Chapter 6: Cursed Telephone
It takes more than half an hour's drive to get back to school, and on the way back, Mao Xiaorou in the back row fell asleep on Liu Wei's shoulder because she was physically and mentally exhausted.
And Liu Wei was still thinking about what the police had just said, Dai Shikai found through the rearview mirror that she had been absent-minded.
"Classmate, your name is Liu Wei, right?" Dai Shikai's words brought her thoughts back to reality. Liu Wei sat up a little cramped, looked at the young professor driving in front of her, and responded nervously, "Yes, teacher." ”
"Don't be nervous, I'll talk to you casually." Dai Shikai showed a friendly smile and tried to be as approachable as possible: "Mao Xiaorou and her boyfriend have a deep relationship. It can be seen that her boyfriend's death has dealt her a lot of blows. Merely...... At that time, we didn't expect her to break into the classroom, so the bloody scene was clearly seen by her, and you must accompany her well when you return to the dormitory. ”
"I recommend taking her to see a psychiatrist when I have time, so that this accident will not have a bad effect on her in the future." Lu Qing, who was driving, also added.
"Okay, thank you, teacher." Liu Wei was a little surprised, she didn't expect these two teachers to care so much about students, and her heart warmed a lot.
"By the way, there's something I want to ask you about this school." Dai Shikai turned his head and said with a smile: "You see, although we are teachers, we are actually not much older than you." So, you don't have to be so reserved in front of us, we're not like those old-fashioned bad old men. ”
His words eased the tension in Liu Wei's heart a lot, and the girl smiled shyly: "Okay, teacher, what do you want to ask?" ”
"The two of us are out of town, and we have just come to M City. I just want to inquire, is there really a rumor that our school is haunted or something? Before that, had there been any strange deaths of other students? ”
After listening to Dai Shikai's words, Liu Wei shook her head: "Except for these three incidents, there are none." Since I entered the school, the school has been doing well. As for the rumors of haunting...... I'm not very interested in these things, and I rarely hear anyone else talk about them. ”
From Liu Wei's words, the two learned that the ghosts in this mission should have nothing to do with the school. Dai Shikai let out an "oh" and was about to ask for other clues, but at this time, Liu Wei took the initiative to speak.
"Teacher, Xu Jian, did they really commit suicide?"
"Why do you ask?" Lu Qing squinted at Liu Wei in the rearview mirror, and his intuition told him that this girl should know something.
"Because the three people who died were not only our classmates, as far as I know, Xu Jian seems to be friends with those two people in private." Liu Wei hesitantly glanced at Mao Xiaorou beside her, and after making sure that she was asleep, she whispered: "Although the dead are important, I shouldn't speak ill of them." But...... The three of them were a little embarrassed when they were alive, and I wonder if they will be retaliated against because they have offended someone......"
"The three deceased were friends when they were alive?" Dai Shikai raised his eyebrows, according to their investigation, the first two deceased did not have much contact before their deaths, except for being in the same department, Lu Qing and Dai Shikai did not expect that they still knew each other: "Do you know anything else?" ”
"Liu Wei, I have noticed one thing from just now." Lu Qing spoke again: "You seem to be very afraid of ghosts." Several times when you hear people talk about hauntings, including when you first mention it, your expression is terrified. ”
"Ahh It's ......" Liu Wei raised her head and happened to collide with Lu Qing's eyes in the rearview mirror.
"If you have any thoughts or experiences, just let us know."
For some reason, the other party's gaze made Liu Wei feel very safe and secure, and she blurted out almost without any hesitation: "Yes teacher, in fact, I saw it in the bathroom of the girls' dormitory last night...... Ghost. ”
"So you mean, after that weird phone call, what happened later?" After listening to her, Lu Qing sorted out the key points: "Are you sure that the call was made by Mao Xiaorou?" ”
"Hmm. I'm sure it's Xiaorou's voice. Not only that, but there was a strange man on the other end of the phone. He seemed scared, and the voice sounded particularly familiar...... But...... I just can't remember......" Liu Wei said, her expression becoming confused.
"Liu Wei, let me ask you, did Mao Xiaorou's boyfriend make the same call to her before he died? Or, did Mao Xiaorou's boyfriend ever receive such a strange call? ”
After listening to Lu Qing's words, Liu Wei's face instantly turned extremely pale. And after seeing her reaction, the two immediately came to a conclusion in their hearts.
"Yes! I remember reassuring me last night that it was just a popular prank. Liu Wei's voice trembled: "She said that Xu Jian also received such a call a few days ago, and it was Xu Jian who told her so." ”
After Liu Wei finished speaking, she suddenly realized that the reason why Xu Jian said this was because the people around him had also received similar calls?
And those people may be the two boys who died before!
Fear crawled all over her body like ants, Liu Wei only felt that her scalp was numb, and the cold sweat in her palms became more and more.
Because her body was shaking so much, Mao Xiaorou also woke up in a daze: "What's wrong Liu Wei?" ”
"Xiaorou, let me ask you, did you receive a call from Xu Jian?" Liu Wei is a smart person, and Lu Qing's few words made him understand something: "It's the kind of prank phone call that is inexplicable and will suddenly disappear afterwards." ”
As soon as she heard Xu Jian's name, Mao Xiaorou's eyes suddenly turned red. Seeing that she was about to cry again, Liu Wei shook her shoulders anxiously, and her volume increased a lot: "Don't cry!" I ask you, did you receive it! It's a very important thing, think about it! ”
Mao Xiaorou had never seen the other party show such a serious expression, and was taken aback. She looked at Liu Wei blankly, and then nodded: "Yes, it seems to be the night of three days ago, and it was more than eleven o'clock in the middle of the night." I went to bed early that day......"
At that time, Mao Xiaorou connected the phone in a daze, and after listening for a few seconds, she found that no one spoke on the other end of the phone.
I vaguely heard the sound of ticking, and saw that it was Xu Jian calling, and I asked a few more questions, but he never answered. I thought he had accidentally pressed the wrong button and hung up. The next day, the call record also disappeared into the phone, so Mao Xiaorou didn't take it to heart, and even thought it was just a dream of her own.
Lu Qing and Dai Shikai exchanged a look with each other. 3 days ago......
It's been ten days since they entered the mission, and according to their observations, every three days, the ghosts kill a person.
And now it seems that the methods of killing ghosts also have something in common:
Each victim will receive a cursed call from the previous deceased, and the person who receives the call will die three days later.
Dai Shikai looked at the two people in the rearview mirror. If I'm not mistaken, tonight, this girl named Mao Xiaorou will be killed by a ghost.
And after she died, the next one was her companion Liu Wei!
