Ring of Seven [Publication Edition]
Chapter 5 Moth Track
Zhou Jue stopped reading, he looked at Thin Monkey and Fat San suspiciously, they were also confused, but there was an inextricable confusion in their eyes.Zhou Jue closed the book and asked, "Do you think this Cui Niang is a bit weird?"
Fat San took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket and said, "It's not just weird, she's the mysterious red-haired girl. What is her origin?"
Seeing that the two of them were no longer reading, the thin monkey urged: "Don't stop, keep going! Keep reading."
Zhou Jue was about to open the novel again, when suddenly a wolf roar came from the mobile phone, so frightened that Fat San's cigarette ash burned his cheek, he scolded: "Zhou Er Er! It's an extraordinary time, can you change your call sound, you Come to a heart sutra or something, you don't have... I will pass it to you via Bluetooth!"
Zhou Jue raised his head and scolded: "You didn't send me the music of Dances with Wolves, why don't you fucking say that you are the culprit?"
Fat San held back for a long time and couldn't answer, Zhou Jue shook his head at him with the eyes of "my lord doesn't care about you as a villain".He picked up the phone and found that it was an unfamiliar number. After hesitating for a moment, he still picked up the phone. It was very quiet on the other end of the phone. Zhou Jue heard footsteps and felt a person coming from a distance.Zhou Jue turned his head and glanced at his two brothers, and the two behind him were asking if it was Chen Hao who called.
Zhou Jue gave a guilty conscience, but there was no echo from the other end.Gradually, the footsteps stopped, followed by the sound of the door opening and closing, then the sound of a chair being moved, as if someone had sat down, and then the sound of heavy breathing and liquid dripping on the floor.
Zhou Jue swallowed his saliva, when there was a sound of shutting down the phone suddenly, Zhou Jue's phone turned off automatically.Zhou Jue broke out in a cold sweat. He licked his lips, forced a smile, looked at Fat San and Thin Monkey and said, "I guess... probably the battery is out."
The two cut each other, but Zhou Jue knew in his heart that the phone's battery was actually full.He sneakily turned on the phone again and put it in his pocket.
The two asked: "So, what did you hear before the power went out? Was it Chen Hao?"
Zhou Jue supported his forehead and said, "I don't know, no one spoke, the movement over there felt like someone entered a place and sat down, and then the phone was turned off."
Fat San's forehead was covered with sweat, while Thin Monkey looked blank.At this moment, there was another wolf howl, which made the three of them jump up at the same time.Fat San cried and patted his plump face and said, "I will give you these things in the future, and I will write Li characters backwards."
Zhou Jue thought it was the strange voice from the front, he didn't speak, and there was no sound from the other end, and after about half a minute, Chen Hao's voice came from the other end, and his boss said unhappily: "Hey, are you still alive? ? Don't keep panting, boy."
When Zhou Jue heard that it was Chen Hao's voice, he almost let out all the breath in his abdominal cavity. He sighed and said, "Teacher, why don't you keep silent? Don't you know that people who scare people can scare people to death?"
Chen Hao said depressedly: "Who is scaring whom? Well, tell me, where is your dormitory? I can't remember where you are at the moment."
Zhou Jue said: "306, you go to the last row of houses, there is a stinky ditch next to it, which is our nest."
Chen Hao was amused by his description, but then he fell silent again.Zhou Jue fed it several times before Chen Hao said, "Have you read that book?"
Zhou Jue's hair stood on end again, he hummed vaguely, Chen Hao didn't say anything, just hung up the phone.Zhou Jue vaguely felt that this kid heard something on the phone.
In less than 5 minutes, Zhou Jue and the others heard a rapid knock on the door, and when they opened the door, it turned out to be Chen Hao.He didn't have an umbrella, and was drenched all over, and his hair felt a bit unruly when it was pasted on his forehead.However, soon this unruly handsome boy's eyes widened instantly, almost the eyeballs were about to pop out of his sockets.
He grabbed Zhou Jue's shoulder, and Zhou Jue pressed his whole body against his chest.Seeing this, Fat San yelled something like "Lang Lang Qian Kun, teacher, why are you robbing people in front of us".
However, Chen Hao dragged Zhou Jue's collar and ran all the way without looking back, and Zhou Jue was led by him like a chicken.Seeing this, Fat San and Skinny Monkey hurriedly asked Chen Hao what was wrong, but Chen Hao just left without agreeing. The two of them couldn't figure out the situation, so they had to run out together.Several people went downstairs together and got into the heavy rain, and the rain hit their faces frantically.
Zhou Jue shook off Chen Hao's hand, wiped his face and said, "What's going on?"
Chen Hao's eyes looked like he saw a ghost, he pointed to the window of the dormitory upstairs and said, "Is Feng Xiang really dead?"
Zhou Jue nodded, but from Chen Hao's eyes, he seemed to know the meaning of his question.At this moment, Fat San and Skinny Monkey also followed, and they shouted, "What are you doing?"
Zhou Jue ignored them and continued to ask Chen Hao, "What did you see?"
Chen Hao wanted to light a cigarette, but it was too rainy, so he couldn't light it a few times. He squeezed out the cigarette and said, "I called you earlier, and found that there was a person on the phone talking silently beside you all the time.'Continue Look, let's go on the road together, there must be no one in the ring of seven'."
Zhou Jue took a few steps back, and the thin monkey behind him supported him.Zhou Jue said, "Then what did you see just now?"
Chen Hao said: "I saw a man sitting by the window in your dormitory just now, staring at you all the time. His head was covered with wounds, and blood was dripping on the floor."
Hearing this, Fat San behind him didn't stand still, and sat directly on the ground.Zhou Jue also felt his legs were weak and dizzy, and Fat San lay on the ground, as if his strength to sit was exhausted, and his whole body trembled into a ball.
Chen Hao looked at Zhou Jue and said, "Go to my house first. It seems that if we don't do it, there will be no chance for us to do it."
This proposal is perfect for them now, because indeed no one dares to go back.However, the thin monkey stood still and did not leave. The rain hit his face. He pursed his lips, stood stiffly in the rain and said, "The book...the book is on top."
Fat San wailed and shouted, "You didn't take it?"
The thin monkey glared at Fat San angrily, but Fat San was too guilty to speak.Chen Hao pursed his lips and said, "This book will come back to us sooner or later, and no one who has read it can escape. Don't worry, it's too risky to go back now."
So the four of them hailed a taxi and went straight to Chen Hao's house.Chen Hao's parents are not in this city, and the house is not too small, enough for Zhou Jue and three big men to stay here for a night.Chen Hao took out dry clothes for them, pointed to the bathroom and said, "Go take a shower, or you'll catch a cold."
The four of them took turns to take a hot bath, and then Chen Hao asked the three of them to come to his study. He sat on the chair with his arms crossed, crossed his legs and said, "I have unlocked the code."
The three of them were shocked when they heard this.Zhou Jue said with a dry smile, "Brother Chen, are you sure? Are you kidding me?"
Chen Hao took out a stack of papers from a drawer of the desk, and he quickly wrote down the string of passwords:
5P-3C-I3436-368742.
Chen Hao read while writing: "Fifth row, third floor, I3436-368742..."
Zhou Jue immediately understood the meaning of this string of passwords.He exclaimed: "The four-corner number! Your sister is actually talking about the location of a book!"
The four-corner number is one of the commonly used search methods in Chinese dictionaries. It uses up to five Arabic numerals to classify Chinese characters.The four-corner number indexing method uses numbers 0 to 9 to represent the ten strokes of the four corners of a Chinese character, and sometimes adds a complement at the end. In fact, it is a number commonly used in library code management.Usually, when you enter a new book, you will check the four-corner number of the author of the new book, and then write the number on the book for easy search and management.Zhou Jue, who used to work in the library, naturally understood immediately.
