Chapter 5 Chapter 4

Bi Lang was a little disappointed. Kelly said that he was invited to visit Wanli Plaza. He thought it was just the two of them.But Kelly even brought Logan and Xiao Nan. Simply, Bi Lang took Mr. Xiang with him.He was afraid that something would happen to the nervous Mr. Xiang staying in the dormitory. A group of people took the bus and arrived at Wanli Plaza in dozens of minutes. Standing at the gate of the square, Bi Lang subconsciously looked up at the signboard of "Wanli Plaza".The wide characters distorted into "corpse" in the dim light of night regained their vigorous and vigorous strokes in broad daylight.From the perspective of calligraphy alone, the characters are well written, but the dot on the head of Guang characters is over-hooked, and painting a tiger is not an anti-dog. No wonder people regard it as a corpse character.

I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but when Bi Lang walked into the square, he faintly felt an indescribably oppressive atmosphere.Even in broad daylight, the light in the square is very weak, and a huge and strong atmosphere of destruction is entrenched in every dark corner.The wind seems to be hollow, blowing on the body without mass, reminiscent of ghosts who have been wiped out. A middle-aged woman with a poodle walking towards him. The dog suddenly stopped beside them and barked desperately behind Mr. Xiang, as if it had discovered something sinister.The sense of smell of animals is more sensitive than that of humans, and they usually detect strange smells that humans cannot know.

Bi Lang immediately became inexplicably nervous, and Kelly and the others obviously didn't take the puppy's abnormal behavior to heart.Logan walked over to pet the dog, but the puppy barked at her, and she was so frightened that she hid behind Bi Lang with a pale face. What a fierce puppy. However, Mr. Xiang was indifferent to the dog's barking.Normal people would usually run away in such a situation, but Young Master Xiang remained motionless facing the puppy.Bi Lang saw that Mr. Xiang was staring at the dog viciously, with a strange expression floating on his dark cheeks. It was the first time he had seen such evil eyes.The kind-hearted Mr. Xiang even cares about the stray cats on campus. It is impossible for him to give such a scary look to a puppy.

Bi Lang suddenly felt a chill behind him, and an idea crossed his mind.The thought was so terrifying that chills shivered through his body.He actually felt that Mr. Xiang was like another person at this time, or that another person was occupying Mr. Xiang's body! Looking at each other, the puppies were quickly defeated.Even it was afraid of Mr. Xiang's gloomy gaze, and cowered at the feet of its master, howling in a low voice, its watery eyes full of submission and pleading. The owner picked up the frightened animal and walked away. Mr. Xiang turned his head, his face was gloomy, and even a sly smile appeared, as if he was mocking his opponent's overreaching.

Bi Lang turned his head quickly before meeting his sinister gaze. A group of people went up to the second floor. Kelly took everyone to her mother's shop for a while. The relationship between mother and daughter seems to be very good.Her mother lovingly helped Kelly tidy her hair, and suddenly said: "By the way, I met Sunny's sister on the street a few days ago, and talked to her for a while. Well, since Sunny died, her mood seems to have always been Nothing recovered." "Mom..." Kelly called out, trying to stop her from continuing. "It's no wonder that the two of them have been dependent on each other since their parents died, and their relationship must be very good..." Her mother noticed Kelly's dissatisfied gaze when she said this, and she obediently closed her mouth and did not continue.But these incomplete words were enough to stir up waves in Bi Lang's heart.

Sunny has passed away... The boy he'd never been able to replace had captured Kelly's heart in such an eternal way. It is impossible for her city to accommodate another resident. Bi Lang sighed.The moment he raised his head, his and Kelly's eyes briefly met.His eyes are very sad, just like the title of a certain writer's book, sadness flows upstream. After coming out of Kelly's mother's shop, everyone went up to the next floor. The mall is huge and has a wide variety of products.Everyone happily browsed the luxuries that middle school students could not afford, just looking but not buying, walking around swaggeringly under the contemptuous eyes of the salesperson, enjoying the behavior of building their own happiness on the pain of others.

Only Mr. Xiang followed behind them silently, without saying a word, like a walking corpse without a soul.Originally, Bi Lang also wanted to talk to Mr. Xiang, so that he would not fall into a lonely situation where no one would pay attention to him.But when Bi Lang saw Mr. Xiang's gloomy expression, he couldn't help but retreat. Mr. Xiang's whole body exudes the aura of not being close to others. A completely different boundary demarcates a dank territory around his body.The icy sea water and the warm flame are turbulent on the other side. Later, when everyone stopped in front of a boutique to look at all kinds of cute boutiques in the window, Mr. Xiang patted Bi Lang on the shoulder and pointed to the location of the toilet: "I'll go to the toilet."

Then, he walked over to the toilet.The aisle leading to the toilet is deserted, and it looks barren and empty under the thin light. Bi Lang raised his eyes and looked over there, it was just a tiny subconscious movement, it could be said that it didn't make any sense.He saw Mr. Xiang in the aisle, his back merged with the cold backlight.In the next few seconds, he realized that it was not Mr. Xiang's back. Instead, there was someone following Mr. Xiang. When Mr. Xiang turned into the toilet, the man followed suit.The instantly revealed profile made Bi Lang's blood freeze.That is obviously a woman!Wearing a papery white dress, with long hair, a low waist, and a light walk.The chilling white shadow in the green air.In just one thousandth of a second, Bi Lang's eyes were clearly focused on the woman's face. Her face was so pale that there was no blood in it. The most prominent thing was that her tongue stuck out so long that it limply stuck to the woman's face. jaw!

Bi Lang's scalp became numb from the sight.The image at this moment made it impossible for him to judge whether it was a hallucination or reality. That's obviously a female ghost! However, when Mr. Xiang came out of the toilet again, he didn't see that terrifying figure again. The atmosphere in the square was extremely weird at this time, strands of sparse light slowly dissipated above the head, and the cold tones were scattered like powder.And the air-conditioning wind constantly blowing out from the shop makes people feel even more chilly and windy. Bi Lang wanted to leave this place quickly, but others were in high spirits, and he didn't want to disturb everyone's elegance, so he had to follow behind worriedly.He thought his face must be ugly, because Xiao Nan turned around and asked him if he was sick.

