Although Ji Thrush and the others are being controlled by an unknown force to play a game called "Twenty-Four O'clock", this is not an online game world, and one cannot directly step on a portal or travel a thousand miles.
The contestants must go to where they want to go in a physical way that exists in reality. Of course, it is unrealistic to go to the strange talk locations at the two ends of the city at the same time in one night.
Unless, they split into two groups.
In fact, Ji Thrush and the five of them did consider splitting up, but soon after, they completely dismissed the idea.
Because they searched the Internet and found the urban ghost story where the two playing cards "4" and "A" are located.
Yes, although they cannot leave the villa, they can freely surf the Internet, read books, and watch TV. At nine o'clock in the morning, a newspaper of the day will be thrown into the entrance through the door opening.
So they turned on the computer in the study room, searched with keywords, and quickly found a lot of information.
The "4" poker card is located in the old campus of a prestigious university with a history of one hundred years.
According to legends circulating on the Internet, there is an old-fashioned air-raid shelter in the south of the campus.
In the war years more than 70 years ago, one day the enemy air raided and the alarm was sounded throughout the city, and nearly 300 teachers and students hid in the air-raid shelter.
Unfortunately, the dam on the mountain behind the school was bombed and collapsed. It was the flood season, and the raging water flowed down the mountain and poured into the air-raid shelter. The teachers and students were unable to escape, and almost all drowned in it.
After the tragedy, the school completely sealed off the air defense facility.
But despite this, many students still claimed that when they passed by the air-raid shelter with the door locked at night, they could occasionally hear the screams, pleas for help and crying of many people inside, which was particularly disturbing.
Not only that, Ji Thrush and the others also searched for an unknown rumor, saying that in the liberal arts college of the university, every year, a student will disappear mysteriously—it is the real kind of people who can't see people when they are alive, and they can't see dead bodies when they are dead. I can't get my hair back.
However, as long as you wait for ten days and a half months, and then send someone into the abandoned air-raid shelter, you can find one or two leftovers of the missing person in the depths of the air-raid shelter, such as a shoe or a piece of clothing. of.
However, what is even more strange is that when the school found these fragments in the air-raid shelter, the gates at the entrance were all closed.
Moreover, the guards swore that they had carefully checked the door before opening it, and the door lock was covered with dust. It must have been untouched for at least a year or so to have such a thick accumulation of dust.
The air-raid shelter has only one entrance and exit, and the entire shell is a dense reinforced concrete structure. Unless the missing person can turn into a piece of paper and squeeze in from under the crack of the door, it is impossible for the missing person to escape without unlocking the door. Enter.
Later, there was a popular saying in the school that when the tragedy happened, the president of the student union of the Academy of Arts suggested and organized everyone to seek refuge in the air-raid shelter. Later, when the water poured into the air-raid shelter, he stepped on other students and miraculously escaped. out.
So the students who disappeared later were all resentful because of the tragic death. They wanted to find the president of the student union who escaped back then, and let him go to hell with him!
As this urban strange talk became more and more mysterious, the university felt that it would affect its reputation, and had to try to take measures, such as preparing to dismantle the air-raid shelter to prevent future troubles.
But for some reason, this "preparation" has been "preparation" for more than ten years.
At that time, the deputy dean who made the decision to demolish had a heart attack, and the replaced principals also came and went for various reasons. In short, the abandoned civil air defense work is still in the school until now. , and there are still students missing every year...
…
After Ji Thrush and the others read the rumors on the Internet, they were all silent.
There is only one thought in everyone's mind:
—This is too fierce!
— How could a dungeon map of this difficulty be broken through within an hour or two!
"This... After all, it's just an urban legend. There must be some exaggeration. This is just a rare B-level 'world'. It's impossible for us to face three hundred drowned ghosts, right?"
Mo Tiangen swallowed his saliva, and forced a wave of optimism:
"In short, let's take a look at the situation on 'A'!"
The location of "A"'s ghost story is a hospital that has been abandoned for many years, named "Tzu Chi Hospital".
When he found the photos of the hospital, Ji Xiaoniao was full of complaints.
The city they are in now is obviously set at 50,000 to 60,000 square meters in a prime location, how can an old abandoned hospital occupy the space there, and it will not be demolished for a whole ten years!
—It’s really for the sake of haunting, even the basic law is not taught!
However, no matter how many and unreasonable this setting is, they still have to face it.
After some searching, they found that the legends about this abandoned hospital that they could find on the Internet were not as detailed and specific as the university air-raid shelters, but more like the product of people's opinions and embellishments.
There is a supernatural forum dedicated to collecting urban legends, and they made a post about the supernatural events of Tzu Chi Hospital.
