Chapter 39 Classic Movie Appreciation (Thirteen)
In dormitory 606.
Tang Xinjue spread out several cutout news reports on the table. These were information they had obtained from other classmates about murders on campus.
"It shows that a week ago, in the evening, in a male dormitory building in the southwest corner of the dormitory area, a boy jumped from a building, and a boy committed suicide in the bathroom. Two boys became mentally ill and also showed self-harming behaviors. They are still being rescued in the hospital."
At first, the school wanted to simply define it as students committing suicide due to unbearable pressure, but this was quickly rejected - the four roommates had successful academic performance, happy family conditions, good interpersonal relationships, and no depressive tendencies, but they suddenly agreed to commit suicide at the same time and place. How small is the probability of this happening?
"There are some details that have not been disclosed publicly. According to private rumors, the death scene was very bloody. The student's mobile phone and computer sent out a message for help, but all relatives and friends did not receive it until the next day."
While summarizing, Tang Xinjue picked up the pen and wrote under the clue: - Suspected signal blocking.
Zhang You added: "For this reason, the police suspect that this is a vicious murder case that was faked as suicide. The relevant surveillance has been transferred, and all the relatives and friends of the boys are also being investigated. The results have not been announced yet."
Most of this information was found from outside by connecting to the campus network through computers in the computer room.
Although the news did not mention the specific dormitory numbers and student information, they still managed to find out the following information:
The casualties were all members of a four-person dormitory in Room 612, Building 19.
"612..." Guo Guo took a breath.
Tang Xin Jue: "That's right. We are now directly opposite the dormitory of the movie's protagonist Jin Wen and her roommates, which is also 612."
Coincidence? In a horror movie, the possibility of this is obviously very small.
——Even though the system thinks this is an outrageous comedy movie.
Tang Xin Jue pressed his forehead and said, "According to the information just revealed by Jin Wen's roommates, the night they performed the yellow paper luck transfer spell was exactly one week ago."
On the same night, four boys from dormitory 612 committed suicide, while four girls from another dormitory 612 left their names and hair on yellow paper without knowing anything.
The moment a death ends is also the moment a new cult begins.
They shuddered silently, and several people looked at the clues of the school cases that had been sorted out, and found that they were still shrouded in mystery and not very clear.
The most bizarre thing is that even though such a horrific case had happened on campus, when they went to check it out, the boys' dormitory building was still open for entry and exit, and the students looked as relaxed as usual.
Four people pretended to be community reporters and captured several people for interviews. They did not show any fear when they talked about it. They just seemed to know nothing about anything, as if nothing had happened.
Even the area around the accident site was so strange, no wonder the whole school didn't have any tension at all. If they hadn't gone around the school gate, they might not have discovered this.
"If I had known earlier, I would have found a way to sneak into that dormitory building and take a look at the crime scene. Maybe I could have found some clues."
Zheng Wanqing frowned.
Guo Guo couldn't believe it: "Are you crazy? The four people next to us are not dead yet, and they are in such a state. The dead must have more resentment. If we really go, we might have to face four bosses!"
If you can come out safe and sound, it will be considered polite.
Putting aside the murder case for the moment, the four turned their attention back to the present. Tang Xinjue wrote another Dormitory 612 (Female) below the first Dormitory 612 (Male), with four names attached:
Jin Wen, Wei Xian, Cao Rou, Zhou Xing.
The movie test asked who among the four people would "die first". Since Jin Wen had been denied by the system, she could only find the answer from the remaining three girls.
"Wei Xian is the originator of the yellow paper luck-borrowing technique. According to her, this was taught to her by her master. As long as you write your name and hair on it , you can improve your luck, attract more romantic partners, and bring wealth. It's possible that she was the first to be stabbed, and the other two roommates were cannon fodder with no opinions of their own. It makes sense that the cannon fodder would be stabbed first."
Guo Guo, a fan of the supernatural, couldn't figure out the reason, and could only conclude with a sad face: "If this kind of magic is put in a novel, I would think it's stupid. It's obviously a crooked way!"
Not to mention that most of them are scams that have no effect. Even if they do work, nine out of ten times they will hurt others and yourself.
Of course, the protagonist of a horror movie will never realize this in advance. Now the yellow paper bag has been hanging at the door of 612 for a week, and except for Jin Wen, the other three roommates have begun to behave abnormally.
