Under Lin Jue's "gentle" suggestion, Li Jinjiang called a colleague who had worked in the school for more than ten years and asked about the situation at the beginning of the school's construction.
I don't know what the colleague said on the phone, Li Jinjiang's expression became more and more ugly, and finally the hand holding the phone was shaking slightly, and finally he said goodbye in a hoarse voice.
"What did you ask?" A few of them were sitting in the teahouse next to the hotel. Lin Jue picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip of warm tea, and asked.
"He said that when the school was expanded, something was dug up." Li Jinjiang said, "It seems to be a few coffins, but part of the area was originally a mass grave, so the people who built it didn't care. Continue to work."
"Just a coffin?" Lin Jue seemed unsatisfied with the answer, "There are many schools built on mass graves. When I was in college, the bluestone stairs on the side of the playground were made of tombstones. Woolen cloth."
Li Jinjiang hesitated for a moment: "But although he only said this, I feel that he is hiding something..."
Lin Jue's eyes lit up.
Li Jinjiang was obviously already afraid of Lin Jue. Seeing her expression, he quickly explained, saying that he was just feeling, not sure. If the colleague is indeed telling the truth, don't blame him...
Lin Jue said, "Well, I don't blame you."
Li Jinjiang: "..." Why is he so unbelievable
"Zhu Shui, what do you think?" Seeing that he couldn't get more information from Li Jinjiang, Lin Jue turned to look at Lin Zhushui.
Lin Zhushui said, "Go ask someone who knows."
Lin Jue said, "It makes sense."
The two of them just said a few words, and they didn't know what strange consensus they had reached. Zhou Jiayu and the others didn't dare to say a word, but saw Lin Jue happily go to pay the bill, as if he was going to do something big.
Lin Zhushui turned to face them and said, "You stay in the hotel and wait for Lin Jue and I to come back - don't run around, I'm really scared, you can go to my room and wait."
Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong both nodded obediently.
"Let's go." Lin Jue said, "Yo, don't you bring cans and black boys?"
Lin Zhushui said, "No."
Cans and Black Boys? Zhou Jiayu was used to hearing this nickname, Shen Yiqiong's eyes widened, but he didn't dare to refute, and watched Lin Jue leave in despair.
"Hei Zai? Who is Hei Zai?" Shen Yiqiong was mad.
Zhou Jiayu said, "Let's go, you are told to change into a light-colored down jacket."
Shen Yiqiong: "..."
Li Jinjiang was dragged away by Lin Jue and Lin Zhushui, but he didn't know who they were looking for and what they were going to do. But from their chatting content, I can vaguely feel that what they are doing is definitely not the kind that can be said openly... As for why they didn't take the two of them, Zhou Jiayu comforted himself that they did not want them to see The dark side of society.
After returning to the hotel, Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong did not dare to go to their room, but huddled in Lin Zhushui's room.
"Actually, if I didn't open the door last night, nothing would have happened." Shen Yiqiong said, "Some things can't come into the house casually. From outside the house to the inside, you need the owner's permission. He can only come in if you agree."
Zhou Jiayu remembered that the thing disguised as Li Jinjiang last night had indeed repeatedly asked if he could come in before entering the door.
Shen Yiqiong said, "We must be careful when we open the door in the future."
Zhou Jiayu nodded.
They were chatting when there was a very untimely knock on the door, and the two became silent for a moment, and they both saw the smell of panic in each other's eyes.
"I drove it last time, this time it's your turn." Zhou Jiayu was ruthless.
"Open the door!!" Lin Jue's voice came from outside.
Shen Yiqiong said, "They just left, they can't come back so soon!! We can't open this door!"
Zhou Jiayu thinks it makes sense.
As a result, after waiting for a while, Lin Zhushui's voice also came over: "Zhou Jiayu, Shen Yiqiong, what are you two doing inside?"
As soon as the voice came out, Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong were shaken, and Shen Yiqiong said, "Okay, it seems that he is really back, let's go and have a look?"
Zhou Jiayu agreed.
So the two cowards walked to the door, first carefully put the chain on the door, and then slowly held the handle and pressed it down, leaving a gap in the door.
There were two people standing outside the door, the frowning Lin Jue and the expressionless Lin Zhushui. When they saw Shen Yiqiong and Zhou Jiayu opening the door, their expressions were not very pleasant, especially Lin Jue, who said bluntly, "You two. What? Why don't you let us in?"
Shen Yiqiong was about to speak, but Zhou Jiayu covered his mouth and closed the door with a bang.
Shen Yiqiong was a little confused by Zhou Jiayu's actions, and said, "What, what's wrong, Can'er, why are you reacting like this?"
Zhou Jiayu swallowed: "Did you notice that their standing posture is a bit strange?"
Shen Yiqiong's expression froze.
