Strange Story of Strange House

Cao Yike, who was in a coma, didn't know that in this dormitory, there was another person who was suffering just like her—Ye Bai hugged the quilt tightly, her teeth were locked tightly, and she could even hear the sound of her own teeth chattering.She watched it all through the gap where the bed curtain closed and turned outward.

In fact, she already noticed something was wrong when Cao Yike fetched water and entered the door. She saw Feng Yao biting her arm bit by bit. She wanted to remind Cao Yike that something was wrong in the dormitory, but she didn't dare!She was afraid that she would be exposed, and that she would attract Feng Yao's attack.

After Cao Yike passed out, Han Xia let her go. The coma made her unable to respond to external stimuli. The few "people" who were wandering around her quickly lost interest in her and returned to their original positions.

Bonnie went back to bed and continued her embroidery, humming an unknown and eerie ballad.At this time, her movements are completely different from the stiffness when Cao Yike first met just now.Her fingers fluttered, and the skin and flesh were torn where they passed... But it was this bloody movement that embroidered a distorted blood lotus flower on her wrist.

In Ye Bai's lower bunk, Li Qian, who was cut off at the waist, is now separated from her torso.Li Qian, whose whole body was cut into several large pieces, didn't think it was strange at all, on the contrary, she blinked her big eyes, and chatted to Ye Bai who was on the upper bunk: "Ye Bai, I suddenly want to eat the food from outside the west gate. Big meat buns, let's go buy together tomorrow, shall we..."

Han Xia was holding the dead baby half eaten by Feng Yao, singing a lullaby unsteadily, and her mother softly hummed along with Bao Ni's weird ballad, which looked extremely frightening.

Feng Yao's stomach growled, and she seemed to be hungry again. She stared at Cao Yike who had fainted for a while, rubbed her stomach and turned her head away, but finally didn't attack her roommate...

Time passed bit by bit, and the clock hanging on the wall of the dormitory was not affected in any way, and it dutifully crossed every scale, showing the time accurately.When the hour hand was pointing to the scale six, as if the scene had been refreshed, everything began to return to normal, and the blood-stained bedroom returned to its original clean and tidy appearance.Ye Bai closed her eyes and fell asleep on the bed. The scars on Bao Ni's hands disappeared, and there were bright eyes in her eye sockets. The dead baby in Han Xia's hand disappeared. She also lay back on her bed, even though it was torn apart. Li Qian and Feng Yao, who had gnawed themselves to pieces, also returned to normal when the minute hand swayed past the scale on the top of the clock.The only thing that was wrong was that Cao Yike, who was fainted from fright, was still lying on the cold floor...

At 06:30, the dormitory turned on the lights on time, and Li Qian's alarm clock rang loudly, waking up the sleeping roommates.

"Wake up! It's 06:30! I still have to do exercises today!" Li Qian sat up straight away, put on her clothes and opened the bed curtain, and saw Cao Yike lying on the ground.

"Hey! What's wrong with Yike? Get up quickly!!!"

The girls in the dormitory were called up by Li Qian, who hurriedly helped Cao Yike up.

"How to do?"

"Move to the bed first!"

"The person fainted! What should I do?"

"Pinch someone?!"

"Pinch people?...OK! Pinch."

The girls hurriedly moved him to the bed, pinched him, and fed him hot water.Who knew that Cao Yike, who had just woken up, looked around them for a week, then widened his eyes and cried out in horror: "There is a ghost! Help!" The hands and feet kept beating, and the girls couldn't hold her down at all, so they had to leave the dormitory. I found other girls to come over, and then called the teacher's phone number...

******

On this day, as soon as Lin Chi entered the classroom, he felt that the atmosphere was a bit dignified.

He found a random seat and sat down, and he asked the girl in the front row why.

"Don't you know yet!? Cao Yike from our class went crazy last night!" the girl lowered her voice and whispered in his ear.

"?" Although the school just started and there were not many people in the class, Cao Yike and Lin Chi still knew about it. After all, Chen Feng only introduced his girlfriend to him yesterday, and he had a good impression of that lively and cheerful girl.Why did people go crazy after only one night?

"I heard..." The girl looked around and found that no one noticed them, so she moved closer to Lin Chi's ear and lowered her voice, "It's the girls' dormitory that is haunted."

Haunted?This is a familiar word to Lin Chi.

Lin Chi asked a few more questions, but the girl couldn't give any definite information. The bell for class just rang at this moment, and the two of them ended the conversation.

After a while after the bell rang, Chen Feng hurried into the classroom.Lin Chi waved his hand at him, and Chen Feng sat beside him with an ugly expression on his face.

"What's the matter? Didn't you be fine yesterday?" Although Lin Chi is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's business, he is someone he knows after all. Chen Feng is still his high school classmate, so he can't just sit idly by, so he is reasonable He should care about it.