He forced a smile and said it was all right, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and looked behind him. Mr. Xiang is not behind. Strange, he was obviously still behind just now. "Did you see a pretty girl running away with someone?" Tang Wan said jokingly. Bi Lang was not interested in joking at all at this time, he looked around anxiously, it was really hard to find Mr. Xiang in the bustling shopping mall. "Call his cell phone!" Xiao Nan reminded. "Yes, yes." Bi Lang suddenly realized, quickly took out his mobile phone, and quickly dialed a series of numbers.

The phone is connected. "Young Master Xiang, where are you?" "I am in front of you." "what?" Bi Lang was taken aback.What do you say?He is poking his head out of the corridor to observe the situation below the mall. There is a piece of air in front of him. How can Mr. Xiang be in front of him? He is wondering.Suddenly, a black shadow fell heavily from above him, covering his sight. Before Bi Lang had time to take a closer look, he saw Mr. Xiang falling in front of him with his head down. He held his mobile phone to his ear, and gave Bi Lang the weirdest smile before he died.Immediately, there was a dull bang from downstairs, and the screams of many people erupted like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time, burning Bi Lang's eardrums scorchingly. On the cold floor downstairs, blood spattered from a certain point, and the black figures gathered around were as exquisite as a painting.The blood slowly boiled and evaporated under the sunlight, releasing a huge smell of death.The dead man's pale face and calmly opened eyes revealed a strange calmness, and his eyes gradually lost their luster, indicating that a lamp of life would be extinguished. The deformed limbs exude a terrifying aura, the hands are still placed at the ears, and the phone screen keeps displaying "calling".The last words "I am in front of you" still linger in Bi Lang's mind. He knelt down, clutched his chest, and started to vomit.The filth from the stomach fundus and the stimulating gastric juice unstoppably broke through the fragile defense line of the throat. He felt as if everything in his body had been vomited clean. Who is crying resentfully in the dream?A pitch-black dream, as if a girl's long, soft hair flutters in front of her eyes.The sorrow floating in the depths, in the form of liquid, slowly flows to the dry crevice. He opened heavy eyelids.This is the dormitory, he could vaguely recognize it, but it wasn't his bed, and the smell of the quilt seemed strange.Oh, it must be the upper berth of Mr. Xiang who died just now. But how could he sleep on it? He thought about going back to his own bed, but he couldn't move, his body was tightly pressed against the bed board, unable to move at all, as if he had become a part of the bed board and could not be pulled away.Only the eyes can move freely, and at a narrow angle, the only thing that can be seen clearly is the mold on the ceiling. Something dripped his nose.He couldn't touch it with his hands, but the smell of blood penetrated clearly into his nostrils. Blood dripping from the ceiling! Drops of blood kept hitting his face and the quilt, and he heard the slight sound of skin being hit.The quilt was soaked, and his body was also soaked in the quilt, soaked in putrid blood, like a corpse soaked in formalin, all organs were ossified. He stared intently at the mildew on the ceiling.It protruded slowly, and the lines and outlines gradually turned into a real body. A terrifying face emerged. It can't be called a face, and there are no so-called facial features. After the skin is peeled off, blurred flesh and blood are left, and the broken flesh hangs on the pale bones. The black nostrils seem to penetrate the entire skull, and sticky brains flow out of it.The long black hair fluttered in the wind of unknown origin, twisting and wriggling, like a black snake with strong venom in the swamp.The bloodstains on the school uniform swallowed the blue and white uniform color in a deep red. He felt his stomach churning and wanted to vomit but couldn't.There is a feeling of emptiness in the body, as if all the internal organs have been hollowed out. The female ghost gave a sinister smile from above, and then slowly pressed down like a dense cloud.Suspended inches from his eyes.He could even smell the mournful breath coming out of the cracks in her face. He was in extreme panic, and his pupils hurt as if they had been gouged out.Every joint of the body is still motionless, being locked tightly.He felt more and more hopeless. Suddenly, the female ghost stretched out her carrion-like white hands and grabbed his neck tightly, cutting off the breath in her throat.He couldn't breathe, the oxygen in his brain was exhausted, and his blood vessels were almost bursting. Did he suffocate to death? His consciousness seemed to sink into the deeper and colder seabed. At this moment, the consciousness that had almost sunk into the deep sea was grabbed by some kind of force and pulled him