Chapter 60: The Eve
University of Phoenix, Du Ling Hall.
This three-story building in the southern grove of the University of Phoenix, with some of its dilapidated walls crawling with creepers, is an old building that does not fit in with the University of Phoenix.
This is the darkest place in the university, and every time the evil spirits brought back by the students will be transformed here, completely wiped out, and their souls will be scattered.
"Principal Long, Mo Ran, please come here. Fu Jiansheng led them into this building, this small building that was very dilapidated even on the inside, but had a large basement, completely different from the buildings above ground, it was full of modern atmosphere, new walls and facilities, as if the basement was part of the University of Phoenix.
The three of them came to a room with one-way glass walls, so that they could see everything inside.
It was a simple room, with only a simple square table, four simple chairs, and the unkempt man in a shabby leather jacket sitting at the table.
"We met this man when we were on a mission at the Hemao Hotel in Wuxi, he looked abnormal, and I think he might have something to do with Xiaoling Mountain Underground Palace. Fu Jiansheng reported to Principal Long and Mo Ran, "But it's been a long time, and he doesn't say a word, and he doesn't pay attention to what we do." Except for a notebook in his arms, he resolutely refused to let us touch it. ”
Mo Ran looked at the man, clueless, and said to Fu Jiansheng, "Have you ever tried to take that notebook in a special way?"
Fu Jiansheng knew what she meant, nodded and said, "Tried." We put him into a coma and took his notebook. But when he woke up like crazy, I was afraid that he would make a suicidal move, so I gave it back to him. But we've made a backup of that notebook. ”
As he spoke, he took out two copies of his notebook and handed them to Principal Long and Mo Ran.
Principal Long looked through it, but Mo Ran didn't mean to look at it at all, as if he was waiting for their final conclusion.
"The things written in his notebook are very miscellaneous, most of them are the directions of some ancient tombs, mechanisms, sketches of the tombs and other things, and there are also records of some strange events and supernatural creatures that happened in various parts of the country. Most of these events and creatures are related to the spirit world, and it seems that this person is either a supernatural investigator or engaged in tomb robbing. Fu Jiansheng summarized the contents of the notebook he saw, which was the same as what Principal Long saw.
When Principal Long turned to the last page, he found several place names written crookedly, "Lisbon, Tunis, Cairo, Mohen...... Principal Luo Long read out these place names in confusion, and cast an inquiring glance at Mo Ran.
When Mo Ran heard these place names, a flash of brilliance flashed in his eyes, but he still said, "I don't know either." Perhaps the Fez White Tiger Banner could start investigating these places. ”
Principal Long put down the backup and asked, "Have you checked this person's background?"
Fu Jiansheng said, "I asked the people near Lingshan, and I didn't have any impression of this person, I just remember that one day he suddenly came out of Lingshan, and then he has been crazy like this. He didn't have any papers on him, and no one knew his name. ”
Mo Ran took out his mobile phone and pointed it horizontally at the man, in a standard photo pose. Before pressing the shutter, she symbolically asked Principal Long, "Is that okay?"
Principal Long nodded, and a few seconds later she passed the photo to someone, and after a while, the other person sent back a message.
"This person's name is Liu Yi, nicknamed Ergouzi, from Henan. Three months ago, it was last seen in the town of Lop Nur in Ruoqiang County, Xinjiang. ”
"Lop Nur?" Principal Long blurted out, "It's a place where supernatural creatures gather, and it is still a mysterious area in both the living and spiritual realms. ”
Mo Ran is also very interested in this information, "Three months ago, he and his brother Liu Hui, and an old man entered Lop Nur, all three of them were tomb robbers, and after three months, there was no news at all, and they recently appeared in Xiaoling Mountain, Wuxi, and the other two disappeared. I think that the Xiaoling Mountain Underground Palace is not so simple. ”
Principal Long looked at Fu Jiansheng and smiled meaningfully, "Let's take it as this year's championship mission." ”
Fu Jiansheng gladly accepted, "Just leave it to our seventh group." ”
A fleeting smile appeared on Mo Ran's face, and his fingertips flicked quickly, sending a message to someone.
......
