Chapter 14 Chapter 12 Beautiful Society

I judged that Xi Xiaoyun was lying, although her expression did not reveal a hint of lying at all. Staring noncommittally into her eyes, I said slowly: "Miss Xi Xiaoyun, I wonder if you have heard such a story before?" "There was a naughty teenager who confessed to the pastor: 'Pastor, I stole someone else's chicken.'" "The pastor said in amazement: 'This is not right, you are guilty of stealing.'" "'Pastor, then I'll give you the chicken, okay?'" "'I don't want it. Return the chicken to its owner.'"

"'What should I do if the master says no more?'" "The pastor thought for a while: 'If the owner doesn't want it, then you can take it back! Next time, don't steal anything again.'" "The young man thanked him happily and left. The pastor returned to his yard. Guess what he found? He actually found that the big fat hen he raised was gone." My tone became cold, "Some people want to hide the bad thoughts in their hearts with some specious or self-justified words. But they can't be fooled forever. No one can hide the truth forever. These lies will only make themselves Life is unhappy and uncomfortable, because he is always on guard against the day when he will be found out. On that day, I am afraid that what he will lose is not only what he concealed, but more, too much for him to bear. For example, the Udumbara flower, for example, The things you fear!"

Xi Xiaoyun shuddered, she finally couldn't help it under my gaze, and cursed in a low voice: "You devil, don't you allow a girl to hide a little secret in her heart?" "If that little secret was just about what I had in my dream last night, or who my crush was, and so on, of course I wouldn't be interested, because these have nothing to do with what I'm investigating." Said: "I'm afraid that what you concealed will be very troublesome, and it will harm you and everyone." Xi Xiaoyun's expression was a little gloomy, she lowered her head and thought for a while, and then slowly said: "Okay, let me tell you. I don't know, have you ever heard of a society called 'Beautiful'?"

The main show is coming! "Unfortunately, I have indeed heard of it." There was a trace of surprise on her face: "It seems that you really know a lot." "I'm afraid it's a little bit more than you imagined." I said modestly, "Don't try so much, just start with the Beauty Club and the crossroads game." Xi Xiaoyun's expression darkened. "Even you know that game? Well, then I don't need to hide too much. There is a mysterious club in this school, and not many people know about it. "Everyone in the club calls it 'beautiful'. As the name suggests, the purpose of the club is to communicate how to become more beautiful. No one knows how the club was established. According to my investigation, this club suddenly appeared more than half a year ago.

"The members of the first generation were all girls, and each member was recommended by members of the previous generation to join the club, and only after playing a special game can we determine whether to accept it. That special game is called Crossroads. The game will be played at a specific time, It is held at a fixed location. In fact, the game is not complicated, but each member circles around a archway in the middle of a crossroad, hand in hand, no more, no less, 33 times, and it is over." I looked straight into her eyes to make sure she wasn't lying. The mysterious crossroads game turned out to be like this, and the beautiful society is not mysterious after all.But why do I always have a weird feeling, as if I have missed some thoughts.

"And then?" I asked. Xi Xiaoyun didn't continue talking, but just stretched out her slender and fair right hand towards me, spreading her palm open. "What does this mean?" I was stunned. "Give me the Udumbara flower, and I'll tell you everything!" She looked towards the place where I hid the glass bottle. "Why should I give it to you?" I frowned. "It's very simple, the principle of equivalent exchange. I have told you so much, and I will tell you more later. The value of this information is all found at the cost of this girl's life. It is not simply for me to see One look at the Udumbara flower is all you need. I want the Udumbara flower in your hand, otherwise it will fall down. My secret will be rotted in my stomach forever. You can investigate by yourself. But this beauty tells you that these things are not something you, a boy, can do. It can be explored!" Xi Xiaoyun bit her lower lip, her face full of cunning.

This little girl is not simple, she aroused my interest, and when it came to the most critical moment, she choked on the information, making me unable to advance or retreat.What else can I do? After searching for so long, I really haven't found many useful clues. Although it is known that Wu Ping may have something to do with the Beauty Club, it is only a guess. I don't have many choices, but the Udumbara flower in my hand seems to be a matter of life and death. Could it be that this Udumbara can have some kind of magical effect on human beings.For Udumbara?Why does Xi Xiaoyun want to get it so desperately?What is she using it for?Seeing her fierce eyes even resemble Zhou You's transformation from mediocrity to beauty, from man to woman, it's also because she saw that I didn't give anything back, so she immediately added a sentence: "Think carefully, if you give me something, I will The beauty can even take you to the meeting place of the beautiful club. That place can only be found by internal members, and it is also the key to the crossroads game. Tonight is a fixed time to play the game. You can see those members for yourself, that mysterious game , and the impact of the game."

This sentence greatly added a weight to my hesitant heart.Gritting his teeth for the last time, he took out the glass bottle and handed it to Xi Xiaoyun. Xi Xiaoyun grabbed the glass bottle tightly in her palm and danced excitedly.Then she did something that surprised me.This girl who looked pure and beautiful like a lily actually opened the glass bottle and swallowed the Udumbara plant in the bottle. I was dumbfounded. But she closed her eyes, savoring something deeply.After opening his eyes, the deep worry that was originally hidden suddenly disappeared, and he let out a breath of relief.

