Chapter 50: The supernatural campus female detective debuts
I was forcibly pulled over to be an audience, and I looked out the window in the rehearsal room of the university drama club.
Although it was early summer, a storm was followed by a dry heat and sandstorm. Leaving only the warm sunshine, it is refreshing. The side effect of the fresh air in the morning was that it was very cold, and I originally regretted going out wearing only a light coat and hat, but fortunately it has since warmed up.
The cherry blossom trees near the annex building have experienced the rain and wind, and have grown new green leaves. In just one week, the solid buds will surely bloom with full bloom.
It's the freshman adaptation period of the university, and today is the last practice day of the quarter for one of my good friends, Xia Xu, to belong to the 'Red Cloud' Drama Club. Because most of the members of the drama club are juniors like me, this is also the last stage for their youth to play light and heat.
It's not time to perform, and the people in the troupe are busy rehearsing. My eyes swept over the stage to the next person, and in the light of the lights were the young men, all about twenty years old, each one full of youthful energy.
A man in a hat, holding a high-powered horn in his hand, sat in the first row of the audience, watching intently as the people on the stage rehearsed, occasionally making loud comments. That's when the tutor is summarizing the achievements and shortcomings of the year; Maybe I'm too sensitive, and I hear some nostalgia and reluctance in his words, and by next year, these children will leave the drama club or even the ivory tower of the university and enter the fiercely competitive society.
I didn't see Xia Xu, it's weird, this guy should be my senior sister according to the official title, but because he has a big grin side that goes off the line everywhere, it's hard to be respected as a senior. That being said, I was embarrassed to turn down her request.
After all, I'm about to graduate, and I don't have much time to spend together.
Of course, she is also good at school, and her interests are wide-ranging, such as theater, guitar, percussion, and appreciation. To people who are not familiar with it, it seems that she is the kind of rational and handsome cool girl, Jiang Xueqin was pulled on the thief ship by her in this way, but she took leave today, after all, she is also a junior.
But she really loves it, so when I was in the women's lounge after the performance, it was strange to find Xia Xu sorting things in her bag. She is not a newcomer in the drama club, and the freshman can only play some insignificant small roles in the play, and she also needs to fulfill some responsibilities as a new employee, such as the senior sister who has to stay and clean up after removing her makeup......
But at this moment, Xia Xu didn't see any impatience, so he packed up all the bottles of cream and large boxes of foundation, and then wiped the makeup mirror and table with a rag. It's just that during this time, I can feel that she is not in a good mood.
"Excluded?" When they sat in the audience together, Xia Xu laughed, "Where is it!" From Xia Xu's tone, it can be heard that she is not reckless or deliberately telling cold jokes. She just said lightly what she thought was "taken for granted", and I accepted it calmly, so I had to answer vaguely: "Ah, yes." Then he sat side by side with her on the bench in the audience under the stage.
"It's just a little depressing! She said with a big grin, "It's not been a good time these two days!" β
"Is it graduation season?" I'm a little sad. The countdown to leaving the ivory tower began, and we, the carefree sons of the sky, saw the ordinary troubles of falling in love and finding a way out after graduation.
"That's it!" Xia Xu let out a rare sigh, "It's -- I've been a little lazy lately, so I've been sleeping most of the day, and I'm lucky to have me awake." I felt like I had taken sleeping pills, and my whole head was groggy...... I often fall asleep unconsciously, and of course, I am completely unaware that I am asleep, but I am still faintly telling myself that I must open my eyes.
I don't know if it was because of the effect of self-motivation to wake up soon, or simply because of the chaotic brain suddenly waking up, I managed to open my eyes once. But then the deep sleepiness struck again, as painful as pushing a stone mortar with a ring finger, and the heart seemed to be tightly wrapped in ropes. After that," she sighed.
