Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Spirit Realm Beyond the Cat's Eye
Yuan Xi looked around the bedroom, everything sank into a mostly blurred darkness, and he couldn't see anything clearly, but the sound of the fine water in his head was getting faster and faster, as if there was a rainstorm in his brain, and there was a cold pain in Yuan Xi's temples, as if there was an invisible person sitting beside him, taking a small needle and piercing it into her temple, pulling it out and piercing it again, and so on.
"Boom!" Yuan Xi heard the sound of heavy footsteps, she followed the footsteps and saw that it was somewhere outside the bedroom door, as if there was a very strong and tall person walking unhurriedly, and every step was as heavy as a mountain.
"Zizi Zizi ......" accompanied by the sound of footsteps, there was also the sound of sharp weapons dragging on the ground, Yuan Xi could already imagine the scene of a big man dragging a murderous blade outside the door on foot.
The sound was so clear, but the other two girls in the dormitory were still sleeping unconsciously, and there was no dormitory manager to check the huge strange sound, there were more than a dozen bedrooms on the whole floor, hundreds of people lived, could it be that only Yuan Xi could hear this sound?
Yuan Xi raised his right hand, and as expected, he saw that the blood moon mark from Tianyi was flashing with a faint red glow.
The sound of footsteps and dragging knives was getting closer and closer, Yuan Xi climbed out of bed, first lowered his voice and shouted Ran Xiao, who was holding her novel in his arms, sleeping soundly, and still drooling at the corner of his mouth, but Ran Xiao did not react, no matter whether Yuan Xi pushed her and shook her or even slapped her, she continued to sleep like no one, Yuan Xi wondered if she would not notice if she found a small knife and a white knife in and out of the red knife now......
Suppressing this terrible thought, Yuan Xi couldn't find a knife in the bedroom now, she just symbolically slapped He Nian'an, convinced that the other two roommates were in a state of "can't wake up", and the strange man outside the door was about to walk to the door.
Not surprisingly, Yuan Xi thought of the masked boy he had encountered in the spirit world, should he hide in advance now?
Yuan Xi didn't hear the door open before, indicating that he was just passing by outside the door to go somewhere, probably not breaking in, and the bedroom is so big, the wardrobe is full, the combination bed is too high and there is no way to hide people, Yuan Xi has no place to hide if he wants to hide, if the dragger outside is coming to find her, she simply has to be a ghost.
Yuan Xi stood on tiptoe in her new slippers, her eyes came to the cat's eye on the door, and when she looked out of the door, she saw a scene she didn't know at all......
Is that still the hallway of the school dormitory? Outside, it's more like some abandoned factory, the walls are all rusty black iron casting, and there are countless black and red gears spinning on the ceiling, and the dark red light shines through the gears on the ground to create a shadow of the wheels spinning, illuminating the blurred plastic English signs on the walls:
"entry|prohibited" Yuan Xi University English has also passed level 4, she can clearly recognize that this is "forbidden to enter" in English, what the hell is this place outside? Why is there such an English signage?
At the bottom of this sign, there is also a row of small letters that are not clear:
"#402矿区".
Why Mining? Yuan Xi is obviously still in the bedroom, why did the door suddenly become a mining area?
Yuan Xi thought of what he had encountered in the spirit world last time, could it be that this time there was another spirit world outside the door?
When Yuan Xi was thinking, it was dark outside the cat's eye, and there was a strong back like a mountain walking through the door, Yuan Xi saw the pale upper body of the man outside the door, full of muscles with bruised blood vessels, and the upper body was wrapped with chains full of black rust, the back flashed, and Yuan Xi could only see a huge metal reverse cross on his back, which shone with a cold cold glow.
The figure of the giant man gradually disappeared into the darkness in the distance, and at the same time, the heavy footsteps and the sound of dragging knives gradually faded away.
The people walking outside the door are definitely not humans! Yuan Xi could be sure of this, and then panicked in his heart.
It's only been two days of peaceful life, why are the monsters in the spirit world coming to the door again? Is she so unlucky? Can you bump into wacky things wherever you go?
If she opened the door and walked out now, she would probably go straight to the spirit world, right? Yuan Xi thought so, she would never die! So she pretended to be calm and climbed back into her bed, pretending not to know anything, if she stayed up until daytime, would it become normal outside again? She was looking forward to it.
So she just lay on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, the sound of water in her ears never stopped, the noise made her impetuous, and all kinds of strange thoughts in her mind continued, until finally she simply closed her eyes and recited the "Heart Sutra" of Buddhism:
......When she was still Yuan Xi, in the face of frustration and all kinds of embarrassment, he also tried to contact Buddhism, and when he was depressed, he often turned out this short and concise "Heart Sutra" to recite to calm the mind, the Heart Sutra is not long, just recite it ten times can be memorized. Yuan Xi didn't believe that Buddhism could relieve suffering or anything like that, but she felt that she could at least temporarily paralyze her body and mind, so that her soul could temporarily stay away from the joys, sorrows, sorrows, and fears of the world, and that those trivial and meaningless thoughts would not continue to emerge.
