Chapter 294 Sleeping Master 33
Bai Lixin: "I need your help."
"You deserve it, you deserve it! My only daughter, woohoo, daughter, you have a soul in heaven, you can rest in peace." talking.
Bai Lixin: "It's not dead yet, I need your help."
The old man suddenly stiffened.
With wide pupils, he looked at Bai Lixin with a terrifying expression: "What did you say?"
There was a pile of fallen leaves under the bench, and when the wind blew, the leaves moved a few pieces and floated to the tip of Bai Lixin's hand.
Bai Lixin's expression was slightly startled, and after two seconds he returned to a calm expression: "I suspect that it didn't die at all back then, but was replaced with a... container."
"What?" The old man looked at Bai Lixin blankly, and muttered to himself, "This is impossible, it is already dead, it died in my daughter's body, it is right that it is dead."
Bai Lixin found a video of Luo Mei from the mobile phone: "Do you look familiar with this person?"
The old man squinted his eyes and carefully put it on Bailishin's mobile phone. The video was a personal interview with Luo Mei. The old man stared at Luo Mei for a long time. When the host's interview ended and Luo Mei spoke, the old man's dazed expression instantly became frightened.
He stared at Luo Mei on the phone and asked, "Who is this? Who is this?!"
Bai Lixin: "Her name is Luo Mei, and she is a popular movie star now. Do you think she is similar to the monster who stole your daughter's body...?"
"It's it, it's it!" The old man's frightened face was gradually replaced by hatred, "I know it even if it turns to ashes! It is not dead, but it is not dead. Not only is it not dead, but it is alive and well, and even younger. Did it rob someone else's body again!"
Bai Lixin said "um", "Yes."
Then, Bai Lixin found out the photo of Miao Pan'er taken from the Taoist family album, "Do you recognize it, is this your daughter...'s body?"
The old man just glanced at the phone and quickly moved his head away, his cloudy eyes were red, "It's my daughter's body."
Bai Lixin pondered for two seconds, and then pulled out Ru Mian's photo: "Then, is this person also possessed by this monster?"
The old man squinted and took a closer look, "This is Principal Ru? She's not this monster, but she's not a good person either."
Bai Lixin frowned slightly.
The old man's answer made him confused again, isn't it Ru Mian? This is not the same as his previous reasoning.
"Are you sure?" Bai Lixin zoomed in on Ru Mian's photo, "Take a closer look."
"Don't look at it," the old man waved his hand away from Bailishin's phone in annoyance, "I can be sure that Ru Mian is not that monster, Ru Mian was still alive when that monster occupied my daughter's body, how could it be that one? monster."
Bai Lixin's brows furrowed even tighter, "You said just now that Ru Mian is not a good person, what's the matter?"
The old man said rejection on his face: "I am a literate person, and I don't like to talk about other people's private lives, which is very rude."
Bai Lixin: "What if Ru Mian has something to do with this monster? Wouldn't you say it?"
Only then did the old man face Bai Lixin: "Who are you?"
Bai Lixin: "I want to catch this monster, but I don't know the weakness of this monster, I need your help, maybe I can find something useful for me in your memory. You also want to kill Is this monster avenging your daughter?"
The old man struggled for a moment, "Okay, I'll tell you."
"This university was built in s1948 and completed in s1955, and the construction took seven years. Ru Mian is the president and one of the initiators of the construction of this university. Her major is the Department of Archaeology, she is very smart and very talented Excellent, even harder than others. She is a strong woman character, as long as she is responsible for things, she can do it beautifully."
"In the beginning, everyone trusted her,"
"She started archaeological work at the age of 18 after graduating from university. She has achieved remarkable results at a young age, and has excavated many cultural relics and monuments that have made outstanding contributions to history."
"So although she was very young when the school was founded, everyone was very impressed with her, and she also took over the construction of the library."
Bai Lixin: "She is the principal? Why does the library only refer to her as 'professor'?"
"Because of some things that happened later, she resigned from the position of 'headmaster'," the old man said with regret when he talked about her, "You also know that we were all very traditional and conservative at the time, but she hooked up several times at the same time. A man. Among those men, one man's wife made a scene at the school, and it was quite a riot at the time."
"Such a serious mess in the private life of the academic world caused a sensation back then. Even if the school wanted to protect her, it wouldn't dare to protect her, so Ru Mian changed from the position of the principal to an ordinary teacher."
"The next year, people found Ru Mian dead on the bed at home. Everyone said that Ru Mian couldn't stand the pressure of public opinion and finally chose to commit suicide."
"Although Ru Mian's private life is chaotic, she has made outstanding contributions to the construction of the school. It can even be said that without Ru Mian, this school would not exist. When the school was built, there was a shortage of funds. Helped to pull it. In order to thank Ru Mian for her contribution to the school, the school still put her on the 'celebrity list'."
"So that's what happened," Bai Lixin looked at the old man, "What about your daughter, when did you find out that her body was occupied?"
