    Chapter 101 Countdown

    Because of this sudden attack, the three of them just sat in the room all night.

    The next day, Lin Qiushi only came out of the house after seeing the first rays of sunlight spilling onto the corridor. As soon as he entered the corridor, he smelled a strong fishy smell, which he was already very familiar with. It was the smell of blood.

    "Something happened?" Gu Longming also smelled the bloody smell, and his expression became nervous, "Where did it come from?"

    Lin Qiushi took a sniff and determined the direction of the smell. He said, "It seems to be downstairs, go and have a look."

    They turned around and went down the stairs, and saw two people standing in front of the room on the far right downstairs. The door of the room was wide open, and the pungent stench came from that room.

    Gu Longming walked at the front and said, "What happened?"

    "It's dead." Zuo Sisi's tone was a little indifferent. She obviously accepted death very well, and said, "Two died, I don't know how to trigger the death condition."

    Gu Longming leaned over to the window and glanced inside, and waved his hand with a slightly unsightly expression: "Well... it's quite a miserable death."

    Lin Qiushi also stepped forward and walked to the window: "I'll take a look too."

    Through the gap in the curtain, he saw the situation in the room. saw that the whole room was covered with blood, and the two dead people were standing in the center of the room. Their heads were replaced by something, and they turned into two plaster statues of human heads. Covered with coagulated blood, it looked terrifying at first glance.

    "Where are their heads?" Gu Longming said, "Have you found their heads?"

    "No." Zuo Sisi hugged her chest and said, "We just discovered it too."

    "No one knows these two people?" Lin Qiushi asked.

    Zuo Sisi shook her head: "I don't know if there are any. If you want to know, it's probably going to take a while, and some people still haven't woken up... Just keep watching, I'm going to eat." She finished speaking with her own The partner turned and walked away, his back seemed to have no sympathy for the two corpses.

    Gu Longming asked Lin Qiushi in a low voice, "Should we go in and have a look?" This place really made people feel uncomfortable.

    "Let's take a look." Lin Qiushi felt that there might be some clues in the two of them, although he didn't want to go in if he could.

    When the two of them were talking, Ai Wenrui stood behind and trembled, as if he had been electrocuted. He heard Gu Longming say he wanted to go in, he almost didn't cry, and said, "I won't go in, I won't go in— —”

    "Okay, just wait outside, I didn't tell you to go in." Gu Longming didn't expect Ai Wenrui to have the courage to come in, so he was the first to enter the room.

    It seems that other people have already come in, Gu Longming saw a few scattered footprints next to the house.

    Lin Qiushi walked to the corpses of these two people and found that their bodies had undergone a strange change. Although the people died, the corpses did not become soft. Instead, they were like hardened cement, showing a kind of rigidity. state.

    The heads of these two people were forcibly twisted off, and even the muscles on their necks were torn apart. Gu Longming searched around the room, but did not find their heads: "There is no head. "

    Lin Qiushi nodded to indicate that he knew. He half bent down and carefully observed the two dead people in front of him, but suddenly found something. He reached out his hand cautiously, and tentatively took out a pocket of a corpse. After a while, he took out a small wooden man from his pocket...

    This wooden man, Lin Qiushi, had seen it yesterday. It was exactly the kind that Ai Wenrui's two friends were holding in his hands, but the wood at this time was different from what Lin Qiushi saw yesterday—the wooden man's head was gone.

    The wooden man was also stained with a little blood. Lin Qiushi took out a tissue, wrapped the wooden man in it, and found an identical wooden man on the body of another deceased.

    Apart from the wooden man, there seemed to be no other clues in the house.

    Lin Qiushi left the room, showed the wooden man in his hand to Ai Wenrui, and said, "Do you know this thing? Is it your friend's?"

    "Where did you find it?" Ai Wenrui's eyes narrowed when he saw the wooden man, "Show me?"

    Lin Qiushi handed the wooden man to Ai Wenrui.

    After Ai Wenrui checked, his expression became a little scared: "This, isn't this Xiaosu's wooden man?"

    Lin Qiushi frowned when he heard the words: "What do you mean? Does it mean that the wooden figures in each of you are different?"

    "That's right." Ai Wenrui said, "It's different. This is Xiaosu's wooden man. I remember it very clearly, because her wooden man has no head"

    Lin Qiushi: "Where's your wooden man?"

    "I threw it." Ai Wenrui said, "We were all a little scared after the accident, so I just found a random place and threw the wooden man... This, this..."

