Chapter 382: Chapter 382 - 382: The Sound of the Laboratory

Translator: Zayn_

To interrupt their conversation, Yu Muhuai suggested, “Since we still have no clue about the ghost stories here, why don’t we go to the laboratory first?”

As for the red maple tree, Yu Muhuai looked up and secretly decided to find a time to come over and investigate alone.

The group of five walked towards the sealed biochemical laboratory.

On the way, Zhao Yingnan suddenly remembered the situation that they encountered at the beginning. She couldn’t help but ask Yu Muhuai, “Earlier, we asked you why you went to the laboratory building… You haven’t finished yet.”

“It’s nothing.” Yu Muhuai waved his hand. “1 only took a look in the hall. The building is quite old. There are marks all over the walls. It should have been abandoned long ago.”

Even if he had discovered something, it was not convenient for him to tell them.

Zhao Yingnan nodded and did not ask any more questions.

Fortunately, their journey went smoothly this time. They arrived at the floor where the laboratory was located in a short while.

As expected, Shu Ling and Xu Xing Zhou were also there.

“Have the two of you been here all this time?” Jiang Xuyan’s eyes were filled with doubt.

Shu Ling didn’t think too much about it. “I’ve always been here. I just came to Xingzhou,” she replied.

Xu Xingzhou: “The warden said that I was the last one to come out. 1 wanted to ask you guys to come out together, but I didn’t see anyone after walking around the dormitory building. After 1 came out, I went to the security room. 1 didn’t see the key, so I came straight here.”

In that case, Shu Ling was still more suspicious?

After all, Xu Xingzhou was not the last one to leave the dormitory. He would know if he asked the dormitory manager. There was no need for him to lie.

Jiang Xuyan turned around and looked at Song Qingyou, thinking something was wrong.

He took out the key. “The key is in my hand.”

As he spoke, she opened the laboratory door.

Jiang Xuyan pressed the light switch.

Half of the room lit up with a strange green light, and the other half was hidden in the night.

The few people who were frightened almost cried out.

Only Song Qingyou and Yu Muhuai remained calm.

This laboratory was very large. There was a podium in front, two rows of shelves behind it, and a cabinet. There were also many experimental operation tables in the middle.

There was an empty wine bottle on the podium.

There were only two fish tanks left on the shelf.

The cabinet door was tightly shut. The gap between the two doors was like a pair of pitch-black eyes.

The control panel was empty.

Just as the few of them finally calmed down and stepped into the laboratory, a strange creaking sound entered their ears.

The group of people immediately fell silent.

If it wasn’t for Song Qingyou blocking them from the back, someone would definitely have run away.

However, the green light inside was still flashing a few times at this moment. The sound of electric currents made people feel uneasy.

The atmosphere was filled with terror.

Zhao Yingnan grabbed the corner of Shu Ling’s clothes. Her lips were bitten, but she couldn’t help but say,

“W-why don’t we come back during the day…”

Her voice was trembling and she sounded like she was crying.

Shu Ling gulped. “Don’t, don’t be afraid. It’s all fake.”

Yu Muhuai: “That’s right, it’s fake. Besides, we might not be able to find anything during the day. There’s no such sound during the day.”

Jiang Xuyan, who was leading the way, gave way. “Why don’t you go in first, Xiao Yu?”

Yu Muhuai smiled warmly at them. “You guys just follow behind me. I’m not afraid of this.”

Before he could finish his sentence, Jiang Xu Yan grabbed the corner of his shirt.” There are so many of us. We really don’t have to be afraid. Let’s go!”

If one ignored his actions, Jiang Xu Yan seemed to have quite the courage.

At this moment, the creaking sound finally stopped.

Yu Muhuai wanted to go to the place where the voice came from, but Jiang Xuyan and Shu Ling grabbed his clothes. He could only walk to the podium first.

“This wine bottle should be the evidence of the poisoning case.”

Tang Zinian’s attention was diverted.” Isn’t this bottle just an ordinary glass bottle? Then why are the two students who drank fine?”

Initially, they had thought that among the three people who had drunk, only their teacher had been poisoned. That meant that there must be some sort of” mechanism ” on the bottle.

For example, a bottle that could hold two liquids.

In the end, what was placed on the podium was clearly an ordinary red wine bottle. There was nothing unusual about it.

The group of people looked at each other, momentarily forgetting about the creaking noise just now.

“We might have to think about it ourselves.”

Yu Muhuai said,” My suggestion is that the wine bottle should be taken to the activity room as one of the pieces of evidence. Also, we shouldn’t say our personal guesses to avoid ‘danger.’”

“It’s not a problem to put the bottle in the activity room.” Jiang Xuyan said, “But 1 don’t think it’s possible if 1 don’t tell you my personal guess.”

“Because it’s better to brainstorm at this time. If our reasoning is wrong, won’t we be wiped out?”

Yu Muhuai was silent for two seconds. “What do you think?” he asked the others.

Tang Zinian: “1 agree with what Teacher Jiang said. This bottle looks very ordinary. There’s no space for any traps. It’s too difficult for me to deduce the modus operand!.”

“I think so too.” Zhao Yingnan nodded.

“+i.”

Xu Xingzhou nodded slightly.

Song Qingyou was much more casual. “I’m fine with anything.”

“Then I’ll leave this in my dormitory tonight.” Yu Muhuai picked up the bottle of wine impolitely. “I’ll bring it to the activity room tomorrow.”

With so many pairs of eyes watching, Yu Muhuai would become the target of public criticism if anything happened to the bottle.

The others naturally had no objections.

Then, their focus fell on the back of the laboratory, on the creaking sound in the dark corner.

The sparkling green light was strange and cold, making people flinch.

Zhao Yingnan and Shu Ling hugged each other. Tang Zinian and Jiang Xuyan didn’t want to be the first to attack.

Song Qingyou’s mouth twitched as she gestured to the cameraman behind her.

A white light hit the shelf area behind him.

After everyone got used to it, they could see the specific arrangements behind it.

In the middle of the two shelves, there was a large object covered by a white cloth.

“What’s that?” Shu Ling said.

“We’ll know when we go and take a look.”

Song Qingyou strode over and reached out to grab the white cloth.

“Don’t-”

Shu Ling didn’t have time to stop him.

Zhao Yingnan immediately covered her eyes.

The white cloth was torn off, revealing a lifelike human model underneath.

The muscle tissue that was restored was as red as blood.

Under the light of the flashlight, the pupils of the two eyes on the model glowed like the eyes of a living person.

It was as if he was staring at everyone.

The laboratory was silent.

Zhao Yingnan thought that it was fine, so she carefully opened her eyes, which happened to meet the eyes of the mannequin!

“Aaahhhh!”

The female soprano who had broken through her potential almost deafened the people around her, and they didn’t think of stopping her.

When they came back to their senses, they heard footsteps coming from outside.

“Who’s in the laboratory?!”

The security guard’s sudden voice stunned everyone for a few seconds.

Jiang Xuyan shivered.

“Run!”

Song Qingyou reminded him and ran out. The camera didn’t even have time to react.

Tang Zinian quickly grabbed Zhao Yingnan’s arm and pulled her away..
