This was the second time he entered Room 413. This time, with Wang Xiaoming's company, Chen Ge did not panic that much.
"Xiao Lin, don't you usually clean your room? You're supposed to be the only one staying here, but it feels like there are several people living here. " This appeared to be the first time Wang Xiaoming had entered Room 413, and this confused Chen Ge even more. The two rooms were so close to each other. Even if they did not visit each other, when they opened and closed the door, they should have seen what was going on inside the door before, unless Xiao Lin had been purposely hiding it.
"My eyesight is not that good. Can you help me see what's on the wall?" Chen Ge did not fully trust Wang Xiaoming. He did not dare leave the man alone at the door. What if the man suddenly went crazy and locked him inside the room again? That would be bad.
"Okay." Wang Xiaoming did not seem to know how scary Room 413 was. In his eyes, this was just a normal bedroom.
Grabbing the handrail, Wang Xiaoming climbed directly onto Bed No. 1. He reached out to touch the wall. "There are no posters on this wall, so why are there so many nails?"
"Nails?" When Wang Xiaoming climbed onto Bed No. 1, Chen Ge quickly ran over to Bed No. 4. He planned to take all the notes and information with him and never return to this bedroom again.
"Yes, and what's with the shadow on the wall? It looks like a living person is crawling on the wall. Aren't you afraid to sleep at night? "Just looking at it made Wang Xiaoming feel uncomfortable.
Chen Ge did not answer. He was still thinking about what Wang Xiaoming had said earlier.
There was originally a shadow at the spot where Wang Xiaoming was touching, but it had run out from the room earlier and disappeared.
"Let me take a look." Chen Ge picked up his backpack and climbed onto Bed No. 1. He reached out to touch the wall. The white paint was filled with nails.
All the nails were at the spot where the shadow had appeared. Did that mean that it was these nails that pinned the shadow to the wall?
Chen Ge was thinking when he felt a pain in his stomach.
"Bugs?" Chen Ge pulled up his shirt and saw a small wound on his stomach. Because the wound was so small, there was no blood.
"Insects crawled into my clothes?" He took off his coat and checked it. He didn't find any insects in it. Instead, he found a sharp nail in his coat pocket!
"Xiao Lin, why do you still carry nails with you? Aren't you afraid of pricking yourself? " Wang Xiaoming only thought it was strange, but he did not seem surprised. From his reaction, Chen Ge speculated that Xiao Lin was an anomaly in the class. No matter what he did, everyone thought it was normal.
"I'm fine." Although he said he was fine, Chen Ge's heart couldn't calm down.
The nail that was originally used to nail Phantom to the wall suddenly appeared in his pocket and stabbed him. This was definitely not a coincidence.
"Is that guy looking for a scapegoat?" Chen Ge sighed inwardly. If he had not returned to the dormitory, he would not have realized what the problem was until he was nailed to the wall.
"I was kind enough to open the door for him, but he actually bit the hand that fed him and used me as a scapegoat?" Chen Ge compared the nail in his pocket to the one hidden under the wall, and he confirmed that they were the same type.
"It's understandable that he's looking for a scapegoat, but at least he should have told me first. It's so rude to not tell me." Chen Ge slowly calmed down. He took out a pair of scissors to remove the nail from the wall, but the nail was very deep. With just a pair of scissors, the efficiency was too low.
"This place sure is full of danger. If I'm not careful, I probably won't even know how I died." In just a few minutes, Chen Ge felt like he was pricked again, and this time, it came from his calf.
He shook his pants, and a short nail fell out.
"Now it appears very slowly, and it doesn't hurt, but as time goes on, will these nails appear faster and faster? Will they go deeper and deeper each time? "
Chen Ge did not mind being pricked once, but he was worried that the nail might appear at any time, and the location of its appearance was not fixed. If he was running and the nail suddenly appeared in his shoes, then it would be over.
Other than that, Chen Ge considered another possibility. If he ignored it, the nail might appear inside his body, and then it would not be as simple as being pricked.
"No wonder I've been feeling this sense of urgency. This place is too dangerous."
Without figuring out his identity and the scenario, Chen Ge had already entered the rhythm of a slow death. Even so, he managed to maintain his calm.