"I'm obsessed with cold beer and the hustle and bustle of the environment. The former wakes me awake and, in addition, causes a pleasant hazy sleep. The latter made me even more confused. Even when I practiced, I couldn't concentrate and made mistakes. Eventually, I succumbed to the pain and fell back into sleep, being stopped several times by my teacher and having to do some backstage work. β
Listening attentively to what Senior Sister Xia Xu said, I found that her eyes were sloppy, revealing that her ankles outside the chiffon dress were as thin as skin, and I was a little hesitant in my heart. This shouldn't be, although Xia Xu is often careless and has very bad luck in small things, but his brain spins very fast and can adapt to different situations.
I vaguely saw the figure of myself who I once was. It's just that I've had insomnia for a long time, and I'm so excited that I can't sleep soundly even with other drugs, and the reason I know very well is that the dream about my sister that I have dreamed about for a long time. And Xia Xu is drowsiness, unlike the lazy cat of Shiling people, this kind of drowsiness is a little abnormal, more like a side effect of eating those psychotropic drugs.
Those psychotropic drugs are usually prescribed to patients with terminal cancer as placebos, and once the medicine is taken, the pain is not too painful. The disadvantage is that it can be drowsy, from severe drowsiness, to persistent mental confusion, and even unconscious. Also, iodine can sometimes cause drowsiness poisoning. If chloral is hydrated, it can make people fall asleep in an instant.
It's just that this isn't a ghostly night, and it's not a tube building that no one can approach, so I must have thought too much. As we approach late March, the weather is getting much warmer. In addition, it is normal to be drowsy even if you know that it is not good!
Then I remembered that I had dreamed of my sister in the middle of the night for a long time without heart palpitations.
When was the last time I dreamed of her?
If I'm not mistaken, since I first met that guy from Shiling during the Tube Tower incident, I don't dream about my sister anymore.
On the contrary, because of this, I occasionally dream of the guy who always has a decadent face, is both cold and not gentle at all.
Then, it was the movement of a pair of hands that I couldn't help but let out a series of calls in my dreams. The air in the dream is filled with a warm rippling scent, and the gentle movements of a man can make a woman's sensitive touch grow slowly but endlessly like some kind of vine plant.
Every time I wake up from a dream, everything in the dream is still in my body. The depression that was as heavy as a lead block when I got up suddenly swept away, and the steps of going to school suddenly became much lighter.
But how could that be - we'd only met a few times, and we weren't really familiar enough to talk, and I didn't know that much about the Shiling people. Although it has almost lived and died together.
I seem to sense the signs of danger. Probably since ancient times, no one has been able to explain how men and women began to fall in love, maybe an eye, maybe a sentence, maybe just a hand, a foot.
Oh! By the way, that guy is still a big liar! A big liar who calls himself Mr. Yin and Yang, but can only do magic!
I really thought I had the potential to become a new generation of superpowers!
After Bedullan was subdued, I asked You Yimo, who was busy collecting evidence, to help, and my righteous sister rushed to my small dilapidated house inside and out, and found no trace of any artificial pretenses. For example, I have a ghost video, I think there is someone in the room, and I have even heard my missing close friend Mu Tongtong say to me: "I curse you-"
In the end, I concluded that all of the above was due to my hallucinations. You Yimo also said to me earnestly, although academic studies are important, you should also pay attention to your body, and proper interpersonal communication is also necessary, of course, stealing the forbidden fruit is forbidden!
But this only made Shi Lingren's assertion of the female ghost's life resurfaced in my heart. But every time I call him, I look very busy, and I seem to avoid talking about it.
What is he doing now? I guess it's still the same! I really want to see him, so maybe I'll be in a better mood.
By the way, when the practice is over, I'll go see Shi Lingren! I suddenly remembered that I had made an appointment with Shi Ling a while ago to go to him next time when I didn't get into trouble, and it seems that this agreement is about to come true today.
He must have a decadent face, yawned with his mouth wide open, and said: "The matter is settled, the rest is the work of the police, why are you coming to me?" "Then make me coffee in a beaker and sit down to help me analyze it.
