Chapter 42 Classic Movie Appreciation (XVI)
The moment the sound entered her ears, Jin Wen's originally firm desire to survive was instantly shattered: which dormitory looked more unsafe, her dormitory or this dormitory?
Is she safe now, or has she just escaped from the wolf's den and entered the tiger's lair? ?
Amid the shrill ghost howls, the three sleeping girls woke up one after another. Guo Guo was so scared that she fell backwards and hit Zheng Wanqing who was about to punch her. They both fell to the ground and were helped up by Zhang You in time.
When they saw that the source of the sound was the toilet plunger, they let down their guard and regained their sanity.
"This is...we just fell asleep?" Zhang You reacted quickly and his face turned pale.
The four people had clearly done their best to take all precautions, but they still fell asleep in their chairs at the same time without realizing it. This shows that the force affecting them was stronger than they imagined, and had no good intentions.
"I dreamed that someone was pulling my bed curtains hard." Recalling the content of the dream, Guo Guo shrank his neck: "I was scared to death and tried my best to stop it from pulling it open. Then I heard it laughing strangely and asked me to look up to see who it was. Of course, I would never look up!"
It was not until a scream scarier than a ghost's laugh pierced the air and blew away everything outside the bed curtains that she loosened her hands and woke up.
Zheng Wanqing and Zhang You looked at each other and told each other about their dreams.
Zheng Wanqing dreamed that she was running on the playground at night, but there were footsteps chasing her from behind. The road ahead was getting narrower and narrower, and there was a blind spot at the end of her sight. Everything was forcing her to turn back.
Zhang You's dream was similar to Tang Xin Jue's. She dreamed of knocking sounds in the bedroom, but the sound came from the balcony window. Just when she was hesitating whether to open the curtains, she was awakened by a scream.
The four dreams all have one thing in common - in addition to the dreaming subject, there is also an unknown "existence" in the space. This existence appears in a form that they cannot see directly, but it induces them to actively break through the barrier.
If they hadn't been awakened in time...the three of them shuddered.
At this time, Zhang You also noticed the girl at the door and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Is that Jin Wen?"
Tang Xinjue: "Yes, she was knocking on the door just now."
"So when you used the toilet to call us, were you doing it right in front of her?"
Tang Xin Jue nodded to confirm, "Time was tight, and I didn't have time to avoid her."
A few people looked at the girl at the door. After a moment of silence, Guo Guo said quietly: "This skill woke us up, but it seems... it sent her away. "
I saw that Jin Wen's eyes had rolled back and she was about to faint.
After an emergency rescue, Jin Wen finally woke up. Seeing Tang Xinjue, she subconsciously wanted to run away, but was held down.
The girl who seemed so fragile in her eyes the previous second, the next second he picked her up easily like a chicken, and said gently: "Don't worry, it was just an accident just now."
Jin Wen: "...Wuwuwu, I'm sorry, I'm the accident, please let me go!"
She must have forgotten that this year is her zodiac year, which is why she is so unlucky!
However, she had no control over the situation. Zhang You and Guo Guo took turns to persuade Jin Wen patiently and patiently, and finally made her calm down and believe that they were different from Wei Xian and others.
Finally, Tang Xin Jue sighed and concluded solemnly: "Actually, it's a long story. I'll make it short. In short, Guo Guo from our dormitory is actually a disciple of Xuanmen. The master of Wei Xian from your dormitory is from an opposing faction. We are righteous and they are evil."
Guo Guo: "Ah??? Ah... yes, that's right!"
She puffed out her chest, trying to make herself look taller.
Tang Xin Jue: "We soon discovered that Wei Xian was bewitched by evil ways. The so-called yellow paper fortune-changing technique is actually a curse of borrowing luck. Have you been feeling weak, short of breath, having nightmares, and not getting along with your roommates recently?"
Jin Wen's worldview was refreshed by the shocking information. She couldn't digest it for a while and could only nod subconsciously: "Yes... yes."
"That's because you've been cursed by a sorcery."
Tang Xin Jue said loudly, "If you don't crack it, your life will be in danger."
