However, Mingzhu had been waiting for a reply from the owner of the mysterious forum. At first, she felt that she might have been deceived, but judging from the enthusiastic reactions of the students around her, that forum was indeed very unusual.
The impression of her classmates was completely opposite to the aloof and arrogant Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng knew of her. Originally, everyone thought that she would be difficult to approach because of her outstanding appearance and being born and raised abroad. However, from the first moment she Judging from the self-introduction to the class after Tianzhuan, she is a cheerful and friendly girl. Although the fact is that this was completely intentional on her part.
Seeing other people discussing the forum in small groups, she also planned to join in to inquire about the situation. It happened that a girl named Zhang Xiaotian and another girl named Feng Jiao who had a good relationship with her at the next table were also discussing the same topic. topic.
She took the opportunity to ask: "Have you logged in too? I mean that forum."
Zhang Xiaotian shook his head and replied: "No, but Feng Jiao logged in yesterday."
"Do you know? The forum leader told me that as long as I tell her the name of the person I want to curse, she can help me realize it." Feng Jiao's expression was a little nervous when she spoke, and it could even be said that there was a hint of fear.
"Curse?!" Ran Mingzhu asked her in surprise.
"Yeah, how do you think he knew I wanted to curse..." Feng Jiao said that she suddenly realized that she shouldn't continue talking, so she pursed her lips tightly and glanced at Zhang Xiaotian.
"It's okay, Mingzhu doesn't know that person either." Zhang Xiaotian comforted Feng Jiao first, and then continued her topic, "She hired a tutor before, during the winter vacation. He was the son of her parents' friend, a famous brand A college student at the university, it turns out that man is a gangster, always taking advantage of Jiaojiao."
"Why didn't she tell her parents?!" However, Mingzhu's first reaction was that she should discuss this matter with her parents immediately instead of using an unreliable forum to curse.
"The man's father is the leader of Jiaojiao's father. If it was publicized, she was afraid that her father would be in trouble, so she kept enduring it. As a result, the man felt that Jiaojiao was easy to bully, and he even got worse." Zhang Xiaotian was indignant. To put it bluntly.
"What?" Ran Mingzhu asked again.
"He's been sending her messages lately, saying that he's going to do something with her when he comes back from summer vacation. They're all dirty words. Jiaojiao has been given a nervous breakdown by her." When Zhang Xiaotian said this, his eyes almost burst into flames. .
"So... that forum leader took the initiative to find you? And then he asked you if you wanted to curse this person?" Although Mingzhu also sympathized with Feng Jiao's experience, but now she was most concerned about the following issues.
"Hmm... He took the initiative to ask me if there was someone I wanted to curse, and told me that all I had to do was tell him the name of that person." Feng Jiao responded earnestly.
"What did you say?"
"I asked her what would happen if she cursed that person? She told me that it depends on what price I am willing to pay." Feng Jiao's voice was choked with sobs.
"You didn't promise him, did you?!" Ran Mingzhu felt that this matter was no small matter, so she asked.
Feng Jiao suddenly fell into silence. She stopped talking and stared directly at her tightly twisted fingers.
"Don't think too much. Maybe that altar leader is just being alarmist. Even if something happens to Huo Yan, he deserves it. Don't take it to heart!" Zhang Xiaotian was only angry that his friend had suffered such a great injustice. But the other party was not punished, so even if he just vented his anger, it would be fine.
"Did you agree to pay any price? And what can that curse do to the man named Huo Yan?" However, Mingzhu knows the curse better than the other two, I'm afraid, this kind of thing is real. If it doesn't go well, Both the curser and the cursed are irreparably harmed.
"I just asked him not to pester me. He said he would find a way to realize my wish, but he didn't say how much it would cost."
However, Mingzhu knew that this matter was not trivial. It would be fine if the forum owner was just a simple liar, but if not, then Feng Jiao might also be in danger. She had to quickly launch an investigation. The first step was to get accurate information from other students. How many people had logged into this forum and relied on him to solve their problems.
But it would be difficult for her alone to master enough information in a short period of time. When it came to the safety of others, she had no choice but to put aside her previous selfishness and seek help from Ouyang Xiaoleng and Xia Qiu.
Before the last class started, she came outside the classroom of Grade 1 (1), called a student standing at the door to help call Xia Qiu out, and whispered to her: "After school, I have something to talk to you about." Ouyang Xiaoleng said, "Let's meet at the school gate!"
"Okay!" Xia Qiu said listlessly.
She didn't seem to be in a good mood, or she was different from her usual self. The smile that always hung on her lips and the light in her eyes disappeared for some unknown reason.
"What? Did you quarrel with Ouyang Xiaoleng?" Ran Mingzhu couldn't help but ask.
"No!"
Xia Qiu sighed deeply after speaking, which made Ran Mingzhu feel that it was meaningful.
After school, the three of them gathered at the school gate. Seeing that the other two were silent, Ran Mingzhu asked, "Where are we going?"
