Chapter 668: Deceitful Smile

Chapter 678 A deceitful smile

Teacher Toad Mirror was still reading boring courseware on the podium, and didn't care how many people were listening in the audience.

Most students were also playing with their phones with their heads down, and gathered together in small groups to chat about what they were going to eat after class.

The classroom at dusk gives people a boring and sleepy feeling.

Ji Li's brows furrowed because of Clyde's words. He subconsciously took out the cigarette case but put it back.

He turned his head and looked at the wide glass window. The yellow light fell on his face, which was not dazzling.

Gu Xingjian entered Tiannan Academy of Drama in person.

This was definitely an event that caught everyone's expectations.

Due to the uniqueness of Tiannan College and the Seventh Branch, the involvement of outsiders is extremely important and may cause unknown variables.

But Gu Xingjian, who was most taboo to Ji Li, entered the scene.

After learning this, Ji Li immediately asked Fang Shenyan to be alert to any unusual movements near the college.

However, after several losses of troops and generals, the Ninth Branch made no substantial progress.

After Clyde took over the matter, everything was calm.

In addition, Fang Shenyan and Ji Li had separate tasks to perform recently, so the matter was put on hold.

Unexpectedly, before the store manager's task was about to begin, Gu Xingjian ended up personally.

This move probably means that Gu Xingjian has given up the temptation or has a breakthrough.

He entered Tiannan Drama Academy just to perform real action!

Ji Li's description of Gu Xingjian as a quiet well couldn't be more appropriate.

Because in the overt and covert confrontation, he could never figure out what the other party was going to do.

So far, his only guess is:

Tiannan Drama Academy will affect the survival of a branch, and Gu Xingjian seems to be using this to accomplish something.

Clyde took out a page from his notebook, pushed it in front of Ji Li, and said softly:

"This is his road map after entering the academy. I can't understand it. Maybe you can get some inspiration."

After Ji Li took it, he began to identify it carefully.

He has been to Tiannan Drama Academy several times and is particularly familiar with its structure.

This road map is drawn in great detail and is drawn to equal proportions in strict accordance with the structure of the college.

A dotted pencil line starts from the main entrance and winds its way through various landmarks.

Just from the drawing of the map, it is enough to see that Clyde has extraordinary abilities.

Where Gu Xingjian went and how long he stayed were all marked one by one.

Everything is clear at a glance.

Ji Li compared the route map with the scene of Gu Xingjian wandering around the academy in his mind, and asked quietly:

"How did you get it in such detail?"

Judging from the way the map was drawn, it would never have been so detailed without close observation.

He was more worried about whether Clyde had been exposed and the information obtained was a false impression that Gu Xingjian deliberately let him see.

Clyde waved his hand and responded confidently:

“This was detected through surveillance.

I was assigned by Gu Xingjian to stay at the Tiannan Academy of Drama, and through my previous career, I became a photography consultant at the academy.

The surveillance, security, and college offices were all bribed by me.

In Gu Xingjian's view, my identity is harmless, so it doesn't matter if I use surveillance to 'track' him. "

Ji Li frowned and did not continue speaking.

He carefully compared every marked point on the map and slowly raised his head, thoughtfully.

For four and a half hours, Gu Xingjian wandered around the campus like a tourist.

A total of seven destinations were visited.

Library, cafeteria, women's dormitories 1 to 3, men's dormitories 1 to 4, and staff office building E-2.

Regarding these seven locations, there are two doubts that Ji Li pays attention to.

First of all, why did Gu Xingjian browse all four buildings for men's dormitories, but only chose three of the four buildings for women's dormitories?

Secondly, the staff office building E-2 is a very special location for the seventh branch.

Because the thirteenth floor of E-2 was exactly where Yu Guo’s fiancée Ah Lian once worked!

There are three staff office buildings, and Gu Xingjian chose E-2.

This is definitely not a coincidence.

His progress was far beyond Ji Li's imagination, and he was afraid that he had already gotten a full picture of what happened back then.

Everything you do is directed towards your destination!

Because of where Gu Xingjian went, the men's and women's dormitories were in special locations and were not monitored.

As for the library and the cafeteria, according to Clyde's description on the map, he did nothing after arriving here.

That's right.

When Gu Xingjian arrived at each destination, he did nothing.

But they stayed there for 15-20 minutes each.

Such a strange course of action made Ji Li realize that his actions were not just superficial.

Clyde didn't know it, but he knew it.

Tiannan Drama Academy is actually a supernatural place with overlapping double dimensions.

According to this idea, Gu Xingjian's actions cannot be explained in the real world, and it can only be an effect in another supernatural dimension.

