If I were you

Next Chapter

If I were you, I would put on a red dress and hold a white umbrella, and come in the wind; If I were you, I would stand in his dreams and stare at him with black eyes; If I were you, I would let him know that I am like the wind, transparent but always there...... The above passage is an excerpt from an essay titled "If I Were You".

When the teacher assigns this question, it may just be a whim, and he wants the students to make an assumption that they are another classmate.

When Mr. Chen checked the students' essays, he found that each of them wrote very carefully. It wasn't until he opened the composition of a female classmate named Yin Simeng that a smile suddenly condensed on his face.

"It's been three years, but I'm still fresh in my mind." Liu Weiqiang fell into memory,

As soon as the teacher saw Yin Simeng's essay, his face turned white. He found that the ink of the essay was very old, as if it had been written a long time ago, and that the description in the essay was very strange. In our gaze, he walked down the podium in despair, came to Yin Simeng, and asked softly. Yin Simeng replied to him in a low voice. As soon as he heard this, Mr. Chen shook his body and fainted on the ground. "It was one night and three sophomores were sitting on the rooftop of a school building.

The three students are two boys and one girl, the boys are named Sun Hao and Liu Weiqiang, and the girls are named Nie Zhuojia. Nie Zhuojia is not a student at this school, she and Liu Weiqiang are high school classmates who are currently studying at another university.

On this day, Nie Zhuojia suddenly proposed to visit Liu Weiqiang's university. After Nie Zhuojia arrived, Liu Weiqiang took her to visit the school, accompanied by Liu Weiqiang's roommate Sun Hao.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Sun Hao proposed to drink some wine outside the school, but for some reason, Nie Zhuojia firmly disagreed, but stretched out his hand to the roof of a teaching building, saying that he wanted to go there.

After coming to the rooftop, Nie Zhuojia, who had always been worried, suddenly mentioned a past incident three years ago.

Liu Weiqiang and Nie Zhuojia were both direct participants in that strange past, although I don't know why Nie Zhuojia suddenly mentioned it, Liu Weiqiang still told the strange things that happened in the classroom at that time.

"One sentence, it scared people out?" Sun Hao smiled disappreciatively,

"What did that girl named Yin Simeng say?" Liu Weiqiang's expression was as solemn as a dark cloud: "When the teacher asked us to write this essay, let us choose the classmate we want to become." However, when he read Yin Simeng's essay, he found that the classmate that Yin Simeng wanted to become did not exist in our class at all—and the description of that 'classmate' in one of the paragraphs was very strange, not like a description of a certain 'classmate', but like a ghost...... "Hearing this, Sun Hao was taken aback, and hurriedly recalled the fragment in the composition that Liu Weiqiang had just read.

On closer inspection, several of them are such as:

"Red Clothes"

"White Umbrella"

The sentence "coming from the wind" is indeed like describing a ghost with a strange image. However, Sun Hao still didn't want to believe that this was describing a ghost, he reluctantly smiled and said: "Perhaps, that girl wrote these words lyrically, and it is normal to exaggerate the description......" Nie Zhuojia, who had been silent for a long time, finally raised his head at this time: "You think wrong." The teacher was very scared when he saw that description, do you know why? ”

"Why?"

"Because the teacher has seen the ghost in red clothes and holding a white umbrella. When he saw that Yin Simeng was going to become the ghost, he was very puzzled, so he came to Yin Simeng and asked her if she had seen the ghost. Nie Zhuojia paused and said in a trembling voice,

"Yin Simeng replied with this sentence - 'It is right in front of you.'" Sun Hao was stunned and frowned.

Liu Weiqiang and Nie Zhuojia didn't seem to be lying, and when they told this past, the expressions on their faces concealed deep fear.

This made Sun Hao feel that things back then were more than that. Liu Weiqiang continued. In his narration, Sun Hao realized that the teacher had indeed bumped into the ghost.

The faculty apartment where the teacher lives is relatively close to the student's dormitory. Since there was a large garden in front of the faculty apartment, almost every night, there would be a small laughter in the garden, and he knew that it was some couples tryst in the garden, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Until one night, the sound of a girl crying suddenly came from the garden. As soon as the teacher heard the cry, he became anxious, thought that something had happened, and hurried downstairs into the garden.

But at this moment, the crying stopped abruptly. He searched the garden and didn't see any crying girls.

Did you hear it wrong in the first place? He shook his head and was about to return, but the crying began again.

This time he heard clearly, the crying was coming from the edge of the garden, where there was a tall building, and the crying was coming from the back of the building.