"I don't know!! Yi Ke called me in the early hours of yesterday, and I was too sleepy at that time, so I didn't answer. You said, if I had answered, wouldn't these things have happened?" Chen Feng was irritated He grabbed his hair with his hands.

"Don't think like this..." Lin Chi hesitated for a moment, then reached out and patted Chen Feng's shoulder as a sign of comfort, "Then what's going on now? Cao Yike and her..."

"I'm still in the hospital, the police and the teacher are there, and her roommates are also there, and they asked me to come back first..." Chen Feng said, thumping the table hard, causing the students around him to rush towards him. She paid her attention, but the person concerned didn't care at all, and talked about her own topic, "I asked her roommates this morning, and they all said that nothing special happened last night, and they went to bed early. I just wanted to It doesn’t work! Why did Yike go crazy? When she saw me, she could only call for help, but I couldn’t help her! I couldn’t help..."

"Then when you were together yesterday, did Cao Yike tell you anything special?"

"Special? No..." Chen Feng recalled, "Yesterday we have been discussing the matters after the establishment of the association. The application form has been handed in, so there should be no problem. After that, there will be channels for collecting antiques... Yi Ke also said The school should approve a space for us to use as an activity room, and then the collected antiques can be placed in it... That's right! I heard her say it several times before, saying that a friend found an ancient clay pot for her, which is very mysterious , I finally got it yesterday, and said that the jar was sealed with a paper like a charm, and I will take it when there is an activity room. I was a little bit confused at the time, but seeing her happy look, I didn't say anything .Could it be... something wrong with it?!"

"Don't be surprised, the police will figure out these issues." Lin Chi held down Chen Feng, who was almost jumping three feet high.

"No, no, I can't just sit here, I must go and have a look at that clay pot! Now that I recall what Yike said to me, I always feel uneasy."

"You can go and see, but you have to wait for someone to come back from their dormitory, right? Otherwise, you can still go into the girls' dormitory?"

Chen Feng patted himself on the head suddenly: "Look at me, I'm so confused. I'll send a text message to their room chief first, and ask her to give me the clay pot when she comes back."

Before get out of class was over, Chen Feng received a letter from the head of the dormitory, Li Qian, urging him to get his things quickly.

Cao Yike is still staying in the hospital at the moment, she is not a local, her parents will not be able to make it to K City for a while, the roommates are worried, and they are going back to the dormitory to get some things, and go to the hospital to take care of her for a while.

Without even thinking about it, Chen Feng slipped out from behind and skipped class under the teacher's nose.Lin Chi was worried and followed suit.

When they rushed downstairs to the girls' dormitory, Li Qian and Ye Bai were already waiting there.After Ye Baisai gave Chen Feng a simple clay pot, the two left in a hurry.

Finding a place where no one was around, Chen Feng held up the clay pot and looked at it carefully.The exterior of the clay pot is a very simple wave-shaped ornamentation that surrounds the entire pot.However, the most eye-catching part of the clay pot is the paper top, which is written with rune-like maroon ancient characters, which makes people feel afraid just by looking at it.

Chen Feng subconsciously glanced at Lin Chi, raised his hand and lifted the cover.Although Lin Chi often encounters ghosts, he is not a celestial master after all, nor does he have any experience in this area.He didn't think there would be any danger if the pot was opened, so he didn't stop Chen Feng.

But to the surprise of the two, there was nothing in the pot that was lifted from the top.

"Nothing? It's obviously sealed, so why is there nothing?" Chen Feng looked at the empty bottom of the tank with some disappointment.Lin Chi, on the other hand, frowned tightly, staring at the traces of Yin Qi floating out of the jar after the top was lifted.He is not unfamiliar with this kind of Yin Qi, which is permeated in Yunlou every day, and it is not... something that belongs to living people.

But Lin Chi didn't intend to tell Chen Feng, knowing this kind of thing would not do Chen Feng any good.

Lin Chi talked about him from left to right, and said to the confused Chen Feng: "Since nothing abnormal can be found now, why don't you go to the hospital to see Cao Yike first? Maybe you can think of something."

"You're right!" Chen Feng's eyes lit up, "Then I'll go to the hospital to see her first! It's just this jar...it seems to be fine, why don't you keep it for me first? Okay?"

"Okay, I'll keep it for you, you go quickly."

"Okay! Xiao Chi, you are really a brother." After finishing speaking, Chen Feng patted Lin Chi violently, making him stagger.When Lin Chi stood still, Chen Feng had already run away.Lin Chi shook his head helplessly. He glanced at the jar in his hand, thinking that since Chen Feng asked him to keep it, he should take it back and let Huaiyin take a look.

After all, Huaiyin's deputy is also a half-hearted celestial master. In order to fool people, he has learned a lot of crooked things.

