Chapter VIII: Deliberation

"What did you say?!" Liu Wei's face turned white all of a sudden, and she stood up excitedly slapping the table. And the volume of her speech unconsciously increased a little.

Her excited reaction attracted the attention of the other students around her, and with two young male teachers sitting in front of her, Liu Wei was a little flustered. She whispered to the two, "Let's go out and talk, it's not convenient here." ”

"You believe us that?" Dai Shikai was a little surprised, the reason why he chose to meet in the cafeteria was mainly because he was afraid that Liu Wei would have scruples about them.

"Hmm. Because I have that hunch too. The two were a little surprised, the girl in front of them was more intelligent than they expected. The three of them left the cafeteria, and in order to avoid being gossiped about and having a bad impact on Liu Wei, they found a café near the school gate and chose a relatively secluded location to sit down.

After making sure that the people around him would not hear what they were talking about, Lu Qing spoke: "Since you are a smart person, it also saves us the effort of explaining. You believe there are ghosts in this world, right? ”

"Hmm." Liu Wei nodded firmly, what happened last night was definitely not her hallucination or dream.

"I remember you mentioned a detail where you once saw the legs of that female ghost in the bathroom." Lu Qing said, pulled up a photo from his mobile phone, and handed it to Liu Wei: "This is what we found in the classroom where Xu Jian died, look at it, are these shoes the same as the shoes on the female ghost's feet?" ”

Liu Wei took the phone, and after seeing the red canvas shoes in the photo, her pupils shrank suddenly: "That's right, it's these shoes!" The one who killed Xu Jian was the female ghost I saw last night! ”

"Not only that, but the two people who died before should have been killed by this female ghost." Dai Shikai pushed his glasses and asked, "We have investigated for a long time, and we have not found any intersection between these people. Why did you say that Xu Jian and the two deceased were friends in the car this afternoon? ”

"I heard from my roommate Qi Yu." Liu Wei explained: "She also mentioned this incident before going to bed last night, saying that Xu Jian and they are not good people. ”

"Can you text her and ask her?" Dai Shikai asked unrelentingly.

"Yes." Liu Wei took out her mobile phone and asked while sending a message to the other party: "Is this matter important?" ”

"Hmm. Perhaps we can find out about the motive of the ghost killing. Lu Qing replied.

Soon, Qi Yu replied to Liu Wei's message, and the text message said that she worked in a fast restaurant outside the school, and often saw Xu Jian and the two boys passing by nearby talking and laughing, so they said that they were friends.

However, since these three people have a good relationship outside of school, why do they behave like strangers in school? What kind of secrets are hidden behind these three people? There must be a reason why the ghosts chose to attack them.

As long as this mystery is solved, it seems that all problems will be solved.

Lu Qing planned not to delve into this matter first, because right now, there was a more important matter that they needed to solve.

The time when Liu Wei hit the ghost was around one o'clock, and as for Xu Jian's death, Lu Qing speculated that it was half past eleven in the middle of the night. The ghost must have appeared in the girls' dormitory building after killing him.

"Is the time of Xu Jian's death the same time when Xiaorou answered the phone three days ago?" Liu Wei is indeed very smart and effortlessly follows the train of thought of the two. This makes Dai Shikai very pleased, and it is indeed very comfortable to deal with smart people.

"What about the interval between deaths?" Liu Wei finally asked the most worrying question in her heart.

And Lu Qing's next words also made her fall into despair: "Three days." ”

In other words, tonight, Mao Xiaorou will be killed by a ghost. And when did I receive that weird phone call......

She stood up abruptly and said eagerly to the two: "I remember it was 9:20, and I looked at the time when she went to the bathroom after self-study that night!" Oh no, I have to go back ......"

It's already half past six in the evening, that is to say, there are less than three hours left before Mao Xiaorou is killed!

"Don't worry, listen to me." Lu Qing grabbed Liu Wei: "Are you sure you can protect her?" ”

Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, and the terrifying figure from last night reappeared in her mind. She shook her head with a pale face, and then realized something more serious: "I also received a call, does that mean ......?"

"That's right, you're cursed too. After Mao Xiaorou's death, you will be next. Dai Shikai's merciless words made the girl's legs weak, and she almost lost the strength to speak.

Liu Wei's eyes were red, and her voice was a little choked: "I don't understand, what we did wrong, why we were targeted by ghosts." ”

"Girl, have you watched "The Grudge" or "Midnight Bell"?" Dai Shikai sighed and sat down beside her: "Which of those victims in the movie is damned?" Most of them are innocent victims. But Sadako, Aga, Coconut, or something won't tell you these truths, they have no feelings, and they only have endless resentment and killing in their hearts. Being targeted by this kind of ghost can only be said to be unlucky. ”

After Dai Shikai finished speaking, Liu Wei cried directly. Thinking of the despair and fear when those people died in horror movies, Liu Wei felt that she might as well commit suicide now.

"Ah...... Don't cry......" Seeing that his kind comfort turned out to be counterproductive, Dai Shikai was a little helpless for a while, so he had to helplessly ask Lu Qing beside him: "Brother, help ...... help"

"What are you talking about?" Lu Qing glared at him with some headaches, and then took over the conversation: "Don't listen to his nonsense." Death can strike at any time, and many people die every year from earthquakes or tsunamis. In the face of natural disasters, human beings are so small and helpless. The same is true in the presence of ghosts. ”

Dai Shikai just wanted to interject, you are not as comforting as me, but then, Lu Qing's words changed: "But unlike those earthquakes and tsunamis, you still have a chance to resist now!" Man can be destroyed, but not defeated. Do you want to just give up hope and die, or do you want to give it a go? ”

"I ......" Liu Wei raised her head with teary eyes, but met a pair of resolute eyes.

"Trust me, we'll do everything we can to protect you." Lu Qing assured her.

"Are you undercover police agents?" Liu Wei always felt that the two people in front of her didn't seem to be as simple as the teacher. Otherwise, they would not have been so actively involved in the investigation of ghost homicide cases.

"Little sister, the police don't care about these things." Dai Shikai replied with some amusement.

"Are you exorcists, then? Do you have the means to deal with those ghosts? ”

If he had props in hand before, Dai Shikai could still brag about himself unashamedly. But now, in order to accompany Lu Qing on this third mission, the space has also deprived him of the right to use props.

"It's not convenient to say who we are, you just need to know that we're here to help you." Lu Qing said secretly. And although Liu Wei had doubts about the identities of the two, after listening to Lu Qing's comfort, her despair calmed down a lot.

Lu Qing thoughtfully poured a cup of hot water for her: "Don't be afraid, we will protect you and your friends in the next few days." Because the two of us can't blend into the girls' dormitory, now you need to take Mao Xiaorou out of the school. And we will open a room for you in a nearby hotel, and then guard you every step of the way. ”

"If you make it through tonight, your friend should be fine." Dai Shikai's words made Liu Wei find hope, if Mao Xiaorou can escape, it should mean that she will also be out of danger.

So she cheered up and got up from her seat: "Okay, without further ado, I have to hurry back to find Xiaorou." ”
