Chapter 117 Cannon Fodder Writer (14)
Mirror?
When Liu Rong was asked this question, she felt a little nervous for a moment.
Just now, because I was worried about Sui Yu, I didn't pay much attention to this thing in the room, but now that Chen Yufan mentioned it, I think about it carefully...
In the dim room, the light was focused only on the mirror placed at the end of the bed.
As long as there is someone lying on the bed, every move, even a frown or a soft hum can be completely captured in the camera, and everything can be seen and heard.
The atmosphere of horror was unconsciously filled with a touch of intimacy and inexplicable ambiguity.
Three years ago, Meng Shengyun died while living in this room. Could it be... ?
As the guess flashed through their minds, Liu Rong and Chen Yufan saw Xie Feiqing slowly walking up the stairs.
The stern-faced man was unusually gentle and asked them about Sui Yu's current situation.
"I'm fine. Sui Sui isn't feeling sick and hasn't vomited, but..."
Chen Yufan looked hesitant, and intuitively felt that Xie Feiqing in front of him would be able to solve this matter, but it seemed a bit inappropriate to casually talk about the privacy of Sui Yu's room in front of outsiders.
Especially since this person is secretly in love with... no, it should be said that he is openly in love with Sui Yu's pursuer.
Liu Rong didn't think so deeply. She looked at Xie Feiqing with some suspicion and saw that he was still as gentle and refined as ever.
Even though his temperament is very cold, he still makes people feel inexplicably convinced, as if he can solve all problems.
He was also the first one to discover that Meng Shengyun was missing.
He was the one who took the statements and recorded the confessions... As long as it was about that matter, he was the one who walked in front and helped to deal with it.
When all the classmates attending the party were in panic, he was the only one who took the lead.
It can be said that Xie Feiqing is the person who knows the whole story of what happened three years ago best.
He was the most suspicious, but in the end he was the one who got away with the cleanest thing.
Either it is really clean, or it is just pretending to be clean for everyone to see.
"There seems to be something unclean in Suisui's room. That big mirror facing the end of the bed..."
After hearing what Liu Rong said, Xie Feiqing looked a little surprised, but his expression was mostly calm. "Is there anything bad about having a mirror facing the bed?"
"Um... maybe it's a bit superstitious, but what this means is that there is a high possibility of... seeing unclean things." Chen Yufan didn't expect Xie Feiqing didn't even know this, and made a difficult explanation.
But if you think about it carefully, it doesn’t seem difficult to imagine.
In college, apart from having excellent grades, Xie Feiqing basically did not participate in various parties and activities organized by his classmates.
Apart from studying, life is boring. I am only willing to visit once in a while if it is related to Sui Yu.
It doesn't seem surprising that he doesn't know these folk customs.
Xie Feiqing's eyes were filled with anxiety. "I've always heard people say there are legends in this ancient castle. When Meng Shengyun... I thought it was just an accident."
"If it's true as you say, will Sui Sui be in danger?"
As Xie Feiqing asked, he was about to go in. During the conversation, the drunk Gu Jing also staggered up the stairs, holding on to the wall.
"Is Suisui in danger? Oh my god..." The drunkard's tone was light and it sounded like it was the most dangerous at this moment.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't fall..." Chen Yufan and Liu Rong took a while to support him and put him against the wall for him to lean against.
Xie Feiqing twisted his fingertips imperceptibly, and the lights in the corridor suddenly began to flicker, on and off, which was very scary.
Liu Rong was a bit braver and wasn't that frightened, but Chen Yufan was clearly terrified. He clung to Liu Rong's arm tightly, his voice trembling and sobbing as he cried, "How about we go?"
"It seems we can't leave." This proposal was rejected by Xie Feiqing.
The two looked in his direction. Most of Xie Feiqing's figure was illuminated by the light and shadow, and the small part hidden in the dark could not be seen clearly.
“Once the game starts, it cannot be stopped.”
"This is the rule."
A light voice fell in my ears, mixed with a strange accent.
Liu Rong could easily guess that this sentence was the introduction to the game "Truth or Dare".
——Once the game starts, it cannot be stopped.
——You can’t lie, you can’t go against the requests made, and you can’t leave this castle.
——Now... let’s begin.
The wooden chessboard with intricate patterns painted on it and the brushes spinning on it were all placed on the small table in the living room when they first arrived at the castle.
If no one among them had come to sort it out in advance, then... how could a new thing that had never appeared before be created?
After all, three years ago, the game of Truth or Dare they played was just played with wine bottles.
This time... it was like a prop was specially prepared for them to start.
As if he had thought of something, Chen Yufan was almost scared to death by himself.
Just as she was thinking this, the lights in the corridor flickered twice and went out completely.
The corridor fell into darkness.
She almost had to cover her mouth to suppress the screams of fear. Chen Yufan was hugged by Liu Rong, and was shaking with fear all over.
The fishy smell of the water is getting stronger and stronger.
