C71 Midnight 12 O'clock

I felt all the hair on my body stand up as I hurried to follow Professor Yang and co. into the second floor.

This TV show is the same. It's not good to put anything on it, yet you insist on putting this dissecting thing.

Something must have happened to the qilin. Even my own heart was almost dug up. How many other secrets were hidden in this school?

The second floor was completely dark. It was unknown whether it was because the professor was too retarded or because he wanted to save money.

There was only a small lamp on the second floor. The light was dim, and Angele could barely see one or two meters around him.

Unfortunately, the space on the second floor was not small, with three rooms in total. The largest one was Professor Yang's main lab, next to it was the instrument showroom, and the last one was where the files were stored.

"Alright, this is the second floor. The four of you, don't run around. I need to go in later to do my experiment. The boy and girl wearing glasses will go to the archive room and get me the documents that start 4."

As Professor Yang commanded, he opened the door to the archive room.

A rancid smell wafted through the room. It was unknown if all the books inside had become moldy. This professor did not have a single assistant, so it was hard to deal with him.

"Mm, as for the two of you."

After finishing the arrangements with Yun Tong and Lin Zhuang, Professor Yang turned around and looked at Liu Haoran and me.

"It's not a big deal. The two of you can just clean the stairs and the hall on the first floor. I'm not afraid of your jokes, I haven't cleaned here for three weeks."

"Alright, I'm going to do some experiments. You can go now."

Leaving the last sentence, Professor Yang went into the laboratory alone, locking the door from the inside.

In the dim light, we looked at each other.

This professor was truly a strange fellow. No wonder he had been experimenting alone and didn't have any assistants.

With this personality, who would be willing to cooperate with him?

I'm too lazy to care about that. I'm here to mix up my credits anyways, but cleaning isn't too difficult for me.

For the next hour, we worked separately, Yuntong and Lin Zhuang in the archives, while I took out my broom and cleaned the stairs.

Although no one had cleaned here for half a month, most of the people here were dust that could be tidied up with a mop later.

After I finished cleaning the mop, I turned my head and that indifferent youth, Liu Haoran, disappeared.

It was as if he had evaporated from the world and suddenly disappeared from the laboratory.

Whether it was the two rooms on the second floor or the lobby on the first floor, they were all gone.

"This guy, Lin Zhuang, Yun Tong, do you see that Liu Haoran?"

I turned to the two men in the archive room. They were almost done, and the first four files had been picked up.

"Liu Haoran, wasn't he dragging the floor on the first floor? I saw him."

Lin Zhuang pushed his glasses and said.

As for Yun Tong, this black-nailed girl had a charming smile on her face. It was unknown what she was thinking about.

"Forget it."

I don't care, just think of it as Liu Haoran wanting to be lazy.

Time passed second by second. In the blink of an eye, it was past 11: 40. There was still no news from Liu Haoran.

The second floor and stairs had already been cleaned by me. This time, I carried a mop and bucket to the lobby on the first floor.

Compared to the second floor, this place was much quieter. The 14-inch black and white TV was still broadcasting the medical program. However, there was no sound coming from the TV.

To my left was a deep tunnel that led to the storage area.

Other than that, the main hall was left on the first floor. There was nowhere else to be found.

Either Liu Haoran left on his way back to the dorm, or …

Looking at the passageway that led to the storage room, I gulped and moved aside with shaky steps.

Master Lai Ge had said not to enter the storage room.

"Wuwuwu."

While he was cleaning the hall on the first floor, there was a sudden gust of wind outside and thunder roared.

It was randomly like a sudden downpour. The weather wasn't accurate, and the full moon just now was hanging high in the sky. At this moment, it was already raining.

In addition, the rain was getting heavier and heavier. The rustling sound of the wind made them feel as if they were crying, causing their scalps to go numb.

"What a heavy rain."

"Crash."

Before I could finish lamenting, the windows on the first floor were suddenly ripped open by the violent wind. Fierce winds surged into them and engulfed the entire first floor.

The wind was mixed with sand, making it so that I could barely keep my eyes open.

"Zzzzzzz."

The only fluorescent lights were flickering, as if the line had been affected by a storm.

The entire first floor was lit up by fluorescent lights.

But you have to hold on. If the lights go out, I won't even be able to do my job.

However, no matter how he thought about it, a minute later, the fluorescent light jumped for the last time. With a "Wu Zi" sound, it went out completely.

Darkness shrouded them, and their surroundings were filled with darkness.

Fortunately, the 14-inch TV can also provide a faint light, so I do not have to distinguish between north, south and north.

"Seriously, when is a rainstorm bad? Choose this time."

I muttered something and prepared to walk forward. I would close the window first.

"Dang, dang, dang …"

But just as I was about to move, an old clock chimed from upstairs. It was a clockwork clock, a certain age.

At this time, it should have been 12 o'clock.

I didn't care about that. After all, it was normal.

But today, I don't know whether it was idle or something, but I deliberately left some time to count the sounds of knocking on the door.

Then something happened that made my scalp tingle. The clock had only rung eleven times.

A little less!

Did I remember the wrong time?

Impossible, he had looked at his watch just now, it was indeed close to 12 points.

Perhaps the clock was broken, but as long as the clockwork worked, it would not break.

My grandfather had a watch like this in his house. It had been used since I was born, and it had been thirty years since then.

The most he could do was not enough to stop the needle from moving.

"What's going on?"

I felt a chill in my heart, as if I were alone in the dark of the first floor.

The fear in his heart grew.

"Forget it. I'll close the window first."

I let out a long breath and walked forward.

The storm was not small, and it took me a great deal of effort to close the window and press the latch to lock the old window.

"Whap."

Before I could catch my breath and wipe the sweat off my forehead, I felt a tremor on my shoulder. I didn't know who it was that had slapped me.

Yun Tong and Lin Zhuang were still dealing with the documents on the second floor. If they went downstairs, they would hear footsteps.

This slap had suddenly landed, didn't that mean …

"Hiss."

I sucked in a breath of cold air, already mentally prepared.
