The four of them rushed to the hotel near the school when the heavy rain came, opened two single rooms, and it rained heavily not long after they entered, Yang Sanshi and Lu Meihang insisted on braving the rain to buy two sets of men's and women's clothes in the clothing store next door, and asked Zeng Wen and Zhang Shuo to change them respectively, Lu Meihang ordered a hot porridge for Zeng Wen, and said to her that there was something that happened today while eating.

Half an hour later, the four of them gathered in one of the rooms and began to talk about the whole thing, Zeng Wen looked much better, her face was a lot ruddy, not so pale and haggard, just now she had heard Lu Meihang tell all the experience, at first she didn't believe it, she felt too unbelievable, like listening to a story, until she heard that Luo Yan committed suicide, she was shocked, and burst into tears, and then Lu Meihang told her that Zhang Shuo appeared in time to save her life, Zeng Wen was shocked and suspicious, why didn't she see her in just a few months, Zhang Shuo, the former suitor, became so different, and he also saved her, at this moment, a strange emotion slowly came to her heart, Lu Meihang didn't think much about it, just asked her to adjust her thoughts, and everything will wait for Zhang Shuo to come!

Now that the four of them are sitting together, Yang Sanshi was the first to ask a series of questions: "Lao Zhang, now that everyone is together, can you tell me how you woke up Xiaowen just now?" Is she okay now? And what do you mean when you say that thing might be nearby? ”

These questions are exactly what Zeng Wen and Lu Meihang want to know the most, and they all concentrate on hearing the words and listen attentively.

"Don't worry, wait for me to ask a question." Zhang Shuo paused, "Xiaowen, I want to know, you and Meihang said that you wanted to go back to the dormitory at noon today, but then we looked for you, you were not in the dormitory, where did you go halfway?" Why is it in the old campus again? He almost committed suicide. ”

Zeng Wen thought back for a while, and said timidly: "I did go back to the dormitory at noon, it was about two o'clock, I was restless in the dormitory, and I couldn't sleep, about half past four, I didn't feel well, so I went to 102 next door to talk to Luo Yan, and when I went out, I saw that the door of their dormitory was half open... Just as I pushed the door open and was about to go in, I... I saw... Luo Yan is alone in it, and she... Dancing is being done. ”

She wore a bright red dress, and danced happily in front of the windowsill of the dormitory with her back to the door, strangely the music was not played, and her rhythmic movements were strange, her fingers clucking as if they were curling at something, and her whole body was stiff and writhing like a machine...... I was very surprised to see her like this, so I opened my mouth to call her, but not only did she not stop, but also ignored me, I called a few times and saw that she just ignored me, slightly angry, and was about to turn her head back to the dormitory, at this time, she suddenly stopped, turned her head to look at me, I promised that I was absolutely not dazzled, she was standing in the dormitory at that time, a face full of blue veins, eyes flashing a terrifying red light, a strange and sinister smile, and said gloomily: "The next one will be your turn.... Hey, hey, hey.... It's almost ... It's almost .....!" I was so frightened by her horrible appearance that I took a step back, screamed and turned around and ran back to the dormitory, but the moment I returned to the dormitory and closed the door, my eyes went black and I lost consciousness. ”

"In a daze, I saw... I saw my mother standing at the door of the dormitory, waving to me, smiling and calling me, I wanted to go over and hug her, but my body didn't listen to the call and moved myself, and walked towards my mother, but I walked over, my mother smiled and stepped back, still waving, I was anxious, desperately ran to her, but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't catch her, just when I was about to grab her hand, I had a sharp pain in my neck, as if I had been scalded with boiling water, the pain made my whole body convuls, and then it was dark in front of me, and when I woke up, you were already in front of me, And I was lying on the edge of Dianchi Lake, listening to American Airlines say that I was going to drown, and you saved me. ”

After Zeng Wen finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to hold Zhang Shuo, and her pretty face was sincere and worried, "Zhang Shuo, am I enchanted?" ”

"It's a hallucination." Zhang Shuo's face sank like water, and he silently withdrew his hand, "Did your mother pass away earlier?" ”

When Lu Meihang and Yang Sanshi heard this, they all opened their mouths in shock, and with an incredible expression, they all looked at Zeng Wen.

Zeng Wen was even more surprised, "How do you know?" ”

Zhang Shuo said in a deep voice: "What ghosts are best at is to peek into people's hearts, everyone has an unknown fragility in their hearts, if you magnify this vulnerability, no one wants to live, and it is easy to be controlled." ”

"So I guess that my aunt passed away a long time ago, and you haven't been able to let go, but you have nowhere to tell it, you can only hide in your heart and grieve alone, right?"