The thin monkey looked at the code with his head propped up and said, "Could it be that the code refers to a book in the library where Zhou Jue works part-time?"
Fat San continued, "Look for it tomorrow? As long as we find that book, we can find clues?"
Chen Hao threw down his pen and said, "No need, I know the content of that book, so I also know what my sister wants to say to us."
Thin Monkey and Fat San looked at him puzzled and asked, "Have you looked for it?"
Chen Hao shook his head and was about to speak, but Zhou Jue stopped him. Zhou Jue looked at Chen Hao vigilantly and said, "Brother Chen, I think I have to figure out one thing first."
Chen Hao snorted, Zhou Jue stared at the code on the paper and said, "What I want to ask is, are you meddling in this matter only because of your sister?"
As soon as he finished speaking, six eyes stared at Zhou Jue at the same time.Zhou Jue was unmoved, he shrugged his shoulders, wiped his hair with a towel, and said in a very flat tone: "First of all, we only know that your sister is missing, which is true, but everything else is through you. It came out of my mouth. I believe it, but if I don't say it, my buddy can't say it, and that is, what role did you play in this matter? You know what we know, but You know, we can only learn about it through your mouth. To be honest, I think that such an unimaginable and dangerous thing, ordinary people will not get involved. "
After Zhou Jue casually said these words, Fat San and Thin Monkey were already standing beside him, and the three of them faced Chen Hao in a line.Chen Hao looked at them motionless, his eyes were very calm, even a little appreciative and playful.
Both sides wanted to see something in the other's eyes, but they couldn't do it.Finally Zhou Jue smiled softly: "Hehe, actually I have nothing else to do, I just think you are too concerned about this matter, and the evidence is too weak."
Chen Hao sneered and said, "You think I have another purpose?"
Zhou Jue shook his head, this time he didn't smile, but looked at him with a very indifferent look and said, "I don't think so, I'm sure."
When Chen Hao heard this, he burst into laughter. He looked at Zhou Jue with a smile, shook his shoulders and said, "I really like you more and more, kid, you really look like my sister."
Zhou Jue tilted his head and said, "How do you say that?"
Chen Hao leaned back, changed his foot and crossed Erlang's leg and said: "It's nothing, you like to use some tricks to test people like my sister, you want to test whether I have something to hide from you. Don't you Trust me so you need me to be forced to confess."
After Zhou Jue heard his words, a trace of surprise finally flashed in his eyes. Although it was only a flash, it couldn't escape Chen Hao's eyes.Chen Hao smiled slightly at him, and Zhou Jue knew that it was pointless to try again, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "Sure enough, it's Brother Chen, he's an old man, it seems that he can only tell you the truth, but in fact, I really think It's a little strange, why do you care so much about this matter. You must know more than that. Just tell us, we don't know what to do now."
Chen Hao didn't expect Zhou Jue's mood to change so quickly, he was a little confused by his sudden confession, he sighed and pulled out a notebook from the bookshelf, and said: "This is my sister's diary, which is also her diary. Leave me the only information."
Zhou Jue took the notebook, and Chen Hao indicated that they could read it.The diary is indeed similar to what Chen Hao said, almost nothing about the novel was mentioned.Zhou Jue quickly lost his patience, he simply turned to the last page, which was the last diary entry of the owner of the diary.
◎◎◎
I really have no way to wait any longer, I have read two-thirds of the novel, too much content and puzzles make me feel confused, I am very scared.I'm a madman right now, I can't tell reality from fiction, I don't know what's real and what's not, I need someone to help me.
I'm stuck, what should I do?Two ghosts reached out to me at the same time, which side should I reach out to?I can't wait any longer, I'm one of the seven, and the other six are still waiting for me, maybe they're dead long ago, but it's okay, there will be a replacement, like if I die, maybe my little brother is me the successor.I have to get that token, find it... no, no!Once you go, you can't come back... Go find it, it belongs to you, and with it, you will have the key to solve all mysteries.No... go find it, don't hesitate!

This passage really looks like it was written by a lunatic. Zhou Jue felt a kind of contradiction, as if there were two souls. They took turns controlling sister Chen Hao’s thoughts, and the soul that encouraged her seemed to have the upper hand. In the end, Chen Hao My sister did go looking for it.
Chen Hao looked at Zhou Jue's face, and he said, "You will be like her, including your two classmates."
Fat San asked first: "Are you so sure?"
Chen Hao turned to look at him and said, "Yes, definitely."
Fat San couldn't control his emotions, so he could only keep giggling. He looked at Zhou Jue and Thin Monkey next to him, and said, "Why do you say that? You haven't touched that bullshit book until now." , don’t you stand and talk without back pain? That’s right, the second child is right, we don’t believe you, why should we believe you?”
The thin monkey didn't help, he just looked into Chen Hao's eyes silently, he was the most silent and straightforward among these people, he didn't talk much, but every sentence was very pertinent, he didn't speak now, just Because he was waiting for the trust from Chen Hao.
But Zhou Jue's thoughts are much more detailed and complicated than theirs. Apart from distrusting Chen Hao, he also wants to know all the information Chen Hao knows.He understands that blindly trusting blindly will only mess up things in the end, and trust is generated when both parties are equal.
Chen Hao still kept his sitting posture, and he said: ""Kilimanjaro", this book is the book numbered I3436. Maybe you don't believe it, but I can indeed remember a lot of things, which is what I have to do every day. The reason for taking sleeping pills and regular acupuncture to fall asleep. My memory ability is about sixty times that of yours. My sister disappeared five years ago, so I can tell the order of all the books in the library five years ago."
Everyone gasped, and Zhou Jue hummed, indicating that he had heard about it a long time ago.Then Chen Hao continued: "According to the first few password numbers, I found this book according to my memory, and the latter 368742 made me spend some time. I made a lot of arrangements, but there was no way to integrate them. Later I I found out that this number is actually very simple, my sister will not complicate things, so I think in the most direct way."
Fat San asked, "What do you think?"
Chen Hao turned on the computer, and searched out the book "Kilimanjaro" on Baidu, and then he said: "In order, the third word, the sixth word, the eighth word, the seventh word, No The two words .40, when combined, mean 'seven people's meeting, meeting of life and death'."
Fat San read out these six words, and stood there for a long time: "What do you mean?"
The thin monkey also read these six words silently, but Zhou Jue didn't read it, he seemed to understand what Chen Hao meant, he raised his head and said, "How many people have read this novel?"
Chen Hao pointed his finger in satisfaction and said, "If you were a woman, maybe I would fall in love with you. That's right, at least seven people will read this book every time, counting my sister, you, fat three, thin monkey, The old Jiu who just died, and two other people, two people we don't know."
The thin monkey was also enlightened. He slapped the table and said, "That is to say, we are the so-called seven people in the book? Seven people ring?"
Fat San sighed, sat back to his original position and said, "That's not right, it's said in the novel that if a person dies, the next person must take over. It feels like a baton. So when the old nine dies, who will take over? "
Zhou Jue continued to ask: "And let's not mention those we don't know for the time being, there is another thing that makes me feel very strange. In the novel, Lin Xu and Cuiniang both ate fish, why didn't they get poisoned to death?" ? Instead, the monkey possessed by the man’s ghost, that is, Chi, was poisoned to death. What does this mean?”
