Bathed in the eyes of the classmates, Xiao Lan felt a little novel.

He has always existed as an academic bully or even an academic god in school. Although he was often noticed by his classmates in the past, at that time, the eyes of his classmates were all admiration or jealousy.

I didn't expect to experience the treatment of rebellious academic scumbags now.

At this time, the students looked at him with curiosity mixed with a bit of envy, as if human beings are born to pay attention to rebels and have some vague expectation.

Not to mention, being a bad student occasionally is... pretty cool.

Just like that, Xiao Lan followed Luo to his office again.

This is like a secret base for two people, Xiao Lan is already very familiar with this place. He casually leaned on the edge of the table, and there was a lesson plan on the table, with Luo's clear handwriting on it. It seemed that Luo was more responsible as a teacher than he was as a student.

"Is there anything to gain? Sir." Luo closed the door and turned to ask Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan told him what he saw in the principal's office, especially describing Mr. Weld's situation and the contents recorded in the principal's handbook.

"Curse puppet, this is an interesting thing." Luo sat on the chair. "We had a close contact with Mr. Weld before, but we didn't realize that he was not alive."

Xiao Lan: "Now I plan to wait until it gets dark and go to the North Tower again. This time I must see Adeline."

Although it was dark, there would be danger to Mrs. Hongyue, but if it was not dark, there would still be quite a lot of students in the school. Adolescents also liked to drill in places where no one was there, and it was easy to reveal their traces on the way to the tower.

Now they are two people acting together, even if they meet Mrs. Hongyue, they are sure to retreat.

"I'll go with you." Luo said with a smile. "But it's still a while before it gets dark. Do you want to pass the time?"

Xiao Lan was a little curious: "What do you want to do?"

Do the two really have to clean up here?

You don't need to fight like that, do you?

I saw Luo reached out and took out a book that was very familiar to Xiao Lan from the row of books on the table——

The archaeological record from which Xiao Lan chose the word "Luo" to name him.

Luo gestured to Xiao Lan for the book in his hand: "I borrowed this book from Lawrence. It's rare to come here. Do you want to read it together?"

Xiao Lan: "..."

To be honest, he was still a little guilty about the Luoyang shovel incident.

The young Xiao Lan back then was really courageous and wild. If the person in front of him was a bad tempered person, he would have been cold since he was fifteen years old.

Unexpectedly, Luo really accepted the name.

Even after forgetting everything about him, he still remembers it.

Luo has already opened the book in a good mood, and his reading attitude is very leisurely, as if the content inside is very interesting.

The evening sunlight poured in from the window, shining on his perfectly contoured face, which was not like a mortal, and outlined a beautiful golden light. Even the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of the nose shone with warm and soft light in the setting sun.

Seeing this, Xiao Lan couldn't help but lean over and watch with him.

The content of the book is actually quite boring. It is full of professional records and analysis, mixed with a lot of awkward professional terms.

But the two reading the book didn't say much. They looked at the words on the book with a faint nostalgia in their eyes.

The room was silent except for the slight sound of flipping books.

One reads the book leisurely, and the other watches silently, as if there is some kind of indescribable tacit understanding.

After a while, it finally got dark.

The pale red moonlight once again enveloped the entire academy.

Luo's slender fingers turning over the book stopped.

He looked up at the red moon outside the window and said softly, "Sir, the time has come."

Xiao Lan also raised his head, with a bright light in his eyes: "Let's go."

The two stood up and stepped into the red field bathed in danger.

——

Carefully hiding their whereabouts, the two came to the north tower again.

Today the tower is still the same deserted look.

Xiao Lan listened carefully to the movement inside, but strangely, he did not hear the sound of scales rubbing against the ground today, nor did he hear a murmur similar to a child's voice.

Everything was very quiet, as quiet as if there was nothing in it.

The two found the gate under the tower.

Unsurprisingly, the door was locked by a heavy, large lock.

Unlike the desolation of the entire tower, there was not much rust on this lock. Even Xiao Lan felt the smoothness of the lock cylinder when he opened the lock, as if the lock was often opened by others.

Enter the tower.

A damp and musty smell came, and water stains and moss appeared on the surrounding walls.

The entire tower is very empty. Although the building still has a gorgeous gothic feel, there is almost no furniture inside, exuding an empty and dilapidated taste.

Xiao Lan turned on the [Nuclear Flashlight] to observe the surroundings.

There are two stairs ahead, and the higher you go, the drier the surrounding environment becomes.

On the stairs that go down, the dampness is very heavy, and there is more moss around than other places, as if there is some water source below.

"Sir." Luo pointed to the ground with a lot of moss under the two of them. "There are traces of being stepped on repeatedly. They all went down and then returned. There should be people who often walk down from here."

Xiao Lan followed Luo's guidance and saw that there were indeed many footprints on the ground, but most of them were covered by the rapid growth of moss.

It seems that the rumored monster in the tower is not only not two snakes, but it may not live inside the tower.

Campus legends are indeed full of uncertainty.

The two walked down the dark and damp stairs. The more they walked, the heavier the water vapor in the air was, and the tip of their nose gradually smelled the smell of water with a fishy smell.

The sound of dripping and flowing water is occasionally heard.

After walking for a while, we finally reached the end of the stairs.

But the strange thing is that this is just an empty space, it seems that there is nothing, but it is filled with water vapor from nowhere.

"Is there still a mechanism?" Xiao Lan speculated.

The water vapor here is so dense that it is almost by the river, but there is no water source in sight, which is very strange.