    Gu Longming asked, "Could this wooden man have anything to do with their way of dying?"

    Lin Qiushi also thought of it, so both of them turned their attention to Ai Wenrui.

    When Ai Wenrui heard the conversation between the two of them, he obviously thought of something, and his expression instantly filled with horror, "No, no... But Xiaohe's wooden man, isn't it good? Then why did he die? ?"

    "Who said his wooden man was fine?" Lin Qiushi asked.

    "I saw it, you have seen it too - the one they were holding -" Ai Wenrui said.

    "That's not necessarily Xiaohe's wooden man." Lin Qiushi said, "Isn't another friend of yours present at the time? He is still alive, is it possible that this wooden man belongs to him?"

    After Lin Qiushi's reminder, Ai Wenrui obviously wanted to understand something. His complexion was getting worse and worse, and finally he lost his blood. A sentence was squeezed out of the crack: "I don't know, when I arrived, they had already taken out the wooden man." So he couldn't be sure whether the wooden man was from Xiaohe, who was cut in half, or a friend who escaped in a hurry. of.

    "Let's look for information about Zhu Ruyuan." Lin Qiushi said, "And where did your wooden man go?"

    Ai Wenrui's face was ashes, he shook his head and said, "How do I know, I threw it in the trash can—" Who knows what it looks like now.

    Gu Longming said: "Okay, don't think too much, if you lose it, just lose it."

    Ai Wenrui didn't say a word for a long time, as if his soul had left the body.

    Lin Qiushi inexplicably loves this child a little, and reaches out and touches his furry head: "Let's go, let it end early, so don't worry."

    Ai Wenrui did not answer. .

    Zhu Ruyuan happened five years ago. The students in the school didn't seem to have any reaction to this name, but most of the teachers with long tenures knew this person, and even when her name was mentioned, the reaction was very strong. strong.

    Lin Qiushi asked a lot of people, and finally a teacher gave them key information: "If you want to know, you might as well ask the head teacher of that class at that time."

    "Oh, he's still at school?" Lin Qiushi asked.

    "Yes," the teacher said, "but he doesn't teach anymore, he manages books in the library."

    Lin Qiushi immediately remembered the librarian, and after thanking the teacher, the three were ready to go to the library.

    "I want to go to the toilet first." Ever since Ai Wenrui learned about the wooden man, his face has not been very good. Lin Qiushi was a little worried about him and said, "Go, it will be fine."

    "Well." Ai Wenrui nodded.

    After he entered, Lin Qiushi looked at Gu Longming and said, "What do you think of him?"

    "How? How about what?" Gu Longming was stunned for a while, then quickly said, "I don't like boys—"

    Lin Qiushi: "..." He tried his best to control himself, so as not to distort his expression, "I didn't ask you this!"

    "Then what do you mean? Oh... Are you saying that Ai Wenrui can be trusted?" Gu Longming said, "I think he must be hiding something from us, but it shouldn't be a particularly important matter."

    "Well." Lin Qiushi pondered for a moment, thinking about some questions.

    Ai Wenrui went and came back quickly. After a while, there was the sound of flushing water. He walked outside and said weakly to Gu Longming: "It seems that I have diarrhea. I feel really uncomfortable."

    "Uncomfortable? Do you want me to carry you?" Ai Wenrui was thin, but Gu Longming had no problem carrying him, as if he was carrying a bag of rice.

    Lin Qiushi originally thought that Ai Wenrui would refuse, but he nodded and agreed.

    Gu Longming bent over, carried Ai Wenrui on his back, and said, "Let's go, let's go, don't waste your time."

    Lin Qiushi snorted, the three of them were taking a few steps forward, and just as they were about to enter the elevator, they heard a terrified cry coming from behind. As soon as the cry came out, Lin Qiushi's body including Gu Longming froze instantly, because The owner of this voice is exactly Ai Wenrui who should have been saddened by Gu Longming on his back.

    "You guys—what are you carrying—" Lin Qiushi turned back and saw Ai Wenrui standing outside the toilet, casting a terrified look at them.

    Gu Longming also let out a scream, and threw the thing behind him directly to the ground.

    Lin Qiushi heard the sound of hard objects shattering, and looked down, only to find that Gu Longming was actually carrying a plaster statue. At this time, the statue fell on the ground and shattered into several pieces.

    "Fuck, f*ck, f*ck—" Gu Longming swears swearing and slaps his back constantly, "What the hell is this?"

    Lin Qiushi looked down at the statue and slowly bent down. From the fragments of the statue, he found a few pieces of debris. He frowned: "This..." He took out the debris and found that the wood debris was just right. belong to the same puppet.