Fat San and Thin Monkey shook their heads, and finally all three turned their gazes back to Chen Hao.Chen Hao smiled slightly and said, "Check, do you have the courage to investigate?"
The three said at the same time: "Check?"
"That's right, go and find out whether there is a ghost or someone pretending to be a ghost, the origin of this book, and the other two mysterious readers. You need to investigate, and the other breakthrough is the novel itself, okay, Get some sleep first. Go back to the dormitory tomorrow and see if the book is still there."
When it comes to sleeping, Zhou Jue realizes a problem, that is, although this place is spacious, there are only three bedrooms.One master bedroom belonged to Chen Hao's parents, and Chen Hao refused to let it out.The other one belonged to Chen Hao, and he was very reluctant to do so.The last one belonged to his missing elder sister, and they swore they would never sleep.One sleeps on the sofa, one sleeps on the floor, and the other one is lost.Chen Hao thought of the bathtub shamelessly, and the thin monkey jumped up first, saying that he could not be allowed to sleep in the bathtub just because he was short.
After tossing until midnight, Chen Hao finally let go, and Zhou Jue slept with him in the back room.This actually aroused strong dissatisfaction from the other two, as well as Fat San's meaningful ridicule.
The clock rang three dull sounds, warning everyone that if they don't sleep now, they will all have panda eyes tomorrow.Zhou Jue followed Chen Hao into his room. At this time, Chen Hao had already changed into dark blue pajamas, and he was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses. It turned out that he was actually short-sighted, but usually wore contact lenses.At this time, he looked more like Zhou Jue's peers. He pointed to the bed in the room and said, "You sleep in it, I'll come later."
Zhou Jue snorted, and was about to go to bed when Chen Hao grabbed him.Zhou Jue looked at him vigilantly. Ever since Zhou Jue heard Fat San's intentional or unintentional nonsense, he felt a little uncomfortable about this kind of scene, but he was very clear that he didn't belong to that kind of person, but he didn't know that Chen Hao ...
Chen Hao pointed to his feet and said, "You take off your socks and then get into the bed, I don't want to smell the smell of stinky socks."
Zhou Jue blushed when he was told, it was true that he hadn’t changed his socks for several days... He lowered his head and squinted at Chen Hao secretly, Chen Hao frowned and asked him what was wrong, Zhou Jue coughed a few times in embarrassment and said : "Then Brother Chen... Do you want to change your underwear?"
In fact, Zhou Jue's words are three parts questioning and seven parts ironic, and most people will react a little when they hear his words.To Zhou Jue's surprise, Chen Hao, as if reminded, oh, and patted his head as if he forgot something.He turned and went to the cabinet, opened a pair of unworn white underwear from inside, and threw it to Zhou Jue: "I almost forgot this, you can change it, don't pay me back, I will give it to you."
Zhou Jue blushed like a tomato after being teased by him like this. He felt that this person's cleanliness and hospitality style belonged to a certain distant planet in the Milky Way. In short, it was [-] million light years away from the people on Earth. .He took the underwear with a sneer, and Chen Hao went out after speaking.Zhou Jue turned around and murmured in a low voice: "It's really a hairy thing, there is no one who gives away underwear, it's really a psychopath."
Unexpectedly, just when Zhou Jue was about to change his pants, a very cold sentence came from behind: "Who the hell are you calling a pervert? Huh?"
Zhou Jue lost his footing and fell directly to the ground with half of his trousers hanging on his knees, while Chen Hao looked at his funny appearance with great interest.Zhou Jue felt that he had lost both face and pride. Thinking of all the grievances Chen Hao had caused him since the beginning of school, even a lukewarm water like him still had a boiling point.Now Zhou Jue was boiling, he stood up abruptly and said, "It's you, what's up!"
After Zhou Jue said this, he felt regretful.Chen Hao laughed even more. He closed the door and approached Zhou Jue little by little.There was no way for Zhou Jue to retreat, Chen Hao picked up Zhou Jue almost like he was catching a chicken, and threw him onto the bed, and then the turmoil ended after Zhou Jue received two punches, and he was nestled in a bed like a little daughter-in-law. Panting heavily in the corner, Chen Hao fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
The next morning, when Chen Hao opened the bedroom door, he found that Fat San was hiding behind the door and kept watching into the bedroom.Not sure what he was looking at.When Fat San saw the door suddenly opened, he was startled, and hurried out, but his eyes looked into the room more openly. Seeing that Zhou Jue was still lying on the bed, he scanned the entire bed like a radar ray, and found It was indeed very messy - he didn't know that on this bed, Zhou Jue had actually received two old punches because of one of his mischief, and his HP (life value) had become negative.
The Fat Three Ghost laughed, then bowed his head, like a chief eunuch, saying good morning to Chen Hao, while retreating.
After everyone had washed their faces, Zhou Jue finally recovered from the negative HP. He held his stomach and cursed in a low voice: "Damn you bastard, clean freak."
When the three of Zhou Jue returned to the dormitory building, it was almost twelve o'clock at noon, and the surroundings were bustling with students all preparing to go to the cafeteria for lunch. The noisy noise became the motivation of courage in the hearts of the three.Fat San swallowed and said, "Hey, is it still on the top?"
Zhou Jue looked down at the phone and said, "There are still 15 minutes until twelve o'clock, let's go up at twelve o'clock...be safer."
The three of them looked up at the small building, all the places were very noisy, but their dormitory was quiet, the windows were closed, and it was pitch black.
The three of them stood downstairs and waited until twelve o'clock before heading straight to the third floor like a death squad.The more they walked, the more uncertain their minds were, the more their brains couldn't think, and they went on a rampage, attracting many complaints and curses.
Zhou Jue came to the door first, holding the handle with cold sweat on his forehead.Fat San urged in a low voice: "Open the door quickly, what are you waiting for?"
Zhou Jue's eyes were terrified, and his whole body began to tremble slightly. He asked, "You... did you close the door last night?"
Fat San nodded, then shook his head again, actually he wasn't sure either.Zhou Jue smiled wryly and said, "The door is not closed, it seems inside..."
Before he could finish speaking, the door was suddenly opened from the inside.The one standing at the door was none other than the dead Feng Laojiu.He stood in front of them as if nothing had happened, but Zhou Jue found that the moment he met his eyes, his eyes seemed to have some strange luster flowing.
The three of them stood face to face with the man who was supposed to be dead for a few seconds, and finally Zhou Jue yelled loudly: "Ghost!" After speaking, he ran away, but Feng Laojiu grabbed his arm, and Zhou Jue turned his head again , and found that the two disloyal people had already rushed downstairs, and there were no traces of them.
He was dragged into the room by Feng Laojiu. Feng Laojiu's face was a little angry and puzzled: "What are you three doing? I haven't seen you for a semester. Seeing me is like seeing a ghost?"
Zhou Jue's brain froze when he saw him for the first time.Feng Laojiu closed the door and walked straight to his bed. He said to himself: "You guys are really good enough. Didn't I say that I will report for duty one month late. What's wrong? Here, I This time I went to Xinjiang and brought you something."
After finishing speaking, he stuffed a large bag of things into Zhou Jue's hands, but Zhou Jue was shaking so much that he couldn't hold it, and all the things in the bag fell to the ground. Only then did Zhou Jue react, and quickly said: "It's okay. , I'll do it." He bent down and found that this Feng Laojiu was not a ghost, he had feet.
Zhou Jue was so frightened that his back was soaked and his hair began to drip sweat.He chatted with this "Old Ninth" without saying a word, trembling.
Zhou Jue tentatively asked, "You said...you just came back?"