He hurried over to the corner—just as his body was about to pass it, his heart trembled, and he realized that something was wrong with the cry.

Because, when he heard the cry, he instantly went up, that is, the person who made the cry was floating up quickly!

How can a person float up? His scalp tingled and he tried to close his feet, but it was too late, and his body had already gone around the corner......

"What did he see?" Sun Hao took a deep breath.

He saw a ghost dressed in red floating in the air with a white umbrella. There were three cracks in the umbrella, as if it had been scratched by a finger. Liu Weiqiang shuddered, as if he had seen the scene with his own eyes,

Although the ghost floated above, he saw what it looked like - the ghost had long, dry white hair, and there was not a single intact piece of skin on its face, especially its eyes, which protruded from their sockets like two leaky balloons, hanging from their cheeks. The teacher almost screamed, covered his mouth with his hand, and slowly retreated...... Liu Weiqiang stopped, his face was already pale.

"Even if the teacher had seen that ghost, even if the girl named Yin Simeng said that the ghost was in front of him, he wouldn't be so easily intimidated, right?" Sun Hao found a loophole in the story and hurriedly said,

"The first time he saw that ghost, he wasn't intimidated, how could he be intimidated by Yin Simeng's words?" Liu Weiqiang smiled bitterly: "That's because it was Yin Simeng's words that made him realize that a strange thing that happened to him recently was related to that ghost...... "That strange thing happened in the teacher's bedroom."

For countless nights after encountering the ghost, every time he turned on the light, he felt like there was something else in the room.

One day, he pushed open the bedroom door and suddenly found his five-year-old son drawing the outline of a girl on the floor with chalk.

In a panic, he asked his son why he was drawing the outline of a person on the floor. Who knows, the son shook his head: "This is not my painting...... His heart suddenly rose to his throat: "Who painted it if you didn't draw it?" You were the only one here! The son innocently said, "I really didn't draw it - I saw a shadow on the ground, so I traced it with chalk...... "It turned out that the extra thing was a shadow."

Of course, shadows don't appear out of thin air—this means that there is a human figure that is invisible to the naked eye and is standing under the lamp all the time, and the light does not shine on it, but it shines on its shadow...... Hearing this, Sun Hao stood up and looked at the ground with disbelief.

He seemed to see something terrible.

"Shadow! It's just the three of us here, why are there so many shadows? Sun Hao suddenly shouted and stretched out his hand to the ground on the top of the building.

I saw that under the moonlight, there were indeed shadows of more than a dozen people tall and short surrounding them. Why was the teacher intimidated by one sentence?

Listening to this, Sun Hao heard the answer - after discovering the ghost in the bedroom, the teacher would of course suspect that the ghost was haunted by him.

However, the shadows on the floor are somewhat blurry and do not serve as evidence of being haunted by ghosts; Until Yin Simeng said that

"It's right in front of you", the worry in his heart was finally confirmed, and the fear that had been suppressed in his heart finally exploded.

While listening to this story, Sun Hao felt a little cool. However, after all, this story did not happen to him, so his fears are still limited.

I heard Liu Weiqiang mention it in the story

"Shadow", Sun Hao subconsciously looked at his own shadow on the ground. Who knows, at this glance, the hairs on the whole body suddenly stood up.

Around them, there were many more figures. Sun Hao finally couldn't help but exclaim. Hearing Sun Hao's words, Liu Weiqiang and Nie Zhuojia were also taken aback.

The three of them hurried to the top of the stairs. In the process of fleeing, Sun Hao noticed that the shadows were chasing after them.

"Run, they're coming!" Sun Hao shouted and took the lead down the stairs. As soon as the three of them came out of the staircase, they ran wildly.

Those shadows did not mean to give up, and followed, and what was even more terrifying was that Sun Hao seemed to faintly hear a slight snickering from something behind him.

Sun Hao's back was numb for a while, knowing that it was not a way to run like this, so he hurriedly pushed open the door of a studio.

As soon as the three of them entered the studio, they locked the door tightly. No one spoke for a moment, and in the empty studio, there was only their violent gasps.

After a while, Sun Hao's beating heart finally calmed down a bit, and a question appeared in his heart: from Liu Weiqiang's story

Judging from the description of "Shadow", the people chasing after them must be a group of ghosts. But why did these ghosts suddenly appear around them?

Before Nie Zhuojia's arrival, it had been quiet here. As soon as Nie Zhuojia appeared here, strange things followed, and it was strange that Nie Zhuojia chose to mention that past on such a night.

