Liu Shougui saw that I didn’t like it.
"I'll wear it. It's good for you. Remember, wear it when you get home."
Liu Shougui seemed to be giving me an order. Li Xiaohuan didn't like Liu Shougui, my future father-in-law.
"I'm leaving now, you guys take your time drinking!"
Liu Shougui left and moved to He Dana's house. Liu Yang and I also moved there. I like that place.
Liu Shougui is gone, said Li Xiaohuan.
"I've seen that Liu Yang, he's not that good, I don't want you two to be together."
"You little brat, what are you talking about?"
Li Xiaohuan didn't say anything and was unhappy. Dong Xiaoqiang came in, took the painting, put it next to me and said.
"Please give me more advice."
Then he left. I thought, he probably knew something. What did he mean? He didn't say it clearly. He used paintings to speak. It was really hard to understand.
When I returned to He Dana's place that day, Liu Shougui was in his room and didn't come out. Liu Yang came back from get off work, and I showed him the painting.
The strangest thing about this painting is that the person standing on the bridge is not Yun Bai, but someone else. I don’t recognize this person. Almost everything else has not changed, except that a fish jumped out of the river. I couldn’t figure it out, and Liu Yang didn’t understand it either.
"I think you should ask Dong Xiaoqiang what this means?"
"I think if he wanted to tell me, he would have said it long ago. Why would he use a picture? If he doesn't want to say it, there's no point in you asking."
I took out the black gold bone, drilled the holes in it, and put it on. Liu Yang asked me, and I told him.
"I don't like wearing that thing."
That day, Liu Yang went to bed early. I sat in the yard, unable to sleep. I wondered, when would I go into Room 18? I always felt that Room 18 was strange and frightening. My father had never been in there either.
Looking at the eighteen houses and eighteen doors, each door has a different pattern. The doors with hollow carvings seem to reveal something inside.
I stood up, walked to a door, pushed it, but it didn't open. It seemed to be locked from the inside. I looked inside through the window, but couldn't see anything.
Plugged in? I was wondering, Liu Shougui came out, and I was startled.
"Want to go in?"
I nodded.
Liu Shougui came over and inserted a knife through the crack in the door, and the door opened.
"You go in, I'm going back to sleep."
I looked inside for a long time before going in and turning on the light. It was dim, but I could see everything inside clearly.
There was a long table in the room, with a diary and a pen on it, nothing else.
I looked at this diary and I thought it was written by He Dana, a diary about Yin studies.
When I was about to reach out to take it, I heard a sound and didn't move. I listened to the source of the sound, but I couldn't hear clearly what the sound was. It was vague.
I walked around and sat on the chair. The moment I sat down, I felt someone on the chair, as if I was sitting on someone. I jumped up immediately. I didn't see anyone, and I started sweating. If it was a ghost, I could see it, but it wasn't a ghost, so what was it
I stopped moving and slowly backed away. I didn't know that Liu Shougui was standing at the door.
"fine."
I screamed in fright.
"You didn't even make any noise. You scared me to death."
"fine."
"Nothing? What's on that chair?"
"That is a thing that guards the book. It does not exist. It is a kind of guarding of gathering matter in Yin studies. After a person dies, there will be a kind of matter that gathers into a kind of qi or form, but it cannot be seen. It's okay for you to sit on it."
I thought, there's nothing I can do, so I came out and closed the door. When I was about to leave, I heard a sound. It was the sound of a door being locked. Can that thing lock a door
I was sweating.
"These are all very normal things. There will be more things in the future. He Dana didn't tell you, probably because he didn't have time. I slowly figured it out by myself, and there are some things I don't understand."
Liu Shougui went back to sleep.
I fell asleep in the middle of the night. I don't know why, but I always felt uneasy. This uneasiness came again.
The next day, I rested, Liu Yang also rested, and Liu Shougui went out after breakfast. I don’t know where he went.
Liu Yang asked me.
"He Dana died in an instant, and this house belongs to you. Didn't he tell you anything?"
"No, I have to start all over again."
I said after locking the door.
"I want to go into that room and take a look."
"Okay, I'll accompany you, but be careful. I heard from my dad that He Dana is famous for his weirdness. Some things are fine for you to touch, but other people will get into trouble. He has studied Yin science to a certain extent."
I know this much. He Dana has reached a certain level in Yin studies, a level that I cannot understand. Of course, the subject of Yin studies is vast, and he may only know a part of it, which is already beyond my comprehension.
It was still the same door from yesterday. I used a knife to open it. Standing here, I could see the diary on the table.
"That's the diary written by He Dana. It's about Yin studies. He said that after his death, he wanted me to study and read these things."
I told you what happened yesterday, Liu Yang said.
"Then you don't have to do it. Just take out the diary."
This is also a solution.
I went in and reached out to take the book, but I felt a hand pressing down on my hand. I startled and pulled my hand back.