Xi Xiaoyun took out the mirror to look at her face, and suddenly kissed me fiercely on the cheek with excitement: "Thank you!" I haven't recovered from the accident just now, and at this time, it was like being struck by lightning again, and I almost lost my composure. Although it was not without experience of being kissed, it was the first time for such a sudden kiss.What a surprise!There still seems to be a numb feeling on the face, soft, wet, and very comfortable. She also seemed to realize something, and when she calmed down, her face flushed suddenly, she lowered her head shyly, and raised it after a long time: "Well, I'm so happy, I'm sorry."

I smiled and shook my head: "It's really an honor to be kissed by a beautiful woman. But is it clean? It seems that this Udumbara has not been studied by any health organization or medical organization. I don't know if it can be eaten!" I still feel a little sick when I get up, especially when I think of where the Udumbara was collected, I feel like vomiting. Xi Xiaoyun was a little embarrassed, and quickly changed the subject: "Let's go quickly, the game is about to start, and it's just the right time to rush over." After she finished speaking, she dragged me to the back garden of the school in a hurry.

In an inconspicuous corner of the back garden of the school, there was actually a small hole, just enough for a person to slip through.Xi Xiaoyun led me out of the school wall, and then walked to the northeast. The sky was very dark, only the light of some moons dimly sprinkled on the earth.Looking around, there are wild grasses that cannot be seen, and wild plants that are taller than people.Xi Xiaoyun shuttled through the field very skillfully, without checking the direction at all. It seems that she has walked this road countless times, so that she is familiar with it to this extent.Could this girl also be a member of the Beauty Society?Or, had she joined that mysterious society because of the investigation? Xi Xiaoyun seemed to have guessed what I was thinking, and said: "I had a referrer recommend me to join the club before, but it didn't work at the beginning. That club is very strange. They don't need names for each other, and they are all represented by numbers." The code name, and even if the members meet on the road, they will pretend not to know each other." "Then why didn't you join the club because you weren't pretty enough?" I was very interested. "You man, what nonsense are you talking about!" Xi Xiaoyun glared at me, "In the beauty club, every member needs to contribute one person to join the club, and the person who contributes is called a trustee, and the trustee must be a man. I'm not in compliance." I seemed to have thought of something, and asked in a low voice, "The two girls, Zhou Jie and Zhao Lu, who share the dormitory with you, are they members of the club?" Xi Xiaoyun hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Yes. They belong to the second generation, code-named No. 4 and No. 6." I stared at her and continued to ask: "Is the incident of the girl withering in the school related to that club and the game at the crossroads?" "Maybe." She looked a little hesitant: "I'm not an insider, so I don't know much about it." This little girl must be hiding something. After walking with her for more than half an hour, my eyes were full of overgrown weeds, very depressed and depressed. There must be no road, but there are some human footprints. It seems that there are not few people coming and going in this place.It's just that I don't know if it's all the footprints of that mysterious society. Not long after I left, I suddenly felt that the neighborhood became familiar. Looking at the environment, it seemed that I had been here one day. The further you go, the stronger the feeling of familiarity.The surrounding weeds have become sparser, the height is not so high, and the range that the eyes can see is slightly larger. Going forward for a while, the line of sight suddenly opened up, and an ancient gravel road appeared. We got out of the grass and stood on a path paved with flagstones.This road has been in disrepair for a long time, and it is indescribably desolate and depressed.In the distance, under the faint moonlight, some old buildings could be vaguely seen in sight. And the road under his feet stretched straight forward, drilling into the small town from an archway not far away. "It's almost there, their secret base is just ahead." Xi Xiaoyun pointed to not far away with her finger. I looked in the direction of her finger and couldn't help being stunned. The building complex in the distance looks like a very old town, and the gravel road under the feet is like a monster's tongue, smooth and straight extending to a towering archway.Under the not-so-bright moonlight, the archway reflected a cold luster, so cold that even a glance could freeze the bone marrow. The gravel road passes under the archway and extends to a distance that cannot be caught by sight.From a distance, it seems that there are still some not-so-high buildings standing inside. This is indeed a familiar place, and I can no longer be familiar with the familiar place.It turned out that the secret base of the Beautiful Society was on the first day I came to Zhoushui University. I saw the ruins that Zhou You followed in his footsteps after his death. Damn it, I should have thought of it long ago!Since Zhou You ran out desperately from there, there must be his reasons. "What are you in a daze for?" Xi Xiaoyun glanced at me. "No, I just think this place looks a bit weird!" I acted like I was a little scared. Xi Xiaoyun smiled lowly: "You lied to me that I was a child, and the famous Mr. Ye Buyu would also be afraid. Ha ha." "I'm human, as long as I'm human, there will be times when I will be afraid." I said indifferently, looking around without blinking. The surrounding area has not changed much, it is still the dilapidated deserted town, still so gloomy, the archway not far away still exudes a cold atmosphere, everything makes me uneasy, as if something is about