Chapter 44: Du Sheng's Explanation
The morning sun slanted into the classroom, and there were two strong men standing behind Du Sheng, as imposing as the black boss.
"The word university is just a name here. The real purpose of your existence here is to have a very important mission. Du Sheng walked to the windowsill and looked outside, and said meaningfully.
The next sentence surprised Li Xumu even more.
"It's actually a gateway to another world."
"Another world?!" Li Xumu felt that this was getting more and more ridiculous, it was already unbelievable enough to fall back from that well in an instant, but now he has pulled out another world, is he making a science fiction movie? !
"Another world. A place that a person does not want to touch in his life - the netherworld. Du Sheng's voice was gloomy and cold. You can never imagine what it would be like to live in the city we live in now, if there were ghosts and corpses everywhere, right? Then Yungang University exists to prevent this from happening. ”
Jia Shengtao lowered his head after hearing this, the legend of another ghost world has always existed in the world. Where does a person end up after death? How can we explain all the strange phenomena in the world? Jia Shengtao has always believed that such a place exists, but he didn't expect it to be his school.
"So this school is the junction of the two worlds of yin and yang? So what happened to us in Jinye Village just now? What is the significance of these death issues?! Jia Shengtao rubbed his forehead, looking a little frightened.
Du Sheng moved away from the window and faced Jia Shengtao, the sunlight causing the other half of his face to fall into shadow. I saw him bend down, put his hands on the desk, look at him with a serious face, and preach: "Light and darkness, heat and cold, people and ghosts." This world is a harmony of yin and yang, and breaking any of these balances will invite great disasters. And the same is true of the yang world and the yin world, they are balanced between the two worlds, and they do not invade each other, so that there will be today's order. But the two realms are interconnected, and a gate is the passage that connects them, with the purpose of sending the evil spirits and demons who have been lost in the yang realm back to where they belong. This gate is what you see as Yungang University. ”
"It's been that way from the beginning. However, in recent decades, the balance between the two worlds has become more and more unstable. The human world has repeatedly appeared haunted rumors, supernatural photos, all kinds of missing cases, frequent sudden deaths, and unsolvable mysteries. There are signs that the place in which we live is becoming less and less peaceful. Relevant people speculate that it is related to the leakage and instability of the ghost gate. This also shows that the yin and yang in the world are no longer balanced. ”
Jia Shengtao interrupted Du Sheng and asked, "What is the reason for breaking this balance?" ”
Du Sheng straightened up, his fingers on his chin, his expression worried, obviously thinking about whether he could say something.
"There are some things that you don't need to know. After all, it won't do you any good to know. But what I can tell you is that there are many places in this world where yin qi is very heavy, and these are all important factors that affect the balance of yin and yang. For example, the ghosts who wander in the city with resentment and death, such as the place where feng shui is extremely fierce, etc., are some of the factors that erode yang energy. So the death you are experiencing is an important means of regulating yin and yang. ”
Li Xumu stood up suddenly, and slapped his hands on the table with a bang. His eyes were full of anger and he stared at Du Sheng, and shouted angrily: "I can't listen to it anymore!" What the yin and yang worlds! It has nothing to do with us! We're just ordinary people, just students who came to college! I don't want to have anything to do with this bullshit, you see it! Only six of the eight people came back alive, what else is there to be thankful for?! ”
The two uniformed men behind Du Sheng took two hostile steps forward, but were stopped by Du Sheng with his hands open. He was very impressed by Li Xumu, and he didn't have a good explanation for why he appeared at the scene of the crime in the girls' dormitory at night last time.
Du Sheng didn't cause any emotional turmoil due to Li Xumu's sudden collision, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Li Xumu, lit it himself, took a sharp breath, spit out the smoke and said: "I don't know what you have experienced in this project, but I know that kind of experience is something I don't want to think about for the rest of my life." Du Sheng took another puff of cigarette, and then looked at the embarrassed people, and his eyes seemed to recall some terrible experiences.
"The gate of the netherworld, referred to as the ghost gate. It's always been there. It has always been very stable, and there are few incidents in the world where ghosts and monsters escape to the yang realm to harm people. But in the past 50 years, the place began to be in turmoil, and the country began to pay attention to it. So he summoned a group of strange people to deal with the increasingly unstable ghost gate, but the effect has not been ideal. Until someone proposed to build a school on the site of the Ghost Gate. ”
Du Sheng threw away the half-smoked cigarette butt in his hand and turned the sole of his shoe to extinguish it. Jia Shengtao coughed twice, fanned the smoke miasma in the air, and said, "So it's Yungang University today?" And what about the strange people who started out? ”
Du Sheng turned his head to Li Xumu and replied, "No one knows their whereabouts. There is speculation that they are the precursor to the current school psionic group, but that's not the point. The focus is on the man who proposed to build a school above the gates of the netherworld. He believes that the age of the student's flowering season is the time when the yang energy is at its best, which can effectively balance the texture of the extreme yin here, so as to prevent the ghost door from opening up. As for the subject of death, it has been around since the time of the school's construction, and the reasons are varied, but the first speculation is that there is a mysterious power near this ghost gate that can distort space and teleport students into the most dangerous and terrifying places, which is a side effect of building the school here. Second, some people say that this is set up by those strange people, as for what method, or what ability, I don't know, in short, you can teleport students to all the extreme yin places in the world, to break all kinds of existences there that can threaten the balance of the ghost gate. ”
Du Sheng calmed down and continued: "I am personally more inclined to the second guess, in the past 30 years since the establishment of the school, the number of supernatural events has indeed decreased a lot, so the issue of death is indeed an important reason. But what..."
