"That's the whole thing." "What do you think, Shana?" I saw that Shana had been taking notes in the notebook she carried with her since just now, and I knew that she had already begun to analyze this matter, although I also thought of some things. , but I¡¯m afraid she didn¡¯t think about it in detail enough.
"Fourth Campus!" Shana drew a circle on the paper: "The whole thing happened around this mysterious area. What exactly is in this so-called Fourth Campus? What is the reason? The emergence of serial murder cases, the whereabouts of Hu Liang's two classmates, and why another classmate went crazy, all these questions revolve around the so-called fourth campus."
"Well, there is also why the school refuses to reveal the information about the fourth campus, and also strictly prohibits students from investigating it, and blocks all related content on the Internet. The school must know something, but why do they keep it secret? What kind of secrets exist in the four campuses?" I added.
"Another point is that some people are starting to stop me from pursuing the secrets of the Fourth Campus. Otherwise, I will not be treated as a suspect by the police. In short, I am afraid that the people and things involved in this Fourth Campus will not be affected. "Master, if I'm the only one here, it might be difficult to find out. Fortunately, Master, you two are here." Hu Liang followed.
Shana rolled her eyes at him angrily: "Don't fight with us. Haha, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be bothered to deal with such a thankless thing. Besides, four people would have died on this day. It's so troublesome." Unfortunately, we will eventually encounter ghost kings or demon-level opponents, and the losses will be even greater."
Hearing Xia Na¡¯s complaint, Hu Liang had to apologize again and again. I tried to smooth things over and said, ¡°Okay, okay, let¡¯s talk about how to sneak into the school first. Otherwise, how will we investigate this matter?¡±
"There is no problem with this." Hu Liang said seriously: "The school does not prohibit the entry and exit of students' families. As long as I enter the school with you, the school police will not make things difficult for us. In addition to the necessary procedures such as registering your identity, basically you can Stay at school for a few days."
"That's easy to handle." I turned back to Shana and said, "Why don't we go to the campus to investigate tomorrow morning."
"The school must go in, but there is one more thing we can do first tomorrow." Shana said with a smile: "Have you forgotten about Li Zhe? He is from the fourth campus, so, I I feel like we have to get in touch with him first and see if we can find some useful clues.¡±
"Li Zhe?" I frowned and said, "Isn't he crazy? Can you communicate with a madman?"
"Crazy is crazy, but you can guarantee that he is not pretending to be crazy. You have to know that the three of them entered the fourth campus together, but only Li Zhe was able to come out. Based on this alone, there is a need to contact this person. ." Shana tapped the table with her fingers and said: "Furthermore, didn't Hu Liang say that Li Zhe likes to study some supernatural events at home and abroad? I'm sure he will know some strange skills and magic methods that can make him walk out of the fourth campus alive. maybe."
Hu Liang scratched his head and said, "No way, Li Zhe seems to be a very ordinary person. Except that he likes to talk about mysterious things, I don't see anything special about him."
"Hu Liang, don't underestimate everyone. Even an ordinary person may have some abilities that you can't match. Since Li Zhe can come out of the fourth campus, there must be something about him that we don't know. Ability, so I agree with Shana¡¯s opinion, let¡¯s go meet your classmate first tomorrow.¡±
"Well, let's meet at the school gate tomorrow morning, and then I will take you to the city mental hospital."
"The time will be around eight o'clock." Shana added: "It's getting late now, why don't we go have a meal together, and then Hu Liang goes back to school, and the two of us can find a hotel to stay. "
I opened the window, and the night wind poured into this room on the 12th floor. Looking out from the window, School S not far away was dormant in the night like a giant beast, with a few red clouds floating in the sky. Under the sky, in the huge shadow of School S, there was an uneasy atmosphere. Just looking in that direction, I felt a tightness in my chest, and I couldn't help but take a few deep breaths of the cool night breeze.
"What, are you worried?"
Shana came behind me at some point. She hugged me gently from behind and asked softly.
"One thing." I said: "I don't know why, when I looked in that direction, I felt a threat, like a dragon guarding its treasure, and we are the treasure hunters. In that school, there are What doesn¡¯t want us to reveal the secrets it guards?¡±
"There is no eternal secret in the world." Shana said behind me: "This matter is related to Hu Liang, and we have to uncover it."Well, there are many students of Hu Liang¡¯s age in the school. Those are young lives. If we don¡¯t know about this matter, that¡¯s it. Now that we know it, it¡¯s even more important to solve it. No, otherwise, I'm afraid more lives will be lost under that mysterious fourth campus. "
"You're right, it seems that my courage has become weaker, and I have become timid before I even investigated this matter." I said with a smile.