"It was around s1958. This school cost a lot of money when it was built, especially the library, which is expensive and has a lot of excellent books. I always want my daughter to get into a good school, So I took advantage of my teacher's privilege and forced my daughter to study in the library every day, repeat her studies, and prepare for the college entrance examination."
"She was always in a low mood because of her poor test scores. Later, I suddenly found that she seemed to be getting more and more happy. When I asked her what was wrong, she told me that she had made good friends in the library. I was worried that she was in a puppy love. She repeatedly said that the other party was a girl and I was relieved."
"You also know that adolescent girls are extraordinarily delicate. I know that reviewing all the time has a great impact on her mental stress, so I usually pay special attention to her psychological counseling. Making friends can make her happier. I think it's good for her. Emotional adjustment also helps. And it was made in the library, and someone who can go to the library is definitely not a bad boy. So I didn’t stop her from making friends, but the friends she made were not people at all.”
Bai Lixin: "..."
"I usually have classes, so I can't supervise her studies in the library all the time. That's why I found out later that my daughter's behavior was getting more and more unfamiliar, and I only found out by asking other students in the library."
"My daughter has no friends at all in the library. They say that my daughter is withdrawn and has always been alone. Sometimes when she sits in the library, she suddenly laughs and talks to herself, and what she speaks is dialogue. , as if there was really an invisible person following him."
"They are all afraid of my daughter because of this, they think my daughter is schizophrenic."
"And they said, my daughter is disappearing at every turn."
"That day, I secretly followed my daughter, followed her to the basement of the library, and saw a scene that shocked me."
"I never knew that the library even had a basement, and I didn't know that there were so many stone statues in the basement. I followed my daughter secretly and found that she walked to one of the stone statues and chatted with the stone statues, which shocked me even more. The thing is, that stone statue can open its mouth to speak and respond to my daughter."
"That stone statue is what my daughter calls a 'friend'."
"When I got home that night, I scolded her, and she ran away from home in a fit of anger. I looked for her for a long time, and then I found her here. Her cheeks were pale and her whole body was wet. Fortunately, there was still breath. The old man paused when he said this, "If I knew that the soul that occupied my daughter's body at that time had been replaced by that monster, I should have drowned her directly!"
"I took her to the hospital overnight. She was in a coma for three days and three nights before she woke up. After waking up, her whole person changed."
Bai Lixin: "You found out that something was wrong with her then?"
The old man: "No, after being discharged from the hospital. No matter how much a person changes, the preferences that are imprinted in the bones will not change. She used to hate eating meat and fish, but when she wakes up, she is addicted to meat."
"She didn't like wearing red clothes before, she said it was scary, but she woke up and bought a lot of red clothes."
"And the way she spoke to me, it was like a completely different person."
"She was curious about everything around her, as if she had never seen the world."
"I tried it with coriander she didn't eat and found that she didn't reject it at all."
"I also found that she secretly lit incense at night and worshipped in the direction of the library."
"All this made me sure that the person in front of me was definitely not my daughter, but a monster who occupied my daughter's body. But no one believed me, everyone thought I was crazy. Later, this monster started using my daughter's body. I was furious when I did something that tarnished my daughter's reputation, but she laughed wildly. I couldn't do anything about her because she used my daughter's body."
"Later, she ran away from home. It wasn't until more than ten years ago that I received her relics."
"That's all I know."
Bai Lixin: "Do you remember when she left?"
"It was around 1960. I was exhausted by her anger in those years. The only thing I remember is that her departure and Ru Mian's death were a matter of front and back."
Bai Lixin: "Have you not guessed that the stone statues in the basement of the library are related to Ru Mian? She is an archaeologist, so she should have unearthed a lot of cultural relics? And she is the designer and construction director of the library. , For her, it was easy to put the statue inside. Did you not respond to the school when you found the statue in the basement?"
"Reacted, but..." the old man sighed, "I followed that road to find the basement, but for some reason, I couldn't find the entrance to the basement. I reported this matter to the school, The school thought I was crazy and dismissed me perfunctorily, not believing what I said at all. Because in the original design drawings, the library did not say that it was underground at all."
"I've told you everything I know, and I hope I can help you. Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Bai Lixin slowly digested the information. He looked up at the sky and found that the sun above his head had begun to sink. Outside the willow tree is the beauty of dusk, and the inside of the willow tree began to be gradually shrouded in darkness.
"Why don't we talk while walking? It's getting dark." Bai Lixin stood up from the bench and looked around.
The river is already in the center of the willow tree, and in the gradually dim light, the outside scene is gradually blurred.
"Okay, let's go, I'll walk with you for a while." The old man slowly stood up from the bench with his legs supported, "What else do you want to know?"
"There was a recent one on the Wall of Fame
The photo of the person has been replaced. This person should be about the same age as you. Do you have any impression of him? "
The old man: "He, when the school was being built, he was responsible for the construction of the surrounding park. He is also one of Ru Mian's concubines. It's just that his wife went to the countryside and disappeared, so this scandal did not come out. ."
