Fire Game

Chapter 22: Photo

"This, is this blood?"

Liu Yun, who was cleaning the northeast corner, looked at a dark red mark on the wall in disbelief.

"It shouldn't be, maybe it's some kind of paint."

Xing Xianru next to him glanced at it and shook his head, reminding: "Don't think about it, hurry up, it's getting late."

The seven people did their best and spent more than 20 minutes cleaning the abandoned dormitory.

The cobwebs on the corner ceilings were also removed.

Uncle Wang is indeed a kind-hearted person, at least more reasonable than the aunts who manage the girls' dormitories.

Not only did she make an exception to take in Xing Xianru and a few girls, but she also brought her own bedding for a few people.

"It's a bit old, don't dislike it."

"thanks!"

Liu Yun bowed to Uncle Wang in a good manner, causing the other party to wave his hand.

"Don't think too much, it's getting late, rest early."

Uncle Wang sighed and walked out.

Dong Qin, who was standing at the door, locked the door.

"Tonight, I can only aggrieve everyone and make do with one night on the ground."

Chen Peien, who had laid out the quilt with Duan Rongshu and Ye Xin, stood up straight.

"Don't feel wronged!"

Liu Yun hurriedly said, "As long as everyone is together, you can sleep on the street."

Chen Pei'en nodded lightly and glanced at the dark sky outside.

"what time is it now?"

Duan Rongshu looked a little tired and said, "It's almost eleven o'clock."

Eleven o'clock.

This means that they have been here for almost three days.

"What's the matter with you?"

Hu Rui, who had been holding back until now, finally couldn't help it, looked at the crowd and asked: "I said before that I wanted to kill you, but Zhang Shoushan obviously didn't jump down by himself, but you didn't say a word to the police, what are you..."

"Don't you still understand?"

Hu Rui's tone stopped, and her eyes turned to Xing Xianru.

"Clear what?"

Xing Xianru looked at her expressionlessly.

"The legend of Meilan Mountain is not a rumor, but the truth. The dormitory was locked from the inside, and no one could enter. Since Zhang Shoushan didn't fall by himself, what do you think killed him?"

Hu Rui's expression changed, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.

"You, you mean... there are... ghosts?"

Xing Xianru did not respond.

The experience in the restaurant bathroom convinced her that ghosts must have started attacking them.

"If you didn't fall on the mountain, we would be fine."

"That's why you doubt me?"

Hu Rui clenched her hands tightly, bit her lip, and was angry and anxious, "I really didn't mean it, and, as you all know, Zhang Shoushan didn't look back at that time, even if it was a ghost, it can't be said that I harmed him. !"

According to the legend of Meilan Mountain, this is indeed the truth.

"Then explain why you lost your bracelet, which was so important to you, after one night?"

Xing Xianru's eyes were sharp, as if she could read people's hearts.

"me…"

Hu Rui was speechless.

"Okay, stop arguing!"

Duan Rongshu couldn't stand it any longer, and interjected, "What are you doing? Are you in the nest? Zhang Shoushan just had an accident. If it's really the work of a female ghost, we should be united!"

"Everyone has seen the picture just now, and everyone doesn't want to be next, right?!"

Everyone fell silent.

Liu Yun's face turned pale.

It was the first time in her life that she saw a dead person.

And died so tragically.

"Huh..."

Duan Rongshu sighed heavily and suggested, "I think, just in case, when you go to bed at night, you have to arrange a vigil."

"I agree!"

Dong Qin immediately nodded.

Zhang Shoushan died in this building, so staying here is not absolutely safe.

Who can guarantee that ghosts won't sneak their hands when they are all asleep?

"I agree!"

Liu Yun followed closely.

"Since that's the case, then everyone will be vigilant in batches, one person for an hour. Once you find something wrong, you must wake everyone up in time."

Chen Pei'en asked: "If there is no opinion, then decide the order of the vigil."

"I'll come first."

Ye Xin, who has always been taciturn, spoke coldly, causing everyone to look at him unexpectedly.

Chen Pei'en, who originally planned to set an example by himself, did not hesitate, nodded and said, "Then Ye Xin is the first, I am the second, who will be the third?"

"I come!"

As the only remaining man, Duan Rongshu was not resigned.

The order was quickly decided.

After the three men, Xing Xianru, Liu Yun, and Dong Qin came to watch the night, and Hu Rui was placed at the end.

"Okay, just follow this order. When the time is up, wake up the next person to take over. Let's rest."

Several people lay down together, Chen Pei'en looked at Ye Xin, "It's hard work."

Ye Xin, who was sitting against the wall, shook his head.

For safety's sake, the lights are on.

Except for Ye Xin, the others slept next to each other on the ground. Although it was almost the early morning, no one actually had much sleepiness.

Even if he couldn't sleep, no one spoke, and everyone was silently thinking about their thoughts.

Tick, tick, tick...

Time passed quietly.

With the darkness of the night, sleepiness struck silently, and even Xing Xianru, who had been staring at the ceiling with her eyes open, closed her eyes.

Ye Xin glanced at it and found that everyone was asleep.

In her sleep, Hu Rui pursed her lips unconsciously, and turned over.

At this time, she looked like a harmless girl, without any danger.

After pausing for a while, Ye Xin's gaze shifted to the balcony.

The night was like ink, it was pitch black outside the window, and I couldn't see my fingers, as if there was something terrifying hidden in the darkness, waiting for an opportunity.

Could it be that you really just think too much?

Ghosts kill, in fact, there are no rules at all?

Looking out of the window, Ye Xin, who was sitting against the wall, stretched out his hand into his jacket pocket and took out a piece of paper.

This is a photo. He was pressed by a chair when he was disturbing the hygiene. He picked it up.

Ye Xin wiped the dust off the photo.

This must be left over from the students who used to live in this dormitory. In the photo, the sky is bright and the four boys are colluding and facing the camera with bright smiles.

Across different time and space, they can feel their good mood at that time.

It's just that the mahogany octagonal pavilion behind them, serving as the background, made Ye Xin's eyes flash.

this is not…

The pavilion at the top of Meilan Mountain?

Her fingers suddenly felt uneven, Ye Xin looked at the corner of the photo and found a string of dates printed there.

1996.2.29

Ye Xin frowned. After a while, she raised her head and turned to look at the northeast corner, where Liu Yun was cleaning just now.

The dark red piece has withstood the invasion of the years and is still hanging on the wall, as if warning of something.

"Dah."

Sudden.

A hand rested silently on Ye Xin's shoulder.

Chen Peien didn't know when he got up and stood in front of him.
