Chapter 2 Death Rattles under the Moon(1/2)
"It can't be avoided..." Chen Qing muttered twice, and the expression on his face returned to calm in an instant.
"Where is this, who are they, and what are the strange stories..."
Chen Qing stood at the entrance to the stairs, thinking about all the possibilities in his mind.
"There are many people missing nearby...are they caused by our expedition?" He asked himself again: "That so-called team...why is he the only one who has memories?"
He walked down step by step, his fingertips touching the handrail carefully.
"I've been here..." he whispered, but he clearly didn't remember anything.
"If I had been here..."
Chen Qing groped around and found a mark carved with a knife on the end of the armrest.
Similar to a triangle, but slightly extended at the edges.
"I will leave this trace..." His expression changed a little. He had really been here and lost his memory about this place.
He walked down the stairs step by step, and the end of the corridor seemed extremely far away in the darkness.
"Since I have been here, I will definitely leave something behind... I will definitely leave enough information to let me leave here for the second time."
This corridor is similar to a dormitory building, but not like a dormitory building in school.
The front on the left is dyed with light blue wall paint, reaching a height of about 1.6 meters. The semi-open balcony that should have seen the teaching building on the right is now surrounded by iron fences, but this is only the second floor.
This is simply not necessary.
Chen Qing reached over the safety net and explored outside. As expected, the world outside the window also had resistance.
"This is the steel-sealed window that already existed..."
He frowned and began to try to push the door to the nearest room. He grabbed the handle and twisted it to the left and right, and the door opened.
The lotus leaves made a creaking sound, but the scene inside the house was somehow visible in the darkness.
"If I had been here..." He was silent for a moment and frowned: "No... why should I guess what I have done. I just need to follow the habit of investigating the development of things..."
He looked at the door. Inside was an extremely simple girls' dormitory with four beds and four seats facing each other.
He walked to the bed and saw signs that it had been turned over again: "Have everything been taken away?" He followed the traces and opened it again, only to see a note pressed under the bed.
"Everything here will stay the same as it was last time...it makes sense.
But everything taken away seems to come back to its place."
He looked at the unfamiliar words on the note and felt a little curious. This was not his own handwriting, but the description method in the text was very similar to his own habits.
"Someone else helped me remember it..."
He frowned. Since the whole group had come in together, why... only two people escaped in the end.
Next came the drawers in the room. He opened the seats, pulled away the clothes blocking the table, and looked at the drawers, where even in the dark, he could see some black.
There were twisted metal handles on those tables. The handles were very old and had strange iron filings to the touch. He hesitated for a while, then put his fingertips in front of his nose and sniffed them gently.
"Is it... blood?" His face turned pale, and the smell of blood was extremely fresh.
"What have I left behind? What have I left behind."
His eyes were constantly searching around. If something happened here, he would definitely leave traces.
"If I were in front of the table... I would use my left hand without knowing the danger..."
He lowered his head and searched under the table.
"No?"
Chen Qing touched the iron pole next to him in confusion. This was unreasonable.
"If it were me..."
He took two steps back, pulled a towel from the bed beside him, tied the handle, and pulled the drawer in the dark.
With a rattling sound, the sound of wood rubbing against wood came from not far away, and then only silence remained.
He stepped forward slowly, but nothing happened as expected.
And inside the table, he found a flashlight.
"No...this is absolutely wrong..."
He muttered softly and turned on the flashlight.
At this moment, at the moment when the flashlight emits light.
That human face may not be called a human face.
The twisted protein aggregate appeared in front of Chen Qing.
It was placed against the bed in front of Chen Qing, with shelves spread out around it, spread flat and clamped on a clothes hanger.
This is definitely the favorite way of drying clothes for students who live on campus.
Chen Qing was shocked. The eyelashes on his face were still trembling.
So are his hands.
He gritted his teeth, and the physical fear reached its peak along with the smell of blood.
It turns out that it's not the smell of the table.
The constantly swaying light went down the person's face, and the dripping blood dripped on the table. The little bits of blood gathered into a river and flowed to the floor of the room, passing the table handle on the way.
But just now, the distance between his face and this piece of protein was less than twenty centimeters.
"Fuck, fuck."
He controlled the speed of his teeth chattering, and the reason in his heart was extremely suppressing the urge to shout caused by fear.
"Why..." He held the flashlight in his hand and his fingertips turned white: "I just feel scared."
Little by little he walked towards the table, and little by little he returned to where he was standing forward.
Someone must have left something there.
He touched the flashlight, and there were scratch marks on it. Unfortunately, he couldn't tell when they were left.
If a group of people are frightened…
Maybe they didn't see this at the time.
He turned his eyes behind him. Someone should fall back and sit down, maybe someone would exclaim...
A group of people will definitely create a lot of noise.
He moved his stiff legs and his eyes stopped in front of the bed where he was standing before.
"The armrest...is a little bent."
Chen Qing firmly believed that this was the mark of their collision.
He walked closer and took another look. There was a note tucked next to the armrest of the bed: "They are coming. Use enough volume to disperse them."
"They...who are they..."
Chen Qing frowned, but he always felt that there was something wrong with the information left in the note.
Looking at the human skin just a few feet away in front of him, Chen Qing clenched his teeth.
He suppressed the repulsion in his heart, walked step by step in front of the human face, reached out and pinched open the frame holding the human skin.
Under the illumination of the flashlight, the hanging human skin swayed gently, and the dented face regained its roundness in a moment.
Chen Qing's heart skipped a beat, but he clamped the shelf into his hand.
My fingertips hurt and the force was very strong.
It was also at this moment that when he looked at the face that was constantly shaking in front of him, he always felt that something was moving under the other person's eyelashes.
He was frightened and put the human skin in his hands.
He was disgusted in his heart, but the unknown emotion refused to let him drop the objects in his hands.
Chen Qing gritted his teeth and looked at the desk under the bed behind him.
On that desk, several desks were locked.
He shook it. Although the lock was completely rusted, it was still strong.
Seeing that he could not open these desks, Chen Qing focused on the only small drawer that was not locked.
He pulled it gently, and the photo that had been turning yellow was lying inside.
That kind of photo...
He was frightened.
"This photo..." He stroked it gently.
Fingertips are clean and free of dust.
"The people in this photo."
To be continued...
