Chapter 12 Chapter 10 Night Machine

Nalan's routine of life was interrupted for two days after she discovered Ning Yuxin's body, but she quickly forced herself to return to her original state, starting at eight o'clock sharp, running and swimming. After swimming, she did not return to the dormitory, but left the school gate and went straight to Jiangda High School.The High School Affiliated to Jiangda University is only three streets away from the main entrance of Jiangjing University, ten minutes away.The gate of the attached middle school was closed tightly, and there was a small gate next to the big iron gate, which was also closed.Following the boy's instructions, Nalan crossed a path and went around to the back gate of the school.Sure enough, there were bright lights, and three or five workers were busy under a cement truck.The back door was open.

Nalan entered the back door, passed under the shadow of the trees beside the construction site, and walked into the quiet campus. The campus is too quiet, which is probably why, she always feels that she is not the only one walking in the dark.She could even hear the rustling of the bushes. Suddenly a black shadow appeared.It's just a feral cat looking for food. She suddenly felt ominous. The office building of the High School Affiliated to Jiang University is a five-story wide building.Nalan walked to the door of the building, pushed the door open, and the door was locked.She walked around the building for more than half a circle, and found a window on the ground floor with a piece of glass missing.The gap is one foot square, and there are still glass on the top, bottom, left, and right sides, so it must not allow one person to get in.Nalan reached in through the gap, groped a bit, found the iron buckle that locked the window, unscrewed it, and the whole window swung open.

So far, the boy's description has been unsatisfactory. In the future, when he writes suspense novels, he will definitely surpass Qin Huai of the mandarin duck and butterfly school. Nalan rolled into the window, held her breath, to resist the foul smell coming from her nostrils.It was the first time in Na Lan's life to enter the men's toilet through the window, and hopefully also the last time.She escaped from the toilet, regained her breath, and walked up to the third floor. The corridors and stairs were dark and quiet, and the flexible sneakers under Na Lan's feet touched the ground, almost silently, but it was magnified countless times in this quiet darkness, vividly in my ears.She told herself that there is no one here, there is nothing to worry about, and it doesn't matter to sing for courage.

She suddenly realized that she seemed to really need to "bolster her courage".The darkness has a power to devour people, and the oppressive feeling it brings to her cannot be estimated in advance, and she cannot be prepared psychologically. In fact, the darkness itself is not scary, nor is it scary to be alone in the dark, but what is scary is that she is not alone in the dark. She didn't want to attract the guard's attention, so she didn't turn on the light, took out the flashlight from her backpack, and shone the light circle on the top of each door on both sides of the corridor. "Mathematics Teaching and Research Section", "Physics Teaching and Research Section", "Politics Teaching and Research Section", "College Entrance Examination Strategy Office", "Chinese Teaching and Research Section".

She turned the doorknob of the Chinese teaching and research room, but couldn't move it.She took out the duplicate key that the boy gave her and opened it with a single turn. It really was the simplest kind of lock. Standing in the same dark office, Nalan realized that she didn't know which desk belonged to Ning Yuxin.Since Ning Yuxin has resigned, the two large desks in the center of the office must belong to other teachers.Nalan held up the flashlight and looked at several desks along the wall one by one.Finally, she saw a photo on a desk in the corner, Ning Yuxin and a middle-aged man and woman, presumably her parents, the joyful smiles of the three of them seemed to be able to shine in the dark.

Another tragedy where a white-haired person sends a black-haired person is unimaginable. The desk was neatly organized, apparently no one had touched it in the past two days.The Public Security Bureau must also have grasped Ning Yuxin's employment history, but they probably didn't expect that although she had resigned, she still had a desk in the school. The drawers on both sides of the table were unlocked. Nalan opened the left drawer and took a photo with a flashlight. Some blank textbooks, some stationery, office supplies, and a bottle of perfume—don’t look or smell it, it must be lavender fragrance type.The drawer on the right was opened, and there were some clothes, a pair of jeans, a long-sleeved T-shirt, and a sun hat.

The only one that was locked was the one next to the middle of the desk. Na Lan took out the swimming card issued to her by the school, stuffed it in through the gap above the drawer, pressed it down, and there was a soft "click", and then pulled the drawer, and it opened. There is only one item in the entire drawer.A summer version of "Guangzhou Railway Station Train Timetable". It appears that there are no secrets here.But why lock a timetable in a drawer? Na Lan took out the timetable, opened it, and a thin piece of paper fell out. A train ticket, Jiangjing to Guangzhou.

Na Lan aimed the flashlight at the face of the ticket. The departure time of the ticket was the day before yesterday, the day after Ning Yuxin's death. Before Ning Yuxin died, she was going to travel to Huacheng.If she is still alive, it would be a good idea to avoid the troubles of the entertainment version, right and wrong in Jiangjing. But why lock a train ticket here? She opened the train timetable again, and was about to see if there were any treasures hidden in it, and if there were any clues, she heard the sound of the office doorknob turning gently. Nalan's heart began to beat wildly, and it seemed that she was really not the only one in the darkness.

