176. My hobby is pretending (4)
When most of the students had left, Wei Rou dragged her suitcase to the telephone booth outside and called home.
"Mom, it's me."
She held the phone in her hand, her eyes red, and tried to make sure her mother wouldn't hear any clues in her voice.
"I won't go home tonight. The car left too early and I missed it. I'll go home tomorrow morning."
The mother agreed and promised to cook delicious food for her when she came back. It was fine when she was on the phone, but as soon as she put down the phone, tears fell from Wei Rou's face.
She came out wiping her tears, and a tissue was handed to her. Wei Rou took it with her eyes downcast, and said softly, "Thank you."
Wei Mingyan looked at her crying face and said, "If you are afraid, don't go."
Wei Rou wiped her tears and shook her head, choking and saying, "I won't be afraid in a while."
"Remember, burn the paper directly after entering, break the pen they are holding, if those things want to stop you, just pretend you didn't see them, as long as you don't look at them, they can't hurt you."
Wei Rou listened to his words and nodded repeatedly.
Wei Mingyan looked at the girl in front of him, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, but whose face was full of determination. He was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Don't you blame me for going with you?"
"Why do you blame me?"
Wei Rou wiped her tears, raised her head and smiled at the boy opposite, "You have nothing to do with us, I can't let you accompany me to die."
Wei Mingyan looked at her, "Go, don't worry, you won't die."
"If something really goes wrong, I will save you."
Wei Rou nodded gratefully.
"Thank you."
She was very grateful to Wei Mingyan. After all, helping others is a favor, and not helping is a duty. If the accident was not two good friends but ordinary classmates, even Wei Rou herself would not take the risk.
Before parting, Wei Rou couldn't help but ask, "Can I ask why the Pen Fairy wants to harm people?"
"That's not the Pen Fairy. People have always thought that the Pen Fairy is actually just some ghosts."
Wei Mingyan didn't hide it and told Wei Rou directly, "People light candles and use pens to summon spirits. If there are ghosts nearby, they will be attracted by the incense of the candles. The legend of the Pen Fairy in the past is just that the ghosts ate the incense and answered some questions to repay the guests. When the incense is eaten up and the questions are asked, the guests are asked to send the ghosts away. The two parties are like completing a transaction. After the questions are asked, the transaction is over."
Wei Rou thought, "Is it really because Momo and the others didn't send the Pen Fairy away?"
"No."
Wei Mingyan shook his head, "There are no ghosts in this school."
Wei Rou was stunned, "But the ones I saw with my own eyes last time..."
" Those are not ghosts, at best they are residual spirits, just like the mentally retarded among humans, they can't think, they just act on instinct. "
"These things are attracted by incense, and after eating the incense, they will find a way to kill the people who invited them. When the people who originally invited them die, they have no connection with her, so they will naturally return to the original place to wander until the next guest appears, but last time your two roommates used white candles to summon the spirit of the pen. "
"White candles have always been used for the dead. These residual spirits were more or less worshipped by their relatives when they died. When they saw the white candles, they came even though they were not interested. What you saw that day was that the residual spirits of the whole school were attracted here. "
Wei Rou recalled the scene she saw that day again. The dense white shadows filled the corridor with numb faces, and the room was also full.
There are so many in their school...
"In fact, most schools are under the former mass graves."
Wei Mingyan looked at the tall gate of the school from a distance and explained, "Don't worry, the residual spirits need to be triggered before they appear. For example, if your two roommates hadn't summoned the pen fairy first, you wouldn't have gotten into trouble this time."
He looked at Wei Rou as if she was relieved, and then said goodbye to her, watching the girl dragging her suitcase back to school.
Residual spirits really won't appear without triggering conditions, but Wei Rou is not as lucky as others.
The residual spirits provoked by others have nothing to do with her, but as long as she sees them, those mad dog-like idiots will chase the innocent Wei Rou relentlessly.
Until she is scared to death.
It seemed to be getting darker and darker. Wei Mingyan stood outside the school gate, looked in the direction of the teaching building, and walked away.
His footsteps were very light, and there was no sound when he fell on the ground. It seemed that he was just walking a few steps slowly, but he quickly disappeared on the street.
***
Twelve o'clock in the morning
It was very windy tonight. Although the windows and doors were closed, the whistling wind could still be heard outside.
Cai Momo and Zheng Hua sat in their seats in silence.
They sat in silence for a long time. They were so afraid of the dark before, but now they felt that they were going to die, so they were not so afraid.
In the darkness, Cai Momo spoke, "I'm sorry, Zheng Hua, I shouldn't have blamed you before."
"I shouldn't have hit you."
Zheng Hua wiped her tears and whispered, "In fact, I have always been very happy to meet you."
"Me too, if we really die, it would be nice to be together in the next life."
"Let's start."
"Yeah."
