Chapter 21:
This time there is still only half an hour to hide.
The red candle in his hand burned again, lighting up everything around him. Gao Su glanced around, followed the original route and walked towards the grove. However, it didn't take long for her to stop.
The scene in front of me became familiar again, and even the crow that fell on the roadside stone was the same one as before.
Chao Su:…
She stopped and looked at the crow. The crow spread its wings impatiently and flew towards the sky "quack quack". The piercing cry pierced the sky, setting off the surrounding silence even more thoroughly.
The flame of the candle is beating and may go out at any time.
It may take longer than going to the woods, so it is better to go in another direction.
Zhao Su thought for a while, then walked towards the male and female dormitories.
Others did not share their experience of encountering ghosts, so Chaosu did not know much about ghosts in the classroom, ghosts on the rooftop, etc. Therefore, the only thing she counted as knowing, apart from the ghost in the grove, was the ghost in the female dormitory.
On her way to the men's and women's dormitories, she saw Duan Ang who was pulling his hat. When the two clusters of flames met on the road, surprised expressions appeared on both sides.
After seeing Chao Su nodding, he waved his hand rather macholy and said, "If that's the case, I'll give this place to you, and I'll go and take a look."
Zhao Su did not answer, she lowered her head and glanced at her watch and said, "Twenty minutes have passed in half an hour. Whether you go back the same way or go to the teaching building, at least you will It takes seven or eight minutes, and the rest of the time, are you sure you can find a suitable hiding spot?"
"If I were you, I would choose the same place."
While talking to Su, he continued to walk towards the dormitory building.
When Duan Ang behind her heard Chao Su's words, he took a slight step forward and followed behind Chao Su. Just like a big boy feeling annoyed for going back and forth, Duan Ang has not spoken.
Because there are ghosts in the female dormitory, she and Duan Ang instinctively walked towards the door of the male dormitory.
When the two sides entered the boys' dormitory, Duan Ang said:
"Why don't you choose a place first?"
He always felt that it was a little strange to compete with girls for hiding places. The machismo gene hidden in his nature made him reluctant to compete with women even at this time.
In his cognition, it was an extremely rude thing.
Glancing at Su, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't answer. She walked straight to the fifth floor and opened a random bedroom. The furnishings in this bedroom are very shabby, the desk is full of all kinds of messy books, the quilt is army green, and there are traces of people lying on it.
Everything is normal.
"It feels a little weird." Duan Ang frowned. When he stepped into this building, he felt a very uneasy feeling in his heart. Now, after entering this room, he feels creepy behind him, as if a pair of eyes have been staring at him in the dark.
Duan Ang has a bad intuition.
His physique is psychic, and the first talent to awaken is spiritual awareness.
[Innate Physique 1: Those who are enveloped in darkness will eventually be swallowed up by darkness. Sometimes your intuition is better than your brain. 】
Therefore, he said promptly, "Let's change rooms."
When Chao Su heard Duan Ang's words, she didn't ask why, she left the house and opened the door of the next room.
As soon as you enter the door, there are still six beds and six desks. However, what makes people feel strange is that no matter where the book is placed, or the folds of the quilt, it is exactly the same as the room they just opened.
A perfect replica.
"A ghost hit the wall again?" Duan Ang said. The feeling of this room still gave him a strong discomfort, and even as the hiding time continued to run out, his inner unease became stronger and stronger.
Chao Su did not speak, she turned her head and opened other rooms several times. Almost all the rooms looked exactly the same, with army green quilts and books piled on the tabletops, which suddenly made Chao Su and Duan Ang's faces ugly.
"Five minutes." Zhao Su glanced at her watch and said, she quickly flipped the book with both hands, and soon found a love letter from the gap between the pages. She took a quick look at it. Every love letter was a confession, eager and wonderful. The names on each love letter are different, one moment is Lily, the other is Guoguo... From the signature and date, it can be seen that this man named Kang Huishou pursued many people at the same time.
While flipping, Chaosu also saw a hospital appraisal. She is not a professional medical staff and can't understand the above indicators, but she sees the words "Confirmed Pregnancy" on it.
Pregnant.
This made Chaosu immediately think of the woman who gave birth to a child and died in the toilet.