Ji Li realized the crux of the problem and immediately said to Clyde:

"Give me the surveillance video of Gu Xingjian's actions."

Clyde seemed to have been prepared for a long time. As soon as he finished speaking, he handed over a tablet computer.

The scene above is exactly the scene with Gu Xingjian as the protagonist, magnified several times.

After pressing the play button, from this diagonal upward perspective, Gu Xingjian was sitting in the corner of the cafeteria wearing a pure white sportswear.

Gu Xingjian is an ordinary person at first glance, especially in the background of the cafeteria at noon.

Amid the comings and goings of people, if the surveillance camera is not specifically aimed at him, it is difficult for people to remember this ordinary figure.

This is a side angle.

Gu Xingjian sat alone in a corner of a four-seater, with a plate on the white table and a drink at hand.

He just held the chopsticks and kept eating, and from time to time he would bite the straw and look up.

People came and went in the aisle, and no one noticed his existence.

But he was observing everyone, from the perspective of a bystander.

"In the cafeteria, he was observing the students..."

In this video, Ji Li did not find any suspicious points, but Gu Xingjian's action must have some purpose.

Switch again, this time in the library earlier.

After changing the scene, Gu Xingjian was holding a book and reading carefully on the table.

There was no sound around, and no people were walking around, everyone was immersed in reading.

Because it was a perspective from the back, Ji Li could not see whether Gu Xingjian was reading a book or doing other things.

However, judging from the fact that his hands were always exposed to the camera, he seemed to be just reading.

Time passed by minute by minute, and after he had read for fifteen minutes, he put the book under his ribs and walked out.

This scene made Ji Li's eyes light up, and he finally found an unusual behavior.

Gu Xingjian did not return the book, but "stole" it!

The scene changed again.

Regarding the seven buildings of the dormitory, what Gu Xingjian did was even more weird.

He stood at the door of each of the seven buildings, looking up at the sky, his eyes raised layer by layer, and muttered something.

Ji Li enlarged the picture, aimed at his face, and carefully identified his lip shape.

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5..."

Gu Xingjian, counting the floors!

Ji Li paused the picture and recalled all the actions of Gu Xingjian in the six locations in his mind.

"Observing students in the cafeteria, stealing books in the library, counting the floors of the dormitory..."

From this point of view, Gu Xingjian did not seem to go to the supernatural dimension to do things as Ji Li expected.

He always stayed in the real world, and the seven locations should correspond to seven unusual behaviors.

He clicked on the last video with the answer.

Staff Office Building E-2.

This is also the most special place in the entire Tiannan Drama Academy that Ji Li believes, where the incident of A Lian happened.

"Tiannan Drama Academy is enough to affect the survival of a branch"

No matter from which angle, this branch is most likely to point to the seventh branch.

A Lian is the link connecting everything.

If you want to attack Tiannan Drama Academy, you must go through A Lian.

So, Ji Li was very curious about what Gu Xingjian would do in E-2 of the staff office building.

At 17:08, in front of E-2 building.

A tall and twisted shadow fell from above, and the light of dusk could not illuminate this area.

The office building at the easternmost end of the academy is rarely visited.

There is only a white-clothed figure with his hands in his pockets and an ordinary posture standing in front of the building.

He just stood in front of the E-2 building, without even raising his head, looking straight at the door, not moving forward, not moving an inch.

Five minutes, ten minutes, a full twenty minutes!

In the long and boring video, Gu Xingjian seemed to have become a static picture.

If the leaves above the camera were not shaking in the wind, it would even make people feel that the picture had ended long ago.

The doubts and puzzlement in Ji Li's eyes became more and more intense as time went by, and even spread to a kind of astonishment in the end.

Because, doing nothing is the biggest weirdness.

Suddenly, he found countless snowflakes flashing across the tablet screen.

He stretched out his finger and clicked the screen, and found that it was not the computer that was stuck, but the surveillance video had a brief malfunction.

However, when the picture was restored, the scene in front of Ji Li changed suddenly.

Gu Xingjian, who had been facing the camera, turned his head at some point and was looking directly at the monitor with a mysterious look.

In the surveillance video more than 30 minutes ago, Gu Xingjian looked up at the monitor;

In the surveillance video more than 30 minutes later, Ji Li looked down at the video.

Two misplaced time and space, two people on different sides actually had a weird situation of looking at each other.

Everything gave people an illusion of real-time happening.

Slowly, Gu Xingjian looked at the surveillance camera, his facial muscles trembled a few times, and he actually showed a peaceful and warm smile.

And this smile, in Ji Li's eyes, was so terrifying and treacherous.

I really love writing about Gu Xingjian, I think this is the only character that is more frightening than a ghost
