I Was Once a Legend

Who turned off the light.

The moment this idea appeared in his mind, Dong Zheng ran away without hesitation, and the tick-tock sound of marbles followed behind him, and the sound intervals were similar, as if he was rolling down the stairs step by step.

clatter--

Dong Zheng didn't dare to look back at all. Fortunately, this family lived on the fourth floor. Except for this floor, the lights on other floors were still on. He rushed out of the corridor and ran until he was more than 20 meters away from the unit before turning his head.

The lights on the fourth and fifth floors were off, and on the platform between the first and second floors, the lights cast vaguely human-shaped black shadows on the window glass, moving slowly downward.

Da da--

The night wind blows, and the back covered with fine beads of sweat is chilly.

"Cui Zuojing?" Dong Zheng took a deep breath, turned around and continued to walk forward quickly, and shouted in a low voice.

Cui Zuojing, who was staying in his prisoner's space and relied on the two to contact and observe the condition of the box, did not expect Dong Zhenghui to call him now, and was a little surprised: "Huh?"

"Can I come out for a while?"

The boy's figure appeared next to him, asking, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Dong Zheng paused, and finally said honestly, "I'm a little scared."

Cui Zuojing let out a "poof" laugh, gloating a bit and said, "I thought you would be so domineering and elite that you wouldn't be afraid of these things."

Dong Zheng said while walking: "Fear comes from the unknown and the resistance to death. In the real world, I would not be afraid of such things, because what I know is false, but it is different here. Ghosts can easily take people's lives. I Isn’t it normal to be afraid if you don’t want to die?”

"Okay, then I will reluctantly accompany you for a while." Cui Zuojing's mood suddenly improved, and he followed Dong Zheng, looking back, the thing had already arrived at the door of the building, and the black shadow was drawn very long by the light .It is not difficult to imagine what terrible things will happen if Dong Zheng stays at home for a while.

Cui Zuojing: "What are we going to do now?"

Dong Zheng: "At the beginning, the script gave a hint. What I played was a single father. The child didn't come home so late, so I had to go to school to look for it."

It was a little foggy at night, and the surroundings were blurred in the darkness. A new moon hung high in the night sky, and only one street light was on, trying to guide the direction of the school.

The two walked towards the direction of the lights. After seven o'clock in the evening, it was supposed to be a busy time, but the street was empty. After walking for more than ten minutes, the tall school gate pillars appeared in sight.

Dong Zheng passed by, and the guard in uniform was about to lock the school gate. Dong Zheng hurried forward and said, "Sorry, my child hasn't come back yet, can I go in and look for it?"

The doorman turned his head, this was the first living person Dong Zheng encountered after entering the box, his face was hidden in the shadow of the brim of his hat, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I checked just now, and no one is there. "

Dong Zheng perfectly played the role of a father who found his son missing: "I have searched all other places except the school. My son is very good and usually comes home on time. Something must have happened today that made me Go in and find it."

The guard thought for a while, and took a small key with a red rust on the handle from the key chain hanging on his back, and handed it to Dong Zheng: "This is the key to the security room. After you find it, come out of the security room." Alright, I'll lock the door first."

"Okay, thank you." Dong Zheng put away the key and entered the school with Cui Zuojing. The guard locked the gate behind them and left slowly.

[Mission Update: Survive Tonight/Find Son]

Cui Zuojing suddenly said: "Have you heard a saying?"

"what?"

"Many schools are built on cemeteries. Students are there during the day, and the yang energy will suppress the yin energy. Once they leave, the night will become a paradise for ghosts. This is why there are so many strange stories on campus."

Dong Zheng hummed and said calmly: "Because most of the cemeteries used to be in the suburbs, they will naturally become used land after the city expands. The school occupies a large area and needs a quiet environment. The Land Resources Bureau will naturally set aside the place. The establishment of a school. As for the ghost stories on campus... I have been studying for so many years, but I have never encountered one. Of course, this place cannot be compared with the real world, and there will definitely be ghosts."

"..." Cui Zuojing was speechless, "I wanted to scare you, but I thought you would be afraid."

"Yeah, I'm really scared." Dong Zheng spread out his palm expressionlessly, and Cui Zuojing touched it, covered with cold sweat.

Cui Zuojing couldn't help raising the corners of his lips: "It's okay if you're so scared, let's go and find your cheap son."

The two took a rough look at the circle. The school covers a large area, divided into elementary school and junior high school, teaching building in the north, auditorium and laboratory in the east, canteen and warehouse in the south, and the school gate faces west.

So far, apart from the dinosaur puppet on his son’s bed, there are no other plots related to clues. To be honest, this [Doll’s House], Dong Zheng originally thought it would be set in a toy factory, doll’s room, school and other places. This, no matter how you look at it, is not very close.

Although Dong Zheng didn't think he could find his so-called son, even if he found it, there was a high probability that he would not be alive, but he still went to the teaching building first.The textbook on the son's desk was for the fifth grade. He didn't have a map, so he didn't know that the building belonged to the elementary school, so he went straight into the nearest one.

The door of the classroom was locked as a matter of course. Dong Zheng took a flashlight and shone through the small windows on the door one by one, but he didn't find anything unusual. All the classroom windows were locked with anti-theft windows, making it impossible to enter.

