Chapter 31 Sixty-fifth Night Wall

There are always more or less rumors about university dormitories, especially those old buildings with decades of age, black wooden floors full of cracks, long and dark toilets, all of which make people feel very uncomfortable. , if there are any accidents, the troublemakers will get worse, stories within stories, old students always like to use these to frighten newcomers, watching them trembling in obedience always feels dark in their hearts , No reason, just because the same is true when I enter the school, just like a monkey with its tail cut off, every time a new monkey enters the cage in the future, it will always be collectively held down by the previous monkeys, and its tail will be cut off.

Li Zheng's departure made Ji Yan's personality seem to become much lower. Only when Li Duo was around could he still see a few traces of his smiling face. Most of the time, he stood by the window smoking a stuffy cigarette alone. I would like to see him like this. It happened that the newspaper and several other magazines planned to hold a book and newspaper exhibition in a certain university. That school was the medical school where Ji Yan once studied. So I warmly invited him to go with him, but at first he refused. , but couldn't stand my repeated pestering, I finally persuaded him with the excuse of helping.

After graduation, people often go to school and look at those enthusiastic and energetic students. They can always find a few shadows of themselves in the past, and people will naturally become younger. Different from other schools, the students of the medical school always seem to have wisdom and stability that do not match their actual age. It is no wonder that doctors naturally need to be meticulous and rigorous, and they must not be sloppy. As time goes by, they will naturally be a little dull Of course, it is not absolute. For example, the boy who is leading us in front of us is very active.

"You know, when I first entered college, I heard a story from the old student who picked me up. It was very scary, but it must be just a legend." The tall boy named Hua Yuefeng spoke with a Jiangnan accent. Introduced to us in nice Mandarin. Ji Yan smiled, has he heard of it too?Hua Yuefeng didn't know that the person in front of him was an alumnus who was several years older than him.Ji Yan was stunned for a moment when he saw Hua Yuefeng at the beginning, but he quickly returned to normal, and then smiled and said that he could really find his previous feeling when he saw them suddenly.

"Tell me, what's that story?" I asked curiously. "It's like this," Hua Yuefeng cleared his throat, and said exaggeratedly with a very performative nature. "In this university, in our main dormitory building, there is a carpet on every floor, except for the fourth floor, which is often changed and washed, and it is all grayish yellow, only the fourth floor is red. , Even if it rains or someone occasionally splashes water on it, the red color will not fade in the slightest. When we asked the old students what was going on, most of them didn't know, only the senior counselor who picked me up said in Cantonese: "Young students, Qian Qiyou can force yourself to study" ( Children, don’t force yourself too much when studying).

It is said that a few years ago, two good friends lived in the dormitory on the fourth floor. They studied different majors, but both had similar hobbies, and their grades were very good. You must know that studying in medical school is very cruel. Yes, the elimination system is much stricter than other schools. Every year, quite a few people are rejected because they cannot stand the cruel exams, and some are directly persuaded to leave. Stressed students are almost unacceptable, so suicide in medical school is nothing new. The same is true for these two people. The intense study almost made them breathless. One of the classmates studying in the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology is very smart, while the other is relatively harder.However, the results of boys in orthopedics department are slightly better.Let's call the boy studying orthopedics Mr. A, and the other one B.

Mr. A had to go out for practice frequently for a period of time. Every time he came back, he saw his roommate studying hard with a thick "Anatomy". Progressing slowly, I knew that one day Mr. A found a note from a friend on the desk. There is a sentence written on it; 'Can you lend me something? He smiled after reading it, and then he also wrote a note, saying that of course he could, and then went out. When he came back the next day, his friend was not there, but there was another note on the table. 'It's very important, I'm afraid you won't. 'He thought it was interesting, and replied Zhang, saying that it's okay, we are friends, and it doesn't matter to borrow.