    Ai Wenrui's expression was sluggish, he took a few steps forward slowly, saw the thing in Lin Qiushi's hand, and said in a trembling voice, "This, this is my wooden man."

    Lin Qiushi: "..."

    Ai Wenrui said: "This is my wooden man—" His wooden man was smashed to pieces, his limbs shattered into pieces that couldn't be put together, and if their guesses were right, then he would also die in this way , tragically left this world.

    Lin Qiushi thought that Ai Wenrui, who saw the wooden man, would cry, but unexpectedly he pulled out a smile that seemed to be crying, and said, "I, am I going to die?"

    To be honest, after entering the door for so long, Lin Qiushi rarely saw such vivid NPCs, and even gave Lin Qiushi the illusion that he was actually an outsider. Most of the NPCs inside the door are terrifying and weird, and the only one Xu Jin who left an impression on Lin Qiushi was an NPC disguised as an outsider.

    "Don't worry, you'll be fine." Gu Longming said comfortingly, "Let's go to the library first, find Zhu Ruyuan early, and maybe we can end this matter."

    Ai Wenrui didn't speak, just nodded woodenly.

    This time, they didn't dare to waste any more time, and the three went straight to the library.

    The librarian I saw before was sitting at the front desk reading a book. He heard Lin Qiushi and the others' footsteps, and he didn't raise his head too much, but said coldly: "The files are upstairs, and no one is currently borrowing them."

    "Hello." Lin Qiushi said, "You are Zhu Ruyuan's head teacher, right?"

    Hearing the name Zhu Ruyuan, the librarian stopped turning the book, and his eyes became a little gloomy: "Where did you hear this name?"

    Lin Qiushi said, "She is your student, right?"

    The librarian said, "Yeah."

    "Can you tell me something about her?" Lin Qiushi pointed to the various statues in the hall on the first floor, "and these statues."

    "She's my student, I'm her teacher, that's all," he said. "What do you want to know?"

    "How did she die?" Lin Qiushi said, "or, does her death have anything to do with these statues?"

    The librarian put down the book in his hand and said lightly, "She committed suicide. As for the relationship between these statues and her, have you seen Zhu Ruyuan's sculptures?"

    Lin Qiushi should have never seen it before, but he remembered the statue of a woman hidden in the activity room, and said, "Is it a woman?"

    Zhu Ruyuan's head teacher said, "Yes, a woman who takes herself as a model." He said, "She's beautiful, but she's just beautiful. She's missing something important." He stood up and pointed to the first floor Those statues with different poses but very similar appearances, "but these statues are nothing like that, they are all perfect works."

    Lin Qiushi: "..."

    Gu Longming obviously disliked the deceitful head teacher in front of him. He said, "Perfect? ​​How can something that looks similar be perfect?"

    After he said this, the head teacher laughed contemptuously: "You don't understand anything."

    "What kind of person is Zhu Ruyuan?" Lin Qiushi continued to ask.

    "She? A very harsh creator." The head teacher seemed to be fulfilling his duty, and told them about Zhu Ruyuan's information without emotion, "She can't tolerate flaws..."

    "How does she treat defective products?" Lin Qiushi asked.

    "Naturally it is destruction." The head teacher said, "Defective products really have no value in existence."

    Lin Qiushi said: "So when she found out that the sculpture based on her was flawed, she destroyed herself?" His eyes moved to the pocket of the class teacher's shirt, "What's in your pocket?"

    The head teacher didn't answer, just looked at Lin Qiushi indifferently,

    Lin Qiushi said, "Can you show me what's in your pocket?"

    He still didn't move, but Gu Longming didn't have the patience to continue with him, he reached out and grabbed his collar and pulled him over. His actions are very rude, and it can be seen that he is very impatient with the NPC with a bad attitude in front of him.

    "What are you doing—" the head teacher called out, and before he could react, Gu Longming grabbed his shirt pocket directly.

    Gu Longming took out what was in his shirt pocket, it was actually a wooden doll, just like what they had seen before.

    "Wooden doll?!" Ai Wenrui's eyes widened, "Where did you get it, is it also given to you by Senior Sister?"

    When the head teacher saw the wooden doll being pinched in his hand by Gu Longming, he suddenly became nervous and said, "Give it back to me—" He stretched out his hand and was about to pull it.

    Gu Longming didn't want to let go like this, the two of them pulled a car like this, and the wooden man who didn't explain it at first was torn to shreds.

