What happened next was a real mess.

The police came again, interrogated Xue Ying and me for a long time, and finally closed the case under the boring excuse of "accident". I was immediately disappointed, and I didn't bother to tell the incompetent "police uncle" where the duck died, but asked Xue Ying to investigate first.

Although I don't know if that dream is the curse of the Saucer Immortal, I don't want to suddenly have braids one day and die in vain. Naturally, she doesn't want Xue Ying to die in vain, so the only hope is to find the root of that dream.

The famous British psychologist Schelle model once said that dreams are the brain activities of a person's light sleep subconsciously, and each person's dreams are unique because of their different experiences and different ways of thinking. The probability of several people having the same dream—which can be rounded off—is completely negligible.

But Dog Bear, Xue Ying, Zhang Wen and maybe even Duck, they all had the same dream, even constantly doing it, every night, and the plot they dreamed of was exactly the same, how can this be explained?

I am simply speechless about this question.

There is one more doubt.

Why didn't I, and only me, have that weird dream? Could it be that I inadvertently did something more than the four of them that I didn't even realize I had? But this does not seem possible.

Damn, is it true that the Saucer Immortal game is a real thing, and if you don't send the invited Saucer Immortal back, that hateful evil spirit will kill you and devour your soul?

"Xiaoye, what are you worried about?" Xue Ying looked at me blankly for a long time before asking.

"I'm thinking about that dream. Why haven't you told me for so long? I raised my head, stared helplessly at her beautiful eyes that were as clear and transparent as Daigo, and sighed.

"People didn't even know that there were other people who had the same dreams as me, so they didn't pay much attention to it. And I know you've had enough headaches lately, and people don't want to bother you more! Xue Ying smiled shyly at me.

She reached over to hold my face and sneered, "Is Saya worried about me?" Stupid, I don't believe in the curse of the Disc Immortal, it's too unscientific. ”

"That's right." I forced my facial muscles to squeeze out a smile and said softly, "This kind of mysterious thing has no scientific basis at all, so it's better not to believe it." Although he was smiling on the surface, he didn't feel any lighter in his heart. I shook my head vigorously and said, "Do you want to buy all the things you bought?" ”

"It should be all together, I'll order more." Xue Ying loosened the backpack on her back, opened it, and counted them all the same: "Rope, flashlight, batteries, lighters, birthday candles, gloves, plastic bags, waterproof boots, and the floor plan of the bomb shelter stolen from the school reference room." Weird, why do you want me to buy this mess? ”

I tapped my hand lightly on the table and explained, "There are a few things I have to tell you about that bomb shelter. First of all, it was built during World War II, and it is deep and long, like a labyrinth. Since the entrance is designed in a low-lying area, there is bound to be a lot of water inside, so if you don't want to get up close and personal with the inhabitants of the area, such as rats, cockroaches, and other cute creatures, it's best to put on your boots.

"The plan of the bomb shelter was used to prevent us from getting lost. Ropes, flashlights, batteries, lighters are essential for lighting and emergency response, plastic bags are used to hold the collected things, and there are a lot of bacteria and disgusting things in the bomb shelter, and gloves must be worn when touching things. ”

"What about the whole person candle for the birthday? What do you want that thing for? Xue Ying was puzzled.

"Quite simply, that kind of candle contains a lot of magnesium, and it is not easy to extinguish no matter how you throw it or blow it, unless you put it in an oxygen-deficient environment. I'm afraid that some parts of the bomb shelter have been closed for too long, accumulating too much carbon dioxide and toxic gases, so it's safer to bring it. When opening some enclosed places, throw the candle in it and see how much oxygen is in the air, and then think twice. ”

"I'm convinced!" Xue Ying lowered her head and sighed, "Xiaoye, sometimes I really have an urge to see what kind of environment you grew up in?" Why do you do everything, you can think about it comprehensively and carefully in advance, like a cunning fox. ”

"I'm sorry, but my fox personality is natural, and there are no environmental factors." I glared at her angrily and asked, "What time is it?" ”

"Nine-forty-five is exactly the time to turn off the dormitory lights in the dormitory building." Xue Ying looked at the watch on her wrist.

"In other words, there is almost no one near the entrance to the bomb shelter now." I considered all the factors, and after feeling that the loophole in my plan should not be big, I gently knocked Xue Ying's head and told her: "Go downstairs, you go into the women's toilet to see if there is anyone inside, be sure to confirm it, otherwise I will be finished!" ”

During World War II, there were a large number of bomb shelters built in all parts of the city, both in the countryside and in the city.

Of course, the historic school we attended was no exception, and there was one digg, but it was abandoned decades ago.