The posture of the two people standing outside the door was indeed a bit strange. They were facing Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong with their hands behind their backs. At first glance, there was no problem, but thinking about it carefully, Lin Zhushui was never helpful. Stand in this pose.
"I seem to see a blade on their back." Zhou Jiayu said, "So I think...they are holding something in the hand behind their back?"
Shen Yiqiong was silent, he didn't speak, took out his mobile phone, and silently dialed Lin Jue's number.
The phone was quickly connected, and Lin Jue's lazy voice came: "What's the matter? Hei Zai?"
Shen Yiqiong said, "Senior uncle... have you guys come back?"
Lin Jue said, "Come back? No, your master and I are still at the principal's house, and we can come back later." She paused for a moment, "Isn't there something else imitating us to trouble you?"
Shen Yiqiong said, "Yes..."
Lin Jue giggled when she heard the words: "Don't be afraid, just stay in your husband's house, they can't get in, I have something to do here, hang up first." The phone beeped and hung up. .
Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong looked at each other.
The things outside the door stopped calling the door, and began to smash heavily. Zhou Jiayu could clearly hear the sound of sharp objects being slashed on the door. Obviously, he just saw two things outside the door holding knives, and he was not overwhelmed.
"Open the door—open the door—" The voice calling for the door became distorted from the gentleness at the beginning, and the prototype of Lin Jue and Lin Zhushui's voices could no longer be heard from behind. They banged on the door, making Zhou Jiayu wonder if the thin door could stop them.
Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong were still a little scared at first, but after ten minutes they became numb. Shen Yiqiong was a little worried and said what to do if people in the hotel saw this situation. Can they choose off-site rescue and call the police
Zhou Jiayu was also annoyed by them, and shouted to the outside: "Don't open, get out!"
Outside the door: "… "
"If you don't open it, I won't open it, sir, you haven't come back!" Shen Yiqiong sang in the obedient tune of a little rabbit.
It was quiet outside the door. Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong both breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this thing was gone. Who knew that after a while, the closed floor-to-ceiling windows behind them began to thump, as if someone was beating heavily.
Lin Zhushui's room was on the 16th floor of the hotel, and there seemed to be nothing but dirty things that could knock on the window.
Shen Yiqiong said very meanly: "Oh, we ran to the window, so can we slip through the door?"
The sound outside the window stopped for a moment, and three seconds later, their door and window began to sound together.
Two people: "..." convinced.
Zhou Jiayu glared at Shen Yiqiong, and Shen Yiqiong said with a guilty conscience, "I didn't expect him to understand."
Alas, forget it, these things can't get in anyway, so it's treated as if it's being constructed outside. Zhou Jiayu comforted himself so much, he turned out a new stack of playing cards on the bedside table, and started playing cards with Shen Yiqiong and the two of them. play.
The TV in the house was broadcasting the news, and the bedroom was full of conversations like: Yes, three, I'm sorry, and so on. For a while the atmosphere in the house was a little warm - if the knocks on doors and windows were completely ignored.
The two played cards all afternoon, took a sweet nap, and when they woke up, the dirt outside was silent.
Shen Yiqiong lay on the sofa and said in a daze, "Have they finished work and went home?"
Zhou Jiayu said, "otherwise?"
Shen Yiqiong was a little out of his mind, and said, "This industry doesn't seem to be easy to do. It seems like asking for a life and asking for a salary from a migrant worker."
Zhou Jiayu thought to himself that we are unscrupulous contractors who owe the wages of migrant workers, but with this analogy, the atmosphere of terror disappeared instantly by 60%.
Of course, it turns out that things that ask for life are not so easy to go. Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong called Lin Jue before they left the room, only to be sure that they came back and chased away the things guarding the door.
Lin Jue asked them to go to the restaurant next to them for dinner on the phone.
When Zhou Jiayu and Shen Yiqiong arrived, Lin Jue had already ordered the dishes, and Li Jinjiang sat beside her in despair, looking like he had been played badly. Only Lin Zhushui's expression remained the same.
Before Zhou Jiayu and the others asked any questions, Lin Jue took out a stack of photos from the bag she was carrying and threw it in front of them: "Look at it for yourself."
Zhou Jiayu took over the dozen or so photos and looked at them one by one with Shen Yiqiong.
The photos are divided into two parts, one is the construction site, and the other is portraits. There are seven portraits in total, six of which are young students and one is an adult woman in her twenties. You don't have to guess to know that this must be a picture of the victim.
Zhou Jiayu looked at the photos of the construction site again. Although the photos looked a few years old, he still recognized that they should have been taken during the construction of the school. And one of them is particularly eye-catching. It is a neatly arranged mahogany coffin. Because the soil layer above was dug up, it was exposed like this.
Zhou Jiayu picked up the photo, studied it carefully, and said in surprise, "Is there something under this coffin?"
