Chapter 1: The Strange Lamp of Life

"Xiangyang Street" is located in the center of T City, is the most prosperous commercial street pedestrian street in T City, with all kinds of shops in the street, from clothing accessories to household appliances and furniture.

But there is both "Xiangyang" and there will always be "back", no, a few panicked and pale girls ghostly walked into the alley between the two buildings, still looking around from time to time, as if they were afraid of seeing or being seen.

This alley is very deep and narrow, the tall buildings on both sides almost cover all the light that wants to penetrate in, the gloomy one is like entering another space, diametrically opposed to the bustling scene outside, forming two contrasting worlds, although there are some shops in the alley, but most of them are locked doors, dust and cobwebs are all over, even if there are few open doors, there are basically no guests, two or three people are standing at the door and chatting about leisure, and even more with fly swatters in their hands, also didn't deliberately look at the few "uninvited guests" who suddenly broke in from beginning to end.

The messy footsteps of "Click" did not stop for a moment, and there was a tendency to speed up, and the footsteps seemed to step on the hearts of several girls, who were so tight that they wanted to take off their shoes and run wildly, but no one was willing to speak to break this unusual silence.

But no matter how deep the alley is, it is only an alley, and there will always be a time to go to the end - there is no way out at the end, a thick wall lies in the middle of the road, stopping the footsteps of several people, and the slightly taller girl in the lead is stunned for a moment, and the kung fu of this pause almost makes the three girls who are in a trance and do not pay attention to the road conditions push down.

"Where?" The girl in the red dress in the back trembled and grabbed the arm of the person next to her, her hands were full of sweat, but her palms were surprisingly cold, and the short girl she grabbed was no better, and her arms were pinched with bright red striped finger marks but she didn't feel pain.

The tall girl looked around, and suddenly saw a lacquered mahogany door on the left-hand side, and it was not an exaggeration to say that she had seen it suddenly, because it seemed to have fallen from the sky, and it appeared the moment she turned her head.

This lacquered mahogany door is very peculiar, the left half of the door is like a new lacquer, delicate as fire, bright red, but the right half of the door is actually broken, mottled like an old man who is about to die in the wood, lingering and panting, as if it turned into powder at a light touch.

Although it was so strange, several people couldn't care about their curiosity, and they all looked up, and the black-brown plaque that couldn't see what material was written on the plaque with gold paint in a decent manner.

"That's it." The tall girl nodded, among the panicked girls, she seemed to be the calmer one, stepped forward and knocked on the knocker, expectantly and nervously waiting for someone to answer the door.

The door squeaked and slowly opened, and the four girls suddenly held their breath and looked into the door, but they didn't see half a figure except for the darkness, and when they were hesitating to go in, there was a sound of Xi Xi Suo in the door, and then a clear voice that surprised everyone sounded: "Come in." There was some hesitation, but in the end the tall girl stretched out her white, bloodless hand and opened the left half of the door, which was as red as blood, and took the hand of the person behind her, and carefully stepped over a high, somewhat exaggerated threshold, and walked into the room.

As if stepping on some mysterious mechanism, when the last girl crossed the threshold, the lights in the room suddenly turned on, shaking so that people couldn't open their eyes, and immediately covered it with their hands, and it took a while to get used to it, and then to look at the surrounding environment. To the surprise of the four girls, they thought that this kind of place should be more mysterious or antique, but in addition to the door and the plaque on the door, the interior was very modern, with bright chandeliers and stylish wallpaper...... There's even a photo wall! The sofa is also this year's popular light gray fabric with a large reclining bed!

Looking at the girls with pale faces but unable to hide their curiosity, the thin and tall man leaning next to the bar smiled at the corner of his mouth, and picked up the coffee on the table without saying a word, and was just about to bring it to his mouth, when a cold voice without a trace of emotion came from the back hall, "Which side did you touch?" This non-obsessive question caused the four girls to wake up from a dream, only to see that there was still a person standing at the bar.

"Sit." The man didn't answer the man's question in the back hall, but just beckoned and let the girls onto the couch.

"Hello, we were introduced by Mr. Qin, and he said that you can help us solve some ...... Something incredible. The tall girl said timidly, staring at the tall, thin man with a smile on the opposite side with a little caution.

The tall and thin man looked at the four girls in front of him, and frowned slightly, although these four girls looked different and dressed very differently, but there was one thing that was strikingly similar, that is, the top of the Yin Hall was all blue and black, except for the light above his head was still faintly on, the two lights on his shoulders had turned into bright green fire.

