In dormitory 606.
Tang Xinjue spread out several cutout news reports on the table. These were information they had obtained from other classmates about a murder case on campus.
"It shows that a week ago, in the evening of the previous day, in a male dormitory building in the southwest corner of the dormitory area, one boy jumped from a building, and another boy committed suicide in the bathroom. Two other boys have become mentally ill and have also engaged in self-harming behaviors. They are currently receiving emergency treatment in the hospital."
At first, the school wanted to simply define it as students committing suicide due to unbearable pressure, but this was quickly rejected - the four roommates had successful academic performance, happy family backgrounds, good interpersonal relationships, and no depressive tendencies, yet they suddenly agreed to commit suicide at the same time and place. How small is the probability of this happening?
"There are some details that have not been publicly revealed. According to private rumors, the death scene was very bloody. The student's mobile phone and computer sent out a message for help, but all relatives and friends did not receive it until the next day."
While summarizing, Tang Xinjue picked up the pen and wrote under the clue: - Suspected signal blocking.
Zhang You added: "For this reason, the police suspect this was a falsified suicide murder. The relevant surveillance footage has been removed, and all of the boys' relatives and friends are being investigated. The results have not yet been announced."
Most of this information was found from outside by connecting to the campus network through computers in the computer room.
Although the news did not mention the specific dormitory numbers and student information, they still managed to find the following information:
The casualties were all members of a four-person dormitory in Room 612, Building 19.
"612..." Guo Guo took a breath.
Tang Xin Jue: "That's right. We're directly across from the room now—the dormitory where the movie's protagonist, Jin Wen, and her friends live. It's also room 612."
Coincidence? In a horror movie, the possibility of this is obviously very small.
——Even though the system thinks it is an outrageous comedy movie.
Tang Xin Jue pressed his eyebrows and said, "According to the information just revealed by Jin Wen's roommates, the night they performed the yellow paper fortune-transfer spell was exactly one week ago."
On the same night, four boys from dormitory 612 committed suicide, while four girls from another dormitory 612 left their names and hair on yellow paper without knowing anything.
The moment a death ends is also the moment a new cult begins.
They shuddered silently, and several people looked at the clues of the school case that had been sorted out, and found that they were still shrouded in mystery and not very clear.
The most bizarre thing is that even though such a horrific case had happened on campus, when they went to check it out, the boys' dormitory building was still accessible and the students looked as relaxed as usual.
The four pretended to be community reporters and captured several people for interviews. They did not show any fear when they talked about it. They just seemed to know nothing about anything, as if nothing had happened.
Even the area around the accident site was so strange, no wonder the whole school hadn't felt tense at all. If they hadn't gone to the school gate and walked around, they might not have noticed what had happened.
"If I had known earlier, I would have found a way to sneak into that dormitory building and take a look at the crime scene. Maybe I could find some clues."
Zheng Wanqing frowned.
Guo Guo was incredulous: "Are you crazy? The four people next to us are still alive, and they look like this. The dead must have even more resentment. If we really go, we might have to face four bosses!"
If you can come out safe and sound, it will be considered a courtesy of the copy.
Putting the murder case aside for now, the four turned their attention back to the present moment. Tang Xinjue wrote another Dormitory 612 (Female) below the first Dormitory 612 (Male), along with four names:
Jin Wen, Wei Xian, Cao Rou, and Zhou Xing.
The movie test asked who among the four people would "die first." Since Jin Wen had already been denied by the system, she could only find the answer among the remaining three girls.
"Wei Xian is the originator of the Yellow Paper Luck Borrowing Technique. She said it was taught to her by her master. Simply writing your name and hair on it can boost your luck, romance, and wealth. It's not impossible that she was the first to be stabbed, and the other two roommates were just cannon fodder with no opinions of their own. It makes sense that the cannon fodder would be stabbed first."
Guo Guo, a fan of the supernatural, couldn't figure it out and could only conclude with a bitter regret: "If this kind of magic were to appear in a novel, I'd find it retarded. It's clearly a perverse and unorthodox method!"
Not to mention that there is a high probability that these are ineffective scams, even if they do work, nine out of ten times they will hurt others and yourself.
Of course, the protagonist of a horror movie would never realize this in advance. Now the yellow paper bag has been hanging at the door of 612 for a week, and except for Jin Wen, the other three roommates have begun to behave obviously abnormally.
