Urban Witcher

This is a crematorium. Corpses are burned every day. A lot of ashes will rise to the sky with the smoke and land on the surrounding land. There is a small amount of corpse gas in them, which will slowly dissipate under normal conditions, but this heavy rain has no effect. Unavoidably, the bone ash particles in the nearby soil and the corpse gas contaminated on it were brought down together, forming corpse water.

This kind of corpse water has no effect on living people, but if it flows all over the room like this, it will interfere with the mage's perception of nearby breaths—there is corpse breath everywhere, and if zombies or ghosts really touch it, it will be very dangerous. It is easy to be unnoticed.

Ye Shaoyang asked the staff to bring some rain-proof cloths and put them on the threshold to prevent the rainwater from pouring back. Then several boys worked together to clean the accumulated water in the mourning hall from the back door with brooms and shovels. The dead breath will not dissipate for a while.

In order to prevent accidents at night, Ye Shaoyang went outside the door, and while everyone was not paying attention, he pasted a talisman on the porch to protect the safety of the mourning hall.

After finishing all these tasks, Ye Shaoyang took a futon and sat down in a corner of the mourning hall. Those students gathered around and burned paper in front of the ever-burning lamp.

It was raining and it got dark early. It was dark before five o’clock. Because the umbrellas were not enough, we discussed it. Two boys bought food from the cafeteria. After a while, they came back with two slowly and two big bags of lunch. They formed a circle in front of the mourning hall to eat, and someone called Ye Shaoyang over to eat, but Ye Shaoyang was too embarrassed to eat with strangers, using the excuse that he was not hungry.

After a while, the female classmate I was dealing with came over with a box of meals and said, "It's been a long night, let's eat some food, otherwise there will be nowhere to buy it at night."

Ye Shaoyang thanked him, then took the lunch box and started to eat. The female classmate sat next to him and ate with him.

"Look at the process of encoffining Xiaoqiang just now. You are so professional. Have you ever been an embalmer?"

Ye Shaoyang smiled, and excused that his family was in a mountain village and kept some funeral traditions, and he had read a lot since he was a child, so he learned it. The female classmates believed it was true.

How did she know that the mountain folks around Xuanqing Mountain always ask Xuanqing Mountain disciples to preside over the funerals, and usually this kind of thing is handed over to outer disciples, but in the first few years when she first started, whenever there was a funeral nearby, Qing Yunzi would Let Ye Shaoyang go and follow the outer brother to take care of it.

At first he didn't understand why he did this, but later he gradually understood that Qing Yunzi did this to cultivate his awe and understanding of death. Simply put, the more funerals he presides over, the more he understands life than others Layer, this is very important for a cultivator. As the saying goes, if you can't serve people, how can you serve ghosts.

The two chatted while eating, and Ye Shaoyang learned that the female classmate's name was An Xiaoqian, and she was from somewhere in Yuzhou—that place name Ye Shaoyang had never heard of, and she was the monitor of Li Xiaoqiang's class, and both of them were cadres of the student union. , Usually the relationship is very good.

Ye Shaoyang seized this opportunity and inquired about Li Xiaoqiang's situation before his death, but what he got was similar to what Liu Yinshui said, so he asked about the situation of Lifen Garden instead.

"You've also heard that that place is haunted, right?" An Xiaoqian said, "Our school has a long history. It is said that the school was established during the Republic of China. Over the years, there have been many haunted legends in many places, but there are three There are the most haunted legends in this place, one is No. 3 Anatomy Building, one is Wangchuan River, and the other is Lifen Garden.”

Ye Shaoyang asked in surprise, "Wangchuanhe?"

"Oh, it's that black ditch. Because there are many haunted legends, and the water is black, it looks scary, so we privately call it Wangchuan River; No. 3 Anatomy Building is the one directly opposite Life Garden. Building, I heard that the building used to be used for anatomy classes, but it was abandoned later, but there is still a specimen pool in it, and there are some corpses in it."

Ye Shaoyang nodded slowly, knowing that what she was talking about was the building he had noticed before.

"Hey, do you know what's wrong with that building?" An Xiaoqian suddenly lowered her voice and looked at Ye Shaoyang mysteriously.

Ye Shaoyang shook his head dumbly.

"Listen to me, the shape of that building is not a standard rectangle, but a trapezoid with a little curvature on both sides. What is a trapezoid? It's a coffin!"

Ye Shaoyang's heart moved, and he blurted out and asked, "Why did you build the building into this shape?"

"Then who knows, this building was built in the 1960s, and it has been more than 50 years, who knows why. This building was originally used as a classroom, and then because of a very, very terrible thing happened , and then it was discontinued and changed to an anatomy building..."

"What's the matter? Wait a minute, how do you know so clearly?" Ye Shaoyang asked curiously.

"I read it all from the information," An Xiaoqian glanced at Li Xiaoqiang's photo from a distance, and said with a sigh, "It's because of Xiaoqiang, we are both in the student union, and we often go out together. At that time, I saw that he was always running to the archives. I was very curious, so I went to him once and found that he was looking at the archives about Building No. 3. I stood behind him and glanced for a while. Guess what I saw what?"

Before Ye Shaoyang could open his mouth, An Xiaoqian played his true nature of chatterbox, leaned into his ear, and said in a voice that no one else could hear: "It says in the information, in... which year I forgot, anyway, it's No. 3 During the first few years when the building was built, students committed suicide one after another, a total of 50 students committed suicide!"

Ye Shaoyang trembled all over, "Fifty people committed suicide, how is it possible!"

Because of the excitement, the voice was a little louder, which caused several students on the opposite side to turn their heads to look over.

An Xiaoqian didn't make a sound, and waited for them to turn their attention away before saying to Ye Shaoyang: "It's absolutely true, this is recorded in the file, and it said that the people who died were all from the same class, all on the same day. Most of the suicides are by jumping off a building, and some people hang themselves on telephone poles with their belts, and they beat each other to death with sharp weapons..."

Ye Shaoyang thought about the scene, and suddenly felt chills all over his body: After so many years of catching ghosts and subduing demons, he has never seen such a weird thing. Fifty people committed suicide collectively. If it was lured by ghosts, how strong resentment would be required to do it. do it?

"And then, how did the school deal with it?"

"Later, the building was discontinued and used as a mortuary building."

Ye Shaoyang said: "No, I mean, how did this matter be handled? There are so many people, so there is no follow-up?"

An Xiaoqian shook her head and said, "No, I just saw this page and couldn't help crying out. When Xiaoqiang found out, he said I shouldn't read this, so he drove me away. After I went back, I have been thinking about this matter and asked around, but no one knows the news, and I searched the Internet and there is no record.
