Chapter VII Holding the Ceremony
The evening self-study ended at nine o'clock. After a brief tidy up, the three of them walked out of the classroom together. Wu Yue and Song Yichun were moving faster and were already waiting for them at the door.
"Go back to the dormitory quickly, I can't wait." Along the way, Wu Yue danced excitedly, constantly urging others to speed up. Thinking of the posts I saw online, Mu Yu Xiaohan also spoke: "By the way, Yueyue, where did you learn how to hold this ceremony?"
"I heard that it seemed to be leaked from the school forum two or three years ago, but now the post has been deleted long ago." Wu Yue said: "I only learned after hearing from other people's talk about it. In fact, it's not complicated..."
"Two or three years ago?" Jiang Li immediately captured the clue in Wu Yue's speech: "In other words, someone really committed suicide before?"
"I don't know. I heard that they committed suicide outside the school. Regarding this matter, the school is also afraid of causing adverse effects in society, so it handled it very low-key." Song Yichun said.
"Where is another girl who has not yet died?" Mu Yuxiaohan asked Jiang Li's most concerned question.
However, Wu Yue and others just shook their heads in confusion, saying that they were not clear about what happened next. Some people said that the girl was crazy; some people said that she never showed up after taking a year off from school; but most rumors ended similarly: the girl who was not dead at that time was still alive.
Otherwise, the female ghost's resentment would not have been wandering around the school, waiting for her best friend to come to the appointment.
Because it was a private aristocratic school, the environment of the girls' dormitory here was better than Jiang Li's imagination. Looking at the milky white European-style building in front of him and the windows with orange lights, he suddenly became nervous: It was the first time he had lived for so long that he walked into the girls' dormitory openly.
When Jiang Li passed by the door of the dormitory and looked at the dormitory manager, he even felt guilty.
The dormitory of several people is located on the third floor, which is at the peak of evening bathing. The corridor is filled with misty water vapor, and the air is filled with refreshing shampoos. The laughter and joy of girls can be heard everywhere.
When he followed Wu Yue and others upstairs, Jiang Li's heart beat fast. Although he knew that this was the game setting, when he was really in such an environment, Jiang Li still couldn't convince himself to stick to it.
"I'll run another 800 meters this week, it's so annoying~"
"Hey, have you lost weight recently? Your collarbone has become much more obvious..."
"Yes, but you've gained a lot of weight recently."
"No, no!"
"I mean you're fatter in front--"
"Let me see if it's true~"
When a few girls in cool clothes were laughing and joking, Jiang Li covered his face directly, his ears turned red. Mu Yu Xiaohan looked sideways, remembering the performance of Tina's exposure last time in Thailand, a smile appeared in his eyes.
After returning to the dormitory, Wu Yue was about to take a shower. Gao Ruoyao originally wanted to pull Jiang Li with him, but he found a reason to shirke him. After the three of them left, Jiang Li got up and locked the door, breathing a lot of relief.
"Long time no see, Sister Xiao." Looking at Mu Yu Xiaohan who was leaning against the window with his arms in his arms, Jiang Li smiled at the other party at first, pointed at himself uncomfortable, and stammered: "Well, I... now... you understand too. So many things are not what I think of. So when you need help, I have to trouble you..."
"I understand." Seeing him look embarrassed, Mu Yu Xiaohan immediately understood what the other party meant.
Jiang Li grabbed his head with a little embarrassed expression and then said, "I didn't expect to meet you in this dungeon. Is it really destined to... After the last time I returned, are you in good condition?"
Mu Yu Xiaohan didn't say anything, but nodded and replied softly: "It's okay."
Seeing that she seemed unwilling to talk more, Jiang Li did not force her, but instead shifted the topic to the task: "When I first signed up, I saw that the number of players in this dungeon was six, which means that there were four players assigned here, but they should be in other grades."
Jiang Li believes that since the mission requires players to participate in the soul-summoning ceremony, the other four players must be dragged to play this game tonight, just like them.
"I thought this was a strange story that had been circulating for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be two or three years ago. I think from tomorrow, I can start investigating the murders that happened in the past; in addition, I can't figure out some things about the momojiang I posted." Jiang Li said.
Judging from the situation of that post, B should have been killed. As for momo Jiang and her best friend A, it is probably a bit of a disaster.
This incident happened three months ago, and it should have caused a lot of sensation in the school. However, from just now, Jiang Li has not heard anything about the disappearance or death of students from Wu Yue and the others, and even no negative news about Shengya Academy can be found on the Internet.
"Momo Jiang mentioned that B went crazy in public and had many witnesses in the matter of taking a break from school, but so far, I have never heard everyone mention it. Leaving a post is to provide clues to our players, but after the incident happened, it did not cause a stir on campus. It seems that there must be room for intervention behind this. Otherwise, if these girls knew that the game was so dangerous, they would not have tried it rashly." Thinking of what these girls were about to face next, Jiang Li sighed.
"This is a second-level task, which will only be more difficult than before. Instead of having the time to care about others, think about how to save yourself first." Mu Yu Xiaohan understood what he was worried about. In fact, she was not disgusted with Jiang Li, and had a good impression of him. Unfortunately, she was not good at communicating with others. She clearly wanted to comfort the other person, but she said it but changed her taste.
"Sister Xiao is right, I'm thinking too much." Jiang Li smiled bitterly, then sat silently beside the bed and began to think about his next plan.
The atmosphere in the house became deserted for a moment. The two were full of worries and no one spoke again. It was not until Gao Ruoyao and others washed and returned that the atmosphere returned.
At about 11:30, after the dormitory manager turned off the lights and left, Wu Yue sat up from the bed with the lights of his cell phone and began to greet everyone to prepare for the soul-summoning ceremony.
Song Yichun pulled up the balcony curtains and locked the toilet and door. After doing this, Wu Yue took out a box of matches, lit all five candles, and distributed them to everyone.
She placed a mirror on the ground in the middle of the dormitory and placed a bowl of clear water. Then, she wrapped the red lines around the end of everyone's little finger.
"You put the candle in front of yourself." Wu Yue took out a needle and said to them: "After piercing your finger, squeeze a drop of blood into the bowl, and then you can sit down with your hands."
According to the method she said, several girls dripped blood into the bowl in turn. Wu Yue told them to sit down hand in hand and hold hands and call them. If they don’t hear the sound of the mirror breaking, they must not open their eyes. And all of this is exactly the same as described in the momojiang post.
"What happens if you open your eyes?" Gao Ruoyao asked nervously.
"I don't know either." Wu Yue thought for a while: "This is probably the same as asking for a pen fairy. If you open your eyes, you may not be able to send it away."
"No, I...I'm afraid..." Song Yichun's voice began to tremble when she heard her say this.
However, Wu Yue did not intend to give her a chance to repent, but raised the volume and let everyone close their eyes, and then said: "It's beginning! No one can repent now. Read with me..."
"Let us swear, on the same day, at the same time, to die together."
“When someone breaks his promise, promise to complete his death mission in other ways.”
"If anyone is unwilling to obey, then ask the gods to surrender to death to defend this vow not to be violated."
When he recited this creepy oath to death, Jiang Li felt a chill suddenly surge from the soles of his feet.
I don’t know if it was my own illusion. After he finished repeating, the leaves outside the dormitory window were suddenly blown by the wind, and the leaves slapped the window. The tiny sounded like someone slowly slashed through the glass with his nails.
Chapter completed!
