Compared to Mr. Zhou's appearance of beating his chest and stamping his feet because he regretted eating human flesh, Fred's performance was too calm. He was leaning against the wall with his head bowed in thought, without any change in emotion.

Wen Xichun remembered that he had dealt with a case before. The husband suspected that his wife was cheating, brutally killed her, cooked and ate the body parts, and even sent several copies to neighbors and mother-in-law. After the case was solved, the When the neighbor who got the body part learned that it was human flesh, he carried it away with the refrigerator and threw it away, and then moved.

This is the reaction that normal people should have.

However, Fred, who has become extremely inferior because he was bullied by his roommates for a long time in his student days, and even had to kill his girlfriend to reflect his own value, could not think about him with the thinking of a normal person.

"I can't believe it. I just thought that the school supervisor is a middle-aged woman who is in menopause and has made many strange rules. Cannibalism... Now it seems that she is completely perverted." Bai Jian sarcastically said.

Speaking of the strange rules, Wen Xichun couldn't help thinking of what he saw before. At eight o'clock in the evening, almost all the girls rushed to a certain place with small white bottles in their hands. It's the twelfth lunar month of winter.

Driven by a strong thirst for knowledge, Wen Xichun asked Bai Jian about this matter.

"Ah, that..." Bai Jian spread her hands, "The school supervisor stipulates that we have to take a bath under the small waterfall in the central lake behind the campus every Monday. Washing your face with dish soap can you believe it? But in fact, this kind of ignorant activity is useless except for damage to our skin and health, just like a joke."

Wen Xichun frowned, hearing what Bai Jian said, he always felt that something was wrong.

If the school supervisor and the principal conspired to take the heads of the girls to complete the spirit-calling technique, then they cruelly scratched her face when they faced a girl like Jiang Yu who was at their fingertips, and why did they ask the girls to bathe under the waterfall in the cold winter? They wash their faces with dish soap, making the children's skin rougher and rougher.

Or... In fact, her real idea is to protect the students?

"Hahahaha!"

Just as Wen Xichun was meditating, there was a sudden burst of sharp ridicule beside him, just like the sound of fingernails scraping hard on the iron plate, piercing the tympanic membrane with pain.

He poked his ears subconsciously, and looked up at the person who was making a weird laugh.

I saw Fred propping up the wall with one hand, clutching his stomach and laughing out of breath, and the corners of his eyes were slightly watery.

In the darkness, three pairs of vigilant eyes stared at him fixedly.

"So it's human flesh." Fred stopped laughing and forced himself to straighten up, with an expression on his face, "I told you sooner."

A sentence of "Say it earlier" with unknown meaning brought a slight chill.

Bai Jian took a step back nervously, tightly grasping Wen Xichun's sleeve with her fingers, and shook it slightly.

The moment Wen Xichun turned his head, with the help of the dim flashlight, he saw the flash of fear in Bai Jian's eyes.

No one dared to answer his words, but they all tried to stay a little away from him as far as possible.

After checking the entire room, I didn't find any useful food or tools to help escape from here. This looks like an ordinary office, except that files are files.

If we continue to stay, Wen Xichun can't guarantee what will happen. If a person does not eat, he can last for a week, but if he does not drink water, it will be three days at most. Now, it has been two days since they were imprisoned. all.

"I really want to drink Coke now." Bai Jian, who was nestled on the sofa, sighed sincerely, "Drinking Coke in a room with a fireplace in winter, I feel so happy just thinking about it."

She took advantage of the situation to look at Wen Xichun, and saw him sitting at the principal's desk, holding up his mobile phone to write and draw on paper.

Bai Jian suddenly got up and ran to Wen Xichun's side, looked at the words and patterned arrows that appeared on the paper, and asked curiously:

"Brother Wen, what are you doing?"

Wen Xichun didn't even raise his head: "We can't wait here any longer, so I roughly drew a bird's-eye view based on the route we traveled before."

"Is there any clue." Mr. Zhou leaned over on crutches when he heard it.

"At that time, half an hour after the school supervisor left, the auditorium was completely closed. During this period of time, she may have gone to a place where she could control the doors and windows of the auditorium. A little analysis shows that the control room is far away from the auditorium. Everyone must think so. "

The two nodded.

