Chapter 5: The Eerie Celebration

I had to go back to the first room with a stiff upper lip, having had enough of that human coffin in my heart. Morning Research Dew ran over to it, the light from the flashlight dawning on my eyes. Once again, he pressed back the broken spring behind the mannequin, his movements numb, so he must have been a little scared too.

We had just closed the first door when, as I expected, the sound came back.

"Rumble!" "Rumble!"

But this time it was two sounds!

"Never mind that, let's just get to the information still!" Now I'm not sure what the hell I'm holding on to anymore, my mentor's death, if it's only explained externally, on someone else it might be accepted openly. But those of us who study case investigation will always be unable to resist investigating it, right?

Kenroku also looked impatient and nodded. We quickly came to the second door, and the smell of sulfur hit our noses. Luckily we had masks on, otherwise the smell would have choked me to death.

Clearly filled with bottles and jars for medicine, we generally rummaged through the small bookshelves with only one row, and didn't look for the information we needed.

And with a couple of large vats set up on the opposite side of the room, we got a little overwhelmed. The first door told me that I shouldn't touch any more of what was there, and that we should quickly look in the last door. If there was nothing in the last door that we needed either, probably we were going in the wrong direction and should have chosen the left instead of the right in the first place.

Before I could say anything, Research Dew had already reached down and opened one of the tanks. These tanks were so large they could fit an adult in them.

When I was about to stop it, "No-!" Before I could finish my sentence, my brain was blinded by the smell of the potion in the vat.

He pulled me back quickly as I pointed my flashlight at the vat to get a better look at what was inside. With a clear view, all the organs in my body seemed to explode! The heart was almost almost too much to bear.

Only to see three or four baby heads looming in the black pungent medicinal water in the vat!

"Little Mimi, you-"

"No …… no …… let's hurry back!" I was mentally disoriented and pulled him to run out, but he stood there motionless like a wooden man.

"What are you freezing for!" I ran out without authorization, no longer able to imagine that this was the basement. What was it all for, was there an assassination crime at the school ……

I ran down the tunnel I'd come through, but couldn't find my way back the way I'd come because the flashlight had been thrown in a mental breakdown. I groped my way through the darkness, but I felt an overwhelming terror. My heart seemed to be beating out of my chest, and then there was a faint "boom" from the first door, and I couldn't stop the tears from falling. I'm not a strong girl, but I wanted to be.

After about ten minutes, the sound was getting closer and closer to me. The first door suddenly opened on its own, and I could clearly see a black shadow flashing by so quickly that I thought I was blinking. It – flashed into the second door, and that was where Renglu was!

I crouched a dozen meters away, not daring to go through, but I had to save my friend.

Once again, I ran back through the tunnel that only one person could pass through, stumbling several times on the way because I couldn't see well. My knees were already knocked out and I didn't care much about anything.

Going back to the second door again, I opened it in one go. Seeing that a person was lying on the ground, and that Rhenlu was missing!

"Rhenlu!" I shouted, and didn't get a reply.

I was so furious that I took a medicine bottle beside me in my hand and smashed it at the person lying on the ground holding his head, and that person was immediately in agony. Wanted to get up but couldn't, obviously I saw that his left shoulder had paralysis, already the whole shoulder was out of shape, while the right side was still intact. He was clad in a white gown, much like a regular medic, but with his head covered he couldn't see his features.

"Where are you, Kenroku!" I called out again, and suddenly a hand reached out from the pungent potion.

White and slender hand, it was that pair of hands that could bring me warmth!

I hurriedly went forward to pull it, and the black potion also stained my hands. It was cold and there was nothing uncomfortable about it.

He calmly climbed out, but his body was already soaked with black potion. The white undershirt inside had also turned gray, apparently the potion had lost its color.

I gave the jacket back to Research Dew and he pulled it over his thin body. I asked him heartily if he was cold, and he didn't have the heart to say crap.

We looked hostilely at the ground and realized that the dark shadow was gone.

I confessed, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have run away."

He was shivering from the cold and all of a sudden spread out softly on the ground. He said, "It's not your fault, everything here is still unusual. You were right to go out just now, or …… the one who was injured might have been you." He touched his injured right hand and finished peacefully, "I'm going to take my clothes off and wring them out."

