The big parrot flapped its wings and led a group of newcomers deeper into the corridor.
While flying, he kept chattering.
"This whole building is the office of the school working committee, and all the old students know it."
"It's just that the building is divided into many offices with different functions. If you don't ask clearly at the front desk, we won't be able to take you to the right place."
"Are you the front desk of the office?" Zhang Jixin couldn't help but interjected and asked.
"Why, you look down on birds?!" The big parrot landed on Zheng Qing's shoulder, tilting its head and giving the red-faced boy a sideways glance.
"That's not what he meant. He meant that the front desk should arrange two or three students to help you." Zheng Qing quickly smoothed things over.
"Yes, you can talk!" The big parrot flapped its wings and patted Zheng Qing's head, praising in an old-fashioned way: "There is indeed a little girl at the front desk to help us, but she is not here today because she has something to do."
Everyone was stunned.
The corridor was very quiet, not a soul was around.
Under the guidance of the parrot, the newlyweds passed through closed wooden doors. The owners of these wooden doors were engraved on the bronze plaques hanging at the lintels.
Health Inspection Office, Comprehensive Archives Management Office, School Journal and Newspaper Management Office, Societies and Federations Office, Student Union Affairs Office, etc.
Office nameplates passed by Zheng Qing's eyes one after another, making him dizzy.
"How many offices are there in this building?" Looking at the dazzling house numbers on both sides, Zheng Qing couldn't help but turn his face and asked the big parrot on his shoulder.
Maybe it was easier to squat on the shoulder than to fly around with wings, so the big parrot landed on Zheng Qing's shoulder and stayed still.
"Too many, even two wings can't be counted!" The big parrot raised one wing and sighed: "The first floor is the office area of the Internal Affairs Committee of the School Working Committee; the second floor is the office area of the Foreign Affairs Committee; the third floor is the security
The office area of the affairs committee. Each committee has more than a dozen functional offices."
"Even the headless horsemen patrolling the corridors can't tell how many offices there are on each floor - of course, they have no heads, and they can't say what they want to say, quack, quack, quack."
As if he thought he had told a funny joke, the parrot flapped its wings and laughed twice.
Lin Guo in the middle of the team let out a short exclamation.
A gust of cold wind blew past the newlyweds.
Zheng Qing forced a laugh twice and looked around in horror, fearing that the headless horseman in the parrot's mouth would suddenly appear in front of him.
The big parrot seemed not to notice that the atmosphere in the team had become somewhat depressing, and continued to explain in a cheerful tone:
"These offices change all the time, and there's no guarantee."
"For example, a few days ago, the 'Linzhong Lake Fishman Reserve Office' was merged into the 'Campus Security Affairs Office' on the third floor on the first floor - because with the increase in the number of fishmen in recent years, the number of cross-border fishman injuries has increased.
Human incidents occur from time to time, and the House Committee considers them to be the responsibility of the Safety Committee."
"Also, after each parliamentary election next month, the Foreign Affairs Committee on the second floor will add or delete corresponding offices according to changes in parliamentary seats."
"So, this number is probably accurate."
"We're here! You need to report here." The parrot flapped its wings, left Zheng Qing's shoulder, came to a wooden door, grabbed the lintel, and tapped the brass nameplate twice.
The surface of the bronze medal is pitted with seven small black seal characters engraved on it: 'First Administrative Office'.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The parrot pecked at the nameplate with its sharp round beak.
"I heard it! I heard it!" A vague voice came from behind the door, and the voice was full of helplessness: "Please be gentle! This is the last sign of this month. I'm sorry that the logistics department won't issue a new one."
The dark red wooden door suddenly opened, startling the new student at the door.
"Follow me!" The big parrot flapped its wings and flew in first.
Several freshmen followed cautiously.
There is plenty of light in the room, which is in sharp contrast to the dark and oppressive environment in the corridor.
There was no one behind the door, and as far as the eye could see were rows of silver-gray metal filing cabinets. The cabinets were very high, leaving almost no space between them and the roof.
These cabinets are lined up in neat rows, and each column looks like there are hundreds of them.
On the wall of the cabinet facing the door, there are bright yellow number plates hanging one after another, from left to right, number one, number two, all the way to number nine.
The parrot had disappeared deep into the office, and Zheng Qing could only hear the echo of its flapping wings.
Several people who walked into the office hesitated and stopped.
The office door slammed shut behind you.
The newcomers were shocked again.
"Go back along the aisle between filing cabinets No. 1 and 2." A voice came from deep in the office: "Just go forward."
Compared with the sound through the door, this voice appears much clearer:
"Be careful when you pass by the display cabinet, don't wake up those annoying little goblins."
Zheng Qing quickly understood what this sentence meant.
There are some more display windows on the filing cabinets deep in the aisle. There are many strange things placed in the transparent glass display windows.
Some of the exhibits can also be distinguished in specific form, such as a clown mask with snake tail as hair, a mottled oil painting, a dirty copper pot, a rusty dagger, a brass ring with emeralds embedded in it, and an oily
Long whip and so on.
Some of the exhibits are confusing, such as a dark irregular stone, a wooden stick with many small holes eaten by insects, several colorful cloth strips intertwined, etc.
There are even skeletons of various strange creatures and human specimens soaked in unknown liquids.
The displays were divided into categories and neatly stacked, which made Zheng Qing's hair stand on end.
"Why are these things in the office?" he asked Xiao Xiao in a low voice.
"It should be magic items that were illegally brought into the campus by the students. They were confiscated and placed here." Xiao Xiao pointed to a label affixed to a window glass.
Zheng Qing came to the label and read it carefully:
Name: Human Skin Thangka (No. Y-2006-007)
Quantity (specification): one piece (75cm*50cm)
Holder: Tashi Duoji (Atlas Level 06)
File entry date: September 1, 2006
Reason for filing: List of black magic equipment prohibited by school regulations (3-1-201)
Danger level: three (no touching)
…
The handwriting on another label next to this one was a little blurry, and Zheng Qing could barely make out that the first few words of the name were 'Barbie'.
In the corresponding window, a little girl with big blue eyes was looking at Zheng Qing with a pitiful expression. She was wearing a crimson princess dress, with a pair of white feet exposed from the bottom of the skirt.
What's the danger?
Zheng Qing couldn't help but rub the label with his fingertips, trying to see it more clearly.
"Hurry up and follow." Xiao Xiao warned in a low voice not far from the front: "Remember the instructions after entering the door."
Zheng Qing reluctantly glanced at the girl in the window and trotted to keep up with his friends.
"I just looked strange." He explained in a low voice.