"But in fact, we went around the whole school to investigate Jiang Yu's disappearance. I remember that it took 15 minutes. The school is not big, so what was she doing in the remaining 15 minutes, but the point is, the doors and windows are automatic. Falling can only be achieved by operating the switch with electricity, but the auditorium is a relatively independent building in the whole school, and if you pull the wires, it will be very eye-catching, so I guess, the control switch is in the auditorium."

Wen Xichun found out the compass from the mobile phone: "I remember hearing from my physics teacher that the wave-particle radiation in the magnetic field will be affected by the current intensity."

He turned the phone and aimed the compass at the door of the room. The pointer of the compass suddenly turned from S to N in a large circle.

"And the magnetic field will affect the compass. We have judged the correct direction through the sound of the wind in the mezzanine upstairs, and it is facing north. But we also observed it when we went down to this room from the mezzanine. The door opens to the south, which is exactly the opposite of the mezzanine. This is supposed to be south, but the pointer turned around and returned to north, so that means that there is a strong current behind the door that affects the magnetic field, and the switch may be in this direction."

Mr. Zhou agreed again and again: "That's right, it's safest to install this kind of mechanism switch near the principal's office, and it won't be easily discovered by others."

Although Bai Jian didn't understand it very well, she could hear the general idea.

"But the problem is that there are iron doors here, and we can't break through them. Even if we know the position of the switch, we can't do anything."

Wen Xichun suddenly picked up his chair and slammed it towards the iron door.

There was a loud bang, and the iron door remained motionless.

"By the way, don't you know how to pick a lock? Try it?" Wen Xichun suddenly remembered the scene where Bai Jian used a wire to pry open the basement door.

Bai Jian took a deep breath: "Then I'll try."

She looked around and finally landed on the small alarm clock on the desk.

She picked up the alarm clock and slammed it on the ground, causing the poor alarm clock to shatter in an instant.

Bai Jian took off the second hand from the dial, walked to the iron door, stooped slightly, and carefully poked the second hand into the keyhole.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and she kept poking in this posture for more than ten minutes——

"click" sound.

Everyone looked over hopefully.

Bai Jian took a deep breath again, turned her head slowly, with an overly embarrassed smile on her face: "I'm sorry, my ability is limited, it... broke in the keyhole."

A basin of cold water fell from the sky, and everyone who was full of expectations instantly withered half like a deflated ball.

Everyone looked at the indestructible iron gate, and the fire that had just ignited in their eyes was extinguished bit by bit.

"Forget it, forget it, it's better to recharge your batteries and see if there is any other way to escape." Fred took out the cigarette case from his pocket, fumbled again, and raised his head, "Does any of you have a lighter? "

When Mr. Zhou heard this, he quickly took out the lighter from his pocket and handed it over.

An expensive cigarette was dangling from his chapped and flaky lips, the flame flickered, and a small orange light spot suddenly appeared in the dimness.

"Everyone, don't give up, no matter how meticulous the mechanism is, there will eventually be loopholes." Wen Xichun could only comfort in this way.

He turned on the phone screen and checked the time for the last time, and then the screen suddenly turned black.

out of battery.

It is eleven o'clock in the evening, and the mobile phone that has persisted for two days has finally shut down.

Now everyone's mobile phones are consuming a lot of battery power. If they are all out of power, then they may really die in this building.

Bai Jian lay on her side on the sofa and yawned big.

"Very hungry, so sleepy..."

Wen Xichun was sitting at the desk, feeling drowsy, his head began to peck at rice bit by bit, his eyes became smaller and smaller, and finally narrowed into a slit.

The only way now is to use sleep to restore physical strength.

Sleepy bugs seem to be contagious, after flying around everyone, everyone slowly closed their eyes——

****

The warm temperature touched the cold skin, and there seemed to be strange noises in the silent night.

Russling, like a mouse crossing the street.

Wen Xichun opened his eyes in a jerk, and a strange orange light suddenly appeared in front of him.

He was dazed for a few seconds, and when his eyes became clear, he followed the orange light.

