The Ghost of the Pen Fairy (VIII)
Mo Liuying struggled to wake up from the darkness. Although the environment around her was not very bright when she woke up, a bonfire was enough to make her feel at ease.
Wait, bonfire?
The moment this thought came to her mind, she woke up completely.
Mo Liuying sat up with the help of her arms. The heavy cloth on her body slipped down. She looked down and saw that it seemed to be an extremely old curtain, covered with thick dust. It was obvious that someone had tried their best to beat it, but still couldn't get rid of the dirt caused by the erosion of time.
When she turned her head, she saw Yan Yan and Tang Yuanyuan who were also tucked in the old curtains.
The two people were unconscious with pale faces, but Mo Liuying felt relieved when she saw them, at least they were still alive.
The bonfire was crackling, and there was a familiar pile of wood not far away, which seemed to be the dark red floor of the library.
But He Guang was nowhere to be seen.
Mo Liuying stood up slowly, everything that happened before she fell into a coma was still bothering her.
Her hands and feet were still cold, and even if she stayed in a well-heated room, it might take her a while to recover.
She pulled out her cell phone and checked the time. It was almost three o'clock. She had been unconscious for at least an hour.
Since He Guang has been able to take care of them so well for such a long time, there must be no danger or no danger for the time being.
But Mo Liuying was still very worried. Just as she was about to go out, she saw He Guang had kicked open the door of the old classroom. He was holding a bag in his arms. Seeing that she was awake, he was a little embarrassed and caught off guard, "Haha, classmate Mo, you're awake."
Mo Liuying nodded, her eyes falling on her arms.
[Question: What should I do if I return home in the middle of the night carrying a pile of bones and am caught by my classmates?
Urgent, waiting online]
[The anchor is doing a good deed, so why should he feel guilty?]
[But most people are very taboo about this, and if I may be frank, the anchor is asking for trouble]
[Hey, how are you talking in front?]
[Don't get excited. What the friend before said is not wrong. If we take this corpse out and don't handle it properly, it will cause a lot of trouble. Maybe if we were in the host's position, we would not make the same choice.
But we don’t do it, we can’t do it, and we can’t laugh at and question those who dare to do it. On the contrary, it is because of people like the anchor that we can see the brilliance of human nature.
[I’m sorry, because my job is to teach and educate people, I accidentally said a few more words]
[I agree with the teacher’s point of view]
[Don’t be so fierce, we just care about the anchor]
He Guang looked at the comments and said soothingly, "I know what's going on. It's okay."
As he said this, he carefully closed the door again with his foot.
Mo Liuying looked at the piece of dry bones exposed in her arms and guessed what she was going to do. Her eyes were a little complicated. She had seen all kinds of people, but it was really rare to see someone like Guang.
The other party has an almost naive enthusiasm and kindness, but compared with her rough nerves and her unconventional approach, this does not seem surprising.
Mo Liuying sat in front of the fire again, "You want to take him out."
"Yes." He Guang also came over and warmed his hands by the fire.
"Do you need my help?" Mo Liuying said.
"Ah?" He Guang was surprised to see her ask that. "I have a way to deal with it."
Mo Liuying nodded slightly, "Just now we..."
"The ghost messenger appeared last time."
He Guang said the story he had prepared long ago, "I felt a blackout in front of my eyes and was about to faint, but she appeared and woke me up."
Mo Liuying did not doubt it, and thought, "Did the master tell me what is in the dead wood forest? Did you see it?"
He Guang shook his head, "It's more like an invisible force. If a ghost doesn't want to show up in front of us, it can just not show up, right?
Anyway, it was scary, and she warned me not to venture into that forest again."
Mo Liuying was not surprised by this answer, "What happened next?"
"Then I carried you back. She said she would take care of the rest. Then she went into the woods and never came out again. Maybe she left."
He Guang clapped his hands, "We should be safe now."
Mo Liuying did not look relaxed, "I don't think things are over yet. There are more than one group of creatures chasing us tonight."
He Guang also thought so, but although she was able to come to this conclusion, she was unable to organize all the clues in her mind in an orderly manner, let alone analyze them one by one and tell others about them.
Now Mo Liuying was obviously going to do the job, and she immediately pricked up her ears and listened happily.
"To use your analogy, there are three hunters tonight. The first is the fake Ping Ping you saw, the second is the headless woman Yan Yan and I saw, and the third is the thing that attacked us in the dead woods just now.
Yan Yan and Yuan Yuan couldn't have gone there for no reason. I suspect they were bewitched."
He Guang also agreed with this point. Normal people would not go into a gloomy forest in the middle of the night. People would subconsciously run to a place they think is safe, so even if Yan Yan and Tang Yuanyuan were in a panic, they would choose to run outside the old campus.
"But since the ghost messenger has said so, the dead wood forest will be handled by her. The things in there should be destroyed or suppressed by her, so we really don't have to worry about it." Mo Liuying said again.
In fact, she felt that they didn't have the ability to worry about it, but for her, pinning her fate on another powerful being did not make her feel completely at ease.
