Chapter 21 - Purging Yuhua (2)
43 years ago in the city of D -
At that time, not long after the establishment of the New Celestial Empire, it was just in time for a famine. Three consecutive years of drought, the dealer can not plant at all.
People have no food to eat. What can I do if I don't have food? You can only dig up wild potatoes and tubers, and pick some elms, locust flowers, and other things from the trees to feed your stomach.
When people have eaten up the trees and dug up the tubers in the fields, the hungry people have begun to gnaw on the bark to quench their hunger.
Wild herbs and mountain animals, you say? At the beginning, it was picked up and chased away!
However, even if people tried their best to get food and gnaw on tree bark, at that time, ordinary people who farmed in D City had never had enough to eat since the drought.
At that time, it was not allowed to open a small stove, and if it was discovered, it was indispensable to be criticized to death in the streets. People can only wait in line at the gate of the people's commune every day, counting on the food they receive according to the head of the person to survive.
What is the bread you receive? The only thing that each family can get is—
According to the number of heads, it is less than half an adult's fist-sized hollow nest head! But who can eat such a small thing?
At that time, D City was still the most serious place in the famine. Every day, people are starving to death outside, and people are even hungry enough to eat!
Finally, God opened his eyes, and the people who survived the three-year catastrophe had their first full meal!
Unexpectedly, there was a plague all of a sudden! While the people were being confused, there were people who understood and said: Because there were so many people who starved to death, and the corpses were exposed to the sun and rotted in the air, the plague was spread.
When the people heard this, they quickly gathered the corpses in one place and prepared to burn them. At this time. Those who say that the corpses spread the plague, hurry up and stop the people who lit the fire and tell everyone; If it is burned directly, I am afraid that the plague will spread faster and farther.
In desperation, people had to find a wasteland, dig a huge hole together, and throw the stinking corpses into it one by one, but I don't know how many people died in the three-year drought.
More and more corpses piled up in the pit, and the pit got bigger and bigger, and finally the people here finally cleaned up the bodies and buried them in a large pit that was almost several hundred meters long.
Later, a big business owner came from outside, and established a Yuhua textile factory in the vicinity. But within a few days of the factory opening, strange things kept happening, either someone tripped over the air, or someone somehow except for the accident.
Because of the frequency of such incidents, the workers are panicking and clamoring for strikes. The owner of the factory had to pay attention to it, so he asked someone what was going on. Someone said, not far from the place where your factory was built, there is a mass grave where I don't know how many people are buried.
After many inquiries and guidance from experts, the big boss of Yuhua Textile Factory established a school for the children of workers at the location of the mass grave in order to suppress the resentment emanating from the mass grave, and named it - Yuhua Children's Vocational College!
Although the factory no longer had accidents, less than half a year later, the boss had a car accident and died, and finally the factory could only announce its closure. The children's school left behind was also re-covered and expanded by the Celestial Empire government, and the name was too lazy to think about, so it directly used the word Yuhua and changed its name to Yuhua College.
Although after the establishment of Yuhua, there were always bizarre events in the school, and from time to time people died tragically in it, but there were also a lot of talents from it.
There are many people who graduated from Yuhua College, who have made money doing business abroad, and out of the cultivation of Yuhua, they have returned to City D to invest in the expansion of Yuhua College.
This is the predecessor of Yuhua University.
With the passage of time, the vicissitudes of life - Yuhua College, which was just a small place at the beginning, has become the leading famous university in D City today. But in the school, there are still supernatural deaths that are unknown to outsiders. And only the students who are surrounded by supernatural events know best.
Time jumps to the present -
Shen Bai, who was standing at the gate of Yuhua, heard Li Yunze say that there was actually an evil array that sucked souls and broke through the ground at the entrance of the school, and exclaimed: "Uncle Shi, this Yuhua University is a famous school in City D, who would set up an evil array here to collect souls?" ”
Seeing that Shen Bai was so surprised, Li Yunze frowned and snorted coldly: "There are no righteous sects near this D city, and it is not surprising that there are some crooked sects that do not enter the stream. There are so many souls in this evil array, I think it should be the person who laid out the formation, not satisfied with only getting ordinary souls who have no Taoism, and pay attention to those things inside. ”
Speaking of this, Li Yunze sneered: "Hehe, but this young man who set up the evil array should have already been killed by the things inside." ”
But thinking about it, according to Li Yunze's statement, in the tarsal soul dementoring array under this cloth, there should be no one to collect so many souls for a long time.
The death toll of hundreds of people, if someone has collected it in a short period of time, it will be such an accident frequency - no matter how big the backer behind Yuhua is, it has to be closed!
"Xiaobai, what was the matter with you answering the phone just now?" Remembering that Shen Bai answered the phone before, Li Yunze suddenly asked.
"Uncle Hui, yes..."
Li Yunze raised his hand to interrupt Shen Bai's words, and said with a disgusted expression: "You kid is not a disciple of Longhu Mountain, don't be so literate with me, talk to me normally in the future, how can you talk to your two friends, how can you tell me, understand?" ”
Shen Bai saw that he was a master, and he didn't wait to see himself talk like that, and after thinking about it, he planned to make a joke with Li Yunze, and after a few steps away from Yun Ze's side, he said, "Uh... Lao Li, it's like this..."