And Duan Ang behind her took out a mobile phone from the quilt. The battery on the mobile phone was only 5%, and Duan Ang used the speed of his life to quickly click on WeChat and The chat records of the news, eating melons all the way, stunned.
"How could this be?"
"And this action?"
"My God."
While eating the melon, Duan Ang took the time to explain to Chao Su: "This man has stepped on a few boats and used a lot of tricks to chase down a lot of girls. Then he will make big others. The belly is not responsible, and he directly blocked it. All of them are pseudonyms, and there are five, six, seven or eight WeChat accounts in the mobile phone."
In the end, Duan Ang couldn't help but complain: "I can't imagine looking at this phone. It's actually a high school student's phone. It's terrible."
At this moment, Chao Su patted him on the shoulder and reminded: "Time is running out, put the phone on silent. Find a place first."
Two or three minutes left. The flame of the candle was slightly warm, and Chao Su set his eyes on the wardrobe. This is a huge wardrobe. The top of the wardrobe is full of boxes. After Chao Su climbed to the top bunk along the bed rail, he slowly jumped over.
This series of actions stunned Duan Ang below.
Then, he saw Chao Su shrinking his body perfectly in the center of the carton. Whether looking from front to back or from left to right, Chao Su could not be seen. Duan Ang felt admiration.
Since the surrounding rooms are all the same, Duan Ang doesn't bother to find a location in other rooms.
He held the candle in one hand and the bed rail in the other, and turned over to the top bunk. He stacked all the quilts up and down and hid his entire body. After doing this, he held the candle and waited patiently.
Ten seconds countdown.
Ten.
Nine.
Eight.
…
After half an hour, the candle in Chao Su's hand suddenly went out. The air became gloomy and thick at this moment. Zhao Su held his breath and listened to the surrounding sounds with his ears erect.
Three minutes, the door was quiet and silent.
Chao Su and Duan Ang did not move.
Five minutes later, a loud noise was faintly heard.
Ten minutes later, there was a bang bang bang in the corridor.
A ghost is coming.
Chaosu immediately held his breath.
When I hear it, it makes my heart go crazy. She dragged for a long time and ended up in the next room.
The first room opened by Chao Su and Duan Ang.
The sound insulation of the bedroom is very poor, Chao Su and the others can clearly hear the crazy sound of the thing. The things on the table were smashed to the ground, and the sound of "bang bang bang" made the eardrums tremble.
Finally, there was a sharp laughter.
It's a woman's laughter.
The laughter came from across the wall, as if it was close to the ear, and there was a chill in my heart. After about three or four minutes, there was a sound of locking the door next door.
Then, the footsteps went straight forward and came to the door of the room where Chaosu and the others were now.
The woman seemed to be in a good mood as she hummed. The melody of the song is melodious, and Chao Su sounds very familiar. It was the song I heard when I was at the school gate before.
The door was slowly pushed open, and something was coming slowly.
"Husband, are you there?"
"Husband, why haven't you come out yet."
"Husband, how can you write a love letter to another girl."
"Husband, are you here? I seem to see you."
The other party's voice was long and low, with some dense coolness. Especially when he heard the latter sentence, Chao Su felt a warning in his heart. She turned her head to the side, looked through the seams of the stacked boxes, and found that the other party was facing Duan Ang's direction.
She was in an upside-down posture, and her head was bent in a strange state. She looked straight up, and the smile on her mouth took on an exaggerated and twisted gesture.
At this moment, the woman is facing Chao Su. Chao Su saw the dense talisman from behind her. The yellow talisman paper used cinnabar to depict a string of strange symbols, which were covered with layers of scarlet blood.
It was as if something exploded behind her, spurting countless blood.
Just thinking about such a scene made Chao Su feel dizzy. She closed her eyes and calmed down for a while. At this moment, the woman spoke again:
"Husband, why don't you look at me?"
"Am I getting ugly? You don't like me anymore?"
"Or, you want me to come to you."
"Here I am!"
The woman moved her body, she walked in the direction of the ladder, her figure was extremely distorted, and she could even see some enchanting and tempting flavors.
Seeing this, Chao Su was full of sympathy for Duan Ang.
Duan Ang:…
Q: What does it feel like to be a female ghost scratching her head in front of her?
Answer: I can't bear to look directly.