After all, I'm still in the counseling room!
I imagined it for a moment and laughed out loud.
"What are you giggling at?"
The instructor who was talking about the play pointed to me who was laughing too loudly, and I was so frightened that I quickly stopped laughing.
The whole drama club burst into laughter. The rehearsal ended without a hitch.
After the disbandment was announced, I hurriedly packed my bags and left the rehearsal room.
"Wait a minute!"
As I was about to walk out of the rehearsal room, Xia Xu called me.
"What's wrong, senior sister?"
"Is it convenient to take up some of your time?"
"What's the matter?" It's rare to see her look so weak.
"I'll tell you the truth, I want to discuss this matter with you...... I suspect my lethargy isn't easy! "
"Could it be that someone drugged you?" I was startled, my eyes were weird, and many lace news I had heard and witnessed passed through my mind, each of which was enough to be a headline on the news headlines, such as "campus, girls, beasts, group ......" and the like.
Senior Sister Xia Xu shook her head, blushing and said, "No, it's just that my symptoms occurred after going to a speakeasy with someone to listen to a farewell performance of an orchestra, and the level is like that." The capital is a place where three religions and nine streams converge, and there are many such little-known orchestras, which originate and disappear. I didn't pay attention at the time. β
But from that day on, narcolepsy has been a frequent occurrence for her.
"Later, I inquired about the people who listened to music, both old and young, but no one knew where the orchestra came from or what it was playing, so they just said that it was very strange and very strange, very strange, a bit like a soul ......."
After many examinations in the school hospital could not find the cause, Senior Sister Xia Xu suspected that she had encountered a terrifying supernatural experience.
"Suiyue, please help me!"
After finishing speaking, Senior Sister Xia Xu's eyes were full of tears, and her lips trembled and she sobbed.
Performance Skills MAX!
"Why did you find me?" I couldn't figure it out.
"I went to Jiang Xueqin to discuss, you know that she often has whimsical ideas and likes to read miscellaneous books on folklore, such as voodoo in Thailand, yoga in India, and mermaids in sewers in Japan...... As a result, she said that as long as it is related to the supernatural experience, you can solve it. "
Something strange seems to have come in.
In fact, I vaguely felt that something was wrong on the way, and it was really Jiang Xueqin's ghost - she was excluded from the final battle last time, and she really wrote it down?
"No, she tried very hard to make a confession for you, saying that Shen Shuiyue was a kind witch, and she worked with the police to catch a serial killer!"
It must have been seen when You Yimo and the others came, the three of them became tigers, the news is really getting more and more outrageous, when did I become the good witch of the Wizard of Oz? I can't help but pray that I don't let the rumors continue to spread to my family, who hate weird things the most.
"But I can't help you with anything."
"Don't say that, didn't you solve the problem of the tube building at that time? Jiang Xueqin also said that you can dementor souls! "
What nonsense.
At that time, the person who solved the problem of the tube building for the school was not me, but Shiling.
Ahhhh Then he immediately began to reflect on his own rashness.
Becoming Mr. Yin and Yang, this kind of dream should not be a wish that a poor female college student like me who wears a whole set of old gray sportswear can make. If you want to make a wish, you can only wish that the elastic band marks on your stomach that have appeared from wearing clothes from a street stall for 24 hours will disappear, or that you will immediately untie the dead knot rope on your pants and go to the toilet. I should have made this wish in line with my identity. Probably.
But--Xia Xu is still praising me.
"There's no need for you to hide it, because everyone knows that you are a female detective on the supernatural campus!"
"And Shuiyue, you are now famous, and even that old witch doesn't dare to find your fault openly!"
"Old witch?"
"Your homeroom teacher Wu Wanzi!"