But that classmate never said that he wanted to borrow anything, and this matter gradually faded away in Mr. A's mind. Until one summer weekend, Mr. A was tired of reading and lay down on the table to sleep. Suddenly, he was pulled up in a daze. The boy who studied orthopedics opened his eyes and found his dormitory friend with messy hair, foaming at the mouth and staring at him. eyes, and lifted himself up with a shiny new scalpel in his hand. 'Read, read, endless books, what to do, what to do? ' said the man in a broken voice, Mr. A was frightened, and quickly asked his roommate what was wrong.

'Can you lend me your brain?This way I don't have to be so tired. ' the man suddenly asked with a serious expression. Mr. A finally understood that what his roommate had been trying to borrow was his brain, and he could see that his friend was not joking, so he began to struggle vigorously.But before he could resist a little, the scalpel had cut his neck open, and blood sprayed out immediately. The medical student holding a scalpel looked at his classmate and friend who fell at his feet with satisfaction, watching him helplessly clutching his throat. 'Now I have the brain to remember things. 'He dragged his friend's legs and walked out, but he was pitiful for that man. He didn't understand why he was killed until he died. He was not dead at the time, but his throat was cut and he couldn't cry out. His body was slowly dragged into the end of the dark corridor, and he saw a long trail of blood dragging out from under him.

It is said that the blood stains could not be washed off, so it was used to warn us that we must not force ourselves too much in reading, and do everything according to our ability.But I guess it's fake. After Hua Yuefeng finished telling the story, he touched his head, narrowed his eyes and smiled. I also smiled, but suddenly found that Ji Yan beside me didn't smile. "That's not a rumor, it's true, but it's slightly different from what you said." Ji Yan looked at Hua Yuefeng.The latter smiled and made a gesture of please, motioning for Ji Yan to continue. "I used to be a student of this school too. The incident you mentioned happened when I just entered the freshman year." The three found a gazebo to sit down, and Ji Yan began to talk slowly.

