Resting Place
"You can search here. That person belongs to the principal here. There might be something useful there."
Ji Liuxing looked away and walked out.
"I'm going to be out for a while."
The rotten corpse floated out slowly, following Ji Yunding. Ji Yunding just watched Ji Liuxing walk away, then looked back into the room.
When Ji Ye saw Ji Yunding, his expression became subtly a little awkward, and then he disappeared in a flash.
Most of the spiritual anomalies exist in the cracks of space for a long time and will only appear when people are drawn into the ghost story.
"Newcomer, do you know this thing?" Lin Shu pulled Ji Yunding and looked into the room with some caution.
"I recognize that the core desire of the people of Anle Tomb is not to want pain."
When Ji Yunding saw the barrier disappear, he walked into the room and picked up the torn document.
"Compared to him, the team leader..."
"It's okay, probably." Lin Shu was a little uncertain. "He said not to worry about it... It shouldn't be a big deal for now. Let's wait until there's a strange story?"
Wei Qianqiu thought about it and nodded: "Let's talk about it after the strange story comes out."
"Well... I didn't know the team leader at all before I went to college, so I couldn't trust him like you do."
Ji Yunding raised the document in his hand and spoke seriously,
"Logically, he shouldn't be doing well."
It is very easy to understand that a document torn in half does not affect reading at all.
In other words, Ji Liuxing did something useless in front of the weirdo. This was not normal, Ji Liuxing usually didn't even want to talk to the weirdos.
Therefore, he was bluffing, or giving himself a psychological hint.
This document is quite difficult to deal with. I can't just throw it away, or look at it, and giving it to him again... seems even worse.
Ji Yunding thought about it, folded it casually, and put it in his bag.
It's better than not having it when you want to know.
As for Ji Yunding personally, she believes that human beings are a large group mixed with all kinds of strange people, so it is not surprising that they do anything bad.
What is more important than the bad life or bad things themselves are the people who are hurt by it and the subsequent impact it brings.
"...That's too much." Lin Shu sighed as he searched through the books on the bookshelf.
Ji Changsheng had not spoken since the beginning, just quietly reading a book, and suddenly said: "Ji Yunding, if one group goes out independently, will you go with us?"
"Shut up." Lin Shu knocked Ji Changsheng on the head with the book. "Anyone who asks a child whether he is with his mother or father will go to hell."
"No, Lin Shu, if other people knew about this, it would be a real problem."
Ji Changsheng had no feeling and no reaction to Lin Shu's actions. He just continued,
"More than half of our team members were rescued from the dead by the boss. Even if we don't mention being angry for the boss - if even Ji Liuxing is treated like this by the aristocratic families and the civilized world, shouldn't we think about ourselves?"
Ji Changsheng didn't want to think about things. His head would hurt when he thought about them, but at this point, he couldn't help but think about it.
They were domesticated from birth until they grew up to be willing to fight against the monsters. These people were the same, just to varying degrees.
Most of the pain and misfortune in the lives of this group of people comes from this. Once they start to reflect on this matter, negative emotions will be like a landslide.
"I know, that's why I told you not to tell her this." Lin Shu shook his head, "She is from a civilized world. It's her duty to mix with us, and it's her duty not to mix with us."
"What do you mean by going out on your own?" Ji Yunding asked as he searched.
"Leave the research group and the family, become a free man, set up your own business, and act according to your own ideas. At worst, you can return the resources and keep what you deserve."
Lin Shu explained, with some emotion in his tone,
"You don't have to work so hard on missions. If you're in a good mood, give humans a little help. If you're not in a good mood, just let them die. Anyway, even if the whole world is filled with monsters, we can still survive."
Wei Qianqiu examined the floor silently, seemingly thinking about something.
After a long while, she shook her head and said, "Don't say anything until Ji Liuxing explains."
What happens next? Wei Qianqiu hadn't figured it out yet.
There was silence in the room for a long time. Seeing that Ji Yunding seemed to be worried, Lin Shu rubbed her head.
