Chapter 12 Alas, The Washing Machine
Various events like five students disappearing in the school at the same time is naturally a huge incident.
Therefore, after the university called the police, within half a quarter of an hour, two police cars roared in one after another.
It's just that different from the few capable police officers in police uniforms who got out of the police car in front, the people who got out from the police car in the back were three youths in casual clothes. The young man at the head even had a tattoo mark on his left arm.
"Are they government staff who deal with this kind of thing... psychic or something?"
While casually leaning on the railing and watching from a distance, Bai Zhi, who was chewing the chewing gum he bought on the way in the morning, couldn't help thinking in his heart.
The bizarre disappearance of the classmates made everyone panic, not to mention that the bizarre incident happened just around them. Most people left the teaching building early without the intention of studying, while a small number of people remained here curiously like him.
No one was a fool. Although the endless urban legends that have been circulating on the Internet in the past few months have been censored repeatedly by the government, some gossip was still circulating nervously in the major online chat groups.
People were extremely anxious, but at the same time, they were also very curious.
"This kind of thing is not something that I can take part in now, so I will leave it to those professionals to solve it..."
After remembering the faces and characteristics of the three youths, Bai Zhi put his hands in the pockets of his jacket, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the stairs.
Just when he turned the corner, a small figure also ran out from behind the corner, and hit him before he had time to react.
"!!!"
Looking at the little boy who fell to the ground because of hitting him, Bai Zhi's expression changed while his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Big Brother who escaped from me twice, I finally caught you."
With an unusually bright smile on his face as he raised his head, the little boy raised his left hand and said. In his left hand, a shadow was struggling desperately.
"That's my shadow..."
Before he could finish a sentence, Bai Zhi felt that the world in front of him suddenly became dark. When the dark scene in front of him receded again, he was quite stunned to find himself in a dark corridor with classrooms on both sides
Before he could take a good look at his current situation, an unusually harsh scream came to his ears.
"Seriously? No build-up?"
The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, Bai Zhi turned his head and looked behind him.
The location he was at now seemed to be in an abandoned teaching building. There were scattered fragments of various test papers and sawdust on the ground. The rooms next to him were all classrooms, and he was in the center of the corridor.
The dim light was flickering above his head, and the place a little further away was pitch black. About every tens of meters away, there was an area illuminated by lights, and a little farther was a corner.
The previous sharp scream came from the corner behind him.
"I always feel that my luck has become particularly bad since I came to this world. Within two days, I bumped into two anomalies…"
After a little helpless rant, Bai Zhi looked around with the help of the dim yellow light above his head, trying to see if he could find something like a table leg or a stool to defend himself.
Human's fear comes from the unknown, but his attitude towards the unknown was curiosity and excitement. No matter what the screaming thing behind him was, he just needed to whack it with something.
It was a pity that there were all torn and smashed test papers and some bits of wood chips. After trying to put together these broken test papers to no avail, Bai Zhi decisively gave up the idea.
So far, it has been two minutes since he was attacked by the anomaly who looked like a little boy, and Bai Zhi has done nothing else except checking the situation around him.
The scream at the beginning seemed to disappear afterward. It seemed extremely quiet all around, but with the passage of time, the flashing time of the lights above his head became shorter and shorter, and the brightness also decreased a lot.
Once the only light source completely disappeared, in the extremely dark environment, the ending would be obvious.
"It looks like an abandoned teaching building..."
After pondering for a moment, Bai Zhi walked into the darkness and came to the door of the classroom hidden by the darkness.
The rusty iron door was not locked, he just pushed it gently. Accompanied by a hoarse and unpleasant creaking sound, the iron door of the classroom was slowly pushed open.
"Mhm… Sure enough, I can't see anything clearly..." Looking at the darkness in front of him, Bai Zhi couldn't help but mutter.
Exploring an abandoned classroom in the dark in such a strange environment, even the most courageous person would inevitably feel nervous in their heart.
After all, the unknown is the biggest fear. No one knows what is hidden in this dark classroom. Under the influence of the environment, the inner fear will be infinitely magnified.
- But these have nothing to do with Bai Zhi.
"From the current point of view, this should be a scene similar to the background of the escape room. The anomaly seems to have sent me here by capturing my shadow. Standing under the light source seems bright and safe, but who knows if things related to shadows will become a dead end in this scene. However, all games have the most basic rules, even the game held by anomaly is no exception. So in the dark classroom that can be opened next to it, there should be some key elements for escaping here... The five missing students should have been sent here as well. If they are still alive, maybe I can find a way to group up with them and then wait for the rescue..."
While muttering these words in his mouth, Bai Zhi groped forward from the desks in the back row. His main search area was the drawers of each desk, and of course desks were not excluded.
However, after searching three desks, he felt that his hand touched something very cold in the darkness.
"Mhm… It feels about the size of my own hand, it's cold, and there are five fingers… Uh..."