"Everyone comes from all over the country. It is the first time for most of them to leave their hometowns and come to a completely unfamiliar city. At the beginning, they were a little awkward, but because they are all boys, they quickly became familiar. The dormitory is There are four people, but the three people in my dormitory have their own characteristics. Both Xiaohua and I are local, tall, thin, handsome, and cheerful.The other is Liu Ge, who comes from Beijing with a wealthy family, and the last one is Yan Nan who didn't move into the dormitory until the beginning of school. Among the four, Yan Nan is the most serious, but he is not cold and cold, just like an abacus, when someone dials it, he will move it, and if you ask him, he will answer it, and he will never say more, and then he will go back to reading desperately. "I came to school relying on the food saved from the mouths of my fellow villagers. I could only study hard." Whenever we persuaded him to take a break, Yan Nan always raised his head and held the bridge of his nose With wide open eyes, Yan Nan spoke earnestly with thin lips, so most of the time, if he went out to play or eat, Yan Nan would never go. Although we brought some for him every time we came back, he refused to accept it. .Not to mention wine and meat friends, but most of the time people rely on eating and drinking to connect with each other. For a long time, Yan Nan and everyone have somewhat separated. "He probably doesn't want to owe us anything." Xiaohua sat on the balcony with a cigarette in his mouth and a guitar in his arms. There were only him and me in the dormitory. girl.It is said that he is very powerful. As early as in high school, his girlfriend would call and count, and we have never seen that girl stay with him for more than two weeks.But the strange thing is that this guy's grades are very good, and his homework is good every time he takes the exam, which really makes me envious. I like getting along with Xiaohua very much. Firstly, they are all from the local area. Secondly, he can play the guitar and sing well, but he is a little desolate. The days passed slowly, but strange things began to surface. The first is our dormitory, which is a building from the period of the Republic of China. I don’t understand that the school has refused to dismantle it. Although the interior has been renovated, it still makes people feel uncomfortable. The big reason is that there is always a smell in it. The musty smell is like damp clothes that have been placed in the box for a long time, and we are the last dormitory on the dormitory floor, and the walls are just on the outermost side, so whenever it rains, the walls are always wet One piece makes it hard to fall asleep. The outermost ones are Xiaohua and Yannan. But the strange thing is that the wall next to Xiaohua is as dry as usual, and Yannan is complaining. He comes from an area with little rain, and such a wet rainy season makes it difficult for him to sleep. I saw him always tossing and turning in bed at night, so I proposed to make a deal with him. He changed the bed to sleep. Yan Nan disagreed at first, but the long-term lack of quality of sleep caused his academic performance to drop slightly, and finally he agreed. "I'm sorry to bother you, but we'll change back as soon as the rainy season is over." Yan Nan rushed to help me pack my things, but I waved my hand and said no. "No, it must be changed back!" Yan Nan's eyes widened, pulling my bed sheet tightly.I had no choice but to say yes repeatedly, and he recovered.After Yan Nan went out, Brother Liu who was lying on the bed texting suddenly stuck his head out and sneered. "Look at that fucker, what do you think you are, Ji Yan, you are a good person for nothing, this kind of person won't remember your kindness to him at all." Brother Liu said dismissively. "It's nothing, I like being with Xiaohua anyway." I smiled. "Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to him, I'll go to Xiguo at night, the girls here are much brighter, why don't I call you and Xiaohua later if there is any extra, because you guys are boring anyway. "As he spoke, his cell phone rang, and he yelled a few words at the phone, then jumped out of bed and took the key. "Brother, I won't be coming back tonight, so don't leave the door open for me." After finishing speaking, he left in a hurry. When he went out, he happened to see Yan Nan walking in with a washbasin. The two stood in place and looked at each other. Then they went their separate ways. When people from all over the world gather together, there is some estrangement, and I just thought so at the time. But during that time, Xiaohua's complexion was very bad.When I asked him what was wrong, he never said anything, and finally he opened his mouth to speak out when he was in a hurry. "Every day after you fall asleep, the wall against me is wriggling." He lowered his head and said in a calm voice. "How is this possible?" I felt a little ridiculous when I heard it at first, "Maybe you are too tired from studying recently?" "No, otherwise, try to sleep on my bed with a pen and paper tonight. I don't dare to sleep anyway. I'll go home to sleep at night." He said, picked up his schoolbag, and went out. Seeing that his expression was not very good, I