033. Curse
More than twenty minutes later.
At the gate of Columbia University, a shabby rectangular classic car slowly stopped. Gu Xing got out of the car and walked towards the school.
Time is the most forgotten. I haven’t been to Columbia University for more than a month. Not many people remember the hero who saved people now.
Gu Xing walked on the campus of Columbia University, just like an ordinary person. The students around him walked together in groups of three or five, and there were also many students walking alone like Gu Xing.
It's around 10 o'clock in the morning now, and there are not many people in the school, but not very few.
Gu Xing followed the memory, shuttled through the crowd, and walked towards the school building of the Department of Biology.
As he walked, Gu Xing suddenly noticed that the students around him began to speed up and were walking quickly towards a certain school building. At the same time, many low-key discussions came.
"Hurry up! Someone is going to jump off the building and commit suicide!"
"Why are some people jumping off the building again?! Didn't someone jump off the building and commit suicide last week?!"
"How many of these are you here?"
"Everyone said this is a curse! More than a month ago, after the girl named Lisa started jumping off the building, she has jumped three times in the past month! This is the fourth one! You guys are going to go! I won't go!"
"Shh! Ronnie, keep quiet! The principal has said that such rumors are not allowed in the school! The police are already investigating this matter. My friend's father is one of the police officers responsible for investigating this matter. I heard that the case has been filed as a serial murder case. If you say this again, be careful that the school will sue you in court!"
"Anyway, I won't go see it anymore! If you want to go, you guys!"
Among the seven students next to him, a thin boy shook his head and left the crowd, leaving in the opposite direction.
The rest of the people couldn't help feeling embarrassed when they looked at him.
Gu Xing walked past the group of people and his brows frowned slightly.
"Last time I rescued the girl named Lisa and jumped off the building, and three more incidents happened in the more than a month after that?!"
Gu Xing remembered another conscious thought that he saw in Lisa, the girl who jumped off the building last time, and couldn't help but frown.
Previously, he suspected that there was another strange thing in Columbia University killing people, but at that time, no other strange thing was found at the scene of jumping off the building. So he regarded the consciousness thinking of Lisa, a girl who jumped off the building, as the so-called "evil spirit".
Originally, after saving the girl named Lisa, he was preparing to invade with consciousness and investigate the "evil spirit", but unfortunately he was interrupted by Professor Vaughan's sudden intrusion into the medical room.
After that, the "evil spirit" consciousness disappeared on its own.
Soon afterwards, Gu Xing and Erica embarked on a journey to Seattle, and had no time to investigate the "evil spirit".
But unexpectedly, when he returned to Columbia University more than a month later, three suicides occurred in jumping off the building... No, it happened everywhere! Now it happened again!
"Are these suicides that jumped off the building all caused by that 'evil spirit'?"
Gu Xing thought, people followed the crowd toward the school building where jumped off the building and committed suicide.
Soon, passing through two school buildings, Gu Xing came to the dormitory building of a school building. From a distance, Gu Xing saw a large group of people gathering down the dormitory building, looking up at the upstairs of the dormitory building.
Gu Xing looked in the direction these people were looking at and found a girl standing on the edge of the roof of the dormitory building, hanging in a slump.
"It's indeed that 'evil spirit' again!"
Now Gu Xing's consciousness is much stronger than he had been a month ago. From a distance, he saw the girl standing on the edge of the roof of the dormitory building. He was entangled by the "evil spirit" consciousness he saw more than a month ago, interfering with his own independent consciousness.
At this time, downstairs of the dormitory, a group of students kept taking out quilts and other items from the dormitory, piled up and placed them downstairs of the dormitory, and tried their best to take rescue measures.
On the roof of the dormitory building, behind the girl, several men and women who looked like teachers were constantly talking to dissuade the girl.
Unfortunately, the girl looked dull... or in other words, she was a little distracted and her mouth was constantly murmuring:
“…I long to reflect your richest perfection,
Never be too old because of blindness or too old
So unable to lift your heavy shaking image.
I should open it.
I don't want to stay in the place of all deception and distortion;
Because I will become unfaithful and untrue.
Before you, I long for my conscience
Can be real,
I hope to describe myself as if I had watched it for a long time
A painting, it is close to me,
Like a new word I have learned and understood,
Like the kettle every day,
Like my mother's face,
It's still like a boat, it takes me alone
Travel through that deadly storm…”
With the five senses of qualitative change of Gu Xing, you can see the lip syllable of the girl standing on the edge of the roof of the dormitory building. After the lip syllable comparison, you can find the poem that the girl read in your memory.
This is Rilke's poem "I'm Too Lonely in This World".
Like the girl who committed suicide by jumping off the building before, this girl kept reciting poems before jumping off the building. However, the last time the girl named Lisa read Byron's "Spring Death".
Gu Xing couldn't think of the connection between these two poems for a moment.
At this time, he had already walked into the crowd gathering downstairs of the dormitory.
On the top of the dormitory building, the girl standing on the edge of the dormitory building had not yet jumped down, and the students gathered around were watching with fear.
Downstairs of the dormitory, the students living in the dormitory spontaneously took out the quilts from the dormitory and piled them downstairs. From the perspective of Gu Xing standing, the teachers who were dissuading the roof could no longer be seen, but the vague sounds of the words that reached his ears could also let him understand the picture on the roof.
What these people don’t know is that the girl can no longer jump off.
Because Gu Xing had formed a wall of thoughts in front of the girl who jumped off the building, the girl could not take a step forward at all.
This time, he did not choose to stand up to save people like he did last time, but instead changed to this gentle and low-key method.
Standing downstairs, Gu Xing raised his head and squinted his eyes at the girl who was about to jump off the building to commit suicide. He looked at the girl's consciousness thinking line radiating from her eyes, ears, mouth and nose. Another thread of thinking line tangled is the "evil spirit" consciousness.
"Let me see if you are an 'evil spirit' or a 'curse'!"
I didn't find out what this "evil spirit" was last time, so of course Gu Xing would not miss the opportunity this time.
He will stay at Columbia University for a while in the future. If there is such a thing in the school, he always feels like his territory is being violated.
With his personality, of course, it is better to understand it as soon as possible and then clear it up.
Saving people is just a way to do it.
