Chapter 8 Chapter 5 Hell

Hell, if it's in a metaphor, it can be the metaphor clothes or the metaphor body. When used as a metaphor, it originally refers to seeing the soul of a person after death as said by superstitious people in certain religious activities. In reality, it also means encountering bad things, weirdness, destruction or death.And when the word becomes a metaphor, one becomes profound. When Lin Xiaowei returned to the school dormitory that night, she found that Qian Jing hadn't come back all night.She knew what had happened in her heart. Although she was a little worried, it was a done deal. Besides, this situation was actually what Qian Jing expected.

Qian Jing didn't appear again until the evening of the second day. She looked excited, "Xiaowei, I think Li Xi really fell in love with me." Lin Xiaowei smiled slightly, "That's good." She didn't ask much, but felt that something was a little strange, and hoped that Qian Jing would not be hurt. It's a pity that things didn't develop in the direction I expected. On the third day, Qian Jing walked into the room with a pale face.Lin Xiaowei hurriedly asked with concern: "What's wrong?" "Li Xi dumped me, he said we are not suitable."

The boudoir has a dead look on her face. She guessed that this would be the result, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.After comforting her friend, Lin Xiaowei went out because she had a class. When I came back, I heard screams coming from the dormitory.The screams were piercing, and many people looked sideways.She hurriedly opened the door and walked in, only to see Qian Jing's eyes were glazed over, holding a thin piece of paper and looking at it very carefully. "Xiao Jing, are you okay?" Lin Xiaowei asked cautiously. "I'm pregnant. What should I do? What should I do! Li Xi doesn't want me anymore, and I'm pregnant with his child again!" Qian Jingyu grasped her arm tightly incoherently.

"Calm down, it's only been three days since that night, how could you know that you're pregnant!" Lin Xiaowei saw that Qian Jing's whole body was shaking, and cold sweat was dripping from her forehead, with a nervous expression. appearance. "Obviously I'm pregnant. Look at this pregnancy test paper. Look, there are two lines." Qian Jing put the pregnancy test paper in her hand under her eyes, and said hysterically in a nervous tone: "What should I do, what should I do! Do I want to get rid of it?" Lin Xiaowei subconsciously looked at the test paper. On the pregnancy paper, on the detection range, only a red line came into view, which clearly appeared.

"Be sober, you're not pregnant at all." Lin Xiaowei shook Qian Jing's shoulder with her hand. But Qian Jing didn't listen to anything at all, she kept sweating coldly, her face was pale, and she stared at the pregnancy test paper in her hand in a daze full of fear. Lin Xiaowei sighed, "Haven't you eaten all day, right? You stay in the dormitory first, and I'll buy you a bento." Qian Jing didn't answer her, but kept her eyes wide open, staring blankly at the pregnancy test stick. After she went downstairs, she suddenly heard many people pointing at the upstairs.When Lin Xiaowei turned around and looked up, there were gasps and screams.

She felt a cloud of cold air rushing towards her face from the tip of her nose, and then she was so close to the point that she was out of focus, a black figure fell to the ground from top to bottom, making a dull sound.It seemed like something had split right underfoot, and juice was splattered everywhere. When Lin Xiaowei came back to her senses, she realized that the dark thing was actually a person. Qian Jing widened her eyes and stared straight at her.The buddy who was still alive just now, with his head twisted irregularly, his body and limbs in a deformed posture, is already dead and can't die anymore.

Blood spilled all over the floor, and a lot of blood spattered on her body. Seeing her close friend committing suicide by jumping off a building, Lin Xiaowei could only feel her head rumbling and could not think at all.In the next few days, even in her dreams, she would dream of Qian Jing's eyes rolled white.Qian Jing was dying with strong hatred. October 15th, the day after Qian Jing's death. Lin Xiaowei really couldn't continue her studies, she could only think about those white eyes, Qian Jing's death had a great impact on her.So she asked for a few days off, ready to go home and rest for a week.

Up to now, Lin Xiaowei still clearly remembers that even on this day, her life began to become abnormal. On the afternoon of October 15, she saw a ghost for the first time. That day she packed a few clothes and went home by bus.When passing by a temple in the city, I suddenly remembered Qian Jing's suicide.Feeling very uncomfortable, she got out of the car and wanted to burn a stick of incense for her friend by the way. Although Lin Xiaowei has always been an atheist, seeing her friend die in front of her eyes, but she can't do anything at all, it feels really uncomfortable. Maybe a little incense and praying for Qian Jing's soul will make me no longer feel guilty.

