Chapter 16: The Ghost Tower
On this day, the scorching summer ushered in a rare haze, and the thick cumulus clouds hung in the sky like a full sponge, and the air was filled with an indescribable dullness. Although the eve of a shower is always so unpleasant, the military training ended early because of such weather, which is not a good thing for Seon to know if he is not blessed.
In line with the belief that today's events are over today, Ye Jing ignored Liu Lian's worries about the showers, and insisted on pulling her to the old building area to find Senior Li Ming to sign up.
"It looks like there will be a rainstorm later......" Although Liu Lian was full of complaints, she still walked ahead step by step, she knew that Ye Jing was pulling herself, just because Miss Ye's sense of direction was really flattering, to be honest, she was really worried that she would find some ghost building alone.
Seeing that the downpour was coming, there would naturally not be many pedestrians on the road, Ye Jing almost didn't miss any opportunity to ask for directions, and with Liu Lian's guidance, she finally found the old building area in the manual.
On the third floor of the second building in the north of the old building area of the Engineering Institute, even if you ignore the mottled and gray walls, you can guess how old the building is from the architectural style alone. The main entrance on the ground floor is hollowed out, and the recessed part is supported by a row of circular stone columns, so that the upper floor forms a portico with a hat brim covering the building's door. Especially on such a cloudy day, the end of the walkway is covered in deep shadows, and the occasional metal fittings of the gate occasionally shine with a hint of reflection in the dark, and from a distance, it is as unsettling as the bait at the mouth of a spider's cave.
Walking along the cement steps in front of the door, the relatively closed design of the cloister undoubtedly amplifies the footsteps, making the iron gates open on both sides look extremely hideous.
Liu Lian's outstretched hands were about to push the door, but at this moment they were frightened by the solemn atmosphere.
Ye Jing poked Liu Lian, who was stagnant, and the latter was so frightened that she screamed.
"Wow~~ Don't scare me, okay......"
"What are you afraid of in broad daylight......" Ye Jing sniffed, "Why don't you follow me, and I will walk in front instead......"
Ye Jing said and pushed open the wooden door on the inner floor of the building, accompanied by the creaking of the door shaft, what caught her eye was a dim wooden walkway with a floor, wrinkled cracks crawling all over the lime walls, and shiny mahogany window frames hung on the wall like paintings.
If it weren't for the ominous nickname of Ghost Building, this might just be an ordinary old building in the university town, but now, with all kinds of brain supplements, a strange atmosphere has emerged, and even Ye Jing feels a little unbearable.
"Is it a freshman who has come to sign up?" Just as the two girls turned around and wanted to run, this greeting from the world was undoubtedly a blessing in the snow, and the two hurriedly followed the sound to look, only to see a rickety black shadow not far away walking towards this side with a stack of things.
"Uh, yes...... Pls are you ......"
In response to the words, the black shadow had already come to Ye Jing, and after looking at it, it turned out to be a very tall boy, only to see that he was hunched back and slightly chested, and his arms were slender and slender holding a stack of leaflets, covered with bulging green tendons. Visually measuring her height of nearly one meter nine, Ye Jing had to look up, but even so, the boy's long bangs still prevented her from seeing her true face. However, judging from the boy's slightly purple lip color, it is not difficult to imagine that he should have big dark circles.
"The lighting here hasn't been very normal, be careful when you walk the stairs......" the boy said slowly, "Since you're here to sign up for the club, are you interested in joining my spiritual ability training club?"
"Huh...... Training?" Ye Jing broke out in a cold sweat.
"Yes, everyone's untapped superpower, and the purpose of our club is to find a way to activate it!"
The boy's face was serious when he said this, so that Ye Jing didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
"Hug ...... I'm sorry...... Although there is some interest, we already have a club that we want to sign up for......" Liu Lian interjected as she pulled down the corner of Ye Jing's clothes and motioned for her to run away.
Ye Jing hurriedly cooperated: "Ah...... Yes, thank you for your attention......"
"Oh...... That's a pity......" the boy muttered to himself, "It's a pity you can't learn superpowers......"
Ye Jing nodded with a smile on her face.
It's a pity! Superpowers! I won't play anymore after graduating from elementary school, okay! How obsessed are you! You even played in college? You even opened a club to play?!
"In that case, can I ask you for a favor......" The boy still didn't give up, pouted, and motioned for Ye Jing and Liu Lian to take a copy of the flyer he was holding, "You can keep this, if you think of anything, you must contact me." ”
"Uh...... ......"As long as you can get out of here, you can say yes!"
