Chapter 5 Worm (2)

The students who experienced that summer night all said that her death was related to the "Butterfly Cemetery". The girl's cry seemed to be heard again, Shang Xiaodie took a quick breath, closed her eyes and covered her ears, as if she had returned to the grass on a summer night. When she opened her eyes again, the last frame of the video was still frozen on the screen. butterfly cemetery What exactly is it? June 7 at 15:10 pm In the afternoon, Lu Shuangshuang came. Ten minutes ago, when she was with her new boyfriend, she suddenly received a text message from Shang Xiaodie telling her to go to Xiaodie's dormitory right now.Shuangshuang reluctantly left her boyfriend and came to this quiet dormitory building for girls.

Pushing open the door, I saw Xiaodie sitting blankly, looking at the laptop screen with her hands on her chin.Shouldn't there be any new movies?Shuangshuang went to the back to take a closer look, but saw the "ghost beauty" in the video. Shang Xiaodie told Shuangshuang that this was a CD taken out of her schoolbag. She played the video again, and after Lu Shuangshuang watched it dumbfounded, Xiaodie said in a daze, "It's true!" "Really?" Shuangshuang's lips turned purple, "Is there really 'Ghost Beauty' and 'Butterfly Cemetery'?"

"Come on, let's go to the small warehouse on the ground floor, maybe there are things we've ignored in that red schoolbag." The two girls rushed out of the dormitory and came to the warehouse in the semi-basement on the ground floor. Xiaodie pushed open the small warehouse door that was ajar.I hope everything is a dream, that schoolbag has never been here... The schoolbag is really gone!This time Shang Xiaodie was also stunned. Shuangshuang searched carefully in the warehouse: "Where did it go?" No, it's definitely not a dream, that CD is still in the dormitory!Xiaodie shook her head and said: "When I left last night, the schoolbag was obviously placed on this table."

"It evaporated by itself?" "No--" "By the way, have you told anyone else?" Shuangshuang's words reminded her that Shang Xiaodie lingered a few steps under the dim light, and then rushed out of the small door of the warehouse.Lu Shuangshuang yelled twice from behind, but Xiaodie disappeared without looking back. She went to find Bai Lu. Yes, apart from herself and Lu Shuangshuang, this matter was only told to Bai Lu, and only she knew about the schoolbags in the warehouse on the ground floor.There is also Bai Lu's eyes when he saw the video, and his hurried steps when he left the dormitory. Bai Lu must have done it!

On a small path in the campus, Xiaodie dialed Bai Lu's mobile phone: "You took that schoolbag! Did you?" There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and Bai Lu hummed, "I admit it." "Where are you? I'm going to see you now!" "I'm in the lecture theater in Shaw Building." Three minutes later, Xiaodie ran quickly to the lecture theater.Lectures and other activities are often held here, but at the moment it is empty, only a girl in white is sitting in the last row. "Bai Lu!" Shang Xiaodie ran over to sit beside her, and asked loudly, uncontrollably, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"I'm sorry, I took the red schoolbag." She turned her head and sighed slightly, a small cloud of dust was blown on the small table in the front row. "Why are you doing this? Is this schoolbag yours?" "No." A few strands of hair brushed Bai Lu's eyes, "Because of the 'ghost beauty' in the video!" "You know her?" Bai Lu straightened the hair on her forehead, and said in a sad tone: "She's my sister." This answer caught Xiao Die unexpectedly, but when she thought about it carefully, the woman in white in the video was somewhat similar to Bai Lu.

"Her name is Bai Shuang." Bai Shuang——now I know the name of "Ghost Beauty", which is as beautiful and unique as "Bai Lu".No wonder Bai Lu was so weird when she saw the video, Xiao Die could understand the look of fear in her eyes: "I'm sorry, I never knew you had a sister." "She is not my biological sister." Bai Lu closed her eyes, her mouth trembling slightly, "But we are closer than real sisters. My sister and I were born in a small town in the west and grew up together. There is no blood relationship between us. We don’t even know who our biological parents are, so we were brought up by our elderly adoptive parents. My sister is five years older than me, and she was admitted to S University a few years ago.”

"Your sister is also from S?" "Yeah, that's why I filled in S University as my first choice for the college entrance examination. During the years when my sister was in S University, our adoptive parents died of illness one after another—they were almost 70 years old. We borrowed a lot in our hometown. The money was only used for my sister to finish college and was admitted to a graduate student in the Chinese Department of S University, and she still owes a large debt. By the way, please keep this matter a secret for me." Hearing the rough life experiences of the sisters, Xiaodie's heart immediately softened: "Okay, I promise you. I checked the Internet at noon, and the car accident in the video is real. Did your sister have a car accident last year?"

