Chapter 580 The game officially begins
The female ghost was stunned and looked at him as if she didn't understand.
"Do you really think I like you?" The scumbag sneered and spat on the ground. "If it weren't for your family's wealth, do you think I would have the patience to coax you? Now you're an unwanted slut with a burden. Whoever wants you can have you!"
He turned to leave, but the ghost grabbed him like crazy: "You said you would marry me! You said you wouldn't let me down!"
"I've said so many things, and you still believe them?" The scumbag shook her hand off with such force that she fell to the ground. "Hurry up and beat the kid, and don't bother me anymore. Oh, and I sold your broken camera a long time ago and bought a new game console. Thanks."
It was snowing heavily that day, and the ghost girl sat in the snow, feeling no cold. She touched her belly, where a small life was beating, but her world had been shattered into dust.
She couldn't go home. Her parents said that if she dared to be with this scumbag, they would pretend she had never given birth to her.
She couldn't find the scumbag either. He changed his phone number, avoided her, and even had his new girlfriend point at her and call her a "shameless mistress" when she went to his dorm.
On New Year's Day 1994, the whole school was celebrating.
The female ghost was wearing a red dress, which was the dress that the scumbag said "suits you best", and she walked up to the top floor of the teaching building step by step.
The wind was so strong that it made her skirt rustle. She looked down and saw the scumbag and the girl setting off fireworks downstairs, laughing so happily.
She touched her belly and whispered, "Baby, Mommy is sorry for you."
Then he jumped.
The red skirt fell on the snow like a broken flower, splashing a dazzling red.
Later someone said that that night, a baby's crying sound came from the top floor, intermittently, as if the baby was looking for its mother.
Later, every winter, the school building would be haunted. A woman in a red dress would wander the corridors, her shadow would appear in mirrors, and mops would stand up on their own, as if wiping away the blood she hadn't cleaned up.
"I won't accept this..." The ghost girl's voice suddenly rose, and the black energy began to surge again. "Why is he living so well? Why can he forget me and the child? I want him to pay with his life! I want him to never have peace!"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry." Bai Yu's eyes were red when he heard this. Seeing this, he quickly comforted her, "He's not well, we just ignore him. Look, you've been crying here for thirty years, and he doesn't even know. How worthless."
He pulled a crumpled paper crane from his pocket. "This is for you. It's a pair with the baby's. When you get there, take it and you'll find the baby."
The female ghost looked at the paper crane, then at Bai Yu's serious face. She was silent for a long time, then took it and whispered, "I want to reincarnate. I want to see what she looks like now."
"Okay." Bai Yu smiled and nodded, holding out his hand, "I'll take you there."
The ghost placed her hand in his palm, and her body gradually became transparent. Before leaving, she looked back out the window. The top floor of the old teaching building was pitch black, and there was no longer any puppet-like shadow.
A flash of white light passed, leaving only the faint scent of candy in the room. The blood, tears, and black water marks on the floor slowly faded, as if tanned by the sun.
After the ghost disappeared, the eerie atmosphere in the dormitory completely dissipated, leaving only the calmness of surviving a disaster. Jian Yi looked at the empty corner and asked softly, "Did that baby...really go to reincarnate?"
Bai Yu was squatting on the ground picking up the potato chips that had just been scattered. When he heard this, he looked up and smiled foolishly, "You lied to her."
Jian Yi was stunned for a moment.
"She's got something on her mind and won't leave." Bai Yu stuffed some potato chips into her mouth and mumbled, "She only left because I told her the baby was waiting for her over there. Otherwise, she would have cried here for ages."
Jian Yi looked into his clear eyes and suddenly realized that some lies might be more gentle than the truth. She nodded and asked, "Then do you know... where that child went?"
Bai Yu shook her head honestly: "I don't know. Maybe they turned into little stars, or maybe they hid in the wind."
Jian Yi fell silent. Yeah, what good did knowing mean? The female ghost had already let go of her obsession and reincarnated; that was enough. As for the child who hadn't had time to see the world, perhaps, as Bai Yu had said, he existed in another form. Perhaps... he had already been reincarnated and become a chubby baby held in the palm of someone's hand.
Just thinking about that scumbag made her heart ache. Thirty years of resentment, a life, an unborn child, and in the end, the perpetrator received no punishment at all. She clenched her fist, then loosened it helplessly. What could outsiders like them do?
After a busy night, everyone was already exhausted. Song Ran collapsed onto the bed, breathing evenly against the pillow. Zhou Ren leaned against the wall, groaning from the pain in her tailbone.
"Let me help you."