Shana let me go, but sighed softly: "It's not that you have become timid, you are just afraid that Gu Yue's incident will happen again."
My smile suddenly froze, and the image of Gu Yue standing in front of me flashed through my mind. Unknowingly, my hands had clenched into fists: "No, I will never let something like that happen again."
Shana¡¯s hand grasped my fist, she leaned her head on my back and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry for reminding you of unpleasant things.¡±
"It's okay, Shana, you are right. I was really scared just now. Like when I was in J City, I always thought that I had become strong enough. But when Gu Yue died in front of me, I realized that I How weak and powerless is what I fear most. I'm afraid that I can't protect you, or even other people around me. That's why I'm eager to learn the secret of 'Xuanyuan Lock', because I want to get greater protection. Strength, come and protect the people I want to protect.¡±
"It's too selfish of you to think like this!"
Shana smiled and said: "Am I, Shana, such a weak woman in your eyes? Don't forget that it wasn't because of me that you saved your life, so don't say anything to protect me. , as long as you promise me that you will face everything with me, that will be enough."
I turned around, looked at Shana, and said after a long time: "At least, let me stand in front of you."
Shana suddenly let out a laugh and said, "You can stand wherever you want. Okay, don't put on such a serious face. It's getting late. Go to bed. You'll still be busy tomorrow."
I nodded, watched Shana walk out of the room, and then slapped myself hard in the face. I really thought too much. Even if there was an old monster like Tianhu Daji hidden in that school, We can discuss it later when we meet. Otherwise, we will start worrying about this and that now. How can we continue to investigate this matter? To say the least, even if we meet a demon of the same level or even stronger than Tianhu, we may not be able to do it. There is no way to think about it. The so-called problem depends on people.
But in my heart, I still told myself that I must never let what happened to Gu Yue happen again in front of me, otherwise, I might collapse.
I turned off the lights and lay on the bed. I tossed and turned for a while before I fell asleep. Although I fell asleep, I had a strange dream.
I dreamed about Guyue. I dreamed that she was planting flowers in a garden. In the dream, I only saw her side face. Her face looked peaceful and happy. She was carefully watering the flowers. When I was wet, I was about to walk over and greet her. She seemed to be aware of my arrival. Guyue stood up from the flowers, with a bright smile on her face. She was about to greet me. Suddenly, her Her face changed, and a large black mist surged up from the ground around her. Countless beautiful flowers quickly withered after coming into contact with the black mist. I was so anxious that I ran towards Guyue, but no matter what, He couldn't get even a tiny bit closer to her.
Guyue gradually blurred in the black fog, and I saw her twisting and changing like a shadow. After a moment, the back of a girl wearing a student uniform from the early Republic of China and with medium-long hair appeared in front of me. She Gradually turning around, I saw a delicate face. Although her eyes were closed, her picturesque facial features made people think that she was from the painting.
But as those eyes opened, the angel suddenly turned into a demon.
Those were a pair of purple eyes. I only saw hatred and resentment in those eyes. Apart from that, there was no other emotion. I looked at those eyes and couldn't look away for a moment. Suddenly, the scene changed. In front of my eyes, the girl with purple eyes disappeared, replaced by huge waves sweeping the world. A white line rolled up on the horizon, and then the white line expanded extremely quickly, enough to A huge sea wall a hundred meters high was pressing towards me. At that moment, fear once again gripped my heart. I yelled.
But I sat up from the bed. I was still in the hotel room. There was no Gu Yue, no girl with purple eyes, and no huge waves. There were only strands of golden threads shooting in from outside the curtains. I pulled the curtains open with one hand, and suddenly , the bright sunshine made me squint my eyes.
Unconsciously, it turned out that a whole night had passed.
According to the agreement we made with Hu Liang yesterday, we met at the gate of School S, and then Hu Liang took us to the mental hospital in City Q.
 "This municipal mental hospital is located on the outskirts of Q City, surrounded by mountains and rivers. The environment is quite beautiful. We walked across the large lawn several hundred meters wide and came to the gate of the hospital. Hu Liang showed her student ID , explained the purpose of the visit to the nurse on duty. "We want to meet a man named Li Zhe. He is my classmate. He came here two days ago. We want to meet him."
The nurse asked us to visit Li Zhe after consulting the doctor in charge. She took us up to the second floor. Once we reached the second floor, we heard many voices, some of which seemed to be mumbling to themselves. Some were shouting angrily, others were throwing things, and the long corridor was filled with all kinds of inexplicable sounds.
