Chapter 54 Rainy Night
"It was raining that day," the woman said. "It was raining hard. I was holding an umbrella, and half of my body was soaked by the rain."
"But when I put away my umbrella and rushed to the gate of Building C, I found that the door was already locked with two very thick iron chains."
When Zhou Taifu heard this, his expression changed slightly, and then he turned his head as if to say something to Yu Wen, but the latter didn't even look at him.
"I was very anxious at the time because I just came here and I didn't have any particularly close friends, so I was too embarrassed to stay overnight with other teachers."
"Perhaps I was unwilling to give up, so I stepped forward and pushed the door. I thought that if the security personnel were negligent, it would not necessarily be locked if the door was not locked."
Having said this, the next second, the woman's expression suddenly became strange.
Yu Wen stopped writing, looked at the woman expressionlessly, and said lightly: "It seems like this is really happening."
After a while, the woman nodded, "Yes, both locks are open, as if someone put them there intentionally for show."
"But at that time, all I could think about was that I could get the key and not bother others. I didn't think much about anything else. I just hurried towards the office."
"Which floor is the office on?" Yu Wen looked up.
"Level 3," the woman added, "304."
Yu Wen picked up a pen and recorded it in her notebook.
This may be important information.
"The whole building was very quiet at that time. All the classrooms were dark, except for a few emergency lights, which were dimly bright deep in the corridor. It was very scary to watch."
Zhou Taifu listened very carefully. He had already put himself in that rainy night. When the woman mentioned some strange things, he also became nervous.
"I had no choice but to turn on the flashlight on my phone, and then ran to the third floor in front of the office door. After opening the door, I turned around and locked the door. I don't know why, but if I have to explain it, it's just intuition."
Zhang Yinyin, who had always been silent, suddenly said, "What did you find?"
"I don't know either," the woman shook her head, "I still don't know exactly what happened. In short, I just feel something is wrong, that voice."
Yu Wen stopped the pen in her hand and looked at the woman, whose expression finally changed.
"Voice?" Zhou Taifu huddled between Yu Wen and Zhang Yinyin, and asked in a weak tone: "What is that sound?"
"Footsteps," the woman turned her head and looked at Zhou Taifu and replied, "the footsteps when I was running. Because the night was extremely quiet, the footsteps echoed in the empty corridor very clearly, but" her expression suddenly changed , "But those footsteps are wrong!"
"Those are definitely not my footsteps!" the woman said in a loss of voice.
"You mean someone is following you?" Yu Wen frowned.
The woman shook her head, "I don't know, I didn't see anyone."
"Then how did you know that the footsteps were wrong," Zhang Yin Yin took over. Her tone was very gentle, and combined with her cute appearance, it was easy to impress others.
"Maybe it's your fear," she comforted. "The scene at the time and the weird atmosphere created will amplify the uneasiness in your heart. The footsteps of another person you heard may be just an echo."
But the woman's next words made Zhang Yinyin's smile freeze instantly.
"Impossible!" The woman raised her head suddenly, and bright red bloodshot eyes filled her eyes. "I was wearing sneakers at the time, but there was clearly the sound of high heels in the footsteps!!"
Zhou Taifu was stunned for a few seconds, and then a chill ran down his back.
"But when I closed the office door, all the sounds disappeared again. I hid behind the door, not daring to move. I listened for a long time, about 10 minutes. It was indeed very quiet outside the door, without any sound."
"I turned on all the lights in the office, and the room was bright."
"You ended up staying in the office overnight?"
Hearing this, the woman slowly shook her head, "I thought about it, but finally gave up," she said as she glanced out the window, her eyebrows frowning unnaturally.
"I don't dare. This building feels so strange to me. I don't want to stay there for a second longer."
"After I found the key, I thought about it for a long time and decided to leave. What I wanted to do at that time was to use my mobile phone to illuminate it and then rush out in one go."
"But just when I mustered up the courage to open the door, the phone in the office suddenly rang."
"You may not feel it, but I was really frightened and almost fainted."
"I hesitated and moved to the phone. Fortunately, I recognized the number displayed on it. It was from the school security department. After I picked it up, I found out that it was them who saw the lights on in the office in Building C from a distance. I didn't know. What happened, so I called to ask."
"I almost cried. It was the first time I felt so happy that someone called me. After they learned about the situation, they agreed to come and pick me up and asked me to stay in the office and not wander around."
An unnatural look appeared on Yu Wen's face when she heard this, but it was fleeting and did not attract the woman's attention.
"And after that?"
"Soon I heard hurried footsteps, about 3 or 4 people, approaching from far away. Then someone knocked on the door."
"When I opened the door and saw them, I felt like I came back to life for a moment, and tears and runny noses poured out uncontrollably."
"The leader is a man with a bald head, a big body and a round waist. He looks very strong. Behind him are two men and a woman."
"They were all wearing security uniforms. They criticized me and asked me why I didn't follow the school rules."
"I didn't care about anything at the time. I just kept apologizing to them. After all, I made them suffer because of my own problems, and in such weather."
"The second point is that I hope they don't report it to the school. I just came here to work and don't want to leave the impression of being undisciplined by the leaders."
"At that time, they saw that it was not easy for a little girl like me, so they didn't say anything. Only the bald leader glanced at the dark corridor from time to time, as if he was on guard against something."
"I remember that he was the most fierce at the beginning," the woman seemed to have thought of something and recalled: "I remember he kept saying something like "you don't want to die", and his appearance was particularly scary."
"Then they asked me to pack my things and prepared to take me away. But when I was about to walk out the door, I suddenly remembered that I forgot my umbrella next to my desk, so I turned back to get it."
After saying this, she suddenly paused, and then stared at the people in front of her with a strange look, her face gradually pale.
"I suddenly realized something," the woman's whole body began to tremble abnormally, her pupils gradually shrank, and the following words seemed to be squeezed out from her throat bit by bit.
"They didn't bring umbrellas or wear raincoats. Their clothes looked like new, with no signs of getting wet at all."
