Monument of Life and Death

   CHAPTER 1020 CHEMICAL LAB

   After driving in the dark for a while, Qiaomei Middle School, which the fool had attended, appeared at the end of the road.

   After year after year of expansion, Qiaobu Middle School has become a huge group of buildings. Several buildings near the gate are built so magnificently that there is almost no trace of the past.

   But of course, this shadow did not exist in the minds of several people.

  Luo Jiutian parked the car directly at the main entrance of the school, and the group got out of the car and walked to the door.

  Li Muyuan pushed open the door, and the chain on the door made a rattling sound.

   "Is it locked?" Xia Hua came over and asked, "If it is locked, ask Jiutian to pry it open."

   "It seems..." Li Muyuan put his hand into the gap of the fence and groped for a few times, and the chains tied to the inside of the iron gate were scattered, "There is no lock, the chain is hanging on the door."

   "That's right," Xia Hua and Li Muyuan pulled open the chain inside together and pushed open the door, "Let's go in directly."

  Luo Jiutian looked up at the campus in front of him, "This school is so big, there must be a chemistry laboratory in it."

   "I just don't know which building it's in..." Li Muyuan scratched the back of his head, "So many buildings, so many classrooms, do we have to look for them one by one?"

   "Otherwise... Let's find each other separately?" Luo Jiutian said.

   Everyone looked at each other.

   "Is this... okay?" Li Muyuan scratched his arm and hesitated.

   "In my opinion, we don't need to bring the three of them in for the time being," Xia Hua said. "When we find the medicine inside, let Muyuan bring the medicine out for Zhou Ye's treatment. What do you think?"

   Several people quickly agreed to this proposal.

   "Then we have to keep someone here," Li Muyuan said, "who stays?"

   Several people looked at each other again.

   "Why don't I stay," Xia Hua shrugged and said, "I don't know what the chemistry lab looks like anyway, and I won't be able to help if I go in."

   "Patriarch Xia Hua is humble," said the Taoist priest, "but I agree with Patriarch Xia Hua... At present, my combat power is limited, so I'm afraid I can't protect Miaozhen and the others. It's better for Patriarch Xia Hua to stay here."

   "Sister Hua, you must be careful." Luo Jiutian reluctantly said to Xia Hua.

   "You need to worry about something useful," Xia Hua couldn't help laughing. "If something happens to me, you will be out of luck."

  Under Xia Hua's gaze, the three stepped over the high iron threshold at the school gate and set foot on the campus path.

  The campus is very big, and they still have to walk a long way before reaching the building closest to them. The three of them looked around curiously, as if they were curious about everything here.

   "I hope there is a chemistry laboratory in the building ahead." Luo Jiutian said.

   "I think it's almost the same," said the Taoist priest. "Usually, the first building facing the school gate is the teaching building, and the chemistry labs are usually in the teaching building."

"I see…"

   Li Muyuan and Luo Jiutian showed the expressions of "learned" at the same time.

   The Taoist priest was a little embarrassed, "Jiutian you... Didn't you go to school?"

"Of course, my dad beats me on the back every day and drives me to school," Luo Jiutian glanced at Lao Luo secretly, and said quietly, "It's just that our Jiu Pai people are not usually in ordinary schools. Studying, we have our own school, by the way, Muyuan and I have been classmates for a year."

  Li Muyuan smiled, nodded and said, "Shuangyan has been traveling to various places to study, I also studied in Wenjing for a year... But nine days, we are not classmates, I am your senior."

   "Oh, don't pay attention to these details," Luo Jiutian turned to ask the Taoist priest, "Daoist priest, did you go to an ordinary school?"

   Taoist priest said, "I'm not a member of the Nine Schools, of course I can only go to an ordinary school."

   "Wow...I've never seen a real campus," Luo Jiutian sighed, "Master, what does your school look like?"

   "Is it similar to this place?" Li Muyuan also asked.

   "Well...my school..." The Taoist priest's eyes drifted into the distance, as if recalling something from a long, long time ago, "It's not like this place."

   "Is it bigger than here?" Luo Jiutian asked.

Daoist    shook his head, "My school is very small, and there are not so many buildings on campus, only one teaching building."

   "Ah?" Luo Jiutian said, "Where do you live?"

"We live in our own home," the Taoist priest's tone suddenly became lighter, it seems that this memory brought him a very good feeling, "The students who go to school there are basically students who live nearby, and we go to school every day. You can go home."

   For some reason, when he said the word "go home", Luo Jiutian always felt that the Taoist priest's voice trembled.

  Luo Jiutian turned his head to look at the Taoist priest, but the Taoist priest's face was very calm, and the expression on his face was no different from his usual gentle look.

   "The Taoist priest must have been very happy during his student days." Luo Jiutian looked at the Taoist priest and said.

   "Yeah, I'm very happy," said the Taoist priest with a smile, "My school days were calm and fulfilling, and I miss them very much."

   "It's here," Li Muyuan stopped the two of them and pointed to the main entrance on the first floor of the building, "There seems to be a lock on the door, Jiutian, do you want to pick the lock?"

"What are you prying? It's so troublesome," Luo Jiutian walked directly into the bushes and searched on the ground. After a few seconds, he took a large stone and walked back, "It's not all glass. Well, just smash it open."

When    Luo Jiutian committed the murder, Li Muyuan and Lao Luo helplessly supported their foreheads.

   Too bad, this wonderful space seems to have turned on a certain switch on Luo Jiutian's body.

   Nine days he... seems to be broken.

   The Taoist priest was next to Luo Jiutian to help him, and the two were busy working for a while. After a few minutes, there was only a solitary door frame left on the glass door.

   "Muyuan, why are you standing still?" Luo Jiutian threw the stone back into the bushes and waved at Li Muyuan, "Let's go."

  Li Muyuan hesitated to speak, but finally silently stepped over the wreckage of the glass door, followed behind the two, and entered the building.

   "That's great," the Taoist priest pointed to a marble platform diagonally placed in the center of the hall, "that should be a schematic diagram of the building, equivalent to a map."

   The three walked over quickly, and a few flashlights illuminated the whole map of the map.

   "Wow, it's so clear," Luo Jiutian exclaimed again, "Let me see, the chemistry lab is in... ah, isn't this?"

   "...Mendeleev Pavilion," Li Muyuan read out the words pointed by Luo Jiutian's hand, "it's pretty good at naming it."

   "The Mendeleev Pavilion is the fifth room from the left on the fourth floor," said the priest, "let's go, let's go."