In a blink of an eye, the National Day holiday has passed, and in the eyes of the vast majority of people, it is just an ordinary seven-day holiday. Hakuma Shino woke up from the seven-day GSG, after a turning point in his life - the Heroic Ceremony, until the next day he moved into the most high-profile and luxurious dormitory at the University of Phoenix, and this year's GSG was completely over.
This three-story sea-view villa located on the east coast of Phoenix University may be worth only enough for an ordinary person's salary to pay one month's rent, and Bai Maxiao, who has no money, no status and no looks, is completely incompatible with such a house.
But it's only one year, and unless you can win the championship again a year later, you will move out as soon as the champion is born, just like the first group a day ago. But not all of the defending losing champions were as lucky as the first group. On the day they moved into the Elite House, apart from the students, even the old professors who had been in the service for decades had never seen so many people live in the Elite House once - although on the eve of GSG, they thought that this would be the first time they would see a person living in the Elite House.
The seventh group lives on the third floor, and the first team lives on the second floor, which was originally designed to be a dining room and living room on the first floor, guest rooms on the second floor, and dormitories for the champions on the third floor.
On the standing sign at the door, there are two groups of wooden signs hung for the first time, but after having a foil, it seems that the wooden signs of the seventh group are much newer.
Since that day, Bai Maxiao will leave a look back and whisper of amazement every time he goes to class, and there are often candid photos of encountering "little dark horses" on the forum of Phoenix University, and Bai Maxiao has become a celebrity on campus for a while.
Winning the championship alone has added to his popularity that he didn't have in previous years, and his operation of sharing the honor with the team or even another group has attracted a lot of fans.
Textbook hero, the words "indifferent to fame and fortune" have been engraved on his head.
In the evening, for the first time since the end of GSG, the seven people had the opportunity to sit in the small dining room of this elite house to have dinner together to celebrate the success of this cooperation.
Originally, he planned to pack a table of sumptuous dishes from the cafeteria, but Bai Maxiao said that he wanted everyone to taste his craftsmanship, which was a skill that was discovered after Fu Zheng's surgery, and everyone's faces were surprised and expectant.
Bai Mashio, who had been busy all afternoon, put a table of dishes on the table, very ordinary home-cooked dishes, the color and flavor of the utensils hovered in the passing line, but they all felt the taste of home.
Everyone has a happy smile on their faces, and maybe this is what it feels like to be reborn after a catastrophe.
After the five flavors of the dish, everyone raised a glass together to celebrate the championship of Hakumashio.
"By the way, where did you go that night in the front hall?How did you suddenly run into the last circular stone room?" After the celebration, Mo Qi asked this question that everyone was curious about, and what made her feel the most palpitating was the meow of the cat at that time.
Bai Ma Xiao smacked his lips, like a big boss with a big belly, leaning on the back of the chair, as if he was about to put up suspense.
"If you don't want to say it, I'll do it for you. I was the first to die, but I've been watching the live stream. Wang Shuo, who fell behind as soon as he entered the Shahai, became the most vocal of the seven at this time.
Bai Ma Xiao said angrily, "You say, I don't believe you've seen everything." ”
"This guy, I don't know what to think in the middle of the night, I want to go to the dragon chair in the front hall, who knows that I was startled by the desk, fell on the dragon chair, triggered the mechanism of the dragon wall, and turned to a secret passage. ”
"What was startled by the desk!" Bai Maxiao corrected, "It's a coffin! I was scared when I saw a dead person inside, don't talk about me, even if you suddenly have a dead face in front of you in the middle of the night, you will definitely be scared half to death!"
"Don't talk nonsense, I've been watching, there was nothing in it when you lifted the tablecloth, and the director gave a close-up. Wang Shuo obviously ignored his "quibble", and then said, "You must not have imagined that the secret passage is below you, directly through the nave and apse, and connected to the circular stone corridor. ”
Everyone laughed, Bai Maxiao's face turned red, and said: "How do I know it's a big circle, besides, I didn't find out where I came in from, if it was really from the secret passage into the circular stone corridor, then there must be an entrance, what about the entrance?"
