Chapter 0763 – One No More, One No Less
In addition to the books and work schedule, Chen Ge also found a set of keys and a pair of scissors with polished edges in his backpack.
”The keys in Xiao Lin’s backpack have all different teeth marks, so they should be able to open doors in different places.”
Chen Ge didn’t know why Xiao Lin had this set of keys, and he felt that the keys should be related to Xiao Lin’s “homework”.
”The work and rest sheet mentions the dormitory, more clues should be hidden in the dormitory, we must go over there as soon as possible to take a look, I feel that as time goes by, something even worse will happen.”
With the staff not around and the black cell phone nowhere to be found, Chen Ge’s every nerve had now been tensed, and he was going to do his best to survive.
Casually pulling the curtains closed, no matter what thoughts were in his head, Chen Ge always had a calm look on the surface.
After he finished stretching, he proceeded to lie down on the table again, surveying the surrounding classmates from the corner of his eye.
With his attention highly focused, Chen Ge memorized the appearance of each of his classmates in his mind.
”This is the first time I’ve seen everyone here, and there’s no sense of familiarity in them that I’m familiar with, they look exactly like ordinary people.” How could those who could appear behind the “door” be ordinary people, Chen Ge memorized their looks just to prevent being victimized by those around him, “The one under the bed came in before me, if he’s Chang Lone, why can’t I see him here? Could it be that he’s already gone to another classroom? Or was the person who pushed the door open not him at all?”
Chen Ge did feel at first that the person who pushed the door in Chang Wenyu’s hospital room was Chang Lone, because that door was only visible to the left eye, which was on Chang Lone’s body.
But the problem was that Chang Lone had been taken away by the “parents” for some time, and it wasn’t without the possibility of an accident.
”It’s better to be cautious, the world behind the door has no friends, much less trust.”
Chen Ge pondered his next step, wanting to be as foolproof as possible, because he had no chance of making a mistake now, and if a certain choice went wrong, death might even become a luxury.
Footsteps came from the front door of the classroom, and a few moments later the door to the room was pushed open and a man with a center-parted hairstyle walked up to the podium.
He was dressed all in black with a white file under his armpit, and it felt like he was going to a funeral.
The man’s face was also unnaturally white, and he looked nervous as he placed the folder on the table.
Without saying a word, he first counted the students in the classroom in a whisper.
At the end of the count, his face gradually eased and he glanced down at the numbers on the folder, “One no more, one no less.”
His eyes swept over the students once again, a smile appeared on the man’s face, “Alright, class is over, don’t run around at night, the school has been a bit unsettled lately.”
”Mr. Bai, hasn’t that peeping tom guy been caught yet? Do you need our help?” A strong looking boy in the first row spoke up, he was wearing a jersey and usually seemed to be very athletic.
”It has nothing to do with you guys, just don’t run around after class.” Mr. Bai said and left in a hurry, even forgetting to take that white folder.
”Xiao Lin, let’s go, let’s go back to the dormitory.” Chen Ge’s deskmate collected his textbooks and carried his bag, ready to leave, he seemed to be on good terms with Xiao Lin.
”Wait a moment.” Chen Ge slowly organized his backpack, but his eyes looked towards the white folder on the podium.
He used his Yin pupil and saw that the number of people in each class was tallied on the table on the first page of the folder.
Each class was headed by a teacher, and the corresponding teacher for each class seemed to be counted in the total number of people in that class.
”17 people in class D?” There was a class number printed on the front door of the classroom, and Chen Ge was in class D. And the number of people in this class he had just checked was indeed exactly 17.
”It’s really one no more, one no less, provided that you don’t count the teachers included.”
Chen Ge didn’t know what was going on in this school, nor did he know what Teacher Bai and the others were worried about, but he knew that this class he was in was very unsafe.
”We can’t stay with them, let’s leave first.”
After realizing that there was an extra person in his class, Chen Ge didn’t stay much longer and headed outside with his bag.
The corridors were all fitted with voice-activated lights that would light up whenever someone made a sound.
”This place really doesn’t look any different from a normal school, but why am I so uneasy in my heart?”
Without a map and without Xiao Lin’s memories, Chen Ge had no idea where the dormitory was.
He purposely slowed down his steps and waited for his tablemate to come over before naturally walking side by side with the other person towards the building.
”Xiao Lin, I’m a bit hungry, should we go to the cafeteria?” Xiao Lin’s deskmate scratched his head, and his appearance looked a bit cute.
Just now in the classroom, Chen Ge saw the name on his textbook, this not very old, somewhat green and shy boy was called Wang Xiaoming.
His family environment was similar to Xiao Lin’s, neither of them were the kind of people who were particularly rich.
”I forgot something in my dorm room, let’s go back together first.” Before figuring out Xiao Lin’s identity information, Chen Ge would not just go anywhere else.
Every minute and every second was very precious to him right now, and he wanted to have a certain level of self-protection before this scenario revealed its “fangs”.
”It’s okay.” Wang Xiaoming and Chen Ge entered the building’s hallway, and there were many pictures of doctors plastered on the walls.
It was reasonable to say that only people who had made great contributions or were very famous would have their pictures hung on the walls of the school, but all of the pictures hanging in this school were of doctors who were not very famous, and Chen Ge could not recognize any of them anyway.
”Why are there so many pictures of doctors hanging in the school?”
Chen Ge didn’t ask, he just felt that walking in such a building was very depressing, as if he was being watched.
The two quickly walked out of the school building, and the student apartments were not far away from the school building.
Looking around, Chen Ge realized that there were a few more tall buildings on the west side of the school, where people and shadows were swaying, much more lively than the west campus.
Without stopping, Chen Ge and Wang Xiaoming entered the student residence.
There were several announcements with red lines drawn on the door of the dormitory, Chen Ge didn’t have time to take a closer look, Wang Xiaoming had already run past the dormitory door with a quick step, and he didn’t seem to be willing to stop at the entrance of the building.
The two of them ran to the fourth floor in one breath, Wang Xiaoming was very fast, and Chen Ge followed closely behind him before he wasn’t left behind.
”Every time I go back to my dormitory building, I feel panic in my heart.” Wang Xiaoming ran to the door of his dormitory before he breathed a sigh of relief, he smiled at Chen Ge, took out his key and opened the door.
Chen Ge was about to follow him in when Wang Xiaoming suddenly blocked the doorway, “What are you doing?”
”Going back to my dorm room to get something.”
”Don’t you live across the street? You forgot something in my place? You’ve been in my dormitory?!” Wang Xiaoming looked at Chen Ge in surprise, and his left leg secretly kicked a black garbage bag at the doorway toward the corner.
