Midnight Adventure
We've made an appointment to go on an adventure tonight. The destination is the small building at the southernmost end of the campus. We all call it a ghost building.
The so-called ghost building also used to be a girls' dormitory. Some legends about the ghost building are passed down from generation to generation by the mouths of students, and there are many kinds of them. One of the most widely circulated is that during the Cultural Revolution, there was a pair of lovers in this school, who were originally in love with each other, but the man took the initiative to expose some "politically reactionary remarks" that his lover had said for his own "progress". As a result, the woman couldn't stand the fact that she jumped from the top floor of the building after a criticism meeting. It is said that the female ghost has been staying on campus since then, and it seems that she is unwilling, and she has to wait for her lover to come out and ask what is going on. Although the legend is a legend, it has a name and a surname, a time and a place, and it sounds quite true. But in the year we've been here to study, nothing strange has happened. There are not even suicides that inevitably occur at universities due to circumstances or due to academic pressure. The so-called ghost building, in our eyes, is just a dilapidated old building with a seal and lock. This is not the only old building on campus that is so abandoned.
This year, the university began to expand its enrollment, and the number of students increased by almost 40 percent all at once. My university is open to nationwide recruitment, and there are students from all over the world, and even if all the students who live in the city are driven home, the dormitories are still not enough. After almost all the vacant rooms that could be used were put to use, the school and the dormitory department came up with the idea of a haunted building. Yesterday I met a few boys in the class, and they told me that the locks and seals of the ghost building had been removed, and someone had started cleaning inside. The freshmen are now participating in military training in the military camp in the suburbs, and there is about half a month left, and they will move in when they return.
The fourth child lowered his voice and said to me: "Girl, our brothers went to the ghost building to explore last night!" The smugness and excitement in his tone could not be concealed. The ghost building is not locked at night, and no one guards it. ”
"Oh?" I was also excited, "What's in it?" Tell me, what do you see? ”
He pretended to be mysterious, "I don't tell you, I want to know what to see for myself." Do you dare? ”
"What am I afraid of?" I wasn't at all ambiguous, "Just go!" ”
"Just by mouth," said the fourth, "bring back some souvenirs, there are still a lot of things in there." ”
"Take it." I didn't even think about it.
I really want to go. I am a very curious and adventurous person, always looking for excitement in the ordinary life. Immediately go and ask my good friend Sasha to visit the ghost building together at night. When Sasha heard my thoughts, she turned pale with fright. "Are you crazy? I don't go, and you don't go, it's terrible. ”
"What are you afraid of, with me." I encouraged her. Actually, God knows, I just wanted to find a companion to be brave when I was pulling her hard. After almost a full day of pestering, Sasha finally nodded reluctantly. She said, "It's better for me to go, take care of you, and save you from getting into trouble without fear of heaven and earth." ”
Sasha came out a little later than the appointed time. "Did you bring a flashlight?" I asked.
"Brought it." She said. It could be seen that Sasha was very scared, and her voice trembled slightly. Actually, I was a little nervous, but more excited, and I couldn't wait for tonight's adventure.
Ten minutes later, we were standing in front of the haunted building. At night, the old building looked even more eerie than during the day. The two doors opened and closed, and it was pitch black and nothing was visible. Sasha tugged at my sleeve and said, "Let's go back, I'm scared." "I could feel her hands cold through her clothes.
In fact, I looked at the dilapidated buildings under the moonlight, and I felt a little worried. But it's not my character to throw in. I said, "It's all here, how can I go back?" Let the fourth child know that they don't laugh to death. Come with me, it's okay. ”
I reached out and pushed open the half-hidden door. The door shaft creaked that hadn't been lubricated in a long time. I turned on my flashlight and shone it inside. The structure of the corridor is similar to the women's dormitory we live in now, confirming that this was indeed a dormitory in the past. I walked in front with my flashlight, Sasha followed behind me, and the hallway was so silent that I could hear only our footsteps, rustling, rustling.
