Chapter 3 Research Lamp, Special School for Children
Returning to the Spirit Academy office alone, I flipped through Su Qian's notebook from beginning to end and found no more useful information.
The "robot cat" small table lamp was not mentioned again, and Wu Ming's matter was only occasionally said, expressing his feelings of longing.
It is impossible to find out Wu Ming's whereabouts from this aspect, it seems that you can only start with this small table lamp.
Actually, before, I didn't care about Wu Ming, there was a wanted warrant for someone in a ghost village, so I didn't have to worry about it. But when I met the fat man today, I was worried that Wu Ming would use Lin Na to trap the fat man, so I felt that it was better to catch him as soon as possible.
Don't blame me for being psychologically dark and engaging in conspiracy theories, it's really Wu Ming's existence that is a threat to us, after all, I ruined his life with my own hands.
In addition, it is the small table lamp. It's true that Wu Ming has handled it, but if you want to start with this thing to find Wu Ming, it's a bit fantastical. Its function is just to give me a clue about what Wu Ming has done in the ghost village.
Relatively speaking, I am more interested in the story of the small table lamp itself.
Just imagine, an aunt or aunt stands at the intersection every day with a small desk lamp, one station or a whole day, there must be something hidden in this. Also, whenever I pay attention to this small table lamp, I always have a certain inexplicable feeling, and I kept asking Lin Na about the origin of this table lamp as an example.
If it had been a month ago, I wouldn't have paid much attention to this situation. But since I came to Tiandao University, I have watched "Basic Course of Psychics". and the strange "behavior" of various objects in the office of the Spirit Academy, I now feel that this small table lamp is affecting me.
Sitting on the couch in my office at the moment, with the missing "robot cat" in front of me, I was trying to find more oddities in it. But apart from intermittent bouts of palpitations, there was no other information at all.
If Mr. Li was here, he would definitely be able to see the weirdness of this small table lamp, and maybe he could communicate with the artificial earth soul that this little table lamp possessed.
Pity......
Ay?
I was secretly feeling sorry for myself, and when I turned my head, I saw a big man lying on the single sofa. As a substitute teacher, even if he doesn't have a god-given spiritual eye like Mr. Li, he should be able to understand weird things under his ears and eyes.
Why don't you let it help?
I thought to myself. I reached out and nudged the big man's head. Hand the small lamp to its face.
"Big man, help me see what's weird about this thing. ”
"Big man, don't pretend to be asleep, I know you can hear me. I can understand it, too. ”
"Big man, big teacher......"
Feel all the stuff in this office. When Mr. Li opened his spiritual sense and communicated with the soul. It's also tainted with some bad things, and if you don't say a few good words, it will definitely throw you face.
Just like this Satsuma. I pushed it for a long time without moving, and finally called out to the big teacher, and it immediately got up.
The dog's tail wagged back and forth twice, and he nodded at me, looking very satisfied.
When it had done its fill, it leaned over and approached the small lamp.
Sister, a dog is still so presentable, and it won't let people live in the future!
I really don't know how Mr. Li cultivated these things, let them develop these stinky tempers, but temperament and personality are secondary, as long as they can do the right thing.
I saw the big man sniff on the small lamp, and then he stepped back with a frightened look.
Retreating to the back of the couch, it seemed to be relieved, shook its head, turned around and ran to the desk to grab my textbook.
I understand this action, which is what it did yesterday when he checked my study on behalf of Mr. Li. Later, we also formed a tacit understanding, that is, when I turned the book and turned to the place where it was going to check, it would stretch out its paws and hold me.
Could it be that the situation of this small table lamp is explained in the textbook?
I tentatively flipped through the textbook, page by page, and when I got to the chapter on "Swallowing the Thief's Spirit," the big man actually reached out his paw and held my hand.
"Swallowing thieves", one of the seven spirits of people, connects the ears, the liver, and relieves the gall. When a person is in extreme fear, the Thief Eater will be amplified for a short period of time to balance the person's bodily functions and help the person stay calm and make the most correct decisions. In other words, the thief eater is in charge of "fear" in terms of human emotion.
