"What do you see?" Wang Zhinan heard such a voice.

And because she was so shocked and frightened, her teeth involuntarily began to tremble: "No...... No, I see, I see white roofs, flocks of birds, the earth!"

"And what?" said Michael, staring at him intensely.

"The top of the mountain comes out of the clouds," Wang Zhinan said incoherently, "and the rainbow, and the moon—"

"Elijah saw the birds, the earth," says Michael, "and he was a prophet of the Bible, prophesying the coming of God." ”

After that, Wang Zhinan didn't listen to what he said at all, she hurriedly returned to her seat, packed up her books, and left through the back door.

Wang Zhinan ran all the way to the bedroom, and she suddenly heard the voice of Zhu Hibiscus inside at the door, which seemed to be full of helplessness and despair: "No-please, I can pay it back, give me a little time-"

She pushed open the door and saw Hibiscus fall from her chair and her phone on the ground, turning into a busy voice. She went up and helped Hibiscus up, and both of them saw their pale and frightened faces in each other's eyes.

"What's wrong with you?" Wang Zhinan said, "Did you encounter something?"

"It's a little troublesome, but it's nothing. Zhu Jin said, she quickly fell asleep under the quilt, as if she needed to make up for lack of sleep.

Over the next two days, Hibiscus seemed to call more and more frequently, and every time she heard the ringtone, she was terrified like a bird in a net. She tried not to answer the phone, but it seemed that there were still countless text messages. Jia Manyao and Wang Zhinan both asked her with concern, but she still refused to say anything.

Zhu Jin's situation was told to the dean of academic affairs by Jia Manyao, and the dean of academic affairs was also very concerned and specially called her to talk once, but Wang Zhinan found that after this conversation, Zhu Hibiscus's face seemed to be even more discouraged, and his eyes revealed deep fear and despair.

"There's a ghost! there's a ghost!" Zhu Jinse shrank in the corner of the wall, trembling like chaff: "They're coming!

"Where are the ghosts in broad daylight?" Wang Zhinan and Jia Manyao tried to pull her up from the ground while comforting her. But Zhu Jin was obviously frightened, and she burst into tears.

"This won't work," Wang Zhinan said: "I'll call the school doctor, you can see her here, if it doesn't work, we'll send her to the hospital." ”

Wang Zhinan hurried away, and Zhu Hibiscus seemed to be even more frightened, she waved books and bedding, as if she was fighting against invisible ghosts, Jia Manyao was also hit on the leg by two books, and couldn't help but open the door and wanted to go out and shout.

"I can't live anymore...... won't let me go......" Jia Manyao turned around, only to see that Zhu Jin had jumped up on the window, and turned back to her and smiled desperately: "I have no way out-"

"No—"

Yu Wei followed the crowd to the bottom of the fourth building of the girls' dormitory, and listened to the discussion of everyone, saying that a girl jumped from the fifth floor and fell to the ground with blood and brains splashed on the spot, because she hit her head on the ground. She was a little far away and didn't see a scene of her brain splashing, but when she looked up, the entire dormitory building was lying on her stomach, screaming in panic that someone was dead.

Yu Wei looked up at the fifth floor and found that there was a window squeezing out three heads, two of which had incomplete faces, skin and flesh as if they were dry, eyes were bloody, and even one had a long tongue sticking out.

She couldn't help but shrink, and the hairs on her back stood on end. She didn't dare to take a second look, so she lowered her head and shuttled out of the crowd, but without paying attention, she bumped into a girl who was in a hurry to watch the excitement, and the girl's schoolbag was not buttoned properly, and a round, badge-like thing was called up from it.

Yu Wei picked it up, but she couldn't find anyone.

Police cars soon arrived, cordoned off the building, and the school was immediately thrown into an atmosphere of panic. The police's final autopsy report said that it was indeed a suicide by jumping off a building, and as for why the suicide occurred, it seems that there is a reason.