When he walked out of the school with the jar, he met a few chattering girls.As soon as Lin Chi was distracted, he listened to their conversation. It basically said that the snack bar outside the school gate that had been closed for a long time was sold out, and it seemed that it was about to reopen. It had been renovating before.The shop is quaint and pretty, and I don't know what kind of business to open.Lin Chi knew about the snack bar they were talking about. The storefront of that store was facing Yunlou. According to Huaiyin's words, Feng Shui is not very good. This is a bit reserved, but in fact, it is very bad!So after changing several bosses, it won't last long.

Lin Chi just listened casually without taking it to heart.So he didn't know how this upcoming store would change his life.

******

In the past few days, various activities for the freshmen's orientation have come to an end. Lin Chi's class today is concentrated in the morning, and there is no arrangement in the afternoon, so he can move freely.After the morning class, most people choose to take a beautiful afternoon nap after eating, watch dramas and play games, and enjoy the afternoon leisurely.Although something happened to Cao Yike, after all, he has just started school and the classmates are not yet familiar with each other. If he is so sad that he can't eat or sleep, that's not true.So except for the class committee meeting with a few classmates who were close to Cao Yike and going to the hospital, the rest of the people resumed their original lives.

What happens to others, whether happy or sad, is just a topic for chatting and gossip in the future.

Lin Chi finished his lunch at the fast food restaurant in front of the school, and walked to Yunlou with the clay pot. If nothing else happened, he could stay at home all afternoon, wait for Huaiyin to wake up, and take the clay pot to ask about it. Will he know something.

Yunlou still unscrupulously released its yin energy, wishing that birds and beasts would fly away for miles around.Before Lin Chi could enter the door with the clay pot, Yun Jing blocked him from the Yunlou.

"What's that in your hand?" Yun Jing stood outside the door holding a black parasol, matching her black outfit, full of momentum.

"My classmate left me something, but it's not very clean inside. I just took it back and asked Huaiyin to look at it for me. Why don't I meet Aunt Yun first, or can Aunt Yun give me the palm of my hand?" Lin Chi Congshan passed the things over, Yun Jing did not refuse, but just pinched the things with two fingers with a look of disgust, which made people tremble with fear.

"Huh... It's been a long time since I saw this kind of thing." Yun Jing raised her eyebrows, and threw the thing back into Lin Chi's arms. quiet.

"Aunt Yun, do you know?"

"I know~"

"Then tell me!"

"Please~"

"Please!" Lin Chi said without hesitation. You can't expect a child who was raised by a ghost to have integrity. Instead, Yun Jing, who had bad intentions and wanted to embarrass him, was choked.

"Hey, this thing is a curse-carrying object many years ago. To put it bluntly, it is a vessel used to seal the cursed thing. But now it seems that the curse has been released. I don't know the specifics. Why don't you Go back and ask your father, Aunt Yun is very busy lately~" As soon as she said that, Yun Jing disappeared from Lin Chi's eyes holding her parasol, as if her appearance here was really just a coincidence, but It wasn't because he was worried that the things Lin Chi brought back from outside would endanger Yunlou.

curse?Lin Chi felt a little uneasy in his heart. Was the curse released by Chen Feng?Or by Cao Yike?

He knew in his heart that Cao Yike was actually more likely, after all, he was still lying in the hospital madly.

So is there a way to break the curse?

Lin Chi was thinking while walking into the Yunlou.After countless times, in the still abnormally cold exhibition hall, there were whispers from the dolls.At the stairway, Hongxiu was chanting her catchphrase, her eyes were fixed on the clay pot in Lin Chi's hand, and there was a weird smile on the corner of her mouth...

Lin Chi's heart trembled, and he immediately quickened his pace.When he got home, Huai Yin hadn't woken up yet. Lin Chi stood by the bed and stared at his sleeping face, struggling between the two choices of "wake him up" and "let him continue to sleep".

Huaiyin's alertness has always been very good, and he would have woken up when Lin Chi stood beside his bed, but the hobby of parents is to watch their children hesitate in front of options.He pretended to be asleep, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. How could Lin Chi, who had been watching his sleeping face, not notice such details.

What a bad parent!

The child was annoyed, and rushed towards the person on the bed in a posture of being overwhelmed by Mount Tai, while the vicious parent stuffed the boy into his arms with his backhand, closing his eyes and not speaking.

"Huaiyin, I have something to ask you." Lin Chi stretched out his finger and poked Huaiyin's face, and secretly commented in his heart: The touch is top-notch!

"Ok?"

"My classmate left a pottery pot with me. When I brought it back, I met Aunt Yun at the door. She said that it was a container for a curse, and the curse had already been released. I think my friend probably fell into that curse. You Do you know how to break the curse?"

