As night fell gradually, as the lights of the dormitory buildings were extinguished one by one, the noisy university campus gradually became quiet.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, the lights in the dormitory building were turned off, and the entire living area was completely dark, except for a few solitary street lamps, emitting a dim and pale light.
Fu Xiao really showed no sign of wanting to come back to live. Tang Xi stood at the window and looked down, but found an interesting fact.
Jiangnan University is a famous school with a history of more than 100 years. It must be a joke to say that no one has died. Let alone that every year, students commit suicide for various reasons. During the war period more than 100 years ago , the first president of Jiangnan University once used the school as a temporary shelter to accommodate refugees and seriously injured soldiers who retired from the front line. Countless people died on this land.
However, logically speaking, in the girls' dormitory area with the most sinister atmosphere, you can't see a ghost when you look at it.
They all disappeared and none remained? Or... was eaten
"Bai Xue." Tang Xi called out.
"I'm here." Bai Xue replied tremblingly.
Ever since it got dark, she had clearly shown fear and anxiety, shrunk herself into a ball and squatted in the corner, if not for Su Huang being by her side, she might have crawled back under the bed long ago. I don't know if Fu Xiaozhi knew that when she was sleeping on this bed, there was probably a ghost back to back with her.
"Are there other ghosts besides you in this dormitory area?" Tang Xi asked.
"Yes, yes." Bai Xue replied in a low voice, "As long as you obey, you won't be eaten."
"What makes you obedient? What about you? Are you obedient?" Tang Xi asked.
"No, no, I'm not!" Bai Xue suddenly became excited.
Tang Xi looked at her thoughtfully.
"Woooooooooo..." Bai Xue burst into tears, "If you listen to him, you must, you must eat people! I don't want to, I don't want to eat people!"
"What? Cannibalism?" Tang Xi's eyes widened, and her heart was filled with shock.
"Last time, a brother soldier refused to eat another young lady, but when he opened his mouth, he sucked them both in and swallowed them up. It was so scary..." Bai Xue wailed.
"..." Tang Xi frowned and sighed, "That's a ghost, not a human, it almost scared me to death."
In other words, if someone in Jiangnan University was eaten, how could there be no news at all? Students from key universities, even if they disappeared in an ordinary way, would not be calm.
"Oh, yes, we are all ghosts." Bai Xue suddenly realized.
Tang Xi shook her head, she had never seen such a ghost. However, her eyes turned and fell on her, and she suddenly thought: "You said that as long as you stay in the dormitory at night, you will not be in danger, why?"
"I don't know." Bai Xue's eyes were blank, "It's just that once he chased me... I ran into a bedroom in a panic, and then he didn't dare to come in."
"No, you can enter the dormitory, but he can't?" Tang Xi followed closely and asked, "What about the other ghosts?"
"Other ghosts can't get in." Bai Xue shook her head.
When Tang Xi heard this, the way she looked at her was more like looking at a rare animal.
I thought she was a useless coward at first, but she was the only one who could enter the dormitory. Bai Xue must have some very special qualities.
After thinking about it, she walked over and opened the door.
"Don't, don't go out! It's dangerous!" Bai Xue screamed, this time even Su Huang couldn't deter her, and slammed under Fu Xiao's bed.
Tang Xi ignored her and checked the door inch by inch with the only dim light in the corridor.
After a while, she let go of it strangely, and said to herself, "Why is there nothing?"
"What are you looking for?" Yun Qi appeared beside him.
"Spells or anything will do. If it can block ghosts, there must be something on the door." Tang Xi said with certainty.
"But she is also a ghost." Yun Qi pointed under the bed.
"No, all ghosts cannot pass, only she can, which means that she is the 'special case' that needs to be considered separately." Tang Xi retorted.
Yun Qi was silent for a while, then raised his head: "The door of the dormitory is made of wood, and the door of the dormitory will not be cherished by the students as if it were their own home. It will last for ten years at most."
"Door frame!" Tang Xi slapped his forehead.