"Leave it to me." Luo pointed his finger on the wall, and instantly, the dark shadow spread out, searching the whole room.

Quickly, he withdrew his hand and walked to a corner of the room that looked indistinguishable from the surrounding masonry.

He stretched out his hand, aimed hard at the edge of the masonry and pressed it down. Following his movements, the whole masonry spun, revealing a stone switch behind it.

Luo turned the switch, and in the next instant, a downward passage appeared on the originally empty ground.

This efficiency made Xiao Lan couldn't help but give him a compliment: "Every time I see you looking for clues, it feels amazing."

Luo just smiled: "My pleasure."

Then, the two entered this newly emerged passage.

The passage is narrow and cramped, and can only accommodate one person to pass through. The surface is still slippery, making it difficult to walk. Moreover, the passage is very long, as if going all the way to hell.

After walking for a while, the two came to the open area again.

This is a huge and empty space, surrounded by stone walls, with a layer of water standing on the ground, with almost no decoration inside, and it looks eerie.

It turned out that it was hidden so deeply here.

No wonder I could only hear a faint sound outside before, maybe it was because the monsters imprisoned inside happened to be moving closer to the stairs. If it was further away, there would be no sound at all outside.

Xiao Lan's flashlight was looking for clues on the wall.

Suddenly, on a high place on the wall, he saw some graffiti. The graffiti was immature, like the work of a child.

But even an ordinary adult couldn't reach this height. Xiao Lan's eyes swept around, but he didn't see any tools for climbing.

How are these graffiti drawn?

Putting aside his doubts for a while, he looked at the graffiti.

The level is much better than Luo, at least it can be seen that it is human.

On the far left is a woman in red.

The child's brushstrokes cannot express the details of the clothes, only a long and fluffy skirt and a large lump on his head seem to express the blackness of his hair.

The woman was surrounded by red, and the picture looked very strange.

On the other side, a figure lay not far from the woman.

Judging from his clothes, he was a male, with slightly long flaxen hair and a large blob of red on his chest, which symbolized that the person had been seriously injured or even died.

Next to it is the childish handwriting:

【Mom is crazy...】

【Mom is so scary】

Xiao Lan gestured to the woman on the left with a flashlight: "Does this look like Madam Hongyue?"

He moved the flashing light to the side again: "This is very similar to Mr. Weld. I saw a wound on his chest at a similar position."

"So these graffiti are trying to say that it was Mrs. Red Moon who killed Mr. Weld." Luo said.

Xiao Lan said: "Mrs. Hongyue is actually Mrs. Weld, but for some reason, she doesn't know about it, and she doesn't even remember killing her husband."

"If that's the case, how did Adeline die?" Xiao Lan looked at the graffiti on the wall and couldn't help frowning, "Could it be that she was also killed by the principal who turned into Mrs. Hongyue?"

Luo knew that Xiao Lan was just thinking, not seeking his answer. He stood there, quietly watching Xiao Lan's every move, as if he didn't want to ignore every detail.

Xiao Lan thought of the principal who recorded her struggles in the handwritten notes. If Mrs. Weld knew that the source of all her grief and pain was herself, she did not know how she would feel.

But... who drew these?

The resurrected Adeline?

If it was Adeline, what size would she be now?

In addition, whether it was rumors or the principal's handbook, it was said that she would attack people.

I feel bad.

Xiao Lan said softly, "It seems that we still have to find Adeline."

He looked around.

When his flashlight swept around, he didn't see any trace of the two-tailed snake woman.

The two walked forward, and a hole filled with water appeared in front of them.

The burrow is large enough to accommodate several adults without a problem.

But the cave was pitch black, and the flashlight couldn't shine through, making it impossible to guess where it led.

Xiao Lan retracted the flashlight: "It looks like whoever gets in will die..."

Although the player's body has been strengthened and the vitality is tenacious, it does not mean that they can survive in the water.

This kind of dark waterway, who knows where it will lead, how long it will be, and there may even be unknown dangers hidden in it.

In case of encountering a battle, but it is too late to breathe, then you can die peacefully.

Lo said, "Do you need me to find the way, sir?"

As a non-human who does not need to breathe, he is competent for such a job.

Although this water quality looks a bit apologetic, if Xiao Lan has hope, he will not have any psychological obstacles at all.

Xiao Lan shook his head: "It's still unknown what's in the water."

He couldn't let Luo face these dangers alone, and then enjoy the other party's efforts with peace of mind.

He stepped forward and lightly dipped a little water on the tip of his nose and sniffed: "This smell is very similar to the water stains that appear on the ceiling every morning."

Then, it should be Adeline who left a reminder to the player.

Where is she going now?

At this time, Luo pointed to the algae on the water surface and said, "This kind of algae, according to the teachers of the school, is a very special species that grows in the lake in the college forest."

Xiao Lan turned her head and asked, "Is there a lake in the forest?"

Luo smiled: "As a teacher, you can naturally know a little more."

"According to the teachers, there seems to be a lot of carnivorous wild animals in the forest outside the academy. There was an unbelieving teacher who was attacked when he went for a walk at night, and he resigned not long after he escaped."

"According to the teacher's description, there is a large lake in the forest, and this algae has also been touched on his body."

Xiao Lan: "..."

What a people teacher full of exploratory spirit.

For a while, he didn't know whether to sigh that the teacher was so big-hearted that he dared to go for a walk in such a dark forest, or that he should sigh that the life of a tough-headed person was so hard.

To be able to survive like this, this teacher is also very powerful.
