Chapter 1336: Locked room, loud noise
Wu Jin relayed to the Headmaster that they would come back to investigate some other day. Since they did not find anything, it would be better for them to come back again. However, no sooner did Wu Jin say that they were leaving Headmaster Yuan's face turned grim.
He did not want them to go but at the same time, he couldn't tell them that it was around three in the morning when weird things started happening.
Headmaster Yuan was torn between pleading with Wu Jin and asking him to stay back and letting them go while hiding the truth.
"Headmaster, that thing is killing the teachers as well," the Deputy Headmaster behind him could not help but say. He knew what was making the headmaster hesitant but if this man continued to hide the truth then they all would be in danger!
Sure enough. When Headmaster Yuan heard that his life was in danger as well, he immediately smiled at Wu Jin and the rest of the officers before saying, "Deputy Chief Wu, if you don't mind can you leave your officers at the training centre? I don't mean anything but the students and the teachers are really scared these days. If...If your officers stay behind then we will be in peace for at least a night."
Wu Jin wanted to refuse. It was clear that the Headmaster and the leaders were the ones who had provoked that thing by calling Ye Xiyuan and hiding the truth from them. What was more Yun Yi had foolishly stepped on the grudge vein. If he were to leave them who knows what might happen to them, especially Yun Yi?
However, Yun Yi and the rest did not have such qualms. When they heard that Headmaster Yuan was asking them to stay back. They agreed, this was because they knew that if they stayed back they would be able to investigate more.
When Wu Jin heard them agreeing, he wished he could smack some sense into them but since they had already agreed, there was nothing he could do to them. With his head throbbing and heart aching, he took out a bunch of talismans and handed them to Captain Lei.
"Take them, if you see something weird happening use them," he told Captain Lei. If it was before Captain Lei would have refused Wu Jin but after seeing the blood ooze from the metal rods in the infirmary, he was a bit worried. Nothing seemed to be making sense which only made him even more confused.
Captain Lei took the talismans which shocked not only Wu Jin but also Yun Yi and the rest. What was Captain Lei doing? Was he brainwashed by Song Yan in a few hours? When did she do it!? They did not even see it!
"That woman is really amazing," Yan Shan couldn't help but remark as he watched Captain Lei stuff the talismans in his pockets. It was he who was telling Song Yan to not believe in such things and now he was the one who was taking the talismans.
Even Yun Yi and Rong Wei had to admit that Song Yan was really slick with her words. She actually made Captain Lei believe her and her foolish superstition talk.
Wu Jin did not care what the rest thought, since Captain Lei took the talismans, he did not have to worry about anything. As the man was smart enough to know when to use them.
He took his leave after telling Captain Lei to use the talismans when he was in danger.
Once he was gone, Yun Yi turned to look at Captain Lei and couldn't help but remark, "Captain Lei, do you really believe in these stupid pieces of paper?"
"This is not a matter of me believing or not," said Captain Lei calmly. "These talismans are something that Deputy Chief Wu gave us as a sign of goodwill."
Yun Yi, Yan Shan and Rong Wei: ... You did not care about this goodwill just hours ago, Captain Lei.
Though the three men wanted to say something, they swallowed their words as they could sense that it would be wasteful.
Yun Yi turned to look at Headmaster Yuan and said to him, "Where are we going to stay?"
"There are many rooms empty in the training centre, I will bring you to one," Headmaster Yuan said to Yun Yi. He turned to look at Professor Wu who nodded and then said to the four men, "Please follow me."
Yun Yi and the rest nodded as they followed after the man. However, they remained on guard even after reaching the room. It was as if they were waiting for something to pop up from behind the curtains or under the bed. They even looked around the room, to make sure that there was nothing suspicious hiding in the room.
"Weird there is nothing inside the room," Yun Yi was certain that they would find something.
He thought that since the leaders of the training centre were running a brainwashing campaign they would try to do something to them. But the room was very simple. "Maybe something might happen later?" Yan Shan remarked and Yun Yi nodded.
Rong Wei and Captain Lei did not say anything. They settled down on their bunk beds and started thinking about what happened in the training centre. Though they tried to make it make sense no theory could prove that the things that were happening in the training centre were done by a human.
An hour passed by and soon the clock hours were pointing at three in the morning. The four men were about to fall asleep when suddenly they heard a loud thump from somewhere.
Startled they all woke up.
