Chapter 1: Ghost knocking on the door
Came to this group of universities has been two years, looking at the school grass and trees. As if I can find where to bloom spring flowers with my eyes closed, my name is Homi, just promoted to junior female students of the Department of Case Investigation.
If you ask me what kind of department is this? I don't really know, but I know that Yu Ying University is a private school. There are all kinds of departments that I don't know. The only thing I know is that after graduation, you can probably work as a detective.
I didn't want to be a famous detective, after all, it wasn't that good. I don't like blank fantasies, I'm a more realistic girl. It's true that there are a lot of bizarre events in this world, but they wouldn't be stupid enough for a college student like me to take over.
My father is the chief of police, and my mom used to say that my cold appearance looks like her, and my calm personality looks like my dad. Really, am I that good looking?
Fingers across the pink rimmed mirror, carefully look inside the bangs blocked half of the face of the face, black thick hair straight down to the waist, as well as the indisputable small flat chest …… where to look at it is not as good as that beautiful and virtuous mother well!
"Mi, someone looking."
I don't know who called me at the door, tiptoe to look out.
"What are you looking at, Mi Mi." Liu Ke leaned against the door frame, smiling and looking this way. The surroundings were as bright as a blooming lily, and I particularly liked his masculine smile and shallow dimples.
"There we are! Little Mimi." Morning Research Dew bounced along behind Liu Ke like a little follower. Most of his face was covered by his black hair, which was particularly uncomfortable to look at. Coupled with his hangdog personality, he really wasn't suitable to be a detective department student!
"Okay, I'll go over there!"
I coped, the classmate beside me said, "You guys are really close."
"Hee hee, it's okay, two sinful relationships."
Speaking of the sinful relationship with them, it's really inextricably linked. Cutting constantly, but also messy.
Liu Ke is my high school classmate, and morning research dew …… said childhood sweethearts I am embarrassed. He is always like a child who can't grow up, like to collect all kinds of models, car models, anime dolls, robots and so on. The only constant is that the IQ is above us. Just because of the character problem, many people do not understand. In fact, the morning study Lu is a hidden genius, although the character is very unsuitable for case investigation, but if serious, is a bit of a rival not to be taken lightly. Liu Ke's character was rather dull, usually silent, but in fact, his mind had already listed many thoughts.
"Hey, what were you looking at just now! What a stinker." Chen Yanlu stuck his hands into his pants pockets and said in a gangly manner.
"Didn't look at anything!" Who's like you, carrying a comb in your pocket every day. "Where are we going?" Ignoring him to make an ugly face, ask turned to Liu Ke who didn't say a word beside him.
Liu Ke said expressionlessly; "The restaurant."
"Quickly thank me! I've been earning money from playing ranked matches lately, so I'll treat you guys to some good food." Patting her chest arrogantly, Chen Yanlu looked at us with a smile on her face.
Yes, God forbid that he treats us to a packet of chili fries.
Coming to the entrance of the restaurant, Liu Ke suddenly stopped. Taking a deep breath, he released a message that shocked us all: "After my junior year, I'll take a break from school."
"Huh?"
"Why!"
I asked, and Chen Yanlu reacted more than me. He was close to hugging his thighs and pleading with Liu Ke to continue his senior year.
"Because there's no way out of the case investigation department, my parents are planning to send me home to find another job." The light tone made us mistake the news as not that significant.
Through the bland demeanor, I saw that he had unspoken secrets. Liu Ke has the habit of pursing his lips every time he lies, and I don't think it's possible that the meticulous Yanlu didn't notice.
The breeze blew by, blowing up their strands of hair, as if the people in the painting were generally framed here.
For a long time, I squeezed out a sentence: "I respect your parents' choice." A lot of want to say, finally reached the edge of the mouth and held back.
Research Lu sighed and said, "Let's go, let's eat. Anyway, there's still a year left, let's enjoy our time on campus!"
That's right, we're still young and still want to enjoy the remaining one year of happy times. In Yuying University, a university where every moment is full of good memories ……
After dinner, there is no class in the afternoon. A person nestled in the dormitory to play with the computer, open the school website, boring browsing information.
The mind is still recalling the words of Liu Ke at noon, he must be lying. What other reasons can't he tell us? Having known him for five years, what other secrets can't be told to us?
"Beep bar bar – wow bar bar -"
My cell phone rang suddenly, startling me. The quiet dorm room exploded and pressed the answer button.
Oddly, no one responded inside.
"Hello? Hello?" I said several times in a row, but no one answered.
Fingers left my cheeks and checked the record, it was an unfamiliar number I didn't recognize. Maybe it was sent to the wrong one, and didn't care. Now the mood is heavy, a year …… time flies not slow.
After a while, eyes as if filled with lead as heavy. I lie on the bed, slowly fall asleep. Until the night, was awakened by a text message ringtone.
"On April 5th, Yu Ying University He Qing is celebrating the 180th anniversary of its establishment. Students are requested to be at the gym at 3:00 p.m. on time to participate in the celebration! –Yukon University Office."
The above was the content of the text message, I turned off my cell phone in a daze and climbed up to look through the window into the dark, dark outside.
The next morning, I opened the window to get some fresh air. I woke up my roommate, "Wake up, stupid! The sun is on your ass."
Today is …… April 1st. There are still five days to go before the festival.
I haven't seen Liu Ke lately, I don't know what I'm busy with, and I don't go to class. Research Lu guess in and parents have a conflict, I think he is not willing to face us. The past friend, more can not lie to the right is.
"I told you, this case here was in 1890, ten years after the death, people can't come back to life. So it can't be the same person who did this. You can't even figure out such a simple question, you're such an idiot." I've been staying in the library for the past few days to do my homework, and I'm kind of regretting calling up Chenchenlu.
