Deep in the Living

Chapter 68: Cold Teaching Building
Looking at the bloody scene in the security room,
Feeling the residual warmth of some of the corpses,
Combined with what Xiaoying said about the sound coming from the classroom on the fifth floor, Luo Di roughly reconstructed the incident in his mind.

After the monitor separated from them,

With the support of the investigator's combat uniform, he successfully escaped to the security room outside the teaching building and reunited with the security brigade there.

The fake person related to the skin did not give up. She had already regarded the squad leader as a target that must be killed.

Using her own unique abilities and absolute advantages in the crack environment, she infiltrates the skin of the security team stationed here and ultimately carries out large-scale killings.

Almost all the security team was killed, and the squad leader might be the last survivor.
Gao Yuxuan arrived at the critical moment and covered the squad leader's retreat in time.

The squad leader, who was injured, exhausted, and even had his investigator uniform damaged, could no longer run as fast as before, and could not run to the gymnasium to ask the teachers for help.

In addition, it is impossible to lead the fake person to the more dangerous infirmary.
The two could only barely escape into the teaching building, trying to delay time by taking advantage of the complex environment inside the building.

Thinking of this, Luo Di immediately rushed out of the security room and looked up at the fifth floor of the teaching building.

There was indeed a faint sound coming from above, but it was so small that it was impossible to distinguish the type of sound. But now was not the time to hesitate, and Luo Di immediately signaled Xiaoying behind him to follow him closely.

If we follow the sequence of events he has sorted out,
Both the squad leader and Gao Yuxuan were in a very dangerous situation.
Moreover, Rody also believed that the entire security team would not be easily wiped out, and that fake person would inevitably be injured in the process.

As long as we can meet up with the squad leader and the others, maybe we can kill the target together as we did in previous practices.

but,

Rody always felt like there was a thorn in his heart, making him feel very uncomfortable. There seemed to be something wrong with the whole gap incident, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Now there are three paths left for him.

1. Assist his first friend in many years, and together they defeat the enemy and escape danger as they did in the past.

2. Hurry to the track and field stadium to seek help from teachers, but there is a great possibility that they will become Gong Xin's flesh and blood nourishment.

3. According to Teacher Guo, go to the relatively safe dormitory building and hide like a dog until everything is over.

But Rody didn't make a choice at all, or in his eyes there was only this one way.

Looking at the teaching building that had accompanied him for three years, it was too quiet under the cover of night and exuded an unprecedented strangeness.

The lights at the entrance of the corridor flickered at a frequency that seemed to be waving.

Want to go in?

Luo Di rushed in immediately.

When the soles of your shoes step on the smooth surface of the stairs, a slight sound is made.
Ring ring ring!
The get out of class bell that shouldn't have sounded suddenly rang.
Soon after, a large number of students poured down from upstairs, and the whole corridor was filled with laughter, as if they had really returned to the time after school.

Rody himself didn't feel anything was wrong. Deep in his mind there was only one goal - "find the squad leader and Xiao Gao".

Continue up.
Every student who passed by seemed to exist in real life, and Roddy scanned every face as much as possible, trying to find a face that looked like the class monitor.

At first, these faces had specific outlines.

As the number increased and the floors got higher, the students' faces gradually lost some of their facial features, or even disappeared entirely.

But Rody didn't think there was anything wrong and he was still looking for the two people.

When there was only one floor left on the fifth floor where the classroom was located, all the students had left school and the entire corridor became quiet again. There was still no sign of the class monitor and Xiao Gao.

Maybe they are in the classroom.

With this thought in mind, Rody continued to climb the stairs.

Just then, a voice came from above.

It was not the sound of shoes stepping on the stairs, but the sound of something hitting the stairs. It was strange, Rody had never heard such a sound before.

What is certain is that something is moving down from the fifth floor.
And Rody was walking up from the fourth floor.

The speed of both is almost the same.
Because there was a concrete wall separating the stairwell, Roddy couldn't see what it was directly, and had to walk to the corner between the two floors to find out the answer.

Getting closer to the corner,
The voice became clearer and clearer. Rody seemed to have heard this voice somewhere before.

When I stepped onto the last step, the things on the opposite side also "fell" down at the same time.

