do you see the horns on my head

Soon, Ji Danchen, Ao Ze, Heinrich, and Ying Chaoyang walked through the grove and came to the legendary school worker's dormitory that was haunted.

This is a dilapidated four-story building, built on wet and leaf-strewn land.The tiled wall with green dots on a white background has a few small cracks on the wall, and several rows of rusty pipes are crawling beside it.The windows on the upper two floors of the dormitory have all been sealed with wooden strips, and the glass of some windows has simply disappeared. It seems that no one has lived in it for a long time.A few orange overalls were hung on the small balconies of the two floors below, presumably the janitors lived on the first and second floors here.

They approached the re-locked gate. There was a notice board on the mottled outer wall. The paper on it had been mottled and yellowed after years of sun and rain, and some of them were only half a sheet left.

Heinrich is a fan of Chinese characters. When he saw such Chinese characters, he couldn't help but read them out, so he said softly:

"Girls dormitory rules:

First, the gate of the dormitory closes at 2 o'clock in the evening. Those who return late must register their names at the dormitory management office and deduct [-] points;

Second, boys are not allowed to enter the female dormitory.If found, 2 points will be deducted for both male and female students;

Third, in order to ensure the safety of the dormitory, do not use high-power electrical appliances such as hair dryers and rice cookers. If found, they will be confiscated and 2 points will be deducted..."

There is a paragraph in the middle that seems to be stained with water and cannot be read clearly, but the last two lines can still be vaguely seen:

"Tenth, anyone who is deducted 10 points will be permanently disqualified from accommodation.

Announcement by the Student Office of Southern University on May 1999, 5"

"It turns out that this was a girls' dormitory 19 years ago." Ji Danchen said, "It seems that at least at that time, the door of this dormitory hadn't been locked all the year round."

"What are you doing!" At this moment, a rough voice suddenly sounded behind them, and they turned their heads, only to see a man with a big broom staring at them.He looks to be 60 or [-] years old, with a hunchback, bow legs, and a buffalo-like nose in the middle of his face, which adds a bit of anger to his facial features: "What do you do here? You bring foreigners and pets Come here! Walk around, this is not a place to visit."

The janitor thought they were lost tourists. It seemed that he didn't know what was going on in the woods.

"Hi, there was a homicide case in this grove. We were sent by the police to assist in handling the case." Ji Danchen handed his work card to the old man and asked, "May I ask your surname?"

"Miangui's surname is Zhang..." The janitor replied with inertia, and then suddenly seized him like fear, causing his nostrils to dilate continuously, and he asked, "Did someone die again in the small forest?" Ji Danchen noticed , His hands trembled slightly.

"That's right, Principal Zhang. It seems that you know something about the last case. Can we sit down somewhere and talk about these two cases in detail?" Ji Danchen's attitude was very polite, but his tone was As if no one could refuse, he stretched out his hand slightly and made a "please" gesture.

School worker Zhang seemed very unwilling to have anything to do with this matter, but he also knew that if he was really a member of the police, he would have no reason to refuse no matter what, so he threw the broom on the ground in despair, and took Ji Danchen and the other three with him. A cat came to a side door of the dormitory.

He selected a key from the rope tied to his trousers to open the iron door, and a dark corridor appeared in front of them.He opened the first door on the right. Inside were two bunk beds, but only the two lower beds had bedding.There are two wooden tables in the empty space in front, but there is only one chair.School worker Zhang let Ji Danchen and others sit on one of the beds, while he stood leaning on the iron bedpost of the other bed, appearing even more hunched.

Ying Chaoyang sniffed around, jumped onto Ji Danchen's lap, put his head close to Ji Danchen's ear and whispered, "This smells like wild boar essence." Ji Danchen nodded slightly, indicating that he knew.

Trembling, the old man took out a bag of big front doors from his trousers, and gave it to Ji Danchen and Ao Ze.Ao Ze shook his head, Ji Danchen took one, old man Zhang lit it, and caught it in his finger.Old man Zhang took a deep breath of the cigarette, and when the pungent tobacco smell filled his lungs, he said, "Comrade policeman, if you have any questions, please ask."

"Sit down, too." Ji Danchen asked Zhang Xiaogong to sit down and asked, "About the murder of the couple seventeen days ago, do you have anything to tell us?"

"Comrade police, don't you know?" The janitor Zhang was a little surprised, but he understood in an instant, and said with a wry smile: "That's right, it was two young people who asked me that time. In fact, the couple seventeen days ago were my favorite couple." Discovered first."

"Oh? Tell me." Ji Danchen shook the ashes and said.