I obliged, taking the jacket, the lining, the stained undershirt he'd taken off. His rubbed and tender skin was exposed to the silent air, and I blushed involuntarily.

Unlike Ryuk, who was strong, he was lean instead.

Research Dew didn't care about men or women anymore, and pulled his jeans down directly in front of me, revealing his gray underwear. I hurriedly turned around as he began to wring the jeans and proceeded to put them on. Only then did I turn around and wring out all the tops. A large black colored potion appeared on the floor and I sniffed on Research Dew. There was no stench of blood or decay, and it appeared that the baby heads were fake.

"That's a real baby, this is a secret lab used for pickling." He seemed to know what I was thinking, and finished, looking at my misguided expression. A smile was barely squeezed out of my lips, which were purple from freezing. "Don't worry about anything, there won't be any ghosts here. You're going the wrong way, we should have checked the last door and gone to the left."

I said disapprovingly, "No, it's too late, it's already four."

He sat down helplessly, "Ugh, looks like we're going to have to do this again."

I screamed in my mind, what! It's going to have to be done again!

I helped him and instead of going to the final door again, I just went back the way I came. Along the way I was scared, if that masked man appeared again, I'm afraid I can't cope with it by myself supporting the study of Lu.

The avalanche of nerves finally relaxed at the exit, we in accordance with the original appearance, I call out the first shot of the locks and chains of the placement of the appearance, and then re-positioned. Only then did we escape from the underground library in hiding, and Renglu and I looked at each other – he was soaking wet, my knees and lips were stained – and laughed at each other's ugliness.

We said our goodbyes on the outskirts of the playground, and he had wanted me to go to the infirmary to get some medicine. And now I was horrified at the thought of medical stuff. So I said to reassure him that it was just a minor injury. Though both knees still stung, I smiled and sent him away with a glare.

He reached out his right hand and waved as he walked away.

I let go of my heart and climbed the wall back to the girls' dormitory.

When I returned to the dormitory, I lost my eyes, my mind still lingering because of the horrible thing I saw behind the second door. If there was a suspicion of murder in this school, and children at that – then this place was very dangerous.

I woke up in a daze to a timed alarm clock, last night's nightmares had left me with a very restless sleep.

After a hasty breakfast, Renglu and I rushed to the bulletin board.

Today is …… April 5th.

The bulletin board of the law department has been surrounded by students, and no one can get out in front or behind. I was squeezed to the periphery, and managed to get in and was squeezed out again. I was discouraged to look at my head taller research Lu, he had already entered the inner circle to watch the results without any difficulty.

When he came out fully clothed, I instantly understood how he got in. With his scores here, a lot of people would have voluntarily gotten out of his way.

"Well?" I asked apprehensively.

"It's been two years and you're still this stupid." He repeated the words from the end of the previous exam. I instantly felt a rush of anger and my veins flowed backwards throughout my body.

Sure enough I guessed right and waited all morning for everyone to disperse before I went back over to watch.

He was smirking in the background.

"Damn, third again!" I stomped my feet in discouragement, there was nothing more I could do at this moment to complain.

Liu Ke is second, and this soulless man behind me will always be first ……

I heard footsteps approaching and knew that he was coming to mock me again. Only to fly out and say, "Some other day!"

There was no escaping, and there were no classes that were not taken in the morning. At noon he took the initiative to come to the door of the girls' dormitory, and his roommate leaned in close to the window and said, "Woah woah, Mi, look."

"What ah?" I went over, morning research Lu that guy is hanging around eating a lollipop, playing with the phone.

"So handsome oh, so handsome ah. -" my roommate saw me freeze and asked, "Hey, he's waiting for you, right? When I occasionally fix the class, I have seen oh. You two like to eat together, talking and laughing roar."

Under my roommate's gossipy eyes, I changed out of my jacket, put on my cape, and prepared to go out.

"Tell me now! Is it a boyfriend ho?" She thumped after me, getting to the bottom of it.

I shook my head and pushed the door open, "No, you've got it all wrong."

Walking out, I cut off her skeptical gaze.

I walk out, the willow tree swaying with the spring breeze between us. He licked his lollipop and smiled innocently. It's the same smile that I've grown up with and can't get tired of seeing. Willow's smile was so warm that I walked up to him. Looking up at my third floor roommate's poking out head, I shouted upwards, "Hey! He says he thinks you're pretty!"