"Yeah, she was in a car accident—dead..." At this moment, Bai Lu's eye sockets were already red, and Xiao Die looked worried for a while: "I'm sorry." "Last May, a major car accident happened to our students at S University. Meng Bingyu and He Na, sophomore girls from the Department of Biology, went to the suburbs to shoot a DV in an off-road vehicle. He Na's boyfriend drove the car. They returned to the city in the middle of the night. On the way, I picked up my sister Bai Shuang." "Strange, in the wilderness in the middle of the night, why did your sister stop the car there?"

"I want to know the reason too!" Bai Lu lowered her head sadly, "Shortly after my sister got into the car, the off-road vehicle crashed into a large truck. He Na, who was sitting in the front row, died on the spot. My sister was sent to He also died shortly after the hospital. The man who drove the car suffered severe head injuries, and I heard that he has not woken up until now. Only Meng Bingyu survived the catastrophe, suffering only a little flesh injury." Xiaodie clenched her palms tightly: "It really is true! Is the schoolbag your sister's?" "No, it's definitely not my sister's! Since my sister's accident, I vowed to find out the secret of her death. Last year, I was admitted to S University as I wished. I secretly visited people my sister knew before she was alive many times, and investigated her situation before her accident. I also wanted to find Meng Bingyu from the Department of Biology, who was the only survivor of the car accident. But she disappeared mysteriously less than a month after she was discharged from the hospital in the car accident, and there is no news of her yet.”

