Ring of Seven [Online Version]

Zhou Jue pinched the bridge of his nose, and when the bulky wall clock in the library rang again, he realized that he had been looking here for a long time.He silently closed the book and returned to his seat.Zhou Jue found out that this book might not be a novel about war, maybe because this novel didn’t have any copywriting, so he couldn’t be sure what kind of novel it was even after seeing it now.

Zhou Jue wanted to put the book in his schoolbag, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't do it until he got off work.He didn't know why, but he began to fear this novel.Corresponding to this expansion is the exploration and curiosity of novels.He knew he was fascinated.Self-preservation and curiosity stirred his heart at the same time.

Zhou Jue didn't lose his mind, he thought of a compromise.Hide the book in his private cupboard and go home.

Because he has to live in the university next Monday, so Zhou Jue has to take his luggage to the dormitory when he returns home this time.His father packed two packages for him, sent him to the door and went back.He greeted his parents and prepared to take the bus to school early.But before he went down the stairs, he smelled a strange smell of burning, followed by intermittent shouts.There is also the faint sound of chanting scriptures and the strange sound of gongs and drums.He murmured in his heart: Someone died, and today is the day for the funeral.

Sure enough, when he walked out of the corridor, he saw a large group of people wearing black cloth on their sleeves and white cloth around their waists, some burning wreaths, some smoking cigarettes, and some crying silently.

Zhou Jue made a slight detour, and walked past the group of people. As soon as he passed through them, there was a harsher crying sound from behind.He understood that this was the start of the funeral procession, so he moved to the side in a panic, letting those people go first.Otherwise, walking in front of them all the time means that he will take the lead in the funeral, which is too unlucky.

Zhou Jue leaned against the flower bed, and he saw that the leader was a pretty young woman with white paper flowers on her head.A set of black tights showed a very good figure, but her face was too pale, and in contrast to her pale face was the black photo frame in his hand.She held a posthumous photo in her hand. The black flowers on the photo matched with the dark photo frame felt particularly depressing.There was a desperate look of death in those eyes, but there was something wandering in those eyes.Suddenly Zhou Jue discovered that he knew this dead man!

Zhou Jue cried out in horror, which quickly aroused the resentment of those mourners. They glared at him, and the woman turned her head silently. At this time, the photo was completely facing Zhou Jue.Zhou Jue saw that it was the man who collected swords!That man is actually dead!Zhou Jue's heart seemed to freeze rapidly, he backed up again and again, and finally stuck his back under a camphor tree.The man in the posthumous photo had very gloomy eyes, and he completely lost the spirit of his conversation with Zhou Jue yesterday, like a man with a weak spirit.But Zhou Jue can be sure!This man is the man who talked to him yesterday.

Zhou Jue didn't want to continue looking at this posthumous photo, he silently lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly.He felt that the team moved away from him a little bit, and the crying was getting farther and farther away.He rubbed his head and squatted in the grass, his mind became confused for a while.

Seeing Zhou Jue like this, the old man in charge of the car asked him curiously what was wrong.Zhou Jue, after a long time, can only say that he is too hot and suffers from heatstroke.The old man took out a box of Fengyoujing from his pocket and stuffed it for Zhou Jue. Zhou Jue quickly went to his nose and sniffed it vigorously.The brain was stimulated by the smell of essential oils and suddenly regained consciousness.He touched his temples again, and Zhou Jue asked, "Mr. Li...how did that person die? Yesterday...wasn't it good yesterday?"

The old man took Fengyoujing and said: "Ah? Okay? How is it possible? This guy got uremia a year ago. It's not easy to survive until now. Pity his wife is so young..."

Zhou Jue felt a little baffled, because he was the kind of person who didn't care about his neighbors, and this was an apartment, and this man didn't belong to his building.Zhou Jue said, "He...he has uremia?"

The old man groaned again, and continued: "It's been a year, and this year, that kid is out of shape at all. He's as thin as ribs."

When Zhou Jue heard these words, the Fengyou Jing in front of him was wiped out in vain, and his head started to hurt again.The old man looked at his face very badly, thinking that he had a severe heat stroke and wanted to call an ambulance for him.But Zhou Jue shook his hand, and then walked out of the community with his luggage. He turned his head and looked at the window unwillingly. What was tied to the window was not a half knife at all, but a half water pipe.

There is only one question in Zhou Jue's mind: Who is the man yesterday?

This problem in the car has been around Zhou Jue, Zhou Jue is not a dull person, he intuitively told himself that all this is related to that book.And the beginning of this book said that the content of the novel will overlap with reality, Zhou Jue thinks the death of this man is the best response.Zhou Jue started to feel a little nervous, he ruthlessly stroked his hair, and took out a pack of cigarettes that he had hidden for a long time from his pocket.After taking a puff he began to think for himself.He sorted things out roughly.He found out that the source of the strange thing was in this novel called "The Ring of Seven", and this novel itself is very strange. Until now, Zhou Jue didn't know where it came from. When did the library Have you ever entered a novel like this?