The temple is called Baoshan Temple, which is very famous in Gaolong City. It is said that it was built in the Tang Dynasty.The incense here is very strong every day, and many grandparents who have nothing to do like to go in in the afternoon to burn a stick of incense to keep their families safe. Before entering the temple, you need to climb about two hundred stone steps.Lin Xiaowei looked up after getting off the bus. There were tall trees on both sides of the straight stone steps, and a quiet feeling rushed towards her. Even her messy mind seemed to calm down a lot. Climb up step by step, the more you go up, the more people you meet, the tourists are playing and playing, accompanied by the elegant Sanskrit sounds in the temple.

Lin Xiaowei stepped into the high red threshold and took a deep breath.The scent of the incense candle was very strong, and for the first time in her life, she felt that the smell of the smoke from burning the candle was so pleasant.She also bought a lot of incense candles. From the moment she entered the door, she worshiped each Bodhisattva one by one, and finally came to the Guanyin Hall again. The current Guanyin Temple is very quiet, there is no one inside, it is like another world, very out of tune with the hustle and bustle of the outside world.After thinking about it, she felt that although Guanyin didn't care about Hades' affairs, the god was meddling in his own business, and it would not be considered a wrong god to worship more. She hoped that Qian Jing's soul could rest in peace and be reincarnated as soon as possible.