"The construction of the park? You mean that this willow forest, including the fountain at the school gate, is all his responsibility?"
The old man: "Not only these, as long as it is the flowers, plants and buildings on the campus, he is responsible for it."
Bai Lixin: "..."
___________________________
Studio.
[Thinking deeply, if this is the case, Ru Mian can completely rely on her own relationship to let that person change the construction content of the park and replace it with what she needs? For example, the willow tree outside the library, and the fountain like three incense sticks. 】
[How do you feel that the coffin of the library was planned by Ru Mian? 】
[But she is dead. And she's not Luo Mei, didn't the old man just say it? When the monster came out, Ru Mian wasn't dead. 】
[Is it possible that Ru Mian is a tool person? This coffin was built under the control of someone, and there were so many stone statues of ancient gods in the coffin. Maybe Ru Mian is a believer? 】
[This analysis is very likely. 】
___________________________
When they were halfway there, the willow trees were completely dark. Bai Lixin couldn't see the road a little bit, but the old man beside him was very familiar with Lin Zi, so he led him outside with ease.
"Is the stone statue you mentioned just now placed in the square secret room in the innermost part of the underground palace?"
In the darkness, the old man's footsteps stopped, and his voice became excited: "Have you ever been in?! Did you see it too!"
"So I didn't have hallucinations at all. There really is an underground, right? You also saw that stone statue?!"
Bai Lixin: "I probably didn't see the stone statue. I went in. There are only stone statues of fairies placed in the four corners of the room inside, but the room is empty. I always think there should be something in the middle."
The old man "Huh? There's nothing in the middle? There should be a female stone statue in the middle. The light from the top of the head shines, just right on the stone statue. I remember that there are several words written on the stone statue... It is 'Lord Yuexian'. These words."
Bai Lixin frowned slightly, again "Lord Yuexian".
He then shook his head: "I haven't seen it before. The stone statue was no longer there when I went. When you left, did the surrounding stone statues move? For example, chasing you or something?"
The old man: "No, it's just ordinary stone statues. You ask me, is it possible that the stone statues will move when you go?"
Bai Lixin: "Well, it can move. Not only can it move, but it's also very flexible and fast."
The old man sucked in a breath, "What the hell are they trying to do! Isn't it enough to live one stone statue? With so many lives, could it be that they all want to change from one by one to human beings?!"
"These damn monsters!"
Bailishing's eyes flashed in the darkness, and he walked silently on the road without speaking.
He couldn't judge the motives of those stone statues, and he didn't have the same strong disgust as the old man, but more sigh.
They came into being when humanity needed ancient gods.
When humans don't need them, they seem to be an intolerable thing if they still exist in the world.
Bearing the title of "God", but being controlled by human beings.
At this moment, Bai Lixin felt unspeakable bitterness.
s419m: [Why did the stone statue not attack the old man back then, but now it attacks you, Master Host? Could it be because the old man was the girl's father that they didn't do it? 】
Bai Lixin: [Not necessarily, decades have passed since the old man went underground. When the old man went underground, the school had only been built for two or three years, but for decades, the stone statues have been enshrined. It may be because the power of worship is too strong, so that these stone statues that should have died have life again. Back then, it wasn't that the stone statue didn't attack the old man, but that there was no way to attack. 】
Escape system: [This explanation is very clear, and I think it makes sense. 】
s419m: [Chao said, if the stone statue is Lord Yuexian, then it doesn't matter whether Miao Pan'er or Luo Mei is behind, it's Lord Yuexian. The man in sunglasses was indeed the Lord Moon Immortal whom he prayed for, but it was not her who killed the eyeball girl. But not her, who could it be? 】
Bai Lixin: [I have always fallen into a misunderstanding before. 】
s419m: [What about now? came out? 】
Bai Lixin: [Oh, a clever misunderstanding. 】
Under the leadership of the old man, Bai Lixin quickly found his way out of the willow forest. When he was about to reach the edge of the woods, the old man stopped. He raised his fists and bowed to Bai Lixin seriously, "Little brother, I'll accompany you here, go out by yourself. I hope you can help me. Thank you for my daughter's revenge."
Bai Lixin took a deep look at the old man, and finally he imitated the old man's appearance, gave a bow, said "I will do my best" and turned to leave.
s419m is a little puzzled: [Master host, do you rest assured that he is an old man staying in the woods by himself? Aren't you afraid he's in danger? 】
Bai Lixin's eyebrows and eyes drooped slightly, and the long eyelashes concealed the twinkling eyes.
Guang, [He is already dead and can't get out of this forest. 】
s419m: [What? died? But the librarian didn't say...]
Bai Lixin: [It shouldn't be long after he died. There was a pile of fallen leaves under the bench we were sitting on. When I put my hand on the bench, I accidentally touched the pile of leaves and felt a cold touch. He was alone and widowed, and even if the librarian could see him sometimes, not every day. If you haven't seen it for a few days, you may not find anything unusual. 】
s419m: [Hey...]
