I'm afraid of non-human beings

Chapter 9 True and False Teammates

The hit made the hanged ghost dizzy.

The bucket was dangling on her head, and her body followed suit a few times, grabbing around with both hands indiscriminately, but of course she tripped over the desk, and "Kang Dang" fell on her back.

That's a mess.

As for Lin You, she tiptoed back when the opponent's forehead hit the iron plate, and opened a distance of several meters.

The power gap between the two sides is quite a bit different, Lin You knew that now is not the time to get entangled with this guy.

While the female ghost was still wrestling with the bucket, she stepped on the window sill and opened the window little by little.

Turning over lightly, Lin You lay on the window frame, put two fingers together at the temples, and swung forward.

"Goodbye," she said with a smile, "Don't be proud of victory or discouraged by defeat."

It's a joy to peel off.

Hanged Ghost: "..."

Hanged ghost: "???"

Is this woman still provocative? ! !

She growled, and the action of pulling the slippery bucket on her head became more and more frantic. Lin You quickly closed the window with her eyes and hands.

He jumped, landed on the floor, and ran in the opposite direction of the sealed corridor without looking back.

The sound of the door being knocked open suddenly came from behind, and Lin You secretly thought that something was wrong.

——This is really hot.

Before the hanged ghost really chased him out, she dashed across the corner and pushed open the nearest door.

Leaning her back against the door, listening to the rustling noises outside approaching and going away, Lin You, who had almost lost her leg, breathed a sigh of relief.

It was pitch black.

After all, Lin You had seen some people who experienced a lot of wind and waves, and this little situation didn't bother her at all, so she reached out and groped for the wall without hesitation.

After touching it twice, she pressed a hard object accurately.

Lin You: "..."

She thought that she would touch something like a cold hand according to the horror movie routine, and it seemed that she was worried for nothing.

At least there is no open-door kill arranged here.

The switch was pressed with a "snap", and the lights came on one after another, and the whole picture of the room was roughly displayed in front of her.

This is much bigger than the classroom just now—and of course, there are four or five small square tables lined up by the window, and there are rows of bookshelves separated by a corridor more than one person wide, with all kinds of books piled up in different categories. On a stainless steel rack.

"The library." Lin You said to herself.

She walked through the bookshelves one by one, and found that they were mostly tutorial books and popular books.

Should it be called a school?

After graduating for many years, it is always a bit inexplicable to look back at the knowledge points back then.Lin You shook her head dumbfounded, and approached the long table at the end.

God knows what kind of ghostly decoration this library is, and the borrowing desk is actually installed in the innermost position.A few extra-curricular books of different thicknesses are scattered around the outdated desktop computer.

Lin You would rather catch a thousand by mistake than let one go, so she was going to open them one by one to have a look.When she picked up one of the picture books and flipped the pages, she was suddenly taken aback.

——I actually found a page inside that was obviously torn out.

...?

She picked up the mottled torn page, and the first thing that caught her eyes was a line of small characters at the beginning.

- "Sun on Earth".

Lin You continued to look down.

"'An archaeological team once went deep into the ancient Roman ruins to investigate another possibility of the starting point of the worship of the sun god or the god of fire in later generations.'" She read silently, "'That is considered to be a huge, continuous A deformed living flame whose name is...'"

...Is that a "gram" in the future?

The text was interrupted here, and a group of ink stains that seemed to be deliberately made covered several lines of words behind.

The light in the library was as dim as in the corridor. Lin You studied for a long time, but couldn't figure out what was printed.

Just skipped to the very end.

"With... is a sworn enemy, once summoned, it will respond to the request of the person who is deeply threatened by..."

The two obvious names in the middle have also been scribbled out.

Lin You stared at the incomplete page for a few seconds, and finally sighed leisurely, and put it back in the picture book.

She inserted the book at the bottom and was about to withdraw her hand when a slip of paper caught her attention.

[The fifth of the seven wonders of the campus: the messy piano sound in the music classroom]

The piece of paper was square, and the scribbled handwriting was exactly the same as the one she held in her hand when she woke up in that classroom.

Lin You couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

So far, about the "Seven Mysteries", she has already known three cards. Temporarily excluding the hanged ghost in the classroom, the rest is the question of which one should go first, Hanako or the music classroom.

It was at this time that she suddenly heard footsteps approaching outside the door.

Lin You was startled, reflexively stuffed the note she picked up into her pocket, and quickly turned around to hide behind the nearest bookshelf.

