Feng Xinyao naturally did not know what Lian Ran was thinking. She had been worried all the way here.
“You—” she began.
However, there seemed to be a human voice coming from the other side of the corridor. Feng Xinyao immediately shut her mouth and gave Lian Ran a look.
Lian Ran then pulled her into the nearest room to hide.
“When I think about how 1 don’t have class tomorrow, I feel refreshed.”
“It’s obvious that a few teachers left school early today…”
“Then 1’11 go and return the key to the laboratory first. I don’t want to delay the maintenance workers repairing the lights.”
The two girls chatted and laughed as they walked away. However, they did not notice Feng Xinyao and Lian Ran.
Seeing this, Feng Xinyao heaved a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to walk out, she was stopped by Lian Ran.
“What are you doing?” She frowned.
Lian Ran explained, “I’m afraid that she hasn’t gone far. Stay here first. I’ll go out and take a look.”
While she was talking to attract Feng Xinyao’s attention, she took out Feng Xinyao’s phone from her pocket and hid it in her bag.
There was indeed no harm in Lian Rail’s caution. Moreover, Feng Xinyao herself felt guilty, so she agreed.
“Hurry up then,” Feng Xinyao urged, not noticing that her cell phone had been taken away.
When she came, she saw that this floor seemed to be used by medical students. Just thinking about it made her feel creeped out.
Lian Ran nodded expressionlessly, let go of her hand, and walked out. Her footsteps seemed to be a little brisk.
However, Feng Xinyao frowned. She realized that the feeling she had today was a little strange, but she did not think too much about it.
After Lian Ran left, Feng Xinyao finally had the time to check her surroundings.
In the end, what she saw shocked her.
A skeleton of normal proportions was standing behind her. When Feng Xinyao turned around and met those empty skeleton eyes, her heart skipped a beat.
Only then did she realize that she had actually hidden in a large specimen room.
Although she knew that it was a model, Feng Xinyao did not dare to look around. Just the thought of various things in her mind made her scalp tingle. She secretly prayed that Lian Ran would come back quickly and not make her wait too long.
However, after waiting for nearly 20 minutes, Feng Xinyao’s patience was gradually exhausted.
“What took her so long…” She was impatient.
Feng Xinyao pushed the door in frustration, but after exerting some strength, she realized that she couldn’t open the door at all.
Knock knock.
She panicked and pushed twice more. This time, she heard a faint sound. It seemed like someone was locking the door on the other end.
“Lian Ran! Lian Ran!” Feng Xinyao hurriedly shouted.
She knocked on the door, but there was no response. She increased her strength, trying to attract attention with the pounding.
The sound of the door vibrating faintly came from the fourth floor, but the expressionless Lian Ran pretended to not notice it. She wrapped the chain lock around the door and pasted a notice that prohibited students from entering the laboratory building while it was being repaired.
This way, no one would “disturb” her.
[I’m done.]
Lian Ran sent a message to Murong Qiao.
At that moment, Murong Qiao was sitting in the classroom and listening to the last lesson.
The middle-aged teacher was speaking happily on the podium with his spittle flying everywhere. When he was excited, he would give some additional knowledge points.
However, most of the students below the stage were drowsy. The rest were already zoning out.
“It’s so hard to earn credits.” Yang Xin sighed.
It was not an important class to begin with. They were just here to sign in and leave after listening.
Murong Qiao sat beside her, her gaze fixed on the phone screen that suddenly lit up.
Murong Qiao’s smile fell into Yang Xin’s eyes, making her a little confused.
“What are you laughing at, Qiaoqiao?” She leaned over curiously.
Murong Qiao retracted her gaze and looked at Yang Xin. “1 recalled something happy.”
She answered in all seriousness.
“Huh?” But Yang Xin was even more puzzled.
Murong Qiao smiled and didn’t explain further.
She hoped that Feng Xinyao would be thankful of being able to experience what it felt like to be locked in the swimming pool at night.
After Lian Ran sent the message, Murong Qiao’s mood had been maintained at the standard of being very happy. Especially after seeing the night fall, the smile in her eyes deepened.
At night, the laboratory building that blended into the night should have been silent, but one could vaguely hear muffled sounds coming from inside.
“… Did you hear anything?” The girl who passed by the laboratory building asked hesitantly.
The girl with her stopped and listened carefully. “You mean… the knocking sound?”
She said hesitantly. She and her friends then looked at each other and saw the fear in each other’s eyes.
“There won’t be any, right?” The girl who asked the question pointed at the laboratory building.
She wanted to say that there might be unclean things, but after thinking about it, she did not even dare to say that.
The other person instinctively cowered. “I think it’s better to leave quickly.”
Even if she didn’t believe it, she still had to revere it.
Moreover, a place like the laboratory building itself had the characteristics of a school myth. Just thinking about it made one feel afraid.
The two girls felt that they had to quicken their pace.
“Come back! I told you to come back, did you hear me?!” Feng Xinyao slammed the glass and shouted.
However, when this voice entered the ears of the two girls, it made them speed up and disappear from Feng Xinyao’s sight.
The two of them: This laboratory building is definitely not clean!
Feng Xinyao was so angry that she wanted to smash the window, but her red palm was still hurting, so she held back.
If not for the fact that the window was locked by the key, she would not have been able to open it with her own strength. That way, Feng Xinyao might have been able to shout for someone to save her.
Unfortunately, Murong Qiao was far more meticulous than her. She could be said to have chosen the right time, place, and people. She did not plan to give Feng Xinyao a chance to escape from the beginning.
As for Feng Xinyao, if she still didn’t understand that she had been tricked by Murong Qiao, she would be the number one fool in the world!
Not long after Lian Ran left, Feng Xinyao realized that her cell phone was gone.
She had planned to call someone to save her, but when she searched her pockets, she found nothing. Her heart skipped a beat, and she had an ominous feeling.
After that, she shouted for help. However, other than the two girls just now, Feng Xinyao did not even see a single person.
“…” She forced herself to calm down.
However, when Feng Xinyao turned around from the window, she met the skeleton in the darkness. After meeting eyes with it, Feng Xinyao looked away with her pounding heart.
However, the feeling of being spied on did not dissipate. Instead, it became stronger because of the various specimens around her.
She wanted to control the panic that kept developing in her heart. She wanted to close her eyes and control herself from looking around, but her gaze could not help but look at the corner.
There was a dead specimen covered in a white cloth lying there quietly, but it had already begun to make Feng Xinyao’s legs go weak.
She stared at the arm that was exposed under the white cloth. It was pale and stiff like a ghost, as if it could jump up from the shelf and grab her neck the next moment.
“Don’t come over.” Feng Xinyao couldn’t help but threaten it.
However, she was the only one in the room. These words made her feel weak.
Feng Xinyao, on the other hand, shrunk her body and gradually leaned back. In the end, she bumped into something and made a series of sounds.
“All!!!”
Sometimes, scaring oneself was far more crazy than facing the fear head-on.
And the darkness was the best catalyst..
