Journey to the Stars

Some people say that a new journey often kicks off on a sunny morning.

On the first day of school, every freshman’s face is full of greenness and vigor. They have just left their familiar hometown, carrying bulging luggage and the eager eyes of their relatives to a completely unfamiliar city, boldly walking into the long-awaited city. "Ivory tower" life.

In order to facilitate the registration of freshmen, the school specially arranged for senior student volunteers to greet them at the school gate.Xinrou came to Shanghai by train from her hometown alone. Before leaving, the old lady frantically packed all the food and clothing into the box.Who is to worry about the mother who travels thousands of miles? Poor her little arm is about to be broken.

At this time, a senior sister took the initiative to help her share half of the luggage, and asked her what department she was in?

"My name is Ru Xinrou, majoring in journalism and communication."

"That's right, just follow me, let's take you to go through the formalities first."

After finishing speaking, he led Xinrou to a stall in front of him.Each table is divided into different departments or majors. Freshmen take out admission notices, student files and other relevant certificates and register their personal information. The library card and so on have also been processed at one time.

After finishing the work, the senior sister remembered that she forgot to introduce herself.

"I'm your sophomore class tutor, my name is Yao Yixuan."

"Then sister Yao, you should take good care of me in the future!" Xinrou felt very lucky to meet such a friendly senior sister when she first came to university.

"You came to school so early, you probably haven't eaten yet?"

When she asked Xinrou, she suddenly thought of something, and took out a bag of stinky food from her backpack. Sister Yao could smell stinky tofu from a distance.

"These are all homemade by my mother. She knew that I loved food since I was a child, so she insisted on me bringing them here."

"Wow~ I love stinky tofu too! Your family is amazing and will make this kind of snack." The seductive color made sister Yao swallow her saliva, "Let's go! Let's go to the cafeteria, I've ordered the drinks .Then I will take you to find the dormitory, and if you have time, get familiar with the school environment by the way.”

"Okay!"

Sister Yao said that our school is not very big, Shanghai is very expensive, the campus is basically connected to the outside world, and there is a small branch campus nearby.But remember that there is one place where it is best not to wander around if there is nothing to do, and that is the forbidden area of ​​the east gate of the school!

"Forbidden place?" Xinrou's little heart involuntarily went cold.

Sister Yao is like a psychic who knows everything about everything, telling the "ferocious" rumors that happened there in a serious manner.It has been 60 years since the school was established. Many years ago, the area of ​​the forbidden area and the adjacent factory were divided into half of the area.Now the factory has long been closed down and abandoned, and the remaining few dilapidated small warehouses have all been bought by the school, but it seems that they have been idle and there is no movement.Two years ago, a student passed by at night, and suddenly saw a white light shining from a window on the second floor of a certain warehouse in the distance. He fixed his eyes and saw that there was a tall woman with braids standing there, with a dirty face. She opened her mouth wide open, and a strange and shrill voice came from her.After that, I heard from time to time that someone would pick up half of their braids on the road. This is one of the seven strange stories on campus, the midnight singer incident!

In addition, there is an unnamed lake next to the forbidden area. It is said that a teacher of a certain department sprinkled paper money around the lake on the night of Qingming Festival, acting as if bewitched.Believe it or not, someone discovered that the entire topographic layout of the forbidden area looks like a skull when viewed from the sky... Since then, it has been sealed as a forbidden area by the majority of students, and few people dare to step into it.

Sure enough, every school is a breeding ground for supernatural events.

Just thinking about it made Xinrou feel chilly, so scared that she took a few steps back and almost bumped into a boy wearing a peaked cap.The boy's hat has stars printed on it, and he is carrying a guitar on his back.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"Hello, I'm Qian Xingyi, majoring in Journalism and Communication."

"Surname Qian? What a rare surname!"

The registered senior sister took the information and confirmed it twice before she believed that she really had this surname.It is also the same process operation, but it seems that there is a problem on Xingyi's side.She explained that it was about dormitory allocation, and asked a sophomore senior to take Xingyi to the office on the third floor of the teaching building directly in front of him to find a counselor.

