there is someone behind me

In Zhou Ling's memory, what his master taught him since he was a child is to "put the most importance on the common people in the world", to keep the righteousness and eliminate evil, to balance the Yin and Yang of the world, and to keep the world peaceful.But Zixiao Mountain seems to be isolated from the world, except for the same family, there is not even half a person, so where can we go to punish evil and promote good?Not to mention the peace of the world.Zhou Ling always thought that it was the Zongmen's name of Zixiao Mountain, and its function was to shout, until he went down the mountain and met all kinds of people and encountered things that he had never encountered before.

Take his classmates as an example, some people hate him for one reason or another, but more people are friendly. They gather in one class from all over the world, from being completely strangers to knowing each other. People will rise from acquaintance to familiarity, and they will converge into points in each other's lives.Zhou Ling sometimes thinks that these beings are an important part of the whole world, although they are noisy, they are alive.I have to say that life under the mountain is much more lively than that on the mountain.If one day, something wants to destroy such a vivid picture, he will definitely not sit idly by.

This incident was Zhou Ling's first encounter with something that looked like evil spirits harming people, and he wasn't even sure how credible his guess was.At this time, the defect of poor knowledge is reflected.But there is no way, he has not systematically studied the courses of subduing demons and slaying demons and catching ghosts, and he can't draw talismans, because the talisman paper will explode, which will cause the leakage of aura and attract the demons and ghosts who covet him; What he slips is calmness, and the most familiar one is Qing Jing Sutra, which is all caused by his constitution.

However, such a troublesome physique still brought him some comforting things, such as a very keen perception of the aura of heaven and earth.Whenever you feel sad and uncomfortable, don't think about it, the probability of encountering dirty things is much higher than actually getting sick.

After washing up, Zhou Ling made up his mind to go upstairs once.

He asked Qian Binbin: "Youngest, do you know which dormitory you are from?"

Qian Binbin said: "I heard it's the top floor, Lu Ren from Class 2 of Folklore. I just went up to take a look, and the dormitory has been sealed. It seems that everyone in their dormitory has moved out temporarily."

"Wow, don't say that the people in their dormitory moved out, the surrounding dormitories probably want to move out." Zhao Yan rubbed his arms and said.Don't look at this kid as careless, in fact he is the least courageous, usually watching a ghost movie, he has to drag his brothers with him.

Qian Binbin looked at Zhou Ling, frowned and said, "Old man, why are you asking this? Don't you want to watch the fun? Don't go. Although it might be a little weird to say it, when I first went upstairs Feeling a little cold."

"Cold?" Zhou Ling put his arm on his arm, the temperature was normal, and he didn't feel any discomfort: "What about now? Are you still cold?"

"Just go downstairs, maybe it's a psychological effect." Qian Binbin said: "Third brother, why do I feel that you are acting weird today? Are you cosplaying Da Xianer?"

Zhou Ling: "If I were a cosplay fairy, I should at least have all the equipment."

"That's right, the third child doesn't even have a compass. This fairy is too disrespectful." Zhao Yan climbed out of bed, ready to get up for lunch.

Zhou Ling touched the wooden comb to smooth his hair, and tied his hair behind his head with a hair rope, and said: "My family used to be in the mountains, and everyone in my family believed in this. Let me tell you, there are really some things in this world that cannot Explain it with science."

"Huh? What can't be explained by science?" Just as Zhou Ling finished speaking, the bedroom door was pushed open, and Cai Hongbo, who had gone to the library to complete his thesis, came back.

"Oh, the boss is back." Zhao Yan said, "The third one is promoting feudal superstition."

Zhou Ling: "...you can't say that you are looking for traditional culture."

Zhao Yan: "My son still said that he didn't talk about strange power and confusion."

Zhou Ling: "Then you are afraid of ghost movies."

Cai Hongbo could almost hear what they were talking about, and it probably happened upstairs.He put down his bag and joined the topic: "The latest news has been posted on the bbs, a stone hammer with a picture."

Qian Binbin let out a "wow": "Boss, I thought you had been studying hard all morning, so you also checked bbs."

The four of them took out their phones one after another and opened their bbs, but found nothing.

Qian Binbin looked at Cai Hongbo: "There is nothing."

Cai Hongbo said: "Perhaps the post was deleted. Isn't this kind of post blocked by the administrator?"

Zhou Ling swiped through two pages and didn't see anything, so he closed the bbs and opened the class group. Someone would always right-click to save it. Now that it was posted, it would be difficult to delete it.

Sure enough, someone in the class group actually saved the original picture.

The photos were blurry, and they were placed in a transparent bag, probably a police evidence bag.Because the dormitory building is a horizontal rectangular parallelepiped, the corridors are dark all year round, and the clarity of the photos taken under such light is even lower.

But the low resolution gives this photo a weird horror-movie vibe.It can be seen that the doll in the evidence bag is not the straw man in the rumors, but a witch doll that has been popular for a while.The doll around the city with wool has a big round head and chubby limbs. It was supposed to be an off-white doll, but now the color of the doll has been dyed dark red. Starting from the body part, the red goes outwards. Spread, not fully dyed on hands, feet and head.