A small joke, while my roommate closed the window in a heartbeat and screamed.

"Hey! Homie you ……"

He saw me laughing and happy and wanted to say nothing more.

"We're going to be together from now on." He sputtered with his hands in his pockets and his mouth chewing on a lollipop. "We'll sit together at the afternoon celebration."

Curious as to what was wrong with him today, why he was being so forthcoming.

"What?" I looked at him and he said, "Nothing ……"

I suddenly remembered Liu Ke, "Liu Ke …… how is he these days?"

"I don't know." He gazed ahead and I stopped playfully. Looking over as well, I saw across the street in the small park – Liu Ke was lowering his head and kissing a girl with big wavy curls deeply.

My heart tightened, when did he get a girlfriend? I thought I knew him so well, but I couldn't even find that out.

On second thought, what's wrong with a college student having a girlfriend?

Seeing my face that I don't know what to express, Ranlu opened his mouth and said, "Why don't …… we also kiss one?"

I turned my head so that he wouldn't see my expression, my heart was comfortable. "Go away, you're so annoying."

He pretended to be helpless and goaded his shoulders.

We got to the restaurant and I ordered a curry. Not the slightest appetite, looking at the rice, do not want to eat at all.

Chen Yanlu saw it and grabbed it.

We were about to leave when we bumped into Liu Ke and his girlfriend head on. They were hugging each other as they walked towards us, and I slouched my shoulders to make way for them. Yanlu, on the other hand, directly stopped him and his girlfriend, sizing them both up with strange eyes. I hurriedly went over to pull Ranlu and tried to head for the exit. Unexpectedly, he shook me off and said, "When did you kid have a girlfriend? Or with the principal's daughter."

I calmly smiled, "Bless you all."

Liu Ke didn't say anything, his bangs blocking his eyes.

Not stopping, Rhenlu continued, "Our mentor just didn't have one, and you're looking for fun-"

"Enough Yanlu! Don't say it ……" I pulled him back, tears already falling down without me realizing it.

"You guys are not the same?" Liu Ke finished and left us with his girlfriend.

The big wavy curls lingered in our eyes until the strong scent of perfume no longer sucked at our nostrils. I looked up and tried to smile.

Why had it come to this, what had happened to Ryuk in the last few days?

Study Lou looked hostilely at the place where they had disappeared, unable to look away. As if the air around me dropped a couple dozen degrees, I consoled myself twice and told him, "Don't look, they're on a date."

He burped and walked out of the restaurant, full of concern.

The events of the past few days were so strange that I no longer had time to worry about feelings.

By two o'clock in the afternoon, my roommate said there would be a buffet at the festival.

"Cake yay, fruit yay, red wine yay-it's wonderful!" She gesticulated with her hands, "I wish every day was a celebration."

My attention was drawn to her as I browsed the web, watching her giggle. I felt the urge to pour cold water on her, "Idiot, if every day is a celebration. You'll eat like a fat pig."

"That's true too." She giggled a few times and ran over to me with her doll in her arms.

"I heard …… our school is haunted lately." Suddenly changed her face, making me mistake her for a different person.

The ones who know best are me and Chen Yanlu, I guess.

At 2:30 pm, we both locked the door and walked out of the dormitory. Roommate screamed out, I lowered my head and stepped on the willow leaf is thinking, by her a big jump.

Morning research dew still chewing a lollipop, waving in this direction. I did not respond to him, roommate is quite active.

I said, "What are you doing here."

He licked the lollipop and said, "I came to play with you."

My roommate's eyes got big and bright and he asked if we had a fight.

In unison, we said, "No!"

The three of us were in the gym, finally arriving at the gym. Already three o'clock, the students are sitting on the seat, we are far away from the very remote location.

Vaguely can only see the right side of the host, roommate sat in the middle of the two of us. She was embarrassed to smile a little, I have long guessed that a little heart.

Around the bright lights, an instant off. The originally noisy hall, suddenly silent.

I whispered to her front, said: "So like people, you go to confession ah?"

Although the light is very dark, can not see her features. I could only see her cheeks, which were flaming red, and I couldn't stop snickering.

The music boomed and came to life. A small flag was placed on the important stage, and the host began his speech with a gusto.

"Fellow students and teachers, thank you for attending our school's 180th founding celebration today, I announce the official start of the celebration-!"

