Chapter 57 Grave Numbers Above All 19 Sixth Middle School
Rumors in schools are often diverse and widely circulated, some even lasting from one class to the next.
If we're talking about who knows the most clearly, besides the person involved and the teacher, it would be the members of the journalism club and the school's archivist. Coincidentally, the girl who jumped off the building had been one of them, and her literary talent earned her many extra opportunities.
Perhaps because it was rare to have such a good friend, they talked about everything and had similar family situations and states of mind. The girl who jumped off the building couldn't help but tell a seemingly true legend.
Rumor has it that the school's rules have been in place for many years and are very strict every year. Initially, No. 6 Middle School was not the best school in the city. Thanks to the strict rules, the students studied hard and dared not violate them. Every time they were assigned to a less prestigious school, they would eventually do very well under the pressure.
However, such oppressive rules cannot remain without problems forever. About three years later, a new student couldn't take it anymore and jumped off a building. The explanation given at the time was that a classmate didn't like the deceased, so the deceased was unhappy in life and suffered a depression that led to suicide.
Once it happens, it will happen again. Every year there will be some accidents. Over time, it becomes very clear that those who die are all high-achieving students, or at the very least, those who are outstanding in a single subject and are considered "semi-excellent".
As more and more people died, a legend spread: if you find the most important item that the top student who died back then had, you can invite the student's soul to help you complete your studies, and there is not much cost to it. However, the student's requirements are similar to those of the school: his grades must keep getting better and better.
So later, the school produced some surprisingly outstanding students. At first, their grades didn't seem particularly good, hovering in the middle, but after a certain point, their grades improved by leaps and bounds, making them the top students in their grade and even able to participate in competitions and win awards.
In more common parlance, students only suddenly realize at a certain age that they are living as human beings, and once their minds are clear, they can naturally absorb knowledge.
An uncommon explanation is that they were possessed by a ghost.
The second woman thought it was like a campus ghost story and didn't quite believe it. She even joked: "Isn't this just a variation of Ouija board?"
The girl who jumped off the building replied: "The Ouija board can only point to one word at a time. By the time it finishes pointing to one word, the exam will have long passed."
It made a strange sense of logic, and both the girl and her best friend sent a series of "haha"s. Finally, she said, "If there really is such a method, I would really like to try it. My academic subjects are too unbalanced."
Regarding their grades, the three of them were about the same. Perhaps because they had studied traditional Chinese painting since childhood, the second girl and her best friend were very good at humanities subjects, but their math, English, and geography were so bad that they couldn't even understand what the teacher was saying.
The girl who jumped off the building was also anxious about this. She was already a senior in high school, and although she had submitted so many articles, apart from receiving some royalties and stabilizing her Chinese and history grades, it didn't seem to have helped her academic subjects much.
Besides, she wasn't an art or sports student whose scores were lowered. If her final exam results were similar to those of the other girls, they would probably be able to get into a good art academy, while she would have to go to a second-tier university.
When the girl who jumped off the building was submitting her new article, she kept thinking about this. Less than a day later, she suddenly sent a newspaper to the other girl in a private chat and asked if they wanted to give it a try.
The school's first mock exam is coming up soon, and I heard that the mock exam determines the college entrance exam results. If the results are very bad, not to mention how to face my parents when I get home, I may not be able to bear the punishment from the school.
Thinking about the school's rules that treated people like dirt, Girl B and her best friend couldn't help but be tempted. They didn't know if it would work or not; these things might just be feudal superstition. They decided to just relax and give themselves some psychological comfort.
After agreeing, they went with the girl who jumped to her death to look for the school's history in the library archives. They spent many days flipping through the pages and finally found some details of the original report in an old newspaper.
Furthermore, the archives also contain some student testimonies, indicating that the school questioned students after they jumped from the building.
With this information, they managed to deduce a method for summoning a ghost to possess them.
But those things that belonged to the older generation must have already been sent back to their parents, so why would they still be left at the school?
The girl who jumped off the building was searched for a long time. She even went into the dormitory through the connections of several female acquaintances. Of course, she couldn't have left anything behind. Even if she had, the dormitory aunties would definitely have cleaned it up every year when the students graduated.
After searching high and low, they found clues in the female Wu.
Last year, before a short holiday, on a night when all the students were rehearsing, a girl named B was helping with props. She passed by a music classroom and heard a very beautiful piece of music. Whether you understand music or not, after hearing it, you would think that the piece was played so well, melodious and moving, truly lingering in your ears for three days.
The second woman, who also enjoyed listening to classical music, couldn't help but peek out the window to see who was playing the instrument. She saw a girl holding a brand-new flute, and next to her, an old flute was suspended in mid-air, playing a duet with the girl.
Upon seeing this scene, the second woman instinctively held her breath and covered her mouth to avoid making a sound.