"What we are facing now is the fake Pingping and the headless woman. But the fake Pingping, to be precise, the person Pingping does not exist, so there is no question of whether she is real or fake."
"So, is the Pingping who has been with Yuanyuan and the others these days a fake Pingping or the decapitated senior?" He Guang looked at Mo Liuying in distress, "If you say it's haunted, then it's haunted. Why make it so complicated?"
"I speculate that the Pingping you saw in the dormitory building is the Pingping who has been living in the dormitory these days." Mo Liuying found it difficult to explain herself. She paused and continued, "If it weren't for the fact that the mirror couldn't reflect her, you wouldn't have suspected her at all. You concluded that she was fake because she was a ghost? But if she was a human, she would not be able to tamper with the memories of Yan Yan and the others."
"That makes sense." He Guang thought hard, "At that time, she seemed to want to trap us in the dormitory building. She even said, "I'm helping you. Aren't I the one you're looking for?"
Mo Liuying was shocked and repeated, "Isn't it me you are looking for?
I have a guess, and light. "
She said, "Is it possible that Pingping is the Pen Fairy? Yan Yan and the others played the game of summoning spirits, but they summoned the decapitated woman first, and the Pen Fairy arrived later."
"Ah?" He Guang was surprised.
"She said that I was the one you were looking for." Mo Liuying said, "Yan Yan and the others did want to play with the Pen Fairy again to clarify the matter, but they were afraid of causing more trouble, so they had not made up their minds. After all, from the current situation, the Pen Fairy reminded them, and it seemed that it was with good intentions."
He Guang scratched his head. "If Pingping is the Pen Fairy, why has she been following Yuanyuan and the others these days? Is she protecting them?"
"It's not impossible. After all, you said that she lured you back to the dormitory building tonight just to trap you. But it's also possible that she can't kill people due to some restrictions." Mo Liuying said.
He Guang was a little confused, "Why is it so complicated?"
Mo Liuying smiled, "I didn't see you looking so worried even when you were being chased by a ghost just now."
"I am a typical example of a person with strong limbs but a simple mind!" He Guang also felt cold, so he pulled up a corner of the old curtain and rolled himself in it.
"Anything that requires thinking will consume my health."
It was the first time that Mo Liuying saw someone admit that his brain was not working well, and admit it so readily.
She was speechless for a while, and chose to continue analyzing the situation. "If Pingping is the Pen Fairy, and this speculation is true, and she has been with Yan Yan and the others for so long, it can be seen that she is conscious and does things in a planned and organized manner. Such a person... ghosts can communicate.
Looking at the headless woman, she has no desire to communicate except to scare people and create illusions. She is very direct in her actions, so the possibility that she is Ping Ping is very small. "
He Guang nodded, "I feel the same aura from her as A-Lin."
Mo Liuying was stunned when she heard her mention A Lin.
She was in a state of possession the entire night. Although she could not control her own body, she watched the whole process like a bystander.
It’s just that the feeling is not as intuitive as light, and everything seems blurry as if through a layer of glass.
"So the headless woman is very dangerous, maybe a more powerful ghost than A-Lin." Mo Liuying frowned, "For now, we can only hope that Ping Ping is someone we can communicate with.
Maybe you can go visit that Senior Sister Su."
Mo Liuying already had a general plan for what to do next, but she still needed to think about the details. The night was still long, but the most important thing at the moment was...
"Wako."
"Huh?"
"Thank you."
The audience still had a lot of confusion about what happened in the deadwood forest. Seeing that He Guang and Mo Liuying's conversation had come to an end, they began to post comments to ask questions and discuss.
The system suddenly spoke, "What happened tonight is similar to what our heroine analyzed. She is really a smart girl."
[Damn, System-kun, you and I jumped! ]
[System, system, what is in the dead forest? ]
"What attacked them were either the ghosts in the Deadwood Forest or the Deadwood Forest itself," said the system.
[The woods can also become spirits]
[No spirits are allowed after the founding of the country]
[Maybe before the founding of the country]
Kazuhiko pondered, "No wonder the feeling of being watched is everywhere."
The system said, "The predecessor of Luyuan College was also a school during the Anti-Japanese War.
After the Japanese army occupied city A, they carried out a massacre in this school and later used the school as an experimental base for very cruel experiments.
One day afterwards, all the Japanese soldiers stationed at the school died overnight, and their deaths were extremely strange and tragic.
[Damn, how come these bastards are causing trouble in every time and space]
[Can I say dirty words? If not, there is nothing to say, secretly stabbing the villain of a certain island country]
【Retribution, good death】
[God will take his own course, no one can escape it]
The system said, "Later, this school became a ghost area, and living people were not allowed to approach it. Until before the founding of the country, a master took action and set up a wide array of formations. Those who could be saved were saved, those who could be driven away were driven away, and those who could not be resolved could only be suppressed. The school was built again to use the yang energy of living people to suppress the yin (evil) underground.
It's just that this period of history is considered top secret, and outsiders can only hear some untrue rumors, and it is impossible to know. The Deadwood Forest was originally where the Japanese army disposed of corpses, so the resentment was the heaviest, and over time it developed its own will.