Before thinking of any clues, the car arrived at the school gate. The lively things slightly diluted Zhou Jue's irritability. There was a row of buildings on the north side of the campus, which was close to a stinky ditch. It could be described as a special environment of cold winter and hot summer.There are a group of tough men living here, and Zhou Jue is one of them.

Zhou Jue went up to the third floor with ease, and then entered room 306.This room can accommodate four people.Among them, Zhou Jue's bed is near the window.But because there is a stinking ditch below, no one has the courage to open the window.At this time he was the first to arrive.

Zhou Jue left the luggage on the ground, turned over and lay down on the bed, still thinking about the things in the book.Suddenly the door of the room was pushed open with a bang, and the majestic movement knocked over the washbasin beside it.Zhou Jue knew who it was when he heard the movement. He turned around and held the back of his head in a more comfortable position to face Li Chenghao who was about to greet him.

Sure enough, Li Chenghao put down his luggage and sat down beside Zhou Jue's bed, patted Zhou Jue's back with his fat hand: "Second brother! You came first!"

Zhou Jue impatiently covered his head with a pillow, but it was too hot. After ten seconds, he removed the pillow and said impatiently, "Who allows you to call me dick? Try calling me again!"

Li Chenghao is very fat. He was sweating profusely in such a sweltering weather. He wiped his neck with his hand and said, "When you were numbered, you were number two. I called you number two. That's right. Don't you also Call me fat three?"

Zhou Jue sat up with a puff, then moved his arms and said, "Feng Laojiu hasn't come yet?"

Li Chenghao shook his head: "I don't know, maybe I went to get the registration form. By the way, the big news, do you know?"

Zhou Jue frowned and asked, "What?"

Li Chenghao knocked on the writing desk like a storyteller and said: "Three of the subjects we majored in this time were arranged by that Chen Hao! Didn't it mean that there was only one subject? How did it become three? And he is the first one. This is the first time I lead a class to class, and the new official will pay back the three goddamn fires. Brothers, get ready to cross the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops. And I guess we are the ones who will be squeezed out."

Zhou Jue was not as shocked as Li Chenghao expected. The latter raised his brows and said, "You already knew? It's no wonder that it's the little Zhou Lang Zhou Jue. The boy is well-informed."

After finishing talking, I saw two other people entering the room with travel bags. These two people are the other two members of this dormitory. One is the head of the dormitory, Feng Xiang, and the other is taller and thinner than Zhou Jue. This is here Hou Xiaowei, known as Thin Monkey.

In this regard, the 306 Four King Kongs finally reunited after a summer vacation.

Everyone has been together for a year, and they are even familiar with their own farts.So it quickly entered the state.This made Zhou Jue finally recover from the morning chaos.The boss, Feng Xiang, is a student of the Department of Economics. He has the same temperament as an intellectual in the 70s. Even if he wears the most fashionable clothes, he still feels that the clothes are borrowed from him.So he has a nickname called Feng Laojiu, which comes from the slanderous title of "Stinky Laojiu" for intellectuals during the Cultural Revolution.

The second child is Zhou Jue, known as Little Zhou Lang, but in fact he is called Zhou Lang. Apart from his surname Zhou, this kid is really not bad-looking, and he is relatively neutral. In addition, there is another big characteristic that belongs to the brain. It's better, and it's more mellow in dealing with people.Overall planning, very organized, so it can be said that among these four people, they play the role of military adviser.

The third child is Li Chenghao, from the Department of Humanities, nicknamed Fat Three.It can be said to have the physique of a giant human tank. This adjective shows how exaggerated this guy's size is.He eats a lot, grunts, and farts badly.These are his three characteristics.

The fourth child, Hou Xiaowei, is from the Department of Physical Education.He and this fat man are two extremes, and the thin one is comparable to the Vietnamese soldiers, but he looks much more energetic than the Vietnamese, his eyes have a heroic spirit that refuses to admit defeat, and he is the best at fighting here.Known as Thin Monkey Iron Fist, he can be regarded as a figure in this circle.There are several younger brothers and followers under his command.

Everyone talked and laughed, and finally the topic turned back to Chen Hao, especially Shouhou and Fat San who were most interested.Thin Monkey is because he thinks that Chen Hao and him are the same kind of people—people in the rivers and lakes (actually hooligans).

And Fat San made it very clear: this time Zhou Jue and him are doomed.Failing is inevitable.

Zhou Jue just nodded in response, half of his mind was still thinking about the morning, when they were talking, the thin monkey broke out a gossip, he said: "Dude, do you know? Chen Hao! He is a character." At the beginning, he seemed to have picked five or six people for a woman. It was only slightly injured, and the others seemed to be hospitalized. If you have the opportunity, you must experience such skills. I guess he has learned Jeet Kune Do!" After finishing speaking He also imitated Bruce Lee's two strange calls.