Looking at the explanation of the thief swallower in the textbook, I was a little confused, turned my head to look directly at the big man and asked, "Big teacher, do you mean that this person's thief swallower is attached to this small lamp?"
"Wang!"
The big man gave me an approving shout, but it made me a little confused.
The Thief Eater is one of the Seven Spirits, and the Seven Spirits are born from the human soul, and humans are social animals, and one person's human soul reaction can be transmitted to others in some form. For example, if someone shouts out of fear and the people around them scream together, this is when the Thief Eater is affected and triggers a physical reaction, which then affects other people through the transmission function of the human soul.
Before, I had a palpitating feeling when I got this small lamp in my hand, and the big man leaned over and retreated in horror, which was caused by this principle. I can totally understand that.
But what I don't understand is how a small table lamp can have a human soul!
The table lamp is a man-made object, and it is possible for it to evolve into an artificial form of earth soul, but it will definitely not produce a human soul. Because the human soul is the main life, the table lamp is a dead thing without life.
Unless...... Unless someone attaches their thief devouring spirit to it.
But the question is, who would put his soul on a lamp, is this person still alive?
The more I think about it, the more weird I feel, and I'm really curious about what the story of this little table lamp is.
"Lin Na said, Wu Ming got this small lamp from the orphanage, do you want to go to the orphanage and ask?"
"Wang!"
"Can you take me there, then? I'd like to ask who this little lamp is. ”
"Wang!"
As soon as the big man heard that he could go out, he immediately ran to the room excitedly and took out his dog leash and dog tag. Take him out for a walk every morning these days. I'm used to it, too. Dressed it neatly, put on a school bag, installed a small table lamp, and we went out with one person and one dog.
This is the first time I have walked out of the campus of Tiandao University alone, and when I get out of the gate, I can only rely on the big man to lead the way, and the other party is worthy of being a dog who can become a substitute teacher in the Spirit Academy, and he directly pulled me to the bus stop outside the east gate of the school.
It's very reasonable to take the bus, but it's not good to lead the big one, even if the identity is bull B, it's also a dog, and the bus here doesn't let pets go up?
It's full of entanglements. The big guy dragged me to the front door of a bus that had just stopped. I didn't even see how many cars it was, so it took me into the car.
As soon as I got in the car, I realized that all the worries I had just had were unnecessary.
The driver of the car tilted his head. See the big one. Immediately grinned.
"Yo. It's a big teacher, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”
"Wang!"
"Okay, find a place to sit behind you. The fare is still on Mr. Li's head, isn't it?"
"Wang!"
"Okay, let's go. ”
The driver greeted me and started the car, and I was about to follow the big man backwards, when the driver suddenly turned his head and shouted at me, "Young man, get in the car and put coins!"
Well, I'm not as good as a dog.
I honestly threw a dollar, and when I turned my head to look at it, the big one was obviously a public dog, and everyone on the bus recognized it. They all greeted it like acquaintances, but I was caught a glimpse of it.
Nima, what the hell is going on, is this big man still a star?
Forget it, as long as it doesn't lead me the wrong way.
Honestly find a back seat and sit down, looking out the window at the unfamiliar scenery, my first tour of the ghost village began.
It was really like a "tour", and the big man took me on the bus until the terminal. After getting off the bus, I reversed the train again, and it was more than three hours later when I got to the second terminal. For such a long time, I'm afraid I've already walked half of the ghost village out, right?
Holding the big dog on a leash in his hand, he followed him down the road for a long time, and then turned onto a dirt road. The scenery changed from tall buildings to low bungalows, and from low bungalows to dense fruit forests, and it was not until I reached the end of this dirt road that I was finally sure that the big man had not led me the wrong way.
Right in front of him, a double-open iron fence gate with the sign of "Ghost Village School for Special Children" blocked the dirt road, invisibly giving people an eerie and depressing feeling.
