Chapter 4: Midnight Multiplication
I unscrewed the mineral water bottle, took a few sips, and said, "No kidding, I had a similar experience to you a month ago, and I was tormented by the same nightmare, and it had something to do with that damn old lab building. β
"No, it's so wicked." She opened her mouth slightly, and asked again, "A month ago?" And now? β
"Later, I unintentionally got the guidance of a master to set up a feng shui yin and yang array with a charm in the dormitory, and I never had nightmares again."
Anyway, it's better not to say anything about the ghost old man, and it's worthy of him to call him a master.
She covered her mouth with her slender hand, slightly surprised.
Then, I told her about the strange noise last night and the spontaneous combustion of the pure yang talisman.
When I finished, she folded her arms in front of her chest, shrunk back to the back of the stool, and asked softly, "Then, do you know why Fu spontaneously combusted?" β
"Spontaneous combustion of the rune paper meansγIt meansγ" I leaned my face over, and suddenly raised my voice, "I'm going to die!" β
With an "ah", her face was pale, and she almost didn't fall off the stool.
I couldn't help but joke with her when I saw her nervous look, but I soon regretted it, and when she reacted, she picked up the book and started hitting me like crazy, saying "tell you to scare me, tell you to scare me." The people who were reading on this floor all raised their heads at this moment and cast strange glances.
"It's all your fault, we're kicked out." She punched me in the back with her pink fist.
I waved my hand, "It's okay, the book has been borrowed." β
"Well, I've thought about it, this book might be more useful in your hands, so I won't rob it with you." She whispered.
"You're self-aware." I laughed
She pounded me again.
We chatted for a long time on and off along the way, and when we came to a fork in the road, and beyond that was the girls' dormitory, we stopped.
"That's it, Mei Chaofeng." I quipped.
"You are Mei Chaofeng, people call Liu Yingxin, very clear Yingxin." She stood on her left foot, her chest straightened, her head slightly raised, and her left hand brushed back the hair next to her cheek, highlighting a perfect curve.
I'll admit that I was really captivated by her at this moment.
A little out of shape, I coughed awkwardly and said, "My name is Ban Xiaotong, fortunately." β
However, I am not a person who has "never seen the world", and soon, I returned to my true colors and said with a smile: "In return for borrowing books, I will give you my number, and if you encounter any strange things, you can come to me." β
She gave me a blank look, "How powerful", but she still wrote down my number.
Finally we waved goodbye.
Although it is only the first acquaintance, it is like a friend who has been reunited for a long time.
The sunset on the horizon was very red, illuminating the whole earth warmly, and occasionally a few wisps of light breeze blew, making the willow branches on the side also swing happily. I was immersed in it and hummed all the way back to my dorm.
In our school, there are four boys' dormitory buildings, and I live in Building No. 4, and to enter the boys' dormitory area, you have to pass through a flat-roofed hut, which is the warden's duty room, and there is a moving iron fence between the duty room and the dormitory building, which is the kind of mobile iron fence that merges in the middle on both sides, and this is the entrance to the boys' dormitory building.
When I approached the entrance bar, I saw a person in a white shirt standing downstairs from a distance, and I carefully identified that it was Xiaobai.
I beckoned to him, "Who are you waiting for here?" β
He didn't speak, his eyes followed me until I came to him, and he didn't speak: "Did you hear that strange sound last night?"
My heart trembled, finally here?
I still remember one day a month ago, he also said to me in this deep voice: "One is missing, one is missing." He didn't stutter at all, but when I pressed forward, he returned to his normal stammering voice, and he was sure that there was no such thing.
Later, I checked on the Internet, and all the information indicated that it was a split personality.
I wanted to persuade him to find a psychiatrist, but then I didn't see him sick again, so I never mentioned it to him.
Now that he was sick again, he had to follow his train of thought and replied, "Yes, what a hell." β
"It doesn't seem to be a delusion, so what could it be" He lowered his head, paced two steps, and then asked me, "By the way, what was yesterday?" β
"Eighteen."
"I'm asking about the lunar calendar."
How can anyone use the lunar calendar, I wondered, but I still checked my phone, and then replied: "July 14th".
"July 14?" He raised his head suddenly, his eyes wide, "Today is fifteen, it's over, something big is going to happen." β
I was frightened by his sudden reaction, but when I thought about it, other people's split personalities are either perverted murderers or radical sadists, and like him, it is relatively "normal".
I scratched my head helplessly, continued to echo him, and said, "What then." β
"I'm afraid it's too late, and whoever falls on it can only count his life hard." He shook his head a few times, then suddenly put his arm on my shoulder and said, "To find the root, you have to find the root, otherwise it won't stop." β
Being messed with by him like this, there is an indescribable awkwardness in my heart.
The burnt spell, the strange thing of last night, the nightmare of a month ago, all kinds of images come to mind.
I didn't know where I got my temper, so I pushed his hand away and yelled, "Damn, it's endless." β
He was a little overwhelmed by what I yelled at, and then muttered to himself, "To find the root, you have to find the root." "Turn and leave.
"What a freak." I cursed.
As soon as the words came out, even I was shocked, I am a very easy-going person, I rarely argue with others, and I will never say such hurtful words.
