Watching her son walking away, her heart began to ache violently.
The pain woke her up from her sleep.
After waking up, her heart was in a panic, as if she was about to lose something important.
Seeing that she really couldn't sleep, she went to the kitchen and prepared to make her son's favorite dumplings and send them to him in two days.
Thinking of her son's happy expression when he ate the dumplings, the panic in her heart dissipated a lot.
But she, who always had steady hands, somehow ended up dropping several bowls in a row. When the last bowl in the house fell to the ground, the cell phone on the table started ringing.
Hearing the familiar voice, Lu Kangnian could no longer control his emotions. He covered his face and choked, "Auntie, Meng He...he, he committed suicide at school."
"He committed suicide."
These three words lingered in their minds for a long time before they heard a voice filled with pain: "My son!"
In the dormitory, the three people who had just finished the phone call seemed to have been drained of all their strength and could only speak mechanically.
"So, what we encountered in our dreams was real. That female ghost wanted to kill us, but was stopped by Meng He."
"That's for sure. If it weren't for Meng He's reminder, we would have eaten the rice in the woman's bowl and would have been killed by the female ghost."
Pan Yang, who had seen the female ghost beforehand, slapped his face hard and said, "It's all my fault for being such a coward. If I had seen what the female ghost said to Meng He last night, he wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing.
Even so, Meng He still saved a coward like me. I feel so sorry for him."
When he returned to the dormitory last night, he clearly saw the female ghost pestering Meng He, but for his own safety, he buried this discovery deep in his heart.
Compared with Meng He's selfless sacrifice to save others, he is really too selfish, so selfish that he now dare not look directly at Meng He's corpse.
He thought of the miserable state of Meng He being hung in the air, and could not even imagine how much suffering he had endured before his death.
Moreover, that woman is a fierce ghost who can kill people without them knowing. Will Meng He, who has turned into a ghost, be unable to escape her pursuit and be hurt by her?
Lu Kangnian patted his shoulder comfortingly: "This matter has nothing to do with you. When we knocked on that door, we fell into her circle of revenge.
Even if you said it last night, we who have no ability to resist still can't change anything.
Moreover, the fact that Meng He saved you in your dream means that he doesn’t blame you.
The danger is not over yet, we cannot lose our composure.
If we can't survive, we will have failed Meng He in saving our lives."
Because someone was killed, the police and school leaders quickly arrived at the dormitory.
The school teachers comforted Lu Kangnian and the other two, while preventing people from other dormitories from coming in to watch, so as not to disturb the deceased's final dignity.
When the forensic doctor took Meng He down from the bed, Lu Kangnian and the other two couldn't help but cry loudly, especially Lu Kangnian. He kept wondering if this wouldn't have happened if he hadn't suggested going to the hotel.
Although it was clear from Meng He's body that he had committed suicide, the police still questioned the three people separately as per the routine.
After a while, three police officers from the interrogation room came out. They compared their notes and looked puzzled. "Captain, they all agreed that it was an evil spirit that was taking our lives. They also said that their lives might be in danger."
The deputy director didn't believe this at first, but when he saw the location on the confession, he remembered what happened before his master was transferred.
"Master, why do you look so sad today?"
The director took a big gulp of water before speaking angrily, "It's all because of that family in the alley to the west. I don't understand what that woman wants from her husband. She doesn't want to divorce him even after being bullied like this.
You don’t know, since I came to this place, I have gone to their house for mediation seven or eight times, and every time it was the neighbors next door who couldn’t stand it anymore and called the police.
That man is such a bastard, he has all the bad habits like playing cards, drinking, and domestic violence.
Whenever he lost money outside, he would take it out on his wife and kids when he got home.
According to the person who called the police, he was often seen hitting his wife with a stool and beating his son. The most serious incident was when he kicked his son out of the house.
And this woman followed him wholeheartedly, and no matter how she was beaten, she always spoke on her husband's side.
To put it bluntly, I'm afraid that if this continues, he will be beaten to death one day.
Forget it, let’s not talk about this bad thing. I will be transferred soon. After I leave, you should pay special attention to these two people and go shopping with them whenever you want.
I'm afraid the neighbors, seeing the couple's close bond, might be reluctant to call the police if something like this happens, causing the child and her to suffer as well."
Later, what the director said came true. The woman did die, but she was not beaten to death. Instead, she committed suicide by hanging.
According to the neighbors, the woman saw her husband flirting with a card-playing friend and couldn't stand the trauma so she hanged herself.
Although the director felt sorry for her experience, seeing that her family did not seem to argue, he closed the case as usual.
I thought the matter ended here, but I didn't expect him to start making trouble after the woman died.
She constantly torments the users around her, screaming miserably every night, and blocking the neighbors' way home, preventing them from returning home smoothly.
During that period, not only the people in the alleys, but even the animals were affected.
Cats and dogs, which are always sensitive, will bark non-stop when they pass that intersection.
This outrageous operation continued for half a year, forcing many tenants to leave the place. The originally prosperous alley became deserted because of this incident.
Later, the deputy director also went to that alley to handle several cases. Whenever her name was mentioned, others would be filled with hatred.
Thinking of this, he took the three case files away and said, "Keep an eye on those three children. Ask their parents to come over. I have something I want to discuss with them."
Lu Kangnian stared at his phone with a blank look in his eyes. He clenched the heart-protecting amulet in his hand even tighter. “Later, I don’t know what the police said to our parents, but they took us out of the campus and placed us in the nearest temple.
During this period, we also met Meng He's parents. They were as kind as Meng He and did not blame us at all. They also asked the police to take good care of us.
Tonight, my two roommates have taken sleeping pills and fallen asleep, but I am the only one who has no desire to sleep at all even after taking two pills.
I think the woman's target must be me, after all, it was Meng He who knocked on the door, and I was the one who suggested it."
