Chapter 60: 64The Strange Talk of the Rules of the First Class of the Yu Liang School (10) “Still going upstairs to buy……
Duong Ca heard that and looked down the well.
Although this six-sided well is bigger than some modern dirty water wells and electric wells, it still cannot accommodate eight people at the same time, especially if they have to work at the bottom of the well. Each person needs to leave a certain amount of room for their hands and feet to move. It can be seen that six people is the limit.
Duong Ca nodded: "That's right."
So Yang Ge, Ye Xi, Li Ruo, Feng Wen, and Zhang Liping lowered the well in order. The well had no water, the mud at the bottom was really hard, and they didn't have any handy tools. The best they could do was use a stainless steel ruler and a metal pencil case. For the time being, progress was slow.
After digging for about half an hour, Li Ruo suddenly said: "There seems to be a square object here."
The tycoon immediately leaned closer and looked closely to see that the place where Li Ruo was digging had indeed revealed a square shape.
Looks like a square box.
Zhang Liping let out a breath: "I'll dig this one out first, then I'll dig that spot just now..." He pointed to a spot nearby, "There seems to be something there, but I haven't seen what it is yet, please help me out in a moment."
"Alright." The teammates nodded, and together they dug out the box in front of them. The box's volume was roughly the size of two parallel bottles of the "Modern Chinese Dictionary", and now one side had already been dug out. With the combined efforts of the six people, more than half of it was quickly exposed. Xiao Leng used a stainless steel ruler to probe the bottom of the box, and with a pry, the box was directly pried open.
Wiping away the mud on the box, the old lady looked up and saw a talisman engraved on the box's seal. It seemed to be the same talisman as the talisman on the door of Hong Hu Tower's classroom, but it was engraved directly on the box. It was much more attractive than a talisman made of gold paper.
In addition, the lid of the box was still locked. But after 30 years, the copper lock had rusted and looked old and worn out. Xiao Leng picked up the metal pen box that had just been rusted and aimed at the chain ring, and with force, the lock came undone.
He took the broken lock off the box, everyone instinctively stopped breathing.
Also don't know what the box is...
Tieu Lanh also did not clear but slowed down his breathing, then very carefully opened the box.
"Fuck!" The box of objects flashed into his eyes, and Zhang Liping let out a cry of shock.
In the box was a small set of bones. Although the box was completely scattered and its original appearance was unrecognizable, the few police officers in front of them still first noticed the human skull.
This must be the corpse of a newborn baby who died not long ago...
"Damn, in other words, Liao Jun □□ Ji Lian, even gave birth to a child!" Zhang Liping felt a wave of anger rush straight to his brain, "What beast! Still being the principal for so many years! I rely on... those few female students of the first provincial high school, shouldn't they also..."
The old story's setting makes people feel more and more scared the more they think about it.
But his guess was that it was possible. Although from the previous clues, Liao Jun was indeed an abuser, but if he only used physical punishment to punish students, why were all the girls who jumped off the building?
Tieu Lanh was silent, carefully put the box aside, turned around and walked towards the place Truong Lap Binh had just mentioned.
He reached out and waved off the soil that had been dug up, lifting up a corner: "Waterproof cloth?"
From the properties, it is a kind of waterproof fabric, like a raincoat. The original color is roughly yellow, but now it has aged in the mud, and its color has become dark.
Li Ruo heard the three words "waterproof cloth" and suddenly his brain opened up. He immediately hugged Feng Wen tightly, his voice trembling: "Waterproof cloth… Isn't that senior sister's body inside?!"
Although the box of children's bones just now was also very terrifying, it was very small after all, and had fallen into a pile, unable to see its original shape, creating a limited visual impact.
If the waterproof cloth was opened and inside was a complete skeleton or a dried corpse, the horror level would have been completely different.
Diep Tich's imagination also trembled, but thinking about the "Female Ghost" that this senior sister had seen, suddenly felt that bones and corpses were just like that.
She quickly regained her composure and comforted them, saying, "It probably won't. Even if it was a student who committed suicide, there would definitely be parents who would come to collect the body. It's impossible for them to stay in the well."