"It's a campus loan," Yu Wei sat opposite Shen Yuyi, feeling that the heating in the room was as if it hadn't been turned on: "This girl borrowed tens of thousands of yuan for plastic surgery, but she couldn't repay the money on time, and finally owed 200,000 yuan, and she was forced to commit suicide by jumping off the building." ”

"There is no original sin in the online loan itself, and college students who are over 18 years old have independent civil capacity and can borrow money in accordance with market rules," Shen Kuo casually flipped through the book: "Forced by the pressure of high interest on campus loans, he chose to repay the loan by ending his life, it seems——"

"I don't think she couldn't bear the pressure of repaying the loan and died," Yu Wei trembled, "I saw that there seemed to be two ghosts in her bedroom. ”

Shen Yuyi's head lifted from the book, revealing an interested look: "Two ghosts?"

"One of them stretched out his tongue, and the other had a mutilated face," Yu Wei said: "I checked the two girls who died in the school a year ago, and they did die in Building No. 4, and one happened to hang and the other jumped off the building!"

Shen Kuai thought for a while and said, "I remember that a girl hanged herself last year because she was pregnant and was ordered to suspend school, and she was so ashamed that she hanged herself. Another girl who jumped off the building was an accident, it seemed that the textbook was thrown out of the windowsill by her classmates, she stretched out her waist and leaned on the window to pick it up, and just fell down, still hitting the ground. ”

"Is it an accident, or is it man-made?" Yu Wei said: "Why do their souls refuse to leave and still hover over the dormitory building?"

Shen Yuyi didn't speak, he suddenly reached out and took the badge from Yu Wei's fingertips, and said, "What is this?"

"I picked it up. Yu Wei said: "This badge is quite exquisite, but the pattern on it looks so strange." ”

The outermost circle of the badge is a ringed rodent with a galloping deer with a colorful bird hovering above its head.

Shen Kuo looked at it for a long time, and just when Yu Wei thought that he was asleep with his eyes open, he suddenly stood up and took down a book from the bookshelf - Qian Zhongshu's "Tan Yilu".

He flipped through a few pages and seemed to find what he was looking for.

"The ancient custom of Gai West is to use a circle or a snake to show the eternity of time, so there are people in the poems who are called 'round eternal' or 'eternal serpent'. Shen Kuyi read a passage quickly in a tone, Yu Wei did not understand, because Qian Zhongshu wrote in half-written words, so Shen Kuai patiently explained: "There is a story in the West, that a person does not understand the thing of time, and he wants to find someone to answer his doubts, so he crossed the mountains and mountains and witnessed a snake with a tail, a stag, and a phoenix; ”

"So what is engraved on this badge," Yu Wei said, "is it time?"

"Time flies, death comes back to life, eternity. Shen Kui said: "Maybe." ”

He stood up: "Let's go, go to the girls' dormitory." ”

At this time, Wang Zhinan and Jia Manyao were in the Academic Affairs Office, receiving the guidance of Director Li. After all, they are roommates in the same dormitory, and they have lived together for three years, and they are intimate. Of course, there was also a classmate who went abroad for exchange, so there were only three of them in the dormitory, and now there are only two left.

Director Li's relief seemed to make Jia Manyao feel a lot better, and she kept blaming herself for not holding Zhu Jin at that time.

"Zhu Jin's parents will be here tomorrow," Director Li sighed and said, "The school will understand their feelings, but judging from previous examples, I am afraid that there will be a big news again, and the school will definitely have the responsibility, and it will not shirk it." But the school still hopes that the two of you can do ideological work for Zhu Jin's parents, so that they can accept the reality and let go of their grief. ”

Jia Manyao nodded, and Director Li looked at Wang Zhinan, who had been silent, with his head down, and said, "Classmate Wang, what do you think?"

Wang Zhinan raised her head slowly, she met Director Li's eyes, and suddenly shrank, but quickly said, "Listen to the director." ”

"That's good. Director Li was satisfied: "There is one more thing, I want to ask you, what happened, do you want to change the dormitory?"

Jia Manyao was stunned in her heart, it must be impossible to say that there is no taboo, this is the place where there is a human life, even if the person who died is a person she knows very well, but she still feels uncomfortable.