"No, I can't take it."
Liu Yang also frowned.
At this time, Liu Yang's cell phone rang. I stepped out and closed the door. The door was locked again. I thought it was a person. Liu Shougui said it was a kind of matter. After a person dies, this kind of matter will be left behind. Is it electric matter? Finally, they gathered together. So how did He Dana do it? How did he gather these matters together
It was so weird, I felt scared.
I was sitting on a chair in the yard when Liu Yang came over after answering the phone.
"Something happened at school."
Something happened at No. 351 Middle School. It seems like something happens every year.
"What's up?"
"I think you have to come with me. I can't do it."
Liu Yang didn't say what it was, and probably couldn't explain it clearly.
We went to the No. 351 Senior High School. The principal, vice principal, and director were all at the door, looking anxious.
"Master Ke, I'm finally here. I'm in big trouble."
They took me to a place, which was a basement with a big iron door that was locked.
"What's going on?"
"This is the basement of 351. It's filled with the school's broken things, tables, big chairs, anyway, all the useless things are here. This basement is more than a hundred years old. The big iron door is half a meter thick. I don't know what it was used for originally. Such a thick door, probably for something. The problem now is that there is a rumor circulating in the school for seven or eight days, and no one has noticed it. That is, some words appear in some students' books, of course, they are not in the books, and when they appear, there will be a message asking them to go to a place. We didn't take it seriously, because 351 always has some weird things happening, and some naughty students will do these things. But this is actually true. Three students have disappeared. At first, we thought they had asked for leave or were sick, but we didn't expect that they were missing, and their families are all in the office."
"Then what do you mean by bringing me here?"
"We found a girl, and the words that appeared in her book today asked her to come to this basement."
"Where's that girl?"
"In the office."
We went to the office and I asked the girl.
"Did you see the words?"
"Yes, a very short time, about half a minute! Go to the basement. Just four words."
The girls were very nervous and scared.
"It's okay, don't be nervous."
There is nothing else to say, so the problem is with the basement.
"Take me to the basement."
The principal took the key, went to the basement, opened the lock on the outside, and pulled the door, but it wouldn't open.
"Yes, it can be opened. Even if it is very heavy, it can be opened."
Four people pulled together, but they couldn't move it at all.
"Are there any other doors?"
"there is none left."
The principal drove the car over, put a wire on it, and tried to pull the handle off, but it didn’t open, so I knew something was wrong.
"The inserts inside?"
"Yes, there is. The plug inside is like a stick and is very big."
I knew it was probably locked from the inside. If those three girls went into the basement, they might have locked the door.
"Find a professional."
The special visitor came, knocked on the door a few times, looked for a while and said.
"You can't open it even with explosives."
There's really no other way, go to the office.
"Find me all the information about those four women."
The information was taken out, and they were all born on June 13th. They were all born on this day. Another thing in common is that they all had long hair and were born on this weird day. So what is in this basement
"What is in here?"
"I don't know. There's no record. Anyway, it's always been pretending to be broken."
"There's only one way. Let the girl go to the basement and I'll follow her in. But I have to talk to her parents about it. I can't guarantee that nothing will happen."
The principal went to talk to the parents, but they didn't agree at all. It seemed like there was nothing they could do but wait; there was no other way.
I was guarding the door to the basement and told everyone else not to come in and to stay in the office.
It was getting dark and I was waiting. I felt that the girl would definitely come, even though she had been taken home by her parents.
In the middle of the night, a person walked over here. It was the girl with long hair. As expected, she walked towards the basement. There was a ramp. I followed her, but she didn't even notice me. I found that she was wooden and seemed to be controlled by something.
After that girl stood there, the door slowly opened. I rushed over, pushed the girl aside, and went in. There was a pile of junk and I didn't see anyone else.
I locked the door for fear that the girl would come in.
The lights inside were on. It was a large basement with two floors. There was a staircase on the east side leading down. I stood there and watched. This century-old basement was a place where evil spirits would gather. But the strangest thing was that I didn't see any ghosts. I couldn't understand why. This place couldn't be so clean.
The broken tables and chairs here were placed in a mess. I saw a few boards and walked over slowly, trying not to make any noise.
The board was surprisingly well preserved. I picked up a piece and it was definitely a coffin made of old ship wood. It was a coffin board that had been disassembled, and there were coffin nails on it. I started sweating. Old ship wood is basically decades or even hundreds of years old. This should be an old coffin. How could there be such a thing here
This was really strange. Just as I was pondering it, I heard some sounds coming from the next floor, like whispering or someone walking around.
I leaned against the wall and listened. I wanted to understand before making a decision.
The sound was intermittent. I had been standing there for an hour but still couldn't figure out what the sound was.
I slowly moved towards the stairs, I wanted to go down and take a look.
As I turned to the stairs, I was stunned. (To be continued)
