Chapter 25 School
Opposite is a row of 2- and 3-story buildings.
It is similar to the area near ordinary schools, with restaurants, Internet cafes, stationery stores and so on.
The Internet cafe business is very good, and the female boss standing in front of the stationery store looks as if she is about to die.
Jiang Cheng walked to the door of a coffee shop, stopped for a few seconds, and then pushed the door and walked in.
There was almost no one on the first floor, so he found the stairs to the second floor, and then went straight to the third floor.
As soon as he came up, he saw that the seats by the window were full of people.
There were about 7 or 8 people, and their eyes were focused on Jiang Cheng's face at this time.
"Doctor!" The fat man squeezed in the corner looked at Jiang Cheng with tears in his eyes, "It's great to see you here!"
Jiang Cheng really didn't expect to see the fat man here, but he only looked at the fat man and then looked away.
The people in front of him seemed to be teammates for this mission.
There were more people than last time.
This time, including Jiang Cheng, there were 8 people.
"Hello," a man in a white suit stood up and smiled at Jiang Cheng, "You are really amazing. You can find this place by yourself."
Indeed, Jiang Cheng did not choose this cafe randomly.
Most of the buildings nearby are low, so only here has the best view, not to mention that there are large glass windows on the third floor, which can clearly see the situation of the school opposite.
Jiang Cheng looked at the school outside the glass window and slowly turned his head, "Is the mission location this time this school?"
"It should be," the man in the suit shrugged, "I have just asked the waiter here. This is not an ordinary school, but an art school."
Just when the man in the suit wanted to say something else, he suddenly heard a violent roar, "Where is this place? Who are you? I want to call the police!!"
Jiang Cheng turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in a vest questioning loudly. He was very emotional and it seemed that he had entered the nightmare world for the first time.
"We have already told you everything we should say. Whether you can accept it or not is your problem," a young man in a baseball cap leaned on the sofa. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the middle-aged man. Suddenly, he grinned and said, "I am not your father, so I have no obligation to care about your life or death."
"I will call the police! I will sue you for illegal detention!" The middle-aged man looked very fierce, but Jiang Cheng knew at a glance that he was just afraid.
The middle-aged man should have realized the difference between this world and the real world, but he just resisted this fact from the bottom of his heart.
It's like an ostrich sticking its head into the sand when it encounters danger.
Otherwise, he could have chosen to leave instead of staying here.
There are three recognized newcomers this time, in addition to the middle-aged man in a vest, there is also a man and a woman.
The woman is wearing a cute dinosaur pajamas, with a short tail behind her. Her face is pale and she looks like she may faint at any time.
The man was slightly better than the woman, but according to the fat man, the man was worse than the middle-aged man when he first appeared. He not only questioned everyone present emotionally, but also overturned the table in the coffee shop in public.
"Okay," the man in a suit stepped forward and said very naturally: "Since everyone is here, let's go to the school to have a look."
"Is the school definitely the mission location?" This time it was a woman in a cheongsam who spoke up. The light smoky makeup was full of the charm of the last century. She had a great figure, but her appearance was plain.
"Not necessarily," the man in a suit looked at her and smiled, "but it won't be dangerous to try. We all know that we will only encounter those things when we arrive at the real mission location."
When the man mentioned those things, everyone's eyes became solemn, and no one spoke anymore.
The group walked out of the cafe, and even the hysterical middle-aged man followed silently at the end of the team.
Fatty took this opportunity to squeeze over, "Doctor," he said in a low voice, "I was scared to death if I didn't see you when I first came here."
Jiang Cheng was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and asked directly, "How did you find the cafe?"
Unexpectedly, the fat man licked his lips and said embarrassedly, "I didn't find it. My birth point is here. I pushed open the door and stood directly on the table on the third floor of the cafe. The school is opposite."
Jiang Cheng glanced at the fat man and didn't speak for a long time. Later, he continued to ask, "What about the others?"
"They all arrived after me."
"Their birth point is also in the cafe?"
"Not all of them," the fat man shook his head, and then raised his head again He lowered his chin, motioning Jiang Cheng to look at the front of the line. The man in the suit was leaning his head to comfort the woman in the dinosaur pajamas. "The man in the white suit is the same as you. He found his way here by himself."
Jiang Cheng took a breath. "That means that except for him and me, the remaining seven people were born in the cafe, especially since you stood directly on the table on the third floor."
"Doctor, if you insist on saying that, I won't argue with you." The fat man looked much better than the first time he entered the nightmare. At least he could speak fluently. He continued, "But please don't use the word birth. I think it's more sacred to use advent."
Jiang Cheng said "tsk". Just as he was about to teach the fat man a lesson, they had already walked to the school gate.
The gate was silent, but the small door next to it made a long "creak".
Then a middle-aged woman came out, claiming to be the reception teacher here, to greet them.
Because they didn't know the content of the mission and the roles they played, everyone wisely chose to follow the middle-aged woman, the first NPC, without saying a word.
Generally speaking, the role of the first NPC is to explain the roles of the players in this book and the background of the tasks they are facing.
After communicating with the woman, they knew the roles they played.
They were a photography team under a cultural media company, and this time they were specially invited to shoot the anniversary celebration of this school in the near future.
It was indeed as the man in the suit said, this is an art school, mainly recruiting students in music and related majors. It is not large in scale, but according to the woman, it is very famous and has produced many stars.
"The people in your company have delivered the equipment a day in advance," said the middle-aged woman, "It is now in our equipment room, you don't have to worry."
"Can we go to the equipment room to take a look?" The young man wearing a peaked cap in the team suddenly spoke.
At this moment, he was wearing his hat backwards, and the earring on one ear seemed to be inlaid with something, reflecting light in the sunset.
The woman suddenly stopped and looked at the young man with a dark expression, "No, absolutely not!"
