Chapter 248: Talent—All-Seeing Map!

~8 min read 1,425 words

Male Dormitory Building 1.

"Clang, clang!"

A crisp knocking sound rang out, making the student who had just closed his eyes tremble violently.

"Where did Bed 6 go? Is he in the dorm?" The dorm manager's eyes were like torches, asking in a deep voice.

Seeing no one answer, the old man clapped the window hard again and shouted: "Where is the dorm head? Where is he?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ruan Ziliang's heart skipped a beat. He slowly pulled down his summer quilt and said in a soft voice: "He's in the restroom..."

"Open the door!" The old man didn't buy this at all and wanted to come in and find out.

Ruan Ziliang wanted to die, cursing Su Yang in his heart for not being there and still having to cover for him.

So he had to open the door reluctantly.

"Bang!"

The old man walked straight in, his originally hunched figure suddenly standing tall.

Only to see him stride toward the restroom, his vigorous steps hard to imagine for someone over seventy years old.

The other students quietly pulled open their quilts and aimed toward the restroom.

The old man walked into the bathroom and shower room, questioning: "Where is the person?"

Seeing the other party playing hardball, Ruan Ziliang had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply: "He didn't come back..."

"Not returning to the dorm during the noon break, did he ask the teacher for leave?" The old man asked in a deep voice.

Before Ruan Ziliang could speak, the old man reached out his hand: "Bring me the leave note."

"None..."

Hearing this, the old man took out a record book and wrote down the dormitory number and bed number on it.

He then glanced at the name engraved on the side of the bed—

Su Yuan.

After finishing everything, the old man walked out of the dormitory and closed the door.

The sound of the door closing made the few hearts shake, and they started to imagine Su Yang's miserable end.

"Not returning to the dorm at noon shouldn't be a big deal, right?" One asked weakly.

"Luoshui Middle School is extremely strict in this regard, giving severe punishments to students who don't sleep at the set time."

"Ah? Then what to do?"

Ruan Ziliang smiled bitterly, "What else can we do? Leave it to fate."

Everyone fell into silence suddenly and silently pulled up their quilts.

Although they didn't have a deep friendship with Su Yang, they were in the same dormitory after all.

Thinking of the serious consequences he might face, sympathy and worry couldn't help but arise in their hearts.

Ruan Ziliang lay on the bed, recalling Su Yang's strange performance over the past two days.

He felt the other party was very mysterious, and his words and actions didn't match.

His whole body was filled with contradictions, not on the same layer as other classmates.

The most intuitive proof was the ghost story—

When Ruan Ziliang first brought up this point, Su Yang's face was full of skepticism.

But not long after, he was not only interested but also wanted to know more.

It gave people the feeling... as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

And him sneaking into the dormitory in the middle of the night last night.

He said he ran out to surf the internet, but Ruan Ziliang felt there was something fishy about it.

It was strange and indescribable.

Classmate Gao Chang was the same, creating a lot of sensation in one day.

Yet he suspended his studies inexplicably.

Ruan Ziliang hadn't had time to thank him properly for helping him stand up for himself.

Perhaps out of sensitivity to unknown things, he always felt there was an inextricable connection between Su Yang not returning in the middle of the night and Gao Chang suspending his studies.

"Forget it, what does his life or death have to do with me?"

Ruan Ziliang turned over and fell into a deep sleep before long...

Twenty minutes passed, and the patrol work ended.

The old man returned to the dorm manager's room and threw the record book on the table.

He then lay on the chair, closing his eyes in meditation.

The wrinkled face showed a bit of impatience.

After a while, he opened his eyes, and a flash of light passed through his turbid pupils.

The next moment, an electronic map appeared in front of him.

The map showed four red dots and nine blue dots.

Although these points didn't show names, he could still guess the identity from the general orientation.

"Hmm?"

The old man straightened his body and stared straight at the two blue dots moving toward the east side of the school.

"Not in the auditorium..."

Seeing this, he immediately picked up the landline beside him, pondered for a moment, and dialed a phone call.

After a while, the call was connected.

"Hello?"

A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Director Dong, it's me, Ji Qiushi... Yes, yes, I found that classmate Su Yuan from Class 3 of Grade 1 was not in the dorm during the check."

"Wanted to ask if you know the specific situation?"

"Hehe... Sorry for the trouble."

After speaking, he hung up the phone, and the smile disappeared suddenly.

He then spread his two fingers and zoomed in on the map of the east side of the school.

Looking at the movement trajectory of the two blue dots, a few suspicions flashed in his eyes.

"Infirmary?"

At the same time, the east side of Luoshui Middle School.

The asphalt road exposed to the scorching sun emitted a pungent smell.

Beside the steps, water droplets fell on the scorching stone bricks, evaporating in an instant, leaving only a shallow water mark.

"Phew..." Su Yang drank two mouthfuls of water in succession and looked at the sky with a frown.

"The outdoors at noon is really not a place for humans."

He then looked at Qin Weiyang in his arms, raised his hand to block the sun above her eyebrows.

Very soon, he saw her tightly furrowed eyebrows gradually relax.

She was sleeping exceptionally peacefully.

Su Yang brushed the fine hair on her bangs behind her ears and said softly: "For the sake of a sufficient reason, I'm sorry..."

After speaking, he took out his folding knife and made a cut on Qin Weiyang's arm.

Crimson blood beads slowly seeped out.

However, this wasn't enough. To make the wound look more natural.

Su Yang focused on "sculpting" on her hand, simulating the traces of a fall.

Of course, it was hard to restore it 100% with just a knife, at most making the wound deeper.

"This is all I can do."

Su Yang put away the knife, recovered some physical strength, picked her up, and walked toward the infirmary.

As soon as he entered the door, he rushed toward the office in a panic, shouting: "Doctor, doctor!"

The female doctor inside who was chasing a drama jumped when she heard the sound, skillfully pressed the space bar, and minimized the page.

Turning around, she saw Su Yang running in with a panicked expression. "My classmate fainted, please help her take a look."

The doctor noticed the bloodstains on his clothes, and her face changed slightly. "Put her on the bed first."

Only to see her seriously open Qin Weiyang's eyelids, then touch her forehead.

"Doctor, is she okay?" Su Yang asked with concern.

"Where did she faint?" the doctor asked.

"The small woods in front of the girls' dormitory," Su Yang said as such.

At this moment, the doctor noticed the injury on Qin Weiyang's arm and looked at the wound with slight confusion.

"She should have fainted from heatstroke. I'll go get a wet towel; you help me get an ice pack from the refrigerator."

"Oh oh, okay."

While Su Yang ran away, the doctor first used a cotton swab to clear the blood around the wound, then took iodophor to disinfect it.

After completing all this, she took a wet towel to wipe her neck and armpits.

"Ice pack is here," Su Yang said, panting.

The doctor wrapped the ice pack with a wet towel and applied it to her forehead.

A set of actions flowed like water; it wasn't hard to see that the doctor had quite rich experience in dealing with heatstroke.

"What's with the wound?" The doctor raised her head to look at Su Yang. ===== CHAPTER 249 =====
