Anderson timed it.
After Xiao Chengjun entered the bathroom,
Anderson lowered his head and quickly operated the mini computer, hacking into the school security system. Suddenly, all the electronic locks near the bathroom malfunctioned. He knew the school security system was in protection mode, once attacked, the doors would automatically lock.
Xiao Chengjun was washing his hands in the bathroom when he heard a "click" from the door. It seemed like the door automatically closed. He was about to run to the door when suddenly, all the lights in the bathroom were cut off, leaving only pitch black darkness.
The bathroom had no windows and was completely enclosed. Xiao Chengjun was scared witless instantly.
It was too dark to see anything around him.
He screamed in fright, "Help, someone help, save me!"
"Save me! I'm locked inside, someone help!"
"Help me!"
He shouted hoarsely but unfortunately no one could hear him. Because there was an emergency fire door between the hallway outside the bathroom, and Anderson had remotely closed this door using the intelligent control system. No one would be able to open it for a while.
Xiao Chengjun became even more afraid. The fear from the darkness made him shiver uncontrollably. His whole body shook continuously.
Just then, the lights overhead suddenly turned back on.
He was overjoyed, thinking the circuit was fixed. He hurried to try the door handle but it still wouldn't budge, the door remained locked. Then the bathroom lights went off again, plunging the surroundings back into darkness.
Following that, the lights turned back on, then off again after one second.
It kept flashing on and off like this, just like a haunted house in a horror movie.
Xiao Chengjun was scared silly. He shrieked, "Someone help! Save me! There's a ghost, there's a ghost! It's haunted!! Ah ah ah!"
He shouted until his throat was hoarse but no one came to save him.
Because no one knew at all that he was trapped in the bathroom, going through such a terrifying experience.
Xiao Chengjun bawled as he sat on the floor, hugging his knees tightly. He shouted until he was completely exhausted. As the bathroom lights turned on then off again, he finally collapsed. His crotch grew warm as he peed his pants in fright.
On the other side.
In the classroom, everyone was busily painting, no one cared that Xiao Chengjun had been gone to the bathroom for so long without returning.
Because Anderson had only controlled the circuitry near the bathroom. The classroom side was normal. No one would notice anything off.
It was Mr. Middleton who mentioned, "Huh, Chengjun sure is taking a long time just to wash his hands?"
One kid raised his hand, "Teacher, he must be slacking off in the bathroom! Skipping class!"
The other kids laughed loudly.
Only Anderson had an odd smile, lips curving up.
Mr. Middleton didn't say anything more. Honestly, if Xiao Chengjun wanted to slack, let him. She didn't want to deal with it. It was better having Xiao Chengjun in the bathroom than the classroom. No telling what trouble he would cause, throwing and smashing things, splashing paint. It would be even more headache-inducing. As the teacher, the kids were all from rich families, she couldn't scold them, couldn't afford to offend them. She really hoped someone would teach Xiao Chengjun a harsh lesson, make him learn to behave from now on.
Kiki sneaked a glance at Anderson, "Anderson, Xiao Chengjun still hasn't come back. Did you do something?"
Based on her understanding of Anderson, and her intuition, she felt Anderson wouldn't let Xiao Chengjun off easily, especially after he had embarrassed Anderson today.
Anderson glanced at Kiki. She was rather clever, with keen intuition.