"Big teacher, this is the orphanage in the ghost village?"
"Wang!"
"Uh, okay. ”
Tightening the strap of my bag, I told myself that if I regretted turning around now, I would be sorry for the three-hour bus ride. Anyway, it's a children's school, and it's not a tiger's den in Longtan, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
stepped forward, raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, but before his hand fell, he walked out of the communication room by the door and thought that he was an uncle.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Ah, hello, I'...... I'm looking for someone. ”
"Looking for whom?"
"You're an orphanage in a ghost village, right?"
"yes. ”
"Then I'll find your dean. ”
"What are you doing?"
"Oh, I'm a student at Heavenly Dao University. ”
I quickly took out my student ID card from my schoolbag and handed it through the iron door, and the uncle took it in his hand and looked at the sun for a while.
"Lu Zufei? Well, okay, you wait a minute, I'll make a call. ”
The janitor didn't even give me a chance to defend himself, and turned his head back to the communication room. It was probably less than a minute, and the uncle came out again, opened the big iron door, and returned the student ID to me by the way.
"The dean is in the office, on the second floor of the small two-story building at the front. By the way, dogs can't be brought in. ”
"Oh, thank you. ”
When I entered the door of this orphanage, I felt even more depressed in my heart, and I really didn't want to talk to a janitor, so I agreed casually, looked down at the big man and said, "Big teacher, you wait for me here for a while, and I'll come back when I go." Don't run around, I can't go back without you. ”
"Wang!"
“OK。 ”
Taking a deep breath, I walked towards the small two-story building in front of me.
This school seems to be connected to the fruit grove outside, and after entering the school gate, there are still fruit trees planted on both sides of a gravel road. Walking on the road, the dense foliage covers the sun, giving people an eerie feeling.
But this road is still dead, looking at the two-story building over there is quite close, but after walking for a while, I only walked to the middle.
When you get here, the whole world is quieter, and a school, even if it is a school for special children, should always have some popularity. Even if these two days are holidays, whose orphanage is still on holiday, why can't you even hear the shouts of a child?
People are like this, once I have a fear of an unfamiliar place, a little wind and grass can magnify my fear infinitely.
Walking on the dark forest path, the more I thought about it, the more strange it became, but when I thought about it, I felt as if someone was following me. As I walked forward, the man followed me, and I quickened my pace, and there was a sound of hurried footsteps behind me.
It reminds me of a ghost story I heard when I was a kid.
If someone follows you in the middle of the night, or even puts a hand on your shoulder, don't look back, maybe some wolf or ghost is following you, and half of your face will be gnawed off by those things as soon as you turn around.
This ghost story has been with me for countless days and nights, and it has been ingrained in my mind, even if it is daylight, I dare not look back in this situation, I can only move forward at a faster pace.
Who knows how much I panicked, the more mistakes I made, I didn't go far, I didn't notice that a small pebble under my feet was too slippery, and I shook my foot, forcing me to stop.
Whoever thought about this would stop and something slammed into the crook of my leg behind me.
There was no chance to react at all, and I fell to the ground with both knees bent.
Rub, it's not an illusion, there's something in Nyima following me.
Thinking of this, I was about to look back, but my neck didn't move, and a fluffy paw rested on the back of my shoulder, and then a hot breath blew up my ears.
I rub, what's the situation, it's blowing hot, then it's not a ghost, is it a jackal beast?
Where did the jackal beast come from in Nima's school, it should be something else, so should I turn back?
My heart was entangled, and at the same time, I felt the heat on the roots of my ears, mixed with something wet dripping onto my neck.
Is that saliva?
The thing that was lying on my back and spitting hot and dripping saliva still came up from behind, could it be......
A possibility suddenly occurred to me, and I suddenly turned over and looked back.
With my movements, there was a crisp "Wang!" in my ears.
"Damn, big man, Nima is as scaring as you!" (To be continued......)
