On the fourth night of living in a small building on Qingguang Avenue, Zhengqing and I stood on the balcony on the second floor.

There is an iron basin at his feet, Zhengqing is holding white wax in his hand, and I am holding ancient books.

After four or five minutes of silence, I finally made up my mind and reached out to take the candle in Zhengqing's hand and lit the ancient book.

Watching the light of the fire slowly devour most of the book from a corner, the paper ashes fluttering in the cold wind, some falling into the iron basin, some flying into the night sky, and some pounced on the body.

The black smoke from the burning of the ancient books slowly rose, and eventually the ancient books turned into ashes.

Since then, there is no longer an encyclopedia "Ghost Immortal Jue" that records the affairs of ten thousand ghosts, one hundred yin and yang.

I slowly took out the inner volume of "Ghost Immortal Jue" and wanted to ignite it, but was stopped by Zhengqing.

"Forget about this booklet, no one may understand it anyway, maybe it will be useful in the future."

"Okay." It doesn't matter if you burn this little thing or not, it's the most important thing to think about it.

Blowing out the ash and looking at the ashes on the ground, I chuckled.

Behold, it is this pile of black paper ashes on the ground that has ruined my royal family.

"Zhengqing, if we want to save Uncle Murong, we must first contact the people of the government, and it is urgent. The longer the time drags on, the more dangerous Uncle Murong becomes! It's been more than a month since Uncle Murong was arrested! ”

"Is there any way to get to know the people in the government?"

"I'm not from the Murong family now, and I can't have direct contact with people from the government." He pondered slightly, "You said that the people who came here are wearing chemical protective suits, and they are all personnel from the security center. ”

"It's not easy to meet them? Trouble! ”

"What's going on?"

"We don't have to make trouble, they will show up again soon." Zhengqing smiled mysteriously, leaned back leisurely, and leaned against the railing of the balcony behind him.

I don't ask if he doesn't say anything, but there's one more thing! An event that endangers the entire city of Denghai!!

"Do you find it strange? Why is Building 2 of our school a ghost domain? Why is there such a large spatial vortex in the No. 2 teaching building?

Don't you think the No. 2 Teaching Building, the Army Military Exercise Base, and the Jewelry Building are not quite right? In addition, Nanlu School, Qingyan University, and Qikai Hospital, are all these supernatural events too frequent?

Our Denghai University is located in the middle of Denghai City, the army military exercise base is in the west, and the jewelry building is in the east, the three are in the same line, and the distance between the latter two and Denghai University is about the same, and the time for strange things to happen is not short.

Qikai Hospital is in the southeast, Qingyan University is in the northwest, and Nanlu School is in the southwest. If Denghai City is represented by countless concentric circles, the Jewelry Building and the Army Military Exercise Base are on the same circle, and the South Road School, Qingyan University, and Qikai Hospital are in this circle. Most importantly, Denghai University is the origin of this circle!

Our entire Denghai City is like a big array, and the point where Denghai University is located is the center of the formation! ”

"What do you mean?" He straightened up and looked at me in confusion with a cautious look.

"I don't know if that's the case," what do I say? "I just feel like the whole Denghai City is like a huge ceremony, something has counted our entire Denghai City, and judging from more and more strange things, the things that calculate us are already starting to be started, or are about to be started."

He pondered for a moment, picked up the paper ash on the railing and gently twisted it in his hand: "Why do you think so?"

"There's no why." It's just a feeling.

Shaking my head, I held out my index finger and pointed to the sky: "Look, what can you see?"

"Nothing."

"Yes, nothing, every night since the beginning of winter, there is nothing in the sky, not even the Big Dipper, which is the most unlikely to disappear.

It is recorded in ancient books that the Big Dipper is also called the Seven Yuan Relief Star, which represents the prosperity of the harvest in a year and the rise and fall of the country's fortunes, but the Seven Yuan Relief Star in Denghai City is gone. ”

"Hmm." Zhengqing looked at the night sky with joy or sadness, and didn't reply.

I fell into a long silence with him.

No matter what kind of disaster Denghai City will face, and what kind of nightmare Denghai University will face, Zhengqing and I are just two ordinary people, and we can't do anything......

The snow in Denghai City lingered for more than half a month.

On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the thirtieth should have been jubilant.

However, the Hongxing construction site, which was recently halted in the southeast of Denghai City, suddenly collapsed. Immediately after the collapse, dozens of bodies were found under the wall tiles.

The corpses did not decompose, but they all stinked.

The collapse of the Hongxing construction site was blocked by the police more than an hour after it broke out, and they were fully involved in the investigation.

A New Year's because of the Hongxing construction site, everyone was in a panic.

I sat leisurely in front of the TV with an apple in my nibbling apple, and saw the apple in my hand fall to the ground with a clatter.

"Positive, positive...... Zhengqing, come and see! Hurry up, hurry up! Hurry up! "Staring at the TV screen and not shouting back at the people in the kitchen.

"It's coming, it's coming."

Zhengqing came with a smell of oil smoke, and he first bent down to pick up the apples on the ground and threw them into the trash.

Seeing that he was not in a hurry, I was so anxious that I was about to kneel, pulled him over, pulled his head and shouted: "Look at it!" TV! TV! On TV! Look at the corpse! Doesn't look familiar? ”

"Hmm." He waved my hand away and squinted at the TV, "Did these people come out of the wall or were they just found at the construction site?" ”

"......" this ...... I don't know! Ask me why?

I looked at him in bewilderment.

He glanced at it a few times and retracted his gaze, sat on the sofa and picked up an apple and slowly peeled it, a series of actions that were pleasing to the eye.

The skin of the apple was never broken.

He stared at the twisted knife without blinking, and said, "Don't you think the situation is familiar?" The corpse was full of decay, but the appearance was intact, exactly the same as in the previous hospital, only much more serious than the one in the hospital. As he spoke, his knife stopped, and then continued to twist along the apple, "Isn't it someone who wants to find the security center?" This is a great opportunity. ”

"Huh?" Hearing Zhengqing's words, I withdrew my gaze from the TV and looked at him, "How do you find it?" ”

"You'll know when the time comes." He smiled and staggered the topic as he shoved the peeled apple into my hand, "Remember to peel the apple when you eat it in the future, the current apple is coated with a layer of wax to prevent it from spoiling." Be careful next time you eat apples. ”

I scratched my head in embarrassment as I took the apple that looked like a work of art—in fact, I had known that there was a layer of wax on the outside of the apple, but I had eaten it before I knew it, and I didn't pay much attention to it.

Biting the apple he handed over, I sat beside him with a big grin and tilted my head to look at him: "Do you want to go to Hongxingjian Pig and Chicken to see (with apples in your mouth)?"

"Don't worry, it's rare to have a good year, let's talk about it in a few days."

He stared at me with a smirk.

I touched my face for some reason, and I felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so I raised a big smile at him.

I've been alone for eleven years since my grandfather left, and I'm looking forward to this year's New Year.

"Xiaobai, your birthday is the seventh day of the seventh month of July, right?"

"yes, what's wrong?" I swallowed the apple and looked at him in surprise, why did I suddenly ask for his birthday, but it seemed that I didn't know his birthday either, "Then you, when is your birthday?" ”

"December twelve."

"Hey! It's over, why didn't you tell me? ”

"I'm going to change both of our dates of birth in a while."

"Huh???" I don't understand, "Why?" ”

"You just need to remember that the year on your ID card in the future is your real birthday?"

"Huh?" Am I feeling even more lost? Biting the apple in his hand, he looked at him confusedly.
