Chapter 379: Behind the Rumors
The two girls hid behind their textbooks and stuck out their tongues, not daring to say anything more. After an afternoon of hard work, when school was about to end, Zhang Liying finally sorted out a rumor that she thought was closest to the truth.
According to the rumors collected by Tan Yiping's gang, there is a common denominator: this kind of life-borrowing ritual is all carried out in a dream, and the person who is borrowed will be scattered after death, and will not be able to live forever, this error is not big.
Some students say that the people who go to borrow other people's lives specially select beautiful girls, these girls are chased by demons in their dreams, and when they are hypnotized, they will use murder weapons to kill people, and then jump off the building to commit suicide...... These were all ruled out by Zhang Liying, and Zhang Liying finally summed up a rumor that was closest to Black Bean's words, which turned out to be from the mouth of Lu Han, who was in the same class as her.
The truth is so close? This Lu Han, who usually devotes all his energy to becoming an "idol star", this person who has always been not interested in rumors and gossip, the rumors he said this time are the closest to the truth, is he the hidden master? Zhang Liying shook her head, impossible, if this is the case, Lu Han would not have been attacked by someone possessed by evil spirits not long ago.
"Lu Han, wait a minute, wait a minute......" After school, Zhang Liying desperately chased after him and stopped him.
After school, Lu Han will go to learn vocal music, dance, and musical instruments at his own expense...... It seems that it is not possible to be an idol star with only a handsome face, so he is always in a hurry, and he disappears as soon as he gets out of school.
"Zhang Liying, is there something wrong?" Even in the same class, Lu Han and Zhang Liying rarely interact.
There were no more than fifty people in their class, but they were divided into circles of different sizes, and the two belonged to different circles. Zhang Liying never took the initiative to look for him, Lu Han knew this very well.
"I want to ask you about that rumor," Zhang Liying panted and grabbed Lu Han's bicycle, "the rumor you told others...... Tell me again......"
"Rumors, borrowing that?" Of course, the most sensational rumor in the past few days is this, Lu Han immediately understood, Zhang Liying's question, as if he was the maker of the rumor, what an insult to people's wisdom, "Oh, it's the one that the whole school is spreading, that didn't me invent it!"
Zhang Liying lifted the heavy schoolbag up and nodded vigorously: "I know that the school is spreading, can you tell me, who did you listen to? or ......?"
Lu Han scoffed at Zhang Liying's words:
"Of course I didn't make it up myself, and I didn't write supernatural mystery novels. I think I heard about it in our community...... Yes, at lunchtime, everyone was talking nonsense...... It seems to be Wang Wei, no, it seems to be Li Nan, and it is not ...... Forget it, I can't remember, I forgot who said it, that's what it was like anyway.
Why are you asking this? You don't really believe it, do you? These are all strange nonsense, you must not believe this kind of absurd thing, be careful to scare yourself so that you can't sleep! I'm in a hurry, let's go first, if you really want to know, I'll help you ask tomorrow when our club is in the middle of the event. ”
"No, I'm just asking. Zhang Liying knew that even if Lu Han asked again, there would be no result.
It seems that although he was a propagator of the rumor, he did not believe in which of the rumors came first. Besides, this rumor is circulating throughout the school, and how many people really believe it? If Zhang Liying hadn't known the truth in advance, she would have heard this rumor, and she would definitely not have taken it seriously.
"The people of your club ......," Zhang Liying muttered in a low voice. The Literature and Art Club is the largest club in the school, with at least seventy or eighty members, and it is not easy to find someone to talk to Lu Han about this. Do you want to keep looking?
"Okay, don't think about it so much, don't scare yourself, that person must have died of a heart attack, the police said so, it won't be wrong...... If you really don't need me to ask for you, then I'll go......" Lu Han patted the handlebars of his bicycle, then waved away with her.
Zhang Liying looked at his back and pouted, unable to see that he believed the words of the school and the police so much. I thought he was the kind of person who was more rebellious.
When Zhang Liying went home, the faces of the members of the art club she knew swirled in her mind, which one could it be? Could they be just communicators? What is the connection between this rumor-maker and that ghost teacher? Until she walked to the school gate, she didn't come up with anything, but her head hurt even more.
It was only then that she remembered that she had forgotten to go to the carport to pick up her bicycle first, so she had to go back again. The school's carport is at the back of the school building, next to the girls' dormitory. She didn't want to stay near the building for long, and walked briskly with her head down.
Zhang Liying...... Zhang Liying ...... "A voice behind her called her loudly.
Zhang Liying hesitated for a moment, and when she turned around, she saw Teacher Li Jing standing on the steps of the dormitory and waving to her.
"Zhang Liying, come on......" Li Jing stood far away and waved to Zhang Liying, Zhang Liying froze, she was really in a hurry to go home, but Teacher Li told her that there must be something, but it didn't seem to be good, so she had to lock the car again and walk over.
"Come to my dorm and sit down, I have something to ask you. Old Li's face didn't look very good, and he looked extremely tired. If something like this happened in the dormitory, she, the dormitory teacher, must have received a lot of criticism.