Halfway through his words, Shen Bai stepped back again, but he didn't look angry at all, but asked him with a puzzled face: "What's wrong with you?" Why do you have to go back and talk when you speak? Oh, Lao Li sounds good, you can call me that from now on. ”
I was thinking about using a joke to adjust the somewhat serious atmosphere between myself and this uncle before leaving, how to admit my mistake. Unexpectedly, Li Yunze didn't care about what he called him!
Although he was joking, at least Li Yunze would chase after him to give himself a burst, right? But this uncle actually let him call it that way in the future?
"Don't be stunned, come back to your senses! What did your fat friend tell you? ”
"Well, Fei Yu said that Yuhua's principal came over and asked me how to deal with it, and I asked Fei Yu to make a commission record for him first and wait for me to go back. Uncle We...
"Call me old, don't call me uncle in the future, show old!"
"Old... Lao Li, then shall we go in and see? Why don't you go back and ask Principal Yuhua what he knows? ”
"Hmmm... Let's go, go back first. I'll take your friend to the formation tomorrow and see it again. ”
So, when they went out this time, although they didn't figure out what evil things were left in Yuhua University; But at least Shen Bai changed Li Yunze into decent clothes - although it is still a little nondescript (other combinations are not worn by Li Yunze), but at least it will not be regarded as asking for food!
At this time, in the White Night Office, a middle-aged man in a Mao suit was surrounded by Hua Tingyu's constant chatter-
"So, the last time I met was the vice principal of your school? Oh, I said you have to understand, this time we happened to go to your Yuhua University for a turn, and it was full of ghosts and ghosts, and the yin energy on each student was condensed. You entrust us to do things, don't you think this is the reason? ”
"Don't worry, listen to me first. In our entrusted file, two days ago, we just finished dealing with the students in your Yuhua, if we didn't happen to run into it; That student is really going to die in your Yuhua University again. That's right, I also inquired about your Yuhuali, how fierce the supernatural incident is; As far as we know, in addition to the souls of those students who were killed in the campus, there are six places in total. I'll get you a record of the commission first. ”
As soon as the middle-aged man wanted to speak, he was choked back by Fei Yu's mouth cannons one after another. Seeing that he was rummaging through the pen and paper of the record, he was finally able to interject, so he said, "Wait, please allow me to ask a few questions first." If your firm does have the ability to deal with the supernatural events in our school, we will talk about it in detail. What do you think? ”
Hearing this, Fei Yu, who was rummaging through the entrusted notepad, knew that what Principal Yuhua wanted to ask should not be simple, and after signaling to wait a while, he went upstairs to find Ye Qing in the room. What Fei Yu is most afraid of is that if people smell it, what has happened in Yuhua. He didn't understand, so he hurried to find Ye Qing.
Ye Qing heard Fei Yu say this, frowned and said, "Could it be that you are too outrageous, people suspect that we are charlatans, right?" Fei Yu smiled awkwardly and teased Ye Qing to hurry up.
Ye Qing went downstairs and saw a man in a tunic suit, nodded his head, went to make a pot of tea, and brought it to the table and poured a cup for the other party. Sit down to the left side of the main seat and start talking to the other person.
"Hello, I am Ye Qing, a friend of the owner of this office, the main person in charge is not in the office for the time being, you can tell me if you have any questions."
"And the one just now...
"And a friend of the owner of the office."
"Yesterday, a vice principal told me that someone went directly to the principal's office and left a business card, saying that something big was going to happen in our school, and I asked me to come to the place on the business card to entrust me to solve it. I've inquired in many ways, and it is said that you do have the ability to deal with some supernatural events. But... When I first came over, the man seemed to say ······"
"He's more casual, please don't be surprised." As soon as Ye Qing heard the meaning of others' words, he knew that they could see that Fei Yu was fooling him, and after interrupting the man's words, Ye Qing asked again: "What is the name of this gentleman?" ”
"The compound surname is Shangguan, and the single name is an inquiry."
"Mr. Shangguan, you must also know about the supernatural events in Yuhua University. When we visited before, we met a female student ······" Ye Qing unhurriedly recounted what Xing Yixuan had encountered, as well as another supernatural incident that he later learned from Xia Xiaomeng. Just as Ye Qing was telling and bringing the two girls here, Shen Bai and Li Yunze came back.
On the way back, Shen Bai told Li Yunze the ins and outs of Principal Yuhua's visit. When I entered the office, I saw Ye Qingzheng talking to a man. Shen Bai turned around and just wanted to ask Li Yunze, whether he would take over by himself or let Li Yunze interrogate. Li Yunze spoke: "Your customer has come to the door, why don't you go soon?" ”
After finishing speaking, Li Yunze sat on the computer desk by himself, not knowing what to do.
Ye Qing, who saw Shen Bai coming back, stopped continuing to speak, and asked Shangguan: "Mr. Shangguan, let's talk about this first, the principal is back." After finishing speaking, he got up and left the hall, and when he was about to go upstairs, Ye Qing told Shen Bai about the content of his chat with the official inquiry.