The doors are fragile and will be replaced frequently, but the frames will certainly not be replaced unless the entire building is being redone.
"Wait." As Yun Qi said, he floated up and reached out to touch the top door frame. After a pause, he groped to the side inch by inch.
"How is it?" Yun Qi looked up at him.
"No." Yun Qi shook his head and fell back to the ground.
"No?" Tang Xi dragged her chin, lost in thought, "Could it be that I was thinking wrong? It shouldn't be..."
After a long time, she gave up and sighed: "Forget it, go to the library tomorrow to check the information, the history of Jiangnan University, and the construction status of this dormitory building."
"Do you want to go out?" Yun Qi asked.
"Well, as promised to Chu Li, go and catch the brat." Tang Xi nodded.
At noon, she originally planned to subdue Bai Xue and let her go to work, but now that she found that Bai Xue was not an ordinary brat, she decided to keep her by her side for the time being.
Yun Qi and Su Huang immediately turned into two beams of light and returned to her bracelet.
Tang Xi turned her head and said, "Stay here obediently", and walked out.
"No, no, no, you can't go out! It's too dangerous!" Bai Xue poked her head out from under the bed and shouted.
"It will be fine." Tang Xi didn't care.
Judging from Bai Xue's tone, that ghost should have grown into something, but it still has a long way to go when it grows to the level of ghost king, otherwise Bai Xue would not be the only one who died in the dormitory so far.
"No way!" Bai Xue gritted her teeth, with a trace of determination on her small face, she rushed out and blocked the door, with her arms outstretched, blocking the door tightly, "I, I, I can't let you out! "
Tang Xi stared at her for a while, raised her foot, and took a step—
For a long while, Bai Xue couldn't react to this action.
"Boom, boom, boom." The footsteps gradually faded away in the corridor.
It was only then that Bai Xue remembered that she was already a ghost, even if she used her body to block the door, she only had to pass through her body.
Before Tang Xi reached the stairs, she heard the voice of "wait for me" from behind, and Bai Xue floated over.
"I, I will go too!" Bai Xue said.
"Aren't you afraid?" Tang Xi asked in surprise. Obviously, he was scared to death.
"I, I... woo woo woo..." Bai Xue looked at death as if she was at home, and cried while floating.
"Come on, don't cry!" Tang Xi was annoyed by crying, and said angrily, "Crying again will attract ghosts."
"!!!" Bai Xue's eyes widened, and she immediately covered her mouth.
"Speaking of which, this morning, why did you scare me by hanging yourself in the dormitory?" Tang Xi asked casually as she went downstairs.
"I just, just want to scare you away and ask you to change to another dormitory. That guy is really scary!" Bai Xue followed behind her with her head bowed.
"So in order not to scare me, you scare me first?" Tang Xi was speechless.
"But! I only need to scare you once, otherwise you may be scared many times! Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain!" Bai Xue argued plausibly.
"Huh?" Tang Xi was shocked.
What kind of logic is this! What kind of strange creature was this girl when she was alive!
Still... a little cute.
Want to raise.
While speaking, they had already descended to the first floor.
The doors of the dormitory buildings cannot be locked. In the event of a fire, the students cannot be evacuated in time, which will lead to major accidents. There was a small light on in the reception room at the gate, and the dormitory manager on duty had already left work, and was packing up her things, planning to go to the small room in the reception room to sleep for a while.
Tang Xi stood at the corner and waited for a while. When she saw that the lights were off, she came out, opened the door lightly and slipped out.
Jiangnan University’s dormitory access control is actually not strict. The main thing is to prevent people from sneaking in. Ever since a boy came to find his girlfriend in the middle of the night, all the door locks have been changed. They can be opened directly from the inside and come in from the outside. Just need the key. And even if the girls inside really wanted to sneak out, the gate of the school was locked, and it was absolutely impossible for the security guards to let them out in the middle of the night.
Therefore, the dormitory aunt is actually not that dedicated.