After saying that, the host, who was dressed in a black suit, stepped down from the stage. Performers took the stage one after another, the students under the stage cheered.More than 50 composed of the choir began to perform …… for a full two hours, until my stomach indisputably grumbled, the performance only ended terminated.

The final speech of the host: "Thank you to all the performers, the celebration comes to an end. The following is the grand speech of the principal of our school! –"

After saying that, without waiting for the host to walk back behind the curtain, the huge stage suddenly went completely black.

I shook the sleeping Morning Research Dew up, and my roommate was still groggy.

A little bit can not hold urine, and so dark, I just had to ask him to accompany me out. Originally, I was not afraid of the dark, but since the last database incident led me to be particularly concerned or sensitive.

There is always a bad feeling, I said: "I want to go to the toilet, you accompany me out of the small door."

He nodded in a daze, and the two of us were about to get up with a cat's back.

A cold gust of wind cut through.

"Wow – bang!" The sound of a microphone hitting the ground was extraordinarily harsh.

Then, all the lights went on. The stage was in an uproar, and there was a lot of chatter. Research Dew and I stopped in our seats, neither of us saying a word.

By this time my cold sweat was seeping out, followed closely by a scream!

The falling microphone recorded the scream just in time, and the crowd's voices rose in waves.

Sensing something was wrong, I was busy pulling Kenroku towards the stage.

"Hey hey what are you doing?" He asked.

"What's the reason to ignore the school's first and third place case investigation students." I answer.

Sighing slightly "You take yourself too seriously." He tells me to stop, "I've had a feeling this school wasn't right for a long time."

I nodded and approached the stage with him.

The dozen or so teachers were all moving slowly from the last seats by now, and I looked out over the stage.

It was empty, nothing.

A bit of red to my left drew me in – and by the time I could see it, I had instantly felt cold!

Blood was bitching around the microphone, and the stage was too big for the smell to spread.

Chen Yanlu hurriedly stopped me from going forward, and cautiously said, "Don't be hasty, don't do anything that will make people suspicious!"

Although he did not have any reaction on the surface, but inwardly he had already been in chaos, right?

The stage did not respond for a long time, and the microphone was cut off. Within a minute, the smell of blood spread.

Screaming, panicking, running away. 5000 students exploded in a flash!

I was jostled and pushed and knocked onto the stage at the waist. I climbed up and walked behind the curtain from the right side. Already squeezed out of sight was Morning Research Dew, who had no time to think about anyone else. There was no one in the dressing room on the right, and I gasped and told myself to calm down. Must calm down, then open the back door of the locker room and walk through the passage to the left side of the curtain.

My heart followed and jumped into my throat, and I felt a particular fear. But my hands just uncontrollably wanted to open that door, and with a click, it was as if time had stopped.

Inside stood several figures, looking at the background only saw the host, sitting in the seat of the tuner. There is also a front and back tied a ponytail woman crying in pain, as well as lying on the ground, beer belly rushing to the sky got …… the principal.

I just wanted to go in, suddenly covered the mouth, holding hands. Was broken back into the locker room, still do not understand what happened, split face a slap!

"What do you do!" It was Morning Glory's voice, I touched my hot cheek, "You know how they'll suspect you if you go in there!"

I knew he was worried, I lowered my head, "I know, I'm sorry."

Study Lou's chest rose and fell in anger at me and I felt my cheek swell. But Ren kept his head down and didn't dare look at him, it was the first time I'd ever seen him angry. I really hoped it would be the last time, the heat growing closer in front of me wasn't denied. He wrapped his arms around me as if apologizing for hitting me earlier.

Time seemed to stop and I felt a strong heartbeat. Looking up Cong his shoulder to see red blood seeping out of the doorway, his body flinched for a second.

The blood vessels in my body flowed backwards, from the soles of my feet to my brain.

"Blood ……"

I pushed him away from the doorway.

'Clang-'

The door opens, and the bloody principal crawls with difficulty, pulling a long trail of blood behind him. Crawling from that end of the stage to this end, what is he trying to say …… And, I thought he was dead.

The hideous face, seeing us, smiled.

