"That day, I woke up in the middle of the night and had diarrhea. Our dorm is a communal bathroom, so I walked alone in the empty hallway and felt cold. Xiao Li sat across the coffee table and spoke emotionally.

"Are your parents not caring enough about you?" I interrupted her abruptly and asked.

He was obviously confused, and didn't understand why I was asking a question that couldn't be hit with an eight-stroke.

I took a sip of tea and said, "How did you go to such a shabby school that doesn't even have a separate bathroom?" ”

He gave me a blank look and continued, "Before I even entered the bathroom, I heard the sound of someone flushing. Then I walked in. There is no one outside, there are 4 squatting positions, one of which is a cleaning room. The more Xiao Li spoke, the slower he became, and a look of fear appeared on his face.

"I habitually opened the second room and squatted down. And then—" He was about to get to the point.

"You know what?" I interrupted her again: "A young man your age won't wake up at night. So, you're kidney deficient. People with kidney deficiency are particularly prone to fear and always like to talk automatically..."

"Do you want me to continue?" Xiao Li said excitedly.

"Okay, okay, you say." I picked up my teacup.

"Then I lit a cigarette, and I didn't know how to slip my hand, and the lighter fell to the ground, and then it slipped next door to the right." Xiao Li shuddered: "I scolded at the time, and lowered my head to see where the lighter fell." Outcome... I didn't see any, and I didn't see any feet! ”

"There is no one in the two rooms on the right." I would care.

Xiao Li nodded, his face was extremely pale, "Yes!" That means that people are in the first room. I took it for granted. He paused and continued, "I'm wondering if at this time, from the bottom left, is... A lighter came out! "Speaking of which, I feel like he's going to stop breathing." I bet that's a woman's hand! Because of the nail polish, black nail polish. I was shocked! ”

"It doesn't have to be a woman's hand." I shook my head.

Xiao Li glared at me and continued, "I feel embarrassed because I'm!" And I thought about how a woman could come to the men's bathroom, but I still silently picked up the lighter, lit a cigarette, and said thank you. ”

I agreed: "It's a thoughtful gesture"

Xiao Li's breathing became rapid again, and he looked at me with horror in both eyes, "She didn't speak at that time. Then I put the lighter back in and thought she would take it, but she didn't! That lighter was lying there like that, and she didn't take it. I didn't hear any movement during this time, i.e. no one left the bathroom and no one came in, I'm sure because it was quiet! ”

I disagreed: "Anyway, I know that people with kidney deficiency are a little deaf in their ears. ”

Xiao Li swallowed: "I said something about your lighter at the time, but no one answered me, and there was no movement." I thought it was wrong, and I wondered if she was embarrassed or looking at her phone. When I came out, I went to the sink to wash my hands, and I said to the first room that I will put the lighter next to the sink and you can take it when you come out, and then I was going to leave. There's no way I'm going to knock on the door because of girls. ”

I nodded, motioning for him to continue.

"At this time, someone came in, a man, he was very anxious to go straight to the first room, and before I could stop him, he opened the door. My mouth was open, but it was empty! ”

The air fell silent.

Xiao Li took a deep breath: "I watched him walk in and slammed the door shut. I was stunned and didn't come back to my senses for a long time. Holding the lighter in my hand, I felt very cold..."

"What lighter?" I wondered.

Xiao Li glared at me: "You've been curious about this for a long time?" ”

I nodded solemnly: "The type of lighter determines the character and quality of this ghost, and also determines what strategy it applies to you. Is it a rough fright, or a gentle intimidation. Of course I'm curious. ”

"Speak quickly!" I urged.

"It's a retro flint lighter, black tin box, and it's pretty cool. I've thrown it away. ”

"You threw it away?" I was surprised.

"I'm so scared that she will come back and ask me for a lighter, and who would want such a horrible thing!" Xiao Li cried with a sad face.

"It's not scary, it's just a lighter, it's the key thing that the ghost left in this world, and it's an effective way for us to investigate it, okay?" I held my head to the door.

"Is it so exaggerated..."Xiao Li disagreed: "Then you say, what type of ghost is she?" ”

I took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Black nail polish, vintage lighter." Well... It may be a woman with a personality and melancholy, who likes vinyl records and heavy metal rock, thinks that the world doesn't understand her, and finally chooses to end her life and say goodbye to the world by herself. ”

"It's really fake," said Little Richie.

"If that's the case, that's fine." I stretched out a finger: "Judging from the first time she contacted you, she didn't actually deliberately scare you, but just kindly lent you a lighter, pay attention, it's borrowed!" It can be inferred that she may have asked you for something later, not to harm you or anything like that. Moreover, combined with her personality identity, the so-called ghost has no habit and cannot be associated with it, with no affection, since she loves music, she is often persistent and affectionate, such a ghost will not harm people for no reason, most of them are just unfulfilled wishes! ”

"Obviously, people can't be friends with people who have no habits, and they can't be affectionate..."Xiao Li muttered.

