Chapter 6: The Unruly Notebook
At eight o'clock in the morning, Xiaoyan's alarm clock rang, waking up Xiaoyan and Chen Jia in their sleep. After getting up and washing, Xiaoyan and Chen Jia went out for breakfast.
"Jiajia, I'll go to the hospital to see Xiaoxiao later." Eating breakfast, Xiaoyan began to talk about her next plans, "I probably won't be able to come back at noon, you have to eat lunch by yourself." You can't stop eating without my supervision! ”
"Hmm." Chen Jia responded and continued to eat the noodles in front of him.
After breakfast, Xiaoyan packed up her things and went to the hospital, and Chen Jia, who was alone in the dormitory, waited for a while, and only after making sure that Xiaoyan would not run back because she forgot something, she locked the bedroom door. According to what Li Xiaoxiao said yesterday, he found the key and opened the drawer by the way.
The notebook was placed in a drawer, and the skull on the cover looked like a real one, which startled Chen Jia. Although it was just a notebook, Chen Jia felt terrible when he looked at it. Looking at the open drawer, Chen Jia has been struggling in her heart, because she is afraid, Chen Jia does not dare to take the notebook.
After standing at the table for a long time, Chen Jiacai took a deep breath and walked to the open drawer as stiffly and slowly as a robot. Looking at the skull on the notebook, Chen Jia chose to close her eyes, and reached out with a trembling hand to pick up the notebook. Because her eyes were closed, Chen Jia didn't see it, and when she touched the notebook, the skull on it changed, from no expression to a smiling appearance.
Chen Jia trembled and put the notebook into the backpack before breathing a sigh of relief, and even couldn't help wiping the sweat oozing from the nervousness on his forehead. With a backpack with a notebook on his back, Chen Jia went out to find a suitable place to burn things, after all, burning in the bedroom is easy to be found and punished.
After walking around the campus and not finding anything suitable, Chen Jia prepared to go out of the campus to find out. But on the way out of the campus, I found a small forest, which was very remote and there was no one in it. Although Chen Jia couldn't understand why she didn't see it when she searched for it before, she thought that she was in a hurry when she was looking for it before, and she still entered the woods.
In order to prevent the occurrence of fire, Chen Jia divided a separation zone around the things to be burned, and after all the fallen leaves and branches were removed, Chen Jia lit the fire with dead leaves. Because of Chen Jia's fear, the notebook was not torn open and burned, but the whole book was thrown into the fire.
At the same time, Luo Xiaoyan, who went to visit Li Xiaoxiao in the hospital, had already bought snacks and walked into the inpatient building happily. Because he knew that Li Xiaoxiao was in the ward, he didn't need to ask the front desk nurse and walked directly to the ward.
However, in ward 510, Xiaoyan didn't see Li Xiaoxiao, and the ward was empty, as if no one lived in it. Seeing such a scene, Xiaoyan walked out with some surprise, and her expression was a little dazed after confirming that the ward number was not wrong. After thinking that she might have misremembered the ward, Xiaoyan stuck out her tongue a little embarrassed and went to the front desk to ask the nurse about the correct ward.
In the academy grove, the notebook was swept into flames, and the black cover seemed to be turning red due to the flames. Chen Jia watched a little nervously, adding dead leaves and branches from time to time to keep the flames alive. But as the flames continued to burn, the notebook did not show any signs of being burned except for getting more and more infrared.
Seeing that the notebook didn't seem to burn, Chen Jia felt even more scared, even in the daytime, Chen Jia had a cold feeling behind her, as if she was being stared at by someone. Chen Jia's body trembled for a while, and he ran out of the isolation zone and began to pick up dead leaves and branches, wanting to increase the flames.
At this time, in the hospital, Xiaoyan had already arrived at the front desk, and the nurse smiled at Xiaoyan with a very good service attitude.
"Hello, I want to ask, is there a patient named Li Xiaoxiao, is she living in Ward 510?" Seeing the nurse's smile, Xiaoyan also smiled a little embarrassedly, "That, I don't know if I'm mistaken, I remember that she lived in ward 510, but I just went over and saw that it was an empty ward." So please help me check which ward Li Xiaoxiao lives in? ”
"Okay, please wait a minute!" After the nurse at the front desk finished speaking, she began to look it up on the record.
Xiaoyan lay on the table and looked at the record book in the nurse's hand: "Don't worry, you look for it slowly." ”
After a while, the nurse looked at the record in the notebook and put away the smile on her face: "I'm sorry, is the Li Xiaoxiao you are looking for a student from Qingluan College who was sent to the hospital on the afternoon of the 15th?" ”
"Yes, that's her, which ward is she in?" After finding out Li Xiaoxiao's information, Xiaoyan seemed very happy.
