Chapter Ninety-Five: A Sad Past
In the dark old warehouse, the smell of dust gradually became less pungent. On the screen of the mobile phone held by Liu Lingmei, the place that should show the strength of the signal has been converted to a state of no service.
The sound of painful gasps mingled with the sound of banging on the door, and appeared at her and Xia Qiu's feet.
"Xiaoqiu!" Liu Lingmei said with her hand that had become cold from fear and tightly grasped Xia Qiu's arm.
By the light of her mobile phone, Xia Qiu saw a figure curled up at their feet, a girl of the same age as her and Liu Lingmei. Her eyeballs bulged outward, and her face and body were already distorted from suffocation, making her look like she was having an asthma attack.
Xia Qiu and Liu Lingmei both wanted to help her, they tried to shout for help outside the door, but they didn't get any response, and tried to check on the girl's condition, but they couldn't touch her at all.
At this moment, they were somewhat like entering a state of detachment, to be more precise, they were just bystanders of what was happening in this plane, only to watch the girl's body gradually twist together in pain, and finally die. Liu Lingmei was lying in Xia Qiu's arms, crying hoarsely. Xia Qiu also felt a heavy sadness in her chest, making her breathing heavier and heavier.
The door of the old warehouse was opened at this time, and they were accustomed to the pain of their dark eyes pierced by the sudden light. What they didn't imagine was that outside the gate was not a power distribution room, but a narrow corridor.
The hallway looks like an old-fashioned dormitory building from the seventies and eighties, with narrow corridors stacked with old things, vegetables, and even bicycles, and homes not too far apart on both sides. The hallway was faintly smelling of moisture and vegetables, and it was the girl who had been in the old warehouse just now who pushed open the door in front of them and walked out.
The girl was wearing a fat thick tweed coat, which should have been worn by an adult, and it was loose on her. She was about to walk down the stairs when a door in front of her was suddenly pushed open, and the figure of a girl peeking out of the door, saw her, she hurriedly closed the door, and then walked forward quickly.
Xia Qiu and Liu Lingmei followed the previous girl to the outside of the building, and looked up to find that they were in the back of Yongchuan Hospital, which was supposed to be the old family dormitory of the hospital.
The two girls followed one after the other, leading Xia Qiu and Liu Lingmei all the way to the gate of Yongchuan High School. At the school gate, the girl who walked behind greeted a few classmates, and from their mouths, Xia Qiu and Liu Lingmei heard her name, probably called Liu Xin.
The girl next to her pointed at the back of the girl walking alone in front of her.
"Why is that Zhao Wen embarrassed to come to school?"
"Yes, murderer's daughter! I don't want to go to class with her! ”
"She's not going to be like her dad, she's scary!"
……
Only Liu Xin remained silent and did not participate in them, she looked at Zhao Wen's back, and a trace of sympathy flashed in her eyes. She and Zhao Wen have been neighbors for a long time, and although they are not friends, they will look at each other and smile every time they meet in the past.
Between classes, Zhao Wen was surrounded by several people in the class in the corner outside the teaching building, including the two girls who were talking about her behind her back in the morning. They said they were afraid of her, but they still didn't give up bullying her in order to get her out of school.
There were filthy words from the mouths of men and women.
"The child of the mouse can make holes, and the murderer's daughter can definitely kill!"
"Get out of this school! With you in our class, we won't be able to raise our heads! ”
"If you dare to come to school again, we will be rude to you!"
Zhao Wen stood expressionlessly against the corner, letting their cursing drown her out, but she didn't resist, because she was used to it. No one would sympathize with her plight, and his father was sentenced to death because he suspected that her mother, Hongxing, was out of the wall and impulsively killed her.
For a while, her family was ruined, relatives and friends stayed away from her, and no one was willing to take her in, only willing to give her some living expenses every month. Fortunately, the director of the hospital where her parents worked took pity on her and still agreed to let her live in the old dormitory, otherwise she would have to live on the streets.
The friendly classmates at school suddenly changed their faces, and they vented their fears about her in extreme ways, trampling on her, hurting her, and torturing her...... In the eyes of them and the rest of the world, she became a cancer that should not exist in this world.
It was another recess, and the boy put a few small snakes in her stationery box while he was not in his seat. What kind of fear it must be for a weak girl to suddenly open a stationery box full of snakes during class.
Classes were about to start, Liu Xin hesitated whether to remind Zhao Wen that if she chose to help Zhao Wen, then she would probably be regarded as her companion and rejected by everyone, but if she didn't help her, she would be condemned by her conscience.
While still struggling, the class bell had already rang and the teacher had walked in. After class, Liu Xin watched Zhao Wen stretch out her hand to open the stationery box, she could no longer stand idly by, but rushed to her side at once, and snatched the stationery box from her hand in the surprised eyes of everyone.
She ran to the window, mustered up the courage to open the stationery box out of the window, and poured the snake out. In the eyes of everyone as if they were looking at a different person, he returned the stationery box to Zhao Wen and walked back to his seat.
A relieved smile appeared on her face, and she finally didn't have to go against her will in order to cater to other classmates. And from that day on, she was equated with Zhao Wen, she was isolated with her, and even became the object of ostracism and bullying.