Duan Ang resisted in his heart, but his face involuntarily showed a look of joy. After all, he has also experienced one or two supernatural spaces, and he knows that the most important thing at this moment is to ensure his mentality and not be too frightened and afraid.
He recalled the names he just saw frantically in his mind, and then tentatively asked:
"Lili, long time no see"
This gentle village.
However, the charming figure of the female ghost paused.
She raised her head, a line of blood and tears flowed from her eyes like this, and splashed on the bed "tick tick":
"Husband, which little **** is Lily? Is that the one who wrote the love letter?"
Speaking, the blood flowed more and more on her body, and the dark green sheets and quilt turned dark red in an instant. Looking at the ghostly appearance of the female ghost, Duan Ang groaned in his heart, and he said urgently and wisely:
"I don't know any Lily, you have to believe me, my dear, I am sincere to you."
Hearing this sentence, the expression on the female ghost's face softened. Just when Duan Ang felt that he was about to escape, the female ghost's face suddenly turned grim: "Husband, you never called me dear before."
"You used to call me my wife. You said, husband and wife are one family. When they get old, they will become old man and old woman. You said, you want to accompany me to grow old slowly of."
The voice of the female ghost became more and more hysterical from the back.
She slowly crawled towards Duan Ang, her voice became sad and sad: "I remembered, I remembered! I am dead. Husband, you said earlier We will grow old together. At that time, you will be the old man, and I will be the old woman. "
"But I'm dead now. You die too to prove that you don't like me well. Husband, I found you"
The female ghost said, the movements of her hands and feet quickened, and she was about to climb onto the bed in an instant.
After the female ghost said this, the red candle in Duan Ang's hand suddenly lit up. Duan Ang screamed, seeing that the situation was not good, and immediately took action. He reached out and picked up the quilt beside him, stepped forward, and threw the quilt directly on the female ghost's head. When the female ghost's sight entered the blind spot, she quickly ran forward. When he was about to run out the door, he turned around to confirm the location of the female ghost, and by the way, glanced at Chao Su above the wardrobe, and made a "go first" gesture.
Even in such a predicament, Duan Ang still did not have any panic expression on his face. He was in high spirits, and his face was full of youthful vigor.
Chao Su still squatted quietly in place, her breathing slowed down, trying hard not to be discovered by the female ghost at this critical juncture.
At this time, Chao Su was acutely aware that something was wrong with the game.
Although the name of this game is called hide and seek, but when the female ghost found Duan Ang, the candle in Chaosu's hand did not ignite, and the new round of the game did not continue. Obviously, in this game, there are also so-called hidden rules.
Chaosu doesn't know what the hidden rules are, but she instinctively cherishes her life now.
She hid behind the cardboard box and listened to the female ghost walking towards the gate step by step, and finally disappeared at the door. At this time, Chao Su dared to breathe a sigh of relief. But even so, she was still in no hurry to go out.
Whether it's a face-to-face encounter on the way to escape, or a female ghost suddenly can't think of it and kills a carbine, it's not what Chao Su wants to see.
She held the candle and hoped that the candle in her hand would light up so that she could get out of the current predicament and usher in 30 minutes of safe time, while hoping that Duan Ang would not be killed so soon The ghost caught.
At this moment, time became tense and anxious.
After about five minutes, there was the sound of unhurried footsteps in the corridor. The footsteps did not show any signs of restraining, just like this, they walked towards the bedroom where Chao Su was.
Who?
Chao Su suddenly woke up.
She looked towards the door along the gap of the box, and saw a pair of extremely fat hands pushing the door open like this.
The fat man walked in with a smile, looked around, and tutted twice. His dark eyes fell straight on the cardboard box, and through the gaps in the cardboard box, he looked at Chao Su and said:
"I've seen you, come out."
Seeing that Chaosu didn't move, he wasn't in a hurry at all, so he sat on the chair in front of the desk naturally:
"The rooms here are all the same. Just compare the differences between the two rooms. The cardboard boxes above those rooms are not as dense as the ones you have here."
Chao Su just sat in the box, cautiously not choosing. But after hearing what the fat man said, she frowned and said:
"It's game time, how did you choose?"
He said in a low voice, "I suspect that there are ghosts in our group of players."