The door was locked, so when the handle was turned, it didn't open.The door can be knocked open, and it will take less than two seconds, but it may alarm the guard not far away—if the guard is not asleep.In a more professional way, the door didn't have any strong locks, and it was a no-brainer for him.At most ten seconds later, the door opened, and a black figure appeared at the door. Because he was dressed in black, he completely melted into the darkness. In fact, it was not even a shadow. He walked into the office, his footsteps also melted into the darkness, silently.When she speaks, the girl named Nalan will regret it, she shouldn't have come to find Ning Yuxin's remains, and even, she can really "see" Ning Yuxin.

However, she is no longer in the office! He turned on the flashlight, leaning against a desk in the corner, the middle drawer was half opened.He walked over, and on the table were photos of Ning Yuxin's family.Damn, the drawer is empty! He moved the flashlight quickly and scanned the entire office. He didn't see Nalan, but saw another door...another two doors! This office is connected to other offices!One on the left and one on the right, Nalan could escape from any of the adjoining offices.He chose the door closer to Ning Yuxin's desk and opened it, and then heard the sound of another door opening not far away.

Sure enough, Na Lan passed from the Chinese teaching and research room to the adjacent office, and was fleeing outward. He hurried to catch up, knowing that Nalan could not escape his palms, or rather, their palms—his accomplice was waiting outside the window of the toilet, and Nalan jumped out, and he would jump directly into their palms . Nalan panted heavily, running in the dark.Instead of the initial feeling of fear is a deeper fear.For the first time in her life, she felt like being hunted. The person who came to "find" her was very professional, there was no sound of footsteps in the corridor, the door lock was opened lightly and quickly, and the footsteps after her were also very light.It was at the end of the corridor just now, and in a blink of an eye it has reached the stairs. The chaser didn't speak, but for some reason, Nalan seemed to be able to hear the threat in his confident footsteps: "You can't escape." Is it just a train ticket? A deeper sense of fear is replaced by a desire to survive. Calm down, hurry up, go back the same way, and be a stink chaser again, the window should still be open. He could hear the sound of Nalan's running footsteps, fast and light, as expected of a fitness woman who never stopped exercising.When he chased to the stairs on the first floor, he happened to hear the bang of a door being closed in the corridor, which indeed seemed to be in the direction of the toilet.Na Lan really wanted to escape the same way. He chased after a few steps, and arrived at the men's toilet. The toilet door was still shaking slightly. It was obvious that Na Lan had already gone in, or had already reached the window. Push open the toilet door, but there is no one in front of the window.She must have jumped out of the window and onto the point of his accomplice's knife.It's a pity, it's a pity that Ning Yuxin and Na Lan, two beauties, ended up on the same road so soon. He went to the window, only to find his accomplice standing there like a stump, as if nothing had happened. Indeed nothing happened! Nalan did not return from the same way. Damn it, he cursed in a low voice, turned around, pushed the door out, and then pushed open the door of the women's toilet opposite. A window was open, and he could even see Na Lan's figure disappearing in the direction of the school's back door. Na Lan ran to the back door of the High School Affiliated to Jiangda University and saw the construction site of the parking lot, she saw the light.She regained her composure for a little while, she was a little relieved, and she didn't slow down.She still took advantage of the darkness to bypass the construction site, stepped into the path, looked back, no one followed, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. But then she forgot how to breathe freely. Because from the intersection in front, he suddenly turned into a car, drove at full speed, and rushed towards Nalan.The path is narrow, with the wall of the attached middle school on one side and the wall of a community on the other side. The width of the road is just enough to accommodate this car, so Na Lan has no room to maneuver. The only thing she could do was to turn around and run back, but the speed of the car was so fast that she might be knocked into a ghost before she had time to run back to the construction site.But she didn't have time to weigh, she could only run fast, she didn't even bother to call for help, her eyes quickly looked to the sides. The car came faster than she could have imagined, its blinding headlights illuminating the road to hell.In the blink of an eye, she was about to be the victim of a hit-and-run car accident. Just when the car was about to hit Nalan, Nalan disappeared. In desperation, Nalan suddenly stuck to the fence of the community, and with the momentum of running, she jumped onto the wall. The car slid past her, and the car stopped amidst the screeching of tires. The moment they stopped, Na Lan landed and ran towards the intersection.The car backed up quickly.But it was already too late, and when the car without a license plate backed up at the intersection, Na Lan had already disappeared among the night-going crowd under the neon lights. I almost lost my life. This is a sentence that Nalan thought over and over again after calming his beating heart a little. what did I do?Who wants me to follow Ning Yuxin's footsteps?That is, overnight, death suddenly came so close to her. Who is it that attacked me?How does he, or they, know about my itinerary tonight?Surveillance, my every move is in the eyes of others.It was Ning Yuxin who was watching me before, but now it's someone more dangerous. Thinking of someone peeking at her in the dark, a layer of tiny pimples immediately appeared on Nalan's body. She took out her mobile phone, ready to tell Bayusheng what happened tonight, but hesitated again: What should I say?She could hear Bayusheng questioning, why did he crawl into the locked office building alone in the dark?what did you findWhy are you taking this risk? Yeah, why should I take the risk? You should go back to your dormitory, continue to finish your thesis, and forget about Qin Huai and being his so-called writing assistant. sit still. Her heart sank quickly. Not only did she not calm down from the shock just now, but she also lost all sense of security.Someone sneaked into her dormitory, someone killed Ning Yuxin before she arrived, and someone followed her out late to "steal" and almost killed her. There is only one conclusion, she must disappear.
