Strange Story of Strange House

It was almost two o'clock in the morning when Lin arrived home late.When entering the door, Huaiyin was watching the TV series intently.

A while ago, Huaiyin fell in love with dog-blood idol dramas, and he especially liked watching the plot where the male protagonist failed the female protagonist and then suffered a brutal revenge... But once the male and female protagonists were about to reunite, he immediately changed the movie.Lin Chi had watched several movies with him before realizing that Huaiyin actually didn't like happy endings.

Rather than disliking it, it would be better to say I hate it.Lin Chi once forced Huaiyin to watch a reunion idol drama. The smile on Huaiyin's face was as beautiful as ever, but with a sadness and irony that he had never seen before.

What Huaiyin wants to see is the miserable end of those heartless people who betrayed each other.He never disdained the recovery and consummation afterwards.

"Huaiyin, I'm back."

"Yeah." Huaiyin continued to stare at the computer screen without looking back.

"looking at what?"

"Look at a woman taking revenge on a heartless man." Huaiyin turned his head quietly, giving full play to his advantages as a ghost, with a creepy smile on his face.Lin Chi was taken aback, and immediately changed the subject wisely: "Sorry, I'm late today."

"Did something happen?"

"Well... I went to the girls' dormitory where the accident happened with that classmate today..." Lin Chi explained to Huai Yin what happened tonight in detail.After Huaiyin listened, she rubbed Lin Chi's head and told him to be careful, but didn't comment too much on what happened tonight.

"By the way, does Huaiyin know Lou's? It would be great if the shop owner would help me, he must be very strong..." Speaking of Lou Qi, Lin Chi was obviously a little excited, his eyes brightened a little more than usual.After all, it was Huaiyin who brought up the child alone. He mentioned the shop owner several times in just a few minutes, and his carelessness obviously couldn't be hidden from his adoptive father.

Huaiyin looked at Lin Chi with a half-smile: "I don't know if she's strong or not, but the owner of this shop named Lou must be pretty."

Lin Chi blushed: "I just appreciate it, and I don't have any bad thoughts."

Huaiyin also knew that the child should not be teased too much, so he changed the subject in a polite manner: "I have heard about the Lou family. They are the sanctioners of the dark world."

"The Punisher of the Dark Realm?"

"Well, although we live together, you and I do not follow the same set of laws. You follow the laws of the human world, but I, your aunt Yun and those ghosts and monsters, follow the laws of the dark world. In the law of the dark world, appropriate killing and devouring are allowed. But no matter which world it is, there are strengths, weaknesses, and classes. If you blindly let it go, it will bring destruction, a long time and painful After the experience, the dark world has evolved a set of rules to limit these behaviors that will bring disasters. The Lou family maintains this set of rules. They impose sanctions on those who violate the rules of the dark world. Therefore, some people call them the dark world Punisher."

"Do gods, demons and monsters really exist?" Lin Chi rested his head on Huaiyin's lap, and Huaiyin combed his hair with his hands: "Probably there are. It's just that I haven't seen it either."

Lin Chi comfortably rubbed his face on Huaiyin's lap, chatted intermittently, and finally gradually closed his eyes and fell asleep.Huaiyin pulled the blanket on the sofa to cover him.It wasn't long before dawn, and he didn't bother to let Lin Chi go back to bed.Turning off the sound of the TV, he silently watched the scumbag kneeling on the ground begging for forgiveness from the heroine in the bloody revenge drama, with a mocking smile on his lips.

Maybe it was because he didn't go to bed until early in the morning. Lin Chi woke up a little later than usual, but he wasn't late yet.He got up gently, and fell asleep on Huaiyin's lap before, probably because he didn't want to disturb him, so Huaiyin fell asleep in that position.Lin Chi covered him with a blanket and walked out the door lightly.

When he went out, the gloomy building was already standing gently in the morning light.

