Chapter 184: Search Along the Route

Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Zhang Zian had a picture editing app on his cellphone. He tried planning out a route several times on that app and finally got a satisfying solution. He saved the map with the route.

It wasn't a perfect route because he might not be able to search the fields on the sides, behind, or even on the roofs of the buildings. He tried. If he couldn't find the Elfin after going through the whole route, he would have to think of other routes. Regarding the roof, Zhang Zian guessed that it was locked because the school didn't want students to have access to it in case they jumped off the building to commit suicide.

Galaxy was afraid of people, so it was a special example. For Fina and Old Time Tea, they had both appeared in a place where people were. They turned into Elfins due to people's worship. Therefore, Zhang Zian thought that the next Elfin was less likely to appear in an empty classroom… unless the Elfin was also afraid of people.

After excluding some impossible places, Zhang Zian felt a lot more at ease.

”Grandpa Tea, let's wander around. It is a great opportunity to enjoy the university,” he said to Old Time Tea.

Old Time Tea followed.

Zhang Zian followed the route he made, and walked around the office building which he hated the most. That was the last building in his plan. First, he headed to the No. 1 academic building.

The No.1 academic building was one of the original buildings when Binhai University was established. It was a three-story building with a dated look. Although it was at least 40-years old, it was very practical. It was a red brick building with vines all over the bricks. The windows were old-fashioned wood windows. It looked like it would be torn down soon because the school hadn't done any maintenance work at all.

Pine and evergreen trees were on both sides of the door. It was very quiet.

The No. 1 academic building was closest to the gate yet farthest from the dorms. It was also the oldest building, so not many students came here to study. One could tell from the number of bicycles parked outside. Honestly, no one wanted to come here if it weren't for class.

As he entered the building, he saw faint lights on in the hallway. It looked quite scary. The bathroom was near the door on the right-hand side. The door of the bathroom was wide open with a sign – under maintenance. A strong mixed smell of disinfectants and human waste came out from the door. It was disgusting.

Holding up his cell phone, Zhang Zian tried to search for the Elfin, but didn't notice anything.

As he got close to a classroom, he pushed open the back door and scanned the room with his cellphone. There were a few students studying inside. Most of the seats were vacant. A few couples were doing their thing as if there were no one around.

It was quite normal nowadays anyway.

Those who could still study there had to be a real curve wrecker.

He got out of the classroom and closed the door.

Old Time Tea didn't follow him into the classroom. It stayed in the hallway and looked around. He was happy that Old Time Tea didn't go in, otherwise what those young kids were doing in public might be a huge disappointment to it.

Zhang Zian checked all the classrooms on the first floor using the same method. Some classrooms had class in session. He would go in, sat down in the last row, pretended he was late, and left after confirming there was no Elfin in the room. He didn't have time to care about the teacher's feelings.

The first floor was done. So were the second and third floor.

He confirmed the Elfin was not in No. 1 academic building.

He checked the time. It took him roughly half an hour.

There were seven more building. He had to hurry up.

According to his plan, the No. 4 academic building would be the next one.

The No.4 academic building was much newer than No.1 building. Unlike the No.1 building which was dark and old, the No. 4 building was well maintained, clean and modern.