Zhou Jue couldn't see Feng Laojiu's face. With his back to Zhou Jue, he tidied up the bookshelves and said casually, "Yeah, I just came back. I didn't mean that I was going to Xinjiang, or that I was talking to you on the phone. Can you tell others for me?"
Zhou Jue questioned, "On the phone? When?"
Feng Laojiu still didn't turn around, he tidied up his things on his own, and said, "It's just before school starts, I called the place where you work..."
As soon as Feng Laojiu turned around, he heard the door slam shut, and Zhou Jue slipped out of the dormitory at the fastest speed, and Feng Laojiu's shout came from behind him.He didn't listen because he couldn't hear anything clearly now.He jumped out of the dormitory directly, the dazzling sunlight made him feel dazed and dizzy.He didn't know what the hell was going on, he felt like everything was repeating, he couldn't be sure of anything.IQ and EQ seem trivial in this sort of thing.Who else could he trust?His brain was in a mess, he tried to get out of this vicious circle with his hands on his forehead, he struggled to take a few steps, but finally fell helplessly on the ground and passed out.It turns out that people can really be stunned.
In the past, there was a kind of insect that relied on moonlight to determine its direction all its life, but they could not distinguish the difference between moonlight and firelight. When they thought it was the safest path, they were already walking on a dead end road and could not turn back. The correct navigation has become a track that ruins itself.
The name of this insect is moth.
So the eyes and the brain can sometimes lead to destruction. Some people say that I don't trust anyone but myself.But can you be so credible?Zhou Jue now feels that he can't trust himself.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the school infirmary with an infusion needle stuck in the back of his hand.He felt that his eyes were blurred, all the people were just white shadows, and the sound could not reach his ears at all, at most he could only hear a buzzing sound.
He closed his eyes and was not about to open them. At this moment, he felt a pair of cold hands covering his forehead, and harsh laughter came from his ears.He opened his eyes suddenly, and the hand disappeared instantly, as if no one had ever touched his forehead, but the cold feeling still stimulated his brain and skin.
He shouted, and soon someone came over, and gradually, he saw the surrounding scene.He saw Chen Hao first. Chen Hao leaned against his bed and looked at him coldly. His eyes were very cold, which reminded Zhou Jue of the temperature of that hand.
Zhou Jue looked at him, thought for a long time and asked, "Where are Fat San and Thin Monkey?"
Chen Hao wanted to smoke, but he gave up after thinking about it. He pointed to the door and said, "I dare not come in, lest you blame them."
Only then did Zhou Jue realize that the two boys left him and ran away.He sighed and shouted towards the door: "You two bastards, come in!"
Sure enough, there were footsteps coming from the door, and Fat San and Thin Monkey walked in like elementary school students who had made a mistake.Their expressions are awkward and funny.
Zhou Jue glared at the two of them, and asked, "How did he survive?"
Chen Hao sat down on a stool and said, "If I told you, he wasn't dead. What would you think?"
Zhou Jue felt another sharp pain on his forehead and stopped making any noise.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Fat San said, "This... is really evil! It is true that someone jumped off the building, but it was a buddy on the fifth floor. He failed the postgraduate entrance examination and could not help but end up on a dead end."
The thin monkey went on to say: "Actually, our building is not high, only the third floor. Even if we really fell, it is impossible to die so ugly..."
Zhou Jue felt that everything was so absurd, and he asked: "But we all saw that the one lying on the ground was indeed Lao Jiu, and Chen Hao also saw his ghost. Then where did this 'Lao Jiu' come from?" ?”
Everyone was speechless, and there was silence again.At this time, the health care doctor opened the door and came in, glanced at the saline bottle, and began to help Zhou Jue change the infusion needle.Zhou Jue felt a tingling pain, and a bean-sized blood drop oozed from the back of his hand.
After the health care doctor left, Chen Hao was the first to speak: "Actually, have you ever thought that this Feng Laojiu is the real one?"
Fat San asked, "What do you mean?"
Chen Haodao: "That is to say, the one who stayed with you for a month before is fake. What is he...?"
Zhou Jue was gripped by his words, his head began to ache sharply again, and he had an urge to vomit, which made him groan a few times.Everyone looked at him worriedly, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, this old nine said that he called the library before school started, and I answered the phone..."
Fat San asked, "Did you take it?"
Uncertainty flashed across Zhou Jue's eyes, he shook his head and said, "No, I haven't."
Then no one answered a word, and everyone knew one thing very well, that is: if Zhou Jue is not crazy, or everyone is crazy.Because there is no way to explain this chaos except madness.
Zhou Jue felt that all internal organs in his body were sinking, and he leaned weakly on the bed.At this time, the "Old Ninth" who everyone regarded as a nightmare walked into the room.
Fat San wriggled his body and forced himself to squeeze behind the thin monkey who was much thinner than him.Seeing everyone staring at him like a ghost, Feng Laojiu touched his chin, blinked his eyes and said, "What's wrong with me? What happened to you? What's the matter with you, second child? I just asked you to bring a few Pack raisins for the brothers, and you run away and faint. What's the matter?"
No one answered his words, and Feng Laojiu's bad temper was also brought up. He threw three packs of raisins on the table and walked out.Zhou Jue felt that this was not an option, so he shouted at the top of his voice, "Old...Old Jiu, don't go, this matter, hey, you come back to me first."
Feng Laojiu frowned and turned his head reluctantly, his face stretched longer than that of a horse.Zhou Jue gave Fat San a wink, and Fat San smiled quickly and said to Feng Lao Jiu: "Hey, Lao Jiu, look at you, you don't know what happened here, so you are sullen. You Look at your temper."
Feng Laojiu looked at Zhou Jue's face, sat on the stool after thinking about it for a while, pushed his glasses, tilted his head, panted heavily, with a look of grievance and anger, this cannot be faked, and this kind of temperament is exactly Feng Old nine.
Zhou Jue was not sure, but Chen Hao, who was the only one who could analyze the problem better than him, didn't say a word. He was silent as if there was no such person. Zhou Jue glanced at him, but Chen Hao just stared at the few packets of raisins.Zhou Jue knew that he couldn't count on him, so he rolled his eyes and immediately showed an extremely weak look. He waved at Feng Laojiu. She moved her shoulders, and finally walked over to him.Zhou Jue's face was already pale, but it wasn't an act, he was terrified.
Zhou Jue said out of breath, "Old Jiu, you don't know what happened to us in the past month! That's definitely not how people live."
Feng Laojiu saw that his eyes were indeed flickering with fear and uneasiness, and he was not pretending, so he felt a little guilty, and adjusted his attitude and said, "What's going on? How did you guys...become like this?"
Zhou Jue observed this old nine, he did not show any flaws at all, if he is an actor, he is definitely at the level of a movie king.This can only show that he is really the old nine.So the dead one...was fake?
Zhou Jue couldn't figure it out, but he still didn't give up the temptation. He licked his lips and told him about the book and the dead old nine.When it comes to things related to Lao Jiu, Zhou Jue has been staring at his eyes, as long as he has a weird look, Zhou Jue can catch him, but when Zhou Jue finished the matter, Lao Jiu was just a little dull , he didn't react.This made Zhou Jue's heart flutter, and after saying these things, he couldn't find an ending word.
After listening, Feng Laojiu's face was a little distorted. He smiled and said, "Second brother, are you making up a story? Are you going to write a novel?"
But he was the only one who was laughing dryly, and everyone else's faces were tense.It was only then that Feng Laojiu realized that everyone still doubted him, and no one was worried about him.Only then did he regain his seriousness, and said, "I really haven't been here for a month. If you still have doubts, you can go to Xinjiang to inquire. I still have the stub of the bus ticket here."
