Chapter 41. Girls' bathhouse
I took his phone and looked at it, and in his partially enlarged area, I saw a woman in the treetops, mostly hiding her body behind the trunk, with half of her face poking out to look at us. The facial features are not very clear, a little translucent foggy, it is hidden by half of the face through the trunk of the tree, and the eyes are looking in the direction of the camera. And because I turned on the flash, I was even able to see the shadow behind the woman's face partially. But its eyes don't have the slightest reflection. I said yes the way it looked at the camera, I don't know if Lu Dao was scared or angry.
Mr. Huang was frightened by our previous movements, he leaned against the wall, his hands on the two rows of tables in front and back, and his eyes looked at us for a while, and then at the lights dangling on the ceiling. I said to Mr. Huang, don't be afraid, isn't this okay? turned his head and said to Hu Zongren, fortunately I let you take a picture, otherwise we don't know what this guy looks like. Hu Zongren asked me rhetorically, what can I do if I know the Tao, and I am not in a beauty pageant. I said you're stupid, can you take pictures like this on weekdays? It's fate to shoot it, do you know what I'm going to ask you to turn on the flash photo? One is because it's a big night, you can't shoot anything without the flash, and the other is because I suddenly thought that this guy is going to be seen when the lightning is on, although the camera flash is not as bright as the lightning, I also tried, I didn't expect to be able to really shoot it.
Hu Zongren's posture changed from sitting to squatting, and he touched the incense ash on the ground with his hand, which he had just sprinkled on the female ghost. I said to Hu Zongren, do you remember that in the afternoon, I smoked with you at the door of the toilet, and I told you that I felt that something was wrong, and I felt that someone was blowing at me behind my back? He said he remembered, and I said okay, after you sprinkled the incense ash just now, that feeling came again, exactly the same feeling, so I don't think this matter is related. Hu Zongren asked me why I felt this way, and I said that I didn't know the way, I just intuitively thought it was like this. Because the odds are so small, ghosts are very rare, and if there are several ghosts in different places in a school, it's too rare, although it's not impossible, but at least I've never encountered it. Even if there are several ghosts at the same time, if they appear at the same time, they will be eighty percent related to each other.
Hu Zongren stood up and said to Teacher Huang, then let's get out of here first and go to the toilet again. Teacher Huang probably didn't want to stay here for a long time, and when he heard Hu Zongren say this, he hurriedly nodded his head in agreement, which looked like a chicken pecking rice. Before I left the classroom, I did some necessary measures, I drove a nail in the gap between the wooden square and the brick outside the window, and tied a small piece of red rope, and at the other end of the red rope, a copper coin was dropped. This is telling the ghosts passing by that if you take my money, don't enter my house, which means that's similar to a bribe. And the place where the nail was driven was not far from the place where the incense ash was pressed to the hand print. Because Hu Zongren and I decided that this female ghost came in from the window, and I bet that if Hu Zongren and I went to the wasteland under the window at this moment, we would definitely find something about this female ghost in some places. Because this was an inevitable consequence, we decided to go to that toilet first.
When I got to the toilet door, almost all the students had already returned to the dormitory because it was past the school's curfew time. As we stood downstairs, we could occasionally hear the sound of hip-hop and slapstick coming from the girls' dormitory upstairs. The faculty and staff in the boiler room of the bathhouse also went back to their staff dormitories to rest. Hu Zong and I were at the door of the toilet, and Mr. Huang was standing under the street lamp from a distance, probably thinking that would make him feel a little more at ease. I asked Hu Zongren, are you coming or am I coming? He said it's better for you to come, your compass is faster, I'll follow you, if there's anything wrong, call me immediately, I'll keep an eye on you.
Even with Hu Zongren on the side, I was still a little scared, and every step I took was terrified. I checked it again in the toilet, but found nothing. Hu Zongren suggested that we try to look around this small building, because no one has a rule that ghosts can only appear in one place. So Hu Zongren and I walked around the building counterclockwise, looking at it as we walked, and finally found a faint trace at the entrance of the bathhouse, that is, on the edge of the boiling water tank.
I said to Hu Zongren, now there is, there is really something here. Hu Zongren said, then let's go in and find out. There is a street lamp at the entrance of the bathhouse, which is white light, and this is the only place in this low building where there is light. Since the big iron door at the entrance of the bathhouse had been locked, Hu Zongren and I had to climb through the door to enter. Hu Zongren went in first, and when he began to flip, I pinched the chains and big locks hanging on the door with my hands, so as not to make a noise and be discovered, and Hu Zongren did the same when it was my turn to turn in. After entering, there was a men's bathhouse on the left and a women's bathhouse on the right, so we decided to go to the women's bathhouse first because of the relationship between the ghost itself and the female ghost.
