Chapter 183 The Legendary Building No. 7
Yuzhang City.
Lin Ye did not inform Zhong Shan when he came this time, so naturally no one from the appraisal institute came to pick him up at the airport.
According to the address given by Liu Shuming, Lin Ye took a taxi to an apartment near Yuzhang University Town.
"Lin Ye, here!"
After getting off the car, Lin Ye saw Liu Shuming. Next to Liu Shuming stood a gentle girl wearing glasses.
"Let me introduce you. This is Zhang Yan, a classmate from our school. She is currently a graduate student at Ganzhou Normal University. The person who got into trouble is her roommate."
After listening to Liu Shuming's introduction, Lin Ye knew what was going on.
It’s not that Liu Shuming’s business has spread so widely, but that after Liu Shuming became a spirit medium disciple, he must have boasted about it in his circle of friends. After all, to some extent, spirit medium disciples also possess extraordinary powers.
Only the male protagonist in the novel would hide it after obtaining this power. A normal person would not hide it. Moreover, when Liu Shuming became a disciple of the spirit medium, he already knew the existence of the appraisal institute, so he would not worry about being targeted by the country.
"Tell me what happened specifically."
After saying hello, Lin Ye got straight to the point. Liu Shuming wanted to answer, but Zhang Yan spoke before him: " Student Lin, the situation is like this. I don't know what happened to my roommate in the past few days. He gets out of bed and walks around late at night every day. At first I thought he was sleepwalking, but then I found that something was wrong. Who would sleepwalk at 12 o'clock in the morning? Then I told my friends about the situation and wanted to ask if anyone knew anything about it. Then Liu Shuming contacted me."
Liu Shuming felt so depressed when he heard what Zhang Yan said. This woman is not a good person.
This is because she saw how handsome Lin Ye is and took the initiative to distance herself from him.
That’s right, I saw the message she posted on WeChat Moments and took the initiative to ask her in private. But before Lin Ye came, you were very enthusiastic towards me, especially when I said that her roommate was not sleepwalking but was entangled by dirty things, and I gave the proof, you called her Shuming all the time. Now that Lin Ye came, you have become Liu Shuming again.
Lin Ye naturally didn't know what Liu Shuming was thinking at the moment. After listening to Zhang Yan's introduction, he asked, "Where's your roommate?"
"In the apartment."
"Go check it out first."
There are many small houses near the university town, most of which are rented out by college students. Many students are in a relationship and cannot continue to live in the dormitory, so it is most appropriate for them to rent a small apartment outside and live as a couple.
However, Zhang Yan and her roommate rented a small apartment with two bedrooms and a living room. When Zhang Yan opened the door, she saw a pale-faced girl sitting on the sofa in the living room. She was Zhang Yan's roommate Xu Qimo.
The girl was very beautiful, wearing large black-framed glasses and a loose grey sweater with a stand-up collar, exuding an intellectual charm.
"Momo, this is Lin Ye. Liu Shuming asked him to help you solve your problem."
Before Xu Qimo could react, Lin Ye grabbed Xu Qimo's wrist and pushed her sweater up, revealing a white arm.
Xu Qimo raised her head and looked at Lin Ye with a . If it was the classmate Liu just now, she would be angry now. How could he grab her hand right away? Didn’t he know that there should be no physical contact between men and women?
Lin Ye's fingers slid across Xu Qimo's arm and all the way to Xu Qimo's wrist. The next moment, a thick line almost as thick as a cola straw appeared at Xu Qimo's wrist.
Xu Qimo was shocked to see a black line on his arm, while Liu Shuming beside him couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ghost entanglement!"
"Liu Shuming, what is a ghost entanglement? Don't scare us."
Zhang Yan was startled by Liu Shuming's exclamation. Liu Shuming explained, "Ghost entanglement means that if a person is entangled by a ghost, there will be a black silk thread on his wrist. This means that the ghost has entangled you and will not stop until it kills you."
"It's so scary, what should I do?"
Zhang Yan's face turned pale with fear, but Xu Qimo calmed down at this time, raised his head and asked, "Student Lin, I don't think the ghost would haunt me for no reason, did I provoke it in some way, so it must kill me?"
"It's not necessarily because you provoked it. Some evil ghosts want to harm people. Some ghosts, such as water ghosts or ghosts who died suddenly, want to go to the underworld, so they need to find a substitute."
Liu Shuming was showing off the knowledge about ghosts he had learned from his own spirit medium. During this period of time, under the spirit medium's indoctrination, he knew a lot about ghosts, but even though he knew it, he couldn't brag about it to others, which made him feel very depressed.
Now that I finally got this opportunity, I started to show off immediately.
"But you don't have to worry. Ghost entanglement has an advantage, which is that the ghost should not be able to move around easily, so it needs to be marked in this way. As long as the ghost entanglement is erased, the ghost will not be able to find you."
