Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen

"Okay, Fuji and I are going to investigate the bath water." As soon as the words came out, he was suddenly stunned, "Have any of you seen Ye Buer?" Bai Xiaozhou and Qin Zheming looked at each other: "I haven't seen him for two days." Qu Siqi's expression changed instantly, he hurried out of the bathroom, and called Ye Buer. The cold female voice reminded him that the other party was not in the service area. "Oops, something might have happened." Qu Siqi frowned so anxiously that the word "Chuan" formed, and Bai Xiaozhou comforted him: "Don't worry too much, maybe it's just that the phone is temporarily unavailable."

Qu Siqi was silent for a moment: "I'll go to Jianjia Garden to have a look." "I go with you." The two hurried to Jianjia Garden. During the day, Jianjia Garden was just an ordinary garden, with students coming and going, it was very lively.Qingyun Building is now a classroom of the art department, and there is often music floating from the building, either clumsy or beautiful. The two searched around the garden, but without any clues, Bai Xiaozhou suggested to go to Qingyun Building to have a look.The light in the building was dim, and the two were attracted by the oil paintings hanging on the wall as soon as they entered the door.

It was a portrait, in which there were two young girls in white skirts, standing together arm in arm, as if carved out of a mold, with exactly the same face, clothes, movements, and even expressions. Bai Xiaozhou took a deep breath, the girl in the painting was exactly the same as in her dream. Qu Siqi let out a low cry, covered his head, with a painful expression on his face, Bai Xiaozhou said in surprise: "Are you okay?" "Headache." "Do you want to go to the school hospital?" "No need, old problem." He suddenly raised his head, Bai Xiaozhou was looking into his eyes, and found that some images flashed through his black pupils like a slideshow.She thought she had seen it wrong, and when she wanted to look again, Qu Siqi had already closed her eyes, and she let out a long sigh of relief: "I saw it."

"What did you see?" "Those two girls." Qu Siqi pointed at the painting, "I saw one of the girls was arguing with a middle-aged couple, and then they were lying on the hospital bed and pushed into the operating room. Afterwards, one seemed to recover, and the other One is still lying on the hospital bed. The sick one is probably dying, but the good one is laughing." Bai Xiaozhou looked at him inexplicably in amazement, and he smiled helplessly: "It's been like this since I was a child, and sometimes some strange pictures flashed before my eyes, some of which happened before, and some of which were about to happen, and I was also very troubled." Although his tone was joking, Bai Xiaozhou could clearly see the sadness flashing in his eyes.

"Then quickly see where Ye Buer is." "If you want to watch whatever you want, I'll already watch tomorrow's lottery!" Qu Siqi looked depressed.Before the words fell, a voice said quietly, "It's useless." Qu Siqi said almost without thinking, "It's you again!" Bai Xiaozhou thought the voice was very familiar, turned around, and saw the boy playing with knives standing against the gate, the dagger was constantly dancing sword flowers between his fingers. "Liu Mingxuan, I'm going to report you for possession of controlled knives!" Qu Siqi said through gritted teeth.

It turned out that his name was Liu Mingxuan. Liu Mingxuan threw him a notebook: "I haven't returned to the dormitory for two days, this is what he left on the table." After finishing speaking, he left without looking back. Bai Xiaozhou felt that his back was familiar, and thought Sorry where I saw it. "He lives with Liu Mingxuan?" Qu Siqi curled his lips: "Roommate." Bai Xiaozhou opened his notebook. These are Ye Buer's usual reading notes. He seems to like reading ancient notebook novels very much, and the records are all bizarre stories that happened in ancient times.At the end of the page, the names of Xiao Huai and Qing Yun appeared on the paper.

"I'm just investigating that rich businessman's family." Bai Xiaozhou said, "That rich businessman made his fortune twenty or thirty years ago, and the history of his fortune has always been a mystery. With this money, he started a medicine business. After several years, the business got better and bigger, and he started to devote himself to charity, and the two buildings in Jianjia Garden were one of them. But there were rumors, Said that their first pot of gold came from an unknown source and was not clean. Since their daughter disappeared, the wife has gone crazy and is still living in a mental hospital. The husband died of a heart attack after going bankrupt. Si Qi, what do you say Xiao Huai And Qingyun's disappearance, could it be related to this first pot of gold that came from a wrong path?"