Lin Jue took a bite of the beans in front of her and nodded.
"Is it a slate?" Shen Yiqiong brought his head together and looked at it together with Zhou Jiayu, "But why is the slate so big..."
"It's not a slate." Lin Zhushui said lightly, "It's another coffin."
Zhou Jiayu was stunned.
The photos are not clear, but if you look closely, you can still see that the seven coffins are neatly placed on the huge stone slab. If according to what Lin Zhushui said, this slate is a coffin, how big must this coffin be
"The contents have been dug up." Lin Jue held her chin and said unhappily, "It's kept in the school."
Zhou Jiayu said: "But this is the beginning of the school, right? Didn't this school say that it has been established for more than 80 years?"
"Yes." Lin Jue said, "But digging out the coffin was not the beginning of the school's establishment." She took out another map, drew it briefly, and explained patiently, "The school was not of the same size at first. It’s not big. Later, I bought some residential buildings next to it for expansion. The time when the coffin was dug up was about ten years ago, when the school expanded its enrollment and added a lot of high school students.”
Zhou Jiayu said, "How come nothing has happened for more than ten years..."
Lin Jue smiled: "Because this is a man-made disaster, not a natural disaster." She pointed at the pictures of the victims next to her, "These children were all killed by humans."
Zhou Jiayu felt uncomfortable when he heard this. In the photos, there were all girls of the same age as teenage flowers, but they lost their lives tragically because of this incident.
Lin Jue said: "I found the video of all of them when they died. Now it's fine anyway. Let's watch it together after dinner. Maybe we can find some clues in it."
Li Jinjiang was scared to death when he heard that he wanted to watch the video, but Zhou Jiayu was surprised that this time he didn't ask to watch it.
During the meal, Zhou Jiayu learned from Lin Jue's words that they actually went to the principal's house in the afternoon. As for what he did, Lin Jue didn't elaborate, but he could vaguely guess from Li Jinjiang's extremely painful expression.
Lin Zhushui was not in a high mood, as usual, he didn't move his chopsticks at all.
Lin Jue said casually, "Tan'er, after you finish your meal, cook some egg fried rice for Zhushui. With his picky temper, he won't say a word if he's hungry."
Lin Zhushui frowned slightly and was about to say something.
Lin Jue made a silent gesture: "I know what you're going to say—you don't hurt yourself, you can't stop others from hurting you." She threw a meaningful message at Zhou Jiayu. eyes.
Zhou Jiayu was taken aback by Lin Jue's eyes, and almost reflexively thought that his thoughts that should not have been exposed were exposed.
Fortunately, Shen Yiqiong, whose nerves are thicker than rice noodles, helped Zhou Jiayu, and nodded seriously: "Yes, sir, we are all worried about you, if the noodles I made were too unpalatable, I would also I'd love to cook for you every day."
Zhou Jiayu breathed a sigh of relief and responded beside him.
Lin Zhushui heard the words and said, "Okay."
Lin Jue sighed, not knowing what he was sighing.
After Zhou Jiayu finished eating, he went to borrow the kitchen to fry an egg fried rice for Lin Zhushui. He was afraid that Lin Zhushui was not nutritionally balanced, so he added vegetables and carrot particles to it.
As a result, when Lin Zhushui started to eat, Zhou Jiayu was stunned as he watched Lin Zhushui pick out all the carrot particles.
It stands to reason that such behavior as picky eaters should not be good-looking, but Lin Zhushui is actually very picky and elegant. If Zhou Jiayu didn't see the orange-yellow particles on the plate at the end of the meal, he would have thought he was I read it wrong.
Shen Yiqiong's expression was similar to Zhou Jiayu's, with an expression like what did I see. However, Lin Jue was not surprised at all, and said with a smile, "Can, I'll tell you secretly, the two vegetables your husband doesn't like to eat are carrots and fungus, but he doesn't really pick meat..."
Zhou Jiayu suddenly said: "Oh oh oh."
Lin Zhushui was found to be a picky eater, but his expression did not change at all. He calmly and even indifferently solved the fried rice, raised his hand and wiped his mouth with a tissue, and said lightly, "Let's go."
A few people just went out.
There are six video clips that Lin Jue obtained, including the original video of the teacher jumping off the building. However, the school environment at that time was relatively poor, and the quality of the video was not very good, and it looked a little blurry. All I could see was that the teacher seemed to be arguing with someone, then turned around and jumped down towards the window, never getting up again.
Compared with teachers, the way students die is far more bizarre. Taking the recent deaths as an example, from the video alone, it can be seen that it is not a natural death.
The person who had the compass inserted into his eye was a senior in high school. It should have been Saturday night. There was no compulsory self-study in the school, and there were only a few scattered students in the classroom.