up quickly.The sun shone on the sea level, and he experienced the warmth of returning to the world.The wake-up clock at half past six still rings in his ears. It's just a dream. Bi Lang sat up from the bed, wiping the cold sweat off his forehead with lingering fear.He checked the quilt and all the places on the bed, and he breathed a long sigh of relief when he found no trace of blood. What a horrible nightmare.He sat on the edge of the bed, slowly waiting for his mood to calm down. The other two roommates in the dormitory, Zhang Tianyou and De Lin, just came back from the shower room.Mr. Xiang had just died a few days ago, and everyone was in a bad mood.Delin looked over with a melancholy expression, and said to Bi Lang in a slightly surprised tone: "Hey, Bi Lang, you seem to have a few pinch marks on your neck." Bi Lang suddenly turned pale with fright, and ran into the bathroom to look in the mirror without even wearing slippers. Facing the mirror, trembling, he lifted his collar slightly, and saw that there were indeed a few vague scars on his neck, as if he had been strangled by someone.But that was just the claw mark on his neck when he was playing with the dog before.It happened a long time ago, with scars and faint traces left. The pinch mark that De Lin mentioned was referring to this. He was worried and frightened. He thought there would be a weird pinch mark like Mr. Xiang's. He couldn't help but think of Mr. Xiang jumping from the upstairs of Wanli Plaza that day. "I am in front of you." I die before you! I was very upset.Bi Lang simply skipped class and went to an Internet cafe outside the school to surf the Internet. There is a mixed bag of fish and dragons in the Internet cafe, and you can meet classmates wearing the same school uniform during class time. Bi Lang picked an empty seat, and sitting next to him was a social youth with dyed yellow hair, smoking a cigarette, and kept yelling at his father and mother.Bi Lang saw that the other party was playing World of Warcraft, and obviously lost badly, and was killed by the demons without leaving any.The young man with yellow hair was so angry that he slapped the keyboard and cursed: "Today is really unlucky! I lost again!" The owner of the Internet cafe watching the battle patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Boy, you are not qualified to play World of Warcraft with Cat. He is the No.1 player in my store!" "No wonder, no wonder!" The young man with yellow hair admitted his bad luck and took out ten yuan from his pocket.At this time, Bi Lang stretched out a hand from the opposite computer desk, took the ten yuan, and heard the man say proudly: "Thank you." So he leaned forward a little, and saw clearly that the man was also wearing their school uniform.But the man's face was covered by the 17-inch computer monitor, and he couldn't see it unless he leaned his whole body over. Bi Lang felt that it was rude and boring to do so. All he knew was that Cat was a boy from the same school, and that was enough. Bi Lang played the game for a while, and then read the news online.Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he searched for the word "human skin lamp" on Google, and all kinds of searched content were immediately listed on the web page.However, none of them was what he expected.He added the words "ghost story" to continue searching. He kept clicking on the next page to read, and suddenly, his eyes were attracted by one of the contents—— "Absolutely real and horrific human skin lamp ghost revenge incident". He entered that website—Hundred Ghost Night Talk.The background of the website is a creepy late-night cemetery, obviously this is a website dedicated to ghost stories.The registered name of the webmaster quoted a very popular novel, and it just so happened that the address written in its message was also Guangzhou. People who live in the same city! Thinking about it, Bi Lang couldn't help but slowly flip through the contents.There is a summary of supernatural events about Wanli Plaza.The five sets of coffins that have been unearthed since the beginning of construction are called the five-coffin corpse yard. They are located on top of mass graves. There are strange and noisy human voices at night, erratic female ghosts in white clothes, and five people who must die every year... Bi Lang saw that the webmaster wrote in the updated content: It's Mr. Xiang. Bi Lang shivered involuntarily. The air in the Internet cafe was chaotic and suffocating, but he felt a chill lingering around.He sneezed, and the boy named Cat seemed to look at him, but he retracted his head quickly. What followed made Bi Lang feel even more creepy. Bi Lang could clearly feel the goosebumps popping out of his skin, and the hairs all over his body immediately stood on end.He felt very thirsty, as if his throat was on fire, as if all the water had been evaporated, he scratched his throat with his hands.You know, he was wearing a light blue striped T-shirt when he went to Wanli Plaza that day. That human skin