After reciting the Heart Sutra five times, her heart was a little calmer, but the moment she opened her eyes, Yuan Xi's frightened head went blank again......
On the ceiling facing her bed, there was a pale human face!
It seems that there is a light that I don't know where to find a huge and small light spot on the wall, and then the light spot gradually clears, and it converges into a miserable white woman's face, and then look closely, that face seems to be very young, it should not be much older than himself, it looks very ordinary and thin, and it looks quite energetic short hair, if it is not so abruptly flashed on the ceiling, but appears in the crowd, Yuan Xi will not leave the slightest impression on this face.
"Help......" The face made a faint sound like a mosquito chirping at Yuan Xi, and she also let out a low wheezing sound as she spoke, as if every word she said would bring her deep pain.
"Who are you? Why is it here? Yuan Xi tried to communicate with this face, although it looked infiltrating, but this woman's face should have no malicious intent.
"I'm ...... Anya, you ...... Only...... Lying on ...... ...... my bed," the girl's face said intermittently, a glimmer of wisdom shining in her godless eyes.
Yuan Xi instantly called up the relationship between the three girls in the spirit world in his mind, the face on the ceiling and the "Anya" he saw in the spirit hospital before were indeed a person, but at that time, Yuan Xi saw a young girl who was still full of vitality with a flashlight, why is there only one head left now?
"What happened to you? How did it become like this? If you want me to save you, how can you save it? "Yuan Xi just wants to stay away from everything related to the spirit world now, she and Anya are not related to the three missing girls, if she wants to go to the spirit world to rescue them by herself, Yuan Xi will definitely refuse, if she just wants Yuan Xi to do something to do with her hands, Yuan Xi may also consider agreeing.
"Reverse Cross...... It's him...... He killed...... Qiao Nan ...... "Anya almost collapsed and said, just this sentence made Yuan Xi numb, reverse cross?" Is that the guy who just passed by the doorway?
"Officer...... Saved us...... They also ...... Injured...... "Yuan Xi didn't understand the next words, officer? Yuan Xi remembered that Dai Zhongxuan said that there were two policemen who went to investigate who also disappeared, could it be that the remaining two girls met the two police officers who also disappeared in the old school building?
"In school...... Someone...... In the manufacturing ...... Spiritual ...... Find him...... Stop him...... ...... as soon as possible" Anya said to Yuan Xi almost screaming, but the voice she made with all her strength was still extremely faint in Yuan Xi's ears, far away like a girl shouting to her from a few hundred meters away.
"Who is that person? Any clues? Yuan Xi eagerly asked, can the spirit world still be created? For the first time, Yuan Xi heard that this kind of strange world that looked like another dimensional space was created?
"White Fox Sect." Anya only had time to say these last three words, and then her face completely dimmed, just now it was a girl's face, and now time passed quickly, her face withered into a skeleton, and then sank into the ceiling with her mouth open like a drowning person, looking at Yuan Xi with empty dark eyes, and then disappearing without a trace......
At this time, the radio in the dormitory suddenly sounded the solemn national anthem, the school leaders of Linyang No. 1 Middle School seem to have a bit of a bad taste, and play the national anthem every morning as the wake-up bell for the whole school broadcast, if the national anthem sounds, it proves that the time has reached half past six in the morning:
"Get up, people who don't want to be slaves......" Yuan Xi got up suddenly, waking up like a dream, only to find that she had been dreaming just now, she seemed to have never been lying in bed, and had never gotten out of bed at all.
In the sound of the national anthem, Ran Xiao and He Nian'an both began to get up with difficulty, pulled out the quilt, and Ran Xiao, who looked sleepy, just got up, and fell on the bed weakly, rubbing her slightly red and swollen face, and she muttered ignorantly:
"Strange, why does my face hurt a little? Who hit me? ”
Yuan Xi looked out of the window of the balcony, the sun was already rising, and there was no haze that she had seen before, she had left the spirit world so simply?
Yuan Xi got out of bed and looked out the window through the cat's eye of the door again, which was already a normal bedroom scene, proving that the gap between the spiritual world and reality had really disappeared.
Yuan Xi is becoming more and more unable to distinguish between reality and dreams, if everything just now is a dream, then who slapped Ran Xiao? If it wasn't a dream, then did the man with the reverse cross really walk by the door last night?
She felt that this was not a good sign, and the spiritual world and reality seemed to be gradually merging in front of her, and the boundaries between the two were becoming more and more blurred......