Thinking of this, Sun Hao's gaze turned to Nie Zhuojia: "Nie Zhuojia, why are those ghosts chasing you?" Actually, Sun Hao wasn't sure that those ghosts were coming for Nie Zhuojia, he said this to see Nie Zhuojia's reaction.

Nie Zhuojia's body trembled, and she stopped talking. Liu Weiqiang suddenly thought of something, his face changed suddenly, and he said nervously: "Nie Zhuojia, why are there ghosts chasing you?" Three years ago, three years ago, you went and came back, what did the teacher say to you? ”

"What goes and comes back?" Sun Hao asked.

"The strange thing that the teacher went through was only in the part of the classroom that we saw with our own eyes, and the rest of the experience was told to us in the hospital room – he was taken to the hospital after he was frightened." Liu Weiqiang stared at Cai Minghui,

There were five of the students who listened to him in the ward at that time, and they were all his favorite students. We didn't know why he told us about his experience, but as we were leaving, he suddenly stopped Nie Zhuojia, and the two of us talked alone for a long time...... From that day on, we found that when Nie Zhuojia walked, he always carefully watched behind him, as if he was guarding against something. At that point, you've already noticed that a ghost is following you, right? Nie Zhuojia was silent for a while, and suddenly burst into tears: "That day, the teacher asked me on the hospital bed why that ghost haunted him, of course I didn't know the answer. The teacher said, let me rewrite the essay "If I Were You", but this time the object of the writing will be replaced by the ghost. The teacher said that the ghost was a girl when she was alive, and perhaps only a girl could understand its mind. Once you understand its mind, it's easy to get rid of it. Of the teacher's five favorite students, I was the only one who was a girl, and he decided to give me this task. That night, I carefully figured out the ghost's behavior and wrote the essay carefully, who knows, in the middle of the night, a strange thing happened......" Nie Zhuojia respected her teacher very much, and when the teacher asked her for help, she agreed.

She felt that it was a very simple thing to rewrite that essay, and as long as she carefully speculated on the psychology of the ghost, she could analyze the reason why the ghost haunted the teacher.

The most common way to speculate on the other party is to assume that you are the other party. Because of his concern for the teacher, Nie Zhuojia was very serious when he rewrote the essay, and the composition was finally written in the second half of the night.

She was so tired that she fell asleep on her desk. After a while, Nie Zhuojia suddenly felt that someone had draped something on her, and she immediately thought: it was her mother who was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she put a thin quilt on herself.

She couldn't help but smile sweetly. However, a minute later, Nie Zhuojia suddenly raised her head with a scream, and her eyes were instantly full of fear - because she suddenly thought that her mother had gone to the hospital to take care of her grandmother tonight, and that night, Nie Zhuojia was the only one in the family!

Who is the man who put a thin quilt on her? Nie Zhuojia hurriedly looked around, and then, her gaze fell on two things.

Both of them, on the table, were a red worn-out umbrella with three finger cracks: the other thing was draped over her—a white garment......

"From that moment on, I knew I was haunted by that ghost." Nie Zhuojia couldn't help but tremble all over her body when she thought of what happened that night,

"At first, I thought it was that essay that got that ghost on me. However, there is one thing that is strange - when I rewrote the essay, I reversed the color of the ghost's clothes and the color of the umbrella, and when those two things appeared in front of me, they were exactly the same color as I wrote in my composition! Sun Hao frowned: "Perhaps, it's not the same ghost. Nie Zhuojia shook her head slightly: "I showed those two things to the teacher, and the teacher said that except for the different colors, the shape of the things is not different." After that day, I became suspicious and always felt like something was following me......"

"If you're really haunted by ghosts, it's the only ghost! Why will there be so many ghosts following you tonight? Liu Weiqiang asked suspiciously.

"Who said those ghosts were following me?" Nie Zhuojia's eyes widened

"They're following you!" As she spoke, she stretched out her finger and pointed at Sun Hao.

"What!" Sun Hao couldn't believe his eyes and looked at Nie Zhuojia in surprise.

"A week ago, Liu Weiqiang uploaded a recently taken photo in QQ Space, and the person in the photo was only you except Liu Weiqiang. It has become my habit to tell whether a person is haunted by ghosts from shadows, so as soon as I saw that photo, I noticed that there were several more figures on the ground...... "Sun Hao's heart jumped wildly.

In a moment, he seemed to understand why Nie Zhuojia came to Liu Chengbo - her main purpose in looking for Liu Weiqiang was to find Sun Hao; A ghost appeared next to Sun Hao, which was very similar to the strange past three years ago.