Ji Thrush and the others looked through it, and found that most of the strange stories about the abandoned hospital could be divided into two types.
The first is that there are rumors that in the Tzu Chi Hospital, people often saw things that "shouldn't" exist, such as a stranger standing outside the window on the fourth floor, or a white-clothed man standing in the corridor late at night. The wandering shadows are similar to most hospital ghost stories.
The other is more mysterious. It is said that for a period of time, all kinds of unimaginable accidents often occurred in the hospital, such as leakage of light therapy equipment, collapse of the ceiling, and even some people suddenly fell from the building for no reason.
These accidents all happened by coincidence, and almost all of them were dead. In the end, the cause could not be found, and the hospital could only be blamed for poor management.
But it happened frequently, and there were rumors in the hospital that it was not a simple accident, but something dirty, and some people broke the news, claiming that the victims who died of accidents became nervous before the accident Xixi, telling the people around me that there is a man who wants to kill him...
"Look, this..."
Fan Luming found a blog that hadn't been updated for many years. In the owner's profile, he stated that he was a doctor in the imaging department, and mentioned the name of Tzu Chi Hospital many times. It seems that the blogger should have worked there.
"This blog is very interesting."
The younger brother of the Fan family put the page in a full-screen state so that others can see the content clearly.
Mo Tiangen, Fan Hemian and Ren Jianmo approached.
At this time, Ji Thrush was inserting his fingers into the plug-in board to charge himself. His whole body was in a state of fried hair, and from time to time there would be crackling sparks and lightning all over his body. He really couldn't get too close, so he could only stretch his head. With his superb eyesight, he took a look through the cracks in the human wall.
That blog post was not long, and it was about a strange incident that the blogger encountered while working at Tzu Chi Hospital.
One day, the doctor was working the night shift. At three o'clock in the morning, he suddenly received a call from the emergency department, asking him to do a bedside examination.
So the doctor hurried to the emergency department on the first floor.
He pushed the instrument into the elevator, then pressed the door close button of the elevator, and watched the elevator door slowly close.
However, just when the two doors were about to close completely, and there was only a fist distance left in the middle, the door seemed to hit something suddenly, and the plastic pad in the center rebounded suddenly, and then suddenly reopened.
Seeing this scene, the poor doctor was so frightened that his whole body became stiff and his mind went blank. Before he had time to think about anything, he pushed the machine and rushed out of the elevator.
[Oh, I was scared to death!]
The blogger wrote, [I never thought that this time I would actually meet a transparent person!]
He added a little tail at the end:
[Then I heard that another person died in the emergency room the next day!]
[Among the two fighting young men sent here, one of his forehead was scratched by glass shards, but after getting stitches, that man somehow drowned himself in the washbasin of the bathroom!]
[What the hell, the precipice is haunted!]
In the end, Ji Thrush and the others thought about it, and felt that compared to the more than 300 ghosts who drowned in the underground air-raid shelter, the transparent people in the abandoned hospital might be a little bit easier to deal with.
So they decided to go to the former site of Chengbei Hospital, trying to decipher the strange story with the "A" on the card.
"Shall we drive there by ourselves tonight?"
During dinner, Mo Tiangen suggested.
Except for Ji Xiaoniao, who just came of age, the other four all have driver's licenses.
The "world" they live in now is very similar to the world they used to live in, whether it is the environment or the level of technology. Fast and safe way too.
The other four also thought it was a good idea.
Fan Luming cooked their dinner.
Although he is a boy, he is very skilled in cooking.
He used the dishes in the refrigerator to make a grilled fish and vegetable soup, and Ji Thrush ate it in his mouth, thinking that the younger brother of the Fan family could marry just because of the taste.
The five of them spent all their time collecting clues and studying maps during the day. They just ate a few biscuits for lunch. Now they are so hungry that their chests stick to their backs, and they think they can eat a whole cow .
In addition, the food was really delicious. At the end of the meal, everyone didn't even spare the grilled fish sauce, and poured it over the rice, eating another half bowl of rice like this.
"It's still early until twelve o'clock, and everyone will go to sleep for a while later, so it's good to refresh your spirit."
After eating, Fan Hemian looked at the time and suggested to his companions.
However, Ji Thrush, Mo Tiangen, and her younger brother just looked at each other, then shook their heads with a wry smile.
Although they all know that they will stay up all night tonight, and it is necessary to recharge their batteries, but now they only need to think that they will break into an abandoned hospital in a few hours and face a monster who doesn't know what it is —Really, who can sleep here!
The author has something to say:
In fact, the urban legends on the Internet contain clues to solve the incident!