The clock pointed to ten o'clock in the evening, and before she knew it, she was the only one left in the classroom.
Zhou Jiayu clearly saw that the compass in front of the student slowly stood up in an abnormal posture. The student looked surprised when she saw this. She didn't seem to understand what was going on. She looked down at the compass on the table and even wanted to reach out to hold it, but at this moment, her head was caught by a The invisible hand pushed hard.
The huge thrust made the student's whole head slammed forward, and then the compass was inserted heavily through her eyes, blood gushed out, and her body kept twitching and struggling, but she soon lost her breath.
"Wait..." Shen Yiqiong said suddenly, "Why does this person's face look familiar?"
Lin Jue said, "Familiar?"
Shen Yiqiong nodded, a little confused: "It seems like I've seen it before, where is it..." He thought hard, and suddenly slapped Zhou Jiayu with a flash of inspiration, "Tan, this girl's face, Does it look similar to the face of the ghost who caught me that day??"
Zhou Jiayu heard the words, looked carefully, and then smiled bitterly: "I didn't see it very clearly at the time, but from the outline, it does look a bit like."
"I'm sure it's that face." Shen Yiqiong looked serious and serious after researching, "Didn't she grab my foot at the time? I can see it clearly... There seems to be an identical tear in the corner of the female ghost's eye. Mole." He paused a little embarrassedly, and his voice became quieter, "I was still thinking quietly at that time, if there was no blood on her face, that female ghost would still be pretty..."
other people:"… "
Zhou Jiayu secretly thought in his heart how much Shen Yiqiong was suppressed in adolescence.
After listening to Shen Yiqiong's words, Lin Jue was noncommittal. Instead, she clicked on the remaining videos and said, "Keep watching, there are a few more videos. Maybe after watching it, what patterns can be found."
She said that, but it seemed that she had already made up her mind about something.
No matter which part of these videos is released, it has to cause huge panic. Because the way the people in the video die, all of them are not natural deaths, but an invisible hand that created all this.
Zhou Jiayu also found clues in another video. The reason for the student's death was very strange. Her seat was by the window, and she was strangled directly by the curtain.
When the video was broadcast, Zhou Jiayu noticed a shadow outside the window, and he said, "Pause, there seems to be something here."
Lin Jue pressed the pause button.
As expected, there was something in the place that Zhou Jiayu was pointing at. It was a person floating in mid-air. It flashed by in the video, and after being suspended, everyone could see what this person looked like.
Zhou Jiayu initially thought that the shadow was the teacher they saw that night who jumped off the building and died, but when the scene paused for them to observe carefully, they realized that this person was not a teacher at all, but a student in school uniform. Her face was covered in blood, but there was a faint hint of what she was wearing—this was the last girl who died of Compass.
"It's so strange." Zhou Jiayu was a little surprised after seeing her, "Is there more than one dirty thing in the school?"
"There must be more than one." Shen Yiqiong said, "Why does one knock on the door and the window?"
Zhou Jiayu: "..." It actually makes sense.
"So it's possible that the teacher killed people, and the killed people turned into ghosts and continued to kill people?" Zhou Jiayu expressed his speculation, "It goes on and on..."
"Smart." Lin Jue smiled, she pulled the video back and let everyone watch it again, but this time, she made a very important point: "Actually, of the six people who died, one was ignored. The most important rule is that they all know each other."
Lin Jue said: "The first dead person knows the second one, the second one knows the third one, the third one knows the fourth one—"
Zhou Jiayu heard goosebumps on his arm.
Lin Jue smiled: "And the last one who died must have a good relationship with the next one. In this way, a few people form a cycle. At this time, as long as this loop is closed, everything should be over."
Zhou Jiayu said, "Ring?"
"The number seven is very special." Lin Zhushui, who had been silent for a while, said lightly, "It took Nuwa seven days to create a human being, and seventy new things are made every day. This number also implies new life. Jiayu."
Zhou Jiayu was called by his name and quickly responded.
Lin Zhushui said, "According to our guess, the last deceased should know the first deceased."
Zhou Jiayu was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Know the first dead person? What does she have to do with that teacher?"
Lin Jue heard the words, but sighed lightly: "They have the same surname. After our investigation, we found that the last student who died was related to the first teacher who died... This cycle has been completed, and I was still there before. Think, why isn't this thing turned on." She shifted her gaze to Zhou Jiayu and said softly, "After thinking about it carefully now, I think they are still missing the last thing - the blood of the most yin people."
At this moment, Zhou Jiayu deeply felt that his physique was like a Tang monk in the field of Feng Shui - everyone wanted to take a bite.
The author has something to say: Lin Zhushui: I don't like carrots.
Zhou Jiayu: What do you like to eat
Lin Zhushui: Fish.
Zhou Jiayu: (///ω/// )