Although it seems to be a very perverted thing to sneak into the girls' bathhouse in the middle of the night, there is really no way, this is my job with Hu Zongren. The ground was wet, and it should have been earlier, and quite a few students had just taken a shower. Because we haven't been able to find the light switch, Hu Zongren and I can only use the mobile phone in our hands as lighting. With a compass in one hand, I searched as smoothly as I could through the bathhouse, which was square in size, with a wall of water showers all but the entrance, and a bench and basin in the middle. In the quiet environment, Hu Zongren and I didn't dare to take a breath, and we only heard the sound of our feet stepping on water stains, and some aging nozzles, and the slow ticking sound of water.
After walking around the bathhouse for most of the time, the hands on the compass suddenly rotated very quickly. As I have said before, although the principle of the compass is the same as that of the compass, because its function is mainly in the heavenly and terrestrial branches and feng shui survey, the compass is many times more sensitive than the compass, and a slight disturbance can cause it to rotate. And judging from the speed of the compass in my hand, there is a ghost in the place where we are standing right now, and it doesn't seem to be angry, but because it is already spinning so violently before it is angry, it makes my heart suddenly start to hairy.
I took two steps back, waiting until the compass hand was a little flattened, which meant that I was a little farther away from the ghost, and I whispered to Hu Zongren, right here... It's that corner of the place...
The position where we were standing at the moment was in the corner of the diagonal of the entrance on the girls' side. My eyes were fixed on the compass, scanning my surroundings with my peripheral vision. This ghost was not intended for Hu Zongren and me to be easily seen from the beginning, but even so, I asked Hu Zongren to get ready, and then turned on the flash of my phone all the way to that corner. Hu Zongren held the mobile phone in one hand, and with the other hand, he quickly took out a talisman from his bag that he had prepared for a long time, first held it with his mouth, and then handed me the mobile phone, and asked me to follow the direction of the corner, and he himself took out a handful of incense from the sack on his waist, about twenty or thirty sticks, and then pinched it to one, and then opened the talisman on his mouth, stuffed the talisman into the middle of the handle of the incense, and then pinched it tightly, and then leaned sideways, like a thief, step by step towards the corner slowly.
Hu Zongren's move told me a long time ago that he was "asking the incense god to fight ghosts", which was already going to be rude. The talisman is the talisman of his master's sect, which means that he has an identity in the Taoist lineage, and he will not let the ancestor not know him. A stick of incense is very crispy, but when a handful of incense is put together, it is stronger. Lighting incense also has the meaning of conjuring spirits, and usually ghosts who smell incense will be more awake and excited than when they don't. So I have to say that Hu Zongren used this trick at the beginning, and I was still secretly a little worried. Because according to the current situation, we haven't angered this ghost yet, but it's hard to say if Hu Zongren does this.
I didn't stop him, because I really couldn't think of a better way to do it at the moment. If we had followed the previous steps, this ghost had escaped once before, and might not have been willing to follow us at this moment. Hu Zongren stood behind me from the moment he entered the bathhouse, and did not come to my side until he lit incense. As he approached, he pointed to my compass, meaning to tell me to keep an eye on it, and say that if something was wrong, immediately. I followed behind me, and as we got closer and closer to that corner, I became more and more nervous. I had Hu Zongren's mobile phone in my hand, so I couldn't touch the grave or pinch it to prevent it. Just when Hu Zongren and I were only about a meter away from that corner, the compass suddenly turned like crazy.
I've been taught this kind of transformation before, and it's the kind that suddenly erupts without warning. There are only two possibilities, one is that we are close to it, and the other is that it has begun to perceive our hostility. So I couldn't help shouting, Hu Zongren! Kombat !
Hu Zongren had already been ready, he chopped down the incense, I bit his phone with my teeth, and at the same time quickly reached into the bag and grabbed a handful of grave soil and threw it over. In the dark bathhouse, Hu Zongren's handful of incense fell quickly, drawing a bright shadow in the darkness, Hu Zongren slashed several times in a row, he turned his head and asked me loudly, take a look, are you hitting? I hurried to look at the compass, and the hands were quiet, and the slight trembling was all because my hands were shaking. I said to Hu Zongren, I don't know the way, the pointer is not moving! And less than 5 seconds after I finished saying this, the pointer suddenly began to move one by one, and this way of turning is a bit like when driving, the neutral gear is booming, and the tachometer feels. I didn't understand what that meant, but I thought to myself that it was not a good thing.
At this moment, there was a very harsh sound of "boom-boom-" in front of us.