Although they are in the same dormitory, Bai Lu seldom talks to Xiao Die, this is the most they have talked since they met.Xiaodie tentatively asked: "Did you find any results?" "Butterfly Cemetery—" It was this strange word again, which shot into Xiaodie's eardrum like a bullet: "What? Butterfly Cemetery? What exactly is it?" "The entrance to hell." Bai Lu said slowly after a pause, "My sister really wants to find the 'Butterfly Cemetery'." "No!" Xiaodie's face became more frightened, thinking that she must look ugly now, "By the way, what does your sister mean when she says she is a 'ghost beauty'?" "I don't know. I only heard these three words for the first time from the video at noon. I've never heard them mentioned by my sister before." "Where's the schoolbag? Where's the red schoolbag? Where did you hide it?" Bai Lu shook her head coldly: "This is not your schoolbag." "It's not yours either!" "But it must have had something to do with my sister's death." This sentence left Shang Xiaodie speechless, she lowered her head and remained silent for a long time. Suddenly, Bai Lu grabbed her hand and said, "Xiaodie, can you take me to 'Ghost Creek'? I've never been there. I want to see where you found your schoolbag." "No, I dare not go again." "It's okay, the two of us go together, and nothing will happen in broad daylight." Seeing that Xiaodie was hesitating, Bai Lu's hand tightened, "Please, Xiaodie!" Shang Xiaodie's heart was finally softened: "Okay, I'll take you there." June 7 at 17:20 pm Passing through the colorful garden, Shang Xiaodie took Bai Lu into the quietest corner of the school.Walking carefully along the way, Bai Lu looked around carefully, for fear of missing every detail. When bright oleander flowers appeared in front of her eyes, Xiaodie bit her lip and said, "The Ghost Creek is here!" Walking a few steps forward, the dark green river water appeared in front of my eyes.Bai Lu stared blankly at a pool of green water, and the white mist filled with the cool evening breeze, which made one's hair stand on end.Xiaodie also had goosebumps all over her body, this was the third time she came to this "ghost creek" within two days. The memory of yesterday was still very clear, and she quickly found the place where she found the schoolbag - a piece of grass by the river, where a small piece of grass had been flattened, which was obviously different from the surrounding grass. Bai Lu immediately half-kneeled in the grass: "Is this the place?" "Yes, right under your feet." Regardless of the dirtiness of the river, she touched the grass with her hand and said thoughtfully, "The grass here is not only flattened, but also much shorter than the surrounding grass." "This is due to being oppressed by schoolbags for a long time, so I have never grown taller." "No, the soil under here is also different from the surrounding ones. These grasses only grew in the last year." Xiaodie also thought of something: "You mean this soil has been moved?" "Yeah, maybe there's something buried there!" "what--" An image of a skull or white bones instantly appeared in her mind, Xiaodie shook her head and took two steps back, hugging her shoulders and said: "Let's go quickly, don't think about this anymore." "No! Now that you're here, you must figure it out." Bai Lu stood up from the grass, turned her head and ran towards the flower garden.Xiaodie also followed closely behind her, thinking that she was going to leave here, but she didn't expect that she picked up a shovel from under the grape trellis, and quickly turned back to "Ghost Creek". "What are you going to do?" "leave me alone!" Bai Lu rushed to the small river in one breath, returned to the grass where she found the red schoolbag, and plunged the shovel into the soil heavily. God, is she really crazy?Maybe she didn't even know what she was doing. The sky is getting dark, and soon the ghosts will crawl out of the river.Bai Lu dug the soil vigorously, and the shovel ruthlessly cut open the ground. Xiaodie felt as if she had dug her own stomach. The soil underneath was very loose, and just after digging out a few clumps of grass roots, something was exposed underneath. Thank goodness it wasn't a corpse! Bai Lu dug out a pencil case, lying quietly in the dirt, with a layer of rust on it. Few people use this kind of thing anymore, the box itself is an antique.Bai Lu was so tired that she was sweating, she simply sat on the grass and took out a pencil case from the dirt. Fluttershy took it boldly, and it looked like a metal coffin.Bai Lu immediately got up and took away the pencil case, as if it was her lifeline. Bai Lu carefully opened the pencil case, and the green river water set off her white dress.With a smell of soil, a piece of manuscript paper emerged from the box. By the "ghost creek" at dusk, she gently unfolded the manuscript paper, on which were written several lines of scribbled poems. Shang Xiaodie couldn't see the content of the poem clearly, the color was almost faded, only the title of the manuscript paper could be seen—— butterfly cemetery These four characters were like a scorching flame, causing Xiaodie's eyes to burn hotly, and she almost slipped into the river after taking a few steps back. Bai Lu looked at the manuscript paper and nodded slightly, her eyes sharp and excited.She put the manuscript paper back into the pencil case, wiped the dirt on the surface a little, then hugged it to her chest like a baby, turned her head and ran out of the oleander river bank. "Don't abandon me!" Shang Xiaodie also followed behind her, leaving the "ghost creek" where the night was slowly falling.But Bai Lu in front ran faster and faster, and his white clothes gradually blurred in the dusk, and finally disappeared outside the flower garden. The pencil case dug out by the small river just missed her.She shook her head in disappointment, biting her lip, wondering if it was a blessing or a curse.It turned out that it was buried under the schoolbag, but why take such pains to bury a poem? I really can't figure it out, a white mist floats from the "ghost creek" behind her, Xiaodie hurriedly ran to the girls' dormitory building as if avoiding the plague. June 7 at 20:20 p.m. Shang Xiaodie walked into the dark corridor alone, the door of the small warehouse on the ground floor was still open, but the schoolbag disappeared.She felt a little regretful, she should take a closer look at the contents of the bag last night, especially the class notes - it must be in Bai Lu's hands at this moment. I wanted to have dinner with Shuangshuang, but Shuangshuang said on the phone that I was with her boyfriend.Xiaodie felt a little disappointed, so she could only hastily fill her stomach in the cafeteria alone. Back in the girls' dormitory, she was still alone, but Jin Lingzi was screaming happily.Xiaodie closed the doors and windows tightly, climbed to the upper bunk and lay down quietly, thinking back from yesterday morning to today's dusk - she visited "Ghost Creek" three times, saw the death car accident a year ago, seemed to be away from the mysterious "Butterfly Cemetery" "one step closer. All because of the beauty and the skull butterfly. Turning to look at the window, a few sycamore leaves fell on the glass, like butterfly wings flying in the dark. Xiaodie took out her mobile phone and dialed Bai Lu's number, but the ring rang for a long time but no one answered.She lay on the bed for dozens of minutes, but still no roommate came back.Although I don't usually talk to them very much, the silence now makes people crazy. She simply turned on the computer and went online, and typed four words into the search engine—butterfly cemetery. Dozens of web pages popped up in an instant, but most of them only had "butterfly" and "cemetery".Among them, there is only one webpage that completely matches the four words "butterfly cemetery". When I opened this webpage immediately, it turned out to be a bright picture like a movie poster.In the quiet girls' dormitory at night, Shang Xiaodie stared intently at the laptop screen.Fluorescent light was reflected on her face like ghost fire, and a pair of wings were faintly reflected in her pupils—yes, the homepage of the website was actually a picture of a butterfly, and the gorgeous wings were flying lightly, as if they might fly out of her at any time The computer screen, as if visiting this girl's dormitory again yesterday morning. Because, Shang Xiaodie saw the beauty and the skeleton again. The mysterious butterfly she saw yesterday reappeared on the computer screen at this moment, why didn't it make her feel frightened?On the poster-like homepage picture, there is a lifelike butterfly painted. The left side of the wings is the face of a beautiful woman, and the right side is a creepy skull—exactly the same as the butterfly she had been in close contact with! She was so frightened that she immediately closed the notebook, rubbed her eyes and looked out the window.The butterfly did not appear in the dark night, and she was still the only one in the girl's dormitory.After taking a few deep breaths, she turned on the notebook again, and the homepage of the website reappeared on the screen. Still the butterfly with the beauty and the skeleton. Trembling, I clicked the mouse, and the huge butterfly picture suddenly blurred.The homepage of the website has also become a simple webpage. The background is almost all dark black and purple, and some white text is arranged below, which looks extremely uncomfortable to the eyes. There are four red Chinese characters in italics on the top of the page—— butterfly cemetery The characters are as red as blood, especially on the strokes of the word "butterfly", there is also a butterfly's wings. Shang Xiaodie read out these four words calmly, is this the name of the website? "Butterfly Cemetery" With great difficulty, his eyes moved away from these four words, and moved to the text on the webpage below.In general website homepage design, there are different columns on the homepage. Click on a column to see the web pages in the sub-category, and then there are usually articles or pictures below.But this website is very strange, there is a long string of strange text under the title of the home page—— Do you want to find the Butterfly Cemetery? Every city in the world has a butterfly cemetery, hidden somewhere on the edge of the city. As the name suggests, it is the place where butterflies are buried. We rarely witness the death of butterflies, because they will fly into the butterfly cemetery to wait for death when their life span is approaching. Around the Butterfly Cemetery, there are always many strange legends, either scary or weird, or tragic or poignant. The Butterfly Cemetery is another center of the city, a meeting place for ghosts and a window to hell and heaven. Window to hell and heaven?Is it true or not?Is there really such a "butterfly cemetery" in the world?And right on the edge of our city, maybe on our own side? Xiaodie almost bit her lip, the mouse moved up and down along these paragraphs, and suddenly found that the last line of "hell and heaven" can be clicked. So, the mouse lightly clicked through the "hell and heaven". The screen changed to another web page, and the IP address was still on the "Butterfly Cemetery" website.This webpage also has a background like the night, and a huge picture is slowly opening—— She saw a map. My God, this map is as exquisite as the murals of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. It has been buried underground for three thousand years and is covered with a layer of khaki historical imprint.Xiaodie's heartbeat accelerated again, and the colorful map on the screen, like oleander flowers, hit her eyes, as if that mysterious space had been miniaturized in her computer, and she could walk into the "Butterfly Cemetery" just by stretching her legs ". The map is intertwined with various lines, and there are many strange marks and symbols.She saw skulls, forks, stars, triangles, squares, peach blossoms, crosses, circles...it looked like a big maze.I really can't see where, like a more specific city road map, or a map of an archaeological site?It's like a guide map for some amusement park?Or a map in a strategy game?Like those pictures from "Empire" that boys love. She right-clicked on the properties of the map, and it was a picture in JPG format, with a capacity of more than 200K.Most of the webpage is occupied by this map, and there is a line of handwritten words on the top of the picture—— Butterfly Cemetery Map She said to herself: "Can you find 'Butterfly Cemetery' through this map?" But Shang Xiaodie was completely confused, she couldn't even tell whether the map was in China or a foreign country, let alone which city or place it was. At this moment, the bedroom door opened suddenly, and a gust of cool wind blew onto her back.Xiaodie didn't want to repeat the scene at noon, so she quickly closed the laptop screen. Manli barged in bouncing around, followed by Song You who had been specially dressed.They had just gone to a student club party, and they couldn't stop talking. Shang Xiaodie quietly unplugged the network cable, turned off the computer and put it back in the drawer.Manli and Song You were still talking loudly, Xiaodie sat on the upper bunk and couldn't get in the conversation at all, until they said they were tired before asking: "Have you seen Bai Lu?" Song You turned around unexpectedly, it turned out that she didn't notice Xiaodie on the upper bunk at all: "Oh, I was scared to death, I thought the dormitory was haunted! So you are on the upper bunk, why is there no sound at all .” Manli raised her head and said, "Did you ask Bai Lu? We haven't seen her since the afternoon." Xiaodie continued to curl up on the upper bunk, and dialed Bai Lu's number again.What was waiting for her this time was "Sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off".
