In the dark old warehouse, the smell of dust gradually became less pungent. On the screen of the mobile phone held by Liu Lingmei, the place where the signal strength should be displayed has been converted to a no-service state.
The sound of painful gasps and the sound of banging on the door were intertwined, appearing at the feet of her and Xia Qiu.
"Xiao Qiu!" Liu Lingmei said, holding Xia Qiu's arm tightly with her hands that were cold due to fear.
By the light of the mobile phone, Xia Qiu saw the figure huddled at their feet. It was a girl about the same age as she and Liu Lingmei. Her eyes were bulging out, her face and body were distorted by suffocation, and she looked like she was having an asthma attack.
Xia Qiu and Liu Lingmei both wanted to help her. They tried to shout for help outside the door, but got no response. They also tried to check on the girl, but they couldn't touch her at all.
At this moment, they were a bit like entering a state of soul separation. To be precise, they were just bystanders of what happened in this time and space. They could only watch helplessly as the girl's body gradually twisted together due to pain, and finally died. Liu Lingmei lay in Xia Qiu's arms, crying hoarsely. Xia Qiu also felt a heavy sadness settling in her chest, making her breathing become heavier and heavier.
The door of the old warehouse was opened at this time, and their eyes, which were accustomed to darkness, were stung by the sudden light. What they couldn't imagine was that what was outside the door was not a power distribution room, but a narrow corridor.
This corridor looks like it belongs to an old-fashioned dormitory building from the 1970s and 1980s. There are old things, vegetables, and even bicycles piled in the narrow corridor. Houses are not far apart on both sides. There was a faint smell of moisture and vegetables in the corridor. The girl who opened the door and walked out in front of them was the girl who was in the old warehouse just now.
The girl was wearing a large, thick woolen coat, which should have been worn by adults. It was loose on her body. Just as she was about to walk along the corridor to the stairs, a door in front of her was suddenly pushed open, and the figure of a girl who was one of her subordinates came out of the door. When she saw her, she closed the door hurriedly, and then quickly walked towards Go forward.
Xia Qiu and Liu Lingmei followed the previous girl outside the building. Looking up, they found that they were behind Yongchuan Hospital. That building should be the old family dormitory of the hospital.
The two girls, one behind the other, led Xia Qiu and Liu Lingmei to the gate of Yongchuan High School. At the school gate, the girl walking behind greeted several classmates, and Xia Qiu and Liu Lingmei heard her name from their mouths, which was probably Liu Xin.
The girl next to me pointed at the back of the girl walking alone in front of me.
"How come Zhao Wen still has the nerve to come to school?"
"Yeah, the murderer's daughter! I don't want to go to class with her!"
"She won't be like her father, it's terrible!"
…
Only Liu Xin remained silent and did not participate in them. She looked at Zhao Wen's back with a trace of sympathy in her eyes. She and Zhao Wen have been neighbors for a long time. Although they are not friends, they would smile at each other every time they met.
During class, Zhao Wen was surrounded by several people in the class in a corner outside the teaching building, including the two girls who had been talking about her behind her back that morning. They said they were afraid of her, but they still did not give up bullying her in order to drive her out of school.
There were some filthy words coming out of the mouths of men and women.
"A mouse's child can dig holes, and a murderer's daughter can certainly kill!"
"Get out of this school quickly! If you are in our class, we will all be unable to hold our heads up!"
"If you dare to come to school again, we will not be polite to you!"
Zhao Wen stood close to the corner with an expressionless face, letting their curses drown her out, but did not resist because she was already used to it. No one would sympathize with her plight. Her father impulsively killed her mother Hongxing because he suspected that she was cheating on her, and his father was sentenced to death.
For a time, her family was ruined, and her relatives and friends kept away from her. No one was willing to take her in, and they were only willing to give her some living expenses every month. Fortunately, the director of the hospital where her parents worked before took pity on her and still allowed her to live in the original dormitory, otherwise she might have ended up living on the streets.
The originally friendly classmates in the school suddenly changed their faces. They vented their fear of her in extreme ways, trampling on her, hurting her, torturing her... In the eyes of them and other people in the world, she became A cancer that should not exist in this world.
It was another class break, and the boy put several small snakes into her pencil case while he was not in his seat. For a weak girl, it would be terrifying to suddenly open a pencil case full of snakes during class.
As class was about to begin, Liu Xin hesitated whether to remind Zhao Wen that if she chose to help Zhao Wen, she would probably be regarded as her companion and be ostracized by everyone. But if she did not help her, she would be punished. A pang of conscience.
While I was still struggling, the class bell rang and the teacher walked in. After class, Liu Xin saw Zhao Wen reaching out to open the pencil case. She could no longer stand by and watch. Instead, she rushed to her side and snatched the pencil case from her hand in front of everyone's surprised eyes.
She ran to the window, mustered up the courage to open the pencil case outside the window, and poured the snake out. With everyone looking at him as if he was a stranger, he returned the pencil case to Zhao Wen and walked back to his seat.
A relieved smile appeared on her face, she finally didn't have to go against her will to cater to other classmates. From that day on, she was equated with Zhao Wen, and she was isolated with her, and even became the target of exclusion and bullying.