The girls quickly stepped on the stairs and went upstairs as if they were plagued, and on the way, Ye Jing subconsciously glanced at the flyer in his hand, which was a portrait of a girl, but the painting was not clear. There is a paragraph attached to the portrait of the girl, which roughly means that if you dream of this girl, please contact him.
"I dreamed of a ghost ......" Ye Jing crumpled the paper into a ball and asked casually, "Liu Lian, what about you?"
"Huh?!"
Liu Lian's high-decibel response made Ye Jing couldn't help frowning: "Ouch...... My ears ......"
"Please......" Liu Lian looked like a goldfish with her cheeks puffed out, "This gloomy building, and the person just now, has already made me very nervous, okay, don't talk to me suddenly at every turn!!"
"I apologize~~I apologize~~" Ye Jing snorted, "Have you dreamed of this girl?"
"I've seen a ghost in my dream!" Liu Lian replied angrily, and when Ye Jing turned around, she folded the flyer a few times and put it in her pocket.
I had heard Sister Luqi mention that the ghost building was a wasteland for banishing marginal societies, but now that she has seen it with her own eyes, it can be regarded as an eye-opener.
On the way along the corridor to find Senior Li Ming, Ye Jing saw a lot of bizarre societies along the way, such as the Treasure Excavation Society of the Old World, the Legendary Monster Cultivation Society, the Apocalypse and Death Society, the Rice Eating Better Than Wheat Seminar Society, etc., so that when she suddenly saw the nameplate of Li Ming's lively and talented beauty society, she unexpectedly felt that this name was actually quite good.
"Is this school going to approve any kind of club?" Ye Jing sighed as soon as she entered the room.
"Yo, you're finally here~~" Qin Zhaole made two cups of tea and beckoned the girls to take a seat, "Have you opened your eyes?"
Li Ming sat opposite the girls with his chin on a gloomy face: "Yes, in the eyes of outsiders, our club and those brain-disabled societies are in the same category......
"Uh......" The senior's slightly angry tone made Ye Jing a little overwhelmed.
"So!" Li Ming threw out two registration forms, "You have to work hard~~"
Taking advantage of the time for the girls to fill out the form, Li Ming began to introduce the members of the club.
"The main members of the club are here, I am the president, then the two of Chao Qin and Duchu, and then you ......."
"Uh, aren't the two seniors from the IT club?" Ye Jing couldn't help asking, "Can you serve as multiple clubs at the same time?"
"Oh...... In principle, there is really no limit that each student can only participate in one club,......" Chu Mu explained, "But in fact, people's energy is limited, if there is a conflict between the two club activities you participate in at the same time, someone will be unhappy if you give up whichever one, right?"
"Of course, there are also the kind of ghost members who are named in a bunch of clubs but never contribute. Qin Zhao then added: "But the rare college life, I don't think you will be so wasted, right?"
"That's right!" Liu Lian nodded in agreement.
"Besides, the dormitory management committee is affiliated with the student union, and it does not belong to the category of clubs, so ...... How do you say it......" Qin Zhao smacked: "For example, this is a tolerance!"
"That's right, as you can see, in this liberal university town, the management undertaken by the school is actually not very binding...... "You sing and I will take the stage, and then it will be Li Ming's turn to speak," As far as the division of labor is concerned, the school holds the main power of faculty, scientific research, finance, etc., and the daily management is basically delegated to the various units under the student union, in addition to their IT department, there are also various departments such as catering, hygiene, health care, environmental protection, etc., and its main staff is more on duty by the students in turn, just like military service. ”
"Uh...... It's quite complicated......" Ye Jing heard a little foggy.
Qin Zhao shrugged: "However, because of the large number of people on duty in these public units of the student union, most of the time they are actually very idle, and basically this is our main business." ”
Li Ming paused slightly, and after Ye Jing and Liu Lian digested what they just said a little, he added, "Then there are many honorary members I won't introduce them one by one, because idol work involves all aspects, so we have a little bit of contact with other functional clubs, basically those clubs also have our people, after all, there are many friends and many roads, and I will introduce them to you when I meet them at work." ”
It's true that as my father said, college is a small society. Ye Jing couldn't help but sigh with emotion, unconsciously, a fledgling motivation ignited in her heart.
"Okay~~" Ye Jing pushed the completed form and clenched her fist, "So, as an official member of the Talented and Beautiful Society, what is the first task?"
Li Mingyi clapped his hands: "Okay! Energetic! I like it!"
