Manual of the Monster in City

30 Something wrong?

    When the three people arrived at the activity room at the end of the west corridor on the fourth floor, there were no other people waiting at the door.

    "Senior, let's go to the house and wait." Xiao Shanshan said.

    "It's locked." Yuan Baiyang said.

    In fact, Yuan Mu-mutou was already acting as soon as Xiao Shanshan's words fell. He reached out and pressed his hand on the doorknob, but obviously the door was locked and could not be opened.

    In fact, almost all rooms in the teaching building are locked at this time, and only a few classrooms may not be locked due to a momentary negligence.

    "Ah, this kind of little thing. I'm the president of our club! How come there is no key to the activity room! Hehehe." She fetched a key from her pocket and inserted it into the keyhole and turned it slightly. , I heard the sound of the door being opened.

    "Actually, I have prepared some activity supplies." Xiao Shanshan seems to have finally recovered from the previous shock, talking and laughing again, and sold it off.

    "What is that thing?" Jia Qingming asked. He didn't expect it to be any good thing at all. He just hoped that it would not be too shocking.

    "Look!" She showed Jia Qingming something like a treasure. It was a folding tent, and the seal of the package was still intact. It seemed to be a new purchase and had not been used at all.

    "There are plans for everyone to camp together in club activities! You can try it later. For example, everyone sneaks in at night and spends the night here, just like camping! Then everyone turns on the flashlight and tells ghost stories here!"

    Jia Qingming had an expression of "I will watch you continue to die". In fact, without the guy from Edogawa who should be able to make suggestions, Xiao Shanshan's crooked ideas would never stop!

    Then she took out...potato chips.

    "Senior, do you want to come?"

    "Ah, even if I—"

    Jia Qingming was about to refuse, but before he finished speaking, he saw Yuan Mu-mutu mechanically stretched out a hand, took out a potato chip from the bag, and ate it. The activity room was filled with a burst of potato chips. The atmosphere seems to be a lot more active, which is pretty good.

    Jia Qingming comforted herself like this, watching Yuan Mu-mutu and Xiao Shanshan chewing the potato chips brought into his mouth piece by piece.

    But he has been thinking about the toilet cubicle since just now.

    It is indeed a long time since it has been used, and it has not been cleaned for a long time. If the campus legend is true, it can fully explain the previous events...

    Why did the uncle guard of the campus put his hand on the doorknob, but still gave up? When he left, he walked fast and looked anxious to leave. It seems that as soon as I walked out, I locked the school door and quickly handed over the shift and went home...

    Sure enough, the toilet cubicle is...

    "Ha...Ha..." A man's panting voice came from the door, and Edogawa-san pushed open the ajar door and ran in, "Finally found you..."

    "What's the matter? Was scared?" Xiao Shanshan squinted her eyes and narrowed her eyes, which almost made Jia Qingming forget her weak and frightened appearance.

    "No, no, Li Guisheng... is missing..."

    "what?"

    The silence in the room was terrible, and suddenly there was a terrible sound that broke the dead silence here——

    Ticking.

    That was... the sound of dripping water.

    The source of the sound... is in this room. It was the old faucet that had been abandoned for a long time and Yuan Baiyang decided that it was useless in the afternoon.

    Is it spirit? It seems that there is indeed a vague and vague feeling... as if it is a spiritual feeling. But Jia Qingming thought it was weird, or from before...he always thought it was weird.

    Because the feeling about the spirit is obscure, as if it exists, and it seems to be neutralized by other feelings.

    Is it because Yuan Boyang is nearby that he can feel it? But it is unlikely that the real ghost...rather than the "short-lived spirit" condensed by people's thoughts, would not be easily disturbed by the nearby positive physique.

    Everyone's eyes were fixed on the sudden dripping faucet.

    There was a special sound of air in the cavity, as if something was roaring hissing. Xiao Shanshan had just put on such a powerful look, and as a result, he immediately returned to his original shape, jumped up and ran behind Yuan Baiyang. Hide.

    then……

    Water began to gurgle from the faucet, making a rustling noise.

    "You forgot to turn it off this afternoon." Yuan Mutou pointed out, pointing at the culprit Jia Qingming.

    "Didn't you say that there is no way to pass the water!" Jia Qingming complained.

    "Maybe it's blocked somewhere." Yuan Mutou said, "Now we can open it by ourselves. If we didn't come tonight, we would waste a lot of water."

    "Enough, you wood!" Jia Qingming walked over and screwed on the faucet, and the water stopped immediately. The dust in the pool was washed away by the water, condensed into a turbid mud, poured in from the drain.

    But the strange and weird feeling still hasn't disappeared, it exists in this club room.

    There seems to be something...

    Somewhere... staring at them.

    "When did classmate Li Guisheng disappear?" Xiao Shanshan began to be a detective and interrogated.

    "It was about twenty minutes ago. I didn't wear a watch, so I don't know the specific time."