"It's so quiet." Tang Xi sighed.
"How about... shall we go back?" Bai Xue suggested timidly.
"The ghost you mentioned can't enter the dormitory, so can it leave the dormitory building?" Tang Xi asked suddenly.
"Huh?" Bai Xue was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, she said hesitantly, "It is possible, but there is one strange thing, he only comes out during the day and never leaves the dormitory building at night."
"Oh?" Tang Xi's eyes lit up, and he wrote it down.
You can go in and out during the day, but you can't go out at night for some reason. There must be a reason, and it can't be a coincidence.
"Where are we going?" Bai Xue asked.
"It's just me, you want to follow me yourself." Tang Xi corrected.
Bai Xue was speechless, and the floating figure shrank even more behind her.
Tang Xi had already walked through several dormitory buildings, but hadn't found anything special yet, when suddenly she seemed to hear some noise in the grass.
There shouldn't be anyone else who went on a night tour of the campus on the first day of registration, right
After thinking about it, she walked over cautiously.
"Wow~"
"She found out!"
"Can she see me?"
Suddenly, a group of little ghosts scattered like birds and beasts.
"Come back!" Tang Xi yelled, hooked his fingers, and the spiritual power line stuck to the backs of the three little devils, pulling them back directly.
"Ah, you are a heavenly master!" A little female ghost screamed.
"Shut up!" Tang Xi tugged at the spiritual power thread, "I'll answer whatever I ask, otherwise... well, you understand, huh?"
"Hmmmm!" The three little ghosts wanted to cry but had no tears, they immediately stood side by side and nodded their heads, one by one being cute.
Tang Xi looked over one by one, and found that the two women and one man were about the same age as Bai Xue, and they were probably students of Jiangnan University before they were alive. One of the men and the woman had swollen skin, with a paleness that had been soaked in water for too long, and they should have drowned , and the other female ghost had a steel bar stuck in her head, her head was covered with blood, and she looked particularly shocking.
"Wow~ It's scary! There are ghosts!" Bai Xue desperately hid behind Tang Xi.
"Huh? Aren't you a ghost?" The drowned ghost asked curiously, "By the way, how did you die, you can't tell!"
Tang Xi mused to herself, indeed, this is another unreasonable thing about Bai Xue. Obviously weak enough, but the appearance is the same as before, and there is no sign of death. At the beginning, Su Huang had to practice for twenty years on her own before she could hide her scorching marks.
"I, I..." Bai Xue was tearful and speechless.
Tang Xi sighed, and also felt that talking to such three ghosts was really unsightly, so she simply waved her hand to eliminate their death.
"Hey! It's recovered!" The three ghosts looked at each other, hugged each other suddenly, and were about to cry with joy.
To die is to die, but since there is still consciousness after death, who wants to see such a terrifying appearance of himself.
"Okay, let's talk about your situation now." Tang Xi interrupted their celebration.
Later, she learned about the situation of the three little ghosts.
The male and female drowned ghosts are named Peng Ning and Shen Rongrong respectively. They are a couple, but the family gap is a bit big. The man's family disagrees, and even rushes to the school to insult the girl in public. Lover Lake of the school. Early the next morning, the boy saw the dead body of his lover and jumped down too. It was too late to be discovered. And Xie Yan, the girl whose head was pierced by a steel bar, was even more unlucky. Her family was poor, and the whole village finally gave up a college student. , was killed by a steel bar falling from the sky. Although the person in charge of the construction site is quite kind, and all compensations are in place, but for Xie Yan, she still wants to study and go to university, so her soul can't stay in school.
And Shen Rongrong and Xie Yan are good friends, Shen Rongrong is so easy to commit suicide, and another very important reason is that even the only friend is gone, and there is no one who can complain.
Tang Xi couldn't help shaking his head after listening.
There is light and shadow in this world, the dark side of the city is always there, and there is no shortage of tragedy, even in the hopeful university.
"You guys, has anyone seen that ghost in Building No. 4 of the girls' dormitory?" Tang Xi asked directly.
