Fear Collection

Wan Qing staggered a few steps back to the window, tried her best to stay away from the bedroom door, and tried to open the window.

But when she retreated to the window, she faintly smelled more... the smell of inferior candles, and when she looked back, she found that there was a layer of white wax on the outside of the window, and the wax covered the window. It was so tightly sealed that she couldn't open it at all.

She was tired and hungry last night, and only went to the toilet before the lights were turned off, so she never saw anything unusual in the dormitory building.

The windows were sealed and there was no one else in the dormitory except her. There was no one else in the dormitory except her. Stuck in the bedroom.

Wan Qing calmed down at this moment, it was fine, left and right were just killed, I just hoped that when the steward at the door came in and killed her, it would make her less painful.

However... the housekeeper didn't come in until Chen Jingman and Dai Mengyan returned to the dormitory.

After listening to Wan Qing's experience, Chen Jingman said with a clear understanding: "The female dormitory manager turned out to be a wax figure."

Chen Jingman didn't leave the dormitory last night either. She has her own method of falling asleep, and she will plant hints to herself before going to bed. Under her control, she won't wake up easily in the middle of the night.

Wan Qing looked at Chen Jingman, but suddenly said something surprising: "I'm afraid I won't be able to stab it with the knife myself. From what you say, you seem to know these things very well. Can you please help me out?"

Chen Jingman looked at Wan Qing with surprise in her eyes, meeting her sincere eyes.

Chen Jingman suddenly couldn't stop laughing, she was usually expressionless, but she looked a little crazy when she laughed.

"Is it Wanqing? First, I'm not interested in killing people; second, I may be punished for killing my classmates at will in this world, so why should I take the risk to help you? Will this bring me any benefits?" ?”

The smile on her face gradually disappeared, and she returned to her usual indifferent appearance.

"Why did you enter this world? What are you afraid of before you die?" As soon as these two questions were asked, she immediately continued, "Oh no, you don't need to answer, and I'm not interested in your answer either."

"I just wanted to tell you..."

"When you don't have enough ability, even relief is a luxury."

……

On the other side, Xie Jinxi walked into the dormitory with her schoolbag on her back, and bumped into the gloomy dorm supervisor in the corridor on the second floor.

The old housekeeper looked at him and said, "Why did you come back?"

Seeing his reaction, Xie Jinxi probably understood that the lunch break should not be here yet.

"I studied for a while, and I came back late." Xie Jinxi used perfunctory words, and went straight into the dormitory, climbed into bed and lay down.

After the lunch break, Xie Jinxi followed her roommate to get up and continue the afternoon class.

Before and during class in the afternoon, Xie Jinxi focused on Fang Si, whose student ID was 130010.

After a whole afternoon of digesting what happened in the stairwell, he has roughly figured it all out.

There is no doubt that Xie Jinxi met Fang Si's resentful soul in the stairwell, and felt empathy with it when he came into contact with it.

In the stairwell, the sound of footsteps following Xie Jinxi was actually Fang Si's resentful soul. The footsteps finally stopped on the first floor, and did not follow Xie Jinxi to continue down. Immediately after that, there was knocking on the door and crying upstairs. In fact, these are all inducing Xie Jinxi to turn back and go up, implying that he has gone down too many floors and entered the ground.

Did it actually go underground?

Xie Jinxi doesn't think so.

Although in terms of senses, after he reached the first floor, he went down two sixth floors, that is, from the library, he went down to the height of three libraries in total.

But in fact the space is abnormal. The height of the four libraries in his perception is actually the distance from the sixth floor to the first floor.

As for why such an abnormality occurred, Xie Jinxi guessed that Fang Si went back and forth from the sixth floor to the first floor twice to ask for help before his death, so two additional heights of the sixth floor were added to the normal six-story height.

In other words, as long as you turn your head and go up, the stairs from the "real exit on the first floor" will extend down six floors. The length will be unpredictable, and people will be killed in this added staircase.

Including the last flight of stairs, Xie Jinxi heard the cries getting closer and thought he was approaching the sixth floor, but in fact it was Fang Si's resentful spirit misleading him.

Think about it, when a person walks down and feels that he is getting closer and closer to the resentful soul that should be far above his head, he will suspect that he seems to be going down, but actually is approaching the resentful soul, and he will try to He turned his head and walked up in an attempt to increase the distance again.But as long as you look back, you will be six floors away from the exit.

And the body that Xie Jinxi saw falling on the fire door when he was approaching the exit on the first floor was not the real body of Fang Si, but the illusionary projection of the pen, in order to distract him.

In fact, Fang Si's resentful spirit was hanging upside down on his head. Seeing him approaching the exit, he hung upside down in front of him in an attempt to scare him back.

Xie Jinxi did not get Fang Si's soul core after empathizing with Fang Si's resentful soul. Thinking about it this way, he understood why this ghost played so many mysteries and tried to trap him to death with space anomalies instead of directly strangling him. kill him.