Directly opposite the doorway was the water room, a drain faucet that glowed metallic in the bleak moonlight. Occasionally, a drop of water would drop, and the tiny sound would sound like the roar of a cannon in that situation. It must have been someone from the dormitory department who came to fix the water pipes during the day. I think.
To the left of the water room is the toilet, and the sign hanging at the door is crooked to the side. The toilet is the most common place where ghost stories happen on campus, so of course you have to go in and see it. I dragged Sasha in. I scanned up and down with my flashlight, and saw that almost all the corners were covered with cobwebs, and there were a few brooms lying on the ground. Some of the toilet partitions no longer have doors, and some of the doors have fallen off half, skewed against the wall. Sasha insisted on not going any further, and I had no choice but to retreat.
We walked down the corridor to the right. There are dormitories one by one. I pushed open the door to the first room, and the scene in the room greeted our eyes, which had begun to adjust to the darkness. On either side of the room are two rows of bunk beds, two on the left and one on the right, and next to it is a locker.
"That's an exaggeration," I said, "after all these years, I still use the same cabinet." Look, it's the same as the one in our dorm. Sasha obviously didn't have the heart to study this, and she said in a slightly trembling voice, "Let's go, it's enough to turn around." ”
I was about to say no, but what I was about to say was cut off by a voice we heard next.
We heard footsteps! The footsteps came from the direction of the hallway. Rustling, rustling, though gentle, but heard well in the silence of the night. It was the sound of footsteps, and it was coming closer and closer to the room we were!
The cold hairs on my body exploded all at once, and I subconsciously extinguished the flashlight in my hand. Sasha must have heard the voice, her face pale as paper in the moonlight. We stood still, and we didn't dare to come out, not knowing what to do. I heard the voice getting closer, but my hands and feet seemed to be detached from my body, and I couldn't move. The footsteps reached the door, paused, and then the door was slowly pushed open. We watched as the door slowly pushed open. A little bit, a little bit...... The moment the door was completely pushed open, I didn't know where I got the courage, and suddenly turned on the flashlight in my hand, and at the same time let out an irrepressible scream.
I wasn't the only one screaming, the guy who came in was screaming louder than I was. In the dim pillar of light of the flashlight, I saw a face that was also full of fear. But it turned out to be Wen Qing, a girl in the same class!
"It's going to scare people to death!" I said angrily, frightened, and my heart pounded violently.
"Who scared whom?" Wen Qing also seemed to be frightened. "You guys came here too, why didn't you say anything beforehand."
Sasha said, "Don't scare anyone, go back." She muttered, "I shouldn't have come." ”
"Go back, go back." Wen Qing said as he turned around and walked out, "It's just a broken building, there's nothing." Sasha and I walked out after her. But when I got to the door, I suddenly changed my mind. I said, "Go back first, and I'll take a look upstairs." ”
Sasha was visibly frightened by my sudden decision, and she said, "Are you crazy? Don't go, please. Wen Qing said: "I think there is something wrong with her, and she is not too dirty, there is dirt everywhere in this building." Ignore her, Sasha, let's go. Go back to sleep. ”
Sasha stood there hesitantly. To be honest, I don't want her to go, I'm still a little scared to stay alone, but I'm so strong that I can't say anything to keep her, and besides, she's timid, I don't want to embarrass her too much. Sasha looked at me, she knew me and knew it was impossible to convince me.
In the end, Sasha sighed and said, "Wenqing, you go back first." ”
"Two neuropaths." Wen Qing dropped a sentence and walked out of the door.
I'm glad Sasha stayed with me, she's always timid, and she avoids us when we tell ghost stories. I was really touched to be able to sacrifice for her friendship today, although I guess it was probably because she didn't dare walk back to her dorm at night alone. Wen Qing and we live in different dormitory buildings.
Sasha was obviously reluctant to stay, and as she went upstairs, she complained about why I hadn't made enough trouble. I said, "Wenqing dares to come with a woman, we are two people, wouldn't it be a loss to her." They didn't even bring a flashlight. ”
"Besides, I promised the fourth child to take something back as a souvenir." I say. Sasha stopped suddenly. She looked at me with a pleading look, "Don't do that," she said, "I've heard that something that moves a ghost will disturb her." Sasha's words made me shudder, and she said the word so nakedly, and in such a situation, the word made me shudder.
