Chapter Twenty-Three: Strange Incidents on Campus (Part II)

The girl's name was Xiaoling, and her death occurred two weeks later.

At that time, she was psychologically shocked because she witnessed the body floating from the middle of the lake, coupled with the fact that the police investigated the situation with her, and some good classmates kept asking her for details, which made her almost have a nervous breakdown.

Xiaoling used to have the problem of occasionally talking in her sleep, and the classmates who lived in the same dormitory with her were very uncomfortable at first, and some classmates often proposed not to share the same dormitory with her. You must know that when you talk in a dream, it is different from normal speech, and the voice and words are more ambiguous, unlike what we see in movies and television, which can be heard clearly at will.

After all, talking in a dream is also a reaction to a real dream, so although the words spoken are vague, the tone is emotional. In this case, imagine that someone who doesn't know the inside story wakes up in the middle of the night and hears someone in a dark room making strange syllables in various tones, and everyone feels terrible, and thinks that something dirty has come in the bedroom.

When this floating corpse incident occurred, Xiaoling was already a senior in college, and it stands to reason that the people in the same dormitory with her have been tempered into steel, and they should no longer make a fuss about her little problems, but a week later, the other seven classmates finally couldn't stand her behavior in their sleep anymore, and no one dared to sleep in the same room with her, but squeezed into the other girls' dormitories en masse.

But on the other hand, they all think that this is caused by Xiaoling's fright, and it is just a temporary mental illness, and it will slowly get better after a long time. And everyone has lived together for four years, and the relationship between them is very good, they are afraid that the spread of the matter will be unfavorable to Xiaoling, and they can't bear to stimulate her anymore, so they always leave quietly after Xiaoling falls asleep, and they don't report to the teacher. Because two girls crowded into Nana's bedroom, I learned about her.

What frightened the seven girls was that Xiaoling's way of talking in her dreams had completely changed!

That night, probably due to tiredness and fright, Xiaoling went to bed early, while the other girls in the same dormitory couldn't sleep at all, but everyone didn't speak, except for the occasional sound of turning over, the whole room was silent.

At about one or two o'clock in the morning, everyone finally fell asleep in a daze, but at this moment, a chuckle suddenly came from the dormitory. This laughter, very quiet, woke everyone up, and everyone felt like it was coming from their ears!

The feeling is indescribable, as if when you are sleeping deeply, you are suddenly awakened by something terrible, and a string in your head is broken, which makes people instinctively feel dangerous, and suddenly wake up at the same time all the hairs stand up!

Then, the classmates on the bed opposite Xiaoling saw her sit up straight and slowly. She didn't sit up quickly, but slowly, like a mobile bed in a hospital that rocks up the front end, and slowly lifted her upper body until she sat up completely upright. The sheets on my body also slowly fell, and it felt like a snake molting!

Then, she began to talk in her sleep.

Normally she just lies on the bed and mutters a few words when she talks in her sleep, but this time, she not only sat up, but also spoke for about five minutes. The most terrifying thing is that the tone and voice of her speech show two states, although she still can't hear what she says, but it feels like a man and a woman are talking!

"Don't pull me!" It was the only one that could be heard.

The girl who slept opposite Xiaoling was usually more naughty, once when Xiaoling was talking in her sleep, several girls played a prank, once squatted beside her to carefully discern what she said, when she understood that she was confessing to her sweetheart in a dream, this naughty girl also asked, "Who do you like?" Xiao Ling replied that it was Wanli, and several girls covered their mouths and snickered on the spot, not only knowing the person Xiao Ling had a crush on, but also understanding that some people would react to external verbal stimuli when they were talking in their dreams.

I don't know what drove me, when this girl saw Xiaoling's strange appearance, she couldn't help but ask again, "Who are you talking to?" ”

"Be nosy!" This time, Xiao Ling screamed, her voice low and thick, although it was her voice, it seemed to imitate a man.