It is fire.

The fire in the fireplace is burning brightly, exuding a cozy warmth.

There is a strong aroma in the air, like grilled meat, or grilled vegetables.

In front of the fireplace, a thin figure was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his back facing this side, and the firelight clearly reflected his dark silhouette.

Wen Xichun rubbed his eyes, and called softly: "Mr. Zhou?"

Hearing the sound, the figure moved obviously, but he didn't intend to turn his head.

Bai Jian seemed to have heard the voice, and slowly woke up from her sleep, looking at the fireplace in confusion.

"Wow! It turns out that this fireplace can be used, and I almost froze to death." Bai Jian excitedly jumped off the sofa, rubbed her hands and ran over.

Wen Xichun looked at the two of them, feeling a sense of strangeness spontaneously.

"Grandpa, what are you baking?" Bai Jian's innocent voice came.

Immediately afterwards, there was a lengthy silence.

"This... what is this..." A trembling voice came from Bai Jian's mouth.

Mr. Zhou did not answer directly, but passed the object in his hand that exudes a strange fragrance, "Son, try it."

"What is this!" Bai Jian seemed to be stimulated, jumped up and jumped aside.

Immediately afterwards, something wet and soft was kicked by his feet.

Wen Xichun's eyes widened suddenly, and the strangeness and uneasiness that had accompanied him since he opened his eyes was confirmed by the objects held in Mr. Zhou's hands.

Bai Jian looked at the lump of unrecognizable things on the ground, her pupils trembled violently, she raised her hand to cover her mouth, looked at Mr. Zhou in disbelief, then looked at the lump of unknown substance in his hand, and——

There are bright red iron axes at the feet.

Mr. Zhou remained motionless in the same posture just now, and the crimson-red unknown substance exuding an alluring aroma was reflected in his pupils.

"I'm sorry, I'm too hungry, I can't hold on anymore." Mr. Zhou murmured confusedly, "Others always say that tomorrow will be fine, but will tomorrow really come?"

On the ground was Fred who had turned into a puddle of mud. The flesh and blood stretched along the couch where he died, covering the floor of the entire room.

"The ax is hidden in the woodpile in the fireplace, the lighter is in my pocket, and the food is by my side." Mr. Zhou murmured blankly.

But after saying this, he suddenly lowered his head and bit the crimson flesh.

Bai Jian huddled her body and leaned against the corner of the wall, her small face almost wrinkled into a ball: "You eat human beings! You are the same kind!"

Old Mr. Zhou smiled and shook his head: "Didn't I taste human flesh as early as the day I first came here? There is no difference between eating once and eating ten thousand times."

Wen Xichun understood that since the day they first arrived at Songyue, the plan had been quietly unfolding.

People can survive by drinking urine when they are extremely hungry. At that time, there is no concept of urine in the mind, and the only thought is to survive.

So at the end of the road, someone told them that they had eaten human flesh, so in this case they have also lost the concept of the same kind, and their only thought is to survive.

The slightly sharp teeth are struggling to bite the piece of meat, and the movement of swallowing is also extremely anxious.

It is an undeniable fact that human nature cannot stand scrutiny.

Wen Xichun lowered his hands slowly, his voice hoarse and sour: "Didn't I say that I would take you out?"

"I know, and I really believe that you have this ability." Mr. Zhou smiled, "But I'm too hungry, I'm old, and I can't wait."

The scent filled the air, instantly arousing the greed of the two of them.

It had been almost three days since he had eaten anything, he was so hungry that he was close to collapse, and his will was being exhausted bit by bit.

Bai Jian was stunned for a while, then suddenly raised her feet and walked towards the fireplace.

She only had that fat piece in her eyes, and she even swallowed unconsciously.

"I... can I have a piece of it?"

The will is finally destroyed, especially in the case of extreme hunger, the aroma of food will make people feel more hungry.

"Bai Jian!" Wen Xichun rushed over and pulled her up from the ground involuntarily.

He didn't speak, but looked firmly at the embarrassed girl in front of him.

Bai Jian's brows furrowed a little bit, and water stains gradually appeared in her eye sockets.