Li Xumu lit the cigarette and frowned for Du Sheng's further explanation.
"However, most people still believe in the first guess, there has always been some unknown power hidden in Yungang University....this place is not just as simple as the gate of the netherworld, the most important thing is that it also suppresses a certain ...."Du Sheng realized something in the middle of his words and immediately stopped.
So he turned to Li Xumu and continued: "These things are not secrets, and it doesn't hurt to tell you. It's not just about the school affairs team and the psionics team. There are also more occult organizations dealing with paranormal disasters in the state institutions, and the water here is so deep that you and I can't learn all about it. ”
Du Sheng walked up to Li Xumu and patted him on the shoulder and said, "What I mean is that all the death issues here, everything with Yungang University are tacitly approved and even manipulated by the state. It is understandable that this practice of sacrificing a small number of people to protect the majority of people, after all, if it were anyone, they would not want the entire human civilization to be in chaos. When the two worlds of yin and yang converge, I think the world will become hell. ”
Li Xumu, who was in a heavy mood, sat down, and the puff of cigarette he inhaled made his body, which had been tense in Jinye Village, relax for a moment. In other words, all the lives that die because of the subject matter here can be regarded as contributing to human society? The fact that they were hidden in the snow will not be remembered by anyone, and no one will know that they existed except their families. No wonder I have never heard of Yungang University for such a long time, and there is definitely nothing that cannot be done with a country wiping your ass behind your back.
"Since we have been chosen, it is like being trapped in a swamp, and you and I have no choice. The only thing you can do in this university is to survive until you graduate. Compared to those two classmates, you are still lucky to be sitting here. So as freshmen, aren't you worth rejoicing that six of the eight survived? ”
Du Sheng lit a cigarette again, his eyes noticed the coldness on the side, he didn't say a word from the beginning to the present, and he didn't react at all to what he said, which was unusual for ordinary people to further verify the previous speculation.
At this moment, Jia Shengtao asked a question.
"I was a little puzzled. What if we had chosen to refuse to do the project in Jinye Village at that time, and found a way to leave that place and go back to school? Another point is, what happens if the project fails? ”
Du Sheng took the cigarette from his mouth and smiled, turned his attention to Jia Shengtao's side, and said, "Fleeing from the battle is the same as refusing to participate in the project, being haunted by evil spirits until you are killed. So the second question, what happens if you fail? Is the best outcome for all participants to die during the participation? As for the worst outcome....the evil spirits in the subject will be hunted down to Yungang University! Causing more tragic deaths of innocent lives! ”
Jia Shengtao took off his torn glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose between his eyes with pretending to be calm, but he was afraid for a while. At that time, when he was in Jinye Village, Zhang Qi also suggested that everyone find a way to escape from the village.
Du Sheng continued to look at Leng Jue, and said curiously, "You are a member of the Psionic Group." I've known this since we last met in the girls' dormitory. ”
Li Xumu was taken aback when he heard this, and his eyes quickly looked over to observe Leng Jue's reaction.
I saw Leng Jue raise his head, and the smile that he had always had on his lips.
At this moment, pictures flashed in Li Xumu's mind. I still remember that the middle-aged man I met in sleepwalking before who was opened by a falling object asked a sentence: "Do you know how to go to Yungang University?" ”
I can be sure that the one I met at that time was a ghost. And a dead person asked this sentence, which also confirmed the statement that Yungang University is a ghost gate.
Leng Jue also mentioned this matter, indicating that he had yin and yang eyes and communicated with the middle-aged man who was stoned to death. As for why the two communicated, Li Xumu then thought of the scene when they first met coldly on the bus.
At that time, I saw the female ghost next to the cold seat in a flash. The man in sunglasses who suddenly went crazy and jumped out of the car window confirmed that these ghosts did have something to do with Leng Jue.
The psionic group is one of the two major organizations of Yungang University, and if Leng Jue is one of them....
A bold guess flashed in Li Xumu's mind. Leng Jue uses the ability of the Yin and Yang Eyes, and is mainly responsible for bringing the ghosts that travel in the world to Yungang University?!
