Nightmare Attack

"I keep saying you are waiting for me, be calm, don't be impulsive, etc. If there is anything else you can't do alone, I can help you, you must believe me." The senior sister behaved like this Very nervous, Jiang Cheng understood that she was imitating Professor Chen's state at that time.

"It's Yuan Xiaoyi calling." Jiang Cheng said.

The senior sister nodded and said in a low voice: "I heard it at the time. Her voice was loud and harsh. There seemed to be something wrong with her state. She seemed very excited. It was completely different from the feeling she gave me before. "

"She was in a panic state before and didn't like to interact with others. Teachers and classmates were the same as everyone else. She was timid. Even if someone spoke louder, she would be scared and tremble all over." The senior sister was worried that Jiang Cheng would not understand, so she explained in detail.

"I saw the professor's mood swings were so severe that he forgot his scarf and kept walking out. I picked up the scarf and chased after him."

The senior paused for a few seconds, then continued: "Sending a scarf is one thing, and another is that I'm worried about the professor and want to ask him if he needs help."

"The professor was very busy at that time, and I always feel that since the professor came into contact with Yuan Xiaoyi, his whole person has changed and become very strange. It seems that he is focused on her illness and many things in life and work. , he no longer cares about it and needs others to help him.”

Jiang Cheng breathed out and looked at her with the look of "senior sister, you are so kind". It seems that senior sister has helped Professor Chen a lot in these aspects.

This also explains why she knows so much about Professor Chen and Yuan Xiaoyi. She is like Professor Chen's assistant.

"But after Professor Chen took the scarf, he said he wanted me to stay and he was going to find Yuan Xiaoyi."

"He also told me that if anyone comes to see him or calls the office, let me write it down and wait until he comes tomorrow to talk about it."

"Then he hurriedly put on his scarf and walked out of the office."

The senior sister continued to recall, "But as soon as I sat back down in my seat, I heard a sound coming from the corridor outside. It was a continuous collision sound, very deep and muffled."

"I heard something was wrong, so I hurriedly ran out to take a look. I found out that it was the professor who had rolled down the stairs. He passed out at that time. There was blood on his head and on the ground."

"Professor Chen was going to find Yuan Xiaoyi, but he fell down the stairs on the way." Things were basically as Jiang Cheng expected.

"That's it." The senior took a deep breath, looked at Jiang Cheng and said, "It's the stairs you came up just now."

Jiang Cheng had an impression of that section of stairs. They were very orderly and there was no reason for such an accident to happen.

Just when Jiang Cheng was about to make further confirmation, the senior sister accidentally mentioned a detail that attracted Jiang Cheng's attention, "Because the professor is old and had surgery on his legs a few years ago, he is very careful when going up and down stairs. But this time I don’t know who spilled water on the steps.

"The professor slipped because he stepped on water." When the senior sister said this, there was a hint of anger on her face.

But Jiang Cheng understood that this was definitely the fault of the Heart-Eating Demon. Every time it passed by, it would leave water stains, which almost became its symbol.

"That's right." The senior sister seemed to have suddenly thought of something and looked at Jiang Cheng with strange eyes. "At that time, I picked up the professor's cell phone on the ground. It was dropped so hard that the casing was cracked. It was at the corner of the stairs. in the corner."

Jiang Cheng looked at her without interrupting, knowing that there must be more behind her.

Sure enough, the senior lowered her voice and continued: "As soon as I picked up the phone, the screen suddenly lit up. There was a text message on it, and the sender was Yuan Xiaoyi."

"She said she had a solution. She finally knew how to get rid of that person. One of her five friends told her."

"She also asked the professor not to disturb her. He said that this time, she is sure to get rid of the person who is following them."

"I didn't think much about it at the time. I just sent the professor to the hospital. But I heard the next day that Yuan Xiaoyi was found passed out in front of the warehouse."

"Some of the photos here were taken by people from the school security office at that time."

"They also found evidence at the scene that Yuan Xiaoyi smashed things. The mirror on the wall was smashed by Yuan Xiaoyi, and she also brought the mirror."

Jiang Cheng nodded. What the senior said was very close to what he thought. The school was worried that the matter would get bigger, so they asked people to take photos of the scene, keep evidence, and then clean up the scene.

This is also consistent with the behavior of people from the security office after they discovered Gao Yan.

Taking the time to glance at the time, Jiang Cheng still thought about Yuan Xiaoyi, so he hurriedly comforted his senior sister and found a reason to leave.

On the way to the grove, Jiang Cheng integrated in his mind the information he got today, from the library and what his senior said just now. Gradually, a clearer clue emerged.

The entire mission was presented to Jiang Cheng in the form of a scroll for the first time.

First of all, it can be confirmed that the five missing friends of Yuan Xiaoyi do not exist in the real world. They are the remaining five personalities derived from her main personality after suffering some kind of strong stimulation, which is often called split personality. .

Secondly, the identity of the stalking ghost that followed them and hunted the girls during the mission has also been determined. Foreign exorcists call it the Heart-Eating Demon.

In fact, he is just a Western ghost.

Although I have never seen its true appearance, it is most likely related to water.

Moreover, Jiang Cheng noticed that both Curator Zhou and Professor Chen mentioned by the senior students mentioned a very important point——

This heart-eating demon seems to be able to move only at night.

Finally, what happened in the warehouse on the night of Professor Chen’s accident?

From the current point of view, the purpose of hurting Professor Chen is to prevent him from rushing to find Yuan Xiaoyi.

Judging from the outcome of the incident, Yuan Xiaoyi performed some kind of ritual in the warehouse that night, just like the former foreign exorcists.

In the text message Yuan Xiaoyi sent to Professor Chen, she mentioned that she had found a way to completely get rid of the heart-eating demon.

This method was told to her by one of her five friends.

Combining the library and the notebook, it is not difficult to guess that this so-called friend is Xiaohui, one of the five personalities.

The characteristic of this personality is that he loves to stay in the library and read a lot of books.

Jiang Cheng pushed it downward based on this. It should be by chance that the book that was supposed to be destroyed was collected and numbered by the library, and finally borrowed by Xiaohui.

The book contains information about the Heart-Eating Demon and how to deal with it.

So that night, Yuan Xiaoyi, who represented the main personality, and the other five personalities "gathered" in the warehouse of the activity center.

Arrange and hold the ceremony according to the book, intending to completely get rid of the entanglement of the heart-eating demon.
