Chapter 7: Friends
"What the hell is going on?" After Mao Xiaorou finished speaking, she found that Liu Wei's face had become ugly.
"It's okay, just ask." Liu Wei glanced at Dai Shikai, and the other party shook his head quietly, signaling her not to say it. And Mao Xiaorou was immersed in the news of her boyfriend's death, and did not ask the reason again.
Along the way, everyone fell silent.
Lu Qing and Dai Shikai in the front row were quickly analyzing and sorting out tasks in their minds, while Liu Wei looked at Mao Xiaorou beside her worriedly, not knowing whether to hide it from her.
Although she didn't know the interval between ghost killings, Liu Wei could feel that Mao Xiaorou was in danger now.
Not only her, but even herself received that phone call.
Does it mean that if Xiaorou dies, then it will be her turn next?
Liu Wei's face turned pale, and she silently tightened the corner of her clothes.
Soon, several people were back at school. At this time, it was already half past five in the afternoon, and seeing that it was about to get dark, Liu Wei, who was tired for a day, decided to take Mao Xiaorou back to the dormitory to rest first. After sending the two downstairs to the dormitory, Lu Qing and Dai Shikai turned around and left here.
"Rest well." Before leaving, Lu Qing admonished.
"Thank you, teacher." Liu Wei thanked her, and she noticed that the other party's eyes were quite meaningful, and she seemed to want to say something to herself.
"Liu Wei, Xiaorou, you're back!"
On the other side, roommates Zhao Lili and Qi Yu happened to go downstairs, and when they saw their roommates returning, they immediately stepped forward to appease Mao Xiaorou.
"That doesn't bother you, goodbye." Dai Shikai pushed his glasses.
"Goodbye, teacher!" Zhao Lili looked at them a few more times with some nostalgia, and then turned her attention back to her roommate.
Seeing that the two of them left without looking back, although Liu Wei was full of doubts, she still decided to take care of Mao Xiaorou first.
"Let's go, let's go back to the dormitory first." As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt the phone in her pocket vibrate.
Liu Wei took out her mobile phone and was surprised to find that it was a text message from Professor Lu just now. The content above is very simple, the other party made an appointment to meet at the school cafeteria at six o'clock, and also deliberately emphasized that as long as she is alone.
Although the other party only let her go to the appointment alone, Liu Wei didn't think that they would pose any threat to her. Besides, six o'clock is dinner, and there are a lot of people in the cafeteria, so it is very safe for her to meet there.
Most importantly, she always felt that the two teachers seemed to know something. Especially after he said what happened to the hell last night, the other party not only did not show a suspicious expression, on the contrary, seemed to believe what she said very much.
At the moment, Liu Wei didn't pay much attention. I'm not a local, and it's not convenient to go home; Mao Xiaorou's side was already troublesome enough, even if she told her about it, it would only increase her fear.
It seems that the only ones you can rely on are those two teachers.
On the other side, after Lu Qing sent a text message to Liu Wei, he and Dai Shikai found a secluded bench and sat down. This was their tenth day on the mission, and unlike anything before, they hadn't been attacked in any way from the beginning to the present.
This alone has already surprised the two.
"Is it because we haven't been in contact with the dead that we're not being targeted by ghosts?" Dai Shikai spoke first: "Brother Qing, it's been so many days now, and there are no signs at all." Could it be that this time the ghost is a targeted killing, as long as we don't intervene, we won't be attacked? ”
"Although there is no time limit for this mission, it requires us to actively intervene in the incident and find out the truth." Lu Qing looked at the girls' dormitory in the distance and lit a cigarette: "If you choose to stay out of the matter, or if you don't save the victim, I'm afraid you will be killed directly by the space." ”
"Professor Lu, it's not good for you to influence you like this." Although Dai Shikai was so ridiculous, he did not hesitate to take the cigarette handed by Lu Qing and lit one for himself.
It turns out that they don't have such a habit, but in the mission, sometimes not only physically, but also mentally are under great pressure. At this time, the effect of cigarettes is particularly obvious, and smoking a few cigarettes can also effectively help them relieve stress and relax their minds. Over time, Lu Qing and Dai Shikai also developed the habit of smoking.
Dai Shikai spat out the smoke ring and said leisurely: "This time, the space will only give us a hint a few minutes before the victim dies, so that we can rush to the scene of the crime." But every time Lu Qing and Dai Shikai arrived, the victims were dead.
Of course, in these days, they have also investigated information about the deceased. So far, although the two have a lot of information, they are really useful.
The first deceased, Zhuang Bo, jumped from the top floor of the school building in the evening and died on the spot. If it's just an ordinary suicide by jumping off a building, forget it, but the most terrifying thing about this incident is that Zhuang Bo almost didn't have a good skin on his body when he died, and his bloody skin was hanging on the barbed wire on the top floor. No one knows why he chose such a cruel way to end himself.
On the morning of the fourth day after Zhuang Bo's death, another boy named Zhao Tianyu was also found dead in the basketball hall. His body was hanging under the backboard, and the rope used to hang himself was none other than his own intestines.
In the first case, there were several students in addition to them, and the second was the same. In order to avoid suspicion, in the previous case, both chose to hide their whereabouts in a low-key manner.
Regarding the intersection of Zhuang Bo and Zhao Tianyu before their deaths, they only found that both of them were students of the Department of Information Engineering. Other than that, there is no close connection. There are thousands of teachers and students in this school, so this has also caused Lu Qing and the others to be unable to find new victims. It wasn't until Xu Jian's death today that they found Mao Xiaorou and Liu Wei.
The third deceased was Xu Jian, and the time of death is speculated, most likely around 11 o'clock in the evening. And when these three people died, they had one thing in common, that is, their mobile phones were all around them.
It's just that this time, from Liu Wei's mouth, the two unexpectedly learned that the relationship between the three deceased was not bad before their deaths.
"If it is said that Mao Xiaorou received a call at night three days ago, it was actually a call made to Xu Jian when she died." Dai Shikai analyzed: "So it seems that what Liu Wei heard on the phone should be what happened before Mao Xiaorou's death?" ”
"Well, I think the first few dead should be the same." Lu Qing couldn't help but think of a Japanese horror film called "Ghost Calling": "In this mission, the way ghosts kill people is very similar to that movie. ”
"Indeed." Dai Shikai has watched many horror films over the years, and he has a deep impression of this film: "This is an unsolvable horror movie." Besides, we don't even have a prop in our hands right now. If you target us, won't it be the end......"
"Don't worry, I think a new victim will only appear after killing Mao Xiaorou." Lu Qing believes that every time the ghost makes a move, he will only choose two people as targets. Once Mao Xiaorou is killed, a new victim will appear, receiving a cursed call from Liu Wei before she died.
"Also, there's one more thing worth noting." Lu Qing snuffed out the cigarette butt and stood up: "Why did Liu Wei say that these three people were friends before they were born?" We have found out so far, and the deceased's classmates have not said that they knew each other. ”
Lu Qing always felt that the secrets behind the three deceased people might not be simple.
On the other side, Mao Xiaorou's mood was very low, and the other two roommates stayed in the dormitory in order to comfort her. And Liu Wei offered to help everyone bring food, and slipped out of the dormitory at the right time. As agreed, she arrived at the cafeteria on time. And those two teachers seem to have been waiting for her.
"Since you're here, let's make a long story short." After Liu Wei sat down, the young professor went straight to the point and said, "That friend of yours, I'm afraid he won't survive tonight." ”