Fat San shrugged his shoulders and said to everyone: "What's the matter? Old Nine
Fat San took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket and said, "It's not just weird, she's the mysterious red-haired girl. What is her origin?"
Seeing that the two of them were no longer reading, the thin monkey urged: "Don't stop, keep going! Keep reading."
Zhou Jue was about to open the novel again, when suddenly a wolf roar came from the mobile phone, so frightened that Fat San's cigarette ash burned his cheek, he scolded: "Zhou Er Er! It's an extraordinary time, can you change your call sound, you Come to a heart sutra or something, you don't have... I will pass it to you via Bluetooth!"
Zhou Jue raised his head and scolded: "You didn't send me the music of Dances with Wolves, why don't you fucking say that you are the culprit?"
Fat San held back for a long time and couldn't answer, Zhou Jue shook his head at him with the eyes of "my lord doesn't care about you as a villain".He picked up the phone and found that it was an unfamiliar number. After hesitating for a moment, he still picked up the phone. It was very quiet on the other end of the phone. Zhou Jue heard footsteps and felt a person coming from a distance.Zhou Jue turned his head and glanced at his two brothers, and the two behind him were asking if it was Chen Hao who called.
Zhou Jue gave a guilty conscience, but there was no echo from the other end.Gradually, the footsteps stopped, followed by the sound of the door opening and closing, then the sound of a chair being moved, as if someone had sat down, and then the sound of heavy breathing and liquid dripping on the floor.
Zhou Jue swallowed his saliva, when there was a sound of shutting down the phone suddenly, Zhou Jue's phone turned off automatically.Zhou Jue broke out in a cold sweat. He licked his lips, forced a smile, looked at Fat San and Thin Monkey and said, "I guess... probably the battery is out."
The two cut each other, but Zhou Jue knew in his heart that the phone's battery was actually full.He sneakily turned on the phone again and put it in his pocket.
The two asked: "So, what did you hear before the power went out? Was it Chen Hao?"
Zhou Jue supported his forehead and said, "I don't know, no one spoke, the movement over there felt like someone entered a place and sat down, and then the phone was turned off."
Fat San's forehead was covered with sweat, while Thin Monkey looked blank.At this moment, there was another wolf howl, which made the three of them jump up at the same time.Fat San cried and patted his plump face and said, "I will give you these things in the future, and I will write Li characters backwards."
Zhou Jue thought it was the strange voice from the front, he didn't speak, and there was no sound from the other end, and after about half a minute, Chen Hao's voice came from the other end, and his boss said unhappily: "Hey, are you still alive? ? Don't keep panting, boy."
When Zhou Jue heard that it was Chen Hao's voice, he almost let out all the breath in his abdominal cavity. He sighed and said, "Teacher, why don't you keep silent? Don't you know that people who scare people can scare people to death?"
Chen Hao said depressedly: "Who is scaring whom? Well, tell me, where is your dormitory? I can't remember where you are at the moment."
Zhou Jue said: "306, you go to the last row of houses, there is a stinky ditch next to it, which is our nest."
Chen Hao was amused by his description, but then he fell silent again.Zhou Jue fed it several times before Chen Hao said, "Have you read that book?"
Zhou Jue's hair stood on end again, he hummed vaguely, Chen Hao didn't say anything, just hung up the phone.Zhou Jue vaguely felt that this kid heard something on the phone.
In less than 5 minutes, Zhou Jue and the others heard a rapid knock on the door, and when they opened the door, it turned out to be Chen Hao.He didn't have an umbrella, and was drenched all over, and his hair felt a bit unruly when it was pasted on his forehead.However, soon this unruly handsome boy's eyes widened instantly, almost the eyeballs were about to pop out of his sockets.
He grabbed Zhou Jue's shoulder, and Zhou Jue pressed his whole body against his chest.Seeing this, Fat San yelled something like "Lang Lang Qian Kun, teacher, why are you robbing people in front of us".
However, Chen Hao dragged Zhou Jue's collar and ran all the way without looking back, and Zhou Jue was led by him like a chicken.Seeing this, Fat San and Skinny Monkey hurriedly asked Chen Hao what was wrong, but Chen Hao just left without agreeing. The two of them couldn't figure out the situation, so they had to run out together.Several people went downstairs together and got into the heavy rain, and the rain hit their faces frantically.
Zhou Jue shook off Chen Hao's hand, wiped his face and said, "What's going on?"
Chen Hao's eyes looked like he saw a ghost, he pointed to the window of the dormitory upstairs and said, "Is Feng Xiang really dead?"
Zhou Jue nodded, but from Chen Hao's eyes, he seemed to know the meaning of his question.At this moment, Fat San and Skinny Monkey also followed, and they shouted, "What are you doing?"
Zhou Jue ignored them and continued to ask Chen Hao, "What did you see?"
Chen Hao wanted to light a cigarette, but it was too rainy, so he couldn't light it a few times. He squeezed out the cigarette and said, "I called you earlier, and found that there was a person on the phone talking silently beside you all the time.'Continue Look, let's go on the road together, there must be no one in the ring of seven'."
Zhou Jue took a few steps back, and the thin monkey behind him supported him.Zhou Jue said, "Then what did you see just now?"
Chen Hao said: "I saw a man sitting by the window in your dormitory just now, staring at you all the time. His head was covered with wounds, and blood was dripping on the floor."
Hearing this, Fat San behind him didn't stand still, and sat directly on the ground.Zhou Jue also felt his legs were weak and dizzy, and Fat San lay on the ground, as if his strength to sit was exhausted, and his whole body trembled into a ball.
Chen Hao looked at Zhou Jue and said, "Go to my house first. It seems that if we don't do it, there will be no chance for us to do it."
This proposal is perfect for them now, because indeed no one dares to go back.However, the thin monkey stood still and did not leave. The rain hit his face. He pursed his lips, stood stiffly in the rain and said, "The book...the book is on top."
Fat San wailed and shouted, "You didn't take it?"
The thin monkey glared at Fat San angrily, but Fat San was too guilty to speak.Chen Hao pursed his lips and said, "This book will come back to us sooner or later, and no one who has read it can escape. Don't worry, it's too risky to go back now."
So the four of them hailed a taxi and went straight to Chen Hao's house.Chen Hao's parents are not in this city, and the house is not too small, enough for Zhou Jue and three big men to stay here for a night.Chen Hao took out dry clothes for them, pointed to the bathroom and said, "Go take a shower, or you'll catch a cold."
The four of them took turns to take a hot bath, and then Chen Hao asked the three of them to come to his study. He sat on the chair with his arms crossed, crossed his legs and said, "I have unlocked the code."
The three of them were shocked when they heard this.Zhou Jue said with a dry smile, "Brother Chen, are you sure? Are you kidding me?"
Chen Hao took out a stack of papers from a drawer of the desk, and he quickly wrote down the string of passwords:
5P-3C-I3436-368742.
Chen Hao read while writing: "Fifth row, third floor, I3436-368742..."
Zhou Jue immediately understood the meaning of this string of passwords.He exclaimed: "The four-corner number! Your sister is actually talking about the location of a book!"
The four-corner number is one of the commonly used search methods in Chinese dictionaries. It uses up to five Arabic numerals to classify Chinese characters.The four-corner number indexing method uses numbers 0 to 9 to represent the ten strokes of the four corners of a Chinese character, and sometimes adds a complement at the end. In fact, it is a number commonly used in library code management.Usually, when you enter a new book, you will check the four-corner number of the author of the new book, and then write the number on the book for easy search and management.Zhou Jue, who used to work in the library, naturally understood immediately.
The thin monkey looked at the code with his head propped up and said, "Could it be that the code refers to a book in the library where Zhou Jue works part-time?"
Fat San continued, "Look for it tomorrow? As long as we find that book, we can find clues?"
Chen Hao threw down his pen and said, "No need, I know the content of that book, so I also know what my sister wants to say to us."
Thin Monkey and Fat San looked at him puzzled and asked, "Have you looked for it?"
Chen Hao shook his head and was about to speak, but Zhou Jue stopped him. Zhou Jue looked at Chen Hao vigilantly and said, "Brother Chen, I think I have to figure out one thing first."
Chen Hao snorted, Zhou Jue stared at the code on the paper and said, "What I want to ask is, are you meddling in this matter only because of your sister?"
As soon as he finished speaking, six eyes stared at Zhou Jue at the same time.Zhou Jue was unmoved, he shrugged his shoulders, wiped his hair with a towel, and said in a very flat tone: "First of all, we only know that your sister is missing, which is true, but everything else is through you. It came out of my mouth. I believe it, but if I don't say it, my buddy can't say it, and that is, what role did you play in this matter? You know what we know, but You know, we can only learn about it through your mouth. To be honest, I think that such an unimaginable and dangerous thing, ordinary people will not get involved. "
After Zhou Jue casually said these words, Fat San and Thin Monkey were already standing beside him, and the three of them faced Chen Hao in a line.Chen Hao looked at them motionless, his eyes were very calm, even a little appreciative and playful.
Both sides wanted to see something in the other's eyes, but they couldn't do it.Finally Zhou Jue smiled softly: "Hehe, actually I have nothing else to do, I just think you are too concerned about this matter, and the evidence is too weak."
Chen Hao sneered and said, "You think I have another purpose?"
Zhou Jue shook his head, this time he didn't smile, but looked at him with a very indifferent look and said, "I don't think so, I'm sure."
When Chen Hao heard this, he burst into laughter. He looked at Zhou Jue with a smile, shook his shoulders and said, "I really like you more and more, kid, you really look like my sister."
Zhou Jue tilted his head and said, "How do you say that?"
Chen Hao leaned back, changed his foot and crossed Erlang's leg and said: "It's nothing, you like to use some tricks to test people like my sister, you want to test whether I have something to hide from you. Don't you Trust me so you need me to be forced to confess."
After Zhou Jue heard his words, a trace of surprise finally flashed in his eyes. Although it was only a flash, it couldn't escape Chen Hao's eyes.Chen Hao smiled slightly at him, and Zhou Jue knew that it was pointless to try again, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "Sure enough, it's Brother Chen, he's an old man, it seems that he can only tell you the truth, but in fact, I really think It's a little strange, why do you care so much about this matter. You must know more than that. Just tell us, we don't know what to do now."
Chen Hao didn't expect Zhou Jue's mood to change so quickly, he was a little confused by his sudden confession, he sighed and pulled out a notebook from the bookshelf, and said: "This is my sister's diary, which is also her diary. Leave me the only information."
Zhou Jue took the notebook, and Chen Hao indicated that they could read it.The diary is indeed similar to what Chen Hao said, almost nothing about the novel was mentioned.Zhou Jue quickly lost his patience, he simply turned to the last page, which was the last diary entry of the owner of the diary.
◎◎◎
I really have no way to wait any longer, I have read two-thirds of the novel, too much content and puzzles make me feel confused, I am very scared.I'm a madman right now, I can't tell reality from fiction, I don't know what's real and what's not, I need someone to help me.
I'm stuck, what should I do?Two ghosts reached out to me at the same time, which side should I reach out to?I can't wait any longer, I'm one of the seven, and the other six are still waiting for me, maybe they're dead long ago, but it's okay, there will be a replacement, like if I die, maybe my little brother is me the successor.I have to get that token, find it... no, no!Once you go, you can't come back... Go find it, it belongs to you, and with it, you will have the key to solve all mysteries.No... go find it, don't hesitate!
◎◎◎
This passage really looks like it was written by a lunatic. Zhou Jue felt a kind of contradiction, as if there were two souls. They took turns controlling sister Chen Hao’s thoughts, and the soul that encouraged her seemed to have the upper hand. In the end, Chen Hao My sister did go looking for it.
Chen Hao looked at Zhou Jue's face, and he said, "You will be like her, including your two classmates."
Fat San asked first: "Are you so sure?"
Chen Hao turned to look at him and said, "Yes, definitely."
Fat San couldn't control his emotions, so he could only keep giggling. He looked at Zhou Jue and Thin Monkey next to him, and said, "Why do you say that? You haven't touched that bullshit book until now." , don’t you stand and talk without back pain? That’s right, the second child is right, we don’t believe you, why should we believe you?”
The thin monkey didn't help, he just looked into Chen Hao's eyes silently, he was the most silent and straightforward among these people, he didn't talk much, but every sentence was very pertinent, he didn't speak now, just Because he was waiting for the trust from Chen Hao.
But Zhou Jue's thoughts are much more detailed and complicated than theirs. Apart from distrusting Chen Hao, he also wants to know all the information Chen Hao knows.He understands that blindly trusting blindly will only mess up things in the end, and trust is generated when both parties are equal.
Chen Hao still kept his sitting posture, and he said: ""Kilimanjaro", this book is the book numbered I3436. Maybe you don't believe it, but I can indeed remember a lot of things, which is what I have to do every day. The reason for taking sleeping pills and regular acupuncture to fall asleep. My memory ability is about sixty times that of yours. My sister disappeared five years ago, so I can tell the order of all the books in the library five years ago."
Everyone gasped, and Zhou Jue hummed, indicating that he had heard about it a long time ago.Then Chen Hao continued: "According to the first few password numbers, I found this book according to my memory, and the latter 368742 made me spend some time. I made a lot of arrangements, but there was no way to integrate them. Later I I found out that this number is actually very simple, my sister will not complicate things, so I think in the most direct way."
Fat San asked, "What do you think?"
Chen Hao turned on the computer, and searched out the book "Kilimanjaro" on Baidu, and then he said: "In order, the third word, the sixth word, the eighth word, the seventh word, No The two words .40, when combined, mean 'seven people's meeting, meeting of life and death'."
Fat San read out these six words, and stood there for a long time: "What do you mean?"
The thin monkey also read these six words silently, but Zhou Jue didn't read it, he seemed to understand what Chen Hao meant, he raised his head and said, "How many people have read this novel?"
Chen Hao pointed his finger in satisfaction and said, "If you were a woman, maybe I would fall in love with you. That's right, at least seven people will read this book every time, counting my sister, you, fat three, thin monkey, The old Jiu who just died, and two other people, two people we don't know."
The thin monkey was also enlightened. He slapped the table and said, "That is to say, we are the so-called seven people in the book? Seven people ring?"
Fat San sighed, sat back to his original position and said, "That's not right, it's said in the novel that if a person dies, the next person must take over. It feels like a baton. So when the old nine dies, who will take over? "
Zhou Jue continued to ask: "And let's not mention those we don't know for the time being, there is another thing that makes me feel very strange. In the novel, Lin Xu and Cuiniang both ate fish, why didn't they get poisoned to death?" ? Instead, the monkey possessed by the man’s ghost, that is, Chi, was poisoned to death. What does this mean?”
Fat San and Thin Monkey shook their heads, and finally all three turned their gazes back to Chen Hao.Chen Hao smiled slightly and said, "Check, do you have the courage to investigate?"
The three said at the same time: "Check?"