"Hey, what else is there to say? I've said all I need to say." Zhang Zhang said, "It's my fault. During those days, my colleague who was shifting with me suddenly resigned, and no suitable person was recruited here. I have to take two morning shifts..."

At five o'clock in the morning that day, the janitor Zhang had already dressed, picked up the big broom, and walked into the small woods while scolding the coward who resigned.

At this time, the sky was already hazy with a little bit of light, but it was still mostly dark.There was no one in the grove, and even the noisy birds seemed to have lost their voices, so he just scratched the ground with a broom.Anyway, the ground that was swept clean in the morning will still be piled up with fallen leaves in the afternoon. This is the most remote corner of the campus, and there are rumors of ghosts. Except for romantic and exciting young couples, no one comes here casually.

When he slowly reached the center of the woods, he smelled a bloody smell—thick, pungent, and salty.

Someone once said that smell is the best carrier to preserve memory, which may be true.Because an image immediately appeared in front of Xiaogong Zhang's eyes. It was a smashed head like a watermelon, and white brains flowed out from the broken shell.There was a big puddle of blood on the ground, so much blood that even the soil couldn't absorb it all.The corpse's hands were spread out, like a bird wanting to fly, but her eyes were full of accusations against the world, anger and despair.

School worker Zhang shook his head, dismissed the old things, and comforted himself: "It's still a woods, and there are all kinds of small animals in it, maybe it's a dead snake or a rabbit, so we can add it tonight." It's time to eat." But this delusion was extinguished within a few seconds, because he turned around a big tree, and soon saw the extremely weird and terrifying scene in front of him——

A pair of strange humanoid creatures lay twisted on the ground. It was said that they were humanoid creatures because the skin around them was gone, and only the bloody flesh was exposed, which was extremely ugly.Both bodies were missing a leg, but they were placed in a posture with their hands facing the sky, as if they had taken off the skin of their bodies like a piece of clothing...

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Zhang Xiaogong fell to the ground in fright. Without strength, he hurried back to the dormitory to find his colleagues, and waited for another whole day before he was able to answer the police's questions.

"After that day, I will die and never take the morning shift again." School worker Zhang grinned, showing two broken teeth, and said with a wry smile.

"Do you know a man named Zhu Dahei?" Ji Danchen asked suddenly.

"It's that Guier who resigned quietly, causing me to take two morning shifts. Otherwise, where would I be the one who saw the dead body?" Zhang janitor threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with his feet. Say it harshly.

"I heard that two days before he left, the gate here suddenly opened. Do you know what happened? And what about the rumor about the school workers' dormitory being haunted?" Ji Danchen asked.

When the janitor heard this, his face turned pale immediately, and he lost his vicious attitude just now. He laughed twice and said, "Comrade police, this is all superstition, do you still believe in this?"

"If you ask me, just answer, don't do Tai Chi." Ji Danchen said with a dark face, he had a straight cut hair, a pair of thick eyebrows, and he really looked a bit like the vicious King of Hades.

"Then...then can we go outside and talk about it here, it's unlucky to say..." the school worker Zhang said submissively.

"Okay, you lead the way." Ji Danchen spoke very well this time, and stood up directly, and Ao Ze, Heinrich, and Ying Chaoyang who were sitting beside him also stood up.

They walked north from the staff dormitory, and soon came to the root of the school wall. Outside was the busy road, and the gloomy atmosphere was swept away.

"I'm really an unlucky person." The school worker Zhang said in a daze: "At home, my mother-in-law ran away with someone, and my parents are five-guarantee households, disabled. The baby is brought to them in my hometown, and I can only rely on me in S city. Such a small salary. This rumor about the janitor’s dormitory is actually nonsense, it was made up by those boring college students who saw that the windows on the two floors above us were locked and the door was always closed.”

"But they're talking nonsense, and it's not unfounded. 18 years ago, this was a girls' dormitory, and I just came here to work, and I was also responsible for sweeping the floor. One day, a girl jumped off the roof and committed suicide. Originally, the fourth floor was not too high, but she was unlucky, the back of her head hit the ground, and the brains flowed all over the floor. I was responsible for cleaning her body.

"After that incident, many girls reported that they could always hear some strange noises in the dormitory, such as crying, screaming, etc. I think it was their own imagination. But at that time, there was a lot of trouble, and many The female students signed their signatures to move out. The school had no choice but to let them move out when the new dormitory was built the next year. This dormitory was also abandoned, and the gate was locked since then. Five years ago, the school changed The new principal felt that there was obviously no problem here, so he opened the building to serve as a dormitory for school staff. Because we were small and scattered, we only lived on two floors, so the school didn't bother to open the gate, and we kept coming in and out through the side door. Nothing to do with hauntings."

"You're lying!" Ji Danchen said.