We followed the nurse into the corridor. There were a row of rooms on both sides of the corridor. The rooms were locked with iron doors, and only a small window was opened on the door for observation.
"Ms. Nurse, how is Li Zhe's condition?" I asked.
"The patient Li Zhe is judged by the doctor to have moderate delusional disorder. He has not shown obvious irritability or aggressive behavior yet, but he has obvious fear. As soon as people approach him, he will be very scared and shout. "Don't kill me"." The nurse answered my question, and as she walked, she had already taken us to Li Zhe's room.
Looking in from the observation window outside the iron gate, Li Zhe is painting on the wall, but those things can only be called graffiti at best. Basically, we can't see what the meaning of the paintings is, but the picture is filled with a lot of graffiti. The black color makes people feel an invisible heaviness.
"You can only watch from the outside. The doctor has told me that being too close to the patient may aggravate his emotions." The nurse said to us with a smile.
Shana chuckled and said, "I'm afraid that won't work."
The nurse was stunned. Shana had already put a hand on her eyebrows. She heard Shana say in a low and gentle voice: "Come on, open the door for us. We will only go in for a short time. It won't cause any trouble to you."
There was an obvious look of struggle on the nurse's face, but in the end, she opened the door for us.
In the black paint on the four walls, Li Zhe used white paint to draw countless dots. It can be seen that every two dots form a pair, looking like a pair of eyes. There are countless dots in the darkness. eyes, what does Li Zhe imply?
As soon as we entered the room, Li Zhe was like an easily frightened rabbit. He almost jumped up. He originally had a paintbrush in his hand, but when he saw us, he was so frightened that he even dropped the paintbrush. The man huddled in the corner, holding his head tightly with his hands. Only a pair of frightened and incomprehensible eyes appeared from the gap in his arms, and he kept shouting.
"Don't come over, don't come over"
The voice was full of deep fear, as if we were man-eating beasts. Hu Liang took two steps forward, but Li Zhe suddenly shouted as if he saw a ghost, stood up, turned around and faced the wall, his body shaking violently. .
"Li Zhe, it's me, I'm Hu Liang, you won't forget me, will you?"
Hu Liang said softly. As he spoke, he slowly approached Li Zhe. Shana and I stood still for fear of scaring Li Zhe.
Hearing Hu Liang's voice, Li Zhe seemed to recognize him. He slowly turned his head, but only glanced at Hu Liang, and then screamed strangely, as if to avoid Hu Liang, Li Zhe shouted He ran from the wall to the door, but when he passed Hu Liang, he saw us and couldn't help but scream again. But at this time, he stopped running. He just squatted on the ground, put his head in his hands and shouted: "Don't kill me." ,Do not kill me¡¡"
Li Zhe was originally wearing a loose striped patient gown. As soon as he put his hands on his head, the sleeves on both sides slid down. In this way, part of his arms were exposed. We saw that there was a sharp knife on his left wrist. The instrument scratched the skin, and the scar formed a five-pointed star shape, but this five-pointed star was upside down.
When Shana saw the five-pointed star, she was immediately startled. She rushed to Li Zhe in one stride. Regardless of Li Zhe's loud howling, Shana grabbed his wrist and looked at it carefully.
The frightened Li Zhe was about to bite Xia Na. Hu Liang saw it from the side and immediately held down his head. I quickly came to the side to help Li Zhe hold on to prevent him from hurting Xia Na. After Xia Na looked at it for a long time, Then he murmured: "This is Western black magic. Is this why he saved his life?"
But at this moment, a middle-aged man¡¯s voice shouted loudly outside the door: ¡°What are you doing? Who allowed you to come in!¡±
We let go of Li Zhe and headed outside the door
look
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out, and a middle-aged man in his forties walked in. He was wearing a pair of glasses and a majestic beard, and he looked quiteHe was surprised when he saw the nurse with blank eyes, but when he snapped his fingers in the nurse's ear, the nurse gradually came to her senses. At this time, it was reversed. Shana was surprised.
Shana used ordinary hypnosis on the nurse, but it also used force to shock the nurse's brain nerves to achieve deep hypnosis. But now she was easily hypnotized by a seemingly ordinary middle-aged man, and she couldn't help but " "Eh" sound.
After the nurse woke up, she saw the scene in the room and the man's voice next to her. She was shocked and said: "Dean, why are you here? They, they were not let in by me. I"
The nurse defended herself anxiously, but the man who turned out to be the director of the hospital waved his hand and said, "You go first, let me handle it here."
