Neverland

"Remember, if you feel powerless, call me immediately, you know." Xu Muzhou pulled Yan Cenxu and whispered, "I'll come out to save you right away."

At Yan Cen's age, he has never been tried to be a "hero to save the beauty", and he finds it very novel. The little fox in front of him is patted on his chest and made sure of it neatly. The appearance of life.

Xu Muzhou also felt that what he said was exaggerating, but he couldn't help it.Yan Cen desperately doesn't want the flashlight he used for self-defense, insisting that Sun Qian's behavior pattern is uncontrollable, and he wants to leave that thing to Xu Muzhou for self-defense.This arrangement seems reasonable.But the problem is that Yan Cen's plan is too simple and crude - he will lure Sun Qian out of the office, and then Xu Muzhou will take advantage of the chaos to go in to find clues.

It sounds like the difficulty of execution is very low, but Sun Qian with full strength is no joke, Xu Muzhou can't help but worry that he can tear a grown man apart in the blink of an eye.

"Of course, don't run too far." Xu Muzhou dragged Yan Cenmao to the stairs, his eyes were fixed on the door of the office, but his mouth was not idle.He stretched out his hand and swiped in the corridor, without looking back, he said, "Just stroll around the door of the office. If you run too far, I won't be able to save you in time."

Yan Cen really didn't know what to say at this time, so he could only respond politely: "Yes."

Xu Muzhou paused, and then asked: "Judging from the force value of Sun Qian Plus on the second floor, how many minutes can you last?"

After he finished speaking, as if he was afraid that his expression was not rigorous, he added: "...I mean, the kind that is completely easy to handle and not dangerous."

Yan Cen's just prepared answer was choked back by him again, the worry in the little fox's tone didn't seem like a fake, Yan Cen was unwilling to perfunctory his kindness, and gave a precise number again: "7 minutes."

"That's fine." Xu Muzhou said, "I'll lose sight of the clock when I don't see the clock. You can just give me a signal in 5 minutes, and I'll hurry up."

Xu Muzhou waited for a long time without waiting for an answer, turned his head and found that Yan Cen was looking at him with burning eyes.

He felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Yan Cen, scratched his face in embarrassment, coughed dryly, and made a bluffing posture with a straight face: "Did you hear that?"

"Okay." Yan Cen cooperated with him in this "hero saving the beauty" addiction, and said helplessly: "I heard."

"Okay." Xu Muzhou also felt that he was too nagging, he gave himself a dry cough to embolden himself, and patted Yan Cen's shoulder back: "Then you go."

Yan Cen hummed, and just got up to leave, but remembered something.He paused, turned his head and looked down the stairs, and decided to be cautious.

"You have to be careful." Yan Cen said to Xu Muzhou: "There may be others in this school."

Xu Muzhou was startled.

There were already other players in this school, and Yan Cen would remind him that it is understandable to be careful...but why did he focus on mentioning "others".

"Who else?" Xu Muzhou quickly asked: "You mean, besides Sun Qian, you and I have other players, and there are other people here?"

"I don't know." Yan Cen said, "It was just a fleeting feeling... Before we entered the second floor for the second time, I felt someone watching us from behind."

It is rare for Yan Cen to give such ambiguous answers, which can make him vacillate left and right, which means that the credibility of this matter is not high.

Instinctive intuition made Yan Cen want to tell Xu Muzhou about this, but if he really wanted to ask one, two, three, I'm afraid Yan Cen would not be able to say it himself.

Xu Muzhou also understood this, he followed Yan Cen's eyes to look downstairs, and managed to pull out a smile: "This place is too infiltrated, and it's haunted, there's no telling what's going on... It's okay, I Will be careful."

Yan Cen didn't chatter endlessly like Xu Muzhou, he nodded, bent slightly, and walked lightly to the office.

Even if Sun Qian was temporarily controlled, she was still not easy to provoke.The dark corridor reminded Sun Qian of something, the moment Yan Cen opened the door, she had already rushed out of the room.

Yan Cen met her face to face, but without confrontation, he turned around and ran towards the end of the corridor.

Unlike the last time we met, Sun Qian's lower body was almost transparent, and she was floating in mid-air, but her speed was not reduced, and she looked even more scary.The blood on her body fell down, as if it was blocked by some kind of transparent barrier, winding down in mid-air, it didn't look too weird.

Xu Muzhou was hiding at the stairs. If Yan Cen ran to the opposite corridor, Sun Qian would definitely find Xu Muzhou.But the corridor on this side is too short for the pursuit battle. Yan Cen only ran three or four steps away, and he felt that Sun Qian had already stuck up to him from behind.