I was so scared that I hid behind Research Lou, and he took a step backward, and both of them retreated to the root of the wall. I only felt the headlights above my head trance for a moment, and the light closest to me quickly crashed down, dislodging itself from dozens of meters of black shed, and smashing straight into the principal. It was unrelenting, blood bitching away. All over the room, Research Dew was covered in it as if she had been pushed into a sea of blood just coming out, my eyes widened, the principal who had a breath of air the second before died right in front of my eyes!

There was still heavy blood on his face, I ran over and stepped on a puddle of rotten flesh. If it wasn't for Rhenlu holding me up, I might have collapsed on top of the bloodied principal.

Stunned, we quickly ran out. Walking to the center of the stage, the hall was empty.

We felt something was wrong, and soon, another headlamp swung overhead. He reacted quickly and grabbed me and immediately fell to the ground and rolled to the side. The headlamp clattered into crumbs in front of my eyes, and if it hadn't been for Morning Research Dew, I think I would have been pulverized.

I looked at the long trail of blood, my heart unexpectedly vomited hard.

By this time, the police had sounded outside.

He sidled into the starting point behind the curtain of the principal's murder, and I followed with trepidation.

"…… As I expected." He said as if to himself and to me.

I stepped out from behind him and two headlights smashed the tuner and the host like they were smashing the principal.

"Why ……," came the question squeezed out of the fat man, hoarse and feeble, as if it were no longer his own voice.

"Let's leave quickly, the police will be here soon."

He took my hand, and was about to get off the stage, when suddenly the lights across the stage shone straight at us.

"Walk away to wherever, the police are coming!"

An older man's voice came from somewhere, and soon the police were all around us.

We subconsciously raised our hands as a dozen of them approached the stage a little from all sides with pistols raised.

If Research Dew wasn't by my side, I would have fainted long ago.

It's too much of a mistake to be scapegoated for this series before I can figure out what's going on.

I looked helplessly at Chen Yanlu, while he firmly eyed the distance, not carrying the slightest bit of tension, full of concern for these gun heads.

"What are you looking at ……"

Before the words were finished, a large lamp quickly all crashed down, the room was suddenly wrapped in darkness.

Dozens of blood splattering sounds, although the sound is not loud, but in my ears deafening!

Research Dew sneered in the darkness, her cold hand pulling me, running super right. I stumbled, no longer knowing where I was.

Couldn't see the ground even when I tried hard to keep my eyes open, so I always dragged him down and almost ended up hurting my ankle.

Running out, he's wearing a ragged breath and I instantly freeze again.

Four police cars in front of us, sirens blaring, lights becoming blinding since we ran out.

"Damn it, take the two away!" The older man came out covering his right eye, a lot of blood coming out of his hand, I think he must have instantly dodged the falling object but was stabbed in the eye by the glass slag.

"Damn it! We are wrongly accused! What gives you the right to arrest us!" I hissed, like a fried kitten.

Research Dew stroked my hair and reached out to be snapped into handcuffs. Yet he was still handsome, leaving no trace of inferiority.

I was silently soothed by him and had to eat and shut up. Cold and merciless handcuffs were hung up, heavy and horrible.

Two police cars were left behind, and Uncle Left Eye sat in front of us, complaining the whole way with his little follower who was driving.

"Fuck! It's too weird, what the fuck kind of college is this, the dozen or so cops who went in with me don't know what happened to them. It's so weird, I had a bad feeling just coming in! …… Oh yeah, you two!" He hadn't finished complaining when, as if remembering something, he turned back to his right eye, which was barely wrapped in gauze a couple times.

"If you don't clear this with me, you're going to jail, even if you're minors! Pay for your lives!"

He finished grumpily, lighting up a cigarette and looking deep out the car window.

I broke out in a cold sweat, and Yanlu looked out the car window calmly.

I do think that the two of them have the same demeanor.

For a long time, we were sent to the police station.

Research Lu was a body enchanting female police to take away, I left the research Lu, I feel the air around is very depressing.

Uncle was sent to treatment, came a young male police.

Thin and frail, with small glasses, he said to me, "Please come in."

It was a torture room, so quiet you could hear a pin drop to the ground.

The man with the glasses pushed up his glasses and took out his document file and notebook. Cold and clear, he said, "You may now narrate."

I looked around and there was a TV across the room. Seeing that I cared, the glasses man turned it on.

There were a few clicks of the magnetic card and the small TV showed Research Dew and the policewoman.

