Chapter 7 Chapter Six

jet lag. Previously, Xiao Nuo had such a preconceived impression that all the members of Canxing Building are in China.However, the fact does not seem to be the case. If Xiao Nuo and Ti Yunzong's conjectures are correct, Sheng Zhou is likely to be a Chinese living abroad. Shengzhou's last post was at 4:02 am on the 17th, and the ghost QQ killed the other three members at 12:00.The two time points coincide, that is to say, the time difference between the country where Shengzhou is located and China is four hours. Taking Greenwich Mean Time as the standard time, China is the East Eighth District, so the country where Shengzhou is located should be the East Twelfth District.Countries in this time zone include South Pacific island countries such as New Zealand, Fiji, and the Marshall Islands.Among these countries, the most likely place for Shengzhou to live is New Zealand, because it is a popular country for Chinese students to study and immigrate.

The next day, Thursday, June 29th, Xiao Nuo told Ma Ming of this conjecture, and Ma Ming said that he would go to the forum to investigate the IP address of Shengzhou, and he should be able to grasp its specific geographical location. At this time, the university is approaching the final exam. Both public and professional courses are troublesome things. Xiao Nuo has to put most of his energy on reviewing, so most of the investigations are handed over to Ma Ming, who is approaching the university this year. After graduating from four, there was no pressure from his studies, nor was he in a hurry to find a job, but he seemed like a wild crane, wandering around the library and Internet cafes all day long. (Add one sentence, hey, why don’t I want to, little brother?)

That night, Ma Ming called and said that the IP address had been confirmed, which was indeed good. The source was a town called HAMILTON on the North Island of New Zealand.But he can only confirm to this extent, and can't go any further. Recently, there has been a wave of going abroad. Many people have gone to New Zealand to study high school or university. There are also many immigrants. There are more than 50,000 international students alone. It is almost impossible to find a compatriot who has never known his real name among so many people. It is also equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack.

"Do you have any classmates or friends in New Zealand? You can ask them to help." On the phone, Ma Ming asked Xiao Nuo.Xiao Nuo frowned and replied: "Yes, there are, but she is in high school in South Island, not in HAMILTON." "As long as you're in New Zealand, it's more convenient than in China. Tell her to pay attention to the news related to the Chinese in HAMILTON on June 17 or 18 in New Zealand newspapers or on TV." "Why is it the 17th and 18th?" "You have to consider the delay. Generally, it will take a day for the news to be reported."

"OK." "It would be even better if we could find the local newspaper in HAMILTON." "Ask and see." Xiao Nuo used to have a high school classmate who transferred to a high school in New Zealand during her sophomore year. The two of them have a good relationship, so they keep in touch with each other through correspondence, and occasionally chat through QQ.This classmate successfully passed the IELTS test in September last year and entered the local university. Now, like Xiao Nuo, he is also a freshman.Xiao Nuo suddenly remembered that this friend of hers once mentioned in a letter that she went to the North Island to play during the winter vacation in July last year (July is winter in New Zealand) and stayed at the home of a netizen in HAMILTON. Maybe she can find this relationship help.

It must be too late to write an ordinary letter, so Xiao Nuo sent her an EMAIL, hoping that she could help to investigate this matter. After the email was sent, Xiao Nuo said hello to Ti Yunzong and immediately went offline because she had to spare energy to cope with the exam. It was noon when I took the Marxist-Leninist theory class the next day.The teacher marked the key points of the final exam on the top, and a group of students below recorded it devoutly.Most of them are listening to the Marxist-Leninist theory class so seriously for the first time this semester. Xiao Nuo held the red pen in his right hand, and flipped through the textbook with his left hand, listening to the teacher's words, gradually getting tired.

The position she made was by the window, the midday sun shone on her face, and she felt extraordinarily comfortable with the warmth. Slowly, her eyelids began to sink. After driving all night yesterday, the fatigue would all surface when her consciousness was blurred. out of the water.The pen fell to the ground with a "snap", and she fell asleep lying on the table... ... There was a lot of rain, a very cold wind, it was dark outside the window, and the raindrops hit the window glass, making a dull thumping sound.Xiao Nuo found herself in a room. She was very familiar with the furnishings and decorations of this room. This was her cousin Tang Jing's bedroom.The room was dark, with no lights, only the computer screen flashing white light, covering the room with a gloomy whiteness.