The three ghosts looked at each other for a while, and finally Peng Ning said: "We met once, but we just hid away and saw him suck two ghosts like us from his mouth."
"That's right! It's scary! I don't want to go into his stomach!" Shen Rongrong nodded repeatedly while hugging her boyfriend's arm.
"Do you really eat ghosts..." Tang Xi frowned, and said again, "Have you seen clearly what that ghost looks like?"
"This..." The three ghosts looked at each other, and they started talking one after another.
"male!"
"It's quite tall, it looks like it's almost two meters?"
"There must be! And the blue-faced fangs look like a ghost... Ah, by the way, he is a ghost!"
"And it's very fierce!"
"That's right, despite his size, he actually runs very fast and is flexible."
"That's not running, but floating?"
"Basically, he always moves very dexterously, and those little devils can't escape even if he is staring at him."
Tang Xi was helpless, she didn't say a word to the point at all, I'm afraid there was nothing else that could be heard except for the sentence "male". But think about it again, these are actually greenhouse flowers that have not experienced anything in the world, and they dare not look carefully when encountering such things.
Suddenly, a thin voice came from behind: "His belly is big."
"Huh?" Tang Xi turned around.
"It's just a big belly, like a fat beer belly." Bai Xue was startled by her look, and said softly.
"That's true." Peng Ning quickly added, "That stomach is ridiculously bigger than a beer belly, just like... Zhu Bajie!"
However, no one could laugh.
Tang Xi nodded, and his face softened, it was finally useful.
"Actually, we don't know how long we can hide all day long." Xie Yan sighed, "The ghosts in the school are almost eaten up. I'm afraid that sooner or later we will..."
"Then why don't you go?" Bai Xue asked.
"Didn't you leave too?" Xie Yan sneered.
"I can't go." It was Tang Xi who answered, "Suicides do not enter the underworld, do not enter reincarnation, and will stay in the land of death forever, unless another ghost can be found to take his place. This is called a substitute ghost."
For a moment, the air was silent.
"Yeah, Peng Ning and I can't leave, and Yanyan doesn't want to escape alone." Shen Rongrong smiled wryly.
Tang Xi pondered for a moment, then said, "You guys, want to die... Do you want to disappear or exist?"
"Of course I want to exist!" The three ghosts said in unison.
Suicide was actually just a spur of the moment, and I regretted it a long time ago. Since we can still be together as ghosts, who wants to disappear? Not to mention Xie Yan, she has always loved life. But... you originally wanted to say "Want to die or live"? If time goes back, who doesn't want to live, but unfortunately there is no if.
"You, do one thing for me, and I will protect you. I will also find a way to get rid of that ghost." Tang Xi said, pointing to Xie Yan.
"Okay!" Xie Yan agreed without thinking.
"But... why don't you let me do it! I'm a man!" Peng Ning hesitated for a moment, stood up and said.
"I don't worry about you." Tang Xi shook her head. "Ms. Xie Yan is the calmest among you. And she can go in and out of the school gate. If you are, I have to find a way to break the curse of your earth-bound spirit."
As she said that, without waiting for any further objections from them, she took out her ID and opened it, and said in a deep voice, "Look clearly, what I asked you to do is not a bad thing, but a good thing for the country and the people."
When Xie Yan heard this, her eyes lit up immediately, and Peng Ning and Shen Rongrong stopped talking.
The certificates of the Municipal Bureau are still very useful, especially for these college students who have not been polluted by society and are still full of enthusiasm and sense of justice.
"I need you to keep an eye on a person and record all his suspicious behaviors 24 hours a day." Tang Xi showed Xie Yan Zhuang Shijie's photo on his mobile phone. Of course, all she could find was the ID photo in Zhuang Shijie's file.
"Is he also a policeman?" Xie Yan asked in surprise.