Jin Wen was so scared that she started crying: "How can I crack it? I don't want to die!"
The girl stood up excitedly and grabbed Tang Xinjue's arm. Because she moved too quickly, the collar on her neck was scraped down, revealing a faint red mark around her neck.
Tang Xin Jue's eyes fell on Hong Hen for half a second, and he exchanged glances with his roommate before speaking calmly, "You can rest in our dormitory today. We will tell you the method tomorrow morning."
Afterwards, Jin Wen felt a sinking sensation in her hand, as if there was an extra piece of talisman paper.
"Put it close to you, it can buy you some time when you are in danger."
"Remember, never give up on yourself. As long as you are still rational, there is always a ray of hope."
Listening to the girl's gentle and calm voice, Jin Wen's anxious heart seemed to be infected, and she slowly regained the long-lost calmness from her fear and pain.
After a long while, she nodded gently: "Okay."
the next day.
It was almost noon, but Dormitory 612 was dead silent, with the curtains tightly closed, not letting in any light.
The three girls in the dormitory sat in their seats with expressionless faces, motionless, as if waiting for something.
Suddenly, the door lock turned and the door was slowly pushed open.
Jin Wen walked in with her head down.
Wei Xian, who was closest to the door, immediately jumped up with unusual agility and pulled Jin Wen in. His face was distorted and his voice was hoarse and changed: "You are finally back. We can't be short of people here."
Jin Wen shrank back, gasping in fear: "What will happen if we are short of people?"
"The transfer spell requires four people, so of course the four of us have to be together all the time. We can't do without any one of us."
In the dormitory, Cao Rou and Zhou Xing both giggled at the same time.
"But it doesn't matter. If you don't come back during the day, we will look for you at night. Even if you hide all the time, you will come back by yourself when the time comes. Everyone will come back..."
Wei Xian stared at Jin Wen and said some ambiguous words.
Jin Wen seemed to understand something, her face turned even paler and her body began to tremble.
"It's good that you're back. We can start praying now."
The other three people stood up one after another. They already had identical yellow lines hanging on their hands. In Wei Xian’s previous words, this would increase the connection with the transfer array.
Seeing that she was about to be forced to wear a yellow line on her wrist, Jin Wen suddenly spoke in a trembling voice: "Wei Xian, I want to tell you a good news! I have developed a group of subordinates!"
The roommate stopped moving, Wei Xian slowly raised his head, and said stiffly: "What do you mean offline?"
"I went outside to promote the effectiveness of the transfer array. I first convinced the neighboring dormitory, and then successfully convinced their friends through the neighboring dormitory... In the end, there were a total of 16 people, and four dormitories wanted to try it!"
Jin Wen took out a piece of paper with the locations of four dormitories marked . Including their dormitory, it just covered the four corners of the entire dormitory area as well as the exit.
If the radiation range is taken into account, the entire dormitory area can be included.
Wei Xian looked at it for a while, and was indeed moved: "Is what you said true?"
Jin Wen quickly defended herself: "I am a person who has performed a fortune-transfer spell. The stronger the fortune-transfer spell, the greater the benefit I will get. Why would I lie to you?"
"But there's some bad news: They said they wanted to try it today, but we don't have enough props."
She wasn't lying - Wei Xian only had one extra piece of yellow paper in his hand, and it could only be done once.
"So," Jin Wen swallowed, "They said they wanted to confirm in person whether you were telling the truth, and asked for a few more yellow papers so that you could complete the task beyond the quota - you only need to have a video call with your master once, how about that?"
Wei Xian said cautiously: "What nonsense are you talking about? I can't possibly expose my master's appearance in front of outsiders! "
"Of course we don't need outsiders." Jin Wen immediately compromised and bargained on the spot: "Then there will be only four of us here, you can just video chat with your master alone, and then I will tell them the results, is that okay?"
"There's no need to chat, just persuade your master to connect for a while, and they will be able to hear it outside the door--"
In her mind, Jin Wen copied out word for word what Tang Xin Jue had taught her:
"Opportunities never come back. It is your master's luck to have such a smart and capable apprentice like you. I believe he will be very happy."
