The second day was the day that Wen Jilie had agreed with the Gate of Hades.
This afternoon, there were basically no important classes, so Kang Xiujia, who had already retired, hurried home. Even lunch was not eaten at school, but a piece of bread was bought at the canteen and eaten while waiting for the bus. She was totally uncomfortable being at school now. Fortunately, Yueqi University occupies a large area, and the teaching buildings where classes are usually held are far away from Building No. 4.
At the same time, Wen Jilie was also feeling agitated at the moment, thinking about the meeting with that "expert" in the afternoon. At the same time, he became more and more familiar with the name Yi Runan. Therefore, during the first class in the afternoon, he deliberately asked a student in his class who was usually gossipy: "Have you heard of Yi Runan?"
"Oh! Of course I know! What? Wen Jilie, are you interested in horror novels?"
horror story? Wen Jilie was taken aback for a moment, and then the person said: "This person is one of the most famous horror novelists in the mainland, have you read "Death from Human Shape"?"
Wen Jilie shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it, but I have heard of it. It seems to be a famous horror movie in Hong Kong a few years ago. It seems to have a high box office."
"Hey, why haven't you watched such a classic movie? That movie is based on a novel secretly written by Yi Run."
Wen Jilie thought for a while, a horror novelist and a supernatural expert, it was difficult to equate the two for a while, but then he understood, could it be because he often encountered supernatural events in his life that Will write a horror novel
After this class was over, he ran towards the library, looking for Yi Runan's horror novels. As a result, I borrowed "Death from Human Shape" and his other novel "Room No. 3".
Then, he borrowed these two books, and in the next class, he started to read these two books. Anyway, the class is very loose, and Wen Jilie reads very fast. I read a book.
After reading "Death from Human Shape", he had to sigh, the author is really a ghost! How can ordinary people conceive such a terrifying plot? No, Wen Jilie immediately thought, is the plot in the book really fictitious
After class, he looked at his watch, and there was still an hour before the time he had agreed with Run An, so he went back to the dormitory first, and started to read another book.
At this time, Kang Xiujia had already returned home. Her family has a large yard with many hardy trees, but her parents don't have much time to manage it.
It was very windy today, and when she was surfing the Internet in her room, she heard the wind knocking on the window from time to time, making a vibrating sound.
She would look towards the window from time to time, and only when she confirmed that there was nothing outside the window could she feel at ease.
Time passed little by little.
Finally, it was almost the appointed time.
Wen Jilie went to the small restaurant as scheduled. At this time, it was about a quarter past five.
He sketched the appearance of the horror novelist in his mind, and at the same time, he expected the other party to give him a good answer. Of course, the greatest hope is to completely end the shadow brought by Building 4.
When entering the restaurant, the waiter came up and asked, "Sir, how many people are there?"
"I, come to find Mr. Yi Runan..."
"Oh, please follow me."
After a while, the waiter led Wen Jilie to an elegant small box upstairs. The box was not big, and it was surrounded by screens. After the waiter led him into the box, he saw Run An who had been waiting there for a long time.
"Hello," Run An pointed to the seat next to him with a smile, and said, "Please sit down, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Wen Jilie looked at Run An, he thought that the other party was a middle-aged man over forty years old, but he didn't expect him to be so young, he looked only in his twenties.
After Wen Jilie sat down, he felt a little awkward in the atmosphere. After all, the two sides didn't know each other at all, and the topic to be discussed was so special that he didn't know how to speak.
"Don't be too nervous. Well, can you tell me your real name?"
"Wen... Wen Jilie, gentle Wen, Xin Qiji's illness, Ye Yonglie's fierceness."
Run An nodded, and then began to cut into the topic.
"Hello. We have already investigated the situation of the girl who died in Building 4. This is the specific material. You can take a look at it first. Then, we can exchange opinions." As he said, he gave Wen Lie a bag of materials.
Wen Jilie was taken aback for a moment, and immediately took it over, took out the information inside, and read it as quickly as possible.
"How... how?"
When he saw how Lin Xiuyun committed suicide, he couldn't believe it. Considering his ability to accept, Run An didn't print out the photos for him to see.