And she screamed so loudly that all the girls were scared. The girl who was close to the light switch immediately turned on the light, and when the dazzling light came on, Xiaoling suddenly fell soft and continued to sleep.

The girls looked at each other, no one spoke, but the uneasiness spread through the dormitory, and finally it was the naughty girl who said, "She was probably too frightened and had nightmares!" ”

The others nodded yes when they heard this, not knowing whether they really thought so, or if they were reluctant to grasp a reasonable explanation and find a reason for the vague fear in their hearts. Fortunately, in the second half of the night, Xiaoling stopped talking in her dreams, and the seven girls in the same dormitory gradually accepted the speculation about the nightmare.

However, the next night, this situation continued, and on the third day, it continued for a week. Sleep that used to occur only occasionally is now repeated every day and is getting worse.

At first, she just sat up, but then she began to sleepwalk, walking around the room, saying inaudible words all the time. What makes people break out in a cold sweat is that although she still doesn't understand what she said, she can tell that it is not just one person who is talking in her dreams, but increasing day by day, and the time of the dream conversation is also increasing, and by the seventh day, it has made the people in the same bedroom feel that it is a room full of people talking lively!

What a terrible sight it was, in the dark of the bedroom, when everyone was asleep, and a girl walked around the room with a dull expression, sometimes stopping for a moment in front of someone's bed, and the corners were speaking in various tones!

There is also a girl who even found that as long as anyone makes even a little noise at this time, Xiao Ling will immediately turn her head, and her godless eyes will stare at the person who makes the sound viciously, which makes people shudder!

And after dawn, when everyone asked about Xiaoling, she didn't know anything about what happened at night! And during the day, she is very normal, still so docile and cute, that everyone can't bear to tell her about her terrible sleepwalking, for fear that she will be stimulated again.

Is it possessed by evil spirits or harassed by geists in the middle of the night? Everyone had this question in their hearts, but no one dared to say it, so they had to hide.

In this way, a week passed, and they slipped away collectively as soon as Xiaoling fell asleep, and slipped back in the morning. Xiaoling has always been in bed, and it may be more physically demanding to sleepwalk, so she didn't notice it. But the other girls noticed that Xiaoling's sleepwalking had become more severe, and they would hear all kinds of strange noises coming from their own dorm room in the adjacent dormitory, as if there were many people partying there.

On the last day, someone heard the door of the dormitory open, and there was a very regular sound of footsteps from the dormitory to the top of the staircase, and then vanished. A day later, she was found floating on the lake, and after being fished up, because the police had not yet arrived, she had to park her body by the lake, and the body was covered with a narrow canvas, and her classmates could only see her pale feet exposed at this time!

Two accidents in a row led the school to decide to add a guardrail to the edge of the lake, but the third person who drowned happened to be a migrant worker who came to repair the guardrail.

On the way from several of the school's main buildings to the cafeteria, the nearest is through the grove and the lake. So even though only two people were drowned, there were still a lot of people walking this way. First, it was broad daylight, second, many classmates walked together, and third, most of the students thought that the two deaths were really just accidents, not supernatural events.

I thought the same thing at the time, so I still went to the cafeteria with Nana via this road. Although Nana was actually a little scared because of Xiaoling's matter, she was relieved to have me by her side.

That day, just as we turned the corner of the grove and walked to the path by the lake, we heard an exclamation ahead. I hurriedly ran over to look, and saw the migrant workers on the shore shouting at the lake, and there was a splash in the lake, and I couldn't count how many people were in the water for a while. Later, I learned that several migrant workers were working at that time, and suddenly found a few hundred-yuan bills floating on the water, and I don't know who dropped them. So they sent two companions who were better at the water to go down to fish, but when they reached the center of the lake, they had cramps in their hands and feet, and they shouted twice at their companions on the shore and drowned at the same time.

When the companions on the shore saw this, they hurriedly called someone to fish, and the strange thing was that five or six people went down, and they were about to catch the drowning man, but they couldn't reach it. This suddenly reminded me of what happened when I was traveling in the mountains and forests, so I jumped into the lake to save people, regardless of the danger.

