Chapter Twenty-Four: A Boring Ghost Story
The dome seemed to be the size of a football field, and in the depths of the darkness, you could faintly hear the sound of a stream flowing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info above the dome, there are dense bats hanging upside down, covering their heads with black meat wings, and they are falling into a coma. Bats are usually diurnal creatures and tend to go out in the evening to feed, but fortunately, the bats here are normal and not very large, but there are many of them. I breathed a sigh of relief, so I told Lao Yang and the two of them if they wanted to go around first and take a look at the surrounding environment. Lao Yang immediately objected to me and said that now that time is pressing, it is better to go directly into the depths of the cave, and I am afraid that it will be too late.
Although I was very curious about this place where Lao Yang and my grandfather had lived for many years, there were priorities, so I followed Lao Yang's advice and followed him to the depths of the cave.
We put the prepared hard hats on our heads and turned on the miner's lamp overhead. It is well known that this headlamp is more practical than a flashlight when going caving, and can be used to free your hands for activities such as climbing. But a flashlight is also a must-have, hanging around your waist as a backup light. The three of us walked along the gravel stream, and Yang said that it would be best to follow the direction of the underground river, and if nothing else, we would soon be able to find my grandfather's traces. I nodded in agreement, and in my experience with caving, this is the safest way forward.
However, Yang Xue has not come out of the shadow of being possessed by evil ghosts last night, and she discussed with us as she walked forward, saying that there are really ghosts in this world?
I told her that when I was in college, I once skipped class with my classmates to play a game of werewolf killing in the cafeteria, and there were three boys and three girls at that time, and there was a punishment in place, saying that if anyone lost, they would go to the "haunted house" alone and come back. The so-called "haunted house" in our school is actually a remote utility room that is used to stack easels and the like. Legend has it that there was once a female student in the oil painting department, because her life was unsatisfactory, or for some other reason, she hanged herself there, and when she died, she was naked, but she wore a pair of red high heels on her feet, which was very weird. At first, alumni speculated that this woman couldn't think about it because she was played with her body and feelings by her boyfriend, and later, some people speculated that this senior sister was possessed by evil spirits and didn't know what she did. In the end, the police gave the statement that it was suicide, but about the haunting of the utility room, it was left at the school. Although the door of the utility room is locked, there are still brave people who break the glass of the window, and secretly climb in at midnight to play the game of Saucer Fairy, it is said that something happened later, but the school seems to have blocked the news, so to our session, there is no transmission of what happened, however, those seniors will always remind the freshmen, saying that do not enter the "haunted house" in the middle of the night in order to seek excitement, otherwise it will be too late to regret it. We were very interested in this "haunted house" at that time, so we wanted to find something exciting, we played a round of games, and one of the male classmates lost, so we coaxed him to go to the haunted house and come back, because there were girls present, so the male classmate was scared, but he still raised the courage to go.
Speaking of which, I found that Lao Yang and Yang Xue both stopped, looking a little frightened and weird, I patted my head and said that in this kind of place, I really shouldn't tell such a scary story, but the curiosity of the two of them was hung up by me, and they rushed to ask me what happened to me, did the male classmate who entered the "haunted house" see a ghost?
As I urged them to leave, I continued to say to them:
"At that time, after the male classmate climbed in through the window, he never came out, and a group of us stared at him near the utility room, and after an hour, there was no movement, and several people panicked, thinking that nothing would happen, right? Later, we went in and found the male classmate, and saw him sitting on a stool with his body stripped naked, posing as a thinker, and across from him, there was an easel set up, and I don't know who was drawing a sketch of the human body, and he was already halfway there......"
Yang Xue said in surprise: "Is that male classmate working as a mannequin for ghosts?" ”
I shook my head and said, "According to the male classmate himself, after he went in, he had a very strong desire to paint, which was incredibly strong, like a drug addiction, and he could not stop until he was satisfied." So, almost subconsciously, he found an easel or something like that in the utility room, and used himself as a mannequin and painted it. Moreover, this male classmate strongly stated that he was not possessed by a ghost, but was just engaging in a kind of performance art. But we didn't believe it, and thought his behavior was really weird. ”
After listening to this, Yang Xue pursed her lips and said, "This is really a boring ghost story. ”
I said, "This is the first time I've encountered a paranormal event in my age, and although it sounds a little weird, it's a real thing that happened to me." However, after what happened last night, I'm convinced that there are ghosts in the world. ”
Then, Yang Xue told me a ghost story she heard when she was in college, saying that in the girls' toilet of their school, she often heard weird laughter in the middle of the night. At that time, the girl was scared enough, she lifted her pants and ran out, she ran in the corridor for a long time, and finally somehow ran to the top floor, and almost fell. If it hadn't been for a couple who saw her and stopped her in time, I'm afraid she would have fallen to her death. Later, the girl inquired with the senior sister and asked what was going on in the toilet, and the senior sister told her that a body had been found in the toilet before, and the deceased was stabbed to death with a knife and thrown in the toilet because she was going to break up with her boyfriend......
After listening to Yang Xue's ghost story, I pursed my lips and said, "Your ghost story is also very common, like the scenes in many shoddy horror movies!" ”
Yang Xue glared at me: "This is not a ghost story, it is a real story, I still know the person concerned, and I live in the bedroom next door to us!" ”
Lao Yang had been silent and walked beside him, but I knew that he must have been listening very carefully to the conversation between me and Yang Xue, until we were both quiet, he suddenly let out a long sigh and said to himself:
"Alas, I really envy you, you can be like a normal person, go to junior high school, go to college, meet many people, make all kinds of friends, and have a rich and colorful life experience. As for me, I have been trapped in this ghost place for more than ten years, as if my life has been stolen for more than ten years, and after I get out, I can't adapt to life outside. It would be nice if I could find the bandits' treasure this time, and I must enjoy my life......"
Yang Xue and I listened to Lao Yang's words, and couldn't help but look at each other, feeling that the atmosphere suddenly became very heavy. I didn't know how to comfort him, but Yang Xue said:
"There's nothing to regret, your experience is predestined, have you ever heard a story about Seon's lost horse?"
So, Yang Xue told his brother this allusion bitterly, and comforted him and said that such a thing cannot be said to be a bad thing, no matter how it is, it is also a part of your life, and it is still a unique part.
Lao Yang didn't say anything, probably this kind of comfort didn't have any substantive effect on him. He walked in front, as if trying to avoid us, and soon pulled away from me and Yang Xue, and we were worried that he would not be able to think of it, so we hurriedly chased after him, only to find him stopped in front of a stone wall, and was observing something with his headlamp. (To be continued.) )