lamp female ghost followed him to the square? ! Perhaps it was panic that occupied most of the heart, making it unable to beat normally.Bi Lang's fingers trembled uncontrollably, and he clicked on the link of the webpage tremblingly while holding the mouse. The web page I entered is dedicated to introducing human skin ghosts. Seeing this, Bi Lang shrank into a ball in the cold.He thought that his trembling appearance must be conspicuous, because the owner of the Internet cafe gave him a suspicious look.But how could he restrain the surging fear in his heart? The bloody human skin lantern in the story! This is exactly the same as the bleeding phenomenon of human skin lamps he has seen!On the day Mr. Xiang fell to his death in Wanli Square, when he returned to his dormitory, he saw dried blood on the desk, which flowed from the human skin lamp! At the end of the page it says: Bi Lang finally clicked the mouse, and the webpage closed.He just wanted to stand up, but his feet didn't listen, and he sat down softly.He had a lot of thoughts, and the more he thought about it, the more chaotic he became. Mr. Xiang's death was like a frozen scene in a movie, which kept replaying in his mind.All the information about the female ghost of the human skin lamp was crushed by fear and evenly scattered in the body. How much he wanted to poke a hole in his chest, so that these suppressed emotions could find a way to vent out.Otherwise, he will go crazy!Finally, Bi Lang slapped the mouse hard, which was a small vent. The boss next to him cast a questioning look. "Huh? You lost to Cat too? Don't overestimate yourself!" Before Bi Lang could answer, the boy whose face was covered by the computer monitor yelled, "I'm not playing again? Who lost me?" He stood up, glanced at Bi Lang, and sat down again. Cat turned out to be a good-looking boy.that is it. After evening self-study, Bi Lang had just walked into the stairwell of the dormitory when he suddenly heard that voice again.Yes, that voice was a little hoarse, faintly beating on his spine from the shadow in the corner.He shivered, his feet trembling slightly. It was already late at night for self-study, but there was no one in the stairwell, as if it had been cleared specially for it to meet him.What a creepy meeting!On the stage set up in the dark night, even the dim lights couldn't focus. The light that shone down stiffly from above reflected the panic in Bi Lang's pupils. The female ghost of the human skin lamp stood in the shadows. not talking. But he questioned her: "It is...you killed Mr. Xiang?" She sneered twice, which was a kind of tacit consent. "He has no grievances with you, are you going to kill him?" Bi Lang felt how idiotic his question was.Biology teacher, junior, dean, Yi Yao, which one has committed a heinous crime?The death of an innocent person is nothing in the eyes of the human skin lamp female ghost.I'm afraid, even he won't be able to escape its blood-stained claws in the end! "They all deserve to die." The voice sounded from behind like a hollow moonlight, which seemed to be cut off at any time, yet it seemed so shrill.Even the surrounding darkness is shaking slightly. "No! No one deserves to die! Go away! Stop pestering me!" "No, I'm not leaving you. Until you find that person." "Why are you looking for me? I don't even know the person you're looking for!" Bi Lang cried out almost crazily, and his voice filled the corridor. "Yes, you don't know him, but you will help me find him." "No! I won't! You murderer! I won't help you harm anyone!" "Hey, you will! Otherwise, I will let everyone around you die one by one!" "That's why you killed Mr. Xiang?" Bi Lang felt very guilty at this time. If Mr. Xiang died because of him, how could he forgive himself?Just because he didn't help find the boy who killed her, the human skin lamp female ghost made the people around him suffer bad luck.This is simply a threat!Threatening yourself with the death of others! Despicable and shameful fellow! Bi Lang's whole body trembled violently again, but it was not entirely because of fear, the power of anger was even more turbulent.He still wanted to ask something, but there was a noise of others coming up from the stairwell. At this time, the female human skin lamp ghost had disappeared from the shadows. The diary opens. Did you really show up?why i didn't see youIt is said that ghosts return to those who miss them most.Why are you still unwilling to appear in front of me?Is it because I don't love you enough, or you don't love me at all? My heart hurts.The first time I asked you to go to the aquarium, I waited for you at the school gate for so long, but you left with that person... Do you know that it was raining heavily, but I stood in the rain for a whole day .You haven't seen all this, have you? The diary closes. teaching building.When Bi Lang was about to walk out of the stairwell, he saw two girls who had just come out of the toilet, drying their freshly washed hands with a handkerchief, while discussing topics that made him instantly