The bed was empty, there was nothing on it.
The dormitory was quiet and peaceful. The afternoon light shone in. Although it was not so bright due to the rain, it was still the room that Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning were familiar with.
In the entire dormitory, there was no trace of anything else except Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia.
Ji Mingxia looked left and right but couldn't find the ghost. The temperature in the dormitory returned to normal and the cold feeling disappeared.
He was afraid that Yu Ning would misunderstand that he was lying, so he quickly stuck his head out and pointed at his bed and said, "She was hanging there just now!"
Yu Ning walked to Ji Mingxia's bed.
Ji Mingxia got up in a hurry in the morning and went downstairs in a hurry without making his bed.
At this moment, not only was the quilt unmade on the bed, but there were also all kinds of pajamas, underwear, etc. scattered all over the foot of the bed.
Everyone lived in the same dormitory and they were all boys. After living there for a long time, Ji Mingxia gradually became less particular and placed his things casually, as long as they did not disturb others.
He never thought that one day Yu Ning would come to his bedside and take a closer look.
Normally, he would not be surprised to see those clothes, but at this moment, he was staring at the bed and studying it, and it suddenly seemed a bit indecent to see the underwear scattered so randomly.
Ji Mingxia rushed over, grabbed the underwear and was about to stuff it into the closet, emphasizing: "This is clean, clean! I just haven't decided what color to wear, so I took them out and chose..."
Ji Mingxia felt a little embarrassed as he spoke, so he could only bite the bullet and add: "In the end, I chose black, which matches our school pants better. You can consider it next time..."
Pills, the more I talk about it, the more embarrassing it becomes!
When he told this joke to Zhao Zhuoyue and others, everyone was laughing. But when it came to Yu Ning, it became more and more weird.
It must be the original novel’s fault!
Ji Mingxia's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, and he quickly put away his clothes.
Hearing this, Yu Ning controlled himself not to look where he shouldn't be. His expression was a little unnatural, but he was much better at hiding it than Ji Mingxia. At this moment, he looked very calm. Even after Ji Mingxia accidentally moved the bed sheet, Yu Ning quickly stopped him: "Wait."
"Ah, what's wrong?" Ji Mingxia stopped immediately.
Yu Ning pulled the bed sheet over, revealing one side to Ji Mingxia.
There were only a few drops of black, sticky blood on the light grey bed sheet.
The blood had obviously just been stained not long ago and had not yet dried. When you smelled it up close, you could even smell the faint stench of a rotting corpse.
Ji Mingxia sniffed it and almost retched. His already pale face turned even paler: "What is this... Could it be that it left it?"
Yu Ning nodded.
Ji Mingxia was about to vomit.
Although he is not a mysophobe, anyone would feel bad if they saw this stuff dripping on their bed.
Ji Mingxia screamed: "No way, the last few times I saw it, there was no trace left, why did it leave something like this on my bed this time..."
There are only a few days left before the college entrance examination. At the last minute, he must stay in school. But the bed is stained with this stuff. He will have psychological trauma when sleeping here!!
Yu Ning asked: "How many times before? How many times have you seen it?"
"Including this time, it's three times." Ji Mingxia wanted to cry but had no tears.
Yu Ning asked: "Did you do anything to it the first two times?"
"I didn't do anything." Ji Mingxia said, and suddenly realized that the ghost suddenly changed its target and stared at him. Could it really be because of the previous two times
By the way, the first time he saw a ghost, he interrupted his sleep paralysis; the second time was even more outrageous. He actually took a flashlight and shone it left and right at the ghost, and then he really went into battle to fight the ghost.
Before leaving, the ghost climbed from Yu Ning's back to Ji Mingxia's back... Fortunately, Ji Mingxia fell down and lured Zhao Zhuoyue and others outside the classroom in. Otherwise, the result would be beyond Ji Mingxia's imagination.
He thought he was just a passerby who was not in the copy and was just completing the task of secretly protecting the protagonist. The ghost's target was the protagonist and would definitely not look at him.
But if we change the direction and think from the perspective of the ghost: this rookie supporting character who came out of nowhere has repeatedly ruined my good deeds...
Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia took a breath and looked at Yu Ning helplessly.
Yu Ning said: "Is it inconvenient to tell me?"
Ji Mingxia wanted to cry but had no tears. Seeing Yu Ning was about to turn around, he quickly grabbed Yu Ning's hand and shouted against his will: "It's very convenient, very convenient!"
Yu Ning, with his back to Ji Mingxia, curled up the corners of his mouth slightly, but when he turned around to face Ji Mingxia, he returned to his usual appearance.
There was no one else in the dormitory. Ji Mingxia found two chairs and sat down face to face with Yu Ning.
Under Yu Ning's gaze, Ji Mingxia struggled to briefly describe the circumstances of his previous two encounters with ghosts.
"The first time I saw it... I was scared and accidentally dropped the cup. When I looked up again, it disappeared." Ji Mingxia said vaguely.
"This is the second time... I didn't take my homework, and when I saw it on my way back to the classroom, I was startled by it again, and accidentally dropped it again! When I looked up again, it had disappeared again."
After Ji Mingxia finished speaking, he looked at Yu Ning guiltily: "That's all."
Yu Ning: “That’s it?”
Ji Mingxia: “Yes, that’s it.”
Yu Ning asked: "What about today?"