Just now, they not only rushed in to try to sell pyramid schemes, but also secretly left a lot of tools in the dormitory. Tang Xinjue found them all at the first opportunity and asked Jin Wen to take them back in the same condition.
"Luckily those things weren't left behind. I just felt the dormitory was filled with gloomy air and was extremely cold. It felt much better once they left."
Guo Guo breathed a sigh of relief.
Not only her, Tang Xin Jue also used the [Identification] skill immediately. "The results show that the four of them are alive now, not possessed, and should be simply affected mentally."
From this point of view, their crazy state is somewhat similar to that of the four people in men's dormitory 612.
"So, if we observe the four of them from now on, can we find out who died first?"
Zhang You's proposal is undoubtedly feasible, but there is a more realistic problem:
How can you observe the other person and ensure your own safety?
Guo Guo regretted it deeply: "If I had known earlier, I would have saved the points to buy the ghost-exorcising talisman."
There are no advanced runes, so I can only repair the detection table I bought before and stick it on the door to act as an alarm.
“Ding ding ding ding—”
Almost the moment it was put on, the alarm started blaring, as if... the dormitory door was being attacked!
The people in the room were startled, and Guo Guo was even more frightened and got goose bumps all over his body. "It's over, has something happened on the other side?"
Tang Xin Jue frowned and stepped forward: "Let me take a look."
She put her hands against the door and closed her eyes.
It was icy cold at first touch, not the normal coldness, but the aggressive coldness that was unique to darkness. It spread upward along the tentacles of perception, revealing the malice hidden behind the coldness... In the end, under the convergence of perception, all the malice pointed to the same source.
She opened her eyes again: "It's the yellow paper package hanging on the door next door."
"It is continuously radiating some kind of negative influence, not only to Dormitory 612, but also to us."
"Fuck!" Guo Guo grabbed his hair angrily, "Should we take that thing off? Otherwise, it will affect us too, and we'll be in big trouble."
Zhang You disagreed: "What if removing the yellow paper bag also triggers the death condition?"
It is now certain that the so-called yellow paper fortune-changing technique is definitely some kind of evil method, and it may even be inextricably linked to the headless ghost and the 612 male bedroom murder case, but they are now unclear about how to solve it.
Tang Xinjue thought about it and asked the other three to wait inside the house first.
Then she opened the door, walked over and knocked on the door of the dormitory opposite.
Not long after, the door creaked open, revealing half of Wei Xian's fair face. Her eyes fell on Tang Xinjue, and the corners of her mouth widened: "You finally came to your senses, are you here to get the yellow paper?"
"No." Tang Xinjue shook his head and frowned, "The air conditioner in our dormitory is broken. Jin Wen said she has a way to fix it, but she hasn't come yet. Can you let her come out for a while?"
“…”
Wei Xian looked a little suspicious. She stared at Tang Xinjue for a few seconds and refused in a hoarse voice: "Jin Wen is not in the dormitory now."
Just as the door was about to close, Tang Xinjue quickly stopped it and asked gently, "Can I take up a little of your time?"
"Actually..." She lowered her voice, "We have a secret we've always wanted to tell you. Your roommate used to bring many boyfriends home without telling you, and there are many other secrets, but we usually don't want to tell you since you're all here. Now that you're in our dormitory, we'll quietly tell you these big secrets while they're not here."
A glimmer of light gradually returned to Wei Xian's flat and cold eyes. She opened her mouth, as if wanting to express shock and doubt, but she couldn't find out Tang Xinjue's motive for lying.
Finally, in the face of the "secret", Wei Xian was still shaken. She crawled out of dormitory 612. Cao Rou and Zhou Xing's questions were heard in the room, but Wei Xian impatiently evaded them. She couldn't wait to follow Tang Xinjue.
The moment before, she had just stepped into dormitory 606 when Tang Xinjue closed the door behind her.
Wei Xian's movements were obviously stiffer than those of a normal person, but that didn't stop her from urging him: "I'm the only one here now, hurry up and tell me."
The door was locked, and Tang Xinjue's smile remained unchanged: "Yes, now you are alone, we can talk properly."
The author has something to say:
Wei Xian: Even if I have to become a ghost, I will use my last bit of sanity to eat melons