Nie Zhuojia may have come this time to take advantage of the strange things around Sun Hao to find the answer to that past incident.

Sun Hao hurriedly opened the QQ on his mobile phone, entered Liu Weiqiang's space, and went to see the photo. The photo was taken in the bedroom at night, and in the photo, there were a few more figures on the ground next to Sun Hao.

If you don't go out of your way to see it, it's really hard to notice. At this moment, Sun Hao's body shook suddenly, and his frightened eyes looked at the ground, as if he had seen something terrible.

Suddenly, he opened the door and pulled Liu Weiqiang out. Liu Weiqiang was taken aback, he never thought that Sun Hao would make such a move, there were terrible ghosts outside, but Sun Hao was willing to run out - could it be that in that studio, there was something more terrifying than ghosts?

Running all the way to the street lamp outside the teaching building, Liu Weiqiang finally couldn't help but drag Sun Hao: "What are you doing?" ”

"In this photo, why is there a shadow of Nie Zhuojia?" Gao Zhizi held the mobile phone in front of Liu Weiqiang, and his hand holding the mobile phone was trembling constantly.

"I see! Nie Zhuojia actually knew the answer for a long time, she came here to do an experiment! "In that photo, there was a girl's figure.

As soon as he saw this figure, Sun Hao felt a little familiar, but he couldn't think of where he had seen it for a while. However, when he inadvertently turned his gaze to the ground, he was horrified to find that the silhouette, body shape and hairstyle of the figure in the photo were exactly the same as the shadow of Nie Zhuojia in front of him!

"After I found out this, my first thought was: Nie Zhuojia in front of me is a ghost!" Sun Hao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Liu Weiqiang was stunned: "Is she really a ghost?" ”

"Of course not!" Sun Hao continued,

"After entering the studio, I actually kept thinking about one thing: the teacher had sensed something entangled with him from the beginning, but this feeling only appeared in the bedroom. This shows that the ghost has been staying in Mr. Chen's bedroom, not following him, and Mr. Chen must have thought of this as well. Then, when Yin Simeng says, 'It's right in front of you,' the teacher's first reaction should be to be skeptical, not frightened. Unless ......"

"Unless what?"

"Unless the 'it' in Yin Simeng's sentence does not refer to the ghost, but to herself!"

"How is this possible! You're saying that Yin Simeng is actually the ghost? Liu Weiqiang couldn't help but scream.

Sun Hao shook his head: "Yin Simeng is definitely not a ghost, but her words made the teacher believe that she was that ghost." Only in this case would he be so afraid. Now, there is only one possibility: at that time, the figure that his son drew was Yin Simeng's figure! The essay "If I Were You" written by Yin Simeng is not an essay at all, but more like a 'wishing letter' written to ghosts, and it has been completed long before the teacher assigns the composition. From the eerie description in the letter, it was clear that she had seen the ghost and wanted to be it. For some reason, the ghost actually agreed to her request, but it had no power to make her become it, and the only way was to become her and fulfill her request. The same must have happened with Nie Zhuojia, who, while rewriting that composition, discovered that ghosts appeared in the form of descriptions in her composition. At first, she didn't know why this was happening, and it wasn't until recently that she discovered that writing the article "If I Were You" with a strong exchange desire was able to summon ghosts. In order to confirm this, she decided to do an experiment, and the best object of the experiment is me, who has been active in your QQ space in the form of photos! This way, she will soon be able to get the results of the experiment through my photos in your QQ space. However, there was one thing I didn't understand - she had already seen the results of the experiment. Why do you have to come here yourself? Liu Weiqiang tilted his head thoughtfully.

"You must tell me, what happened to that teacher? I want to know the consequences of being haunted by ghosts! Sun Hao asked anxiously.

Liu Weiqiang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled reluctantly: "You don't have to worry, he is still alive......" Sun Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them had their own hearts and walked towards the boys' dormitory. Sun Hao's figure quickly disappeared into the dormitory building, but Liu Weiqiang stopped outside.

At this time, several figures suddenly appeared and chased in the direction of Sun Hao's travel. Liu Weiqiang stepped aside, suddenly smiled, and said respectfully to one of the shadows, "Teacher, good evening." The figure quickly disappeared into the darkness of the dormitory building.

Liu Weiqiang licked his lips and took out a piece of composition paper from his pocket, only to see that this paragraph was written on it: If I were you, I would follow Sun Hao as my high school classmate until he was scared to death like a teacher......

"It seems that the experiment was successful, and you can really summon ghosts in this way......" Liu Weiqiang smiled faintly and walked triumphantly towards the dormitory building and into the darkness.
