Mr hell

……

Gu Qian did not have such traits since she was a child. The transformation occurred a few years ago, when she was still in high school. Due to the full-time boarding, she could only go home four days a month.

There are public toilets on each floor of the female dormitory building. Due to disrepair, the color of the occupancy signs on the toilet doors has faded, and some doors even cannot be closed tightly, and can only be "manually locked".So that people will accidentally do the embarrassing thing of opening the door of the occupied toilet later, but the girls will not hold each other too much.

As an inspector, Gu Qian once went to the public toilet on this floor after checking the dormitory discipline on the first floor one night, and accidentally opened the door of a toilet that was occupied by someone.It was too late at that time, she thought that there was no one in the public toilet, so she opened the door distractedly while flipping through the list of records.She only caught a glimpse of the striped clothes inside from the corner of her eye, Gu Qian quickly closed the door, and said sorry to the people inside several times.

But she didn't get any response, and she didn't hear any movement in the compartment until she finished solving it.Driven by a strong curiosity, she knocked on the door, but there was no answer.

Gu Qian slowly opened the door and found that there was actually no one inside.She looked around and wondered if the stripes she saw were actually tile patterns.

But after this time, her delusion about "stripes" seemed to be etched in her mind.She realized this because when she went to the public restroom on this floor the next day, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the obvious yellow stripes through the crack of the door. Her eyelids jumped inexplicably, and she retreated to that position again.It is clear that this "stripe" is the effect caused by the dim light of the toilet shining on the raised floor tiles with fine lines.

She glanced up at the light, then down at the tiles.I always feel that there is a trace of uncomfortable feeling in my heart, but I can't express it.

She also had a dream related to it when she went back, and when she woke up, she found that she shed a lot of tears.

Gu Qian didn't go to the public toilet on that dormitory building again, and after spending a whole month peacefully, such a news suddenly spread among the students—a girl committed suicide in the dormitory building.

Although the news was strictly blocked by the school, it still spread like wildfire.Gu Qian once saw crying parents at the door of the dormitory building, and she was even more convinced of the authenticity of this incident.

She was originally a type of student who was unmoved by gossip, but this time there was a desire pushing her to find out.She learned from people who lived on that floor that the girl involved deliberately avoided the place where the patrolling teacher went at one or two o'clock in the morning.

It is said that when her body was found, she was still wearing striped pajamas, and the blood stained the cartoon pattern on the clothes.

The classmate described it meticulously and exaggeratedly: "I saw it, the stripes are yellow."

……

Since this "death prediction", Gu Qian's peculiar physique seemed to have opened a hole, and it was out of control.

"I said I could see ghosts, but my parents thought I was talking nonsense because of the pressure of the college entrance examination," Gu Qian said. "They took me to a counselor under the pretext of not being able to help. I felt like I was going crazy. , until the old man at home took me to the ancient temple in my hometown. At that time, Wen Daochang personally performed the method for me. He hadn’t moved to Yaocheng at that time—his guests were many every day. Remember me."

"I thought these Taoist priests were all liars, but since then I have seen fewer strange things. As the years go by, the 'traces of practice' on my body seem to be slowly disappearing. I began to frequently I came into contact with some supernatural things. But this time I found some knowledgeable friends to learn about them and started to study these things.”

Gu Qian looked at the ceiling and said with a smile: "Occasionally when I am tired, I will be proud of my physique. I was originally such a mediocre person, but I was given the ability to connect yin and yang that only appears in the play. It is like It’s like a mediocre self who is secretly a superhero who saves the world. I know this kind of saying is very second-guessing, but whenever I’m scared, I can only encourage myself like this, haha. "

Huai Qi looked at her, and found that Gu Qian did not escape or feel inferior, on the contrary, she was very optimistic about her "uniqueness", so she felt a little envious.

"Just talk about myself," Gu Qian dragged the stool forward, and said, "Student Huai, didn't you say you have a problem and want to talk to me?"

"Hmm..." Huai Qi's fingers tapped slowly on the water glass, and the warmth was transmitted from the fingertips.He said, "I want to ask you something about ghosts and gods." It may be small or tricky, but I hope you don't mind. "

Gu Qian said: "Hey, you can answer everything you know."

"If a person has experienced death and is lucky enough to have a second life, how do they usually continue to live?"

"I haven't actually investigated this" because I also heard about the concept of a second life from Taoist friends. Gu Qian rubbed the tip of her nose and said, "People with a second life will have a chaotic period when they reappear in the world, like a child with immature intelligence or a patient with neurological diseases."It is during this period that this kind of person will slowly regain their cognition as a human being and realize "rebirth", but if they do not get out of this period, they may become a lunatic. Although the body is reshaped, the consciousness Still failed to respawn.The brain is actually a good liar, but its lying skills are actually very ordinary.After gaining a second life, it will integrate and complete the memory very simply - in fact, what it does most often is to delete all the previous memories - but the completion can only be done based on your original cognition , something you haven't experienced, something you don't know will not appear in it. "

"That is to say," if the person with the second life recovers some memories, although the memories will contain fabricated elements, they are strongly related to real experiences? "

"That's the reason. The brain in the chaotic period will not create stories out of thin air for no reason, just as artificial intelligence does not inherently write novels."