"Yes." Tang Xi replied, "This person may be a scum in the police, but because of his professional relationship, he has a strong sense of anti-reconnaissance. Our colleagues can't follow him without being discovered. To find evidence of his crimes, I can only rely on you!"
"Well, I will keep an eye on him!" Xie Yan immediately responded confidently.
Now that she is a ghost, and no one can see her, is it not easy to monitor a living person? Moreover, catching the scum among the police, this kind of plot is just like that in a TV series, which made her feel full of mission.
"Go." Tang Xi said, injecting a spiritual force into her body, and gave her her home address, and asked her to follow Chu Li's orders.
Xie Yan only felt her body lighten, and she was filled with strength immediately, and when she heard Chu Li's name, the last trace of doubt in her heart was dispelled.
Since it was the task of Team Chu of the Municipal Bureau, it must be on the side of justice!
Tang Xi watched her float out of the dormitory area, and didn't want to think about how Chu Li would react when he woke up in the middle of the night and saw a female ghost standing in front of his bed.
"Then, what about us?" Shen Rongrong asked.
"Before I kill that ghost, let's stay in the Soul Cultivation Bead first." Tang Xi said, waving them into the bracelet.
"Ah, can you take me in too!" Bai Xue stared at her bracelet with hope on her face.
"..." Tang Xi glanced at her silently, then turned and left.
"Wait for me!" Bai Xue hurried after her, looking around nervously.
"What are you afraid of? Didn't you say that he won't leave the dormitory building at night?" Tang Xi said indifferently.
"He won't come out, but other ghosts who listen to him will." Bai Xue said miserably.
"Like those?" Tang Xi stopped and gestured to her.
Bai Xue cautiously poked out half of her head from behind her to look over.
I saw a distorted black shadow faintly protruding in the darkness beyond the streetlights ahead.
"Ah~~~~~~~"
"Shut up!" Tang Xi said angrily.
This scream is comparable to the sound killing technique!
At that moment, the black shadow moved, like a snake, swimming towards the ground.
"Float up!" Tang Xi ordered, jumped up, hooked her fingers, and the spiritual power line wrapped around the lamppost twice, pulling her into the air nearly two meters high.
Almost at the moment when she left the spot, the black shadow bounced up from the ground and passed under her feet with a slight difference.
Tang Xi hung himself on the street lamp, waved his left hand, and swung a small spiritual knife over, nailing the black shadow to the ground with a "chih".
The black shadow screamed "Zhizhi", its slender body twisted and writhed like a snake.
However, what pinned him was not an ordinary weapon, but pure spiritual power, no matter how hard he struggled, it was difficult for him to move an inch.
Tang Xi retracted the line of spiritual power, jumped down to the ground, the spiritual power turned into a knife, and cut the black shadow from the pinned part with one knife.
Bai Xue, who was floating in mid-air as a kite, covered her mouth with a frightened expression.
So brutal!
Tang Xi squatted down, felt the resentment that was about to dissipate, and frowned even tighter.
It seems that the problem in this dormitory building is more serious than she imagined. If they were left alone, Bai Xue would definitely not be the only victim in three to five months.
"Back! Back!" Bai Xue shouted.
Tang Xi turned around, but saw several black shadows swimming from all directions.
She is very clear that this is just something similar to shikigami released by the main body. No matter how many are destroyed, it will only waste her spiritual power in vain and will not cause too much harm to the main body.
"Be careful!" Bai Xue pointed in one direction and screamed, "On the left, no, no, there is more on the right!"
"Keep watching!" Tang Xi got a headache from her quarrel, but she regretted why she was not included in the Soul Cultivation Bead because she wanted to study it. Her sound killing technique is basically killing eight hundred enemies and harming one thousand. Bar!
Indistinctly, there was a low growling sound in the darkness, which didn't sound like a human voice.
Tang Xi's expression gradually became serious, and he sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Whether it is voluntary or forced, once a soul without sin is devoured, the speed at which one is eroded by resentment will be accelerated and irreversible. In the end, they will all become inhuman and irrational monsters, just like the one in front of them .
