Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Female Ghost.
The dormitory building was fine when there was light, but it was pitch black at night and very scary. Climbing up one floor after another was like an endless loop horror game.
But Tao Ying didn't believe in ghosts, so she just felt bored.
The dormitory elevator is still not repaired.
Tao Ying lay on Lin Biege's back and yawned.
"Lin Biege, climbing to the fourteenth floor is tiring. Let me tell you a story."
"Oh, you say."
"There is a legend about the dormitory building of this school."
Tao Ying's voice became lower.
"A student returned to her dormitory late at night and slowly climbed the stairs while browsing her phone. She climbed for a long time, her legs were sore, and when she looked up, she found herself on the fourth floor."
"She thought it was a bit strange, but thought she was just too engrossed in her phone and hadn't noticed, so she put her phone away and continued climbing."
"Gradually, she realized something was wrong."
"She climbed up floor by floor, and every time she looked up, every time she stepped onto a new floor, she always saw the fourth floor."
Just as they reached the fourth floor, Tao Ying stopped talking. Lin Biege shuddered and turned his head tremblingly.
Lin Biege: "Well, then what?"
The student walked for a long time, her legs growing weak and her heart beating rapidly. Finally, she realized she was trapped in this space. No matter whether she went up or down, she always ended up on the fourth floor. She looked at the corridor, which grew deeper with each climb, swallowed her saliva, and finally decided to enter the fourth-floor hallway.
"And just as I stepped into the corridor, the door behind me suddenly slammed shut! The students pounded on the door like crazy. At this moment, a breath came close behind me—"
Tao Ying leaned close to the back of Lin Biege's neck, and it felt like someone was breathing on his back.
Lin Biege almost jumped up in fright.
Tao Ying's lips curled up slightly: "Are you afraid of ghosts?"
"Whoever is afraid, you continue."
"All right."
Tao Ying shrugged and continued telling the story.
"The student turned around in horror and saw no one behind him, but a huge mirror hanging on the wall."
"She was in the mirror, her back pressed against the door, panicking and at a loss, her face filled with fear."
"But the next moment, she was still in the mirror."
"More than that, she had this weird smile."
"Then, the person in the mirror slowly raised his hands. Those hands climbed up her body and circled her neck—"
"The student was suffocating and could only watch those hands tightening more and more through the mirror."
"—tightening and tightening."
Lin Biege's body gradually stiffened.
At first, when listening to Tao Ying's ghost stories, Lin Biege could still respond with a few words, but as the stories became more and more scary, Lin Biege stopped talking and walked faster and faster as if his heels were wearing exoskeletons.
At the corner of the stairs to the last floor, Lin Biege breathed a sigh of relief—the ghost story was over! No endless fourth floor! No female ghost either!
Lin Biege pouted and said, "Don't come to help me next time. Not only do I have to repay the favor, but I'll also be scared by your ghost stories along the way."
"Then of course I will help you next time."
Tao Ying burst out laughing.
"As for ghost stories, there's nothing to be afraid of. The living are much scarier than the dead."
Tao Ying leaned close to Lin Biege's ear.
"But it's true. Although you're carrying me on your back right now, as you walk, it might be someone else on your back, and the hands on your neck might actually be—"
"Hello!"
"Xiao Lin, you are so timid?" "So what!"
Tao Ying touched his chin and said, "Nothing. I just took your fear of ghosts into consideration."
Lin Biege's song is incredible.
Can this also be related to tactics?
"There are ghosts on the battlefield?"
"Who knows, maybe putting a female ghost behind you can stimulate your fighting potential."
The two of them walked down the stairs to the corridor. Everyone was asleep at this time, and the corridor was dim and very quiet, but there was still light on in one dormitory.
The dormitory door was ajar, a cold light filtering through. On the door were a bunch of pink rhinestone stickers of beautiful anime girls, put there by Lin Biege.
That’s right, 1404, their dormitory.
But why is the door open?
"You didn't close the door?" Lin Biege looked puzzled and lifted Tao Ying onto his back twice.
"It's closed." Tao Ying also looked a little strange.
Lin Biege: "Don't give me that. You're trying to scare me again. I won't be fooled this time."
"I really didn't scare you this time."
