Chapter 139 Schoolhouse Game (10,000 words per day, please subscribe)
When the two walked out of the back hall, Han Yumeng was still playing with Xiao Hei alone.
Li Ziru walked behind the counter, but couldn't help but look at Han Yumeng a few more times.
He wanted to ask for confirmation, but he felt that this might not be a good idea, so he chose to keep silent.
After He Wenzhi walked over, Han Yumeng immediately raised his head and asked in a low voice.
"What happened to you just now? Isn't that senior? Why do you still say that he said naughty things?" Han Yumeng was a little curious, stood up and asked: "Senior, what naughty words did you say?"
< br>"It's okay, I mean you are a primary school student." He Wenzhi said casually He said: "I explained to him that you are not, you just look alike."
Han Yumeng: "..."
She lowered her head. Except for the heels, you can see a complete pair of feet.
But she also knows that she is always misunderstood, and it is not just because of this.
But no matter how she thought about it, she just felt so angry!
He Wenzhi touched her head and said, "Don't worry, it's not the first time anyway."
"I..." Han Yumeng held the small Fist, speechless for a moment.
At this time, Li Ziru said: "Ask me, little friend, when will Captain Chen bring the bodies of the victims?"
To be honest, I heard it before Li Ziru was also somewhat concerned about what He Wenzhi said.
Because the sewing man seems to have sneaked into the spring market, and this is what he came back for.
But when he came back, something happened in Chunshi, which made him inevitably think of the sewing man.
Li Ziru cannot accurately judge whether this method is really done by the sewing man.
"I'll make a call and ask." He Wenzhi looked at the time, it was not early now, it should be there soon.
He took out his mobile phone and made a call. The other party quickly answered the call. The two of them talked for a few words, asked about the time, and then hung up.
Captain Chen is already on the way and will arrive in about ten minutes.
When the bodies come, you can use the skill [Looking for Smoke and Asking for Directions] to see their memory fragments to make a final determination.
When he was inside just now, Li Ziru not only wondered whether Han Yumeng was a primary school student, but also said something specifically to He Wenzhi.
He suddenly felt that the real purpose of Li Ziru asking him to come in was actually this.
Li Ziru told him that the cause of Han Yumeng’s catastrophe seemed to be related to [Borrowing Life].
Because Han Yumeng was born with weak yang fire and strong yin energy, children with this condition are prone to die young.
And since she was born in such a family, she would definitely find a way to solve it.
This so-called [borrowing life] means using borrowed life to extend one's own life, or vitality.
It’s just that the life she borrowed was probably very extraordinary. It was not the life of the person she borrowed, but the life of something else.
For example... borrowing life from a ghost!
So Li Ziru told He Wenzhi that if he wanted to figure this out, it was best to thoroughly investigate Han Yumeng's past.
Since she still has blood relatives alive, let's try to start there and see if we can learn more information.
Then there is the reason why in so many novels Han Yumeng has read, three times the content in the novel happened in reality.
To be honest, Li Ziru said that he didn’t know either.
Han Yumeng is an ordinary person, not an awakened person. He is really just an ordinary person who is destined to have a great disaster.
So it's really weird that this happens.
However, this also made the two of them feel that regardless of whether it was some kind of ability, or even if it was just a coincidence, at least this coincidence would allow Han Yumeng to encounter it.
If you encounter something next time and you are not sure, you may come back and ask Han Yumeng and you may get something unexpected.
At this moment, He Wenzhi suddenly asked: "Senior Li, why didn't you see Senior Chen tonight?"
"Oh, him?" Li Ziru pointed. Outside, he said: "He is practicing Zhuang Kung Fu by himself over there!"
"Didn't Senior Chen practice Zhuang Gong since childhood? He told me that he had already perfected it! Why did he practice it again?"
"..." Li Ziru pushed up his glasses: "Maybe. He was stimulated by something, I don’t know. Anyway, when I came back, he kept practicing there and refused to come down.”
He Wenzhi: “…”
As the saying goes, practicing a pile is like practicing a root.
Senior Chen practiced the Zhuang Kung Fu hard because he was stimulated. So what is this so-called stimulation?