"Today?" Ji Mingxia was stunned. "Today was just as you saw. I was scared to death when I saw it when I walked in. Fortunately, I met you when I went out. I thought it came prepared today and would do something big, but I didn't expect it to just leave like this..."
Yu Ning nodded: "Yeah."
Ji Mingxia always felt that this "hmm" was full of other deep meanings. He looked at Yu Ning and asked, "Have you come to any conclusions?"
Yu Ning said to Ji Mingxia: "This ghost has appeared for some time. It was originally harassing me, but I didn't expect you to be able to see it. The ghost should have noticed this, so it decided to avoid me temporarily and lock onto you."
"Avoid, avoid?" Ji Mingxia grasped the key words.
Yu Ning said: "He wanted to possess my body, and I found its flaw, and we were in a stalemate."
Ji Mingxia was stunned when he heard this: "Flaw?"
Yu Ning nodded to Ji Mingxia.
Ji Mingxia took several seconds to react: "So what you mean is that if I'm not there, and you and the ghost are fighting 1vs1, you won't necessarily lose, and you won't die
"I got in between you two. When the ghost saw that you were so difficult to deal with, he decided to find a soft persimmon to pick on. Then he targeted me and decided to concentrate on dealing with me alone?!"
Yu Ning continued to nod.
When Ji Mingxia saw this, he almost jumped up!
It turns out that the protagonist's golden finger is much bigger than he imagined!
Although Yu Ning is still in high school, although he is miserable, although he is ostracized by everyone, although he has not met a top yet, and although he is still a weak and helpless protagonist, he has actually mastered the skills in advance and can battle with such a terrifying ghost!
Although Ji Mingxia was rich and popular, he was powerless to fight back against the ghost...
So what has he been busy with these two days
Ji Mingxia thought about how he had worked so hard and been so busy these past two days, and how scared he was. But today he was haunted by a ghost. He almost doubted his life. He couldn't help but yelled to Yu Ning, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Yu Ning looked at him: "Tell you what."
"Tell me you have a solution!" Ji Mingxia said angrily, "I wouldn't have to do so many tricks!"
Seeing Yu Ning looking at him with burning eyes, Ji Mingxia suddenly came to his senses. It seemed that he had said everything he should and should not have said without realizing it.
The first time he saw a ghost, he deliberately smashed the cup to help Yu Ning; the second time, he pretended to use homework to help Yu Ning exorcise the ghost, and finally escaped by falling down...
He even confessed to giving Yu Ning the campus card when he ran away just now.
I clearly wanted to hide it from Yu Ning, but how come in just a short moment, I told him everything...
Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia no longer cared about his grief and anger, but instead began to feel uneasy.
If all his behaviors were not coincidences, they were too suspicious for Yu Ning.
Moreover, Ji Mingxia had only been here for two days, and Yu Ning had already revealed most of his secrets. Now the only trump card left was the book-crossing secret.
If Yu Ning really wanted to get to the bottom of it, he... would definitely not be able to hide it!
Ji Mingxia couldn't even imagine what would happen if Yu Ning knew the truth.
Before the main story even begins, the protagonist already knows that he is the protagonist... This, this, this is outrageous (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻, can this story really go on? He really doubts it!
Seeing Ji Mingxia's face getting paler and paler, Yu Ning thought that Ji Mingxia was worried that the ghost would haunt him.
He actually still had a lot of questions in his mind, but since Ji Mingxia didn't say anything, Yu Ning stopped talking. He said to Ji Mingxia: "The ghost is not difficult to deal with. I will definitely solve it as soon as possible."
Ji Mingxia was completely plunged into fear of spoilers. In just half an hour, he was frightened one after another, his body and mind were severely damaged, his IQ plummeted, and he was almost unable to bear it.
He looked at Yu Ning blankly and asked, "Solve it?"
Yu Ning nodded slightly, turned around and took a piece of homework paper from the bookshelf, and quickly made a table in front of Ji Mingxia: "This is the time and duration of its appearance during this period of time.
"The appearance times are regular, and the duration of appearances is steadily increasing. At the same time, based on your experience, it can be inferred that the ghost can only target one person at a time and is easily interrupted by external interference;
"Before this, the ghost had no entity, but as time went on, the ghost's physical features gradually became clearer, especially the bloodstains that just dripped onto your bed sheet, which proves that its power is gradually increasing..."
As Yu Ning spoke, he added after a moment of thought: "What appeared today was liquid... If nothing unexpected happens, next time it might be flesh or hair, which will be somewhat aggressive. In terms of time... According to the rules, the next time it should appear before dawn tomorrow."
Ji Mingxia looked at his tables and analysis and was stunned.
He could understand Yu Ning's table, and he knew every word Yu Ning said, but when they were put together, he couldn't understand why.
In Ji Mingxia's memory, in the original work, mainly because the protagonist Pei Yuan had a special identity and had undergone systematic training, most of the time, it was Pei Yuan who was responsible for clearing the dungeon, while Yu Ning was mainly responsible for coordinating the plot.
That's why Ji Mingxia conceded that Yu Ning needed his help.
But judging from the current situation, Yu Ning obviously has his own way when faced with mysterious events.
Record, summarize, analyze... With such clear thinking, he is worthy of being the top student in the school.
Ji Mingxia was confused and had to ask the simplest question: "Then what should I do?"
"Lure it out." Yu Ning said, "Leave the rest to me."
