The Exorcist

Chapter 23 Strange things on campus (Part 2)

The girl's name was Xiaoling, and her death occurred two weeks later.

At that time, she suffered a very serious psychological blow because she witnessed the corpse floating from the middle of the lake. In addition, the police investigated the situation from her, and some nosy classmates kept asking her for details, which made her brave. She almost had a nervous breakdown as a child.

Xiaoling used to have the problem of occasionally talking in her sleep. At first, the classmates who lived in the same dormitory with her were very uncomfortable. Some classmates often asked not to share the same dormitory with her. You must know that dream talking is different from normal speech. The sound and enunciation are rather vague, unlike what we see in movies and TV, where people can hear clearly at will.

But talking in sleep is, after all, a reflection of a real dream, so although the words spoken are vague, the tone is emotional. In this case, imagine if someone who didn't know the inside story woke up in the middle of the night and heard someone in the dark room making strange syllables in various tones. Everyone would feel terrible and think that something dirty had come into the dormitory.

When this floating corpse incident happened, Xiaoling was already in her senior year. Logically speaking, the people in her dormitory had already been tempered and would no longer make a fuss about her little problem. However, one night a week later, the other seven classmates finally Unable to tolerate her behavior in her sleep, no one dared to sleep in the same room with her, but they all crowded into other girls' dormitories.

But on the other hand, they all believed that this was caused by Xiaoling being frightened, and it was just a temporary mental illness that would slowly get better over time. We have lived together for four years and have a very good relationship with each other. They are afraid that the matter will be spread out and it will be detrimental to Xiaoling, but they cannot bear to irritate her anymore, so they always leave quietly after Xiaoling falls asleep without reporting it to the teacher. . Because two girls crowded into Nana's dormitory, I learned about her situation.

What frightened those seven girls was that the way Xiaoling talked in her sleep completely changed!

That night, perhaps due to fatigue and fright, Xiaoling went to bed early, but the other girls in the same dormitory couldn't fall asleep, but no one spoke. Except for the occasional turning sound, the whole room was silent.

Around one or two in the morning, everyone finally fell asleep, but at this moment, a chuckle suddenly came from the dormitory. This laugh was very small, but it woke everyone up, and everyone felt that the sound came from their own ears!

The feeling is indescribable. It's like being suddenly awakened by something terrible while sleeping deeply. A string in your head suddenly snaps. It makes people instinctively feel dangerous. Suddenly they wake up at the same time. All the hairs on the hair stood on end!

Then, the classmate on the bed opposite Xiaoling saw her sit up straight and slowly. She didn't sit up quickly, but very slowly, just like the movable bed in the hospital that can swing the front end. She slowly raised her upper body until she sat upright. The sheet covering my body slowly fell down, and it felt like a snake was shedding its skin!

Then she started talking in her sleep.

Usually when she talks in her sleep, she just lies on the bed and mumbles a few words, but this time, she not only sat up, but also talked for almost five minutes. The most terrifying thing is that her tone and voice are in two states. Although she still can't hear clearly what she is saying, it feels like a man and a woman are having a conversation!

"Don't pull me!" This was the only word that could be heard clearly.

The girls who sleep opposite Xiaoling are usually naughty. One time, when Xiaoling was talking in her sleep, several girls played a prank on her. They squatted next to her and carefully discerned what she said. When they realized that she was confessing her love to her sweetheart in her dream, this naughty girl A girl once asked, "Who do you like?" Xiaoling replied that it was Wanli. Several girls covered their mouths and snickered on the spot. Not only did they know who Xiaoling had a crush on, but they also understood that some people were talking in their sleep. will respond to external verbal stimulation.

I don’t know what motivated her, but when the girl saw Xiaoling’s weird look, she couldn’t help but ask again, “Who are you talking to?”

"Mind your own business!" This time, Xiaoling yelled, her voice low and thick. Although it was her voice, she seemed to be imitating a man.

And she shouted so loudly that all the girls were frightened. The girl who was near the light switch immediately turned on the light. When the dazzling light came on, Xiaoling suddenly collapsed and continued to sleep.