However, before she could speak, Wang Zhinan said: "If you don't change, we don't have to change." ”

As soon as she said this, Jia Manyao also felt that she couldn't wait to change the dormitory at this time, which seemed to be a little cold. She also said: "Don't change, don't change it for the time being." ”

Director Li's eyes reflected an elusive look from behind the lenses, and he showed a smile, but it made Jia Manyao's heart chill for no reason.

"All right," he said, "if you have any other needs, just tell me." ”

Coming out of the Academic Affairs Office, Wang Zhinan's expression became more and more pale, she rushed to the dormitory building with her books in her hand, but she didn't expect Jia Manyao to shrink behind her and said: "I won't go back at night, I'll go to my boyfriend's place, you can also find another dormitory to make do, in the end, I may have to move out in the future." ”

Wang Zhinan didn't say anything, she returned to the dormitory building and found that the several bedrooms next door seemed to be empty and empty.

She pushed open the door of her dormitory and found that there were two people sitting inside, one of whom she still knew, who was the owner of the school's Rotten Ke Book House.

"How did you get in?" Wang Zhinan said, "Who are you looking for?"

"There is the key to the dormitory aunt," Shen Yu grinned: "I don't look for anyone, I just come to see." ”

"Are you watching the news and watching it as a lively?" Wang Zhinan suppressed his anger: "There are dead people here, don't you have a little sympathy, a little public morality?"

"You misunderstood," Yu Wei suddenly found it really difficult to explain: "We came over to see if there was anything we needed help with." Hibiscus's death, in my friend's opinion, did not seem to have been an accident. ”

"The school has come to a conclusion that the runaway girl who is persecuted by the campus loan," Wang Zhinan threw her schoolbag on the bed and said coldly: "Is there any other explanation? There are other reasons?"

"You seem to know something," Yu Wei said cautiously, "Zhu Jin's death is really something else, right?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," Wang Zhinan said: "This is my dormitory, my private space, please leave, don't engage in this kind of gimmick in the future, what do you want to do, write columns or interviews, I won't accept anything." ”

The taste of being blasted out was not pleasant, but Yu Wei and Shen Yuyi were sure that Wang Zhinan did know something, but what they knew, they didn't know.

"There is indeed a trace here," Shen Yuyi plucked a few times in the void like a string, "traces of spelling." ”

Before leaving, Shen Yuyi still took out a talisman and gave it to Wang Zhinan, saying that he hoped it would come in handy, but looking at Wang Zhinan's expression, he seemed to be disdainful, and he had already labeled Shen Zhinan as a magic stick.

Although Yu Wei's work is leisurely, she still has to go to work. In the afternoon, she hurried to the office and did not return home until nine o'clock in the evening, but the sofa that usually attracted her did not seem to impress her, and she put on her coat again and went out of the house.

However, to her disappointment, the door of the Rotten Ke Book House was closed, and she knew that there was no one there, but she still walked closer, and suddenly saw a little light in front of the door—a closer look revealed that it was the moonlight reflected by a small round mirror hanging above the door of the book.

She shook her head and smiled, and was about to leave the path in front of the library.

However, she saw in the grass what seemed to be the back of a man, crouching there, as if looking at the moonlight on the ground. Yu Wei walked over, and she found that there were many Wangshu gathered at this person's feet.

These little creatures seemed to have encountered a grand carnival, and the stars gathered together in a ball, piling up more and more around this person, and even his sleeves were crawling full of Wangshu.

"Strange, how do they perceive this person's sentimentality and talent?" Yu Wei said: "There is no poetry, no chanting, nothing. ”

“There they are， the moon’s young ，trying their ings.” A passage came out of his mouth fluently, like singing: "Beteen trees, a slender oman lifts up the lovely shado of her face, and no she steps into the air."

"lovely lady," he said, smiling at Wei, "you can see the Moon Worm too." ”

"But I can't be like you," Yu Wei saw his handsome face and smiled: "They don't get close to me, it seems that I don't have much talent, and I'm not sensitive." ”

"Whoever can see them," he said, "has a sensitive and delicate heart, and if she wants to, she will be able to write the most beautiful chapters." ”