"Mr. Yi..." He squeezed the document in his hand tightly and asked, "Can you tell me, are there really ghosts in this world?"
Run An was silent for a moment, then said: "Whether there are ghosts in the world is not the key, but...whether what you encounter is a real ghost."
This is the core of the problem, and Wen Jilie is very clear about it.
"What we saw that day...is it really Lin Xiuyun's soul? What is that mask?"
"It should be a curse. I have encountered many cases similar to yours in the past." Run An remembered that when Duan Yuezhen, Luo Guangming and others entered Ningluo's house, after seeing the ghost painting, they were killed by the girl in the painting. Killing ghosts one by one is very similar to the problem Wen Jilie encountered this time. They also entered a forbidden place that they shouldn't enter, and saw things they shouldn't see.
Sun Pu's disappearance is probably due to this curse.
It's just that it's different from that time, and the order and date of death can no longer be known. However, the key to the curse should be the mask.
Until now, where Lin Xiuyun's mask came from is still a mystery.
"It is very likely that you have encountered a curse. But the problem now is that you must figure out the law of the curse."
Run An recalled that although all kinds of ghosts and curses encountered in the past were extremely strange, each curse had its own laws. As long as the laws were found out, they could be prevented according to the specific situation.
Run An planned to gather all the cursed people first, so he said, "That day, there were two girls who entered Building 4, right? Where are they now?"
Wen Jilie replied: "They are all my classmates, do you want to see them?"
"Yes. You call them immediately and call them here. Listen carefully..." Run An said seriously: "You must understand the seriousness of this matter. Encountering a curse means that you may die, or even It will be worse than death... If you want to live, you must find out the truth of this curse! Call them, even if there is something big, you have to come here immediately!"
Although Wen Jilie didn't know if Run An was trustworthy, but after all, there was no one else he could trust, so he called Song Yu first.
The wind is blowing harder and harder.
After Kang Xiujia had dinner, her mother said to her, "Xiujia, the wind outside is too strong, and there are leaves everywhere in the yard. Go and sweep it now."
"Okay, I know."
After putting the dishes and chopsticks into the sink, Kang Xiujia took a broom and came to the yard.
Sure enough, as my mother said, because of the strong wind, the leaves were blown all over the ground.
Kang Xiujia waved the broom and began to sweep up the fallen leaves on the ground.
"It's already spring... Now the ground is full of fallen leaves, it looks like autumn."
Sweeping and sweeping, she suddenly found a place where the leaves were concentrated a little strangely.
In that area, there are large gaps between the piled leaves, instead of being densely distributed. In those vacant places, there is not a single leaf.
"Huh... Strange..."
At this time, Wen Jilie called Kang Xiujia's cell phone. Her mother answered the phone.
"Hello, is this Kang Xiujia?"
"I am her mother, who are you?"
"Ah, hello, auntie. I'm her classmate. I have something to do with her. Can I let her answer the phone?"
"Okay, wait a moment."
Kang Xiujia walked to that place and looked carefully.
The more she looked at it, the more she felt something was wrong.
those weird leaves...
The first thing she saw were two piles of leaves, forming an oval.
etc…
The more Kang Xiujia looked at it, the more familiar it became.
These leaves...
In front, there are also two such ovals, but they are smaller in comparison.
And there's a pile of leaves in the middle...
Around these strange leaves, another circle of leaves was piled up, forming an irregular circle.
Eye…
nose…
mouth…
Face…
just bad ears...
No, without ears.
because…
This is that mask!
The fallen leaves in the yard exactly formed the mask that Kang Xiujia saw that day!
And where she stands now...
It is the position of the "mouth" of the "mask"!
At this time, another gust of wind blew, and all the leaves on the ground flew up. And Kang Xiujia was surprised to see that the fallen leaves that formed the "mask" on the ground suddenly all stuck to her body!
"Xiujia... your phone..."
Kang Xiujia's mother took her mobile phone and came to the yard. And what caught her eyes was a large pile of leaves fluttering in the air. A large number of leaves were tightly glued together, as if... a human figure!
After the strong wind passed, the leaves scattered and fell to the ground.
The yard was empty.
There was no trace of Kang Xiujia at all.