She bit her lower lip, trying to hold back her crying: "But I'm really hungry, my mind is blank, I just know that if this continues, I will die."

"Persist a little longer, I promise you." Wen Xichun held Bai Jian's hand tightly, for fear that if he didn't pay attention to Bai Jian, he would pounce on those pieces of meat.

Bai Jian shook her head vigorously, tears running down her cheeks: "It doesn't matter, you know, I killed that bastard Li, anyway, I have already taken my life, even if I go out, there is no future, it might as well be the last It’s not in vain to eat a meal to your heart’s content.”

It was indeed Bai Jian's behavior. She knew that Li Yuan had already threatened their lives, so she might as well strike first. She herself is a girl who puts herself first, and the consequences are not important to her at all.

Wen Xichun only felt powerless, both physically and psychologically.

He retracted his hand blankly and put it in his pocket, groping casually without knowing the intention.

In fact, he didn't want to grope for anything, but when he felt confused, his hands would subconsciously make this movement.

only--

Through a thin layer of fabric, my fingers seemed to have touched something hard, about the size of a palm, and it was tucked into the corner of the pocket.

He quickly took it out to have a look.

A beautifully packaged piece of chocolate.

There seems to be a small note attached to the back of the chocolate.

[The idiot recommends eating more sweets. 】

In an instant, Yao Jingrong's face with a slightly playful smile emerged in his mind.

I don't know when it was inserted.

Wen Xichun stared blankly at this piece of chocolate, his heart suddenly moved.

Call others stupid, but only a stupid will push others to live in life and death.

Wen Xichun smiled and handed the chocolate to Bai Jian: "Accidental discovery."

Seeing the chocolate, Bai Jian relaxed her frown a little bit, and her emotions that were on the verge of collapse seemed to be calming down slowly.

She tremblingly took the chocolate, raised her hand and wiped her eyes: "Chocolate is divided into three parts, you have one, I have one, and the last one, take it out when you are really desperate."

"So, are you waiting to see my jokes?"

Just when the two were extremely pleasantly surprised by this unexpected discovery, a trembling voice slowly floated over from the corner.

Mr. Zhou put down the piece of meat in his hand, slowly stood up from the ground, and looked over against the firelight, only his swaying and dark figure seemed to be slowly bending down.

"After I completely abandoned my humanity and ate my own kind, I said, ah, there is a piece of chocolate..."

Wen Xichun frowned: "It wasn't intentional, and I just discovered it. It may have been stuffed in by Doctor Yao."

"Yao Forensic Medicine." Mr. Zhou sneered, as if he had heard a big joke, "Everyone is dead, there's no need for it."

When Wen Xichun heard the words "too dead", his mood fluctuated slightly.

"Mr. Zhou, I respect you as a philanthropist, and I have always admired you, but making fun of the dead is really low."

"Low?" Mr. Zhou slowly picked up the iron ax from the ground, weighed it in his hand twice, and then walked slowly towards this side.

At this moment, he was completely free from the crutches, but his steps were steady, as if the crutches were just an ornament.

"At a critical moment, everyone should work together to deal with it. At this moment of urgent need for food, you hid the chocolate. When I was so hungry that I completely abandoned my humanity and cannibalized the same kind, you took it out and said to me. An old man with half a foot in the coffin is showing off complacently, who is lower?"

Wen Xichun was helpless: "I really don't have such an idea, and I told you, if you persist, it's because you don't have enough willpower, so who is to blame."

Mr. Zhou held an ax and walked through the blood and flesh, and finally came to Wen Xichun.

Although he is old, his height of 1.9 meters is quite deterrent.

"From the beginning to the present, only the two of you are safe and sound. To be honest, you and the mastermind behind this game are the same group, in order to witness with your own eyes the ugly jokes we made when we faced desperation." Mr. Zhou's eyes were red , like a red-eyed beast.

Wen Xichun didn't know how to explain it, even if he explained it, he wouldn't believe it.

The sharp iron ax flashed a dazzling cold light in the air, and the withered old hand holding it couldn't help trembling slightly.

"So I think, as long as you die, I can leave this ghost place."