There was nothing to gain on the first floor, so Dong Zheng called Cui Zuojing, who was looking up at the commendation board on the wall, and went up to the second floor.

It is undeniable that as long as someone is by his side, even if he does not speak or do anything, Dong Zheng will feel less nervous and fearful.The footsteps of the two echoed in the corridor, the voice-activated lights turned on, and there were traces of rain and water leakage in the corner.

Cui Zuojing: "What's the name of your cheap son?"

The flashlight illuminated the seating chart pasted on the door. Dong Zheng glanced at it briefly and said, "I don't know, the kid didn't even write his name on the book."

Cui Zuojing nodded, and the two walked around the second floor, only to find that the door of the classroom at the end was not locked, but closed tightly.

Dong Zheng pushed open the door carefully, and there was no one in the classroom.

He and Cui Zuojing went in, pressed the switch at the door, and the three rows of light tubes above their heads flickered for a while, but finally failed to light up again.

Dong Zheng saw the pattern drawn on the blackboard at a glance. The white chalk lines outline the appearance of a cartoon villain, with two banana-like braids on his head, a girl with a mouth full of fangs, a pair of devil wings and a little devil tail on her back, and the soles of her feet A mass of blood scribbled with a red pen.

Very abstract, obviously written by a child.

Dong Zheng began to search the table, and Cui Zuojing sat on a table by the window, according to the original agreement, he just watched and didn't help.

The light of the flashlight swept across his cheeks from time to time, Cui Zuojing squinted his eyes, and suddenly saw a black shadow flashing past the window on the opposite side of the corridor.

The next second, the classroom door closed out of thin air, and there was a loud bang that scared Dong Zheng, who was concentrating on looking for something, to raise his head suddenly. He took a step back vigilantly, picked up the stool and was ready to attack at any time.

The sound of locking is so clear.

Cui Zuojing jumped down, pulled the door hard, shrugged at Dong Zheng, "We are locked inside."

The flashlight was shining out of the window, and Dong Zheng only saw a corner of something flashing by. He immediately stood against the wall, stuck at the widest angle he could see the corridor, and saw clearly the huge dark green figure whose back was facing away.

what?

Dong Zheng frowned, and at this moment, another flashlight shot from the other end of the corridor, hitting the monster's back.

"Someone—fuck!" The soft inquiry turned into scolding the moment the monster turned around, and the flashlight immediately turned around and ran away.

Dong Zheng finally saw the true face of the monster.

It was a toy dinosaur.

Tattered cotton wool fell out from one side of the long neck, and two buttons were sewn into the eyes. It stood on its hind legs, about two meters high, half of its body was covered with blackened blood, and its two front paws were as sharp as knives. , emitting a sharp metallic luster in the flashlight, Dong Zheng has no doubt that it can tear people apart.

He immediately turned off the flashlight, and when the dinosaur passed by the window, the dinosaur turned to look at him and Cui Zuojing, a terrifying grin appeared on the mouth sewn with black thread, illuminated by the moonlight.

It didn't pay attention to the two people who were locked inside, and the figure flashed past amidst the sound of heavy footsteps, chasing another person who broke in suddenly.

"It was Hangzhi just now?" Dong Zheng and Cui Zuojing looked at each other and asked in a low voice.

"It's the sound, I guess he heard the movement or saw the light and came here." Cui Zuojing opened the window, and could vaguely hear someone running quickly in the corridor downstairs, and then sat back on the table leisurely, "Really?" Unlucky, I met Ai around the corner, he probably has to catch up for a while."

"Find a way to get out first." Dong Zheng continued to search the table. Of course he knew that it would be easy to destroy doors or security windows with Cui Zuojing's ability, but he didn't want to ask the boy to help.

Dong Zheng found a diary from a certain table hole in the back row, and he had already used more than half of it. The weather is so nice, happy", or "It's so boring today, I don't have anything to write about".

Dong Zheng didn't look at it carefully, and put away the diary. He was afraid that the dinosaur would turn around and deal with them after a long delay. Now he was trapped in the classroom. If something happened, there was no place to escape. .

Dong Zheng took out a dead sparrow from the hole in the second row of tables on the right. It had begun to rot, and black worms were crawling on it.There is a gap in the middle of the stool. If you sit on it, it may pinch your buttocks.

In the trash can at the corner of the back door of the classroom, there are rotten rice, scraps of paper, and a puddle of water on the ground, but there are no other clues.

Dong Zheng leaned on the last row of desks thinking, the devil girl on the blackboard grinned at him as if mocking.

He opened the diary again, and Cui Zuojing came over to read it with him from the first page.

【Monday, April 4th】

【The teacher asked us to write a diary every day to record what happened and how we felt that day, but we would not collect it for inspection. So what is the purpose of writing a diary? 】

Cui Zuojing: "Hey, this kid is really sincere."

【Wednesday, April 4th】

【They made Agatha cry again, I gave Agatha half of the lunch, and they laughed at me.

I'm angry, and I'm going to tell the teacher if I do this again. 】

Finally, something that seems to be related to the plot appeared, Dong Zheng skipped many pages of useless articles and turned to the next page.

The author has something to say: [-]nd watch~ the liver hurts qwq