"Shh......h Hush! β
Wu Wanzi is our homeroom teacher, and he is not confused when he is young, and he is inseparable. It is not highly rated among students, especially girls. Probably because of the rejection of the same sex. Or rather, it was because she seemed to see teachers simply as a job and hated contact with students outside of school hours.
Although she probably didn't want to please the students, she just pointed fingers at every turn, from her hair to her skirt to the night home to the impure heterosexual interactions, as if we were still living in the Middle Ages.
I don't actually hate her, in my opinion, she's just a pretending to be rational, but in fact she is very fragile in spirit.
"No, Shuiyue, you are too self-conscious. Even if the average female teacher is old-fashioned, she will try to build a good relationship with the students to the extent that it does not hinder the work, but that guy, because of his personality and always likes to do some small calculations, there are very few students who really get along, and he just cultivates some lackeys and informers. Moreover, whenever she encounters an unexpected situation, she suddenly becomes hysterical. It seems that the time when I heard that the students used nicknames to mock her single life, it was really a big trouble. β
It's like this time.
"The police's action in the cherry blossom forest is very fanfare, and you can't hide the matter of you and the female police officer handling the case together, Mr. Shen. However, it was probably the pressure exerted by the school, and since then, people who belong to the teacher's faction have begun to attack Shen with rumors. Say that there are no superpowers, escapism, blindfolding, etc., but I don't know how to cover up! β
"Well, the so-called superpowers are divided into two categories: ESP and PK. ESPβ¦β¦ It should be called extrasensory, and it can know some things that ordinary people don't know through special abilities. You know perspective and telepathy. "I tried to change the subject awkwardly.
"Really? Doesn't matter. Xia Xu said categorically. Since he blindly accuses that he has no superpowers. But he didn't dare to publicly criticize Shen in class, but he just blamed you several times through the lackeys according to seniority. What you can't lie about, do you want to be noticed like that....... Saying that the teacher blames himself for not teaching you well, etc...... It shows their weak nature, and in turn it proves that it is true! β
Sister Xiao Mo, Shi Lingren, I'm no longer a man!
βββββββββ now you can earn points by sharing "Pretending to Be a Ghost" to the circle of friendsβββββββββ
βββββββββββ new books are on the shelves, ask for collections, tickets, and rewards. ββββββββββ
However, when I called You Yimo to complain, I was made fun of.
"Hahahaha. I'm having the same problem here! She sent a video chat request.
What?
Before, we were here in Leng Yamen, but now when we walk in the bureau, we are always asked by newcomers from various departments, "Deputy Captain You Yimo, you have solved a lot of supernatural cases so far, right?" "
"What?"
"I know you're using extraordinary means to solve those cases. But what exactly are the capabilities you have? "
"What the hell are you talking about?"
You Yimo reproduced the expression of resignation on his face, and shook the ash of the lady's cigarette into the ashtray with his eyebrows drooping.
The other party always has to say, "It's useless for you to hide it." "
"Mother, I'm hiding a fart!"
"Is it a Taoist star shift? Or is it a Buddhist dragon elephant to subjugate demons? Was it acquired by the women's SWAT team, or was it born with this ability? "
What's worse is that when I slapped the table and asked, "Boy, are you kidding your aunt and grandma?" The other party will answer.
"No, I'm serious. Because this time your serious crime detachment has a big reputation, although the reputation is mixed, but everyone in the bureau knows that you are hard bones and the conscience of our police community! We can't say that we will have to cooperate more in the future. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is a hundred battles.
Since you want to handle the case with Vice Captain You in the future, you must first understand your special abilities.
So, You Yimo sighed, even if I dropped a sentence, "Listen up, rookie." I don't know what the hell you're misunderstanding me, but I don't have any hellish tricks at all! "
The other party will also think, will the criminal police want to hide their special abilities? He has solved a lot of cases, how can he hide it from everyone's eyes?
For a time, both of us girls had a feeling of sympathy.
At this time, I heard my name being shouted at the door of the rehearsal room.
That's an unexpected person.