Everyone has three life lamps, one on the top of the head, one on the left and right shoulders, these three lamps are very important to people, the more the lamp burns, the stronger the person's fortune, the healthier the body, of course, it is also inviolable. On the contrary, if a person's three lamps are burned very weakly, it proves that he is going to be unlucky, if one is extinguished, the problem is even more troublesome, even if this person does not die, he will shed his skin, and even if the three lamps are destroyed, even if the Daluo Immortal will not be able to save his life. If you walk on the road in the middle of the night, someone calls your name, don't look back, if you turn around, the lights on your shoulders and overhead will be blown out immediately, and the dirty things will entangle this person, and your life will be half gone in the moment you turn your head. Some people will also ask, can't the lights be lit when they go out? The answer is, of course, yes, when the sun rises, the yang energy rises, and the yin energy falls, bask in the sun more, and the lights that have been extinguished will naturally be rekindled.

But the life lamp of these four girls is really weird, not to mention that the weak one on the top of the head is about to go out, that is, this shoulder lamp is no longer a thing in the yang world, but the blame is that although they look more yin, they are still alive and well, if this is according to the general situation, the yang lamp on the shoulder has become a yin lamp has died a thousand times.

"Can you tell me about the experiences of a few people first, and I can make a judgment first." The tall and thin man spoke directly without any superfluity, and he didn't want to make superfluous polite gestures, he also knew that the ones who could introduce them must be the previous guests, and the relationship between him and the guests was very clear, and they would not overstep, and they would not become friends, and the most important thing was that he also wanted to know what happened to them, so they became the weird and inexplicable state they are in now.

The girls glanced at each other, not expecting the tall and thin man to cut straight to the point, but thinking about it, what was normal since entering this alley, no, perhaps it should be said that nothing was normal after they went through "that incident".

There was no twisting or spitting, the tall girl told the story, although there were thousands of people who did not want to recall what happened at that time, but if they wanted to live, they had to say it, and since she entered here, she was not as scared as before, and she did not have the sense of peeping that she could feel every day before.

The tall girl introduced the names of the four people, her name is Zhou Yanran, the one in the red dress is called Dang Ningning, the short one is called Liu Mengmeng, and the short-haired girl who has a weak sense of existence from beginning to end is called Zhao Xinling, all four of them are sophomores at the School of Foreign Languages of X University, they are roommates and good friends, and the cause of the incident is all because of the playfulness and super curiosity of several people, and the next story is both thrilling and cliché.

Perhaps many college students have some uneasy factors hidden in their psychology, they like to take risks, pursue excitement, and want to look different. Zhou Yanran is the same, when the new and exciting days of college life have passed, it is inevitable that there will be more boredom and boring, which makes her like to pursue novelty at a loss, when she first entered the freshman year, she felt that every day was fulfilling, busy making friends, busy with club activities, busy learning about this strange city. But when everything started to get out of the way, she started to get bored and wanted to find new thrills......

On this day, she returned to the dormitory and found several people talking intently, and she didn't even notice that she had come in.

"Really, really, really?" Liu Mengmeng was lying on the back of the chair and asked Dang Ningning who was sitting opposite excitedly.

Dang Ningning pretended to lower his body mysteriously, his eyes walked back and forth between Liu Mengmeng and Zhao Xinling, hooked the corners of his mouth and said just about to say something, Zhou Yanran suddenly interjected and asked curiously: "What are you talking about, what did you really see?" Immediately, the other three people were frightened, and when they saw that it was her, they complained one after another.

waited for the three of them to ease their emotions, and then asked Zhou Yanran to sit down and start the topic again.

It turned out that a few of them were chatting about the "spirit exploration style" that has become popular in the school recently, and I don't know when it started, there were always groups of people in pairs or groups of three or five shuttling back and forth to the secluded places on campus to play some small games of "summoning spirits".

And Dang Ningning was talking about one of their seniors at this time, and the senior was also a fun-loving person, and he would never miss anything interesting, so he simply found a few like-minded people and ran to 705, 705, on the 7th floor of the administrative building of the School of Foreign Languages, to play the "psychic" game, but often walk by the river without getting their shoes wet, and several people were vaguely aware that something was secretly staring at them, and that feeling made people feel a kind of indescribable creepy, so a few people hurriedly made birds and beasts scatter, Afterwards, the few people who knew about it also frequently praised the seniors for their boldness, not for anything else, because the 703 classroom next door to 705 on the 7th floor of the administrative building of the School of Foreign Languages is a bit famous.