"Okay, we will definitely still be able to interact with each other in the future, but we may not be able to open the five social insurances and one housing fund. Besides, Ji Liuxing is a very sinister guy, maybe he can still find a way to convince us."
Ji Yunding nodded, and just as he pulled out a book, he discovered a bottomless hole at the back.
Looking inside, Ji Yunding saw a dark room with a red candle burning in the middle. The unique aroma of candle oil was strong and tangy, as if it had been accumulated in the dark room for who knows how long, and was released by Ji Yunding in one breath.
The red candle was half burned, and occasionally the sound of flames exploding could be heard from the wick, illuminating the entire dark room with a dark red light.
"Here..." Ji Yun took two steps back and was about to say something, but found that there was silence around him.
Everyone disappeared, and a piece of paper was taped to the messy bookcase.
【The lights are popping, a guest has arrived. Welcome to the resting place.
1. Please do not go beyond the boundaries.
2. Death here will repeat over and over again, so please try to choose a more peaceful way of death.
3. You cannot interfere with the inevitable death of others; you can only observe the past.
4. You can spend the rest of your life here. 】
“It’s annoying.” Ji Yunding sighed, “A large-scale ghost story set in an exploration-type ghost story… I don’t know how long it will take to get out. I guess the seniors must be worried to death.”
In the classification of ghost stories, they are divided into large and small ghost stories according to their scale, and divided into linear and non-linear according to the clearance process - among them, non-linear is further divided into combat and exploration types.
Of course, to put it in a group of words, it is impossible for Weird to come up with questions completely in the same way as humans classify them. These are just formulas that are of reference value and can provide some ideas.
According to the teachings of the school, we have to test the edge of the rules. Generally speaking, the rules of the world of ghost stories are a distortion of the rules of reality, reflecting the nature of this field of ghost stories.
Fear comes from the unknown, and familiarity can reduce fear. Therefore, in the training of investigators, real-world examples are often used to illustrate strange stories. For example, the gravity of the moon is different from that of the earth, and the gravitational acceleration at the equator is less than that at the poles...
A professor in the general education class often said that humans have only temporarily returned to the uncivilized stage of ignorance and fear when they did not yet understand that bones produce phosphorus and spontaneously combust. One day, humans will definitely be able to conquer this power.
The professor's lectures are very unique, with passionate emotions and enthusiasm, and he speaks with a strong local accent. Therefore, there is a classic joke among the investigators who come from the academic school: it's just phosphorescent fire.
Ji Yunding first went to the edge of the ghost story area - there was a very obvious boundary between light and dark here, and the light outside was so bright and white that it made people uncomfortable.
A figure staggered forward. Ji Yunding was about to speak to it, but he found that it walked straight into the light. Then its body suddenly seemed to be on fire, and soon it turned into ashes and disappeared.
But a few dozen seconds later, Ji Yunding saw the same person walking forward numbly, stepping into the light, and being burned to ashes, over and over again.
"This is really phosphorescence."
Ji Yunding muttered something, but no one around him responded.
Feeling that his words were a bit hellish, Ji Yunding shook his head, put away his messy thoughts, and walked away.
A man was hanged on the swaying tree, struggling to grab the rope with both hands from time to time, his eyes bulging, and gradually he became silent.
After a while, it seemed to come back to life, kicking its legs and struggling uselessly in the air.
Ji Yunding walked around, thought for a while, then used a military shovel to hit the tree trunk to make a hole, and then kicked the not-so-thick tree.
The tree collapsed with a loud bang, and the man fell to the ground, but he still held on to the rope tightly. His breathing gradually became weaker, and finally he died.
"Predetermined death... means that their death has already happened." Ji Yunding muttered to himself. He always felt as if he had vaguely sensed something, but he couldn't grasp it.
Walking to other places, you will see such people from time to time, some drowned, some died suddenly, and some jumped from tall buildings.
Ji Yunding watched with her own eyes as a person turned into a pool of meat paste in front of her. Red, white and yellow were mixed together. The ruptured internal organs, while the intact parts seemed to have not reacted yet, and they jumped weakly twice.
