Chapter 10: Rose Bride (10) Article is a lie
Things went smoothly. After getting to know each other, she quickly got Yang Lili's information from the three girls.

They told Yan Jinyue that Yang Lili had excellent grades and was always at the top of her grade. She also had a good personality, was gentle and kind to others.

only--

"Just what?" Yan Jinyue asked curiously. You know, the key point is what comes after the turning point.

"The teacher is too partial to her. All activities and rewards go to her. Even if others are far better than her in that aspect, the opportunity is hers." said the girl with freckles.

"Yeah," another girl agreed, "We don't blame her, but it's unfair, and sometimes it's unavoidable..."

"I understand." Yan Jinyue showed an expression of understanding.

"But it's all right now. She's gone."

This sentence was said by the girl with freckles. Her tone was very light and Yan Jinyue keenly noticed that something was wrong.

"Gone? Where?"

The freckled girl was not on guard at all: "I transferred to another school. It happened just two days ago."

Yan Jinyue suddenly realized. No wonder their expressions were still normal when they talked about Yang Lili. It turned out that they didn't know that she was dead.

Yang Lili's death was deliberately concealed. It could only have been hidden by those ghost teachers in human skin in the teaching building.

The cause of death is also likely related to them.

In this case, the idea of ​​Task 2 is not wrong. By finding out the cause of Yang Lili's death, we can find the crime hidden behind the school and complete the task.

However, if they want to find the cause of death, they will inevitably have to go to the rooftop again.

But there is a terrible vampire rose on the rooftop, and they can't deal with it for the time being.

Qi Yunxiao said: "In the long run, we can first study and find loopholes in the student handbook."

Ever since she determined that the student handbook was a restriction to restrain ghosts, Yan Jinyue has become more daring, skipping classes whenever possible and constantly finding loopholes.

Anyway, this is skipping class, not being late.

As long as you are not caught in the teaching building during class time, there will basically be no problem.

As for other regulations, although she was joking when she told Qi Yunxiao that "breaking all the regulations" at that time, Yan Jinyue still had that urge in her heart.

If the first rule "no lateness" and the second rule "no noise" were violated, the teachers in the teaching building would break the ban and launch an attack, both of which were confirmed.

The third rule is "If something falls on the roof, please ignore it and remember that it is just your illusion." The thing refers to the corpse, and the ghost is the rose branch on the roof that sucks human blood.

As for the fourth rule, “Do not leave the dormitory after 10 o’clock in the evening and the dormitory door cannot be opened,” Yan Jinyue initially thought that this rule was a restriction on the dormitory managers, but the fifth rule, “If you hear a cry for help at night, ignore it, it’s just a movie recording. You can ask the dormitory managers for help if you encounter difficulties,” made her confused again.

If the dormitory manager is a ghost, why can we ask her for help?

But if the dormitory manager is not a ghost, then why is there a fourth rule? Who is the fourth rule to protect against?
Yan Jinyue told Qi Yunxiao about her doubts. Qi Yunxiao pondered for a while and said, "It might be a safe house."

"Safe house?"

Qi Yunxiao explained: "The safe house is a setting in some dungeons. It is absolutely safe to stay in a certain place at a certain time, but the dungeon will not clearly inform you, and it can only be discovered by the player himself."

Yan Jinyue thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed safe to stay in the dormitory at night. "If that's the case, then it can be further proved that this student handbook is a safety handbook?"

Qi Yunxiao nodded, "You can say that, but it's also... not necessarily true. We need further evidence."

Make bold guesses and be careful with your evidence.

Yan Jinyue had some thoughts in her mind, and after saying goodbye to Qi Yunxiao, she returned to the dormitory.

She looked at her watch and it was 9:50, so she went downstairs to see the dormitory manager on time.

The dormitory manager has a special small room located in the lobby on the first floor of the dormitory building. She usually sits behind the transparent window of the small room and looks outside, and only comes out occasionally.

The dormitory manager was a middle-aged woman with ordinary looks, a plump body, and wore half-worn clothes.

She had a low bun on her head and a big round face. Her eyes, which were not very big to begin with, were always squinted at people, making her look fierce and gloomy.

