Chapter 4 New Discoveries
After a long night of talking, none of the four people in the dormitory could explain what was happening in the multipurpose hall. There is also the person who jumped off the building inexplicably, whether he committed suicide, what was the reason for his jump, and what kind of connection he had with the multi-purpose hall on the seventh floor of Building 1. I'm afraid that all these questions can only be answered by the corpse that has already been carried away, and what happened to Li Ju and Ke Tong's girlfriend Lingzi is something that no one dares to experience again, so this nightmare-like experience seems to end here, and there is no possibility of further investigation.
One night a month later, Xue Kaimo was wandering around the campus alone. That terrible night seemed to have disappeared from his memory, but he really felt that a certain nerve in his brain was still not completely relaxed, still pulled by a hidden force, and as for that kind of power, he did not have the heart to insist on pursuing it.
Walking to the front of the building of the girls' dormitory, Xue Kaimo found a group of people gathered around and discussing something enthusiastically. He saw that Reiko was also in the crowd, so he walked over and said hello.
"Come here, I'll tell you. Lingzi saw Xue Kaimo and beckoned him to come over.
Xue Kaimo walked over, and Lingzi pointed to a girl in the middle of the crowd, and said to Xue Kaimo, "Look at her, she is the girlfriend of the boy who jumped off the building in Building No. 2 last month." ”
Xue Kaimo looked into the crowd and saw a medium-sized girl struggling to drag a heavy suitcase. No one next to the girl reached out to help her, everyone was busy pointing at her, and some words were said in a loud volume, as if they were intended to be heard by the girl.
"If you kill someone, you have to come back. ”
"It's because of her, how good that person is Takata, it's a pity. ”
"Look at her, and pretend to be innocent. ”
"What the hell is going on?" Xue Kaimo asked Lingzi.
"The boy who jumped off the building is called Takada, and the girl is Takada's girlfriend. Takada's roommate said that Takada had been in a trance for the first two days before jumping off the building, and he didn't say anything when others asked him why, and everyone thought he was out of love. Also, just an hour before Takada jumped off the building, someone saw him and the girl arguing in the corridor of Building No. 2, and people heard Takada shouting that I will die, and the girl kept saying nothing, just looked at Takada coldly. Later, Takada jumped off the building, and the girl disappeared, so today she went back to the dormitory to get something. Lingzi looked at his watch after saying this, "Oh, Ke Tong is still waiting for me, I won't tell you." ”
Xue Kaimo watched Lingzi walk away, and then turned back to find the girl who was despised by everyone. The girl had already walked around the corner of Building 2 and seemed to be too tired to stop and rest. The crowd around Xue Kaimo gradually dispersed, he hesitated for a moment, and walked towards the girl inexplicably. Xue Kaimo's steps flickered left and right, as if he was drunk, but his brain was sober and clearly knew what he was doing.
"Where are you going? That's not the way out of school. Xue Kaimo caught up with the girl and said to her behind the girl.
The girl turned around, and Xue Kaimo saw a pale thin face and a pair of red and swollen eyes, and the girl's long hair was scattered and fluttering in the evening breeze.
"I don't want to leave school, I came back today just to take what belongs to me. Who are you?" the girl's voice was dry, but there was some spirit.
"My name is Xue Kaimo, you are Gao Tian's girlfriend, right?" Xue Kaimo knew that his question was very reckless, but it seemed that there was something behind this question that could attract his attention even more.
"Don't call me that anymore, my name is Xu Xin, I'm not Gao Tian's girlfriend, I don't want to be Gao Tian's girlfriend. The girl began to weep and speak incoherently, her tears shining blue in the night like two strange lines of blood.
"Don't cry, sit down and rest. Xue Kaimo helped Xu Xin pull the suitcase, and the two of them sat on a bench on the side of the road.
"Tell me what happened, I believe you are innocent. Xue Kaimo was also taken aback when he said this, as if he really thought so, but he hadn't just met Xu Xin until just now, and before that, he didn't even know that the boy who jumped off the building was called Gao Tian.
Xu Xin calmed down a lot, she looked at Xue Kaimo's face, and unconsciously put her hands on Xue Kaimo's legs, as if she had finally found support.
"Takada and I met in our freshman year, and our relationship has always been very good, and we have never quarreled. But it wasn't until last month that Takada suddenly became chattering, often muttering to himself that he had seen some strange people, and what other bedroom building No. 3, and he had begun to be particularly afraid of the strong light. One day I showed him the picture on my phone, and I accidentally pressed the button of the searchlight, and the bright light hit Takada's face, oh my God, I have never seen him so scared, his eyes, nose and mouth were pulling in different directions, as if he was going to tear that face apart. Later, he fainted, and when he woke up, he returned to his previous trance. In fact, I was worried about him and wanted to take him to a psychiatrist, but at noon that day, the day he jumped off the building, he suddenly returned to normal. After class, he asked me to accompany him in the classroom, saying that he was not in a hurry to go to lunch. He kept looking at me and laughing, and I had never seen such a gentle smile. I asked him what had happened during the previous time, why he always talked alone, and why he was afraid of seeing white light. Instead of answering my questions, he told me that there was a multipurpose room on the seventh floor of Building One, and that he was going there that night to pick up something, like a diary, and he asked me to accompany him. I told him that Building One doesn't have seven floors and doesn't have any multipurpose halls. Who knew that he suddenly hit me in the face like crazy, and then ran out alone. I was stupefied, but immediately reacted and chased after me. When I grabbed his hand in the hallway and wouldn't let him go, he yelled and banged his head against the wall. I didn't say anything at the time, just stared blankly, because I suddenly realized that he was not Takada. You may not believe it, but the person in front of me at that time must not have been Takada, although they were exactly the same, but there was a feeling, a particularly strong feeling, that told me that person was definitely not Takada. ”