"Xiao Chi made friends~"

"That's not the point!"

"Well, I told you before that everything has its own door. No matter how complicated or simple the curse is, as long as you find the eye, you can break it."

"Then what is a formation eye?"

"It's what you think is the most special place. It's often the most abnormal or the most normal place among a bunch of abnormal things. If you destroy it, you can crack it."

Lin Chi turned over, looked at the pretty faces of his parents, and fell into deep thought.The parents were obviously unwilling to be alone, and began to tease the children to talk.

"What was taught in school today?"

Lin Chi's topic was successfully turned back. He thought for a while: "Today, the teacher gave us a brief introduction of his major, and also told a lot of interesting things about his archeology. It sounds very interesting!"

"Well, tell me about it too?"

"He said that when they went to archeology before..."

"Well, it's quite interesting..." Huaiyin replied without saying a word, and fell asleep again after a while.It was afternoon, and for him, it was a good time to sleep.Lin Chi glanced at the sky outside the window, closed the quilt, and fell asleep with his parents.

When I woke up, it was already dark.Before Lin Chi had time to eat, he was called out by Chen Feng.The two made an appointment to meet at the school gate. As soon as Chen Feng saw Lin Chi, he pulled him to talk about his experience this afternoon.He stayed with Cao Yike in the hospital all the time, but Cao Yike cried when he saw him, and shouted that there was a ghost when he saw the girl in the dormitory. Several people tossed back and forth, and waited until her parents rushed to the hospital before leaving .

"Yike is a very strong person. I suspect she must have encountered something yesterday. Like a thief or..."

"I don't think it's a thief," Lin Chi quickly denied his thoughts, "If it was a thief, Cao Yike would definitely call for help, and it's impossible that the girl in her bedroom didn't hear anything."

"What could it be?" Chen Feng was silent for a while, and then asked, "Tell me, could it really be a ghost?"

"ghost?!"

"Don't you believe that there are ghosts in this world? But I think that even if Yi Ke is not normal, what she said is still based on evidence. Last night, she must have seen something scary enough to make her think of a ghost, or, What she saw was a ghost. Otherwise, how could it be explained that she was frightened crazy, but the people in the dormitory didn't react at all?"

Chen Feng analyzed calmly, his face was frighteningly gloomy.

Lin Chi didn't know if he should tell Chen Feng about the curse. When he and Chen Feng opened the clay pot this morning, there was nothing in it, which means that before he and Chen Feng opened the pot, the things were already inside. It was opened, and the curse inside was also released, and the curse was fulfilled, and Cao Yike had an accident.

"Then what are you going to do? Even if it's a problem in the dormitory, we can't go into the girls' dormitory to investigate, right?"

"Why can't I get in? The girls in Yi Ke's dormitory didn't dare to sleep today. When I said I wanted to go to their dormitory to investigate this matter, they all agreed. The dormitory manager of this women's dormitory will go to eat later, and a few The girls will cover us in at that time." Chen Feng insisted, no matter how much Lin Chi tried to persuade him, he would not give up, and in the end he even said harshly, saying that if Lin Chi didn't want to, he would investigate by himself.

Knowing that there was a curse in the dormitory, how dare Lin Chi let him go alone.Seeing Chen Feng who was unwilling to give up no matter what, Lin Chi sighed, and told Chen Feng the conversation he had with Aunt Yun Huaiyin today.After listening, Chen Feng looked at him in surprise: "You mean, the problem lies in that clay pot?"

"Yes, the elders in my family suspect that it is a curse, we can't deal with it, so I don't want you to investigate it."

"How can I not check! Yike is still in the hospital!"

"But……"

"Lin Chi, listen to me, the girls in the dormitory don't know anything now, and Yi Ke is crazy. Only when we go up and find out what happened, can we find someone who can deal with it! You are right! "Chen Feng looked at Lin Chi firmly, and Lin Chi almost laughed angrily seeing him talking nonsense in a serious manner.

"Then you go by yourself, don't count me in."

"Farewell, brother!" Chen Feng grabbed Lin Chi's arm, and now he was sure that Lin Chi was a man of knowledge, let alone let him go.Pulling and pulling, both soft and hard, finally got Lin Chi's compromise.

The price of compromise was that he and Chen Feng sneaked into the girls' dormitory and hid in Cao Yike's bedroom.Lin Chi sat on a chair, watching the clock on the wall ticking forward.The girls didn't seem to be going to sleep today, they were all nestled on the two beds below, chatting twitteringly.

Everything seemed very normal, and when it was almost eleven o'clock, the girls went to wash together, and then nestled back to the two beds below.Chen Feng was bored playing games with his mobile phone, while Lin Chi looked at this warmly decorated dormitory, but his uneasiness was slowly expanding.

When the twelve o'clock bell rang, the dormitory suddenly became dark...