sensitive. "Know Kelly in the next class?" "I know, what's the matter?" "Is she gay?" "Ah? Why do you say that?" "So many boys pursue her, but she doesn't even have a boyfriend. Isn't it strange?" "Oh, maybe people don't like puppy love, so you have to concentrate on your studies." "Bah! Bah! I don't believe it! If she's not a bitch pretending to be an innocent girl, she's gay!" The other party's sneering words were vicious and harsh.Bi Lang walked over and grabbed the gorgeously dressed girl.Putting on heavy makeup, she found out that she was pulled by a handsome guy. She was excited and pretended to be ashamed, but Bi Lang coldly warned her: "If you dare to speak ill of Kelly, I won't punish you!" Shaking off the girl's hand and walking towards the classroom, Bi Lang heard the angry girl yelling behind her.What he scolded, he didn't care at all, just about to turn around and give the girl a hard look, but unexpectedly, a crisp slap rang out in time. The arrogant girl covered her face with surprise in her eyes.I saw Kelly said calmly and ferociously: "Next time, I'll dig out your tongue!" The girls are terrified.Although she didn't believe Kelly had the guts, she subconsciously covered her mouth, trying to protect her nagging tongue. Kelly walked towards Bi Lang slowly, without looking at each other, and passed him with a cliff-like narrow profile.But he heard her say "thank you" softly.It was almost impossible to hold such a short-lived happiness in his hands, and he even wondered if his ears had heard it wrong. Kelly is thanking him? Yeah? Miss Ke was giving a lecture on the podium, and more than half of the students in the audience were lying on the desks drowsily.The sun is shining brightly, and the unstoppable time is passing like an hourglass.There is a tired and warm smell in the classroom. Bi Lang rested his chin and stared at Kelly in the front seat.She tied up her long hair and tied a blue bow, and the shadow of the butterfly danced in the spring in his pupils.Thinking of Kelly's words of gratitude just now, he smiled sweetly. Just a simple "thank you". But why, his heart seemed to be in full bloom for a whole spring? Suddenly again, she in his eyes began to shake, collapsing like a dream.Bi Lang was taken aback. He saw Kelly suddenly fall from the seat, fell down on the aisle between the desks, and passed out.Her face was blue, and she was covering her chest with her hands, as if she had a sudden heart attack. The whole class was in a commotion.Everyone looked over in amazement, forming an ocean. Miss Ke was also at a loss for what to do, and shouted: "What should I do? What should I do?" "I'll take her to the school infirmary." Bi Lang put Kelly on his back with all his strength, rushed out of the classroom, and ran towards the school infirmary under the tumultuous eyes of the next class. Today's sunshine seems to be very good, it should not be a sad day. Kelly fell asleep in the hospital bed.Slept beautifully, lips kissed by the sun by the window.Bi Lang held her gradually warming hand, unknowingly tears slid down his sad cheeks.How guilty he was that he almost killed her! The school doctor said just now that Kelly's illness has no reason, like being possessed by an evil spirit.But now it's all right. He immediately thought that it must be the ghost of the human skin lamp, because it said that everyone around him would die one by one. Kelly is his most important person! He cried, tears leaving his eyes and dripping into her palm.She is still sleeping, so she will not know that such a boy is sad for her. "Wake up people!" Suddenly, a boy sat up from the bed next to him.He rubbed his sleepy eyes and stared at the tearful Bi Lang: "Please, big brother, don't cry, okay, I just fell asleep after spending the whole night on the Internet last night! She didn't die, why are you crying? A big man is crying, isn't he ashamed?" "It's none of your business." Bi Lang muttered and retorted, thinking how ugly it would be to cry bitterly in front of others, so he quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. However, this boy seems to have seen it somewhere. He looked back at the other party again, and the other party seemed to recognize him, and called out his name directly: "Oh, it turned out to be Bi Lang." "Hey, you know me?" "I live in the dormitory next door to you, 403." "Really?" Bi Lang looked suspicious, "I don't seem to have seen you before." "Hehe." The boy scratched his head with a smile, "It's not surprising, it's not surprising, I spent more nights in Internet cafes than in dormitories. By the way, my name is Cat, and I played basketball with your class once in the second year of high school." What about the game?" "Oh." Bi Lang had no impression of these, but when he heard the name Cat, he remembered the boy he had met in an Internet cafe, "So it was you." "Remember?" Cat smiled smugly, then glanced at Kelly and asked, "What happened to her?" "It's okay...just a little anemic." "Oh." Cat seemed to be very sleepy, yawned, and fell asleep again