I Upended Yet Another Campus Urban Legend

"What is it?"

Lin Yi stood opposite Cheng Yang, he couldn't see the contents of the note, he could only see the bloody note.Cheng Yang took the note out of the package, and his fingers were immediately stained with blood.

Cheng Yang swallowed his saliva, he wanted to speak but because he was too scared, no sound came out of his throat.

But he didn't want to hand the note to Lin Yi, lest Lin Yi's fingers get blood on the note.

After taking a long breath and exhaling, he opened his mouth with difficulty: "Write...write: It's time for you to hide."

Lin Yi paused: "What?"

"Still... haven't finished reading, there is still a line." Cheng Yang said tremblingly: "I want to pass it on alive."

Lin Yi frowned: "Pay for your life?"

"It's not paying for your life, it's hiding your life." After correcting Lin Yi, Cheng Yang asked nervously, "Brother Lin Yi, I...I seem to know how Xia Hui died."

Xia Hui didn't open the package at all, and of course he couldn't see the note in the package, so he didn't pass the note on.

Lin Yi pursed his lips.

Cheng Yang asked: "I...do I want to pass it on?"

Lin Yi asked: "How to pass it on?"

Cheng Yang was dumbfounded by the question. The note he received now seemed to be sent to him by a cursed person last time, but it was delivered by express delivery. He tentatively said, "Isn't there...a mailroom?" ?”

Having said that, Cheng Yang suddenly realized.

No wonder the dormitory management room here is called the mail room!

Mailroom, receive mail!Send!

Lin Yi also thought about this point clearly, and he asked, "Who will pass it on to?"

Hearing Lin Yi's tone was a bit cold, Cheng Yang quickly explained: "I'm not trying to harm anyone, what I mean is, I can pass this curse letter to Ren Li. Just like the 7-7 monster and 2-6 monster you told me Same, as long as you use their own death rules to kill them, I will pass this curse letter to Ren Li, so that the 8-4 monster will be killed by its own death rules, once it dies, all of us will die I can leave."

Lin Yi stretched out his hand, "Give me the note."

Cheng Yang: "Forget it, don't."

He said: "You haven't been targeted by the death rule yet, what if I hand you the note, you are also targeted?"

Lin Yi withdrew his hand: "Then show it to me."

Cheng Yang: "OK."

Cheng Yang spread out the note on his palm and showed it to Lin Yi, who glanced at the note.

'It's time for you to hide' was written in red blood, not all blood, Lin Yi could still smell the paint when he got close.

He stared at the five words.

The five characters are full of teeth and claws, and the strokes of 'le' are extremely simple, but the note expresses extreme resentment. This single word alone makes this note look extremely vicious, as if this note really has something capable of killing people. Curse of the same.

But 'Want to pass it on' was written not with a mixture of blood and paint, but with ordinary pen and ink.

Lin Yi looked at the handwriting of these two sentences, it was written by two people.

Lin Yi lowered his eyes to think, Cheng Yang saw Lin Yi's thoughtful expression, he didn't dare to make a show, for fear of disturbing Lin Yi's train of thought.

In fact, when Cheng Yang took the note out of the package, Lin Yi automatically imagined the contents of the note in his mind.

It's not that he hasn't heard of some pranks, and the most unlucky one among them is a curse letter.

Cursing letter pranks are often sent on campus, and the letter usually says 'If you don't spread the curse letter, you will encounter an accident within three days' or something more vicious, such as 'If you don't spread this curse letter within three days Transfer to five people and you'll be ruined'.

Lin Yi had received such curse letters when he was in school, and some people would be frightened by the content of the curse letters and rush to pass the curse letters on, so that the curse letters spread more and more like cell division.

There are many movies similar to this kind of curse, the most famous of which is the Japanese horror movie "Midnight Ring", the film revolves around a cursed video tape, anyone who receives this cursed video tape will live. But seven days.

"Xia Hui didn't die without spreading the curse letter." After thinking for a while, Lin Yi said.