"Wait a minute." The senior sister called Xingyi again after walking two steps, "Just let us take care of your guitar for a while, so you don't have to run up and down with it on your back."

Xingyi thanked him and left the guitar.

College counselors are mainly responsible for the ideological and political education of students and the management of daily affairs of the class.As the teaching position with the most contact with students, an excellent and competent counselor can act as a life mentor and bosom friend for the healthy development of students' physical and mental health.Xingyi's counselor is in his early thirties, and he exudes a refined scholarly air from his appearance to his manner and conversation.The counselor feels very sorry, because the school has continued to expand its enrollment over the past few years, resulting in a shortage of dormitory beds, and some students are still in the process of implementing it, so they need to wait for a while.

Sitting in the office for a long time is a bit boring, but I am too embarrassed to take out my headphones to listen to music.Half an hour later, a teacher who just went upstairs complained about the sudden heavy rain outside while shaking the raindrops off his shoulders.Xingyi immediately thought of his guitar, and ran to the window to look down. The volunteers at the booth were caught off guard and squeezed into the small shed in embarrassment.The weather was really unpredictable, it was clear that the sun was shining just now.

The senior who was in charge of the guitar was squeezed to the side, and the rain dripped on him.Although the guitar bag is waterproof, in order to prevent damage from moisture, the senior stuffed the guitar into his shirt to block it.After the registered senior sister saw it, she asked him to put it inside, preferring to leave the little space left for this musical instrument, which occupies at least half of her body.

Fortunately, it was just a passing cloud and rain, and the sky returned to clear after the dark clouds dispersed.

The teacher came here to tell the counselor that there was a bed available for immediate occupancy, but it was mixed with third-year students from other majors.The list of other dormitories is still being sorted out and may not be finalized until the afternoon.

The counselor asked Xingyi if he would like to move to the mixed dormitory, and Xingyi said yes.His expression is so sincere, in fact, no matter whether the school's hardware facilities, system planning and other aspects are satisfactory, he feels that he will not have any regrets in choosing this school!

Room 502 in the junior dormitory building.

The senior knocked vigorously in front of the door several times but no one answered. I thought it was really strange that no one was there?Xing Yi seemed to have discovered the "New World", beckoning his seniors to look over, there was an interesting thing pasted by the door.

It was a house number cut out of a thick colored cardboard, with the words Room502 written on the top like a horizontal batch.

Below the horizontal batch, there is a small line marked in parentheses: This is the dormitory of a proper family.

The next column reads in order: dormitory, class, rehearsal, wave, squatting.

The more interesting places are the next three lines.Each row has a small square cartoon character head, also made of paper, which is very vivid and painted.A long and straight slit was made on the cardboard so that the head portrait could move horizontally on it (a thick thread was stuck on the back of the head portrait, which was inserted into the other side of the cardboard and stuck so that the head portrait would not fall off easily).Simple but creative handicrafts, which are not available in other dormitories.

At this time, the three heads were neatly moved to the [Rehearsal] column.

"These kids are going to rehearse! What are you going to do?" Auntie the dormitory came over, and after understanding the situation, she took out the key from her pocket and opened the door for Xingyi.

"Hey, why are we so forgetful? There is an orientation party in the auditorium tonight, and you freshmen can watch it for free at night!" said the senior.

"A welcome party?"

"Yes, last semester the school's Blue Wing Drama Club took part in the city's drama competition and won the championship. The school felt very honored, so it decided to perform this play again as an event for the welcome party. Let me tell you, Blue Wing's play It's really worth seeing."

The three people in the dormitory are also members of the drama club?Xingyi thinks this is the most interesting place.

Regardless, after the senior left, Xingyi looked around the entire dormitory environment.An ordinary quadruple room, but fortunately there is an air conditioner and a separate bathroom.Although it doesn't have the big and bright accommodation like a high-end club like a domestic idol drama, the sparrow is small but has all the internal organs.He didn't have too many demands, just being neat and tidy was enough.

I didn't bring many belongings to the university. There were only fragments of daily necessities in the backpack, a few casual clothes, and a few music theory textbooks.

After everything was in order, Xingyi narrowed his eyes.Because of the noisