Ring of Seven [Online Version]

Zhou Jue stopped reading, he looked at Shou Hou 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. This bitch...what is her origin?"

Seeing that the two of them were not reading, the thin monkey urged, "Don't stop, keep going. Keep reading."

And Zhou Jue hadn't started flipping through the book when suddenly a wolf roar came from the phone.Fat San was so frightened that the cigarette ash burned his cheeks, he scolded: "Zhou Er Er! Can you turn off your call tone at an emergency? Come to a piece of Boromi Heart Sutra or something, you didn't... I have bluetooth you!"

Zhou Jue raised his head and scolded: "Fuck, you forgot that you didn't send me the music of Dances with Wolves? Why don't you fucking say that you are the culprit?"

Fat San hid for a long time and couldn't reply. Zhou Jue shook his head at him with a look on his face that I don't care about you. He picked up the phone and found that it was an unfamiliar number. After hesitating for a moment, he still answered the phone The other end of the phone was very quiet, Zhou Jue heard footsteps slowly, and felt a person coming from a distance.Zhou Jue turned his head and glanced at his two brothers, and the two behind them were asking if it was Chen Hao who called.

Zhou Jue gave a guilty conscience, but there was no echo from the other side, and gradually the footsteps stopped, and then there was a sound of the door opening, and then closing.Then there was the sound of a chair being moved, as if someone had sat down.Then there was only a very slight sound, like the sound of breathing, and the sound of liquid dripping on the ground.

Zhou Jue followed the saliva, and then there was a sound of shutting down the phone, and Zhou Jue's phone turned off automatically.This frightened Zhou Jue into a cold sweat. He licked his lips and forcefully withdrew a smile, looked at Fat San and Thin Monkey and said, "I guess... probably the battery is out."

The two snorted, but Zhou Jue knew in his heart that the phone's battery was actually full.He reassured that it was just a problem with the quality of the mobile phone, and made up his mind to buy a high-end one.He sneakily turned on the phone again and put it in his pocket.

The two asked: "Then what did you hear before the power went out? Was it Chen Hao?"

Zhou Jue covered his forehead and said, "I don't know. No one spoke. It feels like someone entered a place and sat down. Then the phone was turned off."

Fat San's forehead was covered with sweat, while Thin Monkey had a dazed expression on his face.Then there was that wolf howl, which scared the three of them to their feet at the same time. Fat San looked at the phone with a mournful face, and he patted his fat face and said, "If I give you these things in the future, I'll give you the money." write."

Zhou Jue thought it was the strange voice from the front, he didn't speak, and there was no sound from the other end, until about half a minute later, Chen Hao's voice came from the other end, he always said unhappily: "Hey, you are still alive Huh? Don't keep panting, boy."

When Zhou Jue heard that it was Chen Hao's voice, he almost emptied all the breath in his abdominal cavity. He sighed and said, "Teacher, why don't you just keep quiet? 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 row of houses at the back, there is a stinky water bank next to it, which is our nest."

Chen Hao was amused by his description, but then he fell into silence again. Zhou Jue fed him several times before Chen Hao said, "Have you read that book?"

Zhou Jue's capillary stood up again, he hummed vaguely, Chen Hao didn't say anything, just hung up the phone.Zhou Jue vaguely felt that the kid heard something on the phone.

In less than 5 minutes, they heard a hasty knock on the door. When they opened the door, it was indeed Chen Hao. He was not holding an umbrella, and his body was drenched. His hair stuck in front of his eyes, which seemed a bit unruly. The unruly handsome boy's eyes widened instantly, almost eyeballs popping out of his sockets.

As soon as he grabbed Zhou Jue's shoulders, Zhou Jue stuck to his chest with his whole body, and then he heard Fat San behind him yelling something loud and clear, teacher, why are you robbing people in front of us.

Then 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.Fat San and Thin Monkey followed behind. The two of them couldn't figure out the situation, so they also ran out together.They followed Chen Hao and rushed downstairs, carrying them into the heavy rain.The rain beat wildly on their faces.