Holding the cake that he didn't have time to eat last night in his left hand, and the weird clay pot in his right hand, Lin Chi ran all the way towards the school, and finally entered the classroom before class.He caught his breath and began to stuff the cake into his mouth.Huaiyin's cooking skills are getting better and better. Although it is not particularly delicious, it is much better than the table of meals he made when he was just picked up, with no visible ingredients or taste.

At that time, he was afraid of being abandoned again, no matter what kind of dark food Huai Yin made, he could stuff it into his mouth.It's just that after eating, he always has stomach troubles, vomiting and diarrhea, and is so weak that Huai Yin, who is a new father, is at a loss.

After that, Aunt Yun would always give him some money before he went to school, and let him eat something to pad his stomach on the way home.Before going home every day, he would eat something in advance until the food Huai Yin made was really edible.A few years ago in New Year's Eve, he suddenly remembered this and told Yun Jing about it.Amidst the rare embarrassment of her parents, Aunt Yun laughed hard.

"How can I have human paper money? I haven't been out of Yunlou for many years." Yun Jing explained in his dumbfounded way.He subconsciously looked at the angry parent, who gritted his teeth: "I didn't know who it was at the beginning. The things I made were obviously not edible, and as soon as I said I wouldn't make them, they looked at me with an abandoned expression! What do I have?" Method?"

Lin Chi couldn't help laughing while thinking about the past while eating.He looked at Yunlou from a distance through the window, but that eerie old building gave him an indescribable sense of belonging, as if as long as it stood there like this, he would have nothing to fear.

The class in the morning was Ma Zhe, and after Lin Chi finished eating his cakes, he began to hold his face in a daze in boredom.

After all, with classmates, the curse must be resolved.He was a little fortunate to go with Chen Feng yesterday, otherwise, Chen Feng might have been accompanied by Cao Yike in the hospital today...

But, did I forget something...

ah!Chen Feng!

Last night, he and Chen Fengye fled in two directions separately.He fled to Ximen by himself, and met the beautiful shopkeeper, Danqing helped him solve the trouble.So!Where is Chen Feng!Lin Chi looked around, but found no sign of Chen Feng.

Lin Chi stood up with a "huh", and Teacher Ma Zhe looked at him in surprise.

"Do you want to go to the toilet, classmate?"

"No, it's not... sorry."

"Then listen to the class carefully and be serious in class. Although this class is not a professional class, you will have a closed-book exam at the end of the semester..."

"I'm sorry." Lin Chi sat down in some embarrassment, and found out the mobile phone that had been thrown in the bag, and found a lot of missed calls from Chen Feng.

"Teacher, I need to go to the bathroom!"

"Aren't you going?"

"..."

"Go ahead and don't need to report." Teacher Ma Zhe looked helplessly at this handsome young man who was in trouble frequently.After Lin Chi got permission, he hid his bag and left the classroom immediately.

After leaving the classroom, Lin Chi immediately took out his mobile phone and called Chen Feng back.Chen Feng on the other end of the phone was a little confused. After confirming that Lin Chi was fine, he lowered his voice and began to tell Lin Chi about his legendary experience yesterday.

According to Chen Feng, after parting from Lin Chi, he took Ye Bai to the direction of the south gate and quickly got rid of the pursuers.So he used his ingenuity to hide with Ye Bai all the way, and he didn't send Ye Bai back to the dormitory until nearly six o'clock.In conclusion, mere ghosts really can't do anything to him.

Lin Chi thought to himself, who is that person who was shaking like hell in the dormitory yesterday?

Chen Feng waited in the girls' dormitory area until dawn, and left after nothing unusual happened.Now I have eaten something and am recharging my energy in my dormitory, ready to fight again tonight.

Lin Chi was speechless on the other end of the phone. He didn't know whether to praise him for his bravery or lament that this child's nerves are rare in the world.But tonight, he didn't plan to bring Chen Feng with him. Facing something like a curse, Chen Feng couldn't help much, so he could only deal with Chen Feng while laughing.

******

At noon, Lin Chi made a special detour to Ximen for lunch.That noodle restaurant has officially opened today. Lin Chi glanced at it from a distance. It was crowded with people, and the business was really booming. After all, with such a beautiful owner, it would be hard not to think it would be booming.

Thinking of the bowl of Yangchun noodles cooked by the cook yesterday, Lin Chi swallowed, and walked decisively towards the noodle shop.When I arrived at the noodle shop, I realized that the business was indeed very good, but it was not because of Lou Qi. Lou Qi was not reading in front of the cash register, and only Dan Qing greeted and sent them off with smiles in the shop.

"Ah, classmate, I'm here to patronize again. What do you want to eat today?"

"It's the same as yesterday."

"Okay. Brother, a piece of Yangchun noodles."

Danqing found a place for Lin Chi, and then turned to greet the others.Lin Chi looked around, but there was no sign of Lou Qi.A few girls at the next table chattered about how handsome the cook is.Lin Chi curled his lips, thinking it was because you had never met Lou Meiren.

Lin Chi hesitated for a long time, and finally stopped Danqing when she passed by again.

"Danqing, isn't Lou Qi here?"

"BOSS? He's out."

Lin Chi was a little disappointed, and left after eating the noodles.

On the contrary, Danqing looked at his leaving back thoughtfully, and didn't come back to his senses until the crow patted her on the shoulder.

After the lunch break, Lin Chi wandered absent-mindedly to the classroom for class, and was stopped by Bao Ni just after entering the classroom.

"Lin Chi, what time did you leave yesterday? We don't even have any memory." The girl's smile was beautiful, and she was shy, but after seeing her without bloody eyes, Lin Chi still couldn't bear it. I couldn't help trembling.

"Nothing special happened last night, so we stayed until after six o'clock and left. The housekeeper was not at the door at that time." Lin Chi talked nonsense seriously, and fooled Bao Ni.

"Is that so? No wonder. I wanted to ask you this morning, but you didn't sit together, and you peed halfway." Seeing the girl's suddenly realized expression, Lin Chi felt a little guilty.At this moment, Chen Feng also entered the classroom. Seeing that Bao Ni was standing with Lin Chi, he was so excited that he walked towards this side, but halfway there, he was dragged away by Lin Chi, who was afraid of going out of his way.

"Why are you dragging me?" Chen Feng asked puzzled.

"I'm afraid you might slip up in a moment of excitement." Lin Chi dragged Chen Feng to find a seat away from Bao Ni and the others.Chen Feng scratched his head, still not quite understanding what Lin Chi meant: "Huh?"

"Do you really want to tell a few girls that they are cursed?" Lin Chi looked at Chen Feng with hatred, and Chen Feng finally realized it.

"……In no mood."

"That's right, if you tell them rashly like this, have you considered whether they can accept it and whether they will believe you?"

"What should I do?"

"Well, let's split up and search for information first, and go to the library to find out what the curse is. You can't fight unprepared, right?" Lin Chi continued to fool people seriously.

"That's right! Let's divide the work, what should I investigate?"

"Go and check..." After assigning a task to Chen Feng, Lin Chi finally breathed a sigh of relief seeing him baiduing what he wanted to check on his mobile phone with great interest.

Lin Chi didn't want Chen Feng to take risks, but since Chen Feng already knew about this matter, it was unlikely to let him quit now.So after thinking about it, the only way to hold him back is to use this method. As for how to solve it, I have to think again.

Lin Chi knew that Aunt Yun and Huaiyin were the most powerful in this regard, but Aunt Yun could not leave Yunlou, and it was obviously impractical to bring a few girls into Yunlou.Yunlou does not welcome living people other than himself. Of course, there are not many ghosts. The feeling that a super plug-in cannot be used there is simply indescribable.As for Huaiyin, it's already October now, and Huaiyin's old problem has only happened in the past few days. If she suddenly faces them... just forget it.

Apart from the two of them, only the owner of the beauty building was left.But he had clearly rejected him yesterday... It really hurts to think about it.

Lin Chi didn't come up with a solution until the end of get out of class. Chen Feng went to the library with great interest. It seemed that he was going to check the information all night, so Lin Chi had to go back to Yunlou first.

After dinner, he ran to Yun Jing to search for a bunch of books about curses, and went back to his room to read behind closed doors.

Lin Chi first opened a kraft paper "Teaching You How to Solve Curses Scientifically", which said: Curses originate from people's anger and resentment, and the curse can be resolved by eliminating anger and resentment.

The specific method is:

If you offend others, you should apologize; if you owe a debt, you should pay back; if you destroy something, you should pay for it; if you stole something, you should return it and apologize; if you kill someone, you should pay with your life.

How to eliminate the resentment of that hand?Put a hand mask on it?

Lin Chi twitched his lips and threw this book aside... Opening the Nth book, the title of the book was "The Encyclopedia of Curses", Lin Chi dubiously turned to the part where the curse was lifted—respectfully chanting the "Shurangama Mantra", breaking everything jinx.

The Shurangama Mantra?Copy it down with a notebook first.Then continue to read, there are many ways to break the curse in the book, and a lot of spells have been copied, but are they really useful?Lin Chi covered his eyes and sighed, thinking maybe he should confirm the details with Ye Bai again, so as to prescribe the right medicine.

The more Lin Chi thought about it, the more reliable it was, and it was much more useful than looking up information here without a clue.Because Huaiyin is a nocturnal creature, for Lin Chi, access control basically does not exist.After making up his mind, Lin Chi told Huaiyin something was up, and ran out holding the pot.

Although he returned to Yunlou in the afternoon, it took a long time to check the information, so when he left Yunlou, it was almost ten o'clock at night.

At this moment, Lou Qi has returned to the noodle shop.The business at night was not good, there were no customers in the shop, only Danqing and Ya sat on the sofa and drank tea.

"Boss, you are back."

"Well, nothing happened today, right?"

"No, business is good. Crow and I were almost overwhelmed at noon. Oh, by the way, the little guy came to look for you yesterday."

"Who?"

"That little guy who was hunted down at night, I came here specially to find you. When I heard that you were not in the store, the disappointed and aggrieved expression on your face is very attractive. After all, the boss is the most attractive." Dan Qingjiao Smiling, he flattered Lou Qi for a while, but it was a pity that Lou Qi didn't like this.

"What is he here for..." Lou Qi casually sat down in front of the two of them, Ya gave him a cup of tea thoughtfully, Danqing covered his mouth and smiled, and didn't answer any more.

Suddenly, Lou Qi frowned, and he saw a familiar figure running into S University.

"Is it the guy you mentioned who just ran into the school?"

Danqing stretched out his head and took a look. Although Lin Chi had already run into the school, his special identity and ability allowed them to find Lin Chi easily: "Hey, it really is him! Why is he going to school so late? It can't be Do you want to provoke that curse?"

Dan Qing said a little worriedly: "Such a lovely child, what if something happens?"

Lou Qi frowned subconsciously as he recalled the boy who was like a baby animal yesterday.Dan Qing easily caught Lou Qi's emotional fluctuations, and calmly added fuel to the fire.

"The curse is quite powerful. It took me a little effort to deal with it. If this little guy hadn't met us yesterday, I really don't know how he would have ended up. How about I go and see?"

"No, I'll go, you guard the shop." Lou Qi got up and chased after finishing speaking.Danqing froze for a moment, and when she recovered, she could no longer see Lou Qi, she covered her mouth and smiled, "It's rare to see our BOSS being so enthusiastic, this little guy is really likable."

"Danqing, do more and talk less."

"Hey, crow, you are really... puzzling enough."

******

When Lou Qi caught up with Lin Chi, the latter had already rushed into the dormitory area, and was standing downstairs in a girls' dormitory with a clay pot, with a troubled expression on his face.

Because of yesterday's experience, Lin Chi knew that as soon as twelve o'clock passed, entering and leaving the dormitory would be like entering and leaving no one's land, and even if he found Ye Bai now, he couldn't ask anything. Lin Chi has a useful memory.But now it was nearly two hours before twelve o'clock, Lin Chi was a little annoyed, he thought of coming to confirm with Ye Bai at home, so he ran over directly, without thinking about the time at all.

"Lin Chi!"

Suddenly hearing someone calling him, Lin Chi turned his head, and was surprised to find that Lou Qi was standing not far from him.

"Lou Mei... Boss Lou, why are you here?"

"Let's see how you die. Lin Chi, you were hunted down yesterday, and you dare to come today? Should I praise you for being brave or say you don't want to die?" Lou Qi said with a cold handsome face, quietly looked at Lin Chi intently.

Lin Chi didn't expect Lou Qi to appear here. After all, the two were just acquaintances. After hearing Lou Qi's words, they chased after him. He was surprised but also a little touched, and he didn't care about Lou Qi's sarcastic remarks. up.

"Are you concerned about me?" Lin Chi asked cautiously.

Lou Qi: "..."

"I'm sorry, but I can't let my classmates have accidents like this! And I just want to confirm something with Ye Bai today, I don't plan to confront them..." Lin Chi explained to Lou Qi in a low voice, although he didn't explain to him However, Lou Qi cares about him after all, not to mention that the person who cares about him is an outstanding beauty.Thinking of this, Lin Chi immediately put the so-called integrity behind him.

"It's not your business." Lou Qi sighed.Lin Chi retorted subconsciously: "But you don't care!"

Lou Qi: "..."

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to accuse you..." Lin Chi looked up at Lou Qi's expressionless face, and explained in a low voice. Seeing that the latter didn't respond, he hesitated and stretched out his finger to touch it. Touch Louqi's arm,

"Do not be angry……"

"Not angry." Lou Qi replied in a voice without any emotion.Lin Chi blinked his eyes, and leaned forward again: "You are here, come up with me to have a look..."

Lou Qi: "..."

"OK? Please!"

"...Let's go."

"Hey? You agreed!?"

"Don't you want me to take care of this?"

"But, it's not twelve o'clock yet..." Lin Chi reminded the man that the curse would start after twelve o'clock.

"It's okay." Lou Qi didn't care, he casually took the clay pot in Lin Chi's hand and threw it at the door of the dormitory.At this time, Lin Chi, who witnessed all his movements, had the following mental activity...

ah ah ah ah...

Don't break like this...

ah ah ah ah...

what……

Not broken?

The clay pot rolled around in the open space of the dormitory building, and then stopped intact.At the moment it stopped, all the original people and various voices around them disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye around the two of them.The originally bustling girls' dormitory building became silent.

"field."

Lin Chi heard the man beside him murmur.

"Field? What's that?"

"The domain is a space belonging to this curse. It is real, but it is different from reality. When the curse is activated, this space overlaps with reality. The domain has its own unique operating rules. In this space, all Spells don't work."

"So what should we do now?"

"Go in, find the cover door of this space, and destroy it."

"Then let's go to the fifth floor to have a look! The girl who activated the curse lives on the fifth floor."

"it is good."

Lin Chi picked up the clay pot and held it in his arms, then led Lou Qi upstairs.

Although it was only past ten o'clock, far from the time to turn off the lights, in this field, the time was defaulted to midnight.All the dormitory lights were turned off, only the corridors were still lit.

The dormitory has only six floors.When Lin Chi first came here, he heard a joke from his seniors, saying that there is a rule that all buildings with more than six floors must have elevators, so the school dormitories are built according to the scale of six floors.

The stairs are very spacious, and you can see the small garden in front of the dormitory. Lin Chi followed Lou Qi to the fifth floor, which is the most gloomy place in the whole dormitory.

The surrounding area was deadly silent, not even the ordinary chirping of insects and the sound of the wind moving the treetops could be heard at night.Entering the corridor from the stairs on the fifth floor, the original spacious and bright corridor is visually stretched infinitely, as if it can't see the end at a glance, and at the end of the corridor where the lights cannot be illuminated is the cursed dormitory.