to happen. Following Xi Xiaoyun's tiptoe, she passed through the archway and entered the desolate and desolate town.She put her hand in front of her mouth and gave a soft "shh", signaling me to be as careful as possible, and walked along the gravel path to the intersection. Xi Xiaoyun is very familiar with the route, and she is also very clear about the hidden places.She took me down a completely different path from the one she took last time.Strictly speaking, it was not considered a road at all, it was completely shuttling through the gaps between the collapsed and broken houses, and finally came to a very small and dilapidated hut. "Where is this?" I asked suspiciously. She didn't speak, just pointed to the wall. I looked in the direction of her finger, and saw many small holes in the wall, through which I could see the situation outside the house. Outside the house is the intersection in the center of the town.Looking out at a glance, I saw several girls holding hands around the archway in the middle of the road.They circled silently while walking in a strange dance. The faint moonlight sprinkled down from the sky and sprinkled on the faces of those girls. For a moment, there was even a suffocating feeling.Each of those girls has a beautiful face, with piety on their faces, and they are silently muttering something. "That's the game at the crossroads." Xi Xiaoyun brought her rosy and attractive mouth to my ear, and a scent of fragrance blew into my ear, sweet and itchy. "It's really simple. But, is this really just a game?" On the faces of those girls, I couldn't see even a little bit of acting. "It may be an incorrect description to say that it is a game. But games are like praying to Buddha to keep you safe. Believe it or not. If you believe it is not a game, it will definitely not be a game; if you believe it It's a game, but it's definitely more than a game to you." Xi Xiaoyun's tone was rather mysterious.It's just that I don't quite understand her string of tongue twisters. What a mess, as far as I am concerned, the game at the crossroads, this thing is not only not a game, it is more like a ritual.A summoning ceremony. In the past, there was a game of summoning UFOs in many countries in the world, and the method was exactly the same as that of the beautiful girls in front of me. The same group of people, male and female, are in a very open place, holding hands, closing their eyes and forming a big circle, and then slowly turning around at a fixed point, sincerely calling for UFOs to come to the earth . It's just that the ritual is said to have never summoned a UFO.Even if something really came out, it would definitely not be a UFO or an alien visitor, but something more terrifying and weird... I once encountered this real incident in Germany. People who had played that game died one after another. The state after death was not much easier than that of Zhou You.But that's another story, I'll tell you when I have time. The summoning game is not a game that can be regarded as a joke.As long as it is at a certain time, place, and under certain conditions, terrifying things will be summoned.These girls are so pious, I am afraid that it is really possible for their dreams to come true. It's just that dreams like this come true, and there is a price to pay. Could it be that this so-called crossroads game is really the root of blight, and also the reason why Zhou You changed from male to female and turned many girls from mediocrity to beauty? No, maybe the incident is far more complicated than I imagined! Seeing me staring at the ceremony outside, Xi Xiaoyun explained softly: "All the people in the Beautiful Club are referred to by number codes. Those girls, from left to right, are number five, ten, seven, and ten. Number one, number nine." I whispered, "Then is there a girl named Wu Ping in this club?" "Yes, I have investigated her, she is No. 13. Hey, it's strange!" She lowered her brows and looked carefully: "That Wu Ping is no longer here. Could it be that she has found a trustee?" "Bosser? What's this?" I asked. "If you want to leave the beauty society, you must find a trustee, and that trustee must be a man with a heart that loves you." Xi Xiaoyun pointed to the five people who performed the ceremony, "If you don't find a trustee, Just stay in the club for the rest of your life, come to this town every two nights, and play a game of crossroads." "What if you don't come?" "He will die." Her face was a little gloomy, and she suddenly chuckled again, "Of course, that's just a rumor in the market. No one knows if she will really die." "Because everyone who knows is already dead." I snorted. Xi Xiaoyun curled her lips, "You are really fussing about your thinking. This is just an ordinary game played by an ordinary college student. How could someone die?" I am noncommittal, looking at the pious looks of those girls, this is definitely not like a child's play. If there is no problem with these, then how to explain the girl who suddenly withered and died in Zhoushui University?How to explain the series of weird things that happened to Zhou You? Could it be that the girls who died strangely all participated in the beauty club, thought that the crossroads game was just a game, and then left the club without authorization and no longer obeyed the rules of the game? Just how to investigate the connection between the two?While watching the ceremony outside, I desperately cleared my mind.Just then, a terrifying situation happened. I saw No. 5 who was playing the game suddenly startled, and then everyone stopped all movements.Five people, ten eyes all looked in our direction at the same time. The eyes of those girls were full of tyranny and anger, and there was a strange light in their eyeballs. They stared at the place where we were hiding without blinking. Their eyes were full of penetrating power, as if the eyes in front of us The walls are empty. We both looked at each other and smiled wryly at the same time.Although we don't know how they found us, there is no doubt that we were indeed exposed!