under the blanket. Bi Lang saw Cat again on the second night.Not long after the lights-out time, a sudden knock on the door woke him up.He walked over to open the door, although he was uneasy because he thought that the person knocking on the door might be a female ghost with a human skin lamp, but when he opened the door, he saw that Cat was going to the 405 bedroom next door. Hearing the sound of the door opening, Cat came back again. "Oh, it's Bi Lang. Do me a favor." While talking, Cat got into the bedroom without any explanation.The others were still asleep, so he lowered his voice knowingly and said to Bi Lang, "Is that so, let me spend the night here tonight?" "Ah? Your bedroom is next door." "Oh, stop talking, I knocked for a long time and no one answered the door. I have no choice but to wrong you to sleep with me tonight. But don't worry, I take a bath every day and I don't have any infectious diseases." Cat said Looking for Bi Lang's bed in the dark bedroom. "Are you sleeping here?" He pointed to the messy quilt on the lower bunk and asked, Bi Lang nodded, and Cat took off his shoes quickly.But then he found that the upper berth was also empty. "Is no one sleeping here? Why don't I sleep on it?" "No!" Bi Lang pulled his climbing body in desperation. "What's wrong?" Cat asked suspiciously.Bi Lang frowned. Cat seemed to think of something: "You don't welcome me? Forget it, I'll just go." He jumped out of bed.Bi Lang quickly explained: "No, no. Sigh... the boy on the upper bed just passed away a few days ago... I'm afraid it's unlucky." Cat laughed: "What did I think you were talking about? So what if someone died? The only good thing about me is my courage. I don't believe there are ghosts in this world." After all, Cat quickly climbed onto Mr. Xiang's bed again.After a while, he heard the sound of his breathing peacefully falling asleep. The night outside the window is like a silent camera lens silently staring at this dead bedroom. It shouldn't be a problem for Cat to only sleep for one night.Bi Lang fell asleep with this fluke mentality.If something bad happens to Cat, it has nothing to do with him.Because he had clearly warned Cat that the owner of that bed was dead. But he didn't tell people about the ghost on the ceiling. Well, anyway, even if I say it, Cat won't take it to heart. Bi Lang once woke up in a daze in the middle of the night.He heard another strange noise from the top bunk.He would guess that the sound was very similar to the sound made by Mr. Xiang playing a plane, but at the time, he didn't care, or he got used to it, and soon fell asleep again. At that time, he vaguely thought that the person sleeping on the bed was Mr. Xiang. The next morning, when Bi Lang came back from the toilet, he happened to see Cat waking up and sitting on the upper bunk, covering his head in a daze. He asked Cat: "Hey, did you sleep well last night?" Cat patted his drowsy head: "It's so noisy." "Noisy?" Bi Lang was taken aback, "What's the noise?" "I don't know who is moving the bed board, creaking, I thought who was masturbating." There was a chill in Bi Lang's heart.He remembered that he had heard that familiar sound last night, as if Mr. Xiang had returned.This terrifying thought flashed through his mind like an electric current, and he felt his body was extremely cold at this moment. He opened his eyes wide, stared straight at Cat, and asked, "Then, are you dreaming?" "I did it, I did it." Cat jumped down from the upper bunk, started to put on socks and shoes, and said casually at the same time, "I had a very strange dream. I dreamed that there was a female ghost floating down from the ceiling, pinching on my neck. What a boring dream." Cat put on his shoes and stood up.Bi Lang paid special attention to his neck. Several dull purple-black pinch marks appeared on the fair skin! Apart from that time when Kelly passed out in the classroom, nothing happened again.Bi Lang originally thought that the next target of the human-skin lamp female ghost was Kelly, but now it seems that it only gave him a small warning. But it won't stop. When Bi Lang and Xiao Nan walked towards the pre-occupied table with their lunch, he saw Cat was eating his lunch slowly, as if he was thinking hard about something.He greeted Cat, but Cat didn't seem to hear it, and didn't look up. His dull eyes made Bi Lang think of Mr. Xiang. An ominous premonition slowly grew in my heart. Bi Lang went to the Internet cafe outside the school to look for Cat at night. Cat was fighting a monster with someone else, and it didn't take long for him to deal with him. "You're here?" Cat took the ten-yuan bet from the loser, and smiled triumphantly at Bi Lang, "This is where the money I get online comes from." He waved the banknote triumphantly. Under the pale light, the pinch mark on Cat's neck became more and more obvious.Some real horror colors penetrated into the deep and shallow lines.The restrained posture highlights the final explosive ending in the slow expansion. Bi Lang became more and more uneasy, but