Zeng Wen lowered her head, tears blurred her vision unconsciously, Lu Meihang was concerned, and gently patted her back, "Don't cry Xiaowen, it's time to put it down, Auntie must also hope that you will live a happy life in the spirit of heaven." ”

After comforting for a while, Zeng Wen wiped away her tears, raised her head and nodded at Lu Meihang, then looked at Zhang Shuo, and motioned for him to continue.

A trace of apology flashed in Zhang Shuo's eyes, and then said: "Through what you just described, I can now be sure that when you went to find Luo Yan, she was already controlled, and that thing was there, it made you hallucinate, you walked unconsciously to the old campus in a daze, which is the closest to Dianchi Lake, fortunately you walked slowly, otherwise you would have died just now, and fortunately we ran fast, otherwise if that thing arrived, we wouldn't be able to come back." ”

He said it easily, but it made everyone's backs cold, and their scalps were numb, and they were a little scared while being happy.

Zhang Shuo took a sip of water, "I don't know why that thing is so troublesome, killing people is so easy for it, why do you want to make it so cumbersome, but I am sure that there must be a big connection between these different ways of dying, and we need to analyze it after we gradually understand the truth, and also, do you know why Luo Yan and Xiaowen are wearing red dresses?" ”

"Why?" The three of them asked.

Zhang Shuo's face was full of anger, and he said coldly: "Because anyone who wears red clothes and dies with hatred, after death, the soul is most likely to turn into a ghost and not enter reincarnation." And that thing wants to manipulate them for its use, and it can't be reborn after death, which is really vicious. ”

Yang Sanshi, Lu Meihang, and Zeng Wen were all terrified and trembling when they heard this.

Zhang Shuo didn't want the three of them to worry too much, so his anger decreased slightly, "Don't worry, I will find a way to stop it from causing trouble to the world." Although the three of them were worried, they were slightly relieved.

And Yang Sanshi said: "Then the questions I just asked you can help us answer them now, right?" Lu Meihang and Zeng Wen also suddenly realized, stared at each other, and echoed together.

Zhang Shuo sighed secretly, looked at Zeng Wen and said seriously: "Xiaowen, I know that you have a lot of doubts in your heart, and I also have them, you may be frightened by what I tell you now, but please believe that I will do my best to keep you safe, so don't be afraid." ”

Zeng Wen pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "Thank you, I believe." ”

Zhang Shuo nodded, and said to everyone word by word: "When I was on the shore, I carefully observed Xiaowen's body with my magic eye, and found that on the back of her neck, there was a "black mark", through all of Xiaowen's descriptions, I am now more sure that it is a mark that can only be left by ghosts who have cultivated for more than a hundred years, called "Ghost Slave Curse", Xiaowen was hit by this kind of curse, I once used to be in a certain book... I have seen in the book that the "ghost slave curse" is a curse used by ghosts to manipulate the victim's behavior and thoughts, in other words, it can control the victim to do anything, and the qi is connected, as long as the mark is still there, it can sense the victim's location, unless the spell is lifted, it will be found even if it runs to the ends of the earth! ”

The more Zeng Wen listened, the more pale her face became, and she gradually became frightened, Lu Meihang hugged her and whispered comfort, Yang Sanshi frowned and said, "Then did you break the spell just now?" ”

Zhang Shuo took a long breath, shook his head and sighed, "No, once the "Ghost Slave Spell" is used, there is no spell to solve, I just used the sealing technique to temporarily seal it, it can only last for one day, and by tomorrow evening, that thing will still find Xiaowen, the most terrifying thing is that even if Xiaowen dies, the soul will be at the mercy of the caster, and the body will be manipulated into the walking dead, and it will not be able to be reborn." ”

Ignoring Zeng Wen's frightened and pleading gaze, Zhang Shuo said again: "If you want to completely break the curse, unless you ......" couldn't help but look embarrassed.

"Unless what?" Lu Meihang and Yang Sanshi asked in unison, Zeng Wen heard that there seemed to be a way to save her, and her eyes showed a look of hope.

Zhang Shuo froze his mind and gritted his teeth and said, "Unless... Kill the spellcaster! ”

The three of them were silent when they heard it, as far as they saw and heard today, no matter what that thing was, it must be very powerful, I'm afraid Zhang Shuo is not an opponent, and if he doesn't do it, he will die.

Yang Sanshi was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "How sure are you?" ”

Zhang Shuo glanced at Yang Sanshi, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes, "Yicheng is not, that thing can haunt during the day, the Tao must be unfathomable, and I am only afraid that it will be more fierce at night, but we still have a little time, that thing can't find Xiaowen for the time being, I want to know what Xiaowen has experienced, what does it have to do with Luo Yan, and whether it has anything to do with other people, all of this, I can only let Xiaowen help me answer, right?" Xiaowen. After speaking, he looked at Zeng Wen with blazing eyes.

Zeng Wen was stared at by Zhang Shuo's fiery gaze, her face turned red unconsciously, and she didn't dare to look at Zhang Shuo directly.

Yang Sanshi was impatient, frowned and said: "Xiaowen, what is the truth, just say what you know, don't say anything Zhang Shuo can't save you." ”

Lu Meihang glared at Yang Sanshi unhappily, and said strangely: "Shut up." ”

Zeng Wen's gaze swept over Lu Meihang and Yang Sanshi, and finally stopped on Zhang Shuo's serious face, "I'm not sure what happened to me, but I participated in a picnic on a weekend eight months ago, Meihang, do you remember?" ”

Lu Meihang thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, I remember, at that time, you asked me to go with Luo Yan, it seems that you have friends from other schools, but my family and I are going to Lijiang, so I didn't go, was that time?" ”

Zeng Wen nodded, "Yes, that's it, except for that time, I basically haven't traveled with Luo Yan in the past eight months, and I've been at school most of the time, so I guess it's that picnic that led to everything today." ”

Yang Sanshi was about to speak, but Zhang Shuo intercepted and said, "Then please sue me all now." ”

"Eight months ago, on Friday, I received a call from my good friend Li Qiuchan at the Art Academy, she told me on the phone that they organized a field activity, with the participation of young men and women from several schools, about a dozen people, the time was Saturday morning at half past nine at the gate of the Art Academy, she wanted to invite me to go with me, at that time I was idle at school and bored, so I agreed, Meihang because there was something to accompany me, so I made an appointment with Luo Yan, and we arrived at the gate of the Art Academy at nine o'clock the next day, Li Qiuchan came relatively early, has been waiting for almost half an hour, we met after a few words, asked her where she went, she mysteriously told me that it is a deep mountain and old forest, but there are mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery, I must like it, I thought she was laughing with me, and I didn't care about chatting with her, the time was about half past nine, people came one after another, about fifteen or six, men and women, leading big bags of things, there are art colleges, medical universities, and teachers... In short, students from several schools came. ”

"Seeing that everyone has gathered, the three vans of the package came to pick us up at the school gate at half past nine o'clock, we got on the car and set off, probably out of the city I dozed off and closed my eyes to sleep, maybe more than an hour later, the car stopped, I was woken up by Li Qiuchan, opened my eyes and looked out, it turned out that we came to a road between the mountains and forests, there are green mountains on both sides, Li Qiuchan told me that there is still a way to go to get off here, all of us got off the car, followed the leader along the mountain road, But the mountain road is not as easy to walk as I imagined, I remember that we just climbed to the top of the mountain and I was so tired that I couldn't walk, so I could only support each other with Luo Yan to move forward, anyway, if I knew earlier, no matter how good the scenery was, I would never go, but it was too late to regret at that time, so I could only insist on it, and after half an hour, we finally came to the low-lying part of the peak, which was a small valley, next to several streams, and a small pool that gathered the stream, there was a flat grass on the side of the pool, and the trees and flowers on both sides were lush and complex, There were bursts of birdsong on the green hills on both sides, and to be honest, the scenery was still very good, if it wasn't for the fact that the road was too difficult to walk, I might have thought it was worth it. ”

"Although we are all tired, but we are still very happy to see such a good scenery, happily camped here, I counted, this time there are 8 boys and 8 girls, I thought it was just a coincidence, when I went back to know that it was deliberately arranged...... But at that time, I didn't think so much, so I helped everyone wash vegetables and cook together, and the rest of the boys went to set up tents, barbecue, at one o'clock at noon, we all sat together, eating barbecue and chatting, everyone talked and laughed, and they all got to know each other, among them, there was a boy named Wu Zhiyuan who always took the opportunity to talk to me, where I went and where he went, he was very handsome, but this kind of behavior made me very disgusted, Qiu Chan quietly told me that he was a junior at medical university, or a rich second generation, and his father was the CEO of Licheng Real Estate, He's been single since he broke up with his girlfriend half a year ago, and now he probably has a crush on me... But I can't say how much I hate that person, so I ignored him, after eating the barbecue, it was time for free activities, there were a few couples taking a lunch break in the tent, a few boys were playing cards, and there were five girls including me, Qiu Chan, Luo Yan, and the boy named Wu Zhiyuan, a total of six people, and the other two girls were Qiu Chan's friends, one was called Yang Bing, from the University of Medicine, and one was named Liu Ning, who was Qiu Chan's classmate. ”

"Qiu Chan proposed that a few of us girls go down the stream, it's rare to take more photos at a time, of course Luo Yan and I are willing, and soon everyone reached a consensus, but I didn't expect that Wu Zhiyuan was very thick-skinned, and swore that we would be our bodyguards, after all, they were also people who came out together, and Qiu Chan and the others were not easy to refuse, so they could only agree to go together."