Just finished speaking, Xiao Leng squatting in front of the waterproof cloth immediately confirmed Ye Xi's guess: "This thing isn't big."
He said while pulling hard, after more and more mud loosened, the waterproof cloth was directly released.
—— that was really a raincoat, the style and properties were the kind commonly used in the 90s. Originally it was rolled up into a ball, but when he moved slightly, it loosened and a small white ball fell out from inside.
Tieu Lanh picked up the white ball. It was a plastic bag, tightly wrapped, and wrapped with tape over and over again, as if it was protecting something.
He tried tearing it open, the already aged plastic bag and tape immediately collapsed under the external force. Xiao Leng promptly stopped the force and took out the exposed object inside.
As a small tray of magnetic tape, in that era when people listened to it with their radios, this was a very common device.
"Ji Lian recorded the crime process of Liao Jun?" Yang Ge guessed. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Xiao Leng, "But just relying on the recording isn't enough to convict, right? It's also very difficult to directly connect the child's remains to Liao Jun's birth. At that time, the Procuratorate over there..."
"Stop." Truong Lap Binh promptly interrupted her. Duong Ca immediately realized that her occupational disease had just flared up and angrily shut her mouth.
Zhang Liping analyzed: "I feel that it should be about the same here. After all, everyone is assumed to be high school students. After discovering evidence, reporting the incident is in line with conventional logic. It is impossible to rely on a few high school students to solve the case. Furthermore..." He glanced at the tape deck, "To let a few boarding students in 2023 find a device that can dominate the tape, it is also a bit difficult for others."
"... Exactly." Duong Ca nodded in agreement.
Diep Tich looked around: "Let's check again to see if there are any other clues. With just these words, let's go up first and then report to the police to see?"
Truong Lap Binh heard that and said: "Is it to report danger, or should we let senior sister take revenge herself?"
"Definitely a warning." Yang Ge shrugged, "It's been more than half a year since Liao Jun summoned her. If she wanted revenge, wouldn't she have reported it sooner? How could she use us?"
Truong Lap Binh thought again: "Also right..."
Having seen it before, if the female ghost wanted to kill someone directly, she was completely capable. She had always not made a move against Liao Jun, most likely because Liao Jun had prepared something, making the female ghost unable to get close to him.
So want to let the situation be resolved, relatively reasonable method is also to report the danger.
The group of people therefore followed what Diep Tich had just said and checked around again. If they didn't find anything new, they followed the rope ladder back to the ground.
Zhang Liping carried the box of children's remains and walked to the first one. When he was near the mouth of the well, Deng Wei reached out and pulled him, and took the box: "Is this a clue? What should we do next?"
Zhang Liping said: "That's right, this is a clue, there's more behind it. Next, we should probably report the danger, let's try it out in a moment."
"Oh, okay." Dang Vi nodded calmly and went to help another person down.
The magnetic tape, raincoat, and torn plastic bag were all in Xiao Leng's hands, with Xiao Leng walking at the end. Deng Wei was still one step away from reaching out to pull him when he was at the edge of the well. Chen Donghe also reached out to grab the thing in his hand.
This is a very natural movement, moreover for the person climbing the ladder, holding things is indeed not very convenient.
Xiao Leng instinctively wanted to give him the thing, his eyes glanced over and noticed the box containing the child's remains in Deng Wei's hand.
He immediately stopped the hand that was going out to wrestle with the disciple, and the other hand seemed to have nothing to do but reach out to Dang Vi, using his strength to step out of the well.
——It was definitely not a good thing that both key clues were taken away by an "ally". After Xiao Leng left the well, he immediately took a few steps away to avoid the other party from reaching out to him again.
Tran Dong Hac stiffened, unable to forcefully take it, so he had to awkwardly give up.
Dang Vi and he looked at each other, not daring to say anything.
Tieu Lanh took out his cell phone, dialed 110, then directly pressed the speaker, everyone's hearts suddenly became tense.
In front of the dungeon, their cell phones also had no signal. Although it seemed like there was a signal, it was unknown whether they could actually communicate.