"Haha," I chuckled dryly, "I thought you were an atheist." Don't worry, there are no ghosts. It's all about scaring yourself, like you just met Wen Qing. She sighed, and I took her hand and continued upstairs, both of us having cold hands.
There are four floors in this building, and I dragged Sasha to the highest floor. I looked at Sasha's pale face and suddenly wanted to scare her, and I said, "Do you know why you're here?" I heard that the female ghost jumped from this floor back then. I regretted my cruelty a little when I finished speaking, because I saw Sasha almost crying with fright, and tears appeared in her eyes.
She grabbed my arm with both hands and said, "Let's go, I don't want to be here for a minute." Let's go. "Her pitiful appearance softened my heart. But since they've all come here, if you don't get something, you won't lose all your efforts.
I comforted her and said, "Just go, just go." ”
I pointed to the dorm room at the end of the hallway and said, "Go and look at that room and go." "That dormitory is the room where the legendary girl jumped downstairs.
Sasha apparently knew, and she looked at the door of the room in fear and said, "Don't go in." ”
Naturally, I wouldn't listen to her, so I pushed the door open and walked in.
After the horror of meeting Wen Qing downstairs just now, I became a little bolder. I shone my flashlight in all directions. The layout of this room is no different from the one downstairs except for the different orientation. Cluttered dirty shelves beds, cabinets, tables. There are also several posters of unknown age on the wall. The dust is so thick that I can't see the content of the painting clearly, and I can only see that it is very old. I searched up and down, wondering what to take with me.
Sasha was clearly uncomfortable with everything in the room, and stood there with a straight face. "Have you made enough trouble, let's go." She's obviously getting a little mad at me. "Alright, alright." I also felt like I was tossing a little too much, "It's boring, let's go." ”
However, the moment I turned around, something under the bed caught my attention as far as the flashlight could reach. "Look," I cried, "what is that?" ”
It was a notebook, lying quietly in an unnoticed corner under the bed by the window. As if I had found a treasure, I jumped over and reached out to grasp it in my hand. Sasha pleaded, "Don't mess with the contents of this house." I'll say it one last time, you put it back. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand as if he was going to snatch the notebook and throw it away.
"What are you afraid of?" I let her, afraid that she would come to grab it again, so I turned my back to her and began to look through it. But to my great disappointment, it turned out to be an empty notebook, and there was not a word in it.
I felt frustrated, but then I thought about it, no matter what, taking this thing back to show the fourth child is not a trip for nothing. At that moment, a piece of paper floated out of the notebook like a butterfly. I grabbed it with my hands and eyes.
That turned out to be a photo! My heart pounded with excitement at this sudden discovery. "Sasha, look! It's a picture! I shouted. On the back of the photo is a two-line text with the words "Huaiwu Save" written in a pen, and below is the inscription: "Ling." And then the year: 1969.
Huaiwu! Ling! Isn't that the name of the man and the woman in the legend! And the year, 1969, everything is right! It's amazing! I was ecstatic at what I had discovered, and if I took this picture back to show them to the fourth child, I would definitely admire them to death!
I cautiously flipped the photo over. It is a black-and-white photograph with a specific air of that era. It is a group photograph of a man and a woman standing side by side.
I said, "Sasha, look, this is the picture of the girl who jumped off the building and her boyfriend." Definitely yes! "I moved the flashlight closer so that I could see the two people in the photo more clearly.
"Look, how rustic the clothes they are wearing, this man looks quite energetic. This woman is pretty too. She... She... Wait," my tongue suddenly became disobedient, my hands began to tremble, and the flashlight trembled with it, "this woman, this woman, how do you look ......?"
Sasha's voice sounded behind me, and in the empty room, her usually gentle voice became poignant and eerie, and she said, "Why do you look exactly like me, don't you?" ”