Tao Ying had just put her feet on the ground and had not yet finished her words when Xiao Lin inserted his leg into the crack of the door, and the door of the old and dilapidated dormitory creaked open.
A cool breeze blows.
Tao Ying's gaze naturally fell on the windowsill.
A girl sat on the edge of the windowsill with her legs dangling in the air, her legs swaying gently. Her frail body looked as if a gust of wind could blow her off.
The skin was as pale as paper, and half of the face was covered by clear hair.
Hearing the voice, the girl turned around and looked over here with her cat-like light golden pupils. Her eyes were wide open and there were still traces of tears in the corners of her eyes.
Oh, a bit like an elf in a fairy tale.
Tao Ying touched his chin.
Lin Biege's hands trembled: "Ghost, ghost, ghost, ghost!"
The "female ghost" sat there, seemingly frightened by Lin Biege. She stepped back a bit, and her body became even more shaky.
When she was about to lose her balance, Tao Ying stepped forward and grabbed the "female ghost".
The girl grabbed Tao Ying's arm tightly, fell into the house, and hugged her. Then she glanced out the window, as if she was still frightened.
It seems that he doesn't want to jump.
That's easy.
Tao Ying calmly held the girl's hand, looked into her eyes, and slowly soothed her: "Don't be afraid, come down slowly."
The girl's rapid breathing gradually calmed down.
She nodded, climbed down with Tao Ying's hand, then squatted on the ground, hugged her knees, and trembled all over.
Tao Ying pinched her sore arm.
This girl looks light and airy, but her hands are surprisingly strong.
Lin Biege finally reacted and snapped, "Why are you sitting in such a dangerous place? Who are you and why are you in our dormitory?"
Lin Biege wanted to say something else, but the girl must have been frightened by her. She opened her mouth and couldn't speak for a while.
Tao Ying shook her head.
"Let her take it easy first."
The door was opened with a key, and there was a pile of half-opened luggage next to the bed, with freshman admission information and ID cards on top.
This person is not a female ghost, but the "mysterious roommate No. 3" who has never appeared in their dormitory.
Tao Ying poked Lin Biege and signaled with her eyes.
Lin Biege was still confused at first, but after Tao Ying's reminder, she suddenly remembered. Yes, the roommate in their dormitory who had never reported to school was called... Pumpkin?
"South Gua."
Yes, yes, that’s the name.
Okay, the question of why she is here is solved.
But what's more important now is why is she sitting on the windowsill so late at night?
It can't be that you want to blow dry the wind.
Tao Ying stared at the empty windowsill, her thoughts suddenly becoming a little vague. She didn't speak for a long time. Lin Biege gave her a puzzled look.
"Why are you suddenly daydreaming?"
Tao Ying blinked and came back to her senses.
"Nothing, just reminded me of my first love."
"You? First love? How can someone as calculating as you be able to be so innocent?" Lin Biege looked incredulous.
Tao Ying said seriously: "Of course, I am a romantic."
"Okay, if you say so, then so be it. But what about Nan Gua-san reminds you of your first love?"
"Hmm..." Tao Ying thought carefully, analyzed carefully, and came to a conclusion, "They are all very beautiful?"
There was also a sense of broken innocence about him.
"Okay, I know your first love is beautiful," Lin Biege gritted his teeth, "You should think of a way. She's still crying. Her tears are like barbecue skewers."
That’s right, it’s obvious that Kobayashi is only good at eating barbecue and not good at coaxing people.
Tao Ying understood what she meant and took two steps forward, but not too close. After Nan Gua calmed down, Tao Ying picked up the crumpled professional instructions on her desk.
"Do you like mecha literature?"
·
Once the conversation started, it was easy to get to the point. Under Tao Ying's guidance, the new roommate slowly explained her situation.
Nan Gua comes from a small planet in the third galaxy. His dream has always been to study mecha literature at Lai University.
Nan Gua had good grades, so even though his family was poor, he was able to go to high school with the help of a scholarship.
She happily filled out her application and waited to go to Leimen to study, but the moment she saw the admission letter, she felt like she was struck by lightning.
Her volunteer application was secretly changed by her guardian.
"Leimen University Mecha Special Academy"?
How can Nan Gua drive a mecha?
The guardian said with confidence that it would be good for her to go back to work after driving the mecha.
"Who will take care of your brother if you leave? If you don't want to study, you can stay and take care of the family. Or find someone to marry. We don't have money to pay for your tuition." The guardian said while coaxing the younger brother.
I didn't take changing my major seriously at all.
Nan Gua had a huge argument with her guardian over this, but the fait accompli couldn't be changed. After a few days of grief, she used the savings she had accumulated over the years to buy a boat ticket and, without telling anyone, dragged her suitcase to Leimen.
At the same time, he resolutely deleted all contact information of the guardian.
This was the most extraordinary thing she had ever done in her little life.
At that time, she still felt that as long as she could leave the third galaxy, even if it was a major she was not good at, she could change her life.
But when she arrived in Leimen, she found that the Jite College of Leimen University was a third-rate college.
So what happened just now happened. She sat on the windowsill, wanting to get some fresh air to calm down.
"Sorry, I felt a little dead just now." Nan Gua sighed.
"I understand." "It's human nature." "Me too."
"But what kind of field is mecha literature? Can Chinese characters be arranged and combined like this?"
"It's a comprehensive major involving mecha philosophy, history, and future exploration... I heard the graduation project is to build your own mecha world."
...doesn't sound very profitable.
Seeing that the other person's eyes were less sad, Tao Ying took a step forward, closed the distance, and handed her a tissue.
Nan Gua sniffed and moved forward in his chair.
"Were you also tricked into coming here by Lai Da's title?"
Tao Ying simply explained that she originally wanted to study mecha systems, but for various reasons she was now forced to drive a mecha here.
"We share the same suffering," Nan Gua sighed repeatedly, and then asked Lin Biege, "What about you?"
"I... don't think so. My score isn't good enough to get into Lai University," Lin Biege scratched his head. "I came here for the food in the cafeteria—even though I got cheated."
The three of them became familiar with each other quickly because of their similar experiences. Just then, the teacher sent a message saying that something urgent had happened and the class was postponed.
They huddled in the dorm room and chatted for hours.
After dinner time, Lin Biege was eating and playing games.
Nan Gua accepted the reality, took out his laptop, borrowed Tao Ying's notes, and began to make up for the courses he had missed during this period.
Tao Ying was so tired that she felt like she had been run over by a car dozens of times. She took a five-hour nap before waking up groggily.
Today is the last day for team formation in the mecha course. Tao Ying turned on the computer and started filling out forms.
Lin Biege joined the team. A team needs three people, and the remaining one...
Tao Ying turned sideways.
"The course team formation deadline is tomorrow. Pumpkin, have you found a teammate yet?"
Nan Gua was chewing on dried meat. When he heard Tao Ying's words, he suddenly raised his head and almost choked.
Nan Gua asked cautiously, "What team?"
"Mecha courses require teams of three to four."
Obviously, Nan Gua had just arrived at the school and had just completed the admission procedures, so he had no chance to know about this matter.
"Is the deadline tomorrow? But, but I don't know how to fly a mech, and I don't know anyone at school," Nan Gua said nervously, starting to sweat. "What if no one wants to team up with me? What if I fail the course? What if I can't pass the make-up exam, and I have to repeat the grade, and ultimately I can't even graduate?"
The Nan Gua was visibly beginning to feel anxious.
She paced back and forth like a zoo animal, finally opening the window and trying to cool down with some fresh air.
After a moment, Nan Gua turned his head and smiled miserably: "I really still want to die."
Tao Ying said seriously, "If you're worried about not being able to find teammates, you can join our team. We're just short of people."
Nan Gua's eyes were filled with tears: "Is it okay? But I'm not very capable and will be a burden to you."
"You are quite good, there is no burden at all."
Nan Gua thought about it, nodded, and climbed down from the windowsill.
"Well, then I won't die yet. Add me to the team. Thank you, Xiaoying."
"You're welcome. Congratulations on living another day."
Tao Ying turned her head.
"Xiaolin, what's your opinion?"
Lin Biege: "...I have no objection."
Now it was her turn to feel a little suicidal.

Teammates have initially gathered——[Spread flowers]