The sound of blood dripping was close at hand, and the cold wind brushed against the side of Yan Cen's neck, arousing a small piece of goose bumps.

Seeing Sun Qian catching up with Yan Cen, Xu Muzhou watched in horror from behind.He held the life-saving flashlight firmly in his hand, tried hard to restrain the urge to turn on the light, and waited for Yan Cen to completely draw Sun Qian's attention away.

Yan Cen took a quick step, turned around suddenly, raised his hands to grab Sun Qian's wrists, and followed Sun Qian's forward pounce forcefully to lead her back a few steps.

Xu Muzhou saw the timing right, and without waiting for Yan Cen to call him, he quickly climbed up from the steps, slipped into the office without stopping, and turned around to lock the door.

Seeing that he entered the house safely, Yan Cen didn't get too entangled with Sun Qian, he ruthlessly pulled Sun Qian behind him, let go at the moment of contact, and brushed past Sun Qian by inertia.

Sun Qian was irritated by his monkey-like behavior, she let out an angry roar, her bloodied nails shone with an ominous black light, and a circle of black mist rose around her body. The black shadows seen are particularly similar.

Yan Cen didn't have time to think about it, he didn't stop walking, and ran directly to the other end of the corridor.

He had to take Sun Qian away from Xu Muzhou, the farther the better.

There is no safe house marked in the office, and Xu Muzhou didn't dare to turn on the light rashly this time. While taking out the fluorescent ball from his pocket, he rummaged through several desks in the room, trying to find something Identity information and stuff like that.

He found the window from the door, and found Sun Qian's desk in the corner of the office.Compared with other teachers, Sun Qian's desk is obviously a little too simple, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is shabby.

There is only a simple bookshelf made of plastic boards on her desk, and a few textbooks for other courses are placed on it for appearance.There should be no elementary school textbooks for English, so it is a stack of handwritten notes that are stapled together.Sun Qian's handwriting is very beautiful, and the self-compiled textbooks are also very neatly written. Each unit is separated, and there are new words and sentences. It is not inferior to professional textbooks. She seems to be a well-educated person.

Xu Muzhou didn't have much time, so he hurriedly searched through it, but found no useful clues, so he threw it aside.

This time was different from the previous ones. He was able to sit here looking for clues because Yan Cen was supporting Sun Qian outside.Xu Muzhou didn't have much time to waste. Although the time limit was 7 minutes, even if he went out a second earlier, the danger outside would be reduced by one point.

Xu Muzhou didn't have time to search everything, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to stabilize his heartbeat.

Calm down, he thought in his heart, if he wanted to find the most clues in the shortest time, it would be impossible to use one mind at the same time.

Xu Muzhou sat down on the seat, trying to put himself into Sun Qian's role.

What happened to Wang Zhigang was a scandal, and it was impossible for Sun Qian to say it out loud, so the desk and the big drawer where homework was placed must be clean, and there were no personal items except teaching materials.

As Xu Muzhou thought, he bent down and groped within the reach of his arms.The old-fashioned desk has a lot of drawers. In addition to the long drawer under the desktop, there are three small drawers on the left and right sides.Xu Muzhou, who was on the side of the aisle, didn't think about it. He opened the drawers on the left wall one by one, and only found an old yellowed newspaper in the bottom drawer.

Xu Muzhou glanced at the information on the newspaper. It was a local morning newspaper. The headline was that a certain local company had won a provincial honor. After looking at it twice, he lost interest and threw it aside.

Reluctantly, Xu Muzhou slightly expanded the search area, and after a while, he paused—he found a palm-sized iron box in the crack of the radiator near the wall.

This iron box didn't know how Sun Qian stuffed it in, Xu Muzhou took a little effort to pull it out with the buckle and straps.The iron box was well preserved, and it wasn't rusted, but the lid was dented, and overall it was harmless.

There was a small metal lock on the box, Xu Muzhou put it on the table, feeling a little heavy in his heart.

——He intuitively felt that this should be the key answer.

The necklace of the hydrangea was hot again, Xu Muzhou took it out and put it under the light, and found that the remaining half of the active black mucus on the hydrangea did not fade away, but flowed rapidly, like We must try our best to break free from the shackles derived from hydrangeas.

Xu Muzhou didn't care about the necklace that seemed to be rebellious, he fiddled with the lock, and took out a small silver key from his pocket.

When Yan Cen was on the first floor, he once got a key from Sun Qian. This key was obviously several sizes smaller than the door lock key. When Xu Muzhou just got it, he thought about what it was for—— Now he doesn't have to hesitate.

He pressed the key into the lock cylinder, and the two metal pieces were tightly fastened together. Xu Muzhou slowly twisted his wrist to the right.