The girls looked at each other and said nothing, but the uneasiness spread in the dormitory. Finally, the naughty girl said, "She was probably too frightened and had a nightmare!"

Everyone else nodded in agreement after hearing this, not sure whether they really thought so, or were just trying to find a reasonable explanation to justify the vague fear in their hearts. Fortunately, in the second half of the night, Xiaoling stopped talking in her sleep, and the seven girls in the same dormitory gradually accepted the speculation about the nightmare.

However, the situation continued the next night, and on the third day, without interruption for a week. Sleeping conditions that used to occur only occasionally are now repeated every day and are becoming more and more serious.

At first, she just sat up, but then she began to sleepwalk, walking around the room, saying incomprehensible words. What makes people break out in a cold sweat is that although they still don't understand what she said, they can tell that the number of people talking to her in her dreams is not just one person, but the number of people talking in her dreams is increasing day by day, and the time of sleep talking is also lengthening, and by the seventh day By this time, the people in the same dormitory had already felt that there was a whole room of people talking lively!

What a terrible scene it was. In the dark dormitory, when everyone was asleep, a girl walked around the room with a dull look on her face. Sometimes she would stay in front of someone's bed for a while, and various sounds came from the corner. A voice with a tone of voice!

Another girl even discovered that as long as someone made even a little noise at this time, Xiaoling would immediately turn her head and stare at the person who made the noise with her dull eyes, which made people shudder!

But after dawn, when everyone asked Xiaoling insinuatingly, she knew nothing about what happened at night! And during the day, she was so normal, so docile and cute, that no one had the heart to tell her about her terrible sleepwalking, for fear that she would be stimulated again.

Is it possessed by an evil spirit or harassed by wandering spirits in the middle of the night? Everyone has this question in their mind, but no one dares to say it, so they can only hide.

A week passed like this, and they would sneak away together as soon as Xiaoling fell asleep, and then sneak back again in the morning. Xiaoling always stays in bed, and sleepwalking may consume more energy, so she didn't notice it. But other girls found that Xiaoling's sleepwalking became more serious. They would hear all kinds of strange noises in the adjacent dormitory, as if there were many people gathering there.

On the last day, someone heard the door of the dormitory open, and a very regular sound of footsteps spread from the dormitory to the stairs, and then disappeared. Xiaoling also disappeared at the same time. A day later, she was found floating on the lake. After she was fished out, the police had not arrived yet, so they had to park her body by the lake with a narrow sheet covering it. Canvas, her classmates could only see her pale feet exposed at this time!

Two accidents happened in a row, so the school decided to add a guardrail on the edge of the small lake, but the third person who drowned happened to be a migrant worker who came to repair the guardrail.

On the way from the school's main teaching buildings to the cafeteria, the closest path is through the woods and the lake. So even though two people were drowned not long ago, there were still many people walking this way. Firstly, it was broad daylight, secondly, many students were walking together, and thirdly, most students believed that the two deaths were really just accidents and not supernatural events.

I had the same thought at the time, so I still went to the cafeteria with Nana via this road. Although Nana was actually a little scared because of Xiaoling's incident, she felt at ease with me by her side.

That day, just as we turned through the woods and walked to the path by the lake, we heard an exclamation from ahead. I quickly ran over to take a look and saw migrant workers on the shore shouting at the lake. There was a splash of water in the lake. I couldn't count how many people were in the water. Later I learned that some migrant workers were working at the time and suddenly found several hundred-dollar bills floating on the water. I don’t know who dropped them. So they sent two companions with better water skills to go fishing. Unexpectedly, when the two people reached the center of the lake, their hands and feet cramped, and they drowned at the same time after shouting twice to their companions on the shore.

When the companions on the shore saw this situation, they quickly asked people to fish it out. The strange thing was that five or six people went down and they were about to catch the drowning person, but they couldn't reach it. This suddenly reminded me of what happened when I was traveling in the mountains and forests, so I jumped into the lake to save people regardless of the danger.

