The drizzle continued to fall from the sky. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The strange and ethereal singing voice last night, I don't know when it will stop in a trance,
Many people were not only disturbed by the song, but also the tragic incident of two suicides by jumping off the building in the nearby community, which also made people feel sad, why does this song have the same magical power, which can make people suddenly pessimistic and misanthropic and choose to commit suicide?
The rain is still falling, will there be that gut-wrenching song tonight?
I don't know how to stay up until dawn, since I heard the singing, the two tragedies of jumping off the building to commit suicide made Guo Mingyang always feel chaotic in his mind, there was a lingering depression and dullness, he couldn't help but want to go to the old school to see, to see where the singing was played in the middle of the night, what was going on?
I was eating at the breakfast shop down the street when someone was talking about the strange things that happened last night.
At the table next to them, an old lady was saying to the owner of the breakfast shop in her forties: You don't know, since this song sounded on a rainy night, the entire community near the old school where the sound can be heard, people have been committing suicide in the past two years, and the suicide people are fine during the day, but after hearing the strange song at night, they suddenly jumped down from the window, and even their families felt very surprised.
After hearing this, the breakfast shop owner was also very surprised, and couldn't help asking: Then no one goes to the place where the song is played to see, who is pretending to be a ghost?
The old lady stirred the steaming porridge in the bowl, and continued: How many times have you called the police, at first the police found that the sound came from the campus of the old school, everyone knew that the school had moved away for several years, and there was no one in it except the old man who watched the gate.
When the police arrived at the school, the old man who was watching the gate was about to fall asleep in the guard's room, and the police asked him if he had heard anything, who knew that the old man's ears had long been recited, and he didn't hear anything.
At this time, the police could still hear the song coming from somewhere in the school, so the police followed the sound and found the highest house in the school.
There was an old broadcast studio on the roof, and the sound seemed to come from there, but when the police approached there, the singing was as if someone had suddenly turned it off, and there was no sound at all.
The breakfast shop owner was so fascinated that he almost forgot to do business, and he couldn't help but ask: Did you find anything?
At this time, not only Guo Mingyang and Du Lixuan were listening attentively, but several people eating next to them also pricked up their ears and listened to the old lady's story very attentively.
The old lady didn't care about drinking the porridge in the bowl at this time, and continued: Several policemen still climbed to the top of the building, turned on the flashlight, and slammed open the door of the broadcasting room.
Except for a few dusty broken tables, chairs and benches, there is no playback equipment at all, do you say strange?
Even more frightening was in the back, and several policemen turned around and retreated when they saw that there was nothing inside, but at this time, one of them suddenly saw a figure in white standing in the drizzle on the rooftop outside the door.
When he hurriedly shone the flashlight over, but there was nothing at all, at first he thought it was his own dazzle, he turned off the flashlight in his hand again, and this time several people saw that in the dark night, a shadow dressed in white was standing on the edge of the rooftop.
Speaking of this, the old lady also swallowed and spat at the mouth as if she was a little scared, and her expression changed slightly.
This can make the person next to you who is listening attentively feel anxious.
The owner of the breakfast shop didn't do business, and asked anxiously: What did they see?
The old lady paused and continued: A few people were bold, and without turning on the flashlight, they slowly approached the white-clothed shadow, and when they were about to get closer, the white-clothed shadow suddenly jumped off the rooftop.
At this moment, the people who were listening next to him couldn't help but feel nervous
The old lady continued: "They did not hear the sound of anyone falling to the ground, only a terrible woman's cry. This can make a few policemen frightened, a few people hurriedly rushed to the edge of the rooftop, with a flashlight to shine down, the building is only four stories high, the strange thing is that the flashlight shines down, and you can't see the woman in white who jumped just now.
This scared a few policemen a lot, and I saw a white figure jumping down, but there was nothing below?
I don't know who trembled and said, it can't be a ghost, right? Several people rushed out of that strange place with weak legs.
Since then, even if someone calls the police to complain, the police will not come back because they have no solution to this matter!
How do you know so clearly? It's like seeing it with your own eyes. The breakfast shop owner couldn't help but ask the old lady.
Because there was one of my nephews in the police that night, and later my nephew said that the singing must have been caused by something unclean, and persuaded me to move out of this neighborhood quickly, but I am an old woman, who has lived here for most of my life, and even if I die, I will stay here. The old lady said very carelessly.
According to you, that voice is evil! Luckily I live far from here, otherwise I'd have heard that voice too, what do you think it's all about? A good big living person said no, it's gone! The owner of the breakfast shop thought of those who committed suicide and said with great pity.
At this time, the old lady began to put the cold porridge in the bowl into her mouth and ate it slowly.
Walking out of the breakfast shop, the drizzle was falling.