"When I woke up, I was in class. After Mr. Bai appeared, he repeatedly emphasized that I was not allowed to leave the room and asked me to stay in the bedroom. Is that some kind of psychological hint that he has placed on me? The discovery and the contents of the notes all pointed to the bedroom. To find out my identity, the best choice is the bedroom. This is a place that I have to go to. "Chen Ge had no choice, but now that he thought about it, he noticed two details.
First, when Chen Ge requested to return to the bedroom, Wang Xiaoming had said that he wanted to go to the cafeteria.
Whether it was intentional or not, if Chen Ge had followed him to the cafeteria, it would have temporarily prevented this from happening.
This meant that Wang Xiaoming had no intention of harming him in this matter. Of course, this did not prove that Wang Xiaoming was a good person. Perhaps there was something scarier waiting for Chen Ge at the cafeteria, and he merely wanted to lure Chen Ge there to kill him.
Secondly, before lights out, Mr. Bai purposely came to check whether Chen Ge was in the bedroom or not.
At the time, Mr. Bai's expression was filled with fear. He did not step into Room 413, which meant that he knew how dangerous Room 413 was.
Knowing that there was something wrong with Room 413, he allowed Chen Ge to sleep there. There had to be something wrong with this person.
In conclusion, Chen Ge came to a conclusion in his heart. Wang Xiaoming might not be a good person, but Mr. Bai definitely had an ulterior motive!
Chen Ge memorized all the people that he had met, the words that they had said, and the expressions that they had made. This was not because he had a good memory but because he had a strong will to live.
'Room 413 is very dangerous, but after I entered it, I was not killed immediately. I was merely used as a substitute by the scapegoat. Furthermore, the scapegoat used such a slow method to take my place. Looks like this mission is not completely hopeless after all.' Chen Ge looked at the other human-shaped shadows in the bedroom. There should be a large patch of nails under each of the human-shaped shadows.
The scapegoat has found me, and I have been poked by the nails. If I remove all the nails from this bedroom and use them to poke other people, what will happen?
Chen Ge had already been poked twice by the nails that had appeared out of nowhere. If this was someone else, they would have tossed those scary nails away or buried them.
However, Chen Ge did not do that. If anything, he put the nails away and planned to go out to find someone that he did not like to poke them a few times.
These nails can pin down ghosts, so they should be able to deal some damage to lingering spirits and baleful Specters. This is a good thing, but will it cause panic if I use these nails to poke people in the middle of the night?
Chen Ge thought this method was doable. I can keep some of the nails for now. Next, my main focus is to find the scapegoat and try to convince him to cooperate with me to nail other people. If that doesn't work, I'll have to try to nail him back to the wall.
Looking at the nails on the wall, Chen Ge used the scissors to try again, but he still could not remove them.
I'll need a hammer and a hammer to pull out the nails. There should be a maintenance room at the school. If only I can get my hands on some tools.
Chen Ge's mind was very flexible. He would never stick to a single point. I should bring some practical tools with me to deal with more complicated situations.
"Xiao Lin? Xiao Lin! "Wang Xiaoming waved his hand on Chen Ge's face." What are you thinking about? Why are you smiling? "
"Xiaoming, do you know where our school's maintenance room is?" Chen Ge asked casually.
"Why are you asking that?" Wang Xiaoming did not understand what was going on in Chen Ge's mind. The two were not on the same wavelength.
"The door of my bedroom keeps having problems. It will make noise at night, so I'm looking for some tools to fix it." Chen Ge jumped down from bed No. 1 and stood at the door.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's near the staff dormitory. Students rarely go there. I think you should wait until tomorrow to contact the dormitory manager, even though the manager of our building …" Wang Xiaoming shivered and did not continue.
"There's no need to trouble the manager. This is just a small problem. I can handle it myself." Chen Ge knew the approximate location of the maintenance room. It was near the staff dormitory, but the problem was, Chen Ge had no idea where the staff dormitory was.
"Running around after lights out, if the teachers catch you, they'll punish you severely! Xiao Lin, you have to think this through. It's fine if you want to go somewhere else, but the maintenance room is right next to the staff dormitory! "
"It is indeed a bit dangerous, but I really can't stay in this bedroom. The door creaks at night, and I can't sleep at all." Chen Ge looked at Wang Xiaoming with sincerity. "Brother, how about I sleep at your bedroom tonight? I see that you're the only person in your bedroom; the other beds are all empty."