I knew that to save the drowning people, I had to go behind them, otherwise I would be dragged to death by the drowning people who had lost their minds and desperately wanted to survive, so I swam desperately behind them, and finally I managed to catch the drowning person. What others have been unable to touch, I suddenly touched.

I dragged him back to swim, but I felt that his body was extremely heavy, which made me swim reluctantly. And I have always liked sports. I used to be a good swimmer, but now my hands and feet feel stiff, and even paddling is extremely difficult. Halfway through the swim, my arm suddenly sank, and the drowning man who had been caught slipped out of my hand again.

I was so anxious that I dived into the water, but I didn’t expect that the drowning man kept dangling around in the water, like a loach, and was impossible to catch. When I came up to the surface to take a breath, and then dived again, I suddenly found that he didn’t know where he was. Shi turned around and stared at me with wide, hateful eyes. I didn't expect that the person whose eyes had been closed would suddenly open them. I was so scared that I almost choked, but the person stretched out his hand, hugged me tightly, and dragged me deeper into the water.

I don’t know why he hates me, and I don’t know if he has a survival instinct. It’s just that he is as heavy as a big stone at the moment. No matter how hard I struggle, I can’t get rid of him. I can only sink slowly with him. .

At that time I thought I might die here, but at this moment I strangely heard Nana crying on the shore. Are others like this? I still can’t figure out whether it was an illusion or reality, but I could actually hear Nana’s voice under the water, among the noisy sounds on the shore, as clear as if she was calling in my ear.

This gave me endless courage and strength, and I struggled hard just before giving up. I don't know why, but this struggle made me feel hot all over. I broke free after a few attempts and tried my best to float to the surface. For a moment, I saw his face, so unwilling and hateful, it was so baffling to me!

Did I know him before? He looked as if I had killed his father and taken away his wife and children, but I swear this was the first time I saw this migrant worker.

But no matter what, I lived and he died. And when I tried to save this migrant worker, others rescued another drowning person who had never been caught, so the lake was unable to swallow up the fourth life.

I had witnessed supernatural events, so I felt that there was some secret in the lake that I didn't know about, so I asked Azhan to take a look, but at the time, his power was still sealed, so I couldn't find anything. So even if there were no more accidents after the fence was built, I would never let Nana walk through the lakeside woods alone to the chapel, and insisted on picking her up every day.

At this time, an uninvited guest came, namely Bao Datong.

He had been staying with his father and had never gone to college, so he was very new to all this. He wanted to "experience" college life on a whim, so he came to our school without even saying hello. Because their father and son had rescued us not long ago, A Zhan and I couldn't drive him away even though we didn't want to. It happened that one of my roommates was off school due to illness during those days, so he moved in without hesitation.

He is thick-skinned, familiar, and has a natural affinity, so he quickly gets involved with the people around him. No matter the dormitory administrator, classmates, or teachers, everyone likes him, especially the girls, who all find him interesting. , cute, as long as he wanders around the school, there will always be many girls around him. He and Nana were also old acquaintances, of course they were more familiar with each other, so he was the only one who watched the rehearsal in the small auditorium every night.

When he wanted to go to the auditorium, of course he had to pass by the grove and the lake. Every time he went there, he wandered around for a long time. I asked him what he wanted to do, and he said that the feng shui of that forest was not good. It blocked the entry of Yang Qi from the entrance of the school, and blocked the leakage of Yin Qi that had accumulated here for many years. As a result, the Yin and Yang here were not in harmony, and something would happen over time. .

I told him that there had been several accidents here, and it was impossible for the school to listen to the idealistic lies of this little bastard, and it would definitely not destroy this green belt. When he heard this, he suggested that we simply burn the woods in the middle of the night.

His skills were not very strong at that time, so I was already dubious about him, so how could I possibly agree to his suggestion. But he said there was resentment in the lake, and he would not leave here until he solved the mystery. And he discovered that Nana and I both have dark energy hidden in our eyebrows, so we will definitely be in trouble!

big trouble!