"What do you want to say?! I have other things to do!" Ouyang Xiaoleng had a nonchalant attitude.
"How much do you know about what everyone is talking about about him?" Ran Mingzhu couldn't bear Ouyang Xiaoleng's ice-like face, but for the time being she could only suppress her dissatisfaction with him and said, "I'm landing. .”
Hearing Ran Mingzhu say this, Ouyang Xiaoleng cheered up and asked: "You?! What do you want to ask?! About your father Ran Tianyou?!"
"Let's find a place to talk. It's too conspicuous to stand in front of the school." Ran Mingzhu suggested.
"How about taking her to Ouyang's ancient house?" Xia Qiu asked Ouyang Xiaoleng.
After thinking for a few seconds, he nodded.
Ran Mingzhu followed Ouyang Xiaoleng and Xia Qiu. She had seen the scenery of Ouyang's ancient house before, although it was only in photos. Her mother once told her that it was her aunt's home. The ancient Ouyang house in the photo is like a fairyland, with antique pavilions and pavilions, unprecedented exotic flowers and plants, and the man in white standing side by side with his aunt in the photo, all with a breathtaking aura. beautiful. Only then did she realize that Ouyang Xiaoleng and the man were actually very imaginary.
They entered the barrier through the narrow gap between the buildings and came to the gate of Ouyang's ancient house. The moment she pushed the door open and entered, she was still stunned by the scenery in front of her. Compared with the old photos, this place is much more beautiful. It should be said that in addition to the richer colors, it is also assisted by smell, hearing and touch. Waves of unique floral fragrance accompanied by the chirping of birds rushed towards her face, as if she was suddenly transported to spring, and more than half of the big house hidden behind the lush plants was connected to the pond. Its reflection in the water From time to time, it is shaken by goldfish, setting off the mist, like a dream.
Although Mingzhu's feet were still moving forward, her whole heart was completely attracted to this courtyard. Although it was Xia Qiu who suggested bringing her to this place, she still didn't expect Ouyang Xiaoleng to agree. After all, from the moment she entered From that moment she felt the existence of the huge barrier that shrouded it. Without their guidance, she would never have been able to set foot in this area.
Ouyang Xiaoleng opened the door and was met by Min Endong. He saw the unfamiliar faces behind Ouyang Xiaoleng and Xia Qiu at a glance, so he asked, "Who is she?"
"Oh, a classmate of mine." Ouyang Xiaoleng answered roughly, and then asked, "By the way, how about asking you to investigate that forum?"
"I just went in, look!" Min Endong showed the tablet in his hand to Ouyang Xiaoleng and Xia Qiu.
Ran Mingzhu finally came to her senses when she heard the word "forum". She leaned behind them and looked at the tablet held by Min Entong, and then exclaimed: "Yes, that's it!"
"Have you ever logged in before?" Min Endong raised his head and asked.
"Yeah, I'm going to tell them about this forum today. Do you know? This forum can also help people curse?!" Ran Mingzhu asked excitedly.
"Why are they all blocked at the door?" A voice sounded behind them.
"Teacher Dong...?!" Ran Mingzhu turned around and saw Ouyang Xiaoleng and Dong Muya, the head teacher of the Xia and Qiu class. She was a little overwhelmed for a moment, because Dong Muya was also the Chinese teacher of their class.
"I forgot to mention, she is also the manager of the underground database of this ancient house!" Ouyang Xiaoleng briefly introduced.
"I'll explain the rest later. Come to the living room with me first!" Dong Muya said and walked towards the living room first.
After they sat down in the living room, she continued: "Many people in the school are talking about a forum today."
"We are also here for this matter. I don't know what method the forum owner used to predict the problems of the logging in and help them solve it." Ouyang Xiaoleng continued.
"It's not just that simple. A girl in our class said that the forum owner can also help users curse the people they hate." Ran Mingzhu felt that classmate Feng Jiao's matter was more urgent.
"Has he ever mentioned the price that needs to be paid?!" Dong Muya felt more and more the seriousness of the situation.
"No, he said he will appear again when he needs it. What I'm worried about now is that he won't really be able to use the spell, right?! Once that kind of evil thing is activated, it will also cause harm to the person who cast the curse. "However, Mingzhu expressed her worries.
"You all stop for a moment!" Min Endong suddenly stood up from the sofa. In order to attract enough attention from others, he walked up to them and said, "Do you think this forum leader is really a person with great powers? Can he predict the future? What about the students in your school? Are you too naive?! Why would he selectively allow people to log in? Because he has selected targets in advance and tracked their various behaviors on the Internet."
"For example, the website you logged in to, or the content you searched for?" Dong Muya seemed to suddenly have an enlightenment after hearing this from Min Endong.
"Yes, he can even see the private logs they write in their blogs, so don't rush to label him as a prophet. Judging from the evidence currently available, I can only say that he is an Internet master. , nothing more.”
"Have you met your opponent?" Dong Muya teased with a smile. She could see the feeling of meeting his opponent from Min Endong's expression.