Zhou Jue shook off Chen Hao's hand, wiped his face and said, "What's wrong with you? Why are you dragging us away?"

Chen Hao's eyes almost 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 Thin Monkey also followed, and they scolded: "Fuck, what are you doing?"

Zhou Jue didn't listen to Fat San's nonsense, he asked, "What did you see?"

Chen Hao wanted to light a cigarette, but the rain was too heavy and the cigarette light failed several times. He squeezed out the cigarette and said, "I called you earlier, and found that there was a person on the phone who was silently muttering something next to you all the time. Continue reading , 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?"

Chen Hao said: "Someone was sitting by the window, staring at you all the time. He had wounds all over his head, and blood dripped on the floor. Also, his hands seemed to be covered with black hair...it felt like a baboon arm."

He heard Fat San slapping behind him, he couldn't stand still, and sat on the ground directly.Zhou Jue almost felt his legs were weak and dizzy, Fat San lay on the ground and even the strength to sit was exhausted.Shaking into a ball all over.

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 the most appropriate now, because indeed no one dares to go back.But the thin monkey stood still and didn't go away. The rain hit his face, and he stood in the rain with the most stiff lips 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. 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. The boy's parents are not in the city, and the house is not too small. It is enough for Zhou Jue and three big men to come here for a night. Chen Hao took out Give them dry clothes, point to the bathroom and say, "Go take a shower, or you'll catch a cold."

So the four of them took turns to take a hot bath, and then he asked the three of them to come to his study and sit on their own seats with crossed hands, crossed their legs and said, "I have unlocked the code."

The three of them were shocked when they heard it.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 quickly wrote down the string of passwords.

"5P-3C-I3436-368742"

Chen Hao read while writing: "Fifth row, third floor, I3436-368742..."

But after he finished writing this time, Zhou Jue immediately realized the meaning of this string of passwords.

Zhou Jue exclaimed: "The four-corner code! Your sister is actually talking about the location of a book!"

Zhou Jue's brain immediately understood that this string of numbers was indeed most likely written by sister Chen Hao.Sijiao Number is one of the commonly used search methods in Chinese dictionaries, using up to 5 Arabic numerals to classify Chinese characters.

The four-corner number checking method uses numerals 0 to 9 to represent ten kinds of strokes at the four corners of a Chinese character, and sometimes adds one complement at the end.In fact, it is a number commonly used in library code management.Under normal circumstances, when entering a new book, check the four-corner number of the author of the new book, and then write the number on the book.Easy to find and manage.

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'll know the news?"

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 want to clarify one thing first."

Chen Hao snorted, and Zhou Jue stared at the password and said, "What I want to ask is, is it because of your sister that you participated in this matter?"

As soon as the words fell, six eyes stared at Zhou Jue at the same time. Zhou Jue remained unmoved. He shrugged his shoulders and wiped his hair with a towel, and continued in a very flat tone: "First of all, we only know that your sister It's missing, that's right, but everything else comes out of your mouth. I believe it, but there is one thing that my buddy can't say if I don't say it, and that is what are you playing in this thing Character? You know what we know, but what you know, we can only know through your mouth. To be honest, I think such an incredible and dangerous thing, ordinary people will not get involved. "

After Zhou Jue said these words casually, he glanced around with his eyes, Fat San and Thin Monkey were already standing beside him, and the three of them were facing Chen Hao in a line.But Zhou Jue still controlled his emotions and eyes.Chen Hao, on the other hand, looked at him motionless, his eyes were very calm, without any waves.There are even some tastes of appreciation and fun.

Both parties wanted to see something in the other's eyes, but neither could do it.Finally Zhou Jue smiled softly: "Hehe, actually I have nothing else, I just think you are too concerned about this matter, and the evidence is a little 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 out laughing, 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 looked at Erlang's leg and said, "It's nothing, you like to use some tricks to test people like my sister, you want to test if I have something to hide from you. You don't trust me , so you need my forced confession."

