Chapter 33: Restaurant and Lurking
……
Song Liang shook his head and got up from the bed.
He looked at the time; it was already 1:30 PM.
On second thought, today is Sunday, which is the only day off for the third year of high school in a week. To put it bluntly, it can't even be counted as a day; it's actually only 6 hours.
Because at about 7 PM, the Sunday night liberal arts and science exams will start. Of course, the liberal arts and science exams mentioned here are not together.
The third year of high school has long been divided into streams. Liberal arts students and science students have the same exams, and these exams, at the earliest, probably won't end until 10:30 PM.
The most fatal thing is that during this process, it is even stricter than usual classes; the duty teacher will lock the teaching building door.
So Song Liang, who had been lying in the dormitory, looked at the time in a daze and prepared to get up and eat.
After all, his stomach was already growling.
Song Liang looked at the bed on the right.
He couldn't help but think at this moment.
"It's been almost a week, why hasn't Huaiyou come back? Is he sick or was he expelled by the school? Why is there no sound at all? He wouldn't have some terminal illness, would he?"
Song Liang started to imagine wildly in his heart.
"However, Zhou Yanqing also disappeared on the same day and asked for a few days off, but she came back after a few days. But I haven't seen Huaiyou. When others talk to her, she seems to ignore them. What the hell is going on?"
Just as he guessed and thought about these things.
Huaiyou and Zhou Yanqing, during those few days when the three girls went missing, that is, the day the school officially issued a statement not allowing day students to go home, the two of them just evaporated like humans that day.
Zhou Yanqing came back after a few days, but when she came back, she was like a different person, becoming silent, basically staying in the classroom all day, but disappearing when school was over.
As Huaiyou's best friend.
Song Liang certainly couldn't help but care about such things, whether out of curiosity or something else. Logically speaking, he would also care about such things to some extent.
However, whether asking the teacher or using various methods to figure out the matter.
The feedback received was more or less the same script.
"He has something to do at home, he should be here in a few days."
However, although the teacher and even the dean of students said so, Song Liang could keenly feel that when they said these things, their faces actually carried some confusion.
Of course, with Song Liang's current student status, he certainly couldn't figure out what the confusion and doubt expressed on their faces meant.
But in fact, most of the reasons, even the dean of students, only vaguely heard a little bit.
"The principal issued a notice that regarding that student's matter, all relevant personnel are not allowed to ask. If any student asks, the head teacher should say that the student asked for leave, and make up any reason..."
Anyway, when the principal said this, the expression on his face was full of the kind of severity that was rarely seen in normal times.
……
"Hey, forget it, don't think wildly about things you don't know, just eat a meal honestly, my stomach is almost flat from hunger."
Song Liang left the school gate soon.
At this moment, it was the time of day when the sun was strongest. Song Liang squinted his eyes and came to the commercial snack street opposite the school to eat something.
The things here are much better than the so-called school cafeteria, and the price is far lower than the cafeteria. If it weren't for the fact that you can't enter and exit the project at will in normal times, who would go to eat the school cafeteria with two leaves of vegetables for more than 10 yuan?
Not allowing takeout is one thing, but making it so unpalatable is simply a waste!
After coming to a small restaurant and ordering by scanning the code, only three or four minutes passed, and the beef tendon mixed noodles Song Liang ordered were already up.
After saying thank you, Song Liang put down his phone and began to focus on dealing with the noodles in front of him. He didn't have the habit of playing with his phone while eating.
His family education was quite strict, and this habit formed at home was naturally brought to the outside.
Of course, this is a small matter, and he is too lazy to change it.
However, just as Song Liang finished the noodles, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and greeted the boss, just about to get up and leave.
Suddenly.
The shop door, which should have been a factory, suddenly closed with a bang, making a huge sound. Song Liang was startled and subconsciously turned his head, but at the same time, he caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye.
It seemed that something had drilled past his feet and entered the room inside.
That was the direction of the kitchen.
Song Liang's expression changed suddenly, and he stood up hurriedly.
With a shocked face, he subconsciously said: "Holy crap..."
Because from that blurry angle just now, he seemed to see a green person, to be precise, a child twisting and crawling inside on the ground.