wanted to stop him, but he ran away immediately. Yan Nan went out early in the evening, and I was the only one left in the dormitory. I was lying on Xiaohua's bed, but I didn't notice any abnormality, so I fell into a deep sleep. Not long after, it started to rain heavily outside, and black water stains gradually appeared on the wall, but my side was still white. Suddenly I heard another voice among the rain and thunder. It was a sound of slapping the wall, very rhythmic. I used to sleep on my own bed, and I often heard this sound, because the students in the next dormitory like to lie on the bed and listen to music, knocking on the wall with their erect thighs, or patting the wall for fun. But now there is nothing on the other side of the wall. I put my ear against the wall, and sure enough, the sound became clearer, and I could almost tell that it was the sound of my head hitting the wall. At this time, the face stuck to the wall felt that the wall was really creeping. Although it was only a slight touch, I could clearly feel it.I flinched back immediately. That's right, under the fluorescent lights in the dormitory, the wall was indeed bumpy like kneading dough, and finally stopped. I touched it with my hand, and it was very textured. Jumping off the bed, I quickly took out a large piece of white paper and a pencil from the drawer. The white paper was originally used to draw human skeletons. I remembered that when I was a child, I often put paper on coins to draw pictures. Similarly, I spread white paper on the wall, and then painted it with a pencil on a large scale. As the pencil lead gradually smoothed, a human face with black background and white lines appeared on the paper. It was a female face, although it was not very clear, but it could be seen that the facial features were very good, she was a beautiful girl, but there was a slight sadness between her brows, her eyes were tightly closed, and the corners of her mouth were slightly turned up, as if Laughing, but that smile is full of despair. Without thinking about it, I immediately tore up the paper and threw it into the trash can. Illusion, I touched the wall again, but I could only feel it was as smooth as a mirror, but the previous uneven feeling was gone, and the strange impact sound was gone.I can only unilaterally think that the matter is over, and it seems to be the case. The next day Xiaohua came back, as if nothing happened, and chatted with me with a smile, talking about how much delicious food I ate when I went back. Hammered him. Then Brother Liu also came back, he seemed to be in a good mood, this guy was sitting next to me in class, he smelled of alcohol, and there was a faint fragrance of powder in his body. "Today I have to hand in the vascular distribution map assigned last week, did you draw it? Be careful, it will be funny if you fail the final exam." It was Yan Nan who collected the homework. It's linked to the final exam, so I'm naturally a little worried. "Don't unplug me, you don't have to worry about me at all. I won't fail my exams. I forgot to tell you. I had a good time last night, buddy. I'm still a chick. It's rare, but it's just a bit dead Don't leave, although I'm pretty, I can't be with a woman for more than two weeks, or you will laugh at me, right?" He put his big arms around my shoulders, and I patted his hands away. "You just do it, be careful and there will be retribution, but no woman will marry you, one is really lonely." As soon as he finished speaking, he fell asleep, and I had no choice but to continue listening to the class. It's very strange, I didn't see him draw or submit, but the teacher didn't point it out. Later, I checked the results and found that he scored higher than me, and got the same score as Yannan. Before the final exam, even Brother Liu was a little nervous, and he began to tighten his face and review the textbooks. He is very smart, reads much faster, and asks good questions. But I still saw some people come to look for him in the dormitory, both men and women, most of them were scolded and ran away by him.Because the accumulative credits are not enough, they will be expelled from school immediately. That is not a glorious thing, and not one or two commit suicide by jumping off the main building every year for this.So even Yannan is more cautious and irritable than usual, the pressure of study and the hot weather are probably the reasons. It's just that there was a beautiful girl who always came over crying, no matter how Brother Liu chased her away, she would not leave, scolded and said good things, judging from the girl's accent, she seemed to be a local.She always stood at the door with her face sideways. She looked familiar, but she couldn't remember it. In the end, Brother Liu couldn't take it anymore, and went out with the girl. After a long time, I thought he was going to stay out again, but who knew that he ran back, with a dejected look on his face, and a slender and slender face appeared on his originally fair face. Delicate red palm prints. "How do I know if the child in my stomach is my seed? Really, he is still clinging to me, Ji Yan, are all the girls here like this?" I got used to it, but before I could counterattack him, Xiaohua suddenly jumped up uncharacteristically and rushed towards