Chapter 40: Common Ground
As some of the deceased's files came out, I found out that some of the deceased in the past were not all people who lived in Building 17, and although most of them were boys, there were also many girls.
This confirmed my first suspicion that the curse was not specific to the sex of the deceased, and whether it intersected with Building 17.
The materials brought by Lao Pan are all the investigation materials from the previous investigation of this matter, and they are all about the scope of the deceased's activities before his death, and the people who had close contact with him, which is exactly what I wanted.
The file plus the survey data, I carefully looked at the information recorded on the two materials, and did not miss a single detail.
Finally, I discovered the relationship that existed between these deceased, and they could indeed be connected with different intermediaries!
Even I found out that Song Liang also had some connections with the previous deceased, one of the deceased turned out to be his fellow countrymen, and Song Liang's younger brother was one of Song Liang's classmates in high school, and this classmate was also in our school.
All these dead who died with a smile, as long as there are enough intermediaries, can connect them together!
This confirms my last hypothesis that the dead had intermediaries connecting them.
In other words, people who have died under a curse have directly or indirectly come into contact with the previous curse.
So the question is, why didn't these intermediaries fall under the curse, and I can now be sure that the curse has nothing to do with time, place, or gender, which means that the spread of the curse is only related to people.
At the thought of this, my breathing almost stopped, because I guessed an astonishing conclusion - those middlemen had been cursed before!
But these middlemen who fell under the curse inadvertently cracked the curse! That's why they'll be safe and sound.
My mind raced, and I wondered what these people had done unintentionally to break the curse.
Just when I was puzzled, my eyes fell on the three people beside me, and the blood in my body instantly coagulated: these three people are also intermediaries!
As long as I know what the three of them did or said to the deceased in the days before their deaths, I may be able to find the answer.
So I immediately put away the information in my hand, turned my head and said, "Principal Yu, Lao Pan, Pan Yang, now you have to tell in detail what you did together in the three days before the deceased's death, and say every word you have said. ”
The three of them froze and looked at me puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”
I was in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "Don't ask so much first, I will soon know the truth about the death of the smile." ”
Seeing my solemn expression, the three of them nodded, glanced at each other, and Principal Yu said, "I'll talk about it first." ”
Principal Yu said: In recent days, because the leaders of the Education Bureau have also learned that there are dead people who died with a smile in the school, so in order to prevent the impact of the matter from expanding, they asked me to thoroughly investigate the truth of the matter and solve the matter.
For this matter, Principal Yu was anxious and worried, unable to eat or sleep well, and his mental condition was very bad, and his lover was very worried about his body when he saw Principal Yu like this.
So, Principal Yu's lover asked him what had happened, and Principal Yu was distressed, so he told his lover about it, and his lover also knew that the school had died with a smile before.
She said that there was really a ghost in this matter, and if she could invite another master to come and take a look.
After that, Principal Yu told me about the female ghost on the sixth floor that I had said, and told my lover that I would solve this matter, and also said that I had the magic power of word measurement and fortune telling.
At that time, his lover comforted him, saying that since there are students who know how to subdue ghosts, there is no need to worry too much, and said that I will definitely solve this matter.
Principal Yu was relieved a little when he heard his lover's comfort, but he didn't think about it, just a day later, his lover died with a smile.
After Principal Yu finished speaking, Lao Pan continued: I also found the director in the past two days, and there was another death in the school, so I naturally wanted to report it, in fact, the director also had a headache about this matter, but he still firmly believed that this was a man-made criminal case, saying that all this was caused by the murderer using some unknown poison to harm people.
The director asked Lao Pan to continue to investigate the matter, but Lao Pan had no choice but to tell the director about the female ghost on the sixth floor that I told him, but the director still didn't believe it, saying that it was all rumors.
After Lao Pan finished speaking, Pan Yang was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly thought of something, and said nervously: "You said that there was a smiling deceased in our school, is it Xiao Ling... He hadn't been to the classroom in days, and he wasn't seen in the dormitory. ”
After Pan Yang finished speaking, the three of us remembered that the news of Xiao Ling's death was only known to the three of us, but now Pan Yang had been involved, so we had to tell him the matter: "Yes, Xiao Ling also died with a smile a few days ago." ”
After receiving our affirmative answer, Pan Yang was a little stunned and muttered, "It turns out that this is true." ”
I saw that Pan Yang's face was a little wrong, and my heart suddenly tightened, and said, "You mean that there are still people who know about this?" ”
As soon as I said this, Lao Pan and Principal Yu also became nervous, if there were other people who knew about this, I was afraid that the news of the death that they had painstakingly blocked would be in vain, and they looked at Pan Yang suspiciously and nervously, waiting for Pan Yang to continue.
Seeing that our eyes were weird, Pan Yang hesitated for a moment before muttering: "Actually, the haunting of our seventeenth building has spread in the school, and many students are discussing this matter in private. ”
"How so?" Principal Yu and Lao Pan lost their voices at the same time.
At this time, Pan Yang looked at me: "Qin Guang, you forgot that after Song Liang's death, the boys in our two dormitories went to the sixth floor together after listening to Xiao Ling say that Song Liang was talking to a girl on the sixth floor, and since then, this matter has spread privately in the school, and I have also told people about it, but most people regard this incident as a ghost story and don't care at all." ”
I realized now, yes, there were eleven people who had been to the sixth floor that day, including me and Xiao Ling, and there would definitely be people who would tell this as a joke.
Pan Yang continued: "When I went out with my girlfriend yesterday, we chatted and talked about this topic, and she said that she had only heard that our boys' dormitory was haunted, and she didn't know the full version of the whole story, so she wanted to hear me tell it." ”
Pan Yang also said that when he left the dormitory, he saw the story I recorded about the baby girl on the desk, and thought it was quite scary, so he added fuel and vinegar to tell his girlfriend the story of the baby girl along with the haunting on the sixth floor.
As soon as Pan Yang finished speaking, my eyes widened suddenly, because I finally found the biggest thing that the three of them had in common.
I remembered, when Xiao Ling died, I mentioned the female ghost in the principal's office, and I also told Xiao Ling in detail about the encounter with the female ghost, at that time the principal and Lao Pan were extremely surprised, and after I said it, they knew about the existence of the female ghost Lian Xin'er.
This shows that they didn't know about the sixth floor before.
And Pan Yang too, not only did he know about the female ghost on the sixth floor, but he also saw the content of the two dreams I wrote on the paper about the baby girl!
"By the way, Qin Guang, I remembered, after I saw the story you wrote, I didn't feel anything at first, but the more I thought about it, the more terrifying I felt, and my girlfriend had a nightmare after hearing this story." At this time, Pan Yang said again.
I was shocked: "Then did she tell you what kind of nightmare it was!" ”
"I said that I dreamed of the scene where I appeared in the dream, and I also saw the baby girl you wrote." Pan Yangdao.
It was the first nightmare I had after being cursed!
As soon as Pan Yang said it, I knew it, and I hurriedly asked again: "Did you have a nightmare before telling this story to your girlfriend again!" ”
"I haven't slept all the time, how can I dream, you also know that it was the first time I spent the night with my girlfriend, and I couldn't sleep at all when I was excited, and then I was too tired to sleep..."
I had a terrible guess in my mind, and I could feel that I was about to grasp the truth of the curse, the truth was close to me, but I was not sure yet.
I hurriedly looked at Principal Yu and Lao Pan: "Have you ever had a nightmare recently, especially Principal Yu, you said that you were woken up by a nightmare before your lover died, right?" ”
Principal Yu and Lao Pan were stunned for a moment, and after a while, Principal Yu and Lao Pan relieved themselves and nodded at the same time: "Yes, I did have a nightmare. ”
The two of them said about their nightmares almost at the same time, which made them look at each other in disbelief.
I said with some excitement: "Tell me about the nightmare." ”
So Principal Yu spoke first about the content of the nightmare, and when Principal Yu was halfway through the story, Lao Pan and Pan Yang on the side had already widened their eyes, and their eyes were full of shock!
Then, Lao Pan told the second half of the nightmare, and Principal Yu was also shocked.
They did the same nightmare!
Pan Yang was surprised and said, "Qin Guang, isn't this the story you wrote!" ”
As soon as they finished speaking, I understood that these three people were also cursed people, but two of them broke the curse after the first nightmare, while Pan Yang had already unlocked the curse before he slept, and the three of them became the middlemen in the curse!
If I'm in the same situation as the three of them, wouldn't I have lifted the curse now!
Unlike them, all I have left is the final dream, and if my guess is wrong, then I will die, and if my guess is right, then the truth about the curse will be revealed!
I hesitated for a long time, and finally made up my mind: I was going to gamble with my life, and my guess was right about the truth about the curse!
