Chapter 22 Dormitory Building

"Clap, clap, clap."

It seems that it rained in this school recently. The sky is covered with dark clouds and there is water on the ground.

Zhou Xiaochuan was walking in the campus with the dean of studies. Although nothing strange was happening around them, Zhou Xiaochuan still had a strange feeling in his heart.

It was only half past nine, and there was no one to be seen in the school. The campus was still pitch black, without even a street light.

Zhou Xiaochuan looked up at the campus. The visibility inside was almost zero. He could not see anything when walking inside the school.

What's more, there isn't even a single light in the teaching buildings and dormitories here.

Don’t people here light lamps?
Just as Zhou Xiaochuan was thinking, the dean suddenly became very panicked and pressed Zhou Xiaochuan's head down.

"Don't look up on the next section of the road! No matter what you hear, don't look up. Especially don't look at the teaching building. Please stay rational, everything is normal."

The Dean's tone at first was panicked and urgent, but after he said "especially don't look at the teaching building", his voice regained its rationality.

This is an extreme rationality, as if it is free of any emotional color.

When Zhou Xiaochuan heard his words, he immediately thought of the previous rule!

"Fifth, please do not enter any teaching buildings at night."

Could it be that he walked near the teaching building?
Zhou Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately denied this guess.

Because when I entered the school gate before, there were teaching buildings right opposite the school gate!
On the left side of the school gate is the library, and on the right side of the school gate, behind the security room, is a teaching building.

Although the rules stated that one should not look at any signs on the teaching building at night, given the visibility at night in this place, he had no way of seeing anything on the teaching building.

He could only rely on the dim light from the director's flashlight to see the road in front of him and the general outlines of the surrounding buildings.

Now Zhou Xiaochuan could only follow the guidance of the dean and move forward.

But after a while, he heard bursts of mumbling sounds in his ears.

The mumbling voice was unclear, but Zhou Xiaochuan could barely make out what he was saying.

"Hahahahahaha, you've already escaped, why are you coming back? Do you think you can still get out?"

"This school doesn't exist! Hahahahahahahaha, but I really exist!"

"Pony... Angry Pony, can your fist still break my nose? I really want to show you what this school looks like now..."

This strange and eerie voice sounded all the way, and Zhou Xiaochuan could only recognize these five sentences from his unclear pronunciation.

On the road, Zhou Xiaochuan saw animal feet on the road several times.

There were cats and dogs, which was normal. There were always some stray cats and dogs in the school, and some students would violate school rules and secretly raise a few cats and dogs in the dormitory. However, there were a few times when he saw bird claws!
And... a six-legged horse hoof.

This is really weird. First of all, how could a bird land so close to a person? Secondly, how could there be a horse in the school? And a horse with six hooves?

Zhou Xiaochuan looked a little dazed. He vaguely remembered that the vague voice just mentioned "Angry Pony" in his ear.

But "Angry Pony" should be a person's name anyway. How could it really be a horse?
And the message "escaped", is it hinting at his identity?
There is something weird in this school, and I have escaped from the weird world, but ran back again?

Zhou Xiaochuan was a little confused, and at this moment, the director suddenly stopped.

"We have arrived at your dormitory building, Dormitory Building No. 603, Room on the sixth floor. Please remember that there is no Dormitory Building No. in the school. There are only six floors in the dormitory building. If you find the non-existent Dormitory Building No. , or the dormitory building on the seventh floor, you can contact me by mobile phone."

The director's voice was extremely mechanical and calm, completely different from the amiable director Zhou Xiaochuan had met before.

However, after saying this, the director left, and Zhou Xiaochuan had no choice but to enter the dormitory building.

The moment he entered the dormitory building, it suddenly started to rain heavily outside. The director's thin figure seemed slightly small in the heavy rain.

Zhou Xiaochuan originally wanted to ask the director if he wanted to come to the dormitory building to shelter from the rain, but the next moment the director disappeared into the dark night.

In the last second when he could see the director, Zhou Xiaochuan seemed to vaguely see that the director's feet had turned into bird claws!
However, the bird claws only appeared in a flash, and Zhou Xiaochuan didn't know if he was dazzled.

He secretly took note of all this in his heart.

He still remembered that during the time when the director asked him to lower his head, he saw bird claws!
Moreover, the bird's claws seemed to be very large and tall, as if they were not growing on a bird's body but on a human's body.

A cold sweat broke out in his heart, and then he looked around everything here.

This dormitory building is a bit shabby. Except for the lights on the first floor, the stairs are completely dark!
At the door of the dormitory building, an old man wearing dark clothes and waving a fan was staring at Zhou Xiaochuan with an unhappy expression.

"Which building and dormitory are you from? It's already 21:50 and all the lights in the dormitory will be turned off in ten minutes. Why are you back just now?"

Zhou Xiaochuan looked a little embarrassed: "Um... Mr. Dormitory Manager, the director wanted to talk to me about something, so I was delayed for some time, so I came back late..."

"Director? Are you talking about Director Xu Yingchun?"

In response to the dormitory manager's question, Zhou Xiaochuan nodded.

The dormitory manager let out a long sigh as if relieved from a heavy burden.

"I understand. Go back to your dormitory immediately. You are Zhou Xiaochuan from Room 603, right? Remember, you must not leave your dormitory after 22:00 at night.

Here is a piece of advice for you. Change the lock on your room door during the day tomorrow. Don’t use the school door lock.”

Zhou Xiaochuan secretly took note of the dormitory manager's words and his expression when he spoke, and then hurried upstairs.