Bai Yu jumped to her side and reached out to gently press his hand on her lower back. A warm current spread along his fingertips, and Zhou Ren felt the piercing pain slowly eased, as if it had been melted by warm water.
Jian Yi glanced out the window and saw that it was already dawn, so he said, "I'll go downstairs to buy breakfast. You guys take a break first."
As she walked out of the dormitory building, the cool morning breeze blew on her face, making her feel much more awake. After buying four servings of soy milk and fried dough sticks, she walked back, carrying the plastic bag. Just as she turned the corner behind the teaching building, a shadow suddenly slipped out from the mottled shadows of the trees.
It was a girl, wrapped in a black hoodie with the brim pulled down very low, revealing only a small part of her pale jaw. Her lips were so pale that they looked bloodless. She walked very fast, but her footsteps were eerily light. When she landed, even the fallen leaves didn't make a sound. It seemed as if they were floating close to the ground.
"boom--!"
Jian Yi was knocked off balance and fell backwards to the ground. The plastic bag in his hand flew out of his hand, and the fried dough sticks rolled all over the floor. The soy milk bag fell to the concrete floor, and a pale yellow liquid oozed out through the cracks, quickly soaking the concrete.
What frightened her the most was the force of the collision. The man looked as thin as a leaf that could be blown away by the wind at any time, but when he hit her, it was like being hit by a huge rock soaked in water, and her bones were shaking and aching.
She struggled to stand up, and out of the corner of her eye she saw the girl not even pause for half a second. Something seemed to move in the shadow under the brim of her hat, or perhaps it was just the light that was causing the problem. Jian Yi felt a chill creep up the back of her neck.
The exposed skin on the girl's neck was an abnormally cold white, as if it had not seen the sun for a long time.
The wind blew up the soy milk foam on the ground, blinding Jian Yi. When she rubbed her eyes and looked up again, the thin figure had already reached the intersection dozens of meters away, walking along the wall towards the school gate. The black hem of the clothes was faintly visible in the morning mist, like a trace of ink, so fast that it almost melted into the dim morning light.
The real protagonist, Qiu Gu, has just appeared.
-
A month passed quickly, and the school had a short holiday. Su Yang was a restless guy, visiting friends everywhere, but there were too few of his peers who were not doing their jobs properly, so he decided to go to Ni Guang Tang to harass Chen Yifan.
Passing by a dessert shop on the way, he bought two ice creams and ate one of them happily, humming a song. Just as he turned into the alley, he was suddenly hit hard on the shoulder.
"Fuck me!"
The ice cream flew out of his hand and hit the wall, turning into two puddles of brown mud. Su Yang covered his numb arm and turned back to see the back of a man in a black hoodie, walking as fast as if he were on a hot wheel, heading deeper into the alley without looking back.
"Hey! Don't you have any fucking eyes?" Su Yang cursed and chased after him. The lion shouted: "That ice cream is three hundred yuan each! You have to compensate me!"
Qiugu ignored him and turned into a narrower alley. Su Yang rushed in even more angrily. Just as he was about to reach out and grab her hat, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by a hand like an iron clamp and twisted hard behind his back.
"Ow—!"
The bones seemed to be dislocated, and Su Yang was in so much pain that tears were about to come out. While struggling, he saw the girl turn around. The brim of her hat was pulled down very low, revealing only a pale chin and a pair of unfocused eyes, like a frozen lake.
"It's so noisy." Qiu Gu's voice was hoarse, like a rusty door hinge turning.
"You hit someone and you think you're right? Apologize now! Otherwise I'll let my brother..."
Before he could finish his words, he felt a blow to the stomach. It wasn't a fist, but a knee, fast and fierce, like being hit by a piece of iron. Su Yang doubled over instantly, his stomach churning. Just as he was about to curse, she elbowed the back of his neck, pressing him against the cold wall.
"Apologize?" Qiu Ge laughed. It was a light laugh, but it was indescribably creepy. "I want you to die now. Do you hear me?"
Su Yang turned his head and tried to be stubborn, but suddenly his left cheek felt a burning pain. She slapped him so hard that his ears started buzzing.
"you……"
"If you keep talking, I'll break your fingers." Qiu Gu's voice was flat, but his fingers actually pinched his little finger and twisted it gently.
"Ouch, ouch..." Su Yang gasped in pain and finally became scared.
He could put up a few fights, but he was no match for the prisoner in front of him. There was no anger in her eyes, only a kind of indifference that was almost curious, as if she was looking at a struggling insect.
Seeing that he didn't move, Qiu Ge loosened his hand with satisfaction, turned around and took out half a pack of chewing gum from Su Yang's trouser pocket, opened a piece and threw it into his mouth, "This is your compensation."
