Chapter Ninety-Two: The Singing Box
When they entered the B&B, they saw a woman in her early thirties walking towards them with a smile: "You are the students of D University, you have booked a room with me." ”
"Yes, hostess," replied Li Leqi, "can you show us the room?" ”
The woman smiled: "It's all packed, you can come with me." ”
There are only 12 girls in the four classes of the computer department, plus Li Xuanyue, and there are only 12 people in total, one room for each two people, and they contract all the rooms on the second floor.
"That's good." Li Xuanyue sighed, a large floor-to-ceiling window in the room was facing the deep blue lake, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled in it, rippling colorful ripples.
"The girls live on the second floor, but what about the boys?" Li Xuanyue looked at Li Leqi, who was busy packing her luggage.
"The boys in our class all live on the third floor, and the other three classes are arranged in two homestays next door." Li Leqi replied in a flat tone.
Li Xuanyue whispered: "I now kind of understand why you have to call me, you must be unwilling to ...... with other girls."
"Xuanyue," Li Leqi walked up to Li Xuanyue, suddenly put her hands on her shoulders and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have anything you want to talk to me about?" ”
"What are you talking about?" Li Xuanyue was a little uncomfortable by her straight eyes, and twisted her face to the side: "What do you want to ask?" ”
Li Leqi stared at Li Xuanyue: "Have you had any strange feelings recently, such as temporary amnesia......
"What?" Li Xuanyue looked at the girl in front of her, her scrutinizing gaze seemed to want to confirm something.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the house, "Leqi, Teacher Pan told everyone to go downstairs for dinner." ”
"Got it, I'll be right away." Li Leqi responded, and then looked at Li Xuanyue, who had a gloomy face on the side: "Let's go, let's go eat first." ”
The restaurant on the first floor prepared local specialties, all kinds of wild mushrooms and bacon fried together, Li Xuanyue felt unappetizing after eating two bites, so she went to the lake alone.
The temperature difference between morning and evening is very large, and at this time, there is a slight wind on the lake, Li Xuanyue tightens her collar and looks at the lake.
"Wait a minute, there's a bonfire." A male voice sounded behind her, and Li Xuanyue turned her head and saw that it was Qin Mu standing not far from her.
This person made Li Xuanyue feel unpredictable, and her black and white eyes were not shocked.
Seeing that Li Xuanyue just looked over but didn't respond, Qin Mu asked again: "Then you, will you come to participate in a while?" ”
Li Xuanyue nodded and replied, "Okay." ”
The bonfire was held in an open field not far from the lake, and everyone sat together, and the young faces were brightened by the firelight. At this time, the moon was already in the sky, and occasionally a few wisps of clouds drifted by, making the moonlight hazy. Although it was a little cold, everyone's interest was extremely high.
"Squad leader, why didn't you bring that broken guitar with you?" A chubby girl with a round face teased, "We're all looking forward to your talent show." ”
Jiajun waved his hand: "I'm at the beginner's level, don't mention it again." ”
"Speaking of talent, I heard that Qin Mu can play ukulele." Another girl with shoulder-length hair and a bit of posefulness said with a blushing face.
Everyone's eyes turned to Qin Mu, and Li Xuanyue couldn't help but sigh that although this person looked low-key, he still attracted the attention of others intentionally or unintentionally.
Ukulele ...... It's a pity I didn't bring it," he patted the wooden box beside him, "if you want to listen to music, you can." ”
"What's that?" Someone wondered.
"The box that can sing," Qin Mu tapped his index finger twice on the plank, and a small singing voice came from inside.
Everyone calmed down, pricked up their ears to listen, the graceful female voice echoed in the cold night air, humming a melody without lyrics, it was intoxicating at first hearing, but the more you listened to this ethereal song in this silent and empty wilderness, the more you felt your scalp tingle.
"What is this, Music Box?" The girl who had just proposed Qin Mu to play the ukulele asked softly.
"Sort of......" Qin Mu looked at the wooden box, and there was a moment of greed in his eyes.
"The sound is so realistic, it's like there's really someone in there." The classmate next to him sighed, "What kind of structure is this, can you take a look?" ”
Qin Mu looked around at everyone, and the smile on his face faded, "There's nothing to see." He tapped the wooden box, and the song stopped abruptly.
"It's mysterious, it can't really hide anything...... "One of the boys began to heckle.
"I said it's a head, do you believe it?" Qin Mu replied coolly, looking at the boy who was coaxing.
The atmosphere suddenly cooled down, and the girls all showed indescribable expressions on their faces, and Jiajun came out to play a round: "When it comes to telling horror stories at night, it's also one of the items on the graduation travel list." ”
"Speaking of horror stories, have you ever heard of the dusty past of Big D?" A diminutive boy stood up, pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose, and looked at the crowd.
"I think I've heard of it, isn't it twenty years ago?" Someone whispered. A cold wind blew, the flames trembled in the wind, and everyone's expressions became indecipherable.
"What happened twenty years ago?" There are also people who have not heard the rumors, so they ask curiously.
The boy cleared his throat and continued, "Among the graduates of the class of '99, there was a girl who went missing. But after a long time, there was still no one alive or dead, and the school kept the girl's dormitory, even the student registration and files, and everyone thought that the girl was still alive.
Later, they went on a graduation trip like us, and some people claimed to have seen the missing girl during the trip, and they also had her in the photos they took at the time. But...... After the trip, the girl did not return. ”
At this time, the timid girls were all close together, some covered their ears and did not want to listen, but the clear voice of the boy still echoed in the air: "This matter is not over yet, not long after they returned from their trip, some of the graduates had an accident." ”
"It's impossible to verify this, you haven't seen those photos back then, why do you say Zhenzhen?" Someone immediately retorted.
The boy shrugged: "You can believe it or not, it's all about me making up a story." ”
"But...... I've heard something similar happened once again ten years ago, and this year it happened to be ......" from the crowd gasps. The moonlight turned everyone's faces pale.
"It's okay to tell a story, but don't spread it." Teacher Pan walked out slowly from behind the bonfire: "It's not early, you go back and rest, and gather downstairs at nine o'clock tomorrow morning." ”
Some people are grateful that her appearance ended this "horror story conference", but some people are still unsatisfied with Fang Cai's story, Li Leqi pulled Li Xuanyue's sleeve: "You go back first, I still have some business." ”