He Wenzhi thought to himself that he always felt that under the current situation it was better not to disturb Chen Tiankui and just let him practice silently.
Finally, ten minutes passed quickly, and Captain Chen came over with the bodies of the three girls who had hanged themselves.
This time, Li En was also traveling with him, which surprised He Wenzhi.
But thinking about it carefully, I seem to have heard before that because Li En is a talented new star in the Spring City Spiritual Investigation Bureau, Captain Chen values him very much and often takes him with him wherever he goes.
And now that Captain Chen has recovered from his injury, there is no need to ask Vice Captain Wei to do everything. He can run around by himself, so naturally he will take Li En with him.
Seeing them, they first greeted each other, and He Wenzhi asked about Meiping Village.
I remember Li En said he wanted to recruit manpower from the Spiritual Adjustment Bureau.
Captain Chen said that people have been sent over there, and those people will stay there for at least a month. If there is no abnormality within a month, those people will be called again. return.
The little secret realm in Meiping Village has ended. It is enough to arrange for people to stay there for another month.
Soon, the three female corpses were carried into the back hall, and Li Ziru lit a few sticks of incense inside.
After lifting the covering white cloth, several people looked at the three female corpses.
Since they died just two days ago, the corpses have not yet decomposed. However, because they committed suicide by hanging, the lips of these female corpses are all black and purple.
There were also obvious signs of hanging with ropes on their necks.
At this time, Captain Chen gave Li En instructions, and Li En went to get the rope they used to hang themselves.
Captain Chen put the rope on the table nearby, and then said: "Although he committed suicide by hanging, people have self-rescue reactions.
When the neck is tightly strangled by the rope and unable to breathe, the human body will subconsciously reach out to grab it in an attempt to break free. During this struggle, it is inevitable that scratching may occur.
So I have also checked specifically and there are no scratch marks on these ropes. Look at their necks. Apart from the bruises caused by the ropes, there are no claw marks.
And the spaces between their fingernails are also clean.
Then this can only mean that they did not struggle at all, and they did not even have a body's self-rescue reaction.
So I suspect that they are probably being controlled. ”
Captain Chen expressed his opinion and at the same time took out the photo of the bark face and handed it to Li Ziru.
"Senior Li, I participated in the investigation of the suicide incident in that forest twenty years ago. Now twenty years have passed, and the face of the deceased suddenly appeared on the tree..."
< br>Li Ziru nodded, looked at the photo again, and said, "I know Okay, my little friend I asked has already told me the general situation, let’s start now.”
Following that, He Wenzhi returned to the front hall and asked Han Yumeng to come. Play with the dog here, don't run around, don't go into the back hall, and then go back.
Han Yumeng was timid and did not let her see the body.
In addition, she is not an awakened person, so I don’t know if this strange skill of [Looking for Smoke and Asking for Directions] will have any bad effects on her.
Furthermore, Li Ziru didn't say that he wanted Han Yumeng to see it, so He Wenzhi thought it would be better to give him a few instructions.
Soon, Li Ziru took out the tobacco rod and the shredded tobacco, and with a sneer, the sound of a match striking was heard, and a small orange flame ignited between the sparks.
He opened his mouth and smoked, and the tobacco in the pipe lit up with a red flame.
He shook his hand, put out the match, and then threw it aside. After pushing up the frame of his glasses again, he shook his robe and started walking.
The white smoke in the back hall is getting thicker and thicker.
Obviously there was only one cigarette rod, and there was obviously only one person smoking, but the smoke seemed to be endless, being inhaled by Li Ziru and then spit out from his mouth.
The smoke is thick, gradually spreading and dancing. If you look left and right, you can still see the lines pulled out by the smoke as it disperses.
The smoke this time seems to feel a little different from last time, with a fresh feeling and warmth at the same time.
Li Ziru kept puffing away, his footsteps always moving around the three female corpses. This pace seemed a little different from last time.
He Wenzhi suddenly wondered, are the details in this [Looking for Smoke and Asking for Directions] different every time because the deceased is different?
At this time, the smoke in the back hall had completely filled the air, and it felt like it was shrouded in thick fog, and it even felt like you couldn't see your fingers.