"Dollar --"
The receiver transmitted to the dispute hoping to dial negative.
"Dollar --"
On the second ring, the phone was connected.
"Hello, 110 emergency service center."
Xiao Leng took a deep breath, and Deng Wei hurriedly spoke: "Hello sir, we are students of Yu Liang First High School, we suspect the current principal of murder!"
The next words of the receptionist, although maintaining the usual professional behavior, clearly contained a warning meaning: "Hello classmate, reporting an emergency is a very serious matter. Could you please describe it in more detail?"
Xiao Leng indifferently glanced at Deng Wei, and said to the phone: "We found a corpse and a magnetic tape under a well. We suspect that the current principal Liao Jun is related to a murder case many years ago. According to the principle of 'murder must be solved', please come to the police."
The other party was silent for a second: "Found bones?!"
Tieu Lang: "That's right."
The dispatcher's voice hurriedly rose: "Please stay where you are and don't move. We will immediately go out."
Diep Tich looked at Tieu Lanh with complicated eyes, thinking that the police were the ones who knew best how to report the danger.
Less than 15 minutes later, the police siren wailed. The lights of the dormitory were first turned on. Ye Xi vaguely saw a teacher welcoming them to the school gate. Very quickly, the police came looking for them. Xiao Leng said bluntly, "Let's call the police."
Several policemen looked at each other and quickened their pace to chase after them. The remains, boxes, and tapes were put into evidence bags. Ye Xi thought for a moment and hesitantly reminded them, "There might be some other objects in the Hong Hu Building's language office that can be used as evidence?"
Just those that use physical punishment on students use tools.
"Okay, we understand." The police leader nodded, and together with his colleagues, they put the six border areas under guard, then went to Phong Lau.
This kind of chaotic yet neat and tidy scene made everyone realize that the dungeon should be approaching its end.
Behind the crowd, Tran Dong Hac calmly touched the nearest Duong Ca.
Half a step away, he suddenly grabbed Yang Ge's wrist and wanted to push the well. Yang Ge was so scared that he directly activated his muscle memory, quickly turned around, and gave Chen Dong He a backhand kick over his shoulder.
"A ——"
A second ago, Tran Dong Hac, who was still assaulting him, only felt the image before his eyes flash. When he looked closely again, he saw a piece of the night sky drawn by the well mouth.
... Duong Ca reflexively threw him over his shoulder and directly threw him into the well.
He unfortunately hit the ground first, the miserable scream suddenly disappeared.
Duong Ca: Grass...
"Ah!!!" Phung Van Ly Nhuyet was shocked, the next second, white light rose from all directions and surrounded everyone, drowning out their screams of fear.
A small sound came from inside the white light, as if a radio was pressed down to open, the old device clumsily moved, chaotically giving off a very small electric current, revealing the crimes of that year.
"Bang, bang ——" was the hard object hitting the flesh dully.
"Oh ——" along with the girl sniffled under pressure.
"Don't be sad, the teacher is doing this for your own good." Liao Jun's voice was evil and greasy, but then came a very regular but unthinkable movement.
After that, the tape recorder ran without a trace, except for the sound of movement and the sound of electricity, there was no other sound.
"Wa ——" the newborn baby cried loudly, echoing through the heavens and earth.
"Don't cry!" The young girl's voice was filled with panic, the child's cries quickly became lower, and sounded sad, as if someone was covering his mouth.
Before long, the crying completely disappeared.
The tape recording ended here, and with another small "click" sound, the world returned to silence.
In the darkness of the night, the old school garden appeared before his eyes. Diep Tich saw a girl wearing a school uniform holding a raincoat, walking step by step towards the six-sided well.
——When she saw this scene, she originally thought that Liao Jun pushed her into the well. Because she had recorded the sound beforehand, it seemed like she had prepared a resistance. Ye Xi did not think that she would commit suicide after collecting evidence.
She probably originally wanted to expose Liao Jun's evil deeds. But a 17-18 year old girl, on one hand, was under pressure from the college entrance exam, while on the other hand, she was mentally controlled, suffered from aberrations, and even gave birth to a child because of it...
