Chapter 56: Killing on Campus (XI)
The blue sky was so clear that there was not a single cloud in it. Only the scorching sun was hanging high in the sky, making people so hot that they could not even open their eyes.
Due to the special nature of the back mountain, an iron net with "No Climbing" signs separates the back mountain from the campus. The only entrance and exit is an iron gate about 500 meters next to the Funeral College.
Xiang Liangyu knew that Yun Panshan was still looking at her, and she was speechless when she saw the note that Bai Chuncao put into her pocket. She had taken a look at the note that was pulled out of someone's hand, and she still remembered it clearly.
Xiang Liangyu withdrew her thoughts. She really couldn't stand Yun Panshan's gaze, so she took the opportunity to walk to the door and stick her head out.
After seeing the scene outside the door clearly, a trace of doubt flashed through her mind. There was no iron fence here, so why was there a door in the wall at the back of the classroom?
Bai Chuncao led the team again, and after everyone walked around inside, they found that the back mountain corresponding to the teaching building had not yet been developed. It was a relatively primitive low mountain forest, and a "No Entry" warning sign could be seen halfway.
Of course, they were lost.
Xiang Liangyu was in the middle of the team. She couldn't look directly at the blazing sun above her head, but she felt cool instead of hot when she walked in the woods. It was really strange. She looked at the green leaves at her feet, and the layout of the back mountain gradually emerged in her mind, but she had clearly never been here before.
At this moment, they were walking towards the depths of the back mountain. If they wanted to get out safely, they had to walk in the opposite direction.
Xiang Liangyu was struggling over how to start the conversation when she suddenly felt a chill on her back. She subconsciously turned around and saw a figure hiding behind a tree not far away.
"Who are you?"
As if frightened by Xiang Liangyu's sudden turn, the person hiding behind the tree trembled and mustered up the courage to speak.
Qi Da was already so frightened that he almost jumped up when he heard the voice suddenly.
Everyone turned around and saw a little red-haired girl hiding behind a tree, staring at them with a pair of round eyes.
Although the back mountain was cool, it was summer after all, and the girl was wearing a long-necked sweater and a light gray pleated skirt. Her face was white and she didn't look like she was sweating from the heat at all.
In the deserted woods of the eerie campus , a little red-haired girl suddenly appeared, wearing out-of-season clothes. Anyone who saw her would exclaim that it was a ghost.
Qi Da took a deep breath and begged his grandfather even faster.
Bai Zhizi smiled and walked a few steps forward, keeping a safe distance from her, bending down and looking directly at the little girl: "We are students, little sister, why are you here alone?"
The little girl was still hiding behind the tree. After looking at everyone, she looked timid as if she had seen something scary. She said, "You are going in the wrong direction. The exit is behind you. Just keep going straight and you will get out."
Bai Zhizi wanted to say something, but the little girl covered her face and ran away screaming.
Xiang Liangyu: “…”
Xiang Liangyu swore that she just glanced at the little girl. Who knew that the girl would react so strongly? She didn't do anything.
The direction pointed by the red-haired girl was completely correct. Bai Chuncao led the way and arrived in less than ten minutes. After leaving the Funeral College, Bai Chuncao thanked Yun Panshan and expressed regret for Di He's death.
Bai Zhizi suddenly said, "Now you should stop doubting her."
Xiang Liangyu laughed dryly and didn't respond.
Yun Panshan didn't mind what Bai Zhizi said. When they parted, he said, "If possible, don't mention Di He in front of Master Liming next time."
Having said this, everyone went their separate ways. Bai Chuncao and the other two went to the cafeteria to eat. Xiang Liangyu had no appetite, so he declined and went back to the dormitory.
Wu Yun and Wen Yucheng were not in the dormitory. Xiang Liangyu took out the medicine bottle from her pocket and threw it on the table. She seemed to think that this was too blatant. After thinking about it, she kicked it back into her pocket, thinking of burying it in a corner next time she went out.
After all this trouble, there was not much time left for lunch break, so Xiang Liangyu took out his class schedule and saw that he had full classes in the afternoon.
She threw the schedule aside and remembered the note she saw in the classroom, which was khaki in color and looked like a piece of debris.
She got up and left the dormitory, and by the way, woke up Fang Zi who was still sleeping in the dormitory, and went to the administrative building together.
Xiang Liangyu was so fast that when the two of them stood at the bottom of the tall administrative building, Fang Zi's mind was completely confused: "If I remember correctly, you should have a full class this afternoon, right?"
"Escaped," the two walked in, and Xiang Liangyu pulled her to the historical wall, pointed at the empty photo frame on it and asked, "Do you know this photo?"
Fang Zi looked at the empty photo frame, confused and said, "Xiang Liangyu, this is a location that players need to explore, why are you here to join in the fun?"
Xiang Liangyu said seriously: "You said my identity is strange, but I think it's not my identity that is strange, but this world."
Fang Zi hesitated and asked, "So?"
Xiang Liangyu leaned close to Fang Zi's ear and whispered, "So, I must know my own identity, but my identity can only be revealed through player exploration. With the current slow progress of players, I feel that even if I slow down the punishment process, they will not be able to complete it to the end."
Fang Zi pondered while looking at the photo frame, shrugged and said, "This is the first time for us to come to this restricted area, so I can't find out your identity. You can only rely on the players to unravel the truth bit by bit."
"As for this photo, you can go ask Quan Shengyan. My mission area is in the dormitory. The administrative building is not within my scope."
