Chapter 679 Doubts

Finally we arrived at the fourth floor, and everyone stopped in front of a low door. It was a wooden door with a piece of white paper on it. Read М

The white paper said "Do not disturb during lunch break".

It seems to be here.

There was a black lock hanging on the door.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual around, Gao Yan took out a thin wire from his pocket. It was still rusty. He didn't know where he got it from.

Then he gave Shen Mengyun and Jiang Cheng a look, and then he started to unlock the door.

Jiang Cheng glanced at it casually, and then showed a barely perceptible disdainful expression. This technique was too rough, just an entry-level one.

About a minute later, accompanied by the sound of a crisp bullet, the lock was unlocked.

Gao Yan took off the door lock, took a step back, made room for the door, and then glanced at Shen Mengyun who had never spoken.

The meaning was obvious. Jiang Cheng went to the bathroom to explore the way first, and he had just unlocked the door. It was Shen Mengyun's turn next. It was impossible to get clues for free.

In the mission, everyone has to realize their own value, which is also the capital for cooperation.

In other words, the three of them ventured in, whether they would choose to share the intelligence they got with the few people outside, how much to share, and even whether it was true or false, all of these were up to them.

After all, the intelligence was obtained by their risk, which was equivalent to occupying the right to speak in the team in disguise.

Shen Mengyun did not say anything more, walked forward, pushed the door with one hand, and placed it on the white paper, exerting a little force. Just before the door trembled slightly and was about to be pushed, her body shook.

Then, as if she had discovered something, she began to grope on the white paper.

"What's wrong?" Gao Yan asked with a frown.

"There seems to be something behind this." Shen Mengyun turned her head and whispered to Jiang Cheng and Gao Yan: "You guys step back, I'll tear this paper off and take a look."

Jiang Cheng looked at Shen Mengyun with a playful look, but his body still honestly stepped back until half of his body was hidden behind Gao Yan.

"Swish——"

After a very light sound, the paper appeared in Shen Mengyun's hand. After about half a minute, seeing that nothing happened, Shen Mengyun waved and asked them to come back.

"Look." She pointed to a place on the door, which was exactly where the white paper was.

There were several cracks on this place, which did not seem to be formed naturally. Jiang Cheng reached out and touched it, "It seems to have been cut by a knife."

The existence of this white paper is probably to cover up the knife marks.

After pushing open the wooden door, Shen Mengyun walked in first, Jiang Cheng took the second place, and Gao Yan was a step slower.

Yuan Xiaoyi said that there were no windows in the warehouse, so everyone was not worried that turning on the flashlight would be noticed by people outside the building, so they all turned on their mobile phones.

The area of ​​the warehouse was larger than they expected. There were several beds placed near the door. Unlike the beds in their dormitory, the beds here were propped up.

Similar to a camp bed, it was okay to use it occasionally for lunch break.

There were some sundries, sneakers, magazines, and half a box of mineral water next to the camp bed. It seemed that someone had indeed rested here recently.

"Let's go inside and have a look." Shen Mengyun suggested.

Jiang Cheng took out another piece of paper from his pocket, on which were marked some of the arrangements of the Ghost Story Club.

Yuan Xiaoyi recalled that in order to conceal their identities as much as possible, they chose to share supernatural stories in the innermost part of the warehouse.

Of course, this was just her statement, and no one else in the school believed it except her.

And Yuan Xiaoyi herself said that she came here again after her friend disappeared, trying to find evidence of her friend's existence, but everything was no longer what she remembered.

All traces that could prove that they had been together disappeared, and this was just an ordinary old warehouse.

Except for the outside, the warehouse was full of iron shelves, not very high, with various models, and it looked rather messy.

The shelves were piled with some waste equipment, or bundles of unopened teaching aids. Jiang Cheng wiped them gently with his hand, and they were full of dust.

The whole warehouse gave them the feeling that it had been sealed for a long time and was only opened recently.

The further they walked in, the more obvious this feeling became. They even felt as if they were falling into the depths of the ocean. Shen Mengyun couldn't help but wonder, has anyone really been here before?

Until they came to the last iron frame, Gao Yan looked at Jiang Cheng, who was holding a painting and said with a sense of something: "According to the markings on the painting, this should be their secret base. They always tell strange stories behind this iron frame."

The iron frame was like a barrier, forming an angle with the wall behind it, just separating a space, which was very hidden.

Jiang Cheng was a little bit unconvinced that a group of girls gathered in such a place at night to tell supernatural stories.

Especially after seeing the scene behind the iron frame.

There were a lot of sundries piled up behind, including old tables and chairs, some flattened cardboard boxes, and more iron chains that were hard to tell what they were used for, as well as iron frames.

In short, there was no sign of human activity at all.

But strangely, after seeing these things, Jiang Cheng, Shen Mengyun and Gao Yan's eyes became exciting.

Gao Yan narrowed his eyes, looked around a few times, and said in a dull voice: "It is indeed suspicious."

Shen Mengyun nodded, and then seemed to be responding to Gao Yan's words, "The things piled here are too dense."

"And did you notice that the things placed here are relatively heavy, such as iron chains, iron racks, tables and chairs, which are difficult to carry or move."

"There are so many empty spaces in the warehouse, why do we have to keep things close by and pile them at the very back?" She paused and then said, "It seems to be deliberately covering up something."

Jiang Cheng compared the sketches drawn by Yuan Xiaoyi from memory and took the lead in finding out where the girls sat when they told their strange stories.

They formed a circle, each with a chair. Anyway, the most indispensable thing in the warehouse was old tables and chairs.

According to Yuan Xiaoyi, because she was timid, she deliberately chose a position with her back against the wall, so that at least she would be safe behind her and she could feel more at ease.

Jiang Cheng walked into the corner, compared the sketches, then pointed at several large boxes leaning against the wall and said, "Move these."

Shen Mengyun and Gao Yan started working immediately. The box was very heavy and they didn't dare to make any noise, so it was quite difficult. It took them nearly 10 minutes to completely clear away the debris, revealing the dark cement wall behind it.

"How is it?" Gao Yan asked breathlessly.

Jiang Cheng squatted down by the wall, then put his phone close to the wall, moved it little by little, and compared the pictures with his opponent from time to time. After about 2 minutes, Jiang Cheng suddenly said: "Found it."

Hearing this, Shen Mengyun and Gao Yan immediately approached. Jiang Cheng pointed at the dark cement wall and said, "Look, there are many traces left by friction here."

Due to the light, the traces are not very obvious, but once pointed out, it becomes much clearer, and there are still some superficial cracks on it.

Jiang Cheng casually took a chair and laid it flat with the back of the chair close to the wall. Shen Mengyun could clearly see that the screw used for fixation on the back of the chair was clearly protruding, and the position coincided with the scratch mark.