Cat seemed completely oblivious to the approaching nightmare.He continued to search for an opponent on the Internet, but he couldn't find it for a long time. He stopped the mouse, turned around and said to Bi Lang, "show me the seat", then stood up and walked to the toilet. Bi Lang sat on the seat. Cat went into the toilet. Taking advantage of this spare time, Bi Lang remembered the website he had just browsed a few days ago—Hundred Ghost Night Talk.He entered that website, and the status of the website owner, Gui Chuideng, actually showed that he was online.He immediately sent a message to Gui Chudeng: Excuse me, if you are entangled by the human skin lamp female ghost, how to resolve it. After waiting for a few seconds, Gui Chuideng's reply came. Ghost Chuideng asked: "Do you understand the situation of that human-skin lamp female ghost?" Bi Lang then briefly wrote down everything he knew in the message. Gui Chudeng was surprised. "According to the situation you described, that female ghost has a lot of grievances. Even innocent people can't escape, I'm afraid it will continue to kill." "Then how to resolve it?" "To be honest, according to the information I have obtained, the grievances of this human leather lamp female ghost are really difficult to resolve. I can only advise you to obey that ghost as much as possible, and don't act against its wishes. This way you may save your life." "But what if it continues to harm people?" "There's nothing you can do about it. You'd better think about yourself first. According to my inference, the reason why that female ghost entangled you is probably because..." Gui Chudeng hesitated to speak, and Bi Lang hurriedly sent another questioning message.But Gui Chudeng didn't reply again, the other party's status was displayed as offline, and the other party left. What exactly is the other party trying to say? Bi Lang kept this question in his heart and pondered it slowly.He heard the toilet door being opened, so he looked up, and Cat was coming out of the toilet, tightening his pants, and was about to close the door. The moment the door closed, Bi Lang's eyes froze. A white shadow was in the toilet that Cat had just stepped out of.There can't be someone right in there.Bi Lang's blood vessels almost stopped flowing in just a second or two.It was a human figure, dressed in white, with long hair, and the dim light in the toilet made its blurred face even more blurred. In the darkest and quietest shadows floated a ghostly smile. How much Bi Lang hoped that this was just his own illusion. Gui Chudeng didn't go online for a long time after that, and Bi Lang didn't reply to any of the messages he sent.Over time, Bi Lang almost forgot about that website and that person.He just wanted to ask a clear question: that day, he said that the reason why the human-skin lamp female ghost would entangle him was because of a certain reason. This reason will come to light one day.Bi Lang inexplicably came up with such an idea. During self-study that night, the school had a power outage.Looking out from the classroom, the neighborhood near the school is also in darkness.Dim stars wandered sparsely in the night sky.The lights in the distance are like distant islands, separated by a vast and dark sea. The composition in the air seems to be nothing but sadness. The evening self-study ended early, and the students left the teaching building in groups. Bi Lang and Xiao Nan walked towards the dormitory together, and Kelly and Tang Wan walked not far behind them. Kelly deliberately kept a distance from them.毕浪注意着她和唐婉的谈话，声音若远若近地跟随在后面。随后唐婉不知为何走开了，Kelly独自一个人，加快两步追了上来。 “哎。”她小声叫唤了一声。 萧南转过头：“Kelly？什么事？” “对不起，不是叫你。是你。” 她轻轻点了点毕浪的肩膀，这让毕浪顿时显得手足无措。也难怪，Kelly从不会主动跟他搭讪，即使是他故意跟她说话，她也一脸的爱理不理。 今晚倒是怎么了？ Kelly从怀里的几本书里抽出一本笔记本，递给他：“给你。” "what?" “你今天不是问我借英文笔记了吗？” “对，对哦。”毕浪愣愣地接过来。其实借笔记本只是他为了和她说上一句话而编造出来的理由，Kelly也应该知道他根本就是个无心向学的家伙呀。既然如此，她为什么还…… Kelly对他，不那么冷漠了呀。 毕浪大起了胆子：“是……是这样子，我有两张海洋馆的门票，不知道能不能请你这个星期天一起去……” 声音拉至句末近似空气一般地消失掉，毕浪对Kelly的回答一点信心也没有，不过Kelly的语气和以往的冷漠无情相比较，委婉多了。她说：“对不起，这个星期天我没有空呢，改天吧。” “嗯，嗯。” 毕浪第一次被人拒绝还这么开心。她说了“改天”这个词，就表明他还有机会。他的兴奋之情连萧南也察觉到了，萧南用胳膊肘捅了捅他，对他露出会意的一笑。 他抬头看皎洁的月亮看得笑容满脸。 快要走到宿舍楼的铁门时，萧南忽然抬起手指，指向宿舍楼：“那是什么？” "what?" 毕浪和Kelly也闻声望去。 陷入一片漆黑的宿舍楼中有一抹幽黄的灯光游出来。乍看之下，颇像荒山野坟里的鬼火。在沉甸甸的黑暗中，那微弱的光线顽强地挣扎着，把夜幕灼出一个光亮的小洞。 “毕浪，那是你的寝室呀。”萧南很快就辨认出来。他转过头，看见毕浪的脸在月光下显得苍白，眉毛微微颤动，仿佛有种恐惧的情绪突然灭顶地漫了上来。 那确实是四零四寝室。虽然已经下晚自修，但同学们才刚刚开始回寝室，而且学校停电了，宿舍楼里每间寝室还是黑的，除了四零四寝室里的灯光，那么突兀地亮在一片漆黑中。 那是人皮灯散发出来的幽冥灯火呀！ 毕浪脖子的肌肉一下子绷得紧紧。他听到Kelly又叫了起来。 “哎，阳台有个人！” 他刚抬眼望去，只见有个黑影从阳台上坠下来。远远地传来沉闷的落地声，接着，响彻夜空的尖叫穿透了耳膜，在脑子里此起彼落地回荡。前面的人拥向了更前方，后面的人用急促的脚步声经过了他们。 毕浪随着人流走进了宿舍楼的大院。人群围在某个点，议论纷纷。毕浪挤了进去，眼前的情景触目惊心，他久久睁大着眼睛，张着嘴。 地面上横着一具尸体，鲜血在黑夜里像蛇一样蜿蜒在地面上。死者的脸面对着空旷的夜空，带着对人世间的一点依恋，死不瞑目。此时，夜空沉默而平整地盘扣在每个人的头顶上，轮回之中的生生死死，光明中的生灵涂炭，都安静地躺在这副巨大的黑色棺材之中，等待着下一道灰飞烟灭的轨迹。 血肉模糊的那张脸毕浪十分熟悉，所以他无比震惊，感觉到有一把冰冷的剪刀在疯狂地剪碎身体里的一切。他捂紧心，却阻止不了那种剧烈的疼痛感漾满每条血管每根神经。 Cat死了。 “可是，他怎么会从寝室的阳台跳下来？”萧南看着地上的尸体发问道。毕浪无言以对，也好想那具逐渐冰冷的尸体能替他回答这个问题。 是人皮灯女鬼！ 毕浪拼命地拨开人群，冲进宿舍楼。如果人皮灯女鬼还没有离去，他要质问它的所作所为！为什么要让无辜的人遭此厄难？ 楼梯跑到了尽头，毕浪不顾一切地闯进四零四寝室。寝室里很暗，人皮灯已经熄掉了。阳台外的夜色像是剧场的落幕。他看见靠近窗口的柜子正在缓缓地关上，一股阴风在水平面上涌动。 