him. Brother Liu was unprepared, and immediately got hit on the face a few times.Xiaohua didn't say anything, just greeted Brother Liu, luckily I pulled them away, Yannan stood by the side, watching blankly. "The exam is coming soon, if you want to fight to the death, stay away from it." Yan Nan sat on the chair and said, then went to the self-study classroom with the book. Xiao Hua also went out, I always feel that he is a little strange recently, before leaving, he just said to Brother Liu, "If you mess around in the future, you will be destroyed sooner or later." Brother Liu jumped up angrily, but I held him down . "I'm just looking at your face, otherwise I'll tear him down!" I comforted him a few words, but also felt upset, so I went out for a walk.Brother Liu was the only one left reading in the dormitory. I came to the downstairs of the dormitory, looked at the outermost wall, and still couldn't figure out what happened that day. At that time, I suddenly received a call, saying that my father's condition in the hospital was getting worse. I just called Brother Liu in the dormitory to ask him to ask for leave for me, but no one answered. The matter was urgent, so I had to rush to the hospital first. up. My father was seriously ill after graduating from high school, and he never recovered. Fortunately, it was not too serious, but I still stayed in the hospital overnight. I rushed back to school in the early morning of the next day, and it suddenly started to rain, and it was urgent and heavy. I didn’t bring an rain gear, so I had to hurry to the dormitory. At this time, even Yan Nan, who likes to go to the grass to memorize words early in the morning, is probably too late. Gotta stay in the room. When I came to the downstairs of the dormitory, I didn't go up again, because I saw a white thing hanging on the wall outside the dormitory, and the location seemed to be in our dormitory. Like a rainy day doll, I can see it clearly, it seems to be a girl, wearing a white dress, black hair and skirt are wet by rain, tightly stuck to the body, her back is facing me, and her face is facing the wall .A long rope was tied around her neck. The wind started to blow, and her slender and thin body was blown up like it was made of paper, and then hit the wall heavily, making a thumping sound. I immediately called the school administration, and soon, they put the girl's body down. The girl's face was exactly the same as the one I copied off the wall last time. And it was very familiar. When I thought about it later, this seemed to be the girl who often came to see Brother Liu.Since the genius had just dawned, the school didn't want to cause unnecessary commotion, so they quickly blocked the news and carried away the girl's body. Not many people knew about it, and I was also told not to speak casually. The light in the dormitory building seemed to be broken. I stepped on the wooden floor, creaking under my feet. When I returned to the dormitory, brother Liu was gone, and so was Xiao Hua. Only Yan Nan was lying on the bed. I thought he was still sleeping, so I didn't call him, but suddenly I saw some blood on his hands. It was just a little bit, but I was sure it was blood because it had the characteristic clotted scabs of blood. I turned around and went out, but Yan Nan spoke. "Thank you very much for taking care of me for a long time. I don't like to owe others, because I don't have the ability to pay it back yet. You have been wondering about that kid's homework. In fact, I did it for him. During the exam, I I also helped him to cheat, but he is indeed very smart, he has a very good brain, he has a very good brain, and he memorizes some information that I need to spend a lot of time memorizing. It's fair. But it doesn't matter, I won't suffer anymore just to earn his money, look at his face." After Yan Nan finished speaking, she turned over on the bed.I didn't understand what he said, but I just knew that he had been secretly helping Brother Liu with his homework. When I walked out of the dormitory, I saw a long and narrow bloodstain outside the door. When I first came in, I was a little anxious, but I didn't pay attention. I walked down the bloodstain, which went all the way to the other end of the floor. There are toilets. At that time, there was only one toilet on each floor, instead of every dormitory as it is now. I walked into the toilet carefully, there was only the sound of dripping water. Brother Liu was lying against the wall with his head tilted, his big eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe it, the blood was left from his neck, his throat was cut open, the wound should be very sharp knives. Two dead students appeared one after another, and the school was in a bit of a mess. They carried Brother Liu's body away.When I lifted the body, I realized that Brother Liu's brain had also been taken away.A huge dark hole in the back of the head. The missing Xiaohua has also become the first choice for the police because it is said that Xiaohua was seen taking a scalpel from the operating room.And the girl who died was actually Xiao Hua's high school classmate, Xiao Hua had liked her for a long time. I called Xiaohua's home, and the person who answered the phone was a little boy who called Xiaohua's mother. "Xiaohua? He