Huai Qi felt that things had become a little simpler, but it was complicated on another level.He clasped his fingers tightly, and said slowly: "I suspect that I have died once."

"It takes courage and logic to cast such doubts. A hint of surprise appeared on Gu Qian's face, but it soon faded away, "Student Huai, why are you suddenly so suspicious?"

He lowered his eyelashes, showed some soft expression involuntarily, and couldn't help confiding: "I met a ghost who was very good to me." In the process of understanding him, I found some contradictions and contradictions in the past and memory. error. "

"Ah so, you say this "good for you" ghost has self-awareness? . "

"Well, but he doesn't appear often." Huai Qi thought of a very important question, "By the way, I want to ask, is there a time limit for the appearance of ghosts?"

"Of course, if they float around for too long, they will rot after the wave subsides."

"Ah, I don't mean the duration of existence, but the length of time they appear—for example, a ghost can only appear for two hours in a day."

Gu Qian raised her eyebrows and said, "No, I haven't heard of ghosts having such a forced time limit. If you can't see them for a while, it means that they are not around you or actively lowered the transparency. Hidden."

"Isn't it forced..."

"That's right, as long as they exist in this world, the wave of decay will continue uninterrupted. Hiding cannot delay the decay of the soul. If they want to, they can even be by your side all the time."

Huaiqi rubbed his fingers and said, "Where else might they go?"

"I don't know. It's probably the place where I stayed before. You have to ask them yourself."

Huai Qi thought for a while, and said, "I heard that the Taoist priest said that both ghosts and yin and yang can be attributed to the problem of Bo. Since ghosts can see through a person's mind, is there a way for people with abnormal Bo to see through ghosts? "

"Psychic perspective?" Gu Qian showed some complicated expressions, "I probably understand what you mean. The latter you mentioned has actually been widely used by Taoist priests who catch ghosts. They dispel ghosts by understanding their obsessions." But what does the first half of your sentence mean?Ghosts can see people through their minds-I will use this word for a moment-I have never heard of it. "

Huai Qi frowned and said, "It's the ability to see a person's short-term memories, can't ghosts do it?"

"No." Gu Qian said, "If you think about it according to the theory, you will understand. To invade other people's brains or ghosts' obsession waves to search for data, this requires a strong abnormal wave. A yin and yang person with this ability Even being a minority, how can ghosts who can only survive in the world rely on residual obsessions? The waves of ghosts—that is, obsessions—will dissipate and cannot be replenished, and they are much weaker than ordinary people .”

Huai Qi was silent for a while, he wanted to find a reason to refute Gu Qian.But Huai Qi couldn't find a loophole in her words.

If this statement is true, why did Jian Yisu know the information of those people so accurately in that haunted house adventure.

Why did Jian Yisu guess what she was thinking?

"What's the matter, student Huai, you seem to be "very disappointed." "

"It's okay," Huai Qi bit his lower lip, and said softly, "That ghost seems..." Huai Qi swallowed "he lied to me a little bit", he didn't think Jian Yisu would lie to him, for sure Some he didn't get right, so he said, "As if I don't want me to know some truths. "

Gu Qian finally couldn't help it and said: "I've wanted to ask Huai classmate you since just now." Is the ghost you mentioned so self-aware. "

"Well, he's like a friend of mine and plays games with me."

"..." Gu Qian said, "Student Huai, do you know that after you get along with some ghosts for a long time, you will find that "even if their freshness is very high, they don't know how to think independently, just like a computer that looks like a ghost." Like machines that are very intelligent but are actually technically limited - they are not human after all. "

"I haven't observed too many ghosts with the same freshness as him."

Gu Qian hesitated and said: "Although it's a bit offensive to say that, "Student Huai, there may be something wrong with the ghost you mentioned. "

Huai Qi looked up at her.She said: "You know Taoist Wen, didn't Taoist Wen remind you?"

Huai Qi couldn't explain the relationship between Wen Qian and Jian Yisu for a while, so he could only say, "Master Wen has a relationship with him."

Gu Qian sighed, and said with concern: "No matter what, stick to your own ideas while ensuring safety. If you have any questions, you can ask me."

"Thank you." Huai Qi said sincerely.

They talked for hours.After Huai Qi sent Gu Qian away, he sat alone for a long time at dusk and sunset. The crowd in the cafeteria gradually became lively, and he was out of tune with the noise.

He was thinking about Jian Yisu.

His phone vibrated slowly, and Huai Qi came back to his senses.

The number is Chen Pan'an's.

Huai Qi switched it on and covered his mouth with one hand to block out the noise.

"Hello, Brother Chen."

"Xiao Huai?"

He only said three words in an obscure tone, but it was as if an electric current passed through Huaiqi's mind. Suddenly, the long-lost cry that he heard when he was talking to his grandma exploded in his mind.

This time he understood that the voice was indeed very similar to his own.

He stared, with ominous intent creeping up the back of his neck, listening to the other side of the phone saying——

"I'm in your hometown now, I'm sorry, Xiaohuai." Chen Pan said, "Your grandma had an accident an hour ago."