The open space in front of the entrance of the bomb shelter has been built into a public toilet, and the entrance is pitifully squeezed behind the women's toilet, so if you want to enter the bomb shelter, you have to go through the women's toilet and go around from the right.

This is the most troublesome.

If I want a healthy, confident, and arrogant man to enter the women's toilet, it is already very psychologically stressful, and the most afraid thing is to be bumped into by others, so I am not guaranteed to be late? The image that you have worked hard to maintain will be like a river of spring water, ruthlessly washed into the sea. At that time, I am afraid that I will not even have time to buy a piece of tofu and die head-on, so I will be drowned by the saliva of more than 5,000 people in the entire school......

Xue Yingluo walked into the women's bathroom, and it didn't take long for her to poke her head out and make a gesture at me that was okay.

I took a deep breath, made up my mind again, slowly lifted my trembling feet, and finally mustered up the courage to walk into this boy's absolute forbidden place.

The description of the scene in the women's toilet is omitted, it is too embarrassing! "In fact, it was completely because I was afraid of being scolded by Xue Ying as a pervert, so I had to pretend to be calm and not squint, and I didn't even dare to show my look. 〉

It took me more than 30 seconds to cross the distance of more than 20 meters with difficulty, and I came to the open space behind the toilet.

"Xiao Ye, do you guess that the bear who has always worked hard to maintain his serious big brother image, and his obsessed follower Zhang Wen, will have a penchant for voyeurism?" Xue Ying, who had been snickering in her heart, saw that I was sweating profusely, and finally couldn't help laughing.

She laughed as if she had thought of something and asked, "Otherwise, how would they have thought of going into the bomb shelter behind the women's bathroom?" ”

"Don't speak ill of the dead!" I knocked her on the head in a sullen rage.

Xue Ying touched her head with her hand and said coquettishly: "I hate it, you are not allowed to hit other people's heads, if you beat me into an idiot, I want you to marry me and make me a cow and a horse for a lifetime." ”

"Hah, you're going to be an idiot, I'm definitely the first to call the insane asylum." I was absent-mindedly arguing with her as I gazed intently at the old entrance.

The bomb shelter was built 10 meters underground, which was quite deep at the time.

At the entrance is a concrete structure about 1.5 meters high, but it has long been sealed off by the school with an iron fence, probably to prevent the younger children from entering the adventure for fear of getting lost or encountering danger.

"It's weird." I frowned, wiped my hand on the fence, and said to Xueying: "Isn't the bomb shelter they mentioned here?" ”

"No, there's just one bomb shelter nearby." Xue Ying shook her head, firmly rejecting my speculation.

"But look." I put the rust in my hand under her eye and said, "The fence is covered with rust and cobwebs, and the fence is tightly locked with a big lock. I lifted the chain lock and examined it carefully, and said, "There is no sign of anyone picking it open, and the keyhole is covered with patina, and even if you think about it on your knees, no one has been in or out of this place for many years." ”

Xue Ying was also confused, and she recalled distressedly: "Zhang Wen obviously told us that he found the corpse of a duck in the old air-raid shelter, and I remember that the school's air-raid shelter has only such an entrance and exit. ”

"No, there must be a problem."

I kept thinking about it, and then spread the plan of the air-raid shelter on the ground and studied it carefully.

After a long time, he raised his head and asked Xue Ying thoughtlessly: "Do you still remember what Zhang Wen and the bear said to us a few days ago?" They said that they had found the Chen family's treasure at the construction site of the playground, hey, although the treasure may not be real, but it is true that a large tomb was found there. ”

"What does this have to do with bomb shelters?" Xue Ying asked hesitantly.

I smiled mysteriously, "Let's go see the tomb, we should find something." ”

The route of the bomb shelter is drawn on the plan, and it is clear that it runs straight to the southeast, and the playground and the school's grave are located exactly to the southeast. When I found this, a hypothesis popped into my head

Perhaps the tomb was above a certain section of the bomb shelter, and when the foundation was being laid, not only the grave was dug up, but also the ceiling of the bomb shelter below the tomb was dug and collapsed, opening up the tomb and the bomb shelter...... It was from the tomb that Bear and Zhang Wen entered the bomb shelter and stumbled upon the carcass of a duck.

Hey, if this assumption is true, at least some of the doubts will be solved!

This is undoubtedly a life-saving straw for me, who is troubled by a large number of questions and has no clue, like a poor worm whose house leaks and rains overnight.

It was dark, and the bleak night enveloped the entire construction site, quietly, without a single sound.

Xue Ying and I flipped into this deathly silence.

For some reason, my heart was beating inexplicably, and I turned on my flashlight to look around, where the foundations of the future student dormitory building had been laid and were ready to be poured into the concrete.