What's wrong with me today? Maybe I'm too tired.
Persuade Xiaobai tomorrow and accompany him to find a psychiatrist, which can be regarded as compensating him.
Our school is relatively rich, the girls' dormitories are all four-person rooms, with independent bathrooms, for boys, there are four-person rooms and six-person rooms, I was lucky, and I was assigned a six-person room.
I pushed open the door to the dormitory and saw that they were all in the dormitory, and glanced at it, only Xincheng was not there. I casually asked, "Where has the new city gone?" β
Mo Wei twisted half of his head, "Who knows, I guess I'm going to date which senior sister again," After speaking, he continued to tap on the keyboard, and the villain dribbled the ball on the screen, a three-pointer, and scored.
Xincheng is a native of Hebei, his family is a businessman, he is very rich, and he is handsome, and many schoolgirls are "ruined" in his hands. And Mo Wei, who plays games, is an otaku, seeing that the fat on his waist is getting thicker day by day, he still sits in the dormitory all day playing games.
While I was doing my own thing, I had a word of nonsense with them.
Soon it was time to turn off the lights. Xincheng still hasn't come back for a long time, and I'm a little worried, "Why hasn't Xincheng come back yet?" β
"Then you don't need to ask, the hotel is working." The eldest brother replied.
The eldest brother is the shortest in our dormitory, he is generous, he always rushes to pay for meals, he has the most ideas in trouble, and he is very assertive, we all call him the eldest brother.
If this matter had to be put on hold before, I would be like them, and I wouldn't think much about it, but this time, I always felt that something was going to happen.
Maybe it's because of Xiaobai in the afternoon, I always feel weird and uncomfortable.
After flipping through a few pages of "A Brief Talk about Superstitions in Ancient Times" on the bed, I still couldn't put my mind at ease, picked up my mobile phone, and called Xincheng.
"Beep ~ beep" just a few rings in the mobile phone, I heard the mobile phone ringtone from the cabinet in the new city "youth blooms, waving wings"
He didn't have a cell phone.
There's really nothing to do with him, forget it, nothing should happen.
After the lights went out, I was probably really tired, I almost fell asleep when I lay down, and I don't know whose watch was ticking all the time.
The sound of the clock's hands turning is accompanied by the dark night, and with a few cool winds and the screams of insects, it is a feast of horror.
I had a dream in which I accidentally fell into the river, but luckily I was good at the water and regained my balance after a few steps.
Suddenly, highly rotten hands stretched out on the surface of the lake, tore at my clothes, and dragged me down with all my might, and then I saw a man on the shore, and I was overjoyed, as if I had grasped a life-saving straw, and I shouted "Help, help." β
The man on the shore was indifferent, the picture zoomed in, and the man turned out to be Xiaobai, his face was expressionless, and he looked at me struggling in the water lightly, and I suddenly remembered what happened this afternoon.
I shouted loudly: "Xiaobai, it's me, hmm, I'm Ban Xiaotong, Xiaobai, hmm" grabbed my hands more and more, the more I struggled, the more I sank, the water level had reached my mouth, and when I shouted, a lot of river water was poured in, and it was extremely painful.
Xiaobai was still indifferent, and gradually, I was getting farther and farther away from the riverbank, and the water was already overflowing my head.
"Ahh
At half past twelve, the cold phone was displayed like this.
I wiped the sweat from my forehead and was about to lie down, when there was a sharp knock on the door, "Knock knock, knock knock"
"Who?"
"It's me, Xincheng." It came from outside the door.
In the middle of the night, I didn't want to pay attention to him, because I slept on the top bunk, and I was too lazy to come down, but I was a "living person", I didn't open the door, who would open it.
I cursed a few words and reluctantly climbed out of bed.
The two men slept like dead pigs in the lower bunk.
I opened the door to the dormitory and found that the hallway was unlit and the hallway was pitch black.
He didn't say much when he came in, and went into the bathroom to wash up, and I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't tell what was wrong.
When I got back to bed, I closed my eyes and a spark crossed my mind.
Du Xincheng will sleep on my lower bunk.
I listened to the sound of water in the bathroom, and my scalp began to tingle.
I wanted to wake up the big brother on the shop next door, but unexpectedly, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped at this time.
I didn't dare to come out, closed my eyes, lay quietly on the bed, and kept silently reciting in my heart, "Nan no Oh Ni Buddha, Nan no Oh Ni Buddha." β
In the middle of the night, there was no movement in the bathroom, and the dormitory was surprisingly quiet.
But the quieter it was, the more frightened I became.
I saw what had happened for so long, so I slowly opened my eyes.
Less than ten centimeters away from my nose, a bloody human head was facing me, a palm-sized face was full of scars, the mouth that was missing half of the lips was sewn up by a thick black thread, a few maggots wriggled between the scar and the mouth slit, and bloodshot eyes stared at me.
"Du, Du Xincheng?"
I opened my eyes suddenly, inhaling sharply, the sweat had already wet the pillow towel and the t-shirt, and I wiped the sweat from my forehead.
Scared to death, another nightmare.
Before I could shout about my luck, there was a quick and familiar knock on the door,
"Knock knock, knock knock"