The two sat in the seats they sat last time and held the pen.
"Bixian, Bixian, I am your previous life, you are my current life..."
【——】
What they couldn't see was that as the candles were lit, the white shadows that were wandering around in the school swayed towards the teaching building, and some were closer, and they even got closer to the two of them. , the hair dripping with blood dragged on the ground, making Cai Momo's shoes wet.
The seemingly empty classroom was quickly filled with greedy and pale-white residual spirits. They were packed to the brim and stood beside the two girls.
Waiting, they read out the rest of the words.
Cai Momo and Zheng Hua closed their eyes tightly and held the pens in their hands tightly.
"If you want to renew your relationship with me..."
--"boom!"
The door was flung open and the lights came on.
Wei Rou muttered to herself, 'If you can't see me, I can't see you.' She rushed straight in front of the two of them, snatched the pen from their hands and folded it under their surprised gaze.
【——】
The remnant spirits stepped forward angrily and let out sharp howls. Wei Rou turned pale and ignored the long black nails that were about to poke in front of her. She grabbed the paper on the table and put it on the candle to light it.
Just when they were about to put it on, the three of them suddenly felt a chill all over their bodies.
The candle went out without any wind.
Cai Momo and Zheng Hua both stood up and looked at her at a loss.
"Wei Rou, you..."
The lights suddenly went out again, and the two of them screamed in fright and hurriedly gathered next to Wei Rou.
Wei Rou gritted her teeth and took out her lighter.
When the light of the lighter rang out, the surrounding people began to cry and howl, and various white shadows and blood stains appeared in front of Wei Rou.
She is not afraid, she is not afraid, she is not afraid.
Wei Mingyan said, these are all mentally retarded and mentally retarded!
Wei Rou's hands were shaking violently and she put the paper on the fire.
【ah----】
Someone was shouting piercingly, like a sonic weapon exploding in her ears. Weirou's mind was shocked and went blank. She wiped her nose in a daze, and it actually started to bleed.
As soon as the blood stains appeared, the white shadows who were about to leave just now because their things were destroyed stopped in their tracks.
Hundreds of pale faces were all staring at Wei Rou.
Finally, the first remaining spirit stretched out his hand.
It stood upside down and came to Weirou ferociously, turning its neck stiffly.
[Ke-ke--]
【You...can see me...】
A gust of wind passed by, the windows were blown open, and the curtains fluttered everywhere.
Under the moonlight, Cai Momo and Zheng Hua also saw clearly the scene in the room.
"ah!!!"
Under their screams, the upside-down remnant smiled evilly at Wei Rou.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
It folded back and stretched out its hand, like a voice just crawling out of the ground, "You... can see me..."
The hand held Wei Rou's leg, using its long nails to exert force.
A book hit its hand hard.
It was obviously just a book, but the thin, dry and disgusting arm was filled with white smoke.
【Ah ah ah ah ah--】
It screamed miserably and glared resentfully in the direction of the book that was thrown at it.
A young man wearing a woolen coat and leather shoes came in holding a stack of books.
Ignoring the residual spirit's avoidance, he hit it hard one by one.
"I can see what's wrong with you? I can see you! Come on! Hit me!"
"Dong dong dong, I can hear you thumping there from far away!"
"It's not like you jumped off the building to your death, you bang-dong-dong-dong!"
【Ah ah ah ah ah--】
The residual spirit dodged and pushed back, but was still hit by books one after another. Wherever the books hit, the rotting body seemed to be burned by fire, and white smoke was exposed. Looking at the scene in front of him, , the white shadows around them all felt fear.
As soon as Wei Mingyan turned around, he jumped off the building and escaped, leaving only the inverted spirit hiding in the corner covered in white smoke.
Wei Rou collapsed on the ground and watched the boy take out a milk bottle.
In the darkness, he moved the milk bottle towards the upside-down spirit a few times, and then, as if he couldn't hold it anymore, he simply grabbed his feet and threw it down the stairs.
【Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--】
The howling of the remaining spirits disappeared with the height of the building.
Cai Momo and Zheng Hua had long been frightened.
Wei Rou was the same. She looked gratefully at the back of the young man in front of her, but found that he didn't look back for a long time. She sat up and called out: "Wei Mingyan..."
Under the moonlight, the young man slowly turned around.
He looked at Wei Rou. From this angle, only she could see his face. On his handsome face, there was a blood-red scar under the boy's right eye. It was not very big, but it looked scary. It had obviously healed, but now it was scarring. Dripping with blood.
——"Tick tock, tick tock..."
Wei Mingyan lowered his head slightly and raised his right hand to cover his eyes.
Seeing Wei Rou looking at him blankly, the young man shrugged and pretended not to care, "I didn't want you to see it."
He stretched out his left hand and put the tip of his slender white index finger to his lips, "Shh, keep it secret."