Hearing what he said, Zhou Jue's eyes finally flashed a hint of shock, but it was the flashing look, but it did not escape Chen Hao's eyes. Chen Hao smiled slightly at him, and Zhou Jue knew that he would There's no point in pretending to be probing. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Sure enough, it's Brother Chen. He's an old man. It seems that he can only tell the truth to you. In fact, I really find it strange that you care so much about this matter. You You must know more than that. Just tell us. We don't know what to do."

Chen Hao didn't expect Zhou Jue's mood to change so quickly, and he felt a little at a loss for his sudden confession. He sighed and took out a book from the bookshelf, and said, "This is my sister's diary, which is also her diary. Give me the only message."

Zhou Jue looked at the book, and Chen Hao signaled that they could read it.Chen Hao found that the notes in the diary were very beautiful. It is rare that there are still people in this society who can write well.According to Zhou Jue, most people in this society are relatively proficient in smart ABC and so on, and have degenerated to the point where they cannot write articles of more than 2000 words by hand.

And the diary is indeed similar to what Chen Hao said, almost nothing about the novel was mentioned. Zhou Jue quickly lost his patience, and he simply turned to the last page, which was the last diary 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 am now a lunatic, I can't distinguish between reality and fantasy , I don't know which ones are real and which ones are fake, I need someone to help me.

I'm tied up, 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.Don't hesitate..."

This passage is indeed written like a lunatic's writing style. Zhou Jue felt a kind of contradiction, as if there were two souls who wrote the diary, and they took turns to control sister Chen Hao's thoughts.In the end, sister Chen Hao did go looking for it too.

Chen Hao looked at Zhou Jue's face, and he said, "You will be summoned by the ghost just 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 shit book yet. Don't you just stand and talk without back pain? That's right, what the second child said is right, we don't believe you. Why should we believe you?"

Thin Monkey didn't help, he just looked into Chen Hao's eyes silently, he is the most silent among these people, but also the most straightforward, he doesn't talk much, but every word is very pertinent, he doesn't say anything now , just because he was waiting for the trust from Chen Hao.

But Zhou Jue's thoughts are much more detailed and complicated. Apart from not trusting Chen Hao, he also wants to know all the news that Chen Hao knows. It is produced under the condition that both sides are equivalent.

Chen Hao still kept his sitting posture, and he said: ""Kilimanjaro", this book is the book of I3436, maybe you don't believe it, but I can indeed remember a lot of things, this is why I have to take it every day Sleeping pills and regular acupuncture are the reason why I can 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, but Zhou Jue just hummed, indicating that he had heard about it a long time ago.Then Chen Hao said: "I found the book according to my memory for the first few password numbers, and the latter 368742, which 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 think in the most direct way."

Fat San asked, "What do you think?"

Chen Hao turned on the computer, and then used Baidu to search for the book "Kilimanjaro", and then he said: "In order, the third word, the sixth word, the eighth word, the seventh word, the third word 42 characters. When connected together, it means a seven-person appointment, a 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 them. He seemed to understand the meaning of Chen Hao, and he raised his head and said, "How many people have read this novel?"

Chen Hao pointed his fingers 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 nine who just died, there are two more 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? The ring of seven?"

Fat San sighed and sat back to his original position and said, "No, it's said in the novel that if a person dies, the next person must take over. It feels like a baton. Then the old nine died. Who will take over? "

Zhou Jue then asked: "Besides pressing the people we don't know for now, there is another thing that makes me very weird. In the novel, Lin Xu and Cuiniang both ate fish. Why didn't they get poisoned to death? On the contrary, that The monkey who was only possessed by the ghost of a man, that is, Chi, was poisoned to death. In addition, Brother Chen said...seeing the dead Lao Jiu sitting behind us, his hands are covered with hair... ...what the hell does that mean?"

The more they thought about it, the more confused they became. In the end, the three of them turned their eyes 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 about this matter, whether there is a ghost or someone pretending to be a ghost, the origin of this book, and another mysterious reader. 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."