I knew that to save the drowning people, I had to go around behind them, otherwise I would be dragged to death by the drowning people who lost their minds and fought hard to survive, so I desperately swam behind them, and finally swam to them, and I caught the drowning people at once, and I touched one of them all at once.

I dragged him back, but I felt that his body was very heavy, and I was forced to swim. I've always loved sports, and I used to be a good swimmer, but now I feel stiff and stiff, and even paddling is extremely difficult. Halfway through the swim, my arm suddenly sank, and the drowning man who had been caught slipped out of my hand again.

I was so anxious to dive into the water, but I didn't expect the drowning man to dangle in the water like a loach, and I couldn't catch it, and when I surfaced and changed my breath, I suddenly found that he had turned around at some point, staring at me with wide eyes full of hatred. I didn't expect that someone who had been closing his eyes would suddenly open his eyes and almost choke on me, but the person reached out and grabbed me and dragged me deeper into the water.

I don't know why he hates me, or if he shows a survival instinct, but at the moment he is as heavy as a big rock, and no matter how much I struggle, I can't get rid of him, I can only slowly sink with him.

I thought I might die here, but at that moment I heard Nana's cry on the shore. Is this the case with others? I still can't figure out if it's a hallucination or a real thing, I can hear Nana's voice underwater, in the cacophony of the shore, so clear that it seems like she's calling in my ear.

It gave me an endless sense of courage and strength to struggle at the very moment before I was about to give up. Somehow, this struggle made me feel hot, and after a few strokes, I broke free and desperately floated to the surface. In an instant, I saw his face, so unwilling and hateful, it simply baffled me!

Did I know him before? He looked as if I had killed his father and taken his wife and children, but I swear I would have met this migrant worker for the first time.

But anyway, I lived, he died. And when I tried to save the worker, the others rescued another drowning man who had never been able to catch him, so the lake did not swallow a fourth life.

I had seen supernatural events, so I felt that there was some secret in the lake that I didn't know, so I asked Ah Zhan to take a look, but his skills were still sealed back then, and I didn't see anything. So even if there were no accidents after the fence was built, I would never let Nana go to the small hall alone through the lakeside woods, and insisted on picking up and dropping off every day.

And at this time, an uninvited guest came, that is, Bao Datong.

He had been staying with his father and had never gone to college, so he felt very fresh about all this, and wanted to 'experience' college life on a whim, so he came to our school without even saying hello. Because their father and son had saved us not long ago, Ah Zhan and I couldn't drive him away even though we didn't want to. It just so happened that one of my roommates was on leave of absence due to illness in those days, so he swaggered in.

He's thick-skinned, self-familiar, and has a natural affinity, so he quickly mingles with the surroundings, whether it's the dormitory administrator, classmates, teachers, no one doesn't like him, especially the girls, they all think he's funny and cute, as long as he wanders around the school, there will always be many girls around him. He and Nana are also old acquaintances, and of course they are more familiar, so there are more people watching rehearsals in the small hall every night.

He had to go to the Great Hall, and of course he had to pass by the grove and the lake, and every time he walked there, he wandered around for a long time. I asked him what he was going to do, and he said that the feng shui of the forest was not good, blocking the entry of yang energy from the entrance of the school, and blocking the leakage of yin energy that had been gathering here for many years.

I told him that there had been a few accidents here, and that there was no way the school would listen to the idealistic fallacy of his little god, and that it would certainly not destroy the green belt. As soon as he heard this, he suggested that we simply burn the woods in the middle of the night.

At that time, his skills were not deep, and I was already skeptical of him, how could I agree with his suggestion. But he said that there was a grudge in the lake, and that he would not leave the place until he unravel the mystery. And he found out that Nana and I both have black qi hidden in our hearts, and there will definitely be trouble!

Big trouble!
