Chapter 10 Following

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng's eyes suddenly changed.

"Followed us all the way..." These words immediately made Jiang Cheng think of the puddle of water. The thing that left the water stains had followed them all the way from their dormitory.

It seemed that besides himself, this man named Wang Qi had also noticed it.

But it seemed that apart from himself and Wang Qi, the others hadn't realized this. Gao Yan questioned Wen Liangshan: "Which direction did Wang Qi go?"

Wen Liangshan immediately pointed to one side, "Anyway, the last time I saw him, he was walking in that direction."

Following the direction Wen Liangshan pointed, Wang Qi should have gone around to the front door of the activity center.

But Jiang Cheng believed that he definitely wouldn't dare to enter the activity center alone. He should have gone somewhere nearby, and around there were rows of neat buildings.

They were the dormitory buildings for the students of Jiangtan University, which they had seen when they came.

"What did you find inside?" Wen Liangshan was very good at observing people. Seeing that the faces of the people who came out were not right, he knew that something must have happened inside.

Neither Gao Yan nor Jiang Cheng paid any attention to him. Only Shen Mengyun paused and said perfunctorily, "Now is not the time to talk about this, finding people is the priority."

Hearing that they were still going to look for Wang Qi, Huai Yi couldn't help but say, "If you ask me, we should just ignore him. A person like him can't help at all."

"Brother Huai Yi is right, he will only bring us danger." After thinking for a while, Fatty said, "And trouble."

They had been out for quite a while. If they delayed any longer, everyone was worried that returning to the dormitory would alarm the old gatekeeper.

After all, the old man had poor sleep quality, going to bed early and waking up early. Jiang Cheng had once encountered a client who went to bed before 8 o'clock every night and got up at 4 o'clock in the morning on the dot to have breakfast.

Jiang Cheng also leaned towards abandoning him. Looking for someone on campus in the middle of the night? It was more like looking for a ghost.

And most importantly, Jiang Cheng was worried that the thing that had been following them from the dormitory was still staring at them not far away, and would follow them back to the dormitory.

After hesitating, Shen Mengyun finally spoke, "How about this, let's go around to the front door and take a look. If Wang Qi is nearby, we'll find him and go back together. If he's not, we won't specifically look for him, how's that?"

"Okay."

This suggestion was more fair.

The group came to the front door of the activity center. Wen Liangshan looked around, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, causing him to instinctively shrink back, pulling his neck back into his clothes and saying in a muffled voice, "Wang Qi isn't here, could he have gone back already?"

Gao Yan glanced at him, and Wen Liangshan avoided his gaze guiltily.

Everyone knew that this place was far from the dormitory. It would take a long detour to get back. As long as Wang Qi wasn't stupid, he would never walk back alone in the dark without saying a word.

Wen Liangshan was just saying that because he was scared and wanted to go back early.

As for Wang Qi's life or death, he didn't care.

The Jiangtan University at night felt like a pool of stagnant water, with no sense of living people at all.

Even the student dormitories not far away only had a few lights on in an orderly manner, but for so long, they hadn't heard any sound.

This could no longer be explained by abnormality.

"Could it be that everyone in this school... is a ghost?" Fatty muttered in a low voice.

Hearing Fatty's words, the timid Wen Liangshan and Shi Xiaoya both showed fearful expressions, and even Shen Mengyun frowned slightly.

"Don't talk nonsense." Gao Yan said in a dissatisfied tone, "How could everyone in a school be ghosts? How would we complete the mission then? We might as well just wait to die."

Feeling guilty, Fatty drooped his big head and stopped talking.

"This place is not suitable to stay for long, let's go back first." Perhaps Fatty's words had influenced Gao Yan, because in less than half a minute, he suggested leaving.

This time no one had any objections.

But just as everyone had walked less than 30 meters, a light footstep sounded behind them. Shen Mengyun's shoulders trembled, and her first reaction was that the thing in the activity room had chased them out.

But fortunately, it wasn't. What appeared behind them was Wang Qi's annoying face.

Before everyone could question him, Wang Qi narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile, "So you were here. I wasted my time looking for you guys for so long?"

"You were looking for us?" Huai Yi asked aggressively.

"Yes, I even went to the back window to look for you just now, but found you weren't there, so I went around here, and I didn't expect to see you just as you were about to go back," Wang Qi said naturally with his hands in his pockets.

"If we're not going back, what else would we be doing?" Fatty said angrily, "Waiting to attend your funeral feast!"

Shen Mengyun's face was slightly cold, and she interrupted, "Alright, stop arguing!" She looked at Wang Qi again, her eyes full of scrutiny, "I'm asking you, where did you go?"

Wang Qi slowly stretched out his hand and pointed to the student dormitory building on the side, "I was bored, so I went for a stroll and took care of some personal matters."

Wen Liangshan turned his head to look at the lifeless student dormitory building, his voice tense, "You really went into the dormitory building?"

"No, I just strolled around nearby, but speaking of which, these dormitory buildings are quite strange." Wang Qi stopped here, his eyes filled with playfulness as he looked at everyone, as if he was sure that everyone would continue to ask.

But unexpectedly...

"It's good that you're not dead." Jiang Cheng turned around and said in an indifferent tone, "Let's all disperse, we're going back."

Fatty and Huai Yi followed Jiang Cheng away without any suspense. Shen Mengyun and Gao Yan thought for a moment and also left.

Wen Liangshan and Shi Xiaoya, who had their curiosity piqued, originally wanted to listen, but seeing this scene, they immediately chased after the main group.

Wang Qi was neither angry nor annoyed, hanging behind the group alone, still with that unclear and unexplainable carefree look.

After returning to the dormitory, Fatty immediately locked the door and asked curiously, "Doctor, why didn't you let Wang Qi finish what he was saying?"

Although they might not go to the student dormitory, knowing more about the situation inside the school, especially Jiangtan University after midnight, would be very helpful for their next actions.

Jiang Cheng picked up the kettle on the ground, shook it, and poured himself a glass of water, "There's no use asking him, anyway, what he says is a lie."

"Brother Jiang, this Wang Qi definitely has a problem, but as for whether he's the ghost you guessed..." Huai Yi thought for a moment and said cautiously, "I think it remains to be seen."

Jiang Cheng held the glass in one hand, slowly drinking the warm water, "You're right, this Wang Qi is not simple, I think he didn't go to the student dormitory building at all just now."

"Then where did he go?" Fatty asked, Wang Qi left alone not long after Jiang Cheng and the others went inside.

Jiang Cheng exhaled, turned his head to look at Fatty, "Like us, he also entered the activity center, except we went through the back window, and he went around to the front door."

Fatty and Huai Yi were stunned.