"I don't know, right now I only care about Bu Er." Qu Siqi was so anxious that his eyes were on fire, and Bai Xiaozhou's eyes suddenly stared straight at his back.He turned his head, and it was a window at the end of the corridor, and the window was filled with fog. "It's already afternoon, why is there such a heavy fog?" "Si Qi, you, look." The fog dissipated slightly, revealing a building with a window just opposite. The corridor in the window was dark and deep, as if there was hell at the other end. "Xiaohuai..." Qu Siqi hadn't finished speaking when a figure suddenly appeared in front of the window.

"Buer!" Qu Siqi rushed to the window, but Ye Buer didn't seem to see him, looked around the window, turned around and ran to the depths of the corridor anxiously.Qu Siqi pushed open the window anxiously, wishing he could fly over here.A hand stretched out from behind and pressed his shoulder: "What are you doing?" "What are you talking about, of course you are going to save him." "You can't save him." Bai Xiaozhou pointed out, "Look." When Qu Siqi turned his head sideways again, the thick fog and the haunted building disappeared, as if they had never appeared before. The sun was still shining outside, and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant.

"How could it be?" Qu Siqi's eyes were as wide as copper bells, "It was obvious just now..." "That building doesn't belong to this world. We can see it, maybe because the two worlds will intersect at some point." Bai Xiaozhou didn't know if he was right, but he was just talking nonsense. "Then what should we do? We can't just watch Ye Buer die in the ghost building." Bai Xiaozhou was silent for a moment: "Since Ye Buer can go in, we will have a chance." Qu Siqi's facial features were wrinkled, and he said after a long time: "Go to the mental hospital to find the mother of the twins, maybe she knows something."