'Failed to spread the curse letter' is indeed in line with the trigger mechanism of the death rule, but this death rule has the biggest bug, which is what Cheng Yang said, they can pass the curse letter to Ren Li.

Monsters formulate and respect their death rules. When monsters are targeted by death rules, monsters will not refuse death rules.In this way, it would be too easy for them to kill the monster. Even if it was not Cheng Yang who received the curse letter today but other participants, how could the 8-4 monsters ensure that the panic-stricken participants would not pass the curse letter on? for yourself?

After listening to Lin Yi's explanation, Cheng Yang's face was so pale that there was no trace of blood. Lin Yi's denial denied his life.

Cheng Yang held his head and immediately lost his fighting spirit: "I'm going to die...I'm going to die...Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo one ones."

Lin Yi didn't have time to comfort Cheng Yang, he murmured: "Zang Ming..."

He locked his eyes on the word 'Tibetan life'.

'Zang' is a polyphonic character, read 'zàng' and 'cáng'.

Lin Yi was thinking about homophony.

If you read 'zàng', 'Zangming' is homonymous to 'Buying Ming'.

If you read 'cáng', the words 'Zangming' and 'paying for life' can barely be regarded as homonyms.

Whether it is the word 'buried' or 'compensation', the character 'zang' differs too much from these two characters, and the strokes of the character 'zang' are more complicated than these two characters. Generally speaking, no matter whether it is a typo or Tongjia characters use simple strokes to replace complex strokes, so the appearance of "Tibetan" here can basically rule out the possibility of typos.

So what this note wants to express is the word 'Tibetan'.

When the word "Tibetan" is pronounced as "zàng", it generally refers to Tibet, and when it is pronounced as "cáng", it means stealing, hiding, collecting, and storing.

Lin Yi murmured and said, "Xia Hui died because he was found by it."

Cheng Yang didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

Lin Yi said: "Zangming literally means hiding your life. A person is still alive and is the entity of 'fate', so Zangming means playing hide-and-seek with it. If it finds you, it is equivalent to finding your life." Life."

Cheng Yang tried to understand what Lin Yi said.

Lin Yi added: "The rule of death is to be found by it."

Cheng Yang was stunned.

"Xia Hui returned to his room last night. His name was still on the door of bedroom 204. He was easily found by that thing." Lin Yi told the reason for Xia Hui's death.

Lin Yi's words made Cheng Yang feel creepy, and he stammered: "So... so I don't need to pass this thing on to the next person, I just need to hide tonight, right?"

Lin Yi: "Yes."

Cheng Yang suddenly became anxious, and he began to look around: "But where am I hiding?"

There are too few buildings in Baoxiang Middle School, there is only one teaching building, one dormitory building and a road.

In this teaching building, only the door of Class [-] (Senior Grade [-]) can be opened. Cheng Yang said, "Brother Lin Yi, do you think it's okay for me to hide in the classroom tonight?"

Lin Yi shook his head. Among the few lines the female teacher had to say, apart from counting people and reporting missing people, was the sentence 'the last person remembers to lock the door'.

"No."

Lin Yi categorically rejected Cheng Yang: "The classroom door will be locked, let alone the difficulty of staying in the classroom before the door is locked, even if you really hid in the classroom, if the thing was born in the classroom, wouldn't you put Lock yourself in a classroom with that thing?"

His words are not groundless, the female teacher has been emphasizing that there is one missing person, is that student NPC just a ghost who came to seek his life?

Cheng Yang was frightened into a cold sweat by Lin Yi again: "Then where do I hide? I won't go to your dormitory even if I'm killed."

Not to mention the dormitory building, no one in other dormitories will take him in, Cheng Yang thinks Lin Yi will, but he can't harm Lin Yi, this note can be passed on to the next person, like the plague It is contagious, what if it can be spread without express mail?

Didn't he drag Lin Yi to die together?

