Chapter 33 Chapter 3 Dorm Night Talk

It's time to turn off the lights in the dormitory, and the "sleeping meeting" officially begins. "Did you hear the piano sound in the middle of the night last night?" Xianling asked lying on the bed. "No, why is there a piano here?" It was Hai Li who was sleeping on the upper bunk of the slender bunk who answered. "Probably not." "I slept until dawn last night, so I'm not sure." Everyone said they didn't hear. "Hee hee, are you not dreaming about the piano prince?" Hai Li laughed. "A prince is a prince, but not a piano prince, but a puppet prince." Xianling said helplessly.

"Speaking of puppets, I think of a scary rumor." It was Bilian, a short-haired girl who was good at telling ghost stories, who spoke. "What are the rumors, tell me quickly!" Everyone knew that tonight's story was about to begin, and they were used to hearing Bilian's ghost stories before going to bed. Bilian cleared her throat: "It is said that an old farmer in Chiayi, Taiwan collected a magical puppet. This puppet seems to be from Japan. It is about 30 centimeters tall and has long black hair. The workmanship is exquisite and beautiful. .” Billian paused and asked, "Do you know what's so special about this puppet?"

"If you don't tell me, how will we know." I don't know who is answering. Bilian let out a mysterious laugh, and continued to tell the story after laughing for a while: "It is said that the hair of this puppet is made of dead people's hair, and it will grow. Although it grows slowly, it does grow stronger every year. Old, and black and bright, like the fine hair..." Xianling shuddered and cursed: "You want to die, why are you comparing me with my hair." Among the eight people in the dormitory, her hair was the most black and beautiful. Bilian smiled strangely: "Hehehe, what's even more frightening is that in the middle of the night when there is a moon, there will be weird giggles and giggles from the room where the puppets are stored. If you walk into that room at this time, you will see... ..."

Bilian stopped in the middle of her speech. Everyone wanted to know what they would see, but no one asked any questions because they were all curled up under the covers and trembling.What Bilian wants is this effect: "People who walk into the room will see the moon shining on the puppet, making the puppet's hair shine brightly. And the puppet will cover its mouth with its hands and giggle at the people who walk in." laugh……" Bilian stopped again, and this time she didn't make a sound for a long time, as if she had fallen asleep.Not only did she not speak, she didn't even make a sound of breathing, which made people wonder if she died suddenly.

Quiet, like a cemetery at midnight, enveloped the entire dormitory in an uneasy and weird atmosphere.After a long time, someone finally couldn't bear the dead silence and asked, "What about after that?" "Do you believe this kind of thing too? Hehehe..." Bilian's mischievous laughter dissipated the strange atmosphere, "Later, a TV station went to interview this old farmer and stayed at his house for a few nights. I have never heard that a puppet can laugh, let alone cover its mouth with its hands. But it has been confirmed that the puppet's hair can grow."

"You mean that old farmer lied?" Xianling asked. Bilian said: "You can't say that, maybe what he said is true to him." "Isn't that contradictory!" Hailey said dissatisfied. "Don't worry, just listen to my explanation." Bilian cleared her throat again, "The Buddha said that all things have spirits. This is not a fool's word, nor is it a pure philosophical thought. Use modern science to understand this sentence The words should mean that everything in the world has a magnetic field and can influence each other." "Since when did you become a nun, why did you tell us about Buddhist gatha?" Hai Li was confused, not knowing what she wanted to say.

Bilian was a little displeased: "You are the nun. I want to say that although a puppet is a dead thing, it also has a magnetic field, and the old farmer and the puppet face each other day and night, and they will affect each other. The magnetic field between the two gradually becomes stronger. So, in some cases, the old farmers would be affected by the puppets, hallucinating, hearing the puppets laughing, and even seeing the puppets moving." "That is to say, everything is just the illusion of the old farmer." Xianling said. "That's right, it is indeed an illusion. In fact, the so-called ghosts are illusions. But..." Bilian's tone suddenly became mysterious again, "But, can you tell what is an illusion and what is reality? If you are killed by an illusion If you die, then the real you will also die. Many people who explore haunted houses will die suddenly for no reason. In fact, they have hallucinations due to the influence of magnetic fields, are killed by hallucinations, or are scared to death by hallucinations."

After Bilian finished speaking, no one made a sound, the creepy feeling made them speechless.After a long time, Xianling finally broke the silence and said, "Bilian, do you think there are really ghosts in this world?" "Believe it or not." "Don't play tricks on me, let's make it clear." Xianling asked again. "The so-called ghosts are just a kind of magnetic field. They are not as powerful as people think. They are omnipotent through walls and walls. They are actually very weak. They are like radio signals. I believe it will be easier if they exist. If you receive them and are affected by them, you will have hallucinations. If you don’t believe it, you will resist receiving it, and of course you won’t see strange things. So, if you believe it, you have it, and if you don’t believe it, you don’t see it.”

"And what about the puppet's hair?" Hayley asked. "This problem can only be explained after scientists do more research. Let me tell you something." Bi Lian paused as she spoke, listening to everyone's reactions. No one made a sound, they were waiting for another story. Bi Lian said: "When there was no mandatory cremation, most people were buried in the ground after death. Generally speaking, three years after the ancestors were buried, they had to be 'boned', that is, the bones of the ancestors were removed from the coffin. Take it out and put it in a pagoda to worship. I heard from my grandfather that when my great-grandmother’s bones were raised, her body was still intact and not rotted at all. You must know that my great-grandmother had been buried for three years at that time. What’s even more frightening is that, At that time, Grandma’s hair was obviously longer than when she was buried. It’s been three years since people died, but their hair is still growing, what a terrible thing!”

Bilian deliberately didn't go on, until Haili asked her what happened after that, and she continued: "At that time, everyone was scared to death. Those blunt complaints said that the grandma was buried in the mortuary, and how many years later the corpse It will not decompose, if not, it will turn into a corpse and jump out to harm people, so the corpse must be cremated immediately. People in the past were very superstitious, believing that if the corpse does not melt, it will become a zombie and harm people. Of course, my grandfather is no exception , ordered someone to burn the body of Grandma Tai on the spot.”

Bi Lian suddenly pretended to be mysterious and said: "It may not be surprising that the corpse does not decompose, and there are occasional reports in the newspapers about corpses that have not been transformed for a thousand years. But after death, it is rare to hear that hair will continue to grow. Why this is so, no one can say." The dead silence fell again, and the story Bilian told made the girls in the dormitory tremble and fall asleep.