    "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

    Gu Longming was taken aback by this man's cry, and the conditioned reflex let go, and the wooden man fell to the ground.

    And the library manager picked up the wooden man in a panic, glanced at the statues on the first floor, then turned around and ran in a panic, as if a ghost was chasing him.

    Gu Longming said: "Fuck, how could he have such a thing, could it be—"

    His eyes converged with Lin Qiushi, and the two of them said the answer they thought at the same time: "Could it be that he may have a wish?"

    Now it seems that there is no answer to this question for the time being, but it is clear that the source of everything is Zhu Ruyuan.

    Just when Lin Qiushi and Gu Longming were talking, Lin Qiushi suddenly heard a subtle cracking sound, like something like a stone cracked, he immediately became vigilant, raised his head and looked towards the source of the sound. , but the huge chandelier hanging from the ceiling on the first floor was hanging down.

    "Get out of here!" Lin Qiushi immediately grabbed the two and left the place. As soon as they took two steps forward, the chandelier smashed directly to the ground. It is conceivable that if they were still there, they would be directly attacked like a watermelon. Smashed to pieces.

    It’s not an accident if there are more accidents. It’s not the first time that this kind of thing happened. The glass before and the chandelier now seem to be a countdown to life. He told Ai Wenrui that his life seems to have entered the countdown, and he may be killed by ghosts at any time. take away.

    "I don't know what to do." Ai Wenrui squatted on the ground, as if he was out of his strength, "Am I going to die, I don't want to die..."

    Lin Qiushi said, "Do you still have something to hide from us?"

    Ai Wenrui glanced at Lin Qiushi.

    Gu Longming said: "It's all at this time, your life is about to die, you still refuse to say it?"

    Ai Wenrui was silent for a moment, then whispered, "I don't know if I should say it or not."

    "Why shouldn't I say it?" Lin Qiushi didn't understand what he meant.

    "Because they won't let me talk about it," said Alvin Rui, "they told me to keep it a secret..." He leaned against the wall, "I thought I would keep it a secret for them."

    "What's going on?" Gu Longming asked.

    Ai Wenrui said, "Do you remember the man who survived in the photo? It's the one named Zhou Hanshan."

    Lin Qiushi nodded, indicating that he remembered.

    "He is dating Zhu Ruyuan." Ai Wenrui said, "It's been a long time... at least half a year."

    "What??" Gu Longming couldn't believe it, "He is in love with a dead person?"

    "Yeah, I also think it's incredible." Ai Wenrui was a little lethargic, "but they are indeed in love, and I saw them kissing, but not many people know about it, they have been keeping it a secret..."

    Lin Qiushi waited quietly for him to continue.

    "This game was also proposed by him to play." Ai Wenrui said, "He said that if you are idle, you are idle. Why don't you come to play the campus legends in the school. Some people say that when you play Pen Fairy, there is no reaction after playing, and Zhu Ruyuan will Say you know a more fun way to play."

    Gu Longming: "She took out all these wooden figures?"

    Ai Wenrui said: "Yes, she took it out." He said, "But we are a sculpture society, it's not strange to have these appearances, everyone didn't take it to heart, and then Zhou Hanshan removed the statue from I took it out from the utility room..." He lowered his eyes, as if thinking carefully about what happened that day, "After that, I don't seem to see Zhu Ruyuan."

    "She's gone." Ai Wenrui's speech slowed down, as if trying to restrain the fear in his heart, he said, "Then we went to the statue, cut our own skin, and smeared blood on the wooden man Above, I made my wish... and then my wish came true."

    However, the price of letting the wish come true is the young life of each of them.

    When a statue is put into a library, a person dies. The rigid appearance of these statues seems to have rubbed all the unwilling expressions of the deceased, which is extremely terrifying.

    "Zhou Hanshan, it's him." Ai Wenrui finally understood everything, "He guided us to do this, and he was helping Zhu Ruyuan, so..." He raised his head a little blankly, "He knows Is your girlfriend a dead person?"

    "Don't you know, I'll have to find him." Gu Longming clenched his fists, "This kind of person who cheats friends for his girlfriend is really not a fucking thing."

    "Where might he be now?" Lin Qiushi asked.

    "It may be in the dormitory." Ai Wenrui said, "but... I can't be sure."

    The author has something to say: I will accompany my friend to the hospital tomorrow for the examination project that requires anesthesia. It should be updated at night. I have been going to the hospital during this time. There are a lot of things. I am very sorry. Ah QAQ.