Besides, the road connecting the dormitory building and the teaching building is even bald than the road leading to the teaching building area of ​​the non-natural engineering university. Vegetation was planted on both sides of the road of the non-natural engineering university. Once it is plugged in, it can cover the figure in the dark, but there is nothing on this road here, not even a street lamp for lighting.

Lin Yi glanced at the public restroom.

Cheng Yang looked in the direction of Lin Yi's gaze, his heart trembled suddenly, his face was ashen.

The cubicles are not closed, just like the cubicles in many public toilets, as long as people lie down, they can see the person hiding in the cubicle from under the bottom of the cubicle door, or if the thing is very high, it can also lie down On the compartment, look directly down from above.

It's not like a place to hide here.

Lin Yi witnessed Qu Jialiang's blood in the toilet when he was in the 7-7 rule world, and he knew better that public toilets are not suitable for hiding: "We will switch dormitories at night."

Cheng Yang directly refused: "No, if I let you die instead of me because I am afraid, then what kind of brother am I?"

"I didn't die in your place, I won't die." Lin Yi glanced at the package box in Cheng Yang's arms and said, "I didn't receive the package, and my name wasn't on the package, so you are the one who needs to find that thing." It's not me, even if I find me, I won't die."

Cheng Yang asked: "Are you sure?"

Lin Yi was actually not sure, he was worried that something really happened to him, even if Cheng Yang was alive, he would feel guilty, he thought for a while and said: "At least I am not 100% found and will die, but once you are found by that thing, you will die." will die."

Cheng Yang scratched his hair irritably: "Brother Lin Yi can't do it, there's no point in switching rooms between us, if something happens to you, I can't live here."

"How can it be meaningless." Lin Yi said: "I can find a way to hold that thing, as long as it is daylight. Have you forgotten what I told you? I was in the world of 7-7 rules, but I just had a confrontation with the vase girl. several nights."

He said: "Our two dormitories are next to each other. I really can't hold it back anymore. We can just exchange places through the window. Don't be stubborn, if you die here without trying, maybe I will close it tomorrow." When it arrives at the courier, I will have to wait to die alone.”

When Lin Yi said that, Cheng Yang nodded his head anyway.

Hearing Lin Yi's tone of swearing, as if they could really escape at night, Cheng Yang was finally not so depressed, he said: "If I didn't know that you like President Qin, I would have bent over."

Lin Yi said with a cold face: "If you really appreciate me, don't fall in love with me."

Cheng Yang: "..."

"What about this package? Do you want to destroy it?" Cheng Yang asked.

They didn't have a fire at hand, Lin Yi said, "Throw the note in the toilet."

Cheng Yang: "OK."

The note was thrown into the toilet, Cheng Yang pumped the water and watched the note being swept into the sewer.

Although the package was small, it couldn't be flushed down, so Cheng Yang threw it into the trash can in the toilet.

Because Cheng Yang's name was listed on the courier list, he knew that the thing would go to find Cheng Yang at night, and if he didn't want the night to come, the sooner the night would come.

In bedroom 202, Lin Yi asked Cheng Yang to get under the bed, and he moved the table to lean against the bed, so that even if the thing rushed in from the door, it could block the sight of the thing, so as to create time for Cheng Yang to escape.

Lin Yi tried it himself, whether he came in through the door or looked in the direction of Cheng Yang from the window, he couldn't see Cheng Yang under the bed at first glance.

Only then did Lin Yi feel relieved, and he didn't say anything to Cheng Yang. The more he said at this time, the more nervous Cheng Yang was.

Lin Yi left bedroom 202 and closed the door for Cheng Yang before leaving.

Then he went to Cheng Yang's bedroom 203.

Lin Yi closed the door, then looked out the window.

it's getting dark.

He withdrew his eyes and began to think about how he should hold the thing until dawn when the thing came to the door according to the name written on the paint on the bedroom door.

He rubbed his throat, Lin Yi planned to imitate Cheng Yang's voice.