"Teacher Li, is there something wrong?" Of course, an honor student like Zhang Liying would not refuse the teacher's inquiry, not to mention a teacher like Li Jing, who usually takes good care of her.
But from that day on, Zhang Liying began to fear this dormitory building. After the incident, the students who didn't know the truth could continue to live, and the students who saw Yutong's tragic state when she died, such as Lin Xuewei and Tan Yiping, had already escaped completely, either moving to another dormitory far away from 307, or going home to sleep no matter how far away they were.
Now in that building, the only one who has seen what Yutong looked like after his death is now only Teacher Li alone, Zhang Liying admires Teacher Li's courage very much, but she is very reluctant to go to her dormitory to speak, but after all, she can't match Li Jing's expectant gaze, so she still walks up.
She followed Li Jing upstairs, although she knew that Yutong's death was because of the ghost master's life, and it had nothing to do with ghosts and demons, so there would be no ghosts in this building, but as soon as Zhang Liying walked into the building, she felt that the temperature had plummeted, and she had goosebumps all over her body.
"It must be psychological...... It must be ......" Zhang Liying muttered so repeatedly in her heart as she walked, so she didn't listen to some of the words Li Jing said when she went upstairs, she just wanted to get to the destination quickly, Li Jing pushed open the dormitory door, and she reacted and asked, "What?"
Li Jing sighed, Zhang Liying was really not as bold as her appearance, and after that incident, she still had lingering feelings about this building.
"There's nothing to be afraid of, I live here every day, isn't there nothing?" Li Jing smiled and comforted Zhang Liying, "Aren't you afraid of her when that Yutong is alive." ”
Zhang Liying couldn't understand the psychology of adults, anyway, she didn't think that such a statement would make people feel at ease, so she kept her head down and kept silent.
After entering the house, Li Jing closed the door, picked up the kettle and poured a cup of hot water for Zhang Liying, and then said: "I heard that this matter has been rumored among your classmates these days, right? You also know that students are very reluctant to talk about this kind of thing with the teacher, so I want to ask you, do you know that rumor? Can you tell me about it?"
Zhang Liying bit her lip, it is normal for the gossip between students to hide from the teacher, in the school, the students and teachers represent basically a "hostile class".
Originally, she told Teacher Li about the gossip that circulated among the students, and this kind of behavior like making a small report was not in line with Zhang Liying's character, but the problem was that she knew in her heart that this was not gossip at all, but a real danger. So she hesitated for a moment and recounted the incident in detail, provided that it was preceded by a hearing from her classmates.
“…… That's what I've heard, and it's said that as long as you don't take the lamp from someone closest to you, you'll be fine. If something like this happens, you have to think desperately, I'm going to go back, I'm going to wake up, and then I'll wake up fine. ”
Zhang Liying thought about it for a while, and still said that the out-of-body was a dream, otherwise it would be difficult for people to accept, I hope that Teacher Li will believe in this matter, even if she doesn't believe it, at least after she knows about it, in case of real misfortune, she will be guarded.
Sure enough, after Zhang Liying finished speaking in one breath, Li Jing's expression was obviously only two words "nonsense", anyway, she didn't expect her to believe it, Zhang Liying stuck out her tongue: "Teacher Li, this kind of ghost rumor, there are people in every school, and few people believe it, so everyone won't say it in front of the teacher, don't take it to heart if you hear it." ”
It took a long time for Li Jing to ask a completely irrelevant question thoughtfully: "You also saw what Yutong looked like at that time, right?"
After Yutong's death, Lin Xue in their dormitory cleverly locked the dormitory to prevent others from entering, so the students who really saw Yutong's terrifying appearance after her death were only the three girls in the same dormitory as Yutong and Zhang Liying, Li Jing was the teacher who managed the dormitory, and of course she had also seen Yutong's corpse, as soon as she asked, Zhang Liying's mind immediately appeared in the terrifying corpse at that time, which made her shudder.
"Do you look at her like she has a heart attack?" asked Li Jing as she stared at her.
Zhang Liying bit her lip, lowered her eyes and shook her head.
"Do you look at her like she has a heart attack...... That's not a disease, there's no disease in the world that can make people die like that!" Li Jing raised her voice and said angrily in a somewhat sharp voice.
Of course, Zhang Liying knew better than anyone else that it was not a disease, but she had no way to say it, so she had to say: "But, but, the police are also ......."
"Police!" Li Jing's voice rose again, "They will never care about the truth of the matter, as long as the file shows that the case has been closed, they don't have to bear any responsibility anymore, they will be satisfied!"
"Agreed, so agreed!" Zhang Liying agreed loudly in her heart, but her reason told her that there was a teacher in front of her, so she immediately said with a good student demeanor, "The police and the school both said so, there must be their reasons." ”
"No, I don't believe it's a disease, it's like ...... It must have been sucked away by someone else, that's why he suddenly became so old, like he was dead! Ghost master, by the way, it must be the ghost master who was making trouble! It was the ghost master who killed Yutong!"
"She's a people's teacher, how can she believe in the ghost teacher so easily......?
Fortunately, Li Jing is not a teacher, otherwise...... But then again, no one has stipulated that teachers can't be superstitious, as long as they don't spread it to their students, that's the freedom of personal belief.