After watching the nurse leave, the dean said: "A few of you are very brave. You actually hypnotized people from our hospital and entered the patient's room casually. If you don't have a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid I can only inform the police." ."
I quickly said to the dean: "Mr. dean, please bear with me. We are looking for this patient to find out something about several lives, so we used some small tricks."
"Is it related to human life?" The dean thought for a moment and said, "This patient was just sent from S School two days ago. Is it because of the serial murder cases that occurred in S School in the past two days? But the murder case occurred in S School. What happened after this patient was sent to our hospital, what does it have to do with him, and also, in what capacity are you investigating this matter, as far as I can see, it is probably not the police."
"The murder case really has nothing to do with him, but he is the only person who ran away from a dangerous mysterious area, and since he came out of that place, there have been many murder cases, so we I would like to find him to understand the situation."
"What can you learn about a crazy person?" the dean said with a sneer.
"That's not the case." Shana said before me. She grabbed Li Zhe's hand and raised his wrist: "For example, this inverted five-pointed star should be a piece of Western black magic. I can definitely guess. , Li Zhe survived because of this thing."
After hearing what Shana said, the dean's expression changed and he said in a deep voice, "Do you recognize what is on this patient's wrist?"
Just now, when she saw that the dean easily solved her hypnosis, Xia Na guessed that the dean of the hospital was probably not an ordinary person, so she revealed something. Now looking at the dean's reaction, Xia Na knew that she had made the right bet, although she didn't You know what this man is good at, but he obviously also knows something about black magic.
"So, the dean also knows about black magic?" Shana chuckled.
Knowing that he had spilled the beans, it was too late to retort at this time. Under the gaze of three pairs of our eyes, the dean nodded: "When the patient first came to our hospital, I discovered that this patient The mark on the wrist is a type of black magic. Please come to my office to discuss the specific situation."
"So, the dean will no longer hold us accountable for entering the patient's room without permission." Shana said with a smile as she let go of Li Zhe. A smile appeared on the serious face of the dean: "If you didn't recognize what was on the patient's wrist, I would definitely treat you as nonsense people, but now, I am interested in hearing about the so-called murder case in your mouth , and that mysterious area, I'm sorry, my curiosity is just a little bit stronger."
After saying these words, the dean walked out of the room first. The three of us looked at each other and decided that it would be okay to chat with the dean for a while, and maybe we could learn more from his mouth, such as This Western black magic.
After arriving at the office, the dean sat down with us on the sofa in the office. He personally poured us a few cups of tea before introducing himself and saying: "My name is Bai Hua. I studied in the UK in my early years and also participated in A Western paranormal society, that¡¯s why they knew what was on the patient¡¯s wrist, but what I didn¡¯t expect was that there would actually be people who could actually use that thing.¡±
"Dean Bai, I'll tell you the truth about what the black magic on Li Zhe's wrist is. Although I can guess that it is black magic, I don't know what kind of it it is. I hope the dean can give us some information." Tell me." Shana said sincerely.
Bai Hua smiled: "Before telling me what I know, could you please tell me the whole story? If you want my help, I think I have the right to know something."
Bai Hua stood up and took out a notebook on his desk. The notebook was a black leather notebook with a small metal buckle. He opened it carefully. We saw that there were some strange things recorded in the notebook. graphics, I saw Bai Hua flipping to otherHe clicked on a page, then turned the book in one direction and showed it to us.
"Look, this figure should be the one on the patient's hand."
There was an inverted five-pointed star drawn in the book, which was the same as the one in Li Zhe's hand. The difference was that in addition to the same strange symbol marked on the center of the five-pointed star as Li Zhe's, there were also different symbols on the other five corners. There is a small symbol, and underneath the five-pointed star is written a piece of English that seems to be a mantra.
"This is?"
"This is a type of Western black magic." Bai Hua said slowly: "It is a magic that uses the power of the devil Satan to seal the soul. Generally speaking, people who use this kind of magic will engrave this pattern on their This magic can be used on the personal belongings of the person you want to deal with, and then through spells and blood sacrifices. But I have never heard of anyone using this magic on themselves. What is the purpose of this patient doing this? Seal My own soul?¡±
Bai Hua¡¯s last sentence seemed to be a joke, but we all screamed at the same time.
"Seal the soul!"
We almost thought at the same time that this sealed soul was probably the key to Li Zhe getting out of the fourth campus, and also the reason why he went crazy. As for why he did this, only he himself knows.