hasn't been home for a long time." Xiaohua's mother said strangely. I was very surprised. Didn't he go back a few days ago, and the next day he said that he ate a lot of dishes cooked by his mother. "No, that day he called and said he was going to come back for dinner, but he never came after the meal was ready. I was about to scold him." Xiaohua's mother started to chatter, I comforted her a few words, put down Telephone. Xiaohua disappeared just like that. Our dormitory died and disappeared. No one else dared to move in. It’s okay, Yannan and I like to be quiet.Yan Nan was afraid of the tide, so he slept on Xiao Hua's bed.I have been wondering about the blood on Yan Nan's hands that day. He reasoned that he accidentally cut it while doing an experiment. Although I don't believe it, the autopsy report said that Yan Nan had been sitting in the self-study classroom when Brother Liu died. , Hundreds of people testified for him. "Don't you suspect that I killed someone?" Yan Nan said with a sneer, and I naturally shook my head. He and I seldom spoke, and the days passed slowly, until a full year after Brother Liu died, there was another heavy rainy day in summer. I slept very drowsily that day. Yan Nan went to the self-study classroom to read all night. I woke up in the middle of the night and saw a person lying on the bed. I thought it was Yan Nan who came back again, but when I came back from the toilet, I found Yan Nan His slippers are still there. If he comes back, he will definitely change into them. This is his unshakeable habit. And there were no shoes under that bed. I didn't turn on the light, because the back of the person lying on the bed resembled Xiao Hua very much. "Is it you? Xiaohua?" I asked loudly, but there was no response. When I walked over, the person on the bed slowly got up, but he didn't come towards me, but pressed his body against the wall, The man's body melted into the wall like a sinking stone.I immediately turned on the light, and there was no one on the bed, but I saw a human-shaped white mark on the wall. After that, I never saw Xiaohua again. No one knew where he went. Later, Yannan refused to sleep there. He said that every day after falling asleep, he could feel the back of his body and the back of his neck. The sound of breathing, and you can even feel the cold air hitting your neck, making you shiver. A few years later we graduated and moved out of the dormitory. Yan Nan took the first step. He went back to his hometown to become a doctor. He said that the most gratifying thing in college was to have a friend like me. I said with a wry smile, "It would be great if it was three." Yan Nan remained silent. Later Yan Nan left, and when I was packing up, I found an iron box in his usually locked wardrobe. It was so light that I shook it, but didn't know what it was.I wanted to chase him, but when I got downstairs, I found that he had gone to the train station by car. I opened the box.Inside was a dry, whitish brainstem.Off-white, as if calcified, and like a large walnut kernel covered with a layer of lime.There is a strong smell of preservatives in the box. There is also a note inside, which is Yan Nan's notes. There are a few words written on it. "For a long time, I wanted to see the real human brain taken out of the head. When I found the guy's body, I picked up the scalpel on the ground and took his brain out. I wanted to know how he is. How is the human brain different from other people's?" There are several question marks and exclamation marks at the end of the note. I burned the box and the note. "I just don't know if the wall in the hearts of the three of them can be burned away." After Ji Yan finished speaking, her face became more melancholy, and the cigarette between her fingers left a long section of ash. Hua Yuefeng didn't speak either, but just asked a question suddenly. "It turns out that's the case, then I feel more at ease. I'm sleeping in the dormitory you mentioned, and my bed is on the outermost one, but I don't see any traces of human figures on the wall. Let me show you around the school." Then, he stood up and turned his back, and I saw his hand moving on his forehead, as if wiping sweat.When I turned to him, he covered his eyes with his hands. "The sun is really hot. It is estimated that there will be another heavy rain. Let's hurry up and go around." He said, and he strode ahead. "He looks a lot like Xiaohua." Ji Yan snuffed out the cigarette butt and threw it into a fruit bin by the side of the road. "Oh? But did you know what's wrong with that wall later?" I asked Ji Yan. "I don't know, I just know from my father's notes that some buildings are spiritual. Have you ever heard of salt penetration? Things with high concentration will neutralize things with low concentration. If Xiaohua is really sucked in by that wall, The wall naturally has life, and it is not surprising that it can sense in advance that the girl will have an accident a few days later, but I believe that there will be no more problems with the wall." Ji Yan smiled and looked at the back of Hua Yuefeng in front of her. "Oh? Why?" I asked him. "Because the current owner of that bed has no walls in his heart." Ji Yan finally laughed heartily, patted my shoulder, and strode to catch up with Hua Yuefeng.