Xiao Nuo took a closer look and found that Tang Jing was sitting in front of the computer with her back facing her and surfing the Internet. The whole room could only hear the sound of typing. "Tang Jing?!" Xiao Nuo tentatively shouted, but the other party didn't respond. "Blues little rain cloud?!" Still no answer. "Shocked?!" The sound of typing suddenly stopped, Tang Jing stood up from the chair, and turned around slowly... It was a dead white face, so white that it frightened people, and the beautiful appearance was distorted into a look of extreme fear, and it was frozen in Tang Jing's eyes. face.Without saying a word, she walked towards Xiao Nuo step by step with this expression on her face, with blood still gurgling from her wrist.Xiao Nuo took a few steps back in fright. Before she could open her mouth to say anything, she heard the wind and rain outside suddenly intensify. The computer behind Tang Jing suddenly heard a "beep" sound, and the gray head was jumping in the friend list , It was indescribably weird, as if it was about to jump out of the screen.

Tang Jing's expression became more ferocious, her mouth slowly parted, her frightened eyes widened until their eyeballs protruded, and her two pale arms were bent at strange angles, stretching towards Xiao Nuo.Xiao Nuo turned to run away, but couldn't move an inch. The blood from Tang Jing's wrist had already covered the back of her feet.Seeing Tang Jing getting closer, Xiao Nuo felt an extremely uncomfortable breath of death coming towards her, and she cried out in fear... "what--!!" Xiao Nuo woke up with a start, and then found that she was still in the classroom, the afternoon sun was still warm, and the teacher and the whole class were looking at her in surprise.

"Hey, hello, are you okay?" Cao Fangrui next to her whispered at the corner of her clothes.Xiao Nuo hadn't recovered from that nightmare, her face was extremely pale, and she just nodded numbly when she heard Cao Fangrui's words. There was a lot of whispering in the classroom, the teacher had to knock on the blackboard to signal for silence, glanced at Xiao Nuo, and continued to talk about the key areas of the exam, but Xiao Nuo was completely in the mood to listen, she only felt that her heart was about to explode. After class, Cao Fangrui approached with concern and asked:

"What's wrong with you? You look so ugly." "No...it's nothing, it's just a nightmare." Xiao Nuo put the book back into the bag, and at the same time gave Cao Fangrui a forced smile. "real or fake?" "I didn't remember what the teacher said just now, show me the key points you drew." "Don't change the subject, what happened?" "It was indeed a nightmare, really. Maybe it was because I was too tired last night." Xiao Nuo declined Cao Fangrui's suggestion to accompany her home, and walked out of the school alone.For some reason, she didn't want to go home, so she walked to a nearby park alone.The park is very quiet, and the golden sunshine in early summer shines on the green space, making it indescribably peaceful and serene.Little Nuosuo lay on her back on the green field, smelling the fragrance of green grass, watching the clouds in the sky cast shadows on her face, and the breeze with pine fragrance blowing through the nearby pine forest, gently blowing the hair on her forehead When I wake up, I feel very refreshed, and the terrible dream just now seems to have faded a bit because of it. Half a month has passed since Tang Jing's death.During the past two weeks, Xiao Nuo has been in the midst of sadness, confusion, anxiety, and the boredom of wanting the truth but not being able to get it. Although she has made small achievements occasionally, she still feels confused and uneasy due to confusion.She also asked herself, what is the meaning of doing this? Is it a stubborn desire for the truth or a duty to Tang Jing?Xiao Nuo herself can't explain clearly, she is also hesitant and confused, but under her weak and slender appearance, there is a personality that grows stronger with strength, and that nightmare will only make her more determined. No matter what that dream foretells, I will not give up. When the clouds were blown away by the wind, the sun once again enveloped Xiao Nuo, she narrowed her eyes and made up her mind. When Xiao Nuo returned home, she found that her friend in New Zealand had replied to the letter, saying that she had asked her friend in HAMILTON, North Island, to check, and the results would be sent directly to her mailbox. That friend's friend was very enthusiastic, and the email was sent to Xiaonuo's mailbox around 9:00 p.m.: From: LEINHARDT Recipient: beilial CC: Date: Fri, 29June2001 18:54:56+0800 Subject: Reply about entrustment Reply all according to the attachment Forward according to the text Delete the previous one and return the next one Hello: Regarding the investigation you entrusted, I have checked the local newspapers on the 17th and 10th. There are three reports related to the Chinese: 1. A Chinese restaurant called "Great Wall" opened on June 17th. 2. NAOTIONALBANK provides Chinese business services for Chinese. 3. Due to the recent increase in car accidents, the police reminded Chinese students to pay attention to driving safety. But there is another news, I don't know if it is useful to you.On June 20th, the church of WAIKATO University where I belonged held a funeral for a Chinese student studying abroad.It is said that the international student came from mainland China, and unfortunately died of electric shock while using a computer at home on the 17th.According to friends in the church, the foreign student’s English name is DENNIS, and his Chinese name is ShengzhouLuo in pinyin. > Sina ** E-mail http://mail.sina.com.cn) >Sina second-hand market: one yuan investment, very pleasantly surprised, 100% satisfied http://classad.sina.com.cn/2shou/) > Tens of thousands of cell phone pictures and tens of thousands of SMS ringtones for you to choose, updated every day (http://sms.sina.com.cn/cgi-bin/sms/smspic.cgi) (Add one more sentence: Well-intentioned authors don’t want to be so detailed, it’s as if it’s real, hehe) Shengzhou Luo? ! Shengzhou Luo? ! It is absolutely free to choose a name on the Internet, so some people will choose some wild names, but some people just use their real names.Jinghong, Liuli, and Ming are all names of the first type, while Shengzhou may belong to the second type. If this Luo Shengzhou was Shengzhou, then out of the five people in the Remnant Star Building, four of them died on the same day! "There is no doubt that the mysterious ghost QQ has a great relationship with Canxing Building." Xiao Nuo said with certainty that the person opposite her was holding the straw in the Coke cup, noncommittal. Today is June 30th, Saturday.Xiao Nuo and Ma Ming made an appointment to meet at a KFC. There was no particular reason, but she remembered that she hadn't eaten KFC for a long time. "It's getting weirder and weirder, this thing." Ma Ming's tone couldn't tell if he was excited or confused. "The whereabouts of Zishan is still unknown." Xiao Nuo's eyes were shining, and she felt that she had touched the handle of the door.Ma Ming thought for a while, took out a piece of paper and a pen, spread it on the table, and began to write: At the beginning of April, Canxing Building was established with six members. On April 12th, Ti Yun left. On April X (unsure), it was uploaded on the Canxinglou homepage. (A certain day later, the memorabilia column "Tongjian" was damaged) On April 29th, Jinghong began to write the Canxinglou novel. On May 1st, Liuli and Jinghong got together.The other participants are unknown. On May 10, Jinghong stopped writing novels.unknown reason. On May 10, Zishan's posts were all deleted for unknown reasons. From 11:50 midnight on June 16 to 05:00 on June 17, Jinghong, Liuli, Ming, and Shengzhou were confirmed dead.Two committed suicide, one Note: The last time Shengzhou posted on the forum was at 0:02 on the 17th, China time. In the sentence, there is "everyone vote, be careful with knowledge". It is impossible to confirm whether "knowledge" is a mistake of "Zishan" or a The mistake of "suicide". After writing here, Ma Ming stopped writing, picked up the paper and handed it to Xiao Nuo. "It's much clearer to list it this way... Can you see anything?" Xiao Nuo took the paper, looked at it carefully, and finally raised his head and asked suspiciously: "It seems... something happened between Zishan and other people." "Well, I agree. Judging from this timetable, something serious must have happened between them." When Ma Ming said this, he couldn't help scratching his head in frustration, "Ah, ah, maybe it's mentioned in the memorabilia on the front page, but it's a pity... It would be great if Shengzhou uploaded the repaired page in time." Seeing the funny expression of him scratching his head, Xiao Nuo couldn't help giggling, then remembered to pay attention to the image of a lady, and quickly covered his mouth.Ma Ming squinted and "hummed", but didn't say anything. (add one sentence: eh) "...Um...Senior, what shall we do now?" "The most important thing now is to find Zishan's whereabouts, find him, then it is possible to find the truth." Xiao Nuo nodded, suddenly recalling that nightmare, she hesitated for a while, and told Ma Ming about the dream. After Ma Ming listened, he smiled and said: "Sounds scary, you're thinking too much." "Hmph, that means I'm just imagining it?!" Xiao Nuo pouted. "Don't you dare? I mean, as long as your heart is firm and your mind is one, there is nothing to be afraid of. There is a saying in the Heart Sutra: There is no hindrance in the heart, so there is no fear, and you are far away from upside-down dreams. This is exactly the truth. If you have time, read the Buddhist scriptures." Bar." Holding a paper cup and mashed potatoes in his hand, Ma Ming said with a mature face. "Really! You really speak like that Tang Monk in the big talk!" Xiao Nuo said so, and his heart was indeed relieved a lot. Those few words of the Heart Sutra are quite reassuring. "By the way, senior, you are about to graduate, how is your job search going?" "Why did you bring up this topic all of a sudden?" "Want to know..." "At present, there is no job worth selling my noble soul, it doesn't matter, emptiness is form, form is emptiness, right...cough..." The tone of Ma Ming's answer was decisive, but his tone was obviously lacking. (add one sentence: huh)