"Hello, I'm Shen Bai, the person in charge of the White Night Office, sorry for waiting for a long time." Without sitting in a hurry, Shen Bai shook hands with Shangguan Xun and said sorry.
After sitting down, Shen Bai directly took out the entrustment notepad and said, "Mr. Shangguan, this entrustment was accidentally encountered by my friend and me, and the remuneration is not important. I'd like to ask you some questions next, and I hope you'll be able to answer them truthfully. I think we all want to solve the mysterious death of a student that happens every year in Yuhua. ”
Shangguan Xun sighed and said with a sad face: "Mr. Shen, I didn't plan to come to you, it was Captain Jiao from the Qinghua Police Station who talked to me and said that you killed a powerful ghost in the school and asked me to evacuate the students quickly, so I came here." Presumably Captain Jiao should have told you about it, for so many years..."
"Mr. Shangguan doesn't need to be nervous, I know very well what Captain Jiao said, and I also understand what I am facing. If you don't want to solve the supernatural events that have been happening in Yuhua University for so many years, I won't force it. After Shen Bai interrupted the other party's words, he got up and made a 'please' motion, and the direction of his hand - Hao Ran is the door of the office.
This hand wants to be captured, if it is placed in normal times, Shangguan Xun will definitely turn around and leave with a sneer.
But according to Captain Jiao of the Qinghua Police Station, the young man in front of him can kill a powerful ghost in one of the seven supernatural locations in the school, and he dares to say that he has no ability? But before he could say the next words, people looked like 'not cooperating with the questioning, the door is over there'. What if you annoy the young people in front of you and don't care about those 'things'?
Shangguan Xun hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, I will tell you what you want to know, as long as I know it, I will never hide anything." In terms of honorarium, as long as I can solve those things in the school, I can pay 1 million..."
In fact, Shen Bai didn't play any indulgence at all. He saw that the principal of Yuhua was not very old, and he looked embarrassed, and he didn't know much about Yuhua's affairs. That's why you put on a look that you don't want to say, and I don't force it.
Seeing Shangguan inquiring like this, Shen Bai nodded and sat down, and began to record the questioning on the entrusted notebook. After more than an hour of understanding, Shen Bai asked some things that needed to be known, and asked the other party to clear the school as soon as possible, and then sent the official inquiry to leave.
Looking at the records on the notepad, Shen Bai thought for a while, and then said to Li Yunze: "Uncle Shi, I decided to deal with the 'head basketball' matter of Yuhua University first, and after I take Fei Yu to depict the Spirit Binding Array tomorrow, I will..."
"Oh, I said that you will call me Lao Li in the future, you are so young and forgetful? In such a hurry to deal with those ghosts, you can ask something to show me. Li Yunze interrupted Shen Bai's words, and he had to see what Shen Bai had recorded first.
Shen Bai took the entrusted notepad to Liyun Ze, and after opening it, it recorded the "Yuhua Supernatural Incident Entrustment Case"-
Client: Shangguan Xun, male, 42 years old, the current president of Yuhua University.
The remaining unresolved incidents: ghosts in the lake, hanging corpse trees, human head basketballs, human bone excavations, nursery rhymes in the middle of the night, and bloody hands on stone steps.
Solved: Piano Room of Death
The predecessor of Yuhua University: It was established by the children's school many years ago, and later classified as the Celestial Empire Public School. It has never been renamed, and has been used as 'Yuhua' to this day.
The incident of the high monks suppressing evil spirits: It has been confirmed that the truth is true, and it is speculated that due to the repeated renovation of the campus, the ashes left by the high monks to suppress the evil cult have dissipated, and the deaths of students have gradually increased.
Tarsal Dementor Array: It is understood that during the tenure of the fourth principal, there was a 'shading array' buried at the door. (The cult member has been confirmed dead)
······
Summary of inquiry:
Many years ago, when Yuhua was first built, it was located on a mass grave, and the resentment did not disperse; As a result, there have been frequent supernatural events since the establishment of the school. According to the client, the school archives record that a certain year after the establishment of the school, many students committed suicide and died tragically due to resentment, and there were also teachers and students who were blinded by resentment and mutilated others to death. That year, Mr. Yin Yang said that the school was full of resentment, but it was vaguely gathered in some fixed places······
It is reported that the remaining evil cults of the 'Human Head Basketball', the 'Hanging Corpse Tree' and the 'Death Piano Room' belong to the ghosts of the students after their deaths, absorbing Yuhua's internal grievances and turning into powerful ghosts. The remaining incidents have not yet been identified and require further investigation.
After reading what Shen Bai recorded, Li Yunze stroked his beard and thought for a moment, agreeing that Shen Bai wanted to deal with some supernatural events that he knew about the inside story first. Then he said that tonight, he would first go to abolish the tarsal dementor array at the school gate and depict the soul binding array, so as not to cause trouble with the ghosts inside.
After hearing this, Shen Bai said, "Then I'll go buy some food and come back, and we'll wait for dinner." ”
Tonight, the first step to purge Yuhua University's evil cult begins!