In the smoke, Li Ziru's figure became more and more blurred, and his voice began to change a little, rising and falling, sometimes even like a jammed tape.
In the end, only three crisp sounds were heard, and the picture in front of me was completely blurred.
Suddenly, everything in sight was pitch black, and I felt like I was in the endless deep sea again.
There was a wet and warm feeling all around, as if it was throbbing and very lubricating.
Compared with the last time, this time there is obviously a sense of blockage and tight wrapping.
This feeling is very obvious. In the dark and warm deep sea, the wrapping feeling is becoming more and more obvious, as if being tightly clamped, as if entering a bottomless world. of black holes.
Not long after, all the feelings suddenly disappeared, and I couldn’t see my fingers. I only heard a popping sound, as if a searchlight was turned on.
A beam of light shone down from top to bottom.
He Wenzhi stood in the beam and could see particles of dust-like things floating slowly.
Same as last time, this is another dark and deep space. Only the light beam is visible, and there is only black in other places, the kind of darkness that seems to swallow everything.
"This feeling..." An idea suddenly appeared in He Wenzhi's mind.
He remembered the dark road he saw in Meiping Village.
Isn’t that deep darkness the same as the darkness here?
But there are countless ghost hands in the darkness, but the darkness here is unusually quiet.
It’s just that the silence is very scary, and there seems to be some monster hidden there.
This feeling is a bit like a person diving into the deep sea alone, with a sense of depression, oppression, helplessness, and the unknown of the deep sea.
While on tenterhooks, I can't help but wonder whether a sea monster will suddenly appear in this dark deep sea.
Bah bang bang!
At this moment, there were three consecutive sounds, and three more beams of light fell from the sky.
Li En, Captain Chen, and Li Ziru also appeared among them.
After several people appeared, they looked at each other a few times.
Li En was obviously very nervous because it was his first time to enter such a space. However, he did not speak or walk around, but looked at the others.
At this moment, several pictures suddenly passed before my eyes, and a huge white paper appeared in front of me.
The edges of the white paper began to burn, and the entire paper gradually turned yellow. The images that had just passed by began to appear on it, as if the movie screen had started to show.
It is a night.
The night sky was dark, the night wind was howling, and the leaves on both sides of the street were swaying gently.
A few young and lovely girls gathered together and seemed to be talking about something. Judging from their appearance, they should be chatting quite happily and very happily.
He Wenzhi's heart skipped a beat. There were five people in the picture, but now there were only three dead people.
Doesn't this mean that two more people will also be killed?
He turned his head and glanced at Captain Chen. At this time, Captain Chen's face obviously didn't look good.
It’s just that we are in the middle of [looking for smoke and asking for directions], and we can only wait until it ends here before we can leave.
The scene then changed, and these people appeared in a dilapidated, dusty old school building.
The walls were covered with dirty spider webs, and there were many cracks on the walls of the old school building, making it look like a dangerous building.
The girls were looking around inside, using the flashlights on their mobile phones to shine around, with expressions of excitement and excitement on their faces.
Through their perspective, He Wenzhi suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth. Isn't this the former site of Ivy Middle School that he almost destroyed before?
The exploding wooden tables and chairs on the ground and the fist marks on the wall were obvious marks that He Wenzhi could recognize at a glance.
These girls were full of surprise, because there was no sound in the scenes in [Looking for Smoke and Asking for Directions], so I didn’t know what they were talking about.
In short, everyone seemed very excited, as if a paranormal enthusiast had suddenly discovered a real paranormal event.
Immediately afterwards, they started taking pictures with their mobile phones, and then took selfies with those fist prints and so on.
Following that, they each took out a red candle and placed it at the four corners and in the middle of the old school building.
The five of them also stood in corresponding positions in the same way. In which corner was whose candle, they stood there respectively.
The night wind blew gently, blowing up the dust in the old school building, and the dim candlelight swayed in the classroom. The faces of these girls looked strange for no reason.
Her eyes were staring at the candlelight, and a strange firelight was shining in her pupils.
They began to whisper something softly, and then the girls standing around them turned around and started to close their eyes and face the wall, while the girl in the middle began to move.
He Wenzhi stared at all this intently, and also carefully observed the direction in which they moved, and found that when they moved, their eyes were always paying attention to the candles.