"Hey, what do you think they are doing?" There was a low voice of discussion behind them. "Isn't it martyrdom?" "What's the matter with you? This is the ground floor. You can't even break your feet when you jump out." Bai Xiaozhou's face was full of black lines: "Let's go quickly, otherwise we don't need to pay the travel expenses ourselves when we go to the mental hospital." Bai Xiaozhou didn't like hospitals, and he didn't like them since he was a child, so he only took the traditional Chinese medicine prescribed by his grandfather or mother when he had sores and illnesses since he was a child.Mom doesn't seem to like the doctor touching her. If the school has a physical examination, my mother never lets her participate, but never tells her why. But today she seemed to be able to understand. When she walked into the mental hospital, she saw a thick black mist covering the hospital, and sharp cries echoed in her ears. "The hospital is always entangled with the grievances of the living and the dead, and there will never be a time to stop." Qu Siqi said, "Are you okay? It seems that your complexion is very bad." "It's okay, I can control it." Bai Xiaozhou said silently in her heart. She remembered that when she was very young, her grandfather taught her to read and told her to memorize it. will disappear. Grandpa really didn't lie to her. When she opened her eyes again, the world was clear. "It's been more than twenty years, and you are the first to see her." The doctor pushed open the door of the ward, "Mrs. Lu, someone is here to see you." A woman was lying on the bed, wearing a straitjacket, like a piece of white wood, staring blankly at the ceiling. "She has serious suicidal tendencies. We have no choice but to tie her up." The doctor said, "It's rare for anyone to see her. Unfortunately, she doesn't know anyone anymore. Let's talk, I'll go see the patient first. " When the two came to the bed, Bai Xiaozhou bent down and called softly, "Mrs. Lu." Originally, the two had given up hope, but Mrs. Lu turned her head, and when she saw Bai Xiaozhou, her face changed: "Here you are, you are finally here." Bai Xiaozhou looked at Qu Siqi in surprise: "Mrs. Lu, do you know me?" "Retribution, retribution!" Madam Lu cried, "This is all the sins we committed back then. Someone warned us more than 20 years ago that our family would be ruined because of this, and my family would not get it even if they died An Ning. I asked him if there was any way to avoid the disaster, and he said it was cause and effect, and after more than twenty years, a young girl will come to end everything." Bai Xiaozhou frowned: "How do you know that I am that girl?" "I saw it." Madam Lu's eyes were wide open, and the pupils seemed to be gradually dilated, "I am a dying person, and a dying person can see many things. I know, you are her." Bai Xiaozhou thought that this was all her crazy talk, so it didn't matter if she didn't listen to it, but asked the real thing: "Mrs. Lu, can you tell us what happened that year?" Mrs. Lu turned her face sideways, and stared at the ceiling stupidly: "Sin, it's all a sin. We are in the medicinal material business, and the business was very poor before, and we couldn't even make ends meet. Once I went to the Collecting medicinal materials in the countryside, I met an old man by chance. He said that he saw a thousand-year-old ginseng somewhere in the mountains. After all the hardships, we finally found the ginseng tree. Excitedly, we dug up the soil, but found that the root of ginseng was connected to a coffin. The one inside must not be a benevolent person. Taking the dead ginseng away by force will lead to death. Although the dead ginseng is highly poisonous, it also has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. If you take it out, it will definitely sell for a good price. His father and I are fascinated by money If we don’t believe in evil, we must dig. The old man got angry and said that if we dared to dig, we should tell the villagers that we touched the dragon veins of the village. This ginseng tree happened to grow on the dragon veins. At that time, the villagers were still very superstitious. If we knew We are in the midst of the dragon's pulse, and we will not let us go. We gritted our teeth and did not stop, pushing the old man off the cliff, pretending to have fallen off the cliff. Then we dug out the ginseng and burned the coffin We were too timid to open the lid of the coffin to see what was inside, but when it was burning, we heard a terrible scream from inside, half like a man, half like a wild beast. We took the corpse ginseng home, Treat it according to the ancient book. After confirming that it is non-toxic, I cut it in half and sold it to a dying wealthy Hong Kong businessman. I got a lot of money. With this money, we were able to live a prosperous life. Later we met A fortune teller, he said that we have offended monsters and committed murder, and one day our family will be ruined, and even if we die, we will not be able to live in peace. We are very scared and do good deeds everywhere, just hoping to accumulate virtue, so that our two daughters can be safe But things backfired, and our retribution came. Qingyun was found to be suffering from uremia, and he would not live long. At that time, organ transplantation was just in its infancy. We knew a doctor who came back from abroad and knew the technique of organ transplantation. If you can find the kidney source, you can save Qingyun." At this point, she trembled all over and cried even harder. Bai Xiaozhou asked softly: "The only one who can save her is Xiaohuai, could it be..." Mrs. Lu choked up and said, "Xiaohuai doesn't want to. She said she wants to be a gymnast in the future. We don't want to lose these two children. His father and I have nothing to do." Qu Siqi suddenly understood the meaning of the pictures he saw, and they forcibly operated on the two girls. It was an unbearable memory, and Mrs. Lu did not elaborate: "We never thought that there would be complications caused by the operation, and Qingyun was fine, but Xiaohuai's remaining kidney was severely necrotic, so he could only lie in the hospital and wait. Die." After that, Madam Lu burst into tears, and the following words were almost drowned in her crying, "We have already sorry for Xiao Huai, we can't let her die like this, so, so we took the remaining half of the dead ginseng Feed her." Qu Siqi said anxiously: "Then why can you eat casually? Even if you want to eat it, you have to eat it with other medicinal materials." Bai Xiaozhou glanced at him, how could this kid know everything. "We