I gave him a blank look: "Aren't ghosts changed by people?" ”

"So what do I do now?" Xiao Li looked at me with a look of longing in his eyes. "I'm going to get the lighter back!" I say. Xiao Li hurriedly said: "I threw the lighter into the lake!" "You!"

I leaned back on the couch and looked at the ceiling and thought, "Now I have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night to poop again!" ”

"I don't want to, I don't in the middle of the night anymore!" Xiao Li waved his hand again and again.

I looked at him with disgust in my eyes: "Don't worry, I didn't ask you to go." ”

"What do you mean? You in the middle of the night? ”

"I was dismissive of a little case like yours, but for the sake of you being introduced by an acquaintance, I'll help you once. However, five hundred cannot be less! ”

Xiao Li snapped a few soft girl coins on the table, and said with a smile: "That's it!" ”

After Xiao Li left, I sat alone on the sofa and fell into thinking,

Why did this ghost find Xiao Li? There can only be two reasons: first, Xiao Li has something to do with this ghost's past. However, the inference from his demeanor and description is not valid. Then it can only be the second situation: Xiao Li has been singing bad luck recently, his spirit is not good, he is easy to be entangled in yin affairs, the ghost sister's spiritual power is not high, and the person with strong yang energy does not dare to approach, so he is looking for him.

As for me, I am actually a person with a yin physique, and I am also prone to ghosts. How dare I do this without fear of accidents, you ask? Hehe, because I have a treasure book, I have my Guide to Tricksters.

On the same day, I asked Xiao Li to give me my student ID, and then asked him to ask for a day off from school and go out for a night by himself. I took advantage of the student's class during the day, sneaked into his dormitory wearing his ID, managed to get a yellow sign that read "Under maintenance, stop using", scooped two scoops of feces and splashed them on the floor of their public bathroom, and then put the sign at the door. Next, I went to Xiao Li's dormitory to sleep, and waited for the night to do things.

"Oh, it stinks, why hasn't the toilet been repaired in a day, I have to go downstairs to pee!" As soon as one of Xiao Li's fat roommates entered the door, he shouted. Another boy with oily hair and black-rimmed glasses also echoed: "It's still good in the morning, I don't know how all the leaked, it's disgusting!" ”

I slept on the top bunk, covered with my head and body, and snickered as I listened to their conversation. It's half past ten in the evening, and you can start drying in another hour and a half!

I only heard the tall boy in my bunk say: "It's miserable tonight, I have to go downstairs in the middle of the night, it's cold." The others laughed, and the group laughed at him: "Who made you have kidney deficiency, haha, pray don't run into female ghosts, let you ****!" The tall boy retorted: "You are only kidney deficiency, Xiao Li also went to the toilet in the middle of the night, why don't you say that he has kidney deficiency?" ”

"He must also have kidney deficiency, why else would he lie in bed so early? Speaking of which, you both go to the toilet in the middle of the night and still have kidney deficiency, what's going on? "Those two were unforgiving, and they laughed very obscenely.

But I was in my heart, it seems that the tall boy in Xiao Li's lower bunk may also belong to the person who walks bad luck, why didn't he meet a female ghost?

By twelve o'clock, neither the tall boy nor the oil-haired boy had any intention of sleeping. I cursed in my heart, rub, how do I go to the bathroom in a while? Just thinking this, the tall boy snapped and turned off the light, and then went to bed. Only the oil-haired ones are still playing games. I waited for a while, and saw that he was still intoxicated anyway, so I quietly arranged to get out of bed, made it look like someone, and then crept out of bed, but fortunately he didn't notice it at all.

The lights in the hallway are off, but the lights in the bathroom are still on. Half of the dormitories on both sides are still lit, and some dormitories have their doors open, and one or two naked men can be seen from time to time. Although it was much quieter, I could still faintly hear all kinds of noise.

I slowly walked towards the bathroom, thinking that it might be early, but I still need to get ready. There was still a stench from the bathroom, and the doors of the dormitories in the neighborhood were closed. I put on my mask and quickly slipped into the bathroom.

As Xiao Li said, there is a squatting position opposite the door, the door is closed, the right turn is the urine trough, and the outside is the wash sink and mirror. Overall, the whole space was cramped.

I checked first to make sure there was no one inside. Then close the door, but use a yellow warning sign to jam the crack in the door to avoid locking. Then, I pinched a small electric rod in my hand, and as soon as I pressed the switch, it would generate an electric current, which was enough to make a person jump up, but without dizziness. If you encounter a ghost with bad intentions, it can come in handy, and it can make people sober up instantly.

The next thing is the point, I'm going to let this ghost girl take the initiative to find me. Because I deduced that the ghost sister was not aimed at Xiao Li, but would approach all the people who were in decline, that is, cast a wide net. So if I exhibit similar behavior in the toilet, there's a good chance she'll show up. Then if I pretended to have dropped the lighter, she would have given me her lighter as well, so that I would have the lighter that had been thrown into the lake.