If we use numbers to express it, the girl in the middle is number 1, and the girls in the four corners around it are numbers 2, 3, 4, and 5.
The order in which they move is that No. 1 moves first, walks to No. 2 in a straight line, then gently pats No. 2 on the back and speaks a word in her ear.
After finishing speaking, No. 1 stood in the same position as No. 2, and had to close his eyes and face the wall like No. 2.
At this time, No. 2 could open her eyes. He also walked in a straight line and walked to No. 3's position. Then he patted her lightly on the back, and then said a word in her ear again.
At this time, No. 2 stood in the position of No. 3, continuing to close his eyes and face the wall.
No. 3 can open his eyes at this time, then walk straight to No. 4, and repeat what No. 2 just did.
Then it was No. 4’s turn, and she went to find No. 5 and repeated what No. 3 had done.
No. 5 is even simpler. You only need to walk to the central location. This location was originally where No. 1 was.
You can only open your eyes when walking.
Even No. 1, who was standing in the middle at the beginning, had to close her eyes and face the wall when she exchanged positions.
And while walking around, He Wenzhi also discovered something.
That is, they dare not walk fast, and every step is done lightly, especially when it is about to change places with the next person, they will become more cautious.
Through observation, He Wenzhi felt that they were afraid that they would move too fast and bring up the wind, which would cause the candles to go out.
If you put it this way, then this game has a prerequisite.
First of all, it must be a ventilated environment, and the ventilation openings must be large.
Otherwise, if you are afraid that the candle will go out, there is no need to find a destroyed old school building as the location of the game.
Even if it is to make the game more atmospheric, there are still several well-preserved classrooms in the former site of Ivy Middle School, at least better than this one.
Or you can find a completely enclosed room, at least there won't be so much wind, and the possibility of the candle going out will be much reduced.
Then the second condition is what I just mentioned above. In a well-ventilated environment, you must also ensure that the candle will not go out.
This undoubtedly increases the difficulty of the game, so these girls will be cautious when walking.
At the same time, this also proves why when they have the right to open their eyes to observe the surrounding situation when walking around, they only use it to focus on the candles, and they still look worried and nervous. .
Although the judgment can match those scenes, after all, this is a silent movie, and there are no hints like those in the movie. Everything is just inference, so He Wenzhi cannot be 100% sure.
And these girls are in such an environment, and they have to close their eyes and face the wall. The sense of oppression brought to them in this situation is probably no better than in a dark and claustrophobic environment. How many.
And as the game progressed, the expressions on the faces of several girls obviously began to change.
They seemed to be afraid. When they opened their mouths to speak, their lips began to tremble.
When the game progressed to four rounds, No. 2 stood in the center.
At this time, her body began to tremble slightly, and her eyes glanced outside the old school building from time to time.
There is a tall pile of weeds, more than one meter high. The weeds are swaying in the night.
Everyone's eyes followed her gaze.
Just from the picture, there is no clue. The girl suddenly became scared, maybe it was a psychological effect.
She is scaring herself.
Soon, she withdrew her gaze, swallowed gently, and patted her small chest gently, as if to cheer herself up.
The next second, she took a step forward.
Finally, when the game reached the fifth round, No. 1, who was standing at position 5, finally opened his eyes again and returned to the central position at the beginning.
I am very fortunate that after playing this game, not a single candle was extinguished.
The five cute and beautiful girls breathed a sigh of relief.
They turned around one after another, starting with number one.
But just when her face was about to face everyone and appear in the firelight, the scene in front of her suddenly disappeared.
The huge piece of white paper began to burn crazily, and the white curtain-like color was finally burned away, and all the pictures disappeared.
Several people present looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
Obviously it’s not over yet, right?
Why did it stop here?
However, this time, even Li Ziru's eyes showed some doubts.
He first shook his head to everyone, saying that he didn't know either.
He then nodded and made a gesture, indicating that he would leave here first.
Pap-pap-pap-pap.
After a few consecutive blasts, the lighting beam disappeared.
This space has once again returned to the most primitive darkness.
Today is a 10,000-word update. Because it is a big chapter, there are fewer chapters.