But soon, all of this disappeared, and only a tiny figure could be seen on the upper floor, who seemed to be about to cross the railing.
"Is this the territory of Anle Tomb?" Ji Yunding frowned, then shook his head, "...not likely. Those guys wouldn't torture people like this."
The purpose of the Anle Tomb is to torture people so that they can welcome death. They are indeed mentally ill, but this is not their style.
Walking up the stairs, before reaching the top floor, Ji Yunding heard some noise - it seemed that the person was muttering something.
"For the last time."
This was the last sentence. When Ji Yunding ran up, there was no one there. But Ji Yunding was not in a hurry, he just stood there, waiting for the man to appear again.
Not long after, Ji Yunding saw it staggering towards the railing again.
“No one is alive.
We are all trapped in samsara, there is no difference.
The real tomorrow will never come, and there is no hope anymore.
For the last time. ”
The man muttered to himself and just turned over, seemingly without any reluctance.
Ji Yunding was a little puzzled - since he already knew that he would be trapped in the cycle of reincarnation, why did he deliberately break the rules?
Moreover, the so-called last time...it is obvious that it has been repeating over and over again.
Unless, it's not talking about this weird thing.
Ji Yunding suddenly realized something and immediately rushed to the corridor, climbing several flights of stairs and arriving in front of the nearest "living person" as quickly as possible.
This "person" sat in the classroom, stabbing himself again and again. Looking closely, it seemed to be mumbling something, but no sound came out.
Ji Yunding looked at it for a while, holding his head in annoyance.
I can't understand lip reading.
I can only record it first, and then I have to go out...
"If the world really is restarting over and over again as the team leader said, then..."
Ji Yunding never thought about it too deeply. She didn’t like to worry about uncertain things - but it would be a different matter if there was real evidence.
Ji Liuxing had deliberately downplayed the incident and repeatedly stressed that it was just his guess, probably because he realized the seriousness of the matter. He wanted Ji Yunding to be mentally prepared, but was also worried that it would affect her too much.
All the pain will repeat itself, all the tragedy will have no end. Everything is in vain, everything is false.
Ji Yunding was even wondering now whether she had done the very thing she was doing countless times before.
"Calm down and think from a different perspective."
Ji Yunding whispered while recording,
"What is their purpose in bringing me here? This is not the territory of Anle Tomb, but it is very likely that Polar Night dragged me into this strange story.
We can’t rule out the possibility of that rotten corpse... They are not good things, so we shouldn’t think too much about it. We should get out first.
Moreover, judging from Wei Yiji’s performance, the so-called ‘past’ and the present are not exactly the same…”
After figuring out the situation, Ji Yunding quickly calmed down and formulated an action plan.
First, record what everyone says, and at the same time find a way out as quickly as possible.
In the 57th year of the New Calendar...what happened?
The lakeside, teaching buildings, cafeteria... it took Ji Yunding three full hours to run through the entire university - and he did so even though he unconsciously sped up his pace.
There were no clues, so Ji Yunding finally returned to the principal's office, looking at the hole in the wall at the beginning, wanting to observe the changes in the red candle, but he found that the opposite side was blood red and he could not see anything.
Ji Yunding was stunned for a moment, then he found that the blood-red seemed to flow from time to time, and there was also some strange white color, so he turned on the flashlight and shone it inside.
A huge cockroach crawled out through the hole and quickly crawled back in.
Well, the haunting continues.
But compared to the rotting corpse, Ji Yunding noticed that there was an inexplicable thing that was also pushed out by the cockroaches.
"...Where did the chalk come from?"
Ji Yunding picked up the blood-stained chalk and looked at it for a long time, somewhat confused.
Anyway, put it in your pocket first and talk about it later.
Ji Yunding was about to leave when he suddenly stopped.
If the past can really be observed here, if reincarnation really exists...
“If I were to leave a message for myself, where would I leave it?”
Ji Yunding whispered to himself,
"It must not be discovered by other visitors whose purpose is unknown, and it must be something I can think of."
Only there.