It was too late to turn off the lights.

She had no choice but to move in again to ensure that the other party would not see her figure as soon as she entered the door.

It's also possible that the people you meet are not who they seem - she recalled what was written on the original paper - don't trust anyone you meet.

The door was pushed open.

"Hey, are the lights on?"

Two people came in one after the other, the first voice sounded a bit hearty at first glance, but the voice that followed was much calmer.

"The few rooms you passed by just now must have been lit," he sighed, "but it really doesn't matter whether the lights are on or not."

Both are men.

Lin You pricked up her ears and heard them walk into the library.

Two rows of bookshelves and the closely arranged books on the bookshelves were separated, the other party couldn't see her, and she couldn't see what the person was like, only a faint shadow could be caught.

But the sound reverberated in the library, and they could still hear it clearly—this was the same for them.

Lin You leaned back against the book and held her breath.

"That white thing that floated past just now," said the calm voice with a little nervousness, "I don't know what it is?"

Lin You: "..."

The hanged ghost is not still looking for her, is he?

The other sounded more upbeat than he was worried.

"I didn't find us anyway, so it's just right."

His voice paused briefly.

"...By the way, is this the borrowing room of this school? Maybe we can find some clues."

During the conversation, the sound of footsteps approached.

The other party was approaching the row of bookshelves where she was hiding step by step, and Lin You hid inside without a trace.She put her right hand behind her back and shook it slightly.

No matter who the visitor is, it is always right to be more careful.

"Why don't you look over the desk over there?" He turned around, "I'll take a look at the bookshelf over here... ah!"

Lin You had been prepared for a long time, but she was also startled by the shout, almost at the same time as the young man startled each other.

"what--"

Immediately lowering his head to confirm that she still had legs, the young man breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm scared to death, it's human."

Lin You rolled her eyes, and quietly put away the card that was already between her fingers.

"Uh, yes," she held up that hand, "you too?"

...how does this statement sound weird?

"What's going on?!" Hearing the movement here, another person hurried over, "What happened?!"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's a false alarm."

The young man turned his head and said with a smile: "It seems that we have found another companion."

Even in such a dim light, you can see that his appearance is impeccable.It is precisely because of this foundation that the refreshing smile after the initial surprise recedes makes it easy for people to relax their vigilance and feel good.

And the man who came up after him seemed to be in his early twenties, with dark skin, and his face was flattened in line with his tone.

If you say that he looks pretty good, it's a pity that with the young man just now in front, he looks a little bit inferior.

"Don't worry," the man who just walked over still had a sullen face, but his tone of voice was very sincere, "We are indeed all human beings."

"His name is Xia Zuo, just call me Duke."

He introduced that the tension on his face had not slowed down until now, and he scratched his head.

... While feeling relieved, Lin You actually felt a little dull.

"You two are really human?" she asked.

Duke: "..."

Duke: "???"

Was it his illusion? It was obviously a question full of doubts, but why did he feel a little regretful?

"if not."

The young man named Xia Zuo asked with great interest: "Is there any other option?"

"Actually, we just met each other just now." He said, "But so far we are all in peace, and we can prove to each other that we have no evil intentions."

The serious little brother next to him nodded in agreement.

"Of course," Xia Zuo continued to laugh, "You can also suspect that we are colluding with each other to deceive you."

Duke: "..."

He stopped nodding now, and shook his head like a rattle, for fear that the girl he had just met would really suspect that he was not trustworthy.

The other party raised this possibility first, but she had nothing to say.

"Hmm..." Lin You answered absently.

"Well, I trust you," she said. "So what have you found so far?"

Hearing her words, Duke was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously glanced at Xia Zuo.

His little action did not miss Lin You's eyes, and the two of them had obviously exchanged news.The latter did not hide it, but opened his mouth openly.

"No, I haven't had time to investigate in such a short time."

"However," he said, "I went to see the school gate."

Lin You: "The school gate?"

Xia Zuo's smile faded away briefly.

He nodded, "It's the same as looking down from upstairs, it's blocked by thick fog, and it's probably not easy to get out."

"So the two of us discussed to use our brains on the so-called 'seven mysteries'," Duke added, "we're going to check one by one."

"I think the key to the fog may be related to one of them," Xia Zuo said.

He asked: "How about it, do you want to act together?"

Lin You looked at the two of them.

She's not ready to believe anything anyone says, but—

Lin You suddenly smiled.

"Okay," she said.
