In the dark room, only the dv player was shining brightly. Chu Tianshu and Lin Huai leaned their heads together and looked at the screen.
The recording begins when Lin Huai meets everyone at the station in the morning. There was nothing to say in that paragraph, but Chu Tianshu felt his head getting heavier and heavier. Afterwards, there was laughter from everyone in the van.
Because of Lin Huai's attitude of non-violence and non-cooperation, in the car, the camera always looked at the entire interior of the car from Lin Huai's direction. When several people talked about the customs of Ruyue Town, Chu Tianshu deliberately slowed down the playback speed of the dv player and listened carefully several times.
Lin Huai sat beside him and yawned the whole time. His eyes were faintly red in the dark night, but his soft black hair hung listlessly on his forehead. Compared with Chu Tianshu, who was in a state of reasoning and cautious, he just sat by and made up the numbers.
This is not only because of his strength and fearlessness, but also because of Chu Tianshu's presence, he waits peacefully for him to reason, that's all.
After watching this scene, it is the scene of everyone clasping their hands together and entering Ruyue Town. The camera followed everyone until everyone entered the house.
The moment the camera dangled and walked into Murakami's house, Lin Huai said, "Wait a minute, here, I saw a female ghost under the cherry blossom tree."
He stared at the camera screen, his eyes were like shining rubies: "Three, two, one..."
Something happened beyond his expectation.
The camera did capture the cherry tree, but everything is normal—the withered night cherry swaying slightly in the night wind, the hazy moonlight, everything is so beautiful and poetic.
But Lin Huai was obviously not happy with what he saw.
He stared at the dv player quietly. Finally, the video arrived when everyone was playing the game. All the lights were turned off, leaving only faint candlelight, but the dv machine seemed to have a good night shooting function, and all the pictures inside were so clear and detailed.
The shrine is next to Lin Huai, and what can be seen from the camera is a part of Lin Huai's back and the other four people.
He watched five people form a circle, chattering and playing the game of pen fairy. The dv camera also captured the shadows behind the crowd. However, in Lin Huai's eyes, the shadow of the girl in the red dress who had turned into a terrifying woman maintained its original appearance.
All supernatural elements seem to recede from the camera. Chu Tianshu frowned, and then he heard the voice of the girl in the red skirt: "Pen Xian, Bi Xian, when will Mr. Xiao Lin break up with his lover?"
Chu Tianshu: ...
After seeing the pen writing countless "no" characters vigorously, Chu Tianshu finally showed a comfortable smile.
Then the room went dark, followed by screams. As the entire room went dark, the camera didn't capture anything, just darkness.
Then, the lights came on, the girl in the yellow skirt and the girl in the blue skirt entered the room, and then, the strange speech of the girl in the white skirt and darkness again. And then, washing hands, the blood red "正" on everyone's body, the unconscious girl in white dress...
That's all.
Chu Tianshu jumped the screen back to Wanbixian and watched it repeatedly.
The camera image is still dark. Chu Tianshu stroked his chin, as if he was thinking about something. Lin Huai yawned and said, "Let's hurry up... Huh, wait?"
He leaned down and said, "Did you hear footsteps? When it was placed here last time, there seemed to be no footsteps?"
tread.
tread.
It was the sound of human footsteps.
He moved his ears closer and listened carefully.
It was indeed the sound of human footsteps, soft and rustling. Lin Huai wanted to speak again, but his mouth was covered by another person.
"Hush."
He heard Chu Tianshu's voice.
"The sound of footsteps didn't come from the dv player." Chu Tianshu said in a low voice, his fingers pressed against the wall, "it's from the next door."
"next door?"
Lin Huai didn't react for a while.
He heard footsteps from the next door, softly, as if someone was walking or crawling. He also lowered his voice, and continued: "It's not Keiko and Qingzi who live next door..."
His voice stopped abruptly.
He remembered!
It is true that Keiko and Aoko's room was originally next door to theirs.