"I know you think I'm lying now, but what I said below is true, I won't lie." The fat man paused for a while, as if he had left it to Chaosu. Think time. After a while, he opened his mouth and said:
"Don't you think it's strange? It's a game of hide and seek. The female ghost doesn't have any ability to pass through walls. But why, she can accurately find your location. The first one to open The room where you stayed. Don't you think it's strange?"
"Let's talk about me. When I was found for the first time, it was the same. I chose the third floor at that time. The room, and then looked under the bed. That's how I was found. Think about it, how could these ghosts find us in the first place if there was no one behind the command."
As the fat man said, the expression on his face became extraordinarily rich.
"So, I suspect there is a ghost."
After the fat man finished saying this, he began to wait patiently, his hands clasped together in a hurry, as if he was eager to hear Chao Su's answer. However, Chao Su remained silent. Before he could speak to Chao Su, Fatty sighed softly and began to persuade again:
"Think about that lyric again. The lyric says, I'm looking at you from behind. What does behind mean? In a narrow sense, behind is literal. But in a broad sense Look, what kind of person can deliver behind the scenes? Of course, his teammates, his own partners."
"I'm watching you from behind. Does that mean that someone on our team wants to play against us."
After the fat man said this, he added: "The above are all my conjectures. If you don't believe what I said, then I have no choice."
After saying this, Fatty sat on the chair and waited for Chao Su's reaction.
Finally, Zhao Su spoke.
"When you do reading comprehension in Chinese, you must have not deducted much points, right?"
"That's right." Fatty nodded, then immediately responded, "No, what does this have to do with what I just said?"
"It doesn't matter, just curious." Chao Su replied. She glanced at the fat man through the gap, and always felt that something was wrong with him. But what is it, she can't say it for a while.
"Then who do you think is the ghost now?"
The fat man frowned and thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure out why. He shook his head and said, "We have been in contact for too short a time, and we don't know each other's personalities. I can't tell the difference at all."
"Hey, I knew we had a lot of chat at the gate when we assembled."
The fat man sighed with emotion and suddenly silenced. There was a slight sound of footsteps at the door, "pa-da-pa-da", and finally stopped at the door of the room. The door opened slowly without making a sound. Immediately afterwards, Duan Ang's figure suddenly appeared in the room.
"Fuck, someone!" Duan Ang was startled after seeing the fat man, and the red candle in his hand almost rolled to the ground. It wasn't until he patted his chest a few times that he asked Fatty angrily:
"No, you're here anyway."
"Why can't I be here!" said the fat man gritted his teeth. Obviously, he was also frightened by Duan Ang's attitude just now, and there was a little anger on his face.
The two stood face to face like this, and it seemed that there was no problem, but the more he looked at Su, the more he felt that something was wrong.
Suddenly, she seemed to realize something and asked:
"Fatty, where's your red candle?"
The fat man was empty-handed, and there was no red candle in his hands.
And there is no red candle, according to Mr. Crow's words, is dead.
After hearing Chao Su's question, Duan Ang immediately reacted and stood at a diagonal distance from Fatty.
The fat man couldn't help rolling his eyes when he saw Duan Ang's exaggerated behavior:
"I want to kill you, I'll kill you earlier, okay?"
After complaining about this sentence, he said calmly: "After the first round of the game, my red candle disappeared."
"After the first round of the game?" Hearing this time, she paused for Sue, and then she said, "However, at the end of the first round of the game, we are at the school gate again. When we were gathering, I saw you holding a half red candle."
The fat man shook his head and denied it: "How is it possible? Since the first round of the game, I haven't been out of this dormitory, let alone assembled again."
The scene fell silent for a moment, and the whole room was so silent that only shallow breathing could be heard.
If the fat man with the red candle is a ghost, that is to say, they are all deceived by the fat man...or, strictly speaking, deceived by the crow.
If the fat man without the red candle is a ghost, then that means they are with a ghost now.
In either case, it doesn't seem to be much better.
After a brief silence, the fat man spoke first:
"I know myself, I'm not a ghost."
"The only inference now is that the person holding the red candle is not necessarily a human. The person who does not hold the red candle is not necessarily a ghost. It is very likely that there are ghosts among us who hold the red candle and become people ."
"Then here comes the problem..."
How many ghosts are in this room now?