Guo Mingyang's face was calm and he was holding an open umbrella in one hand, and the other hand was holding Du Lixuan's Qianqianyu hand who was following him, and the two of them walked on their backs in the wind and rain, looking so happy and sweet!
Soon walked to the gate of the old school, which was not wide and very old, and there were a few incomplete red letters written on the gate: Tianyang Vocational and Technical College.
The small door on the side of the gate was open, and there was an old man dozing off in the guard's room, Guo Mingyang wanted to ask him about something, but looking at his current state, he was not embarrassed to disturb.
The two of them stepped through the small door and walked into the old school, which was caught in the wind and rain.
There was a sense of desolation everywhere in the empty school, and the road was lined with tall plane trees, and yellow leaves were constantly falling from the trees, and the ground under his feet was already covered with yellow fallen leaves.
Guo Mingyang also held Du Lixuan's hand, and the umbrella above his head shielded them from the falling rain.
Most of the classrooms on campus are old gray houses with two-story brick and concrete structures with eaves, and the green weeds around the houses are growing luxuriantly, and many raindrops are knocking down on the blades of grass like beads from the eaves.
Through the broken glass of the classroom, you can see the dusty old desks and chairs inside, as if you can imagine how many young faces once sat in the classroom, listening carefully to the teacher's teachings on the podium.
Guo Mingyang has never gone to college, although he used to be very eager to enter the university, at this time, looking at the empty and desolate campus in front of him, there is an indescribable sadness and regret in his heart!
Du Lixuan, who was beside her, seemed to feel his loneliness, and said with a smile on the side: Do you regret not going to college?
Guo Mingyang shook his head and said with a wry smile: There are some things that are destined for a long time, and there is no way at all!
The four-story building not far ahead was very conspicuous, and from a distance you could see a mottled house on the roof, and a rusty and broken horn hung on it, the bracket should have been broken, and only a wire pulling the crumbling horn shook in the wind and rain.
Guo Mingyang took Du Lixuan's hand and walked towards the house.
At this time, there are many peach trees and pear trees planted on both sides of the road, which seems to imply the appearance of peach and plum all over the world, but at this time, there are only some leaves left on the trees.
After a short time, he came to the front of the building, Guo Mingyang took Du Lixuan to raise his feet and walked into the staircase leading to the top of the building, the wall was covered with mottled and peeling wall skin, and the soft footsteps of the two sounded in the staircase, except for the sound of raindrops falling, there was a suffocating quiet.
The stairs passed through the corridor on each floor, and Guo Mingyang sometimes couldn't help but turn his head to look at the silent corridor, which was empty and empty, and he clenched the palm of Du Lixuan, who was a little scared behind him.
Standing on the roof of the building, looking around, there was no figure in the Xiaosuo campus that was caught in the wind and rain at this time.
Under the breeze, the door of the old broadcast studio on one side creaked, and the door did not close, but opened a gap, constantly shaking and making some noise, as if someone was playing a prank in the back, but the gap made you unable to see the dim scene inside.
Guo Mingyang casually pushed open the door, a damp and rotten breath came to his face, Du Lixuan stood not far behind him, her eyes wide open, imagining what would suddenly appear inside.
This house is about a dozen square meters, because of the weather, it is very dark inside, the rain leaking from many places on the roof, ticking and knocking on the ground, in some dusty places on the ground, there are also some messy footprints can be faintly seen, which also shows that few people will come to this place.
The strange thing is that this house has no windows, and there are some broken tables and chairs in the corner, when Guo Mingyang walked to the table in the corner, he suddenly stepped on something? almost made him fall, and also startled Du Lixuan, who was standing outside.
If you look closely, it turns out to be an old-fashioned worn-out microphone covered with cloth, which has fallen into the dust, and it is really difficult to see.
Coming to the table, Guo Mingyang gently brushed off some of the dust on the table that was lying steadily, and there was a yellowed photo below.
On the blurry photo, it looks like a young girl smiling as brightly as the sun, in the dark environment, Guo Mingyang's eyes are full of flowers, and the girl in the photo just now suddenly seems to be alive, casting a strange look at him.
Guo Mingyang put the old photo into the pocket of his jacket as if he hadn't seen anything, then turned around and walked out to look at Du Lixuan, who was worried about him, and showed a beautiful smile.
Du Lixuan suddenly screamed, took two steps back, and pointed to his shoulder, with a look of fear on her face.
It turned out that at some point, a huge black and white spider climbed on Guo Mingyang's shoulder, which made Du Lixuan, who had been afraid of spiders since childhood, scared half to death.
The two happily held hands and walked in the direction of going home, in the wind and rain on the road, Guo Mingyang thought to himself that if the song continued to sound at night, he planned to come here to see, what kind of force was playing the mournful and obsessive song?