However, because the girl in the white skirt fell into a coma with a fever, they had already packed the bed and moved to Hongzi and Xiaoxue's room.
Now that they have left... so who is that person crawling slowly in their room
Or, if the girl in the blue skirt and the girl in the yellow skirt hadn't just moved out of this room,
The sound of crawling continued to ring in the next room. Lin Huai put her ear against the wall and listened to its activities.
He heard the "thing" crawl around the next room once, twice... and then, he listened to it...
—climbed to the opposite side of the wall against which he was leaning!
For a while, neither ghost made a sound.
Then, Lin Huai heard a groping sound—that thing seemed to be groping for something through the wall, and its posture seemed to be able to find out Lin Huai's figure!
If another player was here, the cold sweat on his head should have flowed like a river of sadness. But Lin Huai tentatively put his hand on the wall as well.
'what are you going to do? 'Chu Tianshu said with an air voice.
Then he just stared at Lin Huai, stood up little by little, groping with his hands on the wall...
Chu Tianshu: ...
After a few movements, he seemed to understand the meaning of Lin Huai's movements.
He is imitating the actions of the "ghost" over there!
Obviously, not long after, the ghost next door also understood Lin Huai's actions. The evidence is that it paused for a while, and then there was a scratching sound on the wall.
Lin Huaihong's eyes lit up, she stretched out her claws, and started scratching at the wall here too.
Ghost next door: …
The ghost next door knocked on the wall with its knuckles.
Lin Huai also knocked on the wall.
Ghost next door: …
Lin Huai's reaction at this moment can be said to be following the slow motion of the left hand and right hand next door. The ghost next door paused and began to climb the wall.
Lin Huai followed it and began to climb the wall.
The ghost next door silently climbed down from the wall like a donkey at its wit's end, along the base of the wall, to the ground near the courtyard. Chu Tianshu followed behind Lin Huai, silently said softly: "It's in the corridor outside."
Lin Huai nodded.
After a while, there was a rustling sound in the corridor. There was a "person" crawling in the corridor with his hands and feet on the ground.
There is no doubt that it crawls towards nature.
The only thing separating the room from the wooden exterior corridor is a paper door that can be opened. The color of the paper door is pale, and outside the door is the courtyard and the continuous rain. The moonlight was covered by dark clouds, and the light on the paper door was sparse.
However, something broke open the paper door very quietly.
That's a hole.
A hole from the outside... looking inside.
If someone squatted down at this moment and looked through the hole, all they could see was a ferocious eye with bloodshot eyes.
The ghost lying on the ground thought the same way.
But it didn't wait for the plagiarist next door. Instead, there was a sound of something being torn from above its head.
Ghost: ...
It raised its head tremblingly, but what it saw was a whole...
From the paper door, the head coming out of the paper.
The head said: "Hi, it's the first time we meet, shall I tell you to take care of me?"
Ghost: ...
Those were a pair of crimson eyes, inlaid on the pale face, like two rubies shining brightly in the dark night. The sound of the paper door being pulled came from the other side, and before the other person came out of the paper door, the ghost screamed and ran away like a fly.
Chu Tianshu who went out holding a wrench: ...
He was just about to catch up when he heard the voice of a good old man from inside. He seemed to be awakened by the scream, and ran out from under the quilt.
What he saw was the big hole in the paper door, Lin Huai inside the paper door, and Chu Tianshu outside the paper door.
"Just now..." the good old man said with trembling lips.
Lin Huai watched the ghost disappear through the paper hole, and said, "Sorry, it seems to be a little scared."
The good old man walked to Chu Tianshu's side with a pale face. After seeing the clear trace of water on the outer corridor, his expression became even worse. Lin Huai continued: "I didn't expect it to bark so loudly."
Chu Tianshu also nodded. He just wanted to squat down and study the water trail.
On his shoulders, there was an extra weight of a person's palm.
"Are you alright?" the good old man comforted him tremblingly with a sad face.