"That's right, go and find out whether there is a ghost or someone pretending to be a ghost, the origin of this book, and the other two mysterious readers. You need to investigate, and the other breakthrough is the novel itself, okay, Get some sleep first. Go back to the dormitory tomorrow and see if the book is still there."
When it comes to sleeping, Zhou Jue realizes a problem, that is, although this place is spacious, there are only three bedrooms.One master bedroom belonged to Chen Hao's parents, and Chen Hao refused to let it out.The other one belonged to Chen Hao, and he was very reluctant to do so.The last one belonged to his missing elder sister, and they swore they would never sleep.One sleeps on the sofa, one sleeps on the floor, and the other one is lost.Chen Hao thought of the bathtub shamelessly, and the thin monkey jumped up first, saying that he could not be allowed to sleep in the bathtub just because he was short.
After tossing until midnight, Chen Hao finally let go, and Zhou Jue slept with him in the back room.This actually aroused strong dissatisfaction from the other two, as well as Fat San's meaningful ridicule.
The clock rang three dull sounds, warning everyone that if they don't sleep now, they will all have panda eyes tomorrow.Zhou Jue followed Chen Hao into his room. At this time, Chen Hao had already changed into dark blue pajamas, and he was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses. It turned out that he was actually short-sighted, but usually wore contact lenses.At this time, he looked more like Zhou Jue's peers. He pointed to the bed in the room and said, "You sleep in it, I'll come later."
Zhou Jue snorted, and was about to go to bed when Chen Hao grabbed him.Zhou Jue looked at him vigilantly. Ever since Zhou Jue heard Fat San's intentional or unintentional nonsense, he felt a little uncomfortable about this kind of scene, but he was very clear that he didn't belong to that kind of person, but he didn't know that Chen Hao ...
Chen Hao pointed to his feet and said, "You take off your socks and then get into the bed, I don't want to smell the smell of stinky socks."
Zhou Jue blushed when he was told, it was true that he hadn’t changed his socks for several days... He lowered his head and squinted at Chen Hao secretly, Chen Hao frowned and asked him what was wrong, Zhou Jue coughed a few times in embarrassment and said : "Then Brother Chen... Do you want to change your underwear?"
In fact, Zhou Jue's words are three parts questioning and seven parts ironic, and most people will react a little when they hear his words.To Zhou Jue's surprise, Chen Hao, as if reminded, oh, and patted his head as if he forgot something.He turned and went to the cabinet, opened a pair of unworn white underwear from inside, and threw it to Zhou Jue: "I almost forgot this, you can change it, don't pay me back, I will give it to you."
Zhou Jue blushed like a tomato after being teased by him like this. He felt that this person's cleanliness and hospitality style belonged to a certain distant planet in the Milky Way. In short, it was [-] million light years away from the people on Earth. .He took the underwear with a sneer, and Chen Hao went out after speaking.Zhou Jue turned around and murmured in a low voice: "It's really a hairy thing, there is no one who gives away underwear, it's really a psychopath."
Unexpectedly, just when Zhou Jue was about to change his pants, a very cold sentence came from behind: "Who the hell are you calling a pervert? Huh?"
Zhou Jue lost his footing and fell directly to the ground with half of his trousers hanging on his knees, while Chen Hao looked at his funny appearance with great interest.Zhou Jue felt that he had lost both face and pride. Thinking of all the grievances Chen Hao had caused him since the beginning of school, even a lukewarm water like him still had a boiling point.Now Zhou Jue was boiling, he stood up abruptly and said, "It's you, what's up!"
After Zhou Jue said this, he felt regretful.Chen Hao laughed even more. He closed the door and approached Zhou Jue little by little.There was no way for Zhou Jue to retreat, Chen Hao picked up Zhou Jue almost like he was catching a chicken, and threw him onto the bed, and then the turmoil ended after Zhou Jue received two punches, and he was nestled in a bed like a little daughter-in-law. Panting heavily in the corner, Chen Hao fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
The next morning, when Chen Hao opened the bedroom door, he found that Fat San was hiding behind the door and kept watching into the bedroom.Not sure what he was looking at.When Fat San saw the door suddenly opened, he was startled, and hurried out, but his eyes looked into the room more openly. Seeing that Zhou Jue was still lying on the bed, he scanned the entire bed like a radar ray, and found It was indeed very messy - he didn't know that on this bed, Zhou Jue had actually received two old punches because of one of his mischief, and his HP (life value) had become negative.
The Fat Three Ghost laughed, then bowed his head, like a chief eunuch, saying good morning to Chen Hao, while retreating.
After everyone had washed their faces, Zhou Jue finally recovered from the negative HP. He held his stomach and cursed in a low voice: "Damn you bastard, clean freak."
When the three of Zhou Jue returned to the dormitory building, it was almost twelve o'clock at noon, and the surroundings were bustling with students all preparing to go to the cafeteria for lunch. The noisy noise became the motivation of courage in the hearts of the three.Fat San swallowed and said, "Hey, is it still on the top?"
Zhou Jue looked down at the phone and said, "There are still 15 minutes until twelve o'clock, let's go up at twelve o'clock...be safer."
The three of them looked up at the small building, all the places were very noisy, but their dormitory was quiet, the windows were closed, and it was pitch black.
The three of them stood downstairs and waited until twelve o'clock before heading straight to the third floor like a death squad.The more they walked, the more uncertain their minds were, the more their brains couldn't think, and they went on a rampage, attracting many complaints and curses.
Zhou Jue came to the door first, holding the handle with cold sweat on his forehead.Fat San urged in a low voice: "Open the door quickly, what are you waiting for?"
Zhou Jue's eyes were terrified, and his whole body began to tremble slightly. He asked, "You... did you close the door last night?"
Fat San nodded, then shook his head again, actually he wasn't sure either.Zhou Jue smiled wryly and said, "The door is not closed, it seems inside..."
Before he could finish speaking, the door was suddenly opened from the inside.The one standing at the door was none other than the dead Feng Laojiu.He stood in front of them as if nothing had happened, but Zhou Jue found that the moment he met his eyes, his eyes seemed to have some strange luster flowing.
The three of them stood face to face with the man who was supposed to be dead for a few seconds, and finally Zhou Jue yelled loudly: "Ghost!" After speaking, he ran away, but Feng Laojiu grabbed his arm, and Zhou Jue turned his head again , and found that the two disloyal people had already rushed downstairs, and there were no traces of them.
He was dragged into the room by Feng Laojiu. Feng Laojiu's face was a little angry and puzzled: "What are you three doing? I haven't seen you for a semester. Seeing me is like seeing a ghost?"
Zhou Jue's brain froze when he saw him for the first time.Feng Laojiu closed the door and walked straight to his bed. He said to himself: "You guys are really good enough. Didn't I say that I will report for duty one month late. What's wrong? Here, I This time I went to Xinjiang and brought you something."
After finishing speaking, he stuffed a large bag of things into Zhou Jue's hands, but Zhou Jue was shaking so much that he couldn't hold it, and all the things in the bag fell to the ground. Only then did Zhou Jue react, and quickly said: "It's okay. , I'll do it." He bent down and found that this Feng Laojiu was not a ghost, he had feet.
Zhou Jue was so frightened that his back was soaked and his hair began to drip sweat.He chatted with this "Old Ninth" without saying a word, trembling.
Zhou Jue tentatively asked, "You said...you just came back?"
Zhou Jue couldn't see Feng Laojiu's face. With his back to Zhou Jue, he tidied up the bookshelves and said casually, "Yeah, I just came back. I didn't mean that I was going to Xinjiang, or that I was talking to you on the phone. Can you tell others for me?"