The speed was very fast.
But now that he came back to his senses, he found that there was nothing in that direction, and the surroundings didn't seem to have changed.
"What is it? Did I see it wrong?" Huaiyou was still in shock, but soon came back to his senses.
"Probably saw it wrong, hey, the wind is too strong, boss, you have to fix this door, it almost scared me to death, that bang sound."
Song Liang complained while picking up his phone and wanting to go out.
"Ah~!"
But the next moment, a scream from the middle-aged boss came from the back kitchen.
The voice was almost terrifying, carrying a thick sense of despair, or was it a terror close to death?
Song Liang shuddered instantly and turned his head to look there.
But he saw that it was pitch black there.
The light had been turned off at some point.
But you know, it's broad daylight right now.
And Song Liang clearly knew that the back kitchen there, in order to ensure sufficient light, and also to let students understand that the back kitchen standard here is clean and hygienic, so the lighting is actually very good.
This is also one of the reasons why Song Liang often comes here to eat; it is not only delicious but also clean and hygienic.
But now, there, it was pitch black, and he couldn't see the situation inside at all.
You know, this would never happen in normal times; even on a cloudy day, you could see the general situation inside!
But now, that place was covered by a pitch black, as if covered by a thick layer of black ink.
Song Liang hurriedly took a step to the left and touched the switch, wanting to turn on the light.
He didn't know what happened there, so he subconsciously thought that something happened to the boss, or the light was turned off, and then something happened?
But just as his hand reached out, he strangely found that no matter how he pressed it, the light here didn't change at all!
Even the lighting in the lobby in front of him had been turned off at some point!
The surrounding environment had long since become somewhat dim!
And just at this moment, he saw a pale face poking out from the thick darkness in the back kitchen, only revealing a head.
That face looked extremely pale, the eyes were two black holes, the lips were unnaturally white, and the face carried a gloomy smile. On the skin, there were gray-blue patches one after another.
Like corpse spots.
"What is it? Who! Who are you!" His heart jumped, he pulled his hand back fiercely, and looked at the human face revealed in the back kitchen with vigilance.
At this time, he saw that person, or to be precise, that head, strangely starting to fold in one direction.
A very strange angle, twisted 180 degrees forcefully!
Finally, while rotating, it was still floating upward!
That's right, it was floating upward! This feeling is like, actually this person only has a head!
Song Liang's face turned pale instantly, and he retreated while trembling, leaning against the door.
The heartbeat told him at this moment that everything in front of him was true.
However, the next second.
Before Song Liang could make any reaction.
He saw that the thing in front of him suddenly seemed to have disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The surroundings returned to calm again, and the rustling sound that appeared at the beginning was also gone.
"Damn... what, what was that?" Song Liang was shivering all over.
But the surroundings still looked a bit gloomy.
This time, Song Liang gathered his courage and turned on the light again. This time, the light turned on smoothly.
And under the light, this small restaurant was empty.
There was no floating human face.
Nor was there any strange child crawling past them.
But the next moment, his pupils shrank.
His neck turned back subconsciously, because at this moment, he clearly heard someone talking outside.
Just outside the glass door of this small restaurant.
The voice was the small restaurant boss's, although small, it was very clear.
You know, although Song Liang was focused when eating noodles, he didn't play with his phone. In fact, his biggest habit while eating was to observe the surrounding situation from time to time. What's more, when he was eating just now, he was sitting next to the door.
When he was almost finished, Song Liang looked back, and the boss was busy in the back kitchen; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to greet the boss later.
This means that it was impossible for the boss to run outside without him noticing.
Besides, it seemed that it had been empty outside for a long time.
However.
"Empty?"
Song Liang suddenly seemed to realize something at this moment, and turned his head back subconsciously again.
Originally, the boss said in a very small voice: "Save me... save me..."
His face was full of blood, his face was deformed, his mouth was wide open, and his eyes were protruding, one turned up, one turned down.
But just at the moment he saw it clearly.
The glass door was broken from the outside in.
In an instant, the smoke alarm and the bell in the small restaurant started at this moment, the sound was so noisy that it seemed to pierce Song Liang's eardrums instantly.
Beep!