The people standing in the corridor seemed to feel as if something salty and fishy was stuffed in their throats, stuck in their throats, unable to swallow or pull it out, and their breathing became gradually rapid.
Chen Yufan was protected by Liu Rong behind her, leaning against the wall, which should be a very safe posture.
But... the cold air on the back of her neck was getting stronger and stronger. Logically speaking, there was no wind source behind her, and this cold air couldn't be caused by her being too scared.
She didn't even dare to turn her head. In an instant, all the vulgar words about someone calling her name deliberately and asking her to look back, and the three clusters of soul fire on her shoulders being extinguished, all emerged in her mind.
"Chen Yufan."
From behind her, a voice called out her name slowly and clearly, as if whispering in her ear.
Liu Rong, who was protecting Chen Yufan with one hand, had water droplets on her hand and her fingertips were numb from the cold.
After hearing the voice calling out Chen Yufan's name, he hurriedly called out the familiar name: "Meng Shengyun, Senior Meng, is that you?"
The moment the name was called, the lights in the corridor went from being completely off to flickering. From the perspective of Liu Rong and Chen Yufan, a figure was standing next to Gu Jing who was leaning against the wall.
The lights flickered too fast to be seen clearly, but it was this hazy atmosphere that was the most terrifying and had the most room for imagination.
"It's...it's Senior Meng, it's really him." Chen Yufan was scared to death and almost cried.
Not to mention that Meng Shengyun doesn't look like he's going to have a good ending now. It's obvious...it's obvious that he's come back to seek revenge!
The figure standing upright at the entrance of the corridor suddenly raised his head, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes, "I hate it so much..."
The eerie and terrifying tone, the resentment of an unjust death...
Chen Yufan screamed and the lights came on.
"Is he gone?" A white light appeared in his closed eyes. Chen Yufan felt the light on and dared to ask the question tremblingly.
Liu Rong looked unhappy and dazed. "So... Senior Meng didn't commit suicide, right? He wants us to seek justice for him?"
Xie Feiqing's hands moved slightly behind his back, and he took the black smoke back into his palm. He also said seriously, "This situation should be very clear. We... I'm afraid we can't get away."
"I can't leave," Liu Rong said firmly. "Senior Meng was such a good man. He died unjustly. Knowing the truth, if I run away, I'll be unworthy of the support he gave me."
When she first started college, something happened at home and she was in urgent need of money.
But she had no ability to make money and was just a college student. She was almost going astray.
It was Meng Shengyun, who was the president of the student union at the time, who accidentally learned about the situation from the application form she submitted and took the initiative to connect her with a charity foundation, giving her the opportunity to obtain funding and help her get through the most difficult days.
Although for him it may be just a small thing that he can do, and he has never asked for any reward, but this small act of kindness is a life-saving favor to Liu Rong.
She continued to join the student union and became better step by step, but finally, when she was about to graduate, she learned of Meng Shengyun's death.
His girlfriend disappeared, and his former best friends did not speak out for him. They seemed to assume that he committed suicide and agreed with the police's conclusion of the case.
Having already compromised once, Liu Rong would never again be that ungrateful person after seeing Meng Shengyun's ghost with her own eyes and knowing that he died in unclear circumstances.
Chen Yufan knew everything about her. Although she was very scared, after seeing what had just happened, she probably couldn't leave even if she wanted to.
So the few people here didn't say anything more, but they didn't tell other students about what had just happened on the third floor.
The first is to avoid causing panic. No one can get out anyway. If someone moves around or runs around, everyone will be in danger.
Second,… even if it didn’t need to be said, it seemed like this matter was about to be seen by everyone.
Early the next morning.
Wang Qi looked at the white paper flowers scattered on the ground, feeling extremely distressed. "Who threw away the paper flowers I worked so hard on for so long? They look so wilted now."
The white flowers on the other side of the river, which were originally tied into bunches and looked like a sea of snow-white flowers from a distance, now fell to the ground and were stepped on again and again.
Mud and water mixed with blood-red color fell on the ground. Not only was it desolate, but there was also an inexplicable sense of horror.
Sui Yu rubbed her brows, trying to recover from the dizziness she felt from last night's drunkenness, and walked down from the third floor. Upon hearing this, her eyebrows twitched, and she walked closer to take a look.
Before his shoes touched the ground, someone grabbed his waist and lifted him up, walking towards the living room.
"Xie Feiqing, you..." Sui Yu was afraid of falling, so she put her little hands on his shoulders and grabbed his collar nervously.
Xie Feiqing didn't pay attention to this little action, his expression was calm, "There's blood on the ground, it's dirty."
As he said that, he placed Sui Yu on the sofa in the living room, stepped back a little, and raised the sole of his shoe to indicate, "Look, it's dirty."
I didn't notice it just now because I was far away, but now that I'm so close, I can clearly see bright red mixed in the yellow mud on the black soles of my shoes.
"What kind of blood is this?"
