting louder and louder, getting closer and closer to the small door. Everyone was so nervous that they didn't dare to move, for fear that someone outside would break in. Fortunately, the footsteps gradually faded away.
Wei Xi's legs were almost numb from squatting for so long. She wanted to move slightly and change her posture, but she suddenly felt a pain in her legs like being pricked by a needle. She couldn't help but scream, "Ah..."
Although she covered her mouth immediately, it was still heard by people outside.
"There's someone inside." A hoarse voice said viciously, "Bring her out."
Hearing what they said, Wei Lixuan whispered, "Weiyi, if they rush in later, you and I will be responsible for stopping them. Zhang Zhi is a boy, so he must protect Weixi and Mamali from escaping."
Zhang Zhi and Error Code 123 nodded. Just as everyone was getting ready, a loud shout suddenly came from outside: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