He can imitate the audio in the MP4 so much that he can lull himself to sleep when the MP4 is not nearby, so it should be possible to imitate Cheng Yang's voice.

"Cough...cough cough."

Lin Yi cleared his throat first, he was about to say a word to let himself hear if it sounded right.

Outside.

chi chi chi-

Lin Yi recognized this voice, it was the voice he and Cheng Yang had heard last night.

The cat is sniffing.

Lin Yi stepped forward, stood by the door, and listened carefully to the voice.

The voice didn't come from outside 203 bedroom, but from 202 bedroom, where Cheng Yang is currently staying.

The sound of smelling smelled for a long time, and then there was a sharp and piercing sound of scratching the door, which was also the door of bedroom 202. More than one cat was scratching the door, at least seven or eight.

The sound of scratching the door became louder and louder, as if the cat wanted to open the door of bedroom 202 in this way.

Lin Yi was stunned.

He suddenly felt as if he had overlooked something.

He tried to remember:

They came across Xia Hui's package last night, and the cat chased after them smelling the smell. The cat disappeared after they washed their hands.

Xia Hui died last night, but Xia Hui was not killed by a cat, it was something else that killed Xia Hui.

Xia Hui's package disappeared, and the package was opened by the cat.

But there was only a piece of paper in the package, not the corpse that Lin Yi had imagined before.

So why did the cat unpack the express delivery? It didn't exist that the thing was put into the package.

Why did the cat disassemble the express delivery?

It's not the cat that kills, why did the cat chase the two of them after the smell of the package?

But now, they threw the note into the toilet, and threw the package in the public toilet. Before leaving, they also washed the smell of the package with washing powder on their bodies. After they washed their hands yesterday, the cat disappeared, but After they washed their bodies today, the cat not only didn't disappear, but why did it still come after them?

The sound of '嗤嗤嗤' outside the door became louder and louder. Just listening to the sound, Lin Yi could imagine the scene of a group of cats gathering outside the door of bedroom 202.

He suddenly thought of the popular science about cats he had read.

An expert who has studied cats said that it is well known that dogs have a good sense of smell, and they are also used in human society, such as drug detection dogs.But what everyone does not know is that the cat's sense of smell is ten to fourteen times that of humans, and even more sensitive than dogs.

The smell you smell at a distance of one meter from the food, the cat has already smelled the smell at a distance of 14 meters. Cats also have a vomeronasal odor collection system. Their outer nostrils have larger openings. At the same time, they can better recognize faint odors, and their upper lip grooves can specially collect odor particles, and only need to update the odor information by licking their noses. ①

Lin Yi suddenly raised his head.

What exactly is the smell the cat smells on the package, is it the thing, or...

Recipient's smell?

Lin Yi thought of the delivery note on Cheng Yang's package.

The sender looked like a pseudonym, but the recipient did indeed have Cheng Yang's name written on it.

The recipient could accurately write Cheng Yang's name, and the recipient's address was accurate to Cheng Yang's dorm number.

Ask if there is any smell of Cheng Yang in the package.

The answer requires little thought.

Have!

Xia Hui's package also contained Xia Hui's smell, last night the cat smelled Xia Hui's smell, so the two of them could wash away the Xia Hui's smell, but today, Lin Yi was able to wash away the Cheng Yang's smell smell, and Cheng Yang couldn't wash away his own smell at all, because Cheng Yang was the source of the package's smell.

The reason why the cat scratches the express delivery is not because the cat unpacks the express delivery to let the thing out of the package, but because the cat is remembering the smell in the package, just like a drug detection dog will sniff the smell of drugs in advance.

The whole process is.

The cat scratches at the package, notes the smell, and follows the smell to find it.

So, the cat is actually showing the way to that thing.

Those who received the package, whether they touched the package or not, would surely die.

Because it's useless for the recipient to hide anywhere, and it's useless to wash. There is no way for a person to wash away his own special breath...