"The grave should be on the far right of the site." I gestured with my fingers to find my place and walked briskly over it.

Xue Ying followed me closely, and took my hand again in fear. Suddenly, I heard her exclamation of "ah", and she pointed ahead blankly and refused to move.

I looked up and saw that not far on the ground, there was a large rectangular pit full of deep water, and the pit was just like what Zhang Wen described, about five meters long and three meters wide, but it looked like it made people shudder in the night.

I don't know whether it is a wide or slender hole, like a bloody mouth slowly climbing up from hell, its teeth and claws silently grinning, as if it has been waiting for thousands of years, just waiting for us to approach and choose people to eat.

I stood cold, only to feel Xue Ying's hand holding me tighter and tighter. The atmosphere around me began to turn strange at some point, and the coffin fragments scattered on the ground seemed to be alive, constantly exuding a cold smell in the summer night......

"Do you feel it, it's cold, it's scary!" Xue Ying said in a trembling voice.

I snorted and pinched my thighs hard, using the pain to break free myself from the inexplicable fear. After taking a few steps forward, I picked up a piece of coffin from the ground and looked at it closely, pinched some scraps with my fingernails, and put it in front of my nose to smell it.

"That's right, Zhang Wen's coffin fragment was picked up from here." I judged.

Xue Ying seemed a little overwhelmed, she suddenly turned her head, looked deeply into my eyes, and said hesitantly: "Xiaoye, do you think it is possible...... We invited the dish fairy ...... Is it the owner of this tomb? ”

"Why do you think so?" I asked, surprised.

Xue Ying bit her lip and said slowly: "Didn't you say that more than a hundred years ago, the school's playground should have been a big river?" You've also said that "by the water" means "by the river" and more toward "by the river." Saya, you see, the location of this tomb meets all the conditions, and it ......"

She pondered for a long time, but then shook her head: "I don't know how to tell you, in short, this place gives me a feeling of horror, as if I will be swallowed up by that pit at any moment." ”

I was noncommittal to her speculation.

"That doesn't mean anything at all. Everyone is more or less afraid of the places related to death, and I am also afraid, in fact, your reaction is normal. I said.

"That's not right! Those are not feelings of fear! Xue Ying was a little hysterical, she grabbed my arm tightly, and her whole body kept trembling: "I know what it's like to be afraid, but I'm definitely not afraid now, that's one, it's a call!" Yes, it's a calling.

"From the moment I started, I always felt that something was calling my name, and it was not a voice, but a thought. It didn't have to go through my eardrums to get straight into my head! I'm afraid! I'm so cold! No, I'm going down to save it! ”

Xue Ying stiffened her body, and she jerked me away, slowly walking forward with heavy, difficult steps.

"What's wrong with you?" I was surprised to hold her hard, only to find that her eyes had become dull and dark, without a trace of brilliance, as if covered with a cloth.

Her steps were messy, but persistent, and even if I pulled her to stay where she was, she was still moving in irregular steps.

"It's cold at the water's edge. Save me! There is no one! Come and save me, I don't want to die yet! Suddenly, Xue Ying began to cry. She sat on the floor with her knees folded, weeping, repeating the words in her mouth.

A cold sensation crept up the back of my head, and I shivered, only to feel that I could no longer move.

What the hell is going on, what is wrong with Xue Ying? Don't...... Is it a ghost? No! This is not at all in line with scientific logic, so, could she be a patient with sudden sleepwalking?

I gritted my teeth and hugged her tightly from behind.

Xue Ying began to struggle desperately, she tried hard to shake off my hand, with hateful and creepy eyes, glared at me and said, "Beast, don't touch me!" I swear, I won't let you go! ”

I didn't let go, trying to keep her down.

Xue Ying cried, screamed, shouted, and kept beating me with her hands.

Eventually, she seemed to be tired, and gradually stopped resisting, relaxed all over, and fell asleep.

"Oh my God, this joke is a big joke!" I gasped for breath, stood up exhausted, looked at Xue Ying who was lying comfortably on the ground, and shook my head with a wry smile.

Alas, it's over, it seems that there is no way for her to walk back to the dormitory building on her own and sneak back to her room. So what exactly is going to happen tonight?

After a short rest, I finally resigned myself to carrying her and walked to the teaching building step by step. There is no way out, and the only way to do it is to go to the classroom overnight.

Damn it! I didn't expect this kind of unexpected situation to happen, and I smashed my whole plan.

I felt a little frustrated in my heart, maybe I shouldn't have brought Xue Ying here in the first place. In fact, it is not a good thing to leave the matter of recovering the duck carcass to those useless policemen......