In the school, they were the only ones who were friendly to them. Zhao Wen's gratitude to Liu Xin was beyond words. As they got along, they found that they had many things in common. They began to live in their own world, no matter how others criticized them. And hurt, as long as they look at each other, a sunny smile will appear on their faces.
Looking at the two of them, Xia Qiu and Liu Lingmei thought of their friendship. Although it was not as rough as Zhao Wen and Liu Xin, the sincerity and purity were exactly the same.
Until that afternoon, the violent flow of fate pushed them completely into the abyss of tragedy. A girl deliberately made trouble and falsely accused Zhao Wen of stealing her things. Zhao Wen knew in his heart that he would inevitably be beaten, but what did it matter? She was already used to it anyway, and the teacher would just turn a blind eye. Eye.
But what she couldn't bear was the male classmates who took the opportunity to tear off her clothes. They shouted "search" and deliberately touched her body with their hands. She has a pretty face and was very popular among the boys in the class in the past. This may be why the female classmates resent her even more now.
Liu Xin was not there at the beginning because she was participating in calligraphy training. When she arrived, Zhao Wen in the corner of the campus had been beaten all over and was disheveled, but the boys surrounding her were still unwilling to let go.
She rushed forward, pulled away those who were tearing Zhao Wen's hair and clothes, and then shouted to Zhao Wen: "Go back to the classroom!"
Zhao Wen was frightened by the boy's actions and his mind went blank. After hearing Liu Xin's words, he ran away, leaving Zhao Wen surrounded. The boys were obviously angry at her behavior. It was her who ruined their good deeds. They winked at each other and decided to teach her a lesson. They almost dragged and dragged her to the warehouse at the end of the power distribution room. , and then locked her inside.
The equipment in the power distribution room makes a lot of noise, so the walls and doors here have been specially treated and are therefore very soundproof, so even if Liu Xin shouts loudly inside, it can't reach the outside at all.
She originally thought that Zhao Wen would come to her, but after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement outside. The dark space made her feel uneasy. She fumbled for a long time before finding the light switch, only to find that the lights in the warehouse were broken. The air here was not good, and her asthma was about to attack. She banged on the warehouse door hard, but got no response. Anxiety and fear were intertwined, and finally her asthma surged, but the asthma medicine was left in the classroom.
In the suffocated state, a resentful voice sounded in her mind: Why didn't Zhao Wen come? I'm obviously locked up here to save her. Why? I was isolated by everyone because of Zhao Wen, but she eventually betrayed me.
She died in extreme resentment, her soul leaving her body. Looking at himself on the ground, his face turned blue, his lips purple, and twisted into a ball, a strange smile appeared on his face. She wants revenge on those who killed her, especially Zhao Wen who betrayed her.
She turned into a resentful spirit and could not leave the school, so her revenge plan could only be carried out inside the school. Perhaps because of her deep resentment, she is very powerful. She can move objects at will or drag the souls of living people into her world. She has many opportunities to kill those who killed her. Including the girl who started the trouble first, but she always wavered at the last moment.
She always wanted to hear Zhao Wen's explanation, maybe it would not be too late to take revenge after confronting her face to face, but Zhao Wen never appeared in school again. Liu Xin stubbornly believed that she chose to run away because she felt guilty. She became even more angry and powerful as she waited endlessly. If she could see Zhao Wen, she wouldn't even give her a chance to explain. She would kill her directly, or torture her slowly and let her taste the pain she had experienced.
The scene in front of Xia Qiu and Liu Lingmei changed to another perspective. What appeared in front of them was Zhao Wen after escaping that day. With empty eyes, she instinctively ran towards the classroom, but the sounds echoing in the classroom seemed to be endless curses, which made her not want to stay for a moment, so she ran towards the rooftop again.
She stood on the rooftop and saw the boys pulling Liu Xin towards the power distribution room. She knew that the power distribution room was an old warehouse, so she guessed that the boys must be locking her there. She thought that Liu Xin was afraid of the dark. In addition to being claustrophobic, she also had severe asthma. She would probably get sick if she was locked in an old warehouse, so she stumbled out to the rooftop. Unexpectedly, the door to the rooftop was locked from the outside. No matter how she slapped and shouted, no one responded to her.
When she was finally released from the rooftop, Liu Xin had died of an asthma attack in the old warehouse, and she completely collapsed.
In fact, she had thought about leaving with her parents more than once in the past. It would be desolate to stay alone in this world, not to mention having to face so much pain and hurt. But the appearance of Liu Xin gave her the courage to live again, and now that courage has turned into a deeper heartache with her death.
She felt that if it weren't for her, Liu Xin would not have died. How could she have escaped alone without looking back? She hated herself to the point where nothing could be added to it. She will definitely kill more people while she is alive in the world, so it is better to end it here.
She remembered that her mother had suffered from neurasthenia, so she kept a lot of sleeping pills at home, so she took out all of them. She poured the sleeping pill into her hand, then put it into her mouth and swallowed it. Thinking that she could finally be reunited with Liu Xin and her parents, she fell asleep with a smile and never woke up again.