I can't tell what the red is from the photo, but this color is easily reminiscent of blood.The doll was lying on its stomach in the evidence bag, so it was impossible to see if the chest had been pinched and burst as rumored.

"Wow, is it so scary?" Apparently, Zhou Ling's roommate also touched the class group and saw the photo.Zhao Yan glanced at it, turned off the picture, and threw the phone away, "I didn't think anything at first, but after being told by the third child, I saw a picture similar to the cover of a horror movie, and now I have goosebumps."

"Don't tell me, it's really scary." Qian Binbin nodded.

Zhou Ling put down his phone. This picture gave him a bad feeling, but he couldn't tell why through the screen, so he still had to go up and take a look.

Counting the time, it was almost time for dinner, so Zhou Ling proposed to go out for dinner.The four went to the cafeteria together.

The news about the death of a student in the Department of Folklore has spread, and many people in the cafeteria are discussing it.Zhou Ling ordered braised noodles and was eating with his roommate when a girl walked up to him.

Zhao Yan is usually active and knows a lot of people, so he recognized the girl at a glance.

"Hey, the flower of the Humanities Academy is called Liu Meng. Hey wait, her surname is Liu?"

Liu Meng walked to Zhou Ling's side and stopped.

After being reminded by Zhao Yan, Zhou Ling also realized that this girl's surname is Liu.How did the Liu family find him?Deliberately looking for it?Probably not, so it was just a coincidence?Then it happened that he was of some use to the Liu family?

Liu Meng looked at Zhou Ling and smiled slightly: "I am also from the Liu family."

Zhou Ling: "Oh." Then he looked back at Liu Meng. This person probably didn't come to him just to say that we are a family.

His guess was right, Liu Meng went on to say, "Hey, did someone die upstairs?"

Zhou Ling blinked: "Is there something wrong?"

Liu Meng smiled and said, "It's nothing, we're quite curious, and want to hear if there is any first-hand information."

"Oh, that's really not there." Zhou Ling shrugged, "We finished processing when we got up, and didn't see anything."

After he said this, Liu Meng didn't say anything else, and left a number for Zhou Ling, who said he was a relative and would contact her more in the future.

Sitting opposite Zhou Ling, Qian Binbin looked at the back of Liu Meng leaving and sighed, "Third brother, do you think she is your younger sister or older sister? Are all your family members so good-looking?"

Zhou Ling: "I'm an adopted son, thank you. And maybe I'm a generation behind." This is true, according to Liu Hanxiu's seniority, Zhou Ling, as Liu Hanxiu's adopted son, crushed at least a group of juniors in the Liu family's seniority.

Zhao Yan looked at the mobile phone number that Liu Meng handed over, and thought of the follow-up of his wealthy family's property dispute: "Is this here to find you to cooperate and form an alliance? Let me say this is a family property dispute."

Zhou Ling was speechless, and Cai Hongbo took a sip of soup: "Hurry up and eat, the third child is not making a movie, how can he be so bloody."

Returning to the dormitory after dinner, Zhou Ling sent a message to Liu Meng, which was concise and straight to the point: "Did something cause Lu Ren's death?"

Zhou Ling thinks this way, since the Lingshan Liu family is a family of metaphysics, then Liu Meng, who is the Liu family, must know something.

It took about ten minutes for Liu Meng's message to come back: "Have you heard of the nail grass man?"

Zhou Ling, of course, knows that nailing the straw man is a way of cursing, but generally speaking, the victim's birthday should be pasted on the straw man, and the victim's hair or other things should be filled in the man. The nails are nailed into the straw man's body, and after a period of time, the straw man is burned to make the curse take effect.

But now only one witchcraft doll has been found, and it is still intact.

Zhou Ling couldn't understand the question, so he sent the question over.

The reply on the other side was still very slow, and there was very little content, as if he was too lazy to explain to him.Liu Meng only told Zhou Ling: "This is a variant of the curse. The Liu family has received an invitation from the relevant department to investigate this case together. If you want to know, just go to the police station with me this afternoon."

Zhou Ling looked at the phone screen for a long time, and finally his curiosity overwhelmed other emotions. He decided to see how the Liu family handled these things.

After telling his roommate to go out, Zhou Ling went out under the sun.Seeing him, Liu Meng showed a knowing smile.Looking at that smile, Zhou Ling suddenly felt that the person in front of him was different from when he saw him at noon, and there was more inexplicable pride in his eyes.

The two took a taxi together to the police station and were invited into an office along the way.In the office were not only the two Liu family members that Zhou Ling had seen, but also a middle-aged man in police uniform and a younger woman in casual clothes.

Liu Meng bent over to the older Liu family members and called: "Grandpa." Then she called to Liu Xuan, "Brother."

The middle-aged policeman and the woman in casual clothes nodded at her.

The elders of Liu's family, whom Liu Meng called grandpa, waved their hands and glanced at Zhou Ling: "You're here too?" Before Zhou Ling could answer, he continued: "It's time to come and see. Meet my Liu family in Lingshan. ability."

Zhou Ling: "..." Actually, he just wanted to see that mutated nail-grass man.