"This is the clever place, not long after you enter the stone corridor, the circular stone corridor turns up, and when you go back, you can only see a wall. This is a very bizarre structural design, the circular stone corridor has two entrances, one is connected to the extra-long stone corridor leading directly to the front hall, and the other is connected to the apse, as long as the circular stone corridor is rotated, only one of the two entrances will remain, and the other will face the wall of the outer ring, which is exactly the same as the surrounding wall, and it is difficult to find. Speaking of which, you are also lucky, when you pass through the apse, the entrance to the apse is opened, otherwise you may be eliminated in the apse. ”
The five of them nodded their heads, it seems that in such a strange place, the people in it are confused throughout the whole process, only Wang Shuo and Luo Yong can see clearly from the perspective of God.
"Not only that, but the inner ring of the stone gallery, the wall that clings to the stone chamber, is also movable, but the time is very regular, probably related to the turbine stone gallery on the periphery of the nave, which is only open for one minute a day. ”
"No wonder!" Bai Maxiao patted his thigh violently, "I said that I sat there for a long time, and suddenly a door opened, and I thought that my spirit had moved the Jade Emperor." ”
Ning Jing picked up the napkin on the table and threw it at him, "You also moved the Jade Emperor, I think you moved the revolutionary ancestors! Let me ask you, is it you who scare us by singing the Young Pioneers song in the stone room?"
Bai Maxiao looked aggrieved, "Who scared you, was scared of me or not, I just entered the door and closed, the whole stone room was pitch black, I used a flashlight to shine for a long time and only saw four pillars and a stone table, at this time I heard something broken, a look, the pillar revealed the eyes of a big python, I was so frightened that I screamed, I didn't stand firm and fell and hit the stone table, only to find that the stone table was a coffin, and the coffin board on it could be moved. ”
Mo Qi scolded: "So you are scared to get into the coffin? You are really there, and you are still in the mood to sing in the coffin to scare us, and you are also learning to scare me!"
"Listen to me. Then the pillar had been stable for a while, and then it cracked even more, revealing a head, and I screamed again, and the pillar stopped again. I guess it doesn't move as long as there's a sound? So I kept yelling, hey, it just didn't move. So I took a flare from the sarcophagus and hid in it – it was just a stopgap measure – and then I thought it was too boring to just scream and started singing. ”
"You make sense. Mo Qi rolled his eyes, pointed at him with a fork and said, "What's the matter with that cat's meow? I almost died at your hands!"
Bai Maxiao stretched out his hand to block it, as if he was really afraid that she would poke her with a fork, "That'...... I've been singing for a long time and my throat hurts, so it's reasonable to learn how to call animals......"
Mo Qi slapped the fork on the table and said, "It's very reasonable, don't you like to sing, come, you can sing enough today." ”
Everyone began to sing, even Tan Ju, Nie Jianfeng, and even Luo Yong, who had not spoken, joined in the fun, and the entire elite house echoed his ugly out-of-tune singing voice all night, but the laughter never stopped.
......
Until late at night, the elite house returned to peace.
The villa away from the campus is exceptionally quiet at this time, with a view of the expansive campus from the balcony and the huge replica building in the distance.
In the room of the elite house, everyone has their own thing to do.
Tan Ju was lying on the bed and sending a message to a person in the distance, sharing the joy of this GSG.
Mo Qi lay in Wang Shuo's arms, his small hand gently grasping the silver whistle on his chest. Wang Shuo stroked her hair and whispered something in her ear
Tranquility woke up from her dream and saw Nie Jianfeng in front of the balcony, she got out of bed, walked behind him, and gently hugged his waist from behind. Nie Jianfeng turned to look at Tranquility, took off the cat head bracelet in his hand, and handed it to her.
Luo Yong sat at the desk, finished writing the last word, carefully folded the letter, and hid it in a photo frame for a group photo on the corner of the table, he smiled, and his thick hand gently brushed the person in the group photo.
Bai Ma Xiao walked in the white vast, looked at the girl in the pavilion in front of him, and said, "Soul couple, I want to see Bai Mafei's memory." ”
"Yes, what do you want to see?"
"His memories of practicing spiritual arts. If you can, can you teach me his spiritual skills?"
The soul couple looked at him with a relieved smile on her face, as if she had been looking forward to this moment for a long, long time.
Everything seems to be peaceful, and it seems that everyone is about to have a good university life. But no one knew that darkness was creeping in.