Fat San sneered and said: "No, no! You only know one thing and don't know the other. Do you know why he did it with women and those people?"

"What woman?"

Fat San took a sip of Wanglaoji and said, "For his sister, Chen Helan!"

When Zhou Jue heard this, he raised his head and asked, "His sister?"

Seeing an indifferent Zhou Jue, Fat San spoke vigorously, licking his lips even more vigorously, and said, "That's right! It is said that his sister is a school beauty, and she looks very beautiful, but then she seemed to go crazy. It's a pity... she has been treated for a long time since then. Sickness, sometimes good and sometimes bad, his sister was molested by some hooligans when she was sick. He taught them a lesson, but after that his sister disappeared, and she hasn’t been there yet. A few days later Years will be counted as death."

Zhou Jue frowned and said, "Crazy? Missing again?"

Feng Laojiu, who had been reading at this time, interrupted at this time: "Well, it just so happens that her sister was also working in the nearby library. Zhou Jue, didn't you hear about it from your seniors?"

A piece of meat in Zhou Jue's heart twitched, as if he felt that something had been forgotten by him, his eyes became confused, but he suddenly thought of something and said: "Is it... Her sister disappeared five years ago of?"

Fat San hummed a few times, and squeezed out a sentence: "I don't know..."

Zhou Jue didn't interrupt anymore, he shrunk his shoulders.At this point he began to want to read the novel again, like a drug addict.My heart began to itch unbearably.He took out his cigarette irritably and wanted to smoke it, but Feng Laojiu quickly dropped the cigarette and said, "The old man is coming for an inspection, let's smoke after he leaves. Otherwise the smell won't go away."

Zhou Jue nodded irritably.Went to the Commencement Ceremony and listened to the "I'll just say a few words" bullshit.The four of Zhou Jue came to the cafeteria to eat, and each looked at their respective class schedules. Zhou Jue looked at the class schedule and arranged how to reasonably arrange skipping classes and cheating.Zhou Jue always felt that the book was a rock. He couldn't bear it after holding it down for so long, but he was afraid of being laughed at when he said it. He struggled for a long time, and finally licked his lips and said to the other three: "Dude... let me tell you something. Don't call me superstitious."

Feng Laojiu nodded his glasses frame and said, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Jue scratched his hair and said, "I may...maybe encountered something unclean."

Immediately, the other three people stopped their chopsticks, and they looked at Zhou Jue intently, and finally Fat San stretched out his fat palm to cover Zhou Jue's forehead: "I don't have a fever... why are you talking nonsense..."

Zhou Jue patted Fat San's hand away: "Take off your trotters, listen to me...things are really weird..." So Zhou Jue told his gang of brothers about it, the atmosphere was really quiet up.Shouhou was the first to speak, and he bared his teeth and said, "No way, you're making a movie, brother?"

Zhou Jue sighed and said, "I'm lying to you, I'm your grandson. This matter... The main fault of this matter is that the beginning of the matter was really as expected in the book, and it was not normal! The dead person in the morning is the best explanation. .”

Feng Laojiu shook his head and said: "Although these are coincidences, they can all be explained by normal reasons. For example, the book you mentioned appeared and disappeared inexplicably. It is likely that when you put it in your schoolbag, It wasn't covered, and someone else took it out again. Your bag doesn't have a combination lock or anything like that. The old Zhao you mentioned is the most likely person, and the woman you saw may be trying to take advantage of your inattention. The readers who sneaked in to read the book, in short, ran away because they were afraid of being discovered by you. There is also a computer. This may be because the weather is too hot and the graphics card is broken. And the weirdest dead man is actually easier to explain. What you see is not that The dead man, but his brother or something, looks very similar. And the knife is not welded to the railing, so it is easy to take it off."

Fat San also nodded beside him and said: "That's right, in fact, these are not unexplainable at all. Brother, I think you are confused because of part-time work. Forget it, don't do it. I will introduce you to an Internet cafe as a network administrator. "

Zhou Jue covered his forehead and shook his head, "Then how does Chen Hao explain?"

Fat Sanchi laughed happily, and he said: "The kid treats you like a younger brother, how can I explain it? Don't be afraid, buddy, if he has any unreasonable demands on you, tell brother, I'll find someone to set him up." The garbage bag beat him up."

Speaking of fighting, the thin monkey nodded vigorously, as if he was about to rush out in the next second.Zhou Jue shook his hand and said, "Okay, it seems that I'm oversensitive when you say that. Come on, it's okay."

The author has something to say: Well, the story continues to develop, and the characters appear one by one. The beginning of the story always feels a bit tedious and monotonous...but I will try my best to think about the details ~ because this is likely to be an important clue later.I love leaving foreshadowing like this!I still have a cold and have a slight insomnia, so my writing is very intermittent and the progress is not fast.But I dare not put too many things on it, otherwise it will be difficult for me to control if it is broken later.Sorry everyone!But I will work hard, not cheating is my promise!