That brain of his, it spins a hundred times faster than mine. Always answering the reasoning process when he sees the topic. It makes me unable to concentrate, "Alright, alright, don't bother me. I know I'm not as smart as you, you let me do a good job for a while. 4 days on the test test ……"
Research Lu since the uninterested in the side holding the computer to play the game, a moment and lie on the laptop to sleep. Really take this guy can not help, every day in addition to naughty is to eat and sleep, the slightest did not see where to study hard, even better than me.
A defiant look at the case collection, once again cursed him to fail this time.
After finishing the last question, already evening ten. I and the morning research Lu decided to go out to take a break, so in the university by the roadside stall to eat spicy hot pot.
"When you're taking the exams, just think you're a detective." Yanlu said as she swallowed a mouthful of fish eggs.
"Where is it so easy ah, you know I am very realistic. Know the gap between myself and you ……" I said discouraged.
Yanlu angrily said:"You are just stupid, I doubt that you high school more than six hundred is not plagiarized?"
Even if you're not stupid, he said, "Yes, yes, yes, I'll try to think of myself as a famous detective!"
"That's right." Receiving a satisfactory answer, he was like a child who got candy. Eating with gusto, his mouth barfing, a cold wind blew him and me into shivering.
It was getting late into the night when we sneaked back to the campus. The moon was high in the sky on the empty playground, and there wasn't a single star around.
"Do you think there will be ghosts on such a night?" Chen Yanlu suddenly said in a ghostly manner.
My thoughts were pulled back, and I froze for a long time. For realists, there is nothing that can't be explained by science, anything that is not scientific is impossible to be real.
Ghosts, I hadn't really thought about it. Throughout history, how many stories have evolved from ghosts. More or less, I have some understanding of the take the story, are actually using science to prove that ghosts exist.
At the end of my pondering, I bravadoly said, "Of course I don't believe it." It was a question so brutal to the realist that I didn't dare think about it much.
"Oh." He responded woodenly. Eyes staring straight ahead at the not-so-distant, empty playground. "You say you don't believe, nah, what's that?"
I paused in my forward walk, inexplicably looking toward where his eyes were looking. "A ghost?" Muttering under his breath, is there anything on top of the playground?
The distance was so close that I could instantly make out the strange appearance on the opposite side of the playground. It was two clusters of fire of some kind! Other than that there was nothing, we were now standing next to a big tree and the playground was distributed like this:
Lots of weeds all around, surrounded by a plastic runway, and since the school had been around for a long time, the playground was worn out, and the soccer field in the middle was overgrown. A lot of times when you go in, the weeds can drown your shoes. The two ghostly flames were right on top of the tallest weeds!
I was scared and did not know to react, suddenly very far away from the girls' dormitory, the boys' dormitory light all went out.
Our hearts mentioned the fat man's eyes.
I turned back to see the expression and reaction of the morning research Lu, but has long been gone. Damn, it will not be left behind me to run away by myself!
Looking around, it seems that the slightest breeze can make my heart tremble. Yanlu, Yanlu where did you die! Just at this moment, suddenly a strong wind whistled past, the dormitory building suddenly exploded. The distance was too far for me to hear clearly, interspersed with all sorts of girls' screams passing towards me.
"Sprinkle Sprinkle-" The night was completely dark, the bright moonlight was covered by dark clouds. I tried to move my legs, but I couldn't move my limbs as if they were out of control. Cold wind gusts, blowing the tip of my nose Fan red.
After a while, the fire was still in the same place. Gradually I let myself relax as much as possible, trying to explain this phenomenon with science. Suddenly there was the soft sound of someone breathing behind me, and I was picked up brutally by the waist.
"Who!" I really admired myself for asking calmly at this point.
"Shhh." Study Lou's expression was invisible in the darkness, "Let's go over there quietly and see." He said in an unusually calm manner.
I asked incredulously, "Where did you just go!"
"I went to check the main electric switch and it didn't trip." He paused and continued, "Don't you think that's unusual?"
I shook my head, "It should be on fire."
He shook his head helplessly and leaned behind a tree and whispered, "Are you really stupid or not?"
We were quiet, not even daring to breathe. Like soldiers, approaching the playground, our hearts felt like they were going to jump out. Chen Yen Lu looked extremely excited, and I could see the shadow of "the boring college life is finally coming to an end" in his eyes!
I shook my head helplessly, thinking that I still want to graduate peacefully. In the words of Liu Kede, if his parents agree, perhaps he will continue to study in graduate school…….
"Hey, what are you guys doing?"
The eerie voice broke our nervous and excited mood, and I turned around to see Liu Ke's face hiding in the darkness gradually being lit up by the moonlight coming out of the dark clouds.
Morning Research Lu climbed up to clean up the dust on his legs, said, "A few days do not see, the tone is still so cold oh."
I laughed bitterly, isn't this putting the answer to the question on me? He answered the wrong question, I can not follow the wrong answer ah. The words have not yet been said, Liu Ke suddenly pulled both of our arms. Extremely seriously, he said, "Don't linger! Hurry up and go!"
I was a bit at a loss for words, while Yan Lu retorted in disobedience, "What the hell ah you!"
"Listen to me and go. It's very dangerous here-"
Before he could finish his sentence, the ghost fire went out in the center of the playground in front of us!
All of a sudden, our eyes were quite gray, and we couldn't even see more than a meter away. Immediately after that, there was a rumble on the ground, and Chen Yanlu reacted in time; pressing down on Liu Ke and I's heads as we crawled towards the ground. I was well and truly eaten up, knocking a piece of my lip out.
"Thunk! –"
A loud, booming sound, and with it, we smelled a foul odor of blood ……