There is nothing to see in the horizontal field of vision.
Something hit the shoe.
Luo Di seemed to have guessed what it was. Cold sweat squeezed out from deep in his pores like crazy, sliding down his cheeks, as if urging Luo Di to look down quickly. Even if he didn't want to look, he had to confirm it.
The downward view moves slowly and jitterily,
A soft black hair first came into view, scattered on the stairs.
There is some kind of spherical object hidden under the overly dense black hair, but it is currently completely covered and the face cannot be seen clearly.

Even with his shoes on, Rody could still feel the coldness coming from the black hair and the chill brought by the ball.

To verify,

He could only bend down and reach out to touch the lifeless black hair to find the answer to the question in his heart.
When I gently lifted the top strand of hair,

The pink lips were half exposed, and the familiar nose bridge could be vaguely seen.

The skin that the nails touch is also so soft and familiar.
Continue to lift the hair above the bridge of the nose.
Slowly peel off...

stare!
Eyes filled with deathly silence, pupils completely dilated, even though they were distracted they still managed to look Rody in the eye.

Finally found it,
The monitor is right under his feet.

At this moment, the squad leader suddenly opened his mouth. When he was about to say something, Rody habitually clicked his tongue.

despair!
The crisp sound of tongues tore through the silence in the corridor.

At the same time, a hand with human body temperature that obviously did not belong to this environment touched Rody's forehead, and the breath of a living thing came.

hum!
Zizzi~
The flickering light illuminates the number [4] on the stairwell.

There was no head beneath his feet.

The only person in the stairwell was Xiaoying. She was standing on tiptoe on the front step, using the height provided by the step to put her hand on Luo Di's forehead.

Seriousness and fear, these two expressions that should not appear at the same time, are now on her face.
Xiaoying breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Rody's eyes gradually focus, become bright and look at her.

"Phew~ I was so scared, Luo Di, you were walking just now and suddenly stopped moving, and your forehead felt cold to the touch, but it's finally warming up now.

Don't be too emotional, the cracks are always trying to get into our minds, and if we don't pay attention, they may turn into something strange. "

"Thank you."

Rody did not stop for a moment. Even though it was just the influence of his thinking caused by the gap, when he thought of the head, his pace could not help but speed up.

Arrived at the fifth floor,

Class 5 of Grade is the second classroom on the left side of the stairs. It takes less than ten steps to reach the classroom door.

But when the two walked out of the stairs and turned to the passage on the left, they were stunned at the same time. Xiaoying even grabbed Luo Di's empty sleeve out of nervousness.

The passage in front of me was almost infinitely extended.
The original semi-open passage (with classrooms on one side and guardrails on the other) has now become a closed structure with classrooms on both sides, extending infinitely into the depths.

Obviously, the influence of the gap has reached here, or in other words, it has specifically affected the fifth layer.

"Walk."

Luo Di was not afraid at all. With only one arm, he continued to move forward with the knife in hand. Xiaoying also thought of the squad leader's smiling face, so she mustered up the courage to follow him quickly.

When passing by the surrounding classrooms, they also subconsciously looked at the doorplates.
Senior 3 Class█
The class number was painted with a black square, and the same thing happened to the classroom on the other side.

Moreover, some of the glass in the middle of each classroom was covered with newspapers, while others were nailed with wooden boards, so it was impossible to see what was going on inside clearly, but one could faintly hear people talking or even reciting texts.

Occasionally, the interior of some classrooms could be seen, but the seats were empty. However, the multimedia was automatically playing strange and meaningless images, and the ceiling fans were also turning.

Faced with this endless passage, Rody gradually lost his patience and changed from walking to running, until...

Snapped!
His feet stepped on a pool of blood that was almost solidified due to the cold, and he subconsciously turned his head to look.

【Senior 5 Class 】

I reached out and pushed open the unlocked front door of the classroom.
Because all the windows of the classroom were sealed and the external light source was destroyed, the interior space was completely dark, without a single ray of light.

This kind of absolute darkness makes people feel very uncomfortable.
I could only use a flashlight to peer inside.
Wherever the light source reaches,
A corpse was nailed to the blackboard, spread out in a large letter shape.

But the gray hair hanging from the top of his head probably confirmed that this was the fake person related to the skin, and he was no longer alive.