don't know, we thought that as long as we ate that corpse ginseng, we could really bring the dead back to life." "What happened afterwards? Is Xiao Huai alive?" "She's alive. She was lying on the hospital bed and couldn't even speak. After eating ginseng, she was able to get out of bed the next day. However, the doctor checked her, and her condition did not improve at all." Mrs. Lu There was a trace of fear in the eyes, "We knew at that time that we did something wrong, Xiaohuai, she, she is no longer human." "Not human?" Bai Xiaozhou said in surprise, "What is that?" "We don't know. We made a mistake that day. We shouldn't have let Qingyun stay to take care of Xiaohuai. They're gone, all gone." Mrs. Lu shouted excitedly, "Xiaohuai has become a monster, she Kill Qingyun, she killed my Qingyun!" Bai Xiaozhou's brows furrowed deeper, and his eyes on Mrs. Lu also became complicated. Madam Lu screamed like a madman, like a lonely soul struggling endlessly in hell. The nurses rushed in to press her and gave her a sedative. Bai Xiaozhou watched the noisy scene in front of him quietly, and sighed: "The fortune teller is right. Their family is doomed to die and there will be no peace." "Xiaohuai Tower must have been set on fire by Lu Xiaohuai," Qu Siqi said. "That's not the point." Bai Xiaozhou rolled his eyes, "The point is how we can enter Xiaohuai Tower and rescue Bu Er." "There is only one way." Qu Siqi shrugged, "Sit back and wait." Bai Xiaozhou sighed helplessly, it seems that there is only one way now, but if it doesn't appear all the time, isn't Fuer very dangerous? It happened that Qin Zheming called and yelled into the microphone like a Frankenstein: "Come back soon, I found a way to enter Xiaohuailou." The two hurried back to the research institute and found that Qin Zheming was playing with an instrument, which was the size of a cabinet, like a large old TV set. "what is this?" "I borrowed it from a friend." Qin Zheming was very excited. "My friend likes to study fringe science. This machine is made by him. It is said that it can open a channel to another world." Qu Siqi and Bai Xiaozhou looked at each other, and they both saw the doubt in each other's eyes. "Don't believe me, you'll know after trying it." Qin Zheming vowed, but never mentioned the detailed identity of that friend.It wasn't until 11 o'clock in the evening that the lights in the campus were turned off, and they carried the instruments to Jianjia Garden.Because there is no dormitory in Jianjia Garden, it is very quiet at night.Qin Zheming asked the two to insert a few metal rods on the lawn where Xiaohuailou used to be, and adjust the equipment, just waiting for the fog to start. I thought we would wait until early morning, but the fog rose very early today. Qin Zheming told the two of them to step back, and then pressed the button on the instrument. Several metal rods started to be powered on, making a crackling sound and flashing lights , connected together, like a wire fence. Qu Siqi and Bai Xiaozhou opened their mouths wide, their faces full of disbelief. "Well, my friend is not lying. The principle of this instrument is to use electric current..." "Look!" Bai Xiaozhou pointed forward, right in the electric fence, Xiaohuailou grew out of the ground bit by bit.A window on the third floor suddenly lit up, and a figure walked past the window. "Is it Buer?" Qu Siqi didn't see the man's face clearly, and Qin Zheming said while adjusting the instrument: "This machine doesn't store much electricity, you'd better hurry up and bring Buer out." "Aren't you going together?" Bai Xiaozhou asked strangely, and Qu Siqi shook his head: "Forget it, he is a coward, and he never rushes into battle." "I'm a scientist, have you ever seen a scientist charge into battle?" Bai Xiaozhou said helplessly: "Okay, you try to make the machine last longer." "Why don't I go alone." Qu Siqi said, "You are still a newcomer, so I am a little worried." "Do you still remember what that fortune teller said?" Bai Xiaozhou said bravely, "I will end everything." Qu Siqi was still a little worried about what it meant to end everything, if it meant burning everything together... While he was thinking wildly, Bai Xiaozhou had already pushed open the door of Xiaohuai Tower. Like Qingyun Building, there is an oil painting hanging at the entrance, the difference is that only a girl is painted on it. Who is this girl?Bai Xiaozhou thought, is it Xiaohuai or Qingyun? "Hey, stop watching." Qu Siqi gave her a hand, "Time is limited." The long corridor was as dark and long as a large intestine. The two of them walked forward cautiously with the flashlights they had prepared. Bai Xiaozhou suddenly let out a low cry, which made her lean on Qu Siqi in fright: "Yes, there is someone." Qu Siqi only felt a cloud of elegant fragrance rushing into his arms, and his face flushed suddenly: "Uh, where is someone?" "Wall, wall." Bai Xiaozhou hid behind him, Qu Siqi shuddered in his heart, but he refused to show timidity in front of her. He waved his flashlight on the wall, and sure enough, he saw a human face, which scared him to the ground. Take a step back.When I got up and looked carefully, it was actually just a mass of black stains, but with all the features, it looked like a hideous human face. "Don't be afraid, it's just a stain." Qu Siqi comforted her, but she pointed to another wall in horror: "Look, there are also here." Qu Siqi's heart felt cold, and he took a flashlight around the surrounding walls, and this corridor was actually covered with faces of all kinds, big and small, like interlaced shadows. The screams suddenly began to ring in her ears, Bai Xiaozhou hugged her head, and the voices of thousands of people intertwined like bombs, almost deafening her.She felt that she was going crazy, so she screamed out with all her strength, but Qu Siqi supported her, but she could only watch her in pain, burning with anxiety. "Ah——" Bai Xiaozhou roared, her throat was about to burst, the voice finally disappeared, and she sat down weakly, as if all the strength in her body had been exhausted. "I heard a cry for help." Bai Xiaozhou said weakly, "These faces are all those who died because of Xiao Huailou. Their souls are imprisoned here, and they will never be reborn." "Hush—" Qu Siqi pricked up his ears, "Footsteps, someone is coming." After finishing speaking, he pushed open the door of a classroom next to him and hid inside with Bai Xiaozhou. The footsteps gradually approached, and the light of a flashlight lingered outside the door. Qu Siqi's heart rose to his throat, and he opened the door a crack, but saw a familiar face.