"Then help Qi Mo wipe it off quickly." Zhang Yan said hurriedly.
Liu Shuming looked a little embarrassed. He just knew this, but he didn't have the ability to do it. If his own guardian deity was still there, it would be possible, but the guardian deity stayed in the hall and was unwilling to come to Yuzhang.
Zhang Yan also saw it from Liu Shuming's expression and turned her gaze to Lin Ye, but Lin Ye shook his head: "Now is not the time."
"Student Lin, it's not the right time now. Do you want that ghost to come to you?"
Zhang Yan was a little dissatisfied, but Xu Qimo interrupted and said, "Yan Yan, classmate Lin might want to find the ghost through me. After all, I don't know when I offended the ghost. Even if I escape, the ghost might find the next target. If I don't find the ghost, there will be another victim."
Lin Ye listened to Xu Qimo's words and looked at her with some appreciation. This girl was smart. The key was that she could think so carefully about matters concerning her own safety.
If it were an ordinary girl, out of selfish human nature, she would beg herself to erase the ghost's entanglement. As for whether the ghost would find the next victim, to put it bluntly, it had nothing to do with her.
"Is there really nothing unusual?"
Lin Ye's question already explained the answer. He did not erase Xu Qimo's ghost entanglement in order to wait for the ghost to come to his door.
"No."
Xu Qimo shook his head: "This classmate Liu has just asked me, and I thought about it carefully. Apart from walking back and forth between school and the dormitory these days, there is nothing special."
"Well, just wait."
Lin Ye wasn't sure whether Xu Qimo really couldn't think of anything unusual, or just didn't want to say it. He would know at night.
…
…
Early morning!
Liu Shuming was leaning on the sofa and watching short videos out of boredom, while the two girls, Xu Qimo and Zhang Yan, stayed in the room, but the door was open. Knowing that there would be a ghost coming tonight, the two girls did not dare to close the door no matter how brave they were.
Lin Ye, who was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the door.
After a while, Zhang Yan's scream was heard from the room. Liu Shuming was startled and was about to ask what happened when Xu Qimo walked out of the room.
"Student Xu, what happened to Zhang Yan?"
Liu Shuming asked, but Xu Qimo ignored him and just walked towards the door silently.
"Mo Mo has become like this again!"
Zhang Yan followed him out of the room, her face pale and her voice trembling: "Just now a cold wind suddenly blew in the room, and Momo and I were just talking, and Momo suddenly stopped talking and walked out the door."
"Oh no, he's walking on tiptoe with a stiff posture. He must be possessed by a ghost."
After being reminded by Zhang Yan, Liu Shuming looked at Xu Qimo's walking posture and back, and immediately stepped forward to stop him.
"Don't touch her, watch where she goes."
Lin Ye suddenly spoke up to stop Liu Shuming and said, "It's not the ghost's true body that came, but just a wisp of ghost energy. If we move her now, it will only disturb the ghost."
"Okay...Okay." Liu Shuming agreed hurriedly.
Xu Qimo opened the door stiffly and quickly walked downstairs. Lin Ye and Liu Shuming followed behind him. Zhang Yan thought about it and followed him as well. She didn't dare to stay in the dormitory alone, so she might as well go and take a look.
Under the cold street lights, Xu Qimo crossed the road and walked towards the school gate. The strange thing was that the security guard at the school gate actually opened the door for Xu Qimo.
Lin Ye, who was following Xu Qimo, glanced at the security guard when they reached the school gate. The security guard had a dazed expression and held the remote control key in his hand. After Xu Qimo entered, he pressed the door lock button again, then turned around and walked back to the security room and lay down on the wooden bed.
"Did this security guard also fall into the trap?" Liu Shuming asked in a low voice.
"I'm just confused. I'll be fine after I wake up from a good sleep."
Lin Ye retracted his gaze and continued to follow Xu Qimo in front of him, watching Xu Qimo cross the dim playground, walk through the deep woods, and finally enter a gloomy path.
"When did the road come here? Why don't I remember it?"
Zhang Yan, who was following behind, watched Xu Qimo walk into the gloomy path with a look of confusion on her face. She had walked through this woods several times and never remembered there was a path here.
"Where is she going?"
Liu Shuming is not from this school, so he does not have the same doubts as Zhang Yan. What he is curious about is where Xu Qimo is going.
At the end of the gloomy path, the view suddenly opened up, and Xu Qimo continued walking towards a building shrouded in darkness in front.
The dim moonlight illuminates the old teaching building. The mottled walls are covered with patches of ivy, exuding a cold and decayed atmosphere, like a monster curled up in the darkness.
"It's... it's the legendary Building No. 7!"
Behind him, Zhang Yan's voice was trembling, and Lin Ye's eyes fell on the wall on the left side of the old building. On the wall that was not covered by green plants, there was an inlaid "Seven" that was covered with rust.