他慢慢地向柜子走过去，每一步都惊心动魄，地板上蠕动的黑暗里潜伏着狰狞的气息。他屏住呼吸，前进的脚步已经不受控制，仿佛那柜子发出无法抗拒的引力，把他慢慢拉了过去。 柜子里还有顾心萱留下来的校服。 毕浪想，也许，它一直就住在柜子里。到了夜晚，才会游荡在天花板上或者走廊里。 想着，他的手已经触到了柜子冷冰冰的把手。 他用力一拉。 柜子里没有人，除了整齐挂着的衣服像刑场上吊死的尸体。 而这时门口有个人影闪过。 毕浪追出去。 一团暗黄的灯光刚好在厕所里消失不见。当他追进去时，宿舍楼来电了，厕所里灯火通明，驱逐掉所有的黑暗。 他在里面却找不到一个人。 从厕所的窗口望下去，Cat鲜血横流的尸体是黑夜里一道悲伤的伤痕。 德林几乎是尖叫着从床上跳起来的。凌晨五点，外面的天色还没亮，建筑物的轮廓与浓厚的夜色融合在一起，分辨不清。唯有这个城市荒芜的风呼啸而过的声音分外清晰。 毕浪跑过去按亮寝室的灯。只见德林满头大汗地坐在上铺，手指颤抖地指着对面湘公子的床铺吓得脸青唇白，一句话也说不出。他的样子像是看到了什么恐怖的东西。 而那东西，就在湘公子的床上。 “我看到了湘公子！”在食堂，德林依然惊魂未定地告诉毕浪。他说话的声音故意压得很低，似乎不想被旁边走过的同学听到，从而把他看成神经病。 他相信那只是幻觉，但又真实得让他无法释怀。他一回想起当时的情景，握在手里的筷子就微微哆嗦着相互碰撞。 “湘公子？”毕浪细声问道，“它当时在干什么？” “它……它躺在床上，向我招手……” 德林头皮发麻地说道，手中的筷子终于抓不住，掉在餐桌上。他双手紧紧抱住了后脑勺，冰凉的脑浆好像要钻个洞喷出来，皮肤生疱疹一样地瘙痒，他开始用手指抠着那些瘙痒的皮肤。 脑海中又浮现出那个血流满脸的男生，在他辗转侧身的时候就出现在对面的床上，咧开嘴巴无声地阴笑。“过来呀，我在等着你，等着你……”湘公子这样说着，死灰的眼睛突然流出两道鲜艳的血液，恐怖的眼神始终死死缠绕着他。 “真的有……有鬼！” 德林终于大声地尖叫出来，慌慌张张地从餐桌旁站起来，在同学们异样的目光中跌跌撞撞地走出了食堂。 毕浪看着他的背影，不知该说些什么好。 难道，人皮灯女鬼下一个要对付的人是德林？ 不过，他的脖子并没有出现掐痕。而且，他看到的是湘公子而不是人皮灯女鬼。 如此的情形，连续几夜都出现。 德林总在某个特定的时间惊恐地尖叫，亮灯之后，便可以看见他又浑身发抖地指着湘公子的床铺，嘴里颤抖地重复着：“鬼……鬼……有鬼！” 他的脸色越来越差，在课堂上经常走神。不过，脖子上依旧没有出现什么掐痕。 “我要退学了。”直到有一天，德林脸色苍白地跟毕浪说。 “退学？为什么呀？都要高考了，现在退学不就前功尽弃了吗？”毕浪替他感到不值，但德林苦笑着摇摇头：“再住下去，我恐怕等不到高考那一天。再说，考不上大学也没有关系，我爸说可以送我到国外留学。” 他显然主意已定，毕浪也不好多做挽留。毕竟以德林现在的情绪来看，再待下去肯定会出问题的。 德林忽然想起来什么，又紧张地盯着毕浪：“毕浪，你以后要小心点。” "why?" “因为我听到湘公子提起过你的名字。它说你也会下去陪它的。” "real?" “我也希望这只是个梦。算了，就当是个梦吧。” 德林郑重地拍了拍毕浪的肩膀，预示着一种忧伤的告别，又好像把心中的压力转给了毕浪。毕浪忽然觉得肩膀很重，像有个人骑在上面似的。 自己真的会落得跟湘公子同样的下场吗？不过，他对人皮灯女鬼还有利用价值，只要他一天没找到那个男生，人皮灯女鬼就不会加害于他。只是，他身边的人会不断地遭受厄运，这样也没关系吗？ 毕浪顿时陷入了一种两难的境地。牺牲自己，还是牺牲别人，伟大还是可耻只在一线之差。 两天后，办好退学手续的德林终于要离开了。他家的奔驰停在宿舍楼下，穿金戴银的德林老爸果然很有房地产老板的派头。毕浪没料到德林的家境这样好，毕竟他在班里行事十分低调，并不像很多喜欢炫耀的纨绔子弟。 毕浪走到阳台上往下看。 德林提着行李走出宿舍楼，走向奔驰边。毕浪大声叫了他一声，德林仰起头来。 "goodbye!" "goodbye!" 毕浪朝德林挥起手，德林在楼下也挥着手。阳光铺满两人告别的距离。蓦地，德林挥动的手凝在了半空，他的眼睛瞪得好大，那是突然而至的恐惧，血液退去的脸庞已经变成了死鱼的色彩。 德林极度恐惧地钻进车里，奔驰一溜烟地离开了宿舍楼。 他应该看到了什么，而且就在毕浪的身边。 毕浪意识到这点，转动艰涩的脖颈，心惊肉跳地向左边看了看，又向右边看了看，阳台上只有他一个人而已。那德林害怕的是什么…… 整个四零四寝室现在只剩下他和张天游两个人了。 那个神经兮兮的男生，呆坐在床边，僵硬的表情仿佛埋藏了一个黑夜，黑夜中沉默而冷清的坟墓，然后他笑了，像坟墓里飘出鬼魂冷冽的阴笑。 “你、你笑什么？”毕浪在张天游面前，总感到有难以诠释的寒意迎面扑来。 现在寝室里剩下的两个人明明应该守望相助才对，偏偏张天游的态度那么冷漠，还表露出对死亡的欲望。别人的死，对他来说更像是一种享受。 “很快就到你了。”张天游幽幽地说道。目光射过来，以最冰冷的温度打在脸上。 毕浪打了个寒战：“你……你在说什么呀？什么就到我了？” “你知道的，你知道那个人皮灯女鬼不会离开你。” “开什么玩笑，我和它无冤无仇，它干吗要害我？” “需要理由吗？”张天游冷笑一声，声音在他阴鸷的脸庞久久盘旋。 毕浪抱紧身子。 “张天游，你是不是知道些什么？你能通灵，一定知道的！” 张天游又是一笑：“我知道的，每个人都逃不掉。它不会放过任何一个人。” 他的笑，仿佛一朵白色的罂粟花在华丽地绽放。 中午吃饭的时候，毕浪刚坐下来就远远听到有人小声叫自己的名字。 用不着抬头也能分辨出这把心底最深刻的声音。 Kelly端着餐盘走过来，坐在了他的对面。 流动在餐桌上的阳光，搭起了一条联系双方的桥梁。 然而，毕浪却端起餐盘，走到了另一张空着的座位。对面坐着的是个完全不认识的家伙，正用看怪物的眼光端详着这位入侵者。 毕浪自顾自地夹起一块肉往嘴里送，食之无味。明明Kelly都坐到了他的对面，他却选择逃避。Kelly此时一定感到奇怪，而且生气。 她不会理解他的苦心。 如果她再亲近他，将来恐怕也会遭遇不幸的。死的人已经够多了，他不想失去他最关心的人。 身后的餐桌上传来Kelly生气地把吃完的餐盘扔回到餐架上的声音，金属尖锐地碰撞。他的心在这一刻被绞得很痛，痛感比任何时候都要来得强烈，他拼命地捂住胸口。Kelly经过时，他接收到她埋怨的目光。 原来不能爱别人的感觉这么难受。 就连萧南，毕浪也刻意和他保持着距离。尽管对方忙于学业而丝毫没有注意到，周末的时候又拉着他一起搭上了回家的公车。 公车上的电视屏幕不断循环地放着广告和音乐，直让人倒胃口。广州城的高楼大厦将天空划成凌乱的碎片。这样冷漠的城市，这样冷漠的居民。 萧南拿着书背英文单词，突然从一连串低喃的单词中冒出一句：“最近真的发生了很多事啊。” 毕浪瞥了他一眼。 “是呀，怪多的。” “你捡到的那盏灯还留着吗？” “留着呀，想扔掉也不行。” “为什么？”萧南转过来疑惑的脸，“把它送给别人不行吗？” “送给别人……” 如果是这样，那个人应该和顾心萱有关联，譬如说……毕浪想到了林羽生。 把人皮灯交给他再合适不过了，毕竟他和顾心萱曾经交往过。 毕浪下定决心后，心境突然一下子豁然开朗了。 他转过头去看车窗外美丽的街景。 林羽生住在三零四，就在四零四寝室的正下方。毕浪趁三零四寝室里没有人的时候，提着人皮灯迅速闪了进去。林羽生的床位他之前已经打听清楚，所以毕浪动作迅速而直接地把人皮灯塞进对方的衣柜里。 因为倘若把人皮灯放在书桌上，太显眼了又容易被发现，林羽生肯定会把它扔掉。要是放在衣柜里，藏在一大堆衣服下面，弄不好得等上好几天才会被发现。 那时候人皮灯女鬼已经缠上林羽生了，他即使想摆脱也不是那么容易的。 毕浪虽然觉得这个做法有点卑鄙可耻，但林羽生平时的所作所为实在不讨人喜欢，更何况他和人皮灯女鬼也算是有过缘分。每每想到这里，毕浪就觉得这是一个卑鄙但正确的决定。 毕浪关上了衣柜，正准备离开，可是他无意中瞥了一眼天花板，就站住不动了。 这里的天花板竟然也出现跟四零四相似的霉斑，但比他们寝室里的霉斑要小一些，颜色也要淡一些。毕浪仰着头，目光犹如被磁铁吸引住一般，盯着那块霉斑心想：为什么这里也会出现？ 这个疑惑在他的胸腔四处冲撞，心湖泛起不安的涟漪。他注视着那块霉斑，竟然忘记自己身在何处，连住三零四的人从冲凉房回来的声音也没有听到。 回到寝室的男生们看到正仰头注视着天花板的毕浪。 “毕浪，你在干什么呀？”有个同班男生问道，他也看了看那块霉斑。它并不能引起其他人的注意，大家也就认为它不过是天花板渗出的水迹罢了。 林羽生也从冲凉房回来了。毕浪出现在寝室里让他感到厌恶地皱了皱眉头，他一边打开衣柜，一边问：“毕浪，你来我们寝室干吗？” “哦。”毕浪回答得含糊其辞，却指着那块霉斑问道，“那东西出现多久了？” 旁边的人漫不经心地回答：“哟，你不说我们还没发现呢。羽生就睡在它下面的床位，他应该知道得最清楚。” 林羽生却摆出不想回答的表情。他在衣柜里发现了什么，啊了一声，然后把人皮灯从衣服堆里提了出来。 “这是谁的灯呀？怎么放在我这里？” 他用质问的目光环顾在场的人，舍友们都摆出一脸的不知情。唯独不应该出现在这间寝室里的毕浪做贼心虚，慌张的神色来不及掩饰，便被林羽生一把抓住了胳膊。 “毕浪，你把这种东西放在我衣柜里干什么？” “这……这个又不是我的。” “还敢撒谎？肯定是你啦，不然你怎么会鬼鬼祟祟地出现在我们寝室？” “真……真的不是我。我是找萧南的，不小心走错寝室了嘛。再说，我干吗把一盏灯放在你的衣柜里呢？这根本说不通嘛！” 旁边的同学也说道：“对哦，如果说偷东西还可以理解，但哪有人白送东西的？况且还是这么精美的灯呢。” 很有道理。 “对嘛，对嘛。”毕浪直点头。可林羽生还是死捉住他的胳膊不肯放，眉头习惯性地收敛角度，目光也变得更加犀利，提起人皮灯打量了好一会儿，突然想起了什么。 “这盏不会是人皮灯吧？” 毕浪露出被识穿阴谋的一瞬间惊慌，立刻被林羽生敏感地捕捉到了。 “对吧，这盏是人皮灯！你为什么放在我这里？”他逼视着毕浪。毕浪竭力掩饰的眼神已经出现溃败。 其他舍友听到人皮灯，纷纷好奇地围了过来。 他们注视着林羽生手中的灯。精美的灯罩，古色古香的镂金灯座，这就是传说中的人皮灯？虽然他们对四楼出现人皮灯女鬼的事情也有所闻，但这还是他们第一次见到人皮灯。 这只是一盏普通的台灯罢了。 他们心里这样说道，但目光仍然聚焦在上面。 他们看着，看着，突然，人皮灯出现了变化。它受伤了。是这样子吧？灯面似乎被割出了一道伤口，鲜嫩的血液冲破了血管，流泻出突兀的凄艳，然后是第二道伤口……整个半透明的灯罩，蓦然间浸满猩红的血，惊悚了逐渐扩大的瞳孔。血的味道焚烧在空气里，如同第一口尼古丁的滋味，辛辣而深刻。 “灯流……流血了！” 舍友们指着人皮灯纷纷尖叫起来。 林羽生这才注意到，也吓得手一缩。还没等毕浪叫出“别松手”的话，人皮灯就像一颗鲜活的心脏掉了下去，摔在地面上，破碎了。从地上溅起的血染红谁的眼睛。 破碎的人皮灯。 灵魂也会随着破碎吗？ 抑或是，囚笼被打破了，被释放出来的邪恶魂魄更加肆无忌惮？ 毕浪坐在座位上看最新出版的校报。 教室天花板的吊扇转动时发出一种古怪的摩擦声，幽幽的，充满邪意，像古墓里女鬼的凄怨的哭诉。凉风从上方僵硬地打下来，冷，带有夜风般的气质。 校报上又刊登了最新的鬼诗。 他不明白这是什么意思，他不善于思考难题。但鬼诗是在人皮灯被打破后出现的，这不是好兆头。 因为人皮灯女鬼果然没有就此魂飞魄散。 毕浪忧心忡忡地抬起头，他看见林羽生在教室门口和学习委员交谈，然后走了进来，经过他的座位旁。 他们相互厌恶地对视半秒。 毕浪的脸色顿时变得铁青，他浑身战栗却又不敢发出一丝声音。他看见林羽生的脖子上出现了淡淡的掐痕。对视的时间虽短，但毕浪十分肯定，那是人皮灯女鬼的死亡预告！ 又有人要死了！ Kelly回头看了看低头微微发抖的毕浪，问了一句：“哎，你没事吧？生病了吗？” 被恐惧塞满的脑袋无法收容这句话，毕浪失神地盯着桌面。哪天留下的圆珠笔划痕在桌沿突然而断，像猝死的生命。 Kelly不满地骂了一句：“好心没好报。” 他同样没有听到。