When life is too desperate, the whole world will lose trust.
Moreover, Liao Jun was afraid that he was too intimidating for her, and he acted too fearless in front of her. A little bit made her believe that in this place, he was the one who covered the sky with one hand, no one could control him, and no one would stand up for her.
So she lost her faith, in extreme despair and fear she chose death to end the matter.
But she probably still had some lingering resentment, so she carefully protected the ice table and brought it to the bottom of the well, hoping that one day the evidence of the crime would be discovered.
The scene just changed, it was the next morning. Ji Lian's suicide must have been spread in school, the school was in a panic, and Liao Jun found the child's body under his office desk.
—— was covered to death, face pale, a red line of blood flowed from the nose, long dried up.
"Uncle, uncle..." Liao Jun was so scared that he lost his soul and panicked, closing the drawer and heading towards the principal's office on the second floor.
After a while, the scene was chaotic. There were many people in the principal's office, one of whom was the principal at that time, who was also Liao Jun's uncle. There were also a few people whose rank was obviously higher than the principal's from their appearance and dress, but they all seemed to be related to Liao Jun. Although they were all devastated by the murder, they were still very tolerant towards Liao Jun.
Next, because the legend of the ghost gradually became noisy and noisy, the school had no choice but to ask for help from the occult, inviting people to perform a ritual. The child's remains were also sealed in a box, sinking into the well where Ji Lian committed suicide.
Later, when Hong Hu Tower was abandoned, the wells on the six sides were filled in and buried, and the students finished cleaning up the new tower, Liao Jun and the teachers in the office did not even dare to touch a single thing in the room.
Not long from now, Liao Jun should have been transferred away, and Yu Liang High School would have been calm for nearly thirty years because of this. But Ji Lian had always been in school, until...
Until that student called "Lu An" took revenge and went from the principal's office to Liao Jun, who had lit a cigarette and thrown it into the well that was condensing resentment during the night visit to the school garden, Ji Lian was instantly "activated"...
Watching the complete experience, Ye Xi sighed gloomily, she remembered the records of those awards Ji Lian had won. Then she remembered, just now when the big guy came up from the well, Ji Lian had disappeared without a trace, but at the mouth of the well not far away on the ground left behind some trash——Ji Lian had finished eating the snacks she brought her, then carefully put the yogurt and egg yolk bags into a large bag of potato chips, placed it in a corner that wouldn't be blown around by the wind.
If he hadn't died like that, Ji Lian would probably be a very good person now.
After a while, several moving images appeared on the stage, Liao Jun was beaten, punished, and sent to prison... The Rule of Law Realm made him worthy of serving a dragon.
But if it were in reality, 30 years later, no one could say what the outcome would be.
She couldn't help but sigh again, white light, black subtitles slowly appeared.
"Humanity a..."
"Your world is out of order, and therefore has lost its morality."
"You prey on the weak."
"You hurt the child."
"You guys..."
Just like the last time at Tinh Nguyet apartment, the subtitles suddenly disappeared in a flash, as if they were intentionally interrupted by an external force that disagreed with him.
Then the machine calculates and displays the usual subtitles:
"Congratulations on successfully passing the 'Yu Liang Yi Zhong Rules and Trivia' and obtaining the props reward. You can choose to upgrade your existing props, or you can also draw new props."
This action made Ye Xi feel refreshed——the [Guide] had already taken action, she could draw out a new item!
She therefore decisively clicked on the right side of the blind box icon, nervously pondered for three seconds, and selected the second row of four.
The blind box in front of her opened, blooming with light. After the light disappeared, the props were displayed.
At this time the blind box appearance is a small LED screen, the subtitle on the screen is its name: [reminders].
[remind the audience]limited to the use of items in the middle of the game, after use will show you three items with related descriptive adjectives, the expression must be true.
"...!!!" Diep Tich was overjoyed.
This is a good thing. She heard that other team members had this prop in Chapter 17, and it was also very popular in the Rules Realm. Although it was completely useless in many dungeons, once used, it could provide key clues, and could even directly help participants turn things around.