The nurse's expression became even stricter: "She did live in Ward 510 before her death, but unfortunately, she was found dead in the ward at 6:37 this morning, please mourn!" ”
The sudden news made Xiaoyan's smile freeze on her face, and the whole person didn't react as if she was frozen. After a long time, Xiaoyan stiffened her neck and turned to the notebook in the nurse's hand: "Mistaken, she is just malnourished, how could she die?" ”
The nurse sighed and placed the notebook in front of Xiaoyan, which read: Died at 6:37 a.m. on September 17, 2015. The facts were laid out in front of her eyes, and the plastic bag containing the snacks in Xiaoyan's hand fell, and she herself took a few steps back, her eyes full of disbelief.
"Mistaken, must be mistaken!" Xiaoyan shouted with tears in her eyes, "She must be in another ward, she is mistaken, yes, she is mistaken, I will find her myself, I will find her by myself!" ”
Before the words fell, Xiaoyan ran to the ward, running in one ward after another, and then ran out in disappointment. The nurse who helped Xiaoyan check the records wanted to stop her, but was stopped by the head nurse who rushed to find someone and let Xiaoyan shuttle through the ward to find someone.
And Chen Jia, who still doesn't know about it in the academy, is still burning a notebook according to what Li Xiaoxiao said, wanting to save Li Xiaoxiao's life. Chen Jia took a large pile of dead leaves and branches back into the isolation circle, and threw the dead leaves and branches in his arms into the fire.
While the notebook was covered with dead leaves and branches, tongues of fire also swept up, almost setting Chen Jia's clothes on fire. But fortunately, Chen Jia reacted in time, but the corners of her clothes were burned. A large number of dead leaves and branches were ignited, and the flames burned. However, the notebook in the fire still showed no signs of burning, but the black of the cover was burned to a fiery red. However, the gray-white skull on the cover, which resembled a real skull, turned dark black at this time.
"If you want to destroy the things of the god of death, damn it!" Suddenly, an angry but inaudible male or female voice came from above the flames, "I was just going to fetch a soul, and I was burned by a damn little guy, and if the damn people knew about it, they wouldn't know how to laugh at me!" What a damn little girl! ”
The sudden sound appeared, and after Chen Jia looked for a long time and didn't see anyone, he was so frightened that he immediately ran out of the woods.
"Damn little girl, burn me, do you think you can still run?" The voice of the unknown man and woman sounded angrily again. At the same time, Chen Jia's body was also immobile as if it had been frozen.
"Give me back!" With the sound, Chen Jia's body flew back to the fire uncontrollably. That's right, that's right, it's flying back, with both feet off the ground, back in front of the fire in mid-air.
Such a bizarre scene made Chen Jia's body tremble uncontrollably, and even tears were scared out. Back in front of the fire, Chen Jia finally saw the person who spoke, no, it shouldn't be called a human, or a ghost is more appropriate. Because the body is illusory, although he wears a black robe that covers his body, even the black robe is illusory, and the sunlight falling between the leaves can fall through the black robe. And there was an illusory soul beside the black-robed ghost, but his eyes were dull, as if he had lost his mind.
"Xiao ...... Xiao ...... "Looking at the soul body beside the black-robed ghost, Chen Jia couldn't believe what he saw.
However, Chen Jia's reaction The black-robed ghost didn't care, and just waved his hand, causing the notebook in the fire to fly out of the range of flames. After the notebook was safe, the black-robed ghost looked at the fire and frowned: "It's a pity if this fire is extinguished." ”
When the words fell, the black-robed ghost looked at Chen Jia by the fire, and then let out a burst of oozing laughter. Suddenly, a cloudy wind blew through the woods, and the wind swept across the skin as if it were in winter snow.
And in Chen Jia's incredulous gaze, the flames were blown towards her body by the wind. Although the wind was cold, it made the flames bigger and bigger, and the dead leaves and branches that were swept up burned with it, causing a sea of fire to appear in front of Chen Jia. The flames swept away, and Chen Jia's body was quickly engulfed, along with the notebook that flew out of the fire before, and was enveloped in flames again.
When his body was engulfed in flames, Chen Jia saw the notebook blown open by the wind, and each page of bright red paper flew out. After the handwriting on it was burned by the flames, the paper returned to the notebook in white color, and in the lower right corner of each page there was a flower swaying in the fire.
The last page flew the farthest and landed directly in front of Chen Jia, and Chen Jia could see the handwriting on it clearly.
Deceased: Li Xiaoxiao
Death charge: jealousy
Mode of death: pulmonary embolism caused by a mixture of drugs
Time of death: 6:15 a.m. on September 17, 2015
Executor: Grim Reaper
The flames were blazing, the last page turned white, and the flowers on the other side swayed back into the notebook. As the notebook closed, Chen Jia, who was burned by the flames, finally closed his eyes, and his life ended.
The illusory chains of the black-robed ghost fell, bringing the equally illusory Chen Jia's soul body out of his body, and leaving the area with Chen Jia and Li Xiaoxiao's soul bodies.
And instead of dying out, the flames swept away the entire forest. The notebook left behind by the black-robed man had long since turned black, lying quietly at the original fire. Because of the isolation zone that Chen Jia had divided before, the notebook never came into contact with the flames again.