I knew they were across the street, and the policewoman was wearing a short leather skirt, black stockings, and twelve centimeter heels. It was as if she had stepped out of a TV show, her red lipstick sultry and not too flashy.

Her legs were crossed, her long slender fingers powerfully pointing at the table. Eyes glanced at the camera, she should also know that we turned on the TV.

Research Dew sat across from the policewoman and didn't say a word.

I could only get as far as looking at the side of his face, angular and without a hint of expression. The eyes just looked at the policewoman, faintly.

Glasses man did not say anything, turn up the TV sound.

We heard, the policewoman said clearly word by word: "Just now that is your girlfriend, right, you are so small, on the crime of murder can not be good oh."

Finished, high heels strong left the seat, walked to his side.

Slender legs, separated to do his legs.

I felt my face red, the air around me embarrassed for a few minutes.

The policewoman stroked her cheeks, and Ranlu smiled slightly. With just a smile, I believe he has the ability to make the policewoman spring.

As expected, the pair of lips as red as a delicate fire printed on him to get.

I instantly almost screamed out, the man with glasses pushed his glasses again, as if he was used to it, "That's the way she handles herself, next it's our turn."

I stood up, the handcuffs making a noise in my surprise. Taking a few steps back and covering my chest, is this still a police station!

"Don't worry, all you have to do is describe. I'm not that sick."

He reassured me, lowering his head and pushing his glasses up again.

I sat down carefully, the blood on my body already dried. Research Dew's jacket was stained with blood, thought it must have thrown in the darkness of the escape.

I said, "We're innocent, just bystanders, witnesses!"

He pushes his eyes and picks up a pen.

Said, "Tell me the cause and effect."

I nodded and began to describe, "We were all college students at that university, and the school said they were having a festival on April 4th, and everyone had to be there. The two-hour show ended successfully, and at the end, the host said that he would like to invite the president to speak. ……" I didn't want to remember the painful scene, but I was forced to describe it, "Before the president could come out, he was killed behind the curtain. I went in from the other side of the locker room and tried to check behind the curtain. I went in from the other side of the locker room to see what was going on. I was about to run out of the locker room when the principal actually crawled from that end to this end." I paused, seeing the man with the glasses taking his statement very seriously, looking at the TV again as he spoke. The policewoman was sitting on him, naturally holding a notebook to record what Research Dew said. Research Lou just described it leisurely, just like me, as if what was on top of him was just air.

"He seemed to be trying to say something, waving his hand at us, and before he could say it – the light from the upper shed crashed down on him, bloodying him up. We were bitch-slapped with blood." I stood up and said in an agitated tone, "Mr. Policeman, please believe we are innocent! We're just witnesses!"

Taken aback, the man with the glasses stood up and held me down, pushed his glasses up and said, "Take it easy. I've heard you're honor students in the case investigation department, so can you tell me how you feel about this?" He took a sip of water, closed his notebook, and said, "I heard there was video of you guys being present at the playground explosion not too long ago, too. What's that about?"

I wet my back with cold sweat, layer after layer.

"I …… don't know, it really just happened!"

"Oh." The glasses guy stood up and packed up his things with full concern, and the only thing left in the TV set was the empty room. Research Lou and the others had come out!

I excitedly followed Glasses Guy out, Research Lou had already had her handcuffs removed, while I still had them on. Glasses Guy didn't uncuff me, he wrapped his arms around Glasses Guy and said, "What's going on?"

Glasses Guy pushed up his glasses and said, "She's not descriptive, she's a suspect."

"How can that be, she's got to be with me." He said coldly, his tone lowering as if the air around him followed suit by a few dozen degrees.

The policewoman intervened, looking me up and down. I was particularly uncomfortable with her stare and could only avert my eyes from her.

"Hey? This is your girlfriend ah …… really classless."

She finished, full of pity sidestepped into the office.

"I …… I'm not ……"

"Homi!"

Research dew loudly called out my name, asked the glasses man, "Unlock her!"

Glasses Guy took his laptop and calmly said as he walked away, "She's suspected of the playground bombing and needs to stay."

"Then I'll stay too!"

After Research Dew finished speaking as if she was playing a tantrum, the policewoman heard the excitement and ran out of the office. Asked, "Really really?"

I think this woman must have liked him.