After the white light dissipated, the light around him suddenly darkened. The intense contrast of light made Ye Xi pause for a long time before he could clearly see his surroundings——it was the staircase where they had entered the dungeon before.
The other three people also came out. The big guys glanced at each other. Yang Ge asked in a low voice: "Are you going upstairs to buy donkey meat and burn it?"
Diep Tich: "..."
It's hard for you to remember that we originally wanted to go buy donkey meat and burn it.
Tieu Lanh laughed: "Mission completed, I invite everyone to dinner."
"Alright!" Yang Ge was the first to cheer casually, his arm touching Ye Xi's, "That's right, what does Xi Xi like to eat? We've known each other for so long and still didn't know your favorite."
"I'm not picky..." Diep Tich blurted out, thought for a moment and said, "Don't be too picky, I can do everything else!"
.
Around the small streets, Dang Vi, Phung Van, and Ly Nhuoc were also brought back to their original positions. The three of them waited patiently, contacted each other via WeChat, agreed on a meeting place, and gathered ten minutes later.
The originally lucky Phung Van in the end had to admit that Tran Dong Hac could not come out.
He was about to leave when he fell to his death at that well.
"What exactly happened to Tran Dong Hac just now..." Ly Nhuye was still scared.
Just now, the position where she was standing happened to be blocked by the other two people, so she couldn't see clearly what was happening. She saw Tran Dong Hac being pushed into the well.
"It seems like..." Just as Dang Vi wanted to explain, Phung Van said gloomily: "I don't know why, but he suddenly attacked a female student on the other side. That female student was very skilled, and with one hand, pushed him into the well."
The truth is exactly like this.
Dang Vi knew this clearly in his heart, choked up, could only say: "Yes, that's right."
.
Sunday morning, Diep Tich was still sleeping in the sandbank when she received a new 100,000 yuan bill. Staring at the 40w+ empty quota on the ticket, she bit her lip and decided to treat herself.
Then she opened a certain orange crime software, invested 3000 yuan in a huge account for herself to buy a bunch of messy snacks.
—— 3000 snacks! Before, she probably wouldn't have spent 3000 on snacks a year. Buying so much at once, she wouldn't even dare to imagine.
"Hee hee hee ——" Diep Tich happily rolled around on the bed, covered himself with the blanket and fell asleep.
The next day was Monday, Diep Tich got out of bed on time, and went to work in high spirits.
... She later realized that money was really a macrobiotic person.
When she first got this part-time job, she was worried that she wouldn't be able to handle it, because working Monday to Friday and having to do this high-risk part-time job on Saturday and Sunday sounded very depressing.
But that is not the case at all.
As the bank card level increased, her mentality changed, going to work completely had no bitter feeling, as if taking such a class was just to improve herself and cultivate her feelings... always teaching the world filled with love.
Previously, the interview for this new Monday was basically set, and the time was pushed to Saturday evening, the most popular public channel. The editor-in-chief promised that as long as the reading volume met the standards, he would give out a bonus to everyone. He even specially called Ye Xi into the office and secretly said to her, "Although you are the one who arranged the group, the success of this interview is all thanks to you. Rest assured, the bonus will definitely not be lacking to you, but don't mention this outside."
As the editor-in-chief, she still wanted to maintain some interpersonal relationships between colleagues——Ye Xi deeply understood this, and at the same time, because of the editor-in-chief's attitude, her mood was also very good.
Friday evening, the big guys in order to do well this important task, the group added another group, seriously checked every detail, to ensure that the next day's task would have no problems.
It was past eleven o'clock when work ended. Ye Xi, out of laziness and for safety's sake, decided to stay at a hotel just across the street from his unit, planning to get a good night's sleep first and return home tomorrow.
Entering the hotel, she naturally first went to the check-in desk on the first floor. Then she took the room card and went into the elevator, going to the room number 7.
The elevator slowly moved up, not too long after it opened with a "ding". Diep Tich absentmindedly raised his eyelids...
Looked at the elevator opposite direction again, still in front of the lobby.:,,.