Because only Fang Si's resentment and most of the soul body remained in the stairwell, without the support of the soul core, this incomplete resentful soul could do this at most, and finally caught up and hung upside down in front of Xie Jinxi in an attempt to make him turn back, In fact, this incomplete resentful soul does not have the ability to kill him directly.

After Xie Jinxi's empathy ended, the incomplete resentful soul was absorbed by Muta.

If another person came and was trapped in this stairwell, as long as he was firm enough to keep going down without being disturbed, without looking back, and without being afraid of the wraith rushing out of the fire door, he could escape.

But after thinking about it, how many people who are really trapped in it can not be affected?

But I don't know if it's because Xie Jinxi's blood in the world of the Snake Valley Temple has been further stimulated. In addition to Fang Si's experience before her death, Xie Jinxi also experienced part of her memories before she was alive.

Judging from Fang Si’s life experience, she was originally a student in the first class of liberal arts. She was talented in writing, and her composition was often praised by teachers and classmates. As far as her student number is "10", she should also be able to study well. very nice.

But at some point, the school where she studied and lived gradually changed.

The students were not allowed to go home, and everyone was locked up on campus, but at that time the students couldn't believe that the school really wanted to imprison them.

Immediately afterwards, the school rules and disciplines became more stringent, and the teachers were affected and changed.A student who was late and jumped out of the window broke his legs strangely. The attitude of the Chinese teacher, who originally encouraged students to expand their reading, changed drastically.

Combining the words left by Fang Si, the poem and her chaotic wailing before she died, Xie Jinxi naturally understood the scariest thing about this school.

It is trying to make all students look the same, no, it should be said that it replaces individuality with templates, and replaces individual consciousness with collective consciousness.

The school uses strict school rules, two schedules, and ubiquitous surveillance to control students' study and life under high pressure, and uses teaching content to control their thoughts and obliterate their individuality. In the end, students even lost their names. Only the student number that the teacher will call during the roll call is left.

So Fang Sicai said "I am no longer me, I am disappearing, I am becoming like them", Fang Si tried to leave clues in the magazine, and also tried to secretly resist this "disappearance of self" by means of extended reading. ", but although the teacher didn't catch her, the school was aware of her attempt and locked her in the stairwell to die.

And after she died, she still controlled her soul core and separated the soul core from resentment. Only then did 130010 have the same template as the first class of liberal arts.

Xie Jinxi also thought of the handprints that moved in the dormitory last night. Ghosts like this are probably the incomplete ghosts left by the students who died tragically.These mutilated resentful souls do not have the ability to directly kill people, but the retained resentment drives them to try to let more students experience the same experience they had during their lifetime, and those mutilated resentful souls became the school's accomplices.

And Xie Jinxi was trapped in the stairwell because he got the note left by Fang Si before his death, and he also did what Fang Si did before his death. The resentful soul of her was trapped in the stairwell.

Xie Jinxi observed 130010 for the whole afternoon and found nothing unusual. 130010, the original Fang Si, went to and from class like other students.

Xie Jinxi only found out that she was the representative of the Chinese class when she left her homework in the afternoon.

Very ironic.

After the last class ended, it was time for dinner. Before that, Xie Jinxi walked to 130010 with the pen he picked up from the stairwell, and tentatively said, "Fang Si, in the library this morning, I picked up a pen. Do you think this is what you dropped?"

130010, who was stopped by the call, looked back at Xie Jinxi. The student head and black and white long-sleeved trousers school uniform still couldn't conceal her unique temperament. She took the pen and looked at it, and said, "It's mine."

"I lost it for a long time and thought I couldn't find it. Thank you for helping me find it."

"you are welcome."

130010 passed him and walked out of the classroom, Xie Jinxi looked at her back with mixed feelings.

Having said that, in this school, how many students are assimilated alive, and how many are soul cores controlled after death?

Thinking about it now, the phrase "he" gave [do the right thing] is not just a reminder, it is also a trap.

If you keep doing things that comply with the school rules and regulations, stay in the school, and do the "right things" stipulated in your studies, the taskers will soon be assimilated, lose themselves, and completely integrate into this school.

Xie Jinxi also walked towards the cafeteria. He went straight up to the third floor and saw other taskers who were already sitting there.

When the newcomers saw that he could still appear, they all looked at him with weird eyes, while Xu Jingman raised his eyebrows and said two words: "Not bad."

Xie Jinxi ignored them, went to the window to buy a big meal, sat down and started eating.

He missed lunch at noon and is really hungry now.

The author has something to say: It is probably already clear that in SCPs, this kind of influence on people's spirits and spread is called memetic hazards.

This school is roughly like this. Even if a person dies, the soul is still under the control of the school and continues to live the same life.