Zhou Jue questioned, "On the phone? When?"
Feng Laojiu still didn't turn around, he tidied up his things on his own, and said, "It's just before school starts, I called the place where you work..."
As soon as Feng Laojiu turned around, he heard the door slam shut, and Zhou Jue slipped out of the dormitory at the fastest speed, and Feng Laojiu's shout came from behind him.He didn't listen because he couldn't hear anything clearly now.He jumped out of the dormitory directly, the dazzling sunlight made him feel dazed and dizzy.He didn't know what the hell was going on, he felt like everything was repeating, he couldn't be sure of anything.IQ and EQ seem trivial in this sort of thing.Who else could he trust?His brain was in a mess, he tried to get out of this vicious circle with his hands on his forehead, he struggled to take a few steps, but finally fell helplessly on the ground and passed out.It turns out that people can really be stunned.
In the past, there was a kind of insect that relied on moonlight to determine its direction all its life, but they could not distinguish the difference between moonlight and firelight. When they thought it was the safest path, they were already walking on a dead end road and could not turn back. The correct navigation has become a track that ruins itself.
The name of this insect is moth.
So the eyes and the brain can sometimes lead to destruction. Some people say that I don't trust anyone but myself.But can you be so credible?Zhou Jue now feels that he can't trust himself.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the school infirmary with an infusion needle stuck in the back of his hand.He felt that his eyes were blurred, all the people were just white shadows, and the sound could not reach his ears at all, at most he could only hear a buzzing sound.
He closed his eyes and was not about to open them. At this moment, he felt a pair of cold hands covering his forehead, and harsh laughter came from his ears.He opened his eyes suddenly, and the hand disappeared instantly, as if no one had ever touched his forehead, but the cold feeling still stimulated his brain and skin.
He shouted, and soon someone came over, and gradually, he saw the surrounding scene.He saw Chen Hao first. Chen Hao leaned against his bed and looked at him coldly. His eyes were very cold, which reminded Zhou Jue of the temperature of that hand.
Zhou Jue looked at him, thought for a long time and asked, "Where are Fat San and Thin Monkey?"
Chen Hao wanted to smoke, but he gave up after thinking about it. He pointed to the door and said, "I dare not come in, lest you blame them."
Only then did Zhou Jue realize that the two boys left him and ran away.He sighed and shouted towards the door: "You two bastards, come in!"
Sure enough, there were footsteps coming from the door, and Fat San and Thin Monkey walked in like elementary school students who had made a mistake.Their expressions are awkward and funny.
Zhou Jue glared at the two of them, and asked, "How did he survive?"
Chen Hao sat down on a stool and said, "If I told you, he wasn't dead. What would you think?"
Zhou Jue felt another sharp pain on his forehead and stopped making any noise.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Fat San said, "This... is really evil! It is true that someone jumped off the building, but it was a buddy on the fifth floor. He failed the postgraduate entrance examination and could not help but end up on a dead end."
The thin monkey went on to say: "Actually, our building is not high, only the third floor. Even if we really fell, it is impossible to die so ugly..."
Zhou Jue felt that everything was so absurd, and he asked: "But we all saw that the one lying on the ground was indeed Lao Jiu, and Chen Hao also saw his ghost. Then where did this 'Lao Jiu' come from?" ?”
Everyone was speechless, and there was silence again.At this time, the health care doctor opened the door and came in, glanced at the saline bottle, and began to help Zhou Jue change the infusion needle.Zhou Jue felt a tingling pain, and a bean-sized blood drop oozed from the back of his hand.
After the health care doctor left, Chen Hao was the first to speak: "Actually, have you ever thought that this Feng Laojiu is the real one?"
Fat San asked, "What do you mean?"
Chen Haodao: "That is to say, the one who stayed with you for a month before is fake. What is he...?"
Zhou Jue was gripped by his words, his head began to ache sharply again, and he had an urge to vomit, which made him groan a few times.Everyone looked at him worriedly, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, this old nine said that he called the library before school started, and I answered the phone..."
Fat San asked, "Did you take it?"
Uncertainty flashed across Zhou Jue's eyes, he shook his head and said, "No, I haven't."
Then no one answered a word, and everyone knew one thing very well, that is: if Zhou Jue is not crazy, or everyone is crazy.Because there is no way to explain this chaos except madness.
Zhou Jue felt that all internal organs in his body were sinking, and he leaned weakly on the bed.At this time, the "Old Ninth" who everyone regarded as a nightmare walked into the room.
Fat San wriggled his body and forced himself to squeeze behind the thin monkey who was much thinner than him.Seeing everyone staring at him like a ghost, Feng Laojiu touched his chin, blinked his eyes and said, "What's wrong with me? What happened to you? What's the matter with you, second child? I just asked you to bring a few Pack raisins for the brothers, and you run away and faint. What's the matter?"
No one answered his words, and Feng Laojiu's bad temper was also brought up. He threw three packs of raisins on the table and walked out.Zhou Jue felt that this was not an option, so he shouted at the top of his voice, "Old...Old Jiu, don't go, this matter, hey, you come back to me first."
Feng Laojiu frowned and turned his head reluctantly, his face stretched longer than that of a horse.Zhou Jue gave Fat San a wink, and Fat San smiled quickly and said to Feng Lao Jiu: "Hey, Lao Jiu, look at you, you don't know what happened here, so you are sullen. You Look at your temper."
Feng Laojiu looked at Zhou Jue's face, sat on the stool after thinking about it for a while, pushed his glasses, tilted his head, panted heavily, with a look of grievance and anger, this cannot be faked, and this kind of temperament is exactly Feng Old nine.
Zhou Jue was not sure, but Chen Hao, who was the only one who could analyze the problem better than him, didn't say a word. He was silent as if there was no such person. Zhou Jue glanced at him, but Chen Hao just stared at the few packets of raisins.Zhou Jue knew that he couldn't count on him, so he rolled his eyes and immediately showed an extremely weak look. He waved at Feng Laojiu. She moved her shoulders, and finally walked over to him.Zhou Jue's face was already pale, but it wasn't an act, he was terrified.
Zhou Jue said out of breath, "Old Jiu, you don't know what happened to us in the past month! That's definitely not how people live."
Feng Laojiu saw that his eyes were indeed flickering with fear and uneasiness, and he was not pretending, so he felt a little guilty, and adjusted his attitude and said, "What's going on? How did you guys...become like this?"
Zhou Jue observed this old nine, he did not show any flaws at all, if he is an actor, he is definitely at the level of a movie king.This can only show that he is really the old nine.So the dead one...was fake?
Zhou Jue couldn't figure it out, but he still didn't give up the temptation. He licked his lips and told him about the book and the dead old nine.When it comes to things related to Lao Jiu, Zhou Jue has been staring at his eyes, as long as he has a weird look, Zhou Jue can catch him, but when Zhou Jue finished the matter, Lao Jiu was just a little dull , he didn't react.This made Zhou Jue's heart flutter, and after saying these things, he couldn't find an ending word.
After listening, Feng Laojiu's face was a little distorted. He smiled and said, "Second brother, are you making up a story? Are you going to write a novel?"
But he was the only one who was laughing dryly, and everyone else's faces were tense.It was only then that Feng Laojiu realized that everyone still doubted him, and no one was worried about him.Only then did he regain his seriousness, and said, "I really haven't been here for a month. If you still have doubts, you can go to Xinjiang to inquire. I still have the stub of the bus ticket here."
Fat San shrugged his shoulders and said to everyone: "What's the matter? Old Nine