    "Where is that... where?"

    "Probably on the west side of the second floor. We were there to see if the classroom door could be opened..."

    "But there is no weird place there on the map." Yuan Mutou pointed out.

    "Yeah, because you will definitely go to those places. If the soldiers are divided into two groups, if the time is not well controlled, they may collide together. So I don't think it's very good, so I feel like going there..."

    "What to see over there?"

    "Because there are several high school classrooms on the west side of the second floor-high school 34, 15 and 16."

    "What does this have to do with the third year classroom?"

    "I want to take Li Guisheng to find... the ghost of the imperial hall..."

    "Experimental ghost?" Jia Qingming asked. After the term was spoken, it seemed that the atmosphere became colder and stranger.

    "It seems... where did you hear it?" Xiao Shanshan was thinking hard.

    Speaking of cold knowledge, Edogawa’s panic suddenly disappeared. He pushed his black-rimmed glasses and immediately returned to his familiar field:

    "The ancient imperial examination failed many times, and the people who died in depression would turn into imperial ghosts after their souls greedy the world. They will appear in the study, some will do some pranks, some will do some good deeds to help Scholars revise their articles...They place their last wishes in the imperial examinations on others. Although the times have changed, they are the same, but now students are not studying in the study room, but in the school classroom. More importantly, Shintei Middle School has always been an examination room for the college entrance examination." Edogawa paused a bit when he said that.

    "It turned out to be like this." Xiao Shanshan said.

    Is it really... such a thing as an imperial ghost? Jia Qingming fell into thinking. But he has no way of judging, his knowledge of things like ghosts is almost zero. Only Miss Bai Ling, as a person who has eaten the flesh of the beast Bai Ze, can easily identify the demons and ghosts of the world. Even if he saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't judge what kind of "variety" it was...

    "The reason why I went there is that it has been arranged by the school as a classroom for the third year... and more importantly..." Edogawa said, "more importantly, the 34th and 15th There are 16 classes in the class, which are the last three classes in the third year of high school. According to the school’s habit, these classes are usually students with poor grades, so they are also arranged on the second floor, unlike other high school third classes. On the first floor, for easy access. So..."

    "So that kind of place is more likely to breed this kind of...experimental ghosts. Because of the unsatisfactory test results, you end up depressed...even people who commit suicide under extreme pressure?"

    "Yes," he said. "Unfortunately, the imperial ghost was not found, but Li Guisheng was lost."

    "Did you look for him after that?"

    "Of course I have looked for it. When he disappeared, I was telling him a story about the ghost of the science field. I turned around and found that he was not behind me. But there was a straight corridor over there, and I thought he was going too. Not too far away, maybe I really saw an imperial ghost wearing an old school uniform or a modern school uniform, so I went into that room to check it... I think so."

    "Hey...who is like you?!"

    "But I looked at every room over there. They were all locked. There seemed to be some strange noises from Class Fourteen, but the front and back doors and the windows next to the corridor were locked. I faced the corridor from the door. I looked in the small window and took a picture with a flashlight, but I didn’t find anything. Maybe a mouse or something passed by."

    "Have you looked for each one?"

    "Yeah. I have searched for each one. Or... there is no way to find it. The doors are locked. I have also searched for the toilet on the other side. Later I thought he might be too scared and came up, but it didn't. When I saw him, I thought about looking for you. So..."

    "So," Xiao Shanshan spread out the map on the table, and the flashlight dangling white light shone on it, suddenly flashing for a while, and then went out.

    Xiao Shanshan had to take the map to the window and carefully check the situation with him. "Here is the place where it disappeared? And these? All of these? I've been looking for them? Sure? There is a strange voice in Class 34? Hmm...what else?"

    Jia Qingming looked at the simply outlined area on the map from behind, but felt that it was useless. Where did Li Guisheng go? Maybe which classroom is like that strange toilet cubicle door, which can be opened accidentally like a wind, and then can't be opened?

    He thought, the irritability in his heart became more and more intense.

    He looked out the window, and under the moonlight, the ghost building in the distance stood at the end of his line of sight, exuding a cold atmosphere among the shadows of the shadowy trees.

    The feeling of being stared at... Again...

    Wait... will it be...

    He suddenly changed a very strange mind-

    "Li Guisheng, you fellow, come out for me!" Jia Qingming angrily pulled the closet door.

    Sure enough, Li Guisheng's scared and trembling voice came from inside--

    "No!" The people inside resisted.

    Xiao Shanshan let out a sigh of relief: "In short, our club activities have come to a successful conclusion! Wait for everyone to go to the window on the first floor and jump out! No one was lost! It's a very exciting activity! Ah ah I’m really a perfect president. Our slogan is—"

    "Make trouble, make trouble, make trouble!" the happy voice.

    ————

    But the big news that caused a sensation in the high school section of Shenting Middle School the next day was...

A student mysteriously disappeared.