As the piece drew to a close, the girl's expression grew increasingly serious. After she finished playing, she excitedly said to the empty seat next to her, "Thank you! I understand now. I'll play it at this rhythm when I take the exam!"
Fearing discovery, the second woman didn't dare listen any further. That night, she wanted to talk to her best friend about the incident with the girl who jumped off the building, but both of them had been assigned to other places and couldn't meet up for a while. So she simply created a small group chat on a messaging app and told them about it.
When she finally replied after the two girls finished their work, her first thought was, "Could I have misread it, or did the second girl misunderstand the music?"
Girl B hurriedly sent a message: "I don't understand music, but surely I can understand what you're saying? She was the only one in the music classroom, and she was the one who said thank you. She must have found a way to get help from the top student!"
Because what Woman B said was so realistic and full of details, and because they had tried it before, they couldn't help but think in that direction. In the end, they decided to go to Woman E and try to get some information from her.
When they came to her door, the girl was very nervous and her attitude was not good. She even chased them away several times, saying that if they continued to pester her, she would report them to the teacher.
When things reached a stalemate, the girl who jumped from the building stepped forward and said, "I remember your old flute. It belonged to a senior student who had the best resume to date, right?"
If nothing unexpected had happened, that senior student should have become the youngest and most talented flutist.
This statement touched Girl Wu. She didn't actually know much about the senior, but the girl who jumped off the building seemed to know her very well. So they exchanged information, and the girl who jumped off the building told her all about the senior. She also told her all the details of how she met the senior.
Both parties agreed to cooperate and agreed on one thing—obtaining the most important thing from the deceased top student could indeed summon ghosts, but not every ghost would necessarily be the top student.
After learning that they wanted to invite other ghosts to possess them, the senior student carefully reminded them that they could invite ghosts that died for their studies and still had dreams of taking the college entrance exam, but they absolutely could not invite ghosts that were filled with resentment. Once they invited such ghosts, they would not even know how they died.
Perhaps feeling that the female Wu could help her realize her dream of reaching the world's music hall of fame, the senior was willing to help identify some academic ghosts, but because she had been trapped in the old flute for a long time, she didn't know many ghosts.
The girls were happy and felt that it was fine; at worst, they could just improve their scores in one subject first.
With the mock exam just around the corner, I need three math whizzes, or English or geography would also be fine. After thinking it over, the senior student asked them to go to the psychological archives to find the suicide note.
The girl who jumped was shocked. She used to be an archivist and knew that important things should be returned to the parents. How could there be a suicide note left behind?
The senior student said that other things could be given away, but in serious cases, the suicide note would be kept at the school as evidence to prevent the parents from retaliating later. This was all based on experience; without evidence, the parents would sue you to death.
Therefore, there are some suicide notes in the psychological archives, and many of these suicide notes clearly show that the problem lies in the family. If the family is not so terrible, they still hope to live to take the college entrance examination and realize their dreams. It is just right to find them.
After receiving the will, keep it close to your body for a period of time to prove your determination. Then, a ghost will come to your side and help you fulfill your wish.
Using their positions as administrators of the girl who jumped from the building, the three girls sneaked into the archives and found the suicide notes sealed with the files. They stole three of the top students' notes.
When they left, the three of them acted like thieves, and they even passed by the psychological counseling room, where they happened to run into Ms. A who was there for a counseling session.
Everyone is curious about what might be discussed in a counseling room, but these rooms are usually soundproof, so the counselors can't hear anything from outside. If someone were to enter, they would easily be noticed by the counselor.
Moreover, teachers might be passing by, and if they see the girls acting suspiciously, they'll definitely investigate.
Fearing they would be caught, they hurriedly left the administration building and went to the art building to find Female E and the senior student. They told them that they had found the suicide note and Female A, whom they had met on the way.
None of them knew the girl, only that she was the one in school who was very good at dancing folk dances. They just talked about it as gossip. After all, these girls were quite strong-willed. Although campus life was tiring, they had never been to the counseling room, so they were inevitably curious.
The senior student, however, fell into deep thought. After a moment, she said, "Dance students? Speaking of which, have you heard the legends about the dance studio at school?"
Apart from the girl who jumped, the other three all shook their heads.
The girl who jumped off the building then helped explain the legends surrounding the dance studio at No. 6 Middle School.
Legend has it that you can't dance alone in the dance studio after dark, or you'll be eaten by the mirror. And since the mirrors in the dance studio are all in pairs, once you enter a mirror, you'll never get out and will be dancing in the mirror for the rest of your life.
Rumors are just rumors. Dance students often practice late into the night in the dance studio and have never gone missing.
But after listening, the senior said, "This is a simplified version. In our year, the rumor in the dance studio was that every time a dance student danced in the studio, a monster in the mirror would take away one of the dancer's things. You absolutely cannot let it take away your whole person. Once it takes everything away, you will be completely replaced by the monster in the mirror."