"You want to sleep at my bedroom?" Wang Xiaoming's face twitched. After giving it some thought, he said, "I think it's better for me to go to the maintenance room. Even if I run into the teachers, as long as I communicate with them and explain the reason, they should understand."
"Okay, then how about you drop me off somewhere near the staff dormitory?" Chen Ge grabbed Wang Xiaoming's arm, and he showed no intention of letting go.
After a short stalemate in the bedroom, Wang Xiaoming finally agreed. "Okay, but I'll leave when I get there. I will definitely not enter the staff dormitory."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. You're my only friend, after all." Wang Xiaoming returned to his bedroom to change his shoes. Chen Ge closed the door to Room 413. While waiting for Wang Xiaoming, he took out his notebook to look through the information about the student who had been murdered at the dormitory.
"An oil painting major? He's usually a coward and doesn't like to talk, but he's a very kind person. He likes to stay in the oil painting room alone to paint strange paintings. "There were some scattered pieces of information in Xiao Lin's notebook, and Chen Ge pieced them together.
"I need to find the tools first. If there's not enough time, I'll try to prick Mr. Bai with nails. If there's enough time, I'll go take a look around the oil painting room."
After Wang Xiaoming changed his shoes, the two entered the stairwell together.
"Xiao Lin, don't make too much noise. If the dormitory manager comes, it'll be over for both of us." Wang Xiaoming was very afraid of the dormitory manager, and Chen Ge also started to wonder what kind of person a dormitory manager was.
Could a normal person scare Wang Xiaoming to this extent?
If not for the emergency, Chen Ge really would have gone to see what the dormitory manager looked like.
The two came to the first floor. The door to the dormitory was not locked.
"Quick!"
Wang Xiaoming waved at Chen Ge, and the two of them ran toward the door.
However, just as they were about to reach the door, the curtain of the dormitory manager's room was pulled back, and a white face was stuck to the window. Next to this face was the notice that forbade students from leaving after lights out.
The window was slowly pushed open, and a wave of cold air drifted out from inside the room.
"Run! The dormitory manager is here! "
Chen Ge had no idea whether the dormitory manager had seen them or not, but he grabbed Wang Xiaoming and ran out of the dormitory.
The two ran for a long time in the dark campus. It was not until the surroundings returned to normal that they dared to stop and find a corner to catch their breath.
"It's over, Xiao Lin! I'm going to die because of you! We've been discovered by the dormitory manager! "
"Why are you panicking? He didn't see the face. " Chen Ge thought back to the dormitory manager's white face, and he also felt quite creeped out. That face did not belong to a living person.
Be it Wang Xiaoming, Mr. Bai, or the other students in the class, they looked like normal people on the surface. In fact, they even had body temperature.
But the dormitory manager was completely different from these people. The face inside the window was devoid of life and expression.
"The dormitory manager is different from other people. This can be considered an important find. If there's a chance, I should try to poke him with the nails or use him as my scapegoat."
Chen Ge kept adjusting his plan based on the clues that he had found, but the general direction did not change.
The campus at night was very scary. Chen Ge had no idea why, but it appeared like the buildings that were especially busy in the day and almost empty at night all had this characteristic.
After walking in the dark for a few minutes, Wang Xiaoming, who had been silent, suddenly stopped.
"We're here? This is the staff dormitory? "Chen Ge saw the outline of a low building in the dark.
"We're not there yet. I just feel like since we've been discovered, there's no point in worrying about those things." Wang Xiaoming seemed to have come around.
"Why? Do you plan to follow me to the maintenance room? "Chen Ge felt like something was wrong with Wang Xiaoming.
Shaking his head, Wang Xiaoming turned to look at Chen Ge. The man's breathing was heavy, and his lips were red like he was chewing on something hard.
After a long time, he squeezed out the words from between his teeth. "This is the canteen."
"The canteen?"
They had agreed to go to the maintenance room, but Wang Xiaoming changed his mind midway and silently led Chen Ge to the entrance of the canteen.