Chu Tianshu: ...
…
The hunt for ghosts that night was interrupted by the good guy. Lin Huai and Chu Tianshu went to the next room, and the next room was indeed empty, but there were a lot of traces of water stains crawling inside.
However, the next morning, when the two woke up, they found that it was still raining outside the house, but the water stains in the next room and on the outer corridor had disappeared.
It was still raining outside the window, and the whole sky was cloudy. Lin Huai looked through the eaves and looked at the cherry blossom trees in the yard.
The cherry blossom trees that were withered yesterday seemed much better today. On the paper that was originally withered, it seems that there are more branches. At first glance, it looks like a flower bud.
He frowned, and just about to continue watching, he heard a surprised voice from the next door: "Wake up! Wake up!"
"Xiaoxue woke up!"
This news is undoubtedly exciting. The good old man who was following behind the two anxiously now showed a surprised expression. Lin Huai and Chu Tianshu looked at each other, and Chu Tianshu said, "We'll go there too."
Lin Huai nodded. He took the camera and walked towards the room where the four-color girl lived.
The room was already full of people. It seemed that everyone was not in the mood for breakfast, waiting for the news of the girl in the white dress. Therefore, as soon as they heard that she had woken up, others rushed over.
The girl in the white skirt was lying on the bed with her eyes open and a strange blush on her face. As soon as Lin Huai approached her, she smelled that familiar fragrance.
The aroma seemed to be rotting overripe fruit.
She looked at the sky with her eyes blankly, no matter what the girl in the red skirt asked her, she would not answer. The fat man said urgently: "What should I do? Should I take her to the hospital? It's still raining..."
"You're right, help her up and take her to the hospital." When everyone was at a loss, only the girl in the yellow skirt said calmly. As soon as she finished speaking, the girl in the blue skirt and the girl in the red skirt hurried forward, trying to support the body of the girl in the white skirt and help her up from the bed.
But what they never expected was—
When they held onto the right shoulder and wanted to make her sit up, the girl in the white dress who had been staring blankly at the sky without saying a word suddenly let out a shrill scream!
"what!!"
The scream sounded like weeping blood, filled with extreme pain and fear. The two girls were shocked immediately and threw her back on the bed.
"What's the matter? Xiaoxue, what's the matter with you?"
"Is... does it hurt? Is it uncomfortable?"
The three girls surrounded the girl in the white skirt and greeted her with care. Several men looked anxious, but none of them dared to go forward. After a long time, the girl in the red dress hesitated and said, "Xiaoxue doesn't seem to want to leave this bed..."
The girl in the yellow skirt gritted her teeth and gave up the idea of carrying the girl in the white skirt out of the quilt. After all, every time when her body was about to leave the bed, the girl in the white skirt looked so painful—or, in other words, it was fear.
She was leaving the bed in fear!
"In this case, can you..." She looked at everyone with hesitant eyes.
"I can." The good old man immediately raised his hand, "I'll go to the clinic in the town and ask if there is any doctor who can come here to make a visit."
The girl in the yellow skirt felt relieved.
When they were talking, Lin Huai had already come to the girl in the white skirt. When he arrived, the girl in the white skirt had already resumed her expression of staring blankly at the ceiling—all her expression of resistance and pain came from the moment when she was about to be helped out of the bed.
When approaching the girl in the white skirt, Lin Huai was a little surprised.
The girl in the white dress didn't look at him at all—as if she didn't notice his movements at all. Lin Huai lowered her body and took her arm out of the quilt when no one was paying attention.
The moment he just touched the girl's arm, a strange feeling came to Lin Huai's heart.
— very juicy.
This was Lin Huai's first thought.
But soon, this weird feeling disappeared, and what he held in his hand was indeed an ordinary arm. The girl in the white skirt didn't even resist his actions, which surprised him.
Then, he looked at the right palm.
Of the two orthographic strokes, now only one is still clear.
Another stroke has almost completely faded away.