Just do it. I went into the second squat, then crouched down and pulled out my cigarette, and then I threw the lighter to the ground on the right side of the ground and let it slide to the right compartment. Then I stared silently at the ground to the left, ready for a woman's hand and an old-fashioned lighter.

It's quiet now. The noise outside was almost inaudible, and I got used to the smell of after staying inside for a long time, so I was very engrossed.

The hand didn't appear.

One minute, five minutes, ten minutes, and it still didn't show up. My legs were numb, but I still didn't move. What went wrong? Nope...

I wondered. I waited another ten minutes, but there was still no response. I think I may have failed. I was about to get up and open the door, but there was a sound of the door opening...

You know, I threw on the bathroom, it stinks, and it's impossible for anyone to want to approach it. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be so excited that I didn't dare to move even if I held my breath.

Someone seemed to walk in, but the footsteps were faint. Then I heard the door of the first room open and close again. I listened closely, and I could hear very faint movements, but definitely not the sound of unraveling, and this strange sound lasted for seven or eight minutes. I didn't dare to speak, so I waited.

Just as I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly heard several distinct grinding sounds, a bit like fingernails scratching the ground. My heart jumped, and although I was a little scared, I decided to take a peek, even though it was a risky decision.

I bent over the ground and tried my best to look at the ground next door. And then, I saw -

A pair of feet in black high heels.

I almost snorted in excitement. The main owner finally appeared.

I returned to my normal squatting position, thinking about what she would do to communicate with me. She didn't give me a lighter, she just stood like this, what did she mean?

I waited for a long time, it was quiet in the cubicle, and she didn't make any moves.

I smiled, but luckily I had the foresight to prepare a lot of lighters. So I took out another lighter and threw it directly to the ground on the left. I'm giving you a clear enough chance, isn't it?

On this quiet night, the sound of the lighter falling to the ground was crisp, like a war drum beating people's hearts, and like a stone smashing open a mirror. As soon as the sound died down, the air fell silent again. I kept my glued eye on the ground, expecting something to happen.

But there was no movement. There was no reaction at all from the next door. No, since it appeared, there's no reason not to communicate with me.

I gritted my teeth and threw another lighter over. I don't believe you're indifferent. It turned out that there was still no movement. I threw another one, but to no avail. Throw again, fail. I threw ten, and the other person didn't react at all.

I'm so annoyed that I'm running out of lighters, what the hell do you want? Before I knew it, I was singing a cappella.

"What do you want from me, what do you want... No matter what, I can stay with you until dawn."

I was in the bathroom for so long that I shivered from the cold. That's why the singing is low and dumb, and it's worse than a ghost.

At the moment when my voice fell, I heard a bang, as if the door next door had been slammed open, followed by the sound of high heels hurriedly stepping on the floor, followed by a loud bang, and the bathroom door was opened. Then there was a snap and something was kicked off, then there was a thud that seemed to be someone falling, then there was a tumbling sound, and then a man was heard crying wolf.

"Damn,!"

I froze, what's going on?

Outside, there was the sound of footsteps walking away, followed by the sound of jagged doors opening, and then all kinds of exclamations: "Rub, is that a woman running over?" "What the hell?" "Damn, isn't that Luo Zhen?"

……

The next night, the café.

"After serving you, how can you come up with such a bad idea, do you know how many days our dormitory has been stinking?" Xiao Li glared at me and complained.

I looked at him innocently: "It's all your tall roommate with a dressophile, it's called Luo Zhen or what, damn, who knew that he would run to the toilet in the middle of the night to wear black silk high heels, and he still felt sorry for himself"

Xiao Li smiled bitterly: "You threw ten lighters at him, didn't say a word, and sang some huge horror songs, you really scared him!" ”

"He didn't speak!" I muttered.

"How dare he speak like that?"

"Anyway, the plan failed, and I couldn't get in touch with that ghost girl."

"So what now?" Xiao Li asked.

"Let me think about it. Perhaps, the ghost girl won't come. Maybe she's really just helping you. ”

Xiao Li's eyes lit up: "Really? That's great! ”。

After separating from Xiao Li, I walked home alone, thinking hard about the reason why the ghost sister didn't show up. There must be some special reason. Suddenly, I had a flash of inspiration and hurriedly took out my mobile phone and called Xiao Li.

"Hey, what's wrong? I'm going to the bathroom," Li asked from there.

"Rub, I know why the ghost sister didn't come. You throw a lighter into the lake, and the flint can't be hit when it gets wet, so it can't light a cigarette, so I throw so many lighters, and she doesn't show up," I said excitedly.

"Oh, so what?" Xiao Li was on the other end of the phone, obviously a little confused: "What does this mean?" ”

I was about to answer, when I heard some murmur on the other end of the phone, and then, a low, ethereal female voice said—

"Pay me for my lighter!"