In the school, only they were the only ones who were friendly to each other, Zhao Wen's gratitude to Liu Xin was overflowing, and as they interacted, they found that the two had a lot in common, and they began to live in their own world, no matter how others abused and hurt, as long as they looked at each other, a sunny smile would appear on their faces.
Looking at the two of them, Xia Qiu and Liu Lingmei thought of the friendship between the two of them, although there were no ups and downs in Zhao Wen and Liu Xinlai, but the sincerity and purity were the same.
Until that afternoon, the wild current of fate completely pushed them into the abyss of tragedy. A girl deliberately found fault and framed Zhao Wen for stealing her things, Zhao Wen knew in his heart that he would inevitably be beaten, but what did it matter, anyway, she was used to it, and the teacher would only turn a blind eye.
But what made her unbearable was that the male classmates who took the opportunity to tear her clothes shouted "body search" and deliberately groped her with their hands. She has a beautiful face, and she used to be very popular in the eyes of the boys in the class, which may be the reason why those female classmates now resent her even more.
Liu Xin was absent at the beginning because she was participating in calligraphy training. By the time she arrived, Zhao Wen in the corner of the campus had been beaten and bruised all over her body, and her clothes were disheveled, while the boys who surrounded her were still unrelenting.
She rushed forward, pulled away the people who were tearing Zhao Wen's hair and clothes, and then shouted at Zhao Wen: "Hurry up!" Go back to the classroom! ”
Zhao Wen was frightened by the boy's actions, his brain went blank, and he ran away after hearing Liu Xin's words, leaving Zhao Wen surrounded there. The boys, apparently angry at her behavior and that she had ruined their good deeds, winked at each other and decided to teach her a lesson, almost by dragging her to the innermost warehouse in the power distribution room, and locking her inside.
The equipment in the distribution room is very noisy, so the walls and doors here are specially treated, so it is very soundproof, so even if Liu Xin shouts loudly inside, it can't be transmitted to the outside at all.
She thought that Zhao Wen would definitely come to her, but after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement outside. Disturbed by the darkness of the space, she fumbled for a long time to find the light switch, only to find that the lights in the warehouse were also broken, the air here was not good, and her asthma attack was about to occur. She banged the door of the warehouse, but got no response, anxiety and fear mingled, and finally asthma came in, and asthma medicine fell into the classroom.
In a state of suffocation, a resentful voice sounded in her head: Why didn't Zhao Wen come? I was locked up here to save her. Why? I was isolated by everyone for Zhao Wen, and she betrayed me in the end.
She died in extreme resentment, and her soul left her body. Looking at himself on the ground, his face was blue, his lips were purple, and he was twisted into a ball, and there was a strange smile on his face. For those who killed her, especially Zhao Wen, who betrayed her, she wants revenge.
Transformed into a ghost, she can't leave the school, so her revenge plan can only be carried out inside the school. Perhaps because of her deep resentment, she is so powerful that she can move objects at will or drag the souls of living people into her world, and she has many opportunities to kill those who killed her, including the girl who started the trouble first, but she always wavered at the last moment.
She always wanted to hear Zhao Wen's explanation, maybe it was not too late to take revenge after confronting her, but Zhao Wen never appeared in school again. Liu Xin stubbornly believes that she chose to run away because she feels guilty, and she becomes even more angry and powerful in the endless wait. If she could see Zhao Wen, she wouldn't even want to give her a chance to explain, she would directly kill her, or slowly torture her to let her taste the pain she had tasted.
The picture in front of Xia Qiu and Liu Lingmei changed to another perspective, and what appeared in front of them was Zhao Wen after escaping that day. With her eyes empty, she instinctively ran to the classroom, but the voices echoing in the classroom seemed to be endless cursing, so she didn't want to stay for a moment, so she ran towards the rooftop again.
She stood on the rooftop and saw the boys pulling Liu Xin towards the power distribution room, she knew that the power distribution room was an old warehouse, so she guessed that the boys must be going to lock her up there. She thought that Liu Xin was afraid of the dark, in addition to claustrophobia, she also had a very serious asthma, and if she was locked in the old warehouse, she would probably get sick, so she stumbled out of the rooftop. The door to the rooftop was locked from the outside, and no matter how she slapped and screamed, no one responded to her.
By the time she was finally released from the rooftop, Liu Xin had already died of an asthma attack in the old warehouse, and her whole body had completely collapsed.
In fact, she had thought more than once in the past about going with her parents, and it was already desolate to stay alone in this world, not to mention having to face so much pain and hurt. But Liu Xin's appearance gave her the courage to live again, and now that courage has turned into a deeper heartache with her death.
She felt that if it weren't for her, Liu Xin wouldn't have died, so how could she run away alone without looking back at that time? Her dislike for herself had reached an unattainable level. She will definitely kill more people in the world, but it is better to end it at once.
She remembered that because her mother had a nervous breakdown before her death, she had a lot of sleeping pills at home, so she turned them all out. The sleeping pill was poured into her hand, and then put it into her mouth and swallowed it in a big gulp, thinking that she could finally be reunited with Liu Xin and her parents, she fell asleep with a smile and never woke up again.