In a flash, Xiang Liangyu suddenly had an idea: "Wait a minute, the archives room, yes, the archives room! Where is the key to the archives room ?"
Fang Zi clapped her hands and suddenly realized, "Yes, the archives room! But the bad news is that I am the dormitory manager and I only have the dormitory key. The good news is that Quan Shengyan should have it."
Fang Zi seemed to have thought of something and laughed for no apparent reason. "Just go up and get it. The archives room is also in this building, so you don't have to run around. It's so sunny outside and it's noon. He should still be in the office."
After she finished speaking, she left. Xiang Liangyu stood in front of the historical wall, and the yellow fragment of Bai Chuncao flashed through her mind. Perhaps it was related to this photo?
The doors of the offices on the first floor were locked tightly and surprisingly quiet. Xiang Liangyu took the elevator to the sixth floor. There was only the principal's office on the sixth floor. Light slanted in from the lanceolate windows, casting beams of color on the not-so-long corridor. A black door was at the end.
Xiang Liangyu knocked on the door three times, but no one answered, just like the first time. She pushed the door open and walked in, shivering in the cold as if she had fallen into an icy cave.
It was even colder than the first time I came. The windows were closed tightly, and the dark office became bright the moment the door opened.
Xiang Liangyu saw Quan Shengyan lying on the sofa.
He was lying flat on the sofa, his hair had turned silver white, one arm was draped over his forehead, and the other hand was hanging on the edge of the sofa; he was wearing a thin black shirt with the first few buttons unbuttoned and the collar naturally open, his snow-white chest was slowly rising and falling, very obviously.
Xiang Liangyu looked away unnaturally, walked in and closed the door.
She thought her movements were not light, but Quan Shengyan still did not react at all. If he had not been breathing normally, Xiang Liangyu would have really thought that something had happened to him.
Xiang Liangyu walked to the sofa and wanted to see if Quan Shengyan was sleeping. As a result, with her excellent night vision, she could see the person on the sofa very clearly.
Although she had seen Quan Shengyan's upper body many times in the First World, to be fair, the look of wanting to reveal but not yet revealing was the most alluring.
The contrast between the black shirt and the skin is especially sexy. The shape outlined by the lines is hidden under the shirt, looming with the breath, and the open collar reveals a large area of chest muscles. Going up is the protruding Adam's apple, the angular jaw that rolls from time to time, and a pair of thin lips tightly pursed.
Xiang Liangyu wanted to wake him up, but she didn't know where to put her hands. He looked so uncomfortable that she had no idea where to start. So she half-knelt in front of the sofa and poked Quan Shengyan's cheek with her fingers, but found that the place where her fingers touched was extremely hot.
Xiang Liangyu quickly took his hand away from his forehead and found that Quan Shengyan's brows were slightly frowned, his eyes were blinking, and there was an obvious red circle around his eyes.
With an ominous premonition, Xiang Liangyu touched his chest and suddenly found that his body was more than twice as hot as his face. She panicked for a moment and shook Quan Shengyan's arm and shouted: "Quan Shengyan? Quan Shengyan? You have a fever, you are not going to faint?"
Quan Shengyan let Xiang Liangyu manipulate his body, but the movements were too big, and his head, which was originally leaning against the back of the sofa, turned over softly, with his face pressed against the back of Xiang Liangyu's hand.
Xiang Liangyu stopped and looked at Quan Shengyan lying in his hand with some surprise.
He opened his eyes slightly, his pale red eyes were sleepy, and after his gaze fell on the gold watch, Quan Shengyan slowly raised his head and looked at Xiang Liangyu, his voice slightly hoarse: "Why are you here?"
Xiang Liangyu quickly pulled his hand back and helped Quan Shengyan sit up: "I was looking for you for something, but when I came in, I saw you lying here, your body was hot, and I almost thought you had fainted from a fever."
Quan Shengyan leaned back on the sofa, chuckled a few times, gathered up his collar and straightened it, then said, "I'm fine. This is what happens when you're exposed to the sun."
As he spoke, he stood up and turned up the air conditioner a few degrees.
"You were hit by the sun? Did you go out?" Xiang Liangyu asked in surprise, "Your body temperature hasn't dropped yet, why raise it?"
Quan Shengyan glanced at Xiang Liangyu's hand and said, "I went to look for you at noon. Fang Zi said you were not in the dormitory, so I came back."
"I've been blowing it for a long time and I don't feel the heat anymore."
Xiang Liangyu: “…”
What's going on with this feeling of guilt?
Xiang Liangyu: "Why didn't you tell me in advance? If you don't know how to send a message, you can ask the system for help."
Quan Shengyan pursed her lips and said, "I will."
Xiang Liangyu was amused by him: "Okay, I know. Remember to inform me next time you come to see me, I will make time. I came to you to ask you to do me a favor, do you have the key to the school archives?"
Quan Shengyan nodded: "Yes, I'll take you there."
Xiang Liangyu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, a little surprised: "Aren't you going to ask me why?"
Quan Shengyan looked at Xiang Liangyu, her red eyes shining like gemstones, with a startling gentleness: "No need to ask, I will do my best to give you whatever you want."
Xiang Liangyu didn't understand the meaning of his words at all and thought that Quan Shengyan was just talking casually, but it must be said that these words were indeed very pleasing.
She raised the corner of her mouth and was about to say something, but Quan Shengyan said, "As long as you come to me, or let me go with you."
Xiang Liangyu blinked, digested his words, and nodded: "Okay."
That's what you said.
