Wang Xiaoming was not acting normally. His eyes were bloodshot like a desperate gambler. This was completely different from when he was in the male dormitory.
"Let's go to the maintenance room first. After we get the stuff, I'll accompany you to the canteen to get some food." Chen Ge knew that Wang Xiaoming's change had started after he was seen by the dormitory manager. It felt like his plan had been seen through, and he had given up.
Carrying the backpack, Chen Ge held the nail in one hand and patted Wang Xiaoming's shoulder with the other. "You're my only friend. Trust me."
Wang Xiaoming's warmth came from his palm. Chen Ge's deskmate looked weird, but he was no different from a normal person.
Compared to a ghost, he was more like a troubled child with a mental illness.
Facing a child like this, one could not reject their request — one had to give them more love and help.
"But … I'm really hungry." Wang Xiaoming's lips were making crunching noises. His lips were dyed red from the blood that leaked out from his mouth.
He's chewing on his own teeth?
Chen Ge had seen someone similar in Li Wan City — the boss at the hotel's fridge. The woman suffered from bulimia, and when she was hungry, she would consume everything in her mouth, including her teeth and tongue.
Only by constantly chewing and swallowing could the hunger that came from the spirit be alleviated.
"Brother, if you really can't take it anymore, we should split up. You go to the canteen, and I'll go to the maintenance room." After the few minutes of experience inside the bedroom, Chen Ge understood how dangerous this scenario was. It was filled with danger, and he would fall into their trap if he was not careful.
Under such circumstances, he would not follow Wang Xiaoming to a place that was completely foreign to him.
Chen Ge had made his stance clear. They would part ways on good terms. Don't do anything to me, and I won't harm you.
Based on Chen Ge's prediction, Wang Xiaoming would either choose to leave on his own, or he would turn on him immediately.
The two stood in the dark. A cold breeze that came from who knew where crawled into his collar. Wang Xiaoming, who had a strange expression on his face, lowered his head to think for a while before slowly coming to his senses.
He made a decision that confused Chen Ge. "Never mind, I'll follow you. We'll go to the cafeteria after we find what we need. "
Wang Xiaoming massaged the muscles on his face, acting as if nothing had happened.
"You're a great friend." Chen Ge put his arm around Wang Xiaoming's shoulders. One of them silently raised his hand to wipe away the blood on his lips, and the other silently put away the nails in his palm.
"Let's go this way." The two of them had a tacit understanding, but they each had their own ulterior motives.
Wang Xiaoming led the way, and Chen Ge followed behind him. His brain did not stop working.
Everyone in the school was very strange. It seemed that they didn't simply want to kill Chen Ge, but had their own motives.
"What do they want?" Chen Ge felt like there was an invisible net being spread out around him, and every knot in the net was a person in the school.
After leaving the cluster of low buildings, Wang Xiaoming led Chen Ge in the opposite direction.
"The staff dormitory is close to the field behind the school. It's very secluded, and normally, not many people go there." Wang Xiaoming had returned to normal. He seemed to have gotten rid of the fear brought by the dormitory manager. "Speaking of which, our school is really too much. The new students have a specialized sports hall, and all the good resources for the field have been given to the new students. Those of us in the night school are like a stepmother."
"It's good that we can learn the knowledge. The rest is just the process." Only Chen Ge, who had been through so many trials by the black phone, would have such mental fortitude. Even when he was walking on the edge of life and death, he could still calmly give others chicken soup.
Walking through a forest, there was a row of old fences before them, and they were still entangled with steel wire.
Through the gaps in the fence, they could see a small field not far away. It was about one fourth the size of a normal field. There was no goal, no sports equipment, and the field was bare.
If not for the few running tracks that were randomly drawn on the ground, Chen Ge would not have been able to connect this empty field to a field.
"Do you see the small building next to it? That is the staff dormitory, but strangely enough, even though this place is called the staff dormitory, I rarely see any teachers staying here. " Wang Xiaoming pointed at one of the buildings on the other side of the field. "The main entrance will be too easily discovered by the teachers. We'll take a detour through the forest."
Wang Xiaoming was very familiar with the surroundings, and that made Chen Ge feel like something was wrong. Would a normal student know so much about the staff dormitory?
Thinking about this, he became even more curious about his deskmate.
"With my power alone, the chance of me escaping is almost zero. I need someone who has the same interest as me to help me." Everyone at this school seemed to have their own story. Actually, even Chen Ge was curious about how they ended up there.
Normally speaking, the door was a world of despair that was weaved from the door-pusher's memory. Everything revolved around the door-pusher, and all the clues revolved around the door-pusher.
But this door seemed to be different. Everyone had their own past, and everyone was fighting for something.
"School of the Afterlife, students, graduation …" Several pieces of information appeared in Chen Ge's mind. He tried to connect them together. "Oh well, the clues that I have are still too few. This place is split into two campuses. After I find the scapegoat, I'll go to the other campus to take a look. Perhaps I'll find something there."
When he woke up, he found himself behind the door. Without even knowing who he was, Chen Ge had managed to find his way out.
Bending his back to walk through the forest, there was a thick layer of fallen leaves beneath his feet. Stepping on them felt like stepping on human flesh. It was a very strange feeling, but he could not tell where the problem was.
"This is the place." The two took a big detour to enter the staff dormitory. This place was completely different from the student dormitory. When Chen Ge got closer, he realized that the building was split into two rows. The front row had lights on like there were people living there, and the back row was dark like it had been abandoned for a long time.
"The front is the staff dormitory, and the back is the dormitory for international students. The school has a good idea, but based on what I know, our school hasn't accepted international students before." Wang Xiaoming and Chen Ge sneaked into the row of buildings. The corridor was paved with tiles, and the walls on the sides were covered with wallpaper. The style of decoration was much more luxurious than the dormitory.
"The maintenance room seems to be at the end of the corridor. Be careful when you go there. Don't let the teachers see you." Wang Xiaoming stopped at the bottom of the corridor. "I'll help you keep watch."
"I think we should go in together." Since they had already come this far, there was no reason to turn back. Chen Ge dragged Wang Xiaoming down the corridor.
"Wait! Wait a minute! " Wang Xiaoming wanted to resist, but he did not dare use too much force. He was afraid that he might alert the teachers inside the room. In the end, he was dragged down the corridor by Chen Ge.