Thinking about it, she took out a banknote from her pocket and threw it into the merit box, then knelt on the mat with her eyes closed and kowtowed three times.When he opened his eyes again, he saw a woman who appeared at some point in the originally empty Guanyin Hall. The woman could not tell her age, she had long hair and was dressed in white, and she couldn't tell her appearance clearly.She held a bunch of dark things in her hand and kowtowed on the mat next to her, chanting something silently. For some reason, although she could only see the side face of the woman, Lin Xiaowei always felt that the woman was staring at her in a daze.She shivered, feeling inexplicably that the air in the Guanyin Hall was terribly cold. Lin Xiaowei walked out quickly, but as soon as she stepped out of the palace door, she saw the scene where her scalp was numb. It was that woman again, she actually stepped outside without her noticing, and at this moment she was actually dangling the black string of things in her hand in front of the joss stick she burned. She was still facing herself sideways, and the white clothes on her body looked very dirty under the dim sunlight.This weird woman didn't attract the attention of the bustling crowd around her, no one looked at her, and even felt that she didn't exist at all. It was as if he was the only one who could see her. Lin Xiaowei was terrified to death, she didn't dare to look at that weird woman anymore, she hurriedly walked out of the temple with her head down.The matter was far from over. On the way home, she always felt that something was wrong, as if someone had been following her, following her closely. When she was walking on the road, someone was sticking close behind her. When she looked back, there was always nothing behind her, and she couldn't see anything.She got on the bus, and that person got on the bus too. When she felt someone drawing a circle on her back, she turned her head suddenly, only to find that the person sitting closest behind her was also five rows away from her, and there was no one there. Can reach her. what is the problem?Lin Xiaowei's brain became even more chaotic.She couldn't figure out what was happening to her, and she couldn't figure out why all these horrible things were happening around her. After returning home, she didn't say hello to her family, and rushed into her room in fear.Her parents were puzzled by her behavior, and she was unwilling to tell the story, not to mention, even if she told it, who would believe it? It's just that the horrible things have just begun. Not long after, Lin Xiaowei found out in despair that she had inexplicably developed a physique capable of seeing ghosts.Every day, every moment, no matter what you are doing or where you are, as long as you open your eyes, you will inevitably see things that ordinary people cannot see. "At the beginning, I often yelled in public, and I didn't dare to go to school. There were ghosts everywhere. Sure enough, the rumors were true. Places like schools are always built on graves full of yin." "There is also the tallest teaching building in the university. It is said that people often commit suicide by jumping off the building. That is also true. After I can see ghosts, I went to the school once and saw groups of ghosts in that building like dumplings. Jumping down over and over again, it's scary." Lin Xiaowei smiled wryly, with some helplessness on her pale face, "That's it, I was sent to the psychiatric department by my parents in a few days." After I listened to her story, I didn't speak for a long time, and the timid Song Shiyu hid behind me trembling with fright, her face was pale.Perhaps it was the first time for Song Jiaming to hear the complete cause and effect of the incident clearly. His complexion was also very ugly, as if he was confused, and he didn't know whether to believe it or not. I raised my head and asked noncommittally, "Are there ghosts in this hospital?" What, in fact, those children were obviously hurt by being slapped, and they couldn't speak." After Lin Xiaowei opened the chatter box, she simply poured out all the things that were stuffy in her heart, "There are also ghosts floating around in front of the intensive care unit, with guts rotten, heads, and intestines dropped on the ground; and outside the operating room... ..." "Wow, I can't listen anymore, it's too scary." Song Shiyu was finally so frightened that he couldn't take it anymore, and squatted on the ground covering his ears. I asked the last question: "Is there a ghost in this ward?" "No." Lin Xiaowei froze for a moment, then replied softly, "Fortunately not. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so calm!" I nodded, said nothing more, and walked out of the ward after comforting her a few words. Song Jiaming followed closely behind me, "Mr. Ye, what do you think about Xiaowei's situation?" "Aren't you a doctor? I should be the one asking you this question." I turned to look at him. He sighed, with a bitter face, "I just couldn't figure it out. I was a staunch atheist at first, but the more I got in touch with her, the more I felt that there might be ghosts in the world." Song Shiyu was trembling non-stop, apparently still not recovering from Lin Xiaowei's story. "Then do you personally think that Lin Xiaowei is haunted by ghosts, or is it a hallucination caused by intracranial compression?" I asked slowly. After hesitating for a moment, Song Jiaming didn't answer. He asked instead, "Mr. Ye, what about you? Do you believe in ghosts?" "Not really. According to the law of conservation of matter, ghosts should not exist." I shook my head, "Similarly, I don't think Lin Xiaowei can really see ghosts." "What happened to Xiaowei..." "I will do a little research on this matter. It won't take long, and maybe I will have an answer tomorrow." I cut him off. Walking in the corridor of the hospital, I glanced out of the window.I came at two o'clock in the afternoon, encountered a series of things, and heard a rather long story, and the time has slipped quietly to half past six.The sky outside was dark and messy, and where the street lamps illuminated, the snow was still falling. "It's getting late, I invite you to have a light meal." Song Jiaming pulled his cousin, "Is there any restaurant nearby that tastes good?" Song Shiyu was startled, and looked around with evasive eyes, as if wanting to see if there were really baby shoots like Lin Xiaowei said. An old woman, or a headless ghost. Of course, she found nothing abnormal except for the coming and going of patients and doctors.Xiu Dou's head had been reacting for a long time, and the little girl finally noticed her cousin's problem, and couldn't help saying angrily: "Isn't the hospital within a kilometer of your territory? What's