Just now, they not only rushed in to try to engage in pyramid schemes, but also secretly left a lot of tools in the dormitory. Tang Xinjue found them all immediately and let Jin Wen take them back in the same condition.
"Luckily those things weren't left behind. I just felt the dorm was filled with gloomy air and was extremely cold. It felt much better once they left."
Guo Guo breathed a sigh of relief.
Not only her, Tang Xin Jue also immediately used his [Identification] skill. "The results show that the four of them are now alive and not possessed. They are probably just mentally affected."
From this point of view, their crazy state is somewhat similar to that of the four people in male dormitory 612.
"So, if we observe the four of them from now on, can we find out who died first?"
Zhang You's proposal is undoubtedly feasible, but there is a more practical problem:
How can you observe the other person while ensuring your own safety?
Guo Guo regretted it deeply: "If I had known earlier, I would have saved the points to buy the ghost-exorcising talisman."
There are no advanced runes, so I can only repair the detection table I bought before and stick it on the door to act as an alarm.
“Ding ding ding ding—”
Almost the moment it was put on, the alarm started blaring like crazy, as if... the dormitory door was being attacked!
The people in the room were startled, and Guo Guo was even more frightened and got goose bumps all over his body. "It's over, has something happened over there?"
Tang Xinjue frowned and stepped forward: "Let me take a look."
She put her hands against the door and closed her eyes.
It felt icy cold at first, not a normal chill, but the aggressive chill unique to darkness. It spread upward along the tentacles of perception, revealing the malice hidden beneath the chill... Ultimately, as perception converged, all the malice pointed to a single source.
She opened her eyes again and said, "It's the yellow paper package hanging on the door next door."
"It's continuously radiating some kind of negative influence, not only to Dormitory 612, but also to us here."
"Shit!" Guo Guo angrily grabbed his hair. "Should we take that thing off? Otherwise, it will affect us too, and we'll be in big trouble."
Zhang You disagreed: "What if removing the yellow paper bag also triggers the death condition?"
It is now certain that the so-called yellow paper fortune-changing technique is definitely some kind of evil method, and it is even very likely to be inextricably linked to the headless ghost and the 612 male dormitory murder case, but they are now unsure how to solve it.
Tang Xinjue thought about it and asked the other three to wait inside the house first.
Then she opened the door, walked over and knocked on the door of the dormitory opposite.
Not long after, the door creaked open, revealing half of Wei Xian's fair face. Her gaze fell on Tang Xinjue, and the corners of her mouth widened. "You finally came to your senses. Are you here to get the yellow paper?"
"No." Tang Xinjue shook his head and frowned. "The air conditioner in our dormitory is broken. Jin Wen said she could fix it, but she hasn't come yet. Can you let her out for a moment?"
“…”
Wei Xian looked a little suspicious. She stared at Tang Xinjue for a few seconds and refused in a mute voice, "Jin Wen is not in the dormitory right now."
Just as the door was about to close, Tang Xinjue quickly held it in place and gently asked, "Can I take up a moment of your time?"
"Actually..." She lowered her voice, "We have a secret we've always wanted to tell you. Your roommate used to bring many boyfriends home without telling you, and there are many other secrets, but usually you're all here, so we can't bring ourselves to tell you. Now that you're in our dorm, we'll take advantage of them being away and quietly tell you all these big secrets."
A glimmer of light gradually returned to Wei Xian's flat and indifferent eyes. She opened her mouth, as if wanting to express shock and doubt, but she couldn't find any motive for Tang Xinjue to lie.
In the end, facing the "secret", Wei Xian was still shaken. She crawled out of dormitory 612. Cao Rou and Zhou Xing's questions were heard in the room, but Wei Xian impatiently evaded them and couldn't wait to follow Tang Xinjue.
The moment before, she had just stepped into dormitory 606 when Tang Xinjue closed the door behind her.
Wei Xian's movements were obviously stiffer than a normal person's, but that didn't stop her from urging him: "I'm the only one here now, so hurry up and tell me."
The door was locked, and Tang Xinjue's smile remained unchanged: "Yes, now that you are alone, we can talk it out."
The author has something to say: Wei Xian: Even if I have to become a ghost, I will use my last bit of sanity to eat melons