Yan Jinyue always thought that she was a human NPC who would turn into a ghost, but when she heard the setting of "safe house", she felt that it was not the case.

But when she came face to face with the dormitory manager, her eyes, the damp feeling like a snake crawling on her face, were exactly the same as that of the Chinese teacher.

"You said you wanted help?" The dormitory manager's voice sounded like a fishbone stuck in the throat, making people feel very uncomfortable.

"Yes." Yan Jinyue tried her best to remain calm, with a harmless smile on her face. "My faucet is broken. Can I ask a maintenance man to fix it?" She glanced at the time. It was nine fifty-eight.

"It's almost ten o'clock now. You can't come over until tomorrow."

The dormitory manager's answer was normal and within Yan Jinyue's expectations.

She thanked him politely, walked out of the small room, and closed the door. She did not go back the same way, but walked towards the main door, and the gaze behind her instantly became burning and greedy.

Nine fifty-nine forty-eight seconds.

The door of the small room opened and the dormitory manager came out.

Yan Jinyue also walked to the gate, just two steps away from taking a step out.

It's ten o'clock sharp.

"Ding ding ding--" the alarm rang, like a train whistle.

Hearing hurried footsteps behind him, Yan Jinyue quickly rushed out of the door, drew out his long sword and swung it backwards.

But she did not stab the dormitory manager, but was blocked by a hard object.

What blocked the knife was the big iron door of the dormitory.

The dormitory manager was stopped inside and banged on the door with a ferocious look on her face. Her hands turned into pitch-black claws. Her long nails reflected the dim light of the night. They were sharp and terrifying, just like the ghost in the teaching building.

The dormitory manager is indeed a ghost.

Article 4 is a constraint, and Article 5... is a lie.

The dormitory is not a safe house.

Although she didn't understand why there was a lie in the "Safety Manual", in the copy world, everything abnormal is normal.

Fortunately, she had tested the situation in advance, otherwise one night, if she had believed the safety manual and gone to the dormitory manager for help, the result would be predictable.

This one is a lie, but what about the others?
Yan Jinyue suddenly felt a chill in her heart, because of her previous carelessness.

She trusted her own judgment too much and was too conceited. What if the loophole she found was actually fake and was just a trick by the goblin to make her let down her guard...

She kept thinking and walking, and before she knew it, she arrived at the teaching building.

The teaching building at night is like a huge monster that cannot be taken in at a glance. The darkness blurs the sharp edges and corners. It lies dormant, patiently waiting for its prey to come to its door, ready to strike at any time.

She looked up at the top floor and thought of the seventh rule: "Please do not go to the top floor of the teaching building. You will be responsible for the consequences!!!"

Yan Jinyue originally didn't care much about this, because the ghost it pointed to was Shen Wu, and Shen Wu would not hurt her and was just a decoration to her.

But now think about it, if you compare the ghosts in the teaching building, the dormitory manager and Shen Wu, they are actually very different.

The teacher and the dormitory manager are both ghosts in human NPC shells, subject to restrictions, but Shen Wu is different, he is a ghost.

And the same goes for the female ghost in white who wanted to eat her.

So, what is the relationship between ghosts in human shells and ghosts that are ghosts themselves?

Yan Jinyue decided to find Shen Wu to find out the truth.

But when she climbed to the top floor, she couldn't find him at all. And for some reason, the floor was full of water, which was very deep and reached her ankles. Yan Jinyue's shoes and socks were soaked and she felt very uncomfortable.

"Shen Wu? Shen Wu?" She shouted loudly, but got no response.

She waded through the water and came to the end of the corridor, only to find that there was a recessed corner here. Because it was a blind spot, she had not noticed it before.

There was a green-painted iron door at the corner, tightly closed.

Yan Jinyue was actually a little scared to open it. Her heart almost jumped out of her throat and she kept swallowing.

But when she walked to the door, the petals on her forehead began to feel hot again, but this time it was not accompanied by pain, but a comfortable warm current spreading from her forehead to her limbs.

A voice in my heart urged: Open it, open it quickly, quickly...

Finally, she put her hand on the door handle and pulled hard.