the use of asking me!" "Your mouth Greedy, which bustling and remote restaurants and eateries in Gaolong City have places that you don't know about?" Song Jiaming pretended to be surprised. Song Shiyu glanced at me cautiously, "Brother, Brother Yu is here, don't make me look like a starved ghost reincarnated, it's too embarrassing!" Having such a younger sister, Song Jiaming is obviously also quite distressed, so he didn't say much , directly let her lead the way. After picking up the car from the parking lot, we headed for a local restaurant. I was recalling Lin Xiaowei's story along the way, and I didn't pay attention to the taste of the food when eating.The brothers and sisters of the Song family wisely didn't bother me, they just finished eating hastily like this, and it was only 7:50 when we got back to their house. Song Jiaming arranged my room, and left in a hurry after receiving the emergency call. In the end, only Song Shiyu and I were sitting in the living room staring at each other. "Aren't you going back to school?" I asked her casually. "If you don't go back, the school is terrible." The girl shook her head hurriedly, she was also studying at Gaolong University, and she seemed to be involuntarily thinking of the tallest building in the school that Lin Xiaowei said about jumping off the building like dumplings. The heater in the room was fully turned on, Song Shiyu was only wearing cool autumn clothes, and began to pull the sofa cushions out of nowhere. "What are you doing?" I asked in surprise. "Oh, I dare not leave, you have slept in the room again. I can only stay on the sofa all night." She arranged the cushions in what she thought was comfortable. To be honest, I felt a little headache for this girl who was only two years younger than me, so I waved my hand slightly and said, "Go to the guest room and sleep, I have something to check tonight, and it will probably last all night." "That's so embarrassing." Song Shiyu shook his head quickly, "Brother Yu, you are a guest." "That's it. I'm too embarrassed to let a girl sleep in the living room." I lowered my head, turned on the computer, and began to contact the old man in Canada, and told him to investigate carefully the places I was more concerned about, and then collected relevant information on the Internet. Time flies, especially when there is a lot going on.In fact, Lin Xiaowei's story needs to be investigated is not complicated, but for some reason I always feel a little strange. If there was something wrong with the house used to test courage, she should have encountered strange things when she went back that night, but Lin Xiaowei said that she could see ghosts, and it was on October 15th, the second day after her friend Qian Jing died. sky.This alone is very strange. I personally think that perhaps Qian Jing's death is the main reason why Lin Xiaowei keeps seeing hallucinations. Until now, I still don't believe that that beautiful girl has eyes that can see ghosts at once, and that there must be ghosts in everything. Perhaps, the truth of the matter is hidden in a very conspicuous place. As for the haunted house mentioned by Lin Xiaowei, there are occasional records on many local forums in Gaolong City. Its real name is Famen Hall. People who have been there have posted that the lonely mansion is dark and eerie. The mansion that was once glorious in the past has suffered a fatal misfortune, and it has long been deserted and deserted. Legend has it that this mansion was cursed and became a haunted house. Since the first generation of owners fled abroad, lingering ghosts have started to make trouble in this gloomy haunted house, scaring away its previous owners, and finally abandoned to this day. . The Famen Hall is located at the end of a certain road in the suburbs of Gaolong City. The majestic figure seems to emerge from the flat ground suddenly, which is chilling, and it has different appearances in different seasons, which is so weird and extraordinary. In this regard, I am noncommittal.Things on the Internet are echoed by others, and it is only clear after actual investigation. I rubbed my sore temples only after I had almost done what I was doing.Song Shiyu, who had been bored on the sofa watching TV all this time, went into the room to sleep at some point. Looking at the watch, the hour hand slipped past eleven o'clock in the evening.Song Jiaming didn't show any signs of coming back, but the work in the hospital was always so complicated. Stretching, I looked out the window. There is no possibility of the snow stopping at all. When you wake up tomorrow morning, you will definitely see a vast expanse of white ground and roofs. Just when she was about to get up to pour water, she saw Song Shiyu hugging the pillow and tiptoed out of the room.She was wearing cute cartoon pajamas, her long black hair like a waterfall was casually tied, and her face was a bit unnatural. "Aren't you going to bed so late?" Seeing the girl I just met for a day wearing pajamas, I felt a little uncomfortable. "Oh, I'm afraid." She said with a mournful expression, "My mind is full of what Sister Xiaowei said, and I can't sleep because of the fright." I scratched my head, not knowing how to respond, so I could only perfunctorily say, "That's it." But then, the girl spat out a sentence that made me spit out all the water I just drank, "Brother Yu, why don't you sleep with me." I turned around to look at her with a dull face, and sighed in my heart, girls nowadays are really open and bold. Perhaps because she suddenly realized the ambiguity in her words, the girl blushed and stammered, "Ah, well, I don't mean to sleep with you, but I want you to accompany me and give me courage. Ah, no, Anyway, I mean, that, that..." I covered my forehead, did this lady come to punish me on purpose?How come the more you explain, the more ambiguous it becomes! Seeing that he really couldn't explain clearly, Song Shiyu simply expressed it with actions.She took out a stack of quilts from the house and spread them on the floor of the living room, next to the sofa, and then smiled silly. "That's what I actually mean!" I didn't understand what she wanted to express, so I was so depressed that I simply ignored this girl from another dimension. "Good night, Brother Yu." The girl lay down on her own, pulled the quilt comfortably to cover her beautiful body, then gave me a sweet look, and still did not forget to tease: "If brother Yu is also afraid, half a seat next to me I can leave it to you." Sure enough, her panic just now was simply used to trick me. I drank water with black lines all over my head, watched the girl close her eyes and gradually fell asleep, and turned my gaze back to the computer screen. After an unknown amount of time, the phone rang suddenly.
