Chapter 1: The Midnight Bells
Founded in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, Shishan University has a history of more than 100 years. There are also some teaching buildings and dormitories built with the aid of the Soviet Union in the fifties and sixties, which have also been used to this day.
The staggered interweaving of different styles of buildings makes the campus more historic, and has also made the University of Lion Mountain a well-known tourist attraction, and has always been the ideal university for generations of students.
September is the orientation season of the year, and the student union is starting to be busy and starting the annual work of welcoming new students. Zhang Yu, as the newly appointed president of the student union, must have been so busy these days that he didn't even have time to eat, and there were too many things for him to decide. It was also the first time for him to preside over the orientation work, and there were too many places that he did not prepare in advance, but fortunately, the members of the student union were all active and hard-working juniors, which made him feel a lot more stable.
In the face of a wave of new students, it is necessary to separate them according to their departments and then guide them to the reception of the student union of each department, which is especially important for the school, and how to give a good impression to the new students is also a headache for Zhang Yu.
There are many rumors about Lion Mountain University, especially a series of strange rumors on campus. As the official body of the school, the Student Council has an important responsibility to curb the spread of such false rumors.
Just as the third day of orientation was coming to an end, four girls came, and it just so happened that because the dormitory allocation was almost over, four girls from different majors were divided into a mixed dormitory, which opened the prelude to this story.
The first to go to the dormitory was Yuqing, she was a freshman in law school, and she chatted with her aunt for most of the day when she checked in downstairs, and she was a very enthusiastic short-haired beauty. A few seniors who helped carry the luggage were eager to try, a few people, you push me, I pushed you, three times and twice wanted her phone number, no one dared to move, until they entered the bedroom door and did not move, and finally silently shook their heads and walked away. With a temperament beauty like Yuqing, I'm afraid few boys can have the confidence and courage to talk to her.
This also includes Li Jie.
He is one of the boys who sent Yuqing to the dormitory, a sophomore this year, and a student of law school, so he is Yuqing's direct senior. Looking at the beautiful elementary school girl, he also had a strong urge to get to know her, but based on the frustration of several previous failures, he finally held back. A beautiful girl like her can only be conquered by a tall, handsome and well-known senior like Zhang Yu, Li Jie thought silently, and he couldn't give up on the way back.
Luo Hao and Liu Sen, who were traveling together, seemed to see something, sighed to each other, and stopped talking. Li Jie, an ordinary student who is not outstanding in appearance and is poor, is not worthy of the pretty and refined Yuqing in any way. The two of them felt sorry for a while, there is no grass at the end of the world, why should they love a flower.
"Hey, bro, look away." Luo Hao patted Li Jie on the shoulder and said.
Li Jie's face flushed, and he wanted to say something to explain, but Luo Hao and Liu Sen had expressions that I understood, and forced him to swallow his words back, but his heart was even more uncomfortable.
The group of three returned to the school gate, and this time three more girls happened to report for duty.
Luo Hao saw a long-legged girl from a distance, patted Liu Sen's head excitedly and said: "Look at it, look at it, that school girl is in such a good figure, I rely on it, and her face is not bad, why does this kind of girl appear in our school, it's not scientific!" He laughed obscenely as he spoke, and he was about to fall to the ground.
Liu Sen had a disgusted expression, wanting to keep a distance from him, but he never thought that Luo Hao's hands were too tight, and he kept holding on to his clothes, and he couldn't break free for a while. Luo Hao's voice suddenly attracted the attention of the three girls opposite, and Liu Sen suddenly felt extremely embarrassed, it was enough to know such a loss.
The two of them looked at Li Jie with a look of being out of his mind, it seemed that he was really hooked by that Yuqing. To put it bluntly, it's lovesick, and it's unrequited love, and if it goes on like this, it will be scrapped.
But there is no other way, after all, it is a heart disease, and others can't help if they want to, so he can only come out on his own.
"Hey, you three, come and help send these three elementary school girls to Building 4 of the girls' dormitory." Zhang Yu, the president of the student union, shouted not far away.
"Here we go!" Luo Hao replied and ran over very actively.
Of course he didn't let go of a beautiful woman, even if he couldn't say a word, he recognized it.
The three of them carried their heavy luggage and took the three students and began to walk towards the four girls' dormitories.
Li Jie remembered that Building 4 was Yuqing who lived in Building 404, and she was the only one living in that dormitory, so there were three people down, so she wouldn't be assigned to that bedroom, if that was the case, this coincidence surprised him very much.
When they arrived at the bottom of the 4th building, the aunt in charge received them, then threw out three sets of keys, and said without raising her head: "404 bedroom, you can go up directly." You three boys are going to come down right away if you don't come down and see me! ”
Looking at the aunt in charge of the building with a fierce look, Luo Hao and the three of them were very scared, thinking that such a dominatrix is only available in this building, it is a perfect match.
Because, there is a popular legend about this building.
According to the previous seniors, this girls' dormitory should have a history of more than 100 years and belongs to the Republic of China building. At that time, it was used as a library, but later it was converted into a dormitory due to the expansion of the school. This dormitory is the only one that has been renovated from the library, so it looks different from the rest of the dormitory from the outside, and it feels like it stands out from the crowd.
It is precisely because of this very prominent feeling that the rumors about this building have not been broken by generations of students.
The most widespread is the midnight bell.
When it used to exist as a library, there was actually a mechanical clock on the top floor, but it was later dismantled due to disrepair, and the parts were missing. However, students often report that they can hear the ticking of a clock in the middle of the night, a very old mechanical clock sound.
The school has always believed that this matter is nonsense, and that the school is a holy place for teaching and educating people, not a den of thieves who spread superstitions on the cover, and this kind of road statement is not credible at all. For those who spread similar rumors, the whole school circulated criticism.
The first student who discovered the bell that year was expelled from the school because he made a big fuss, and found a reason to expel him.
The next day, when someone was practicing early in the morning, he found a person lying downstairs in the dormitory, and it was the girl who had been expelled from school.
Her expression was very strange, and she actually had a smile on her face, as if she was mocking people who didn't know the truth.
Later, the school permanently sealed the matter, and it was no longer possible to discuss and disseminate such unscientific evidence.
Of course, it is human nature to be afraid of the unknown, and it is also human nature to have a penchant for gossip. No matter how much the school was locked down, this rumor still circulated, spreading among the student population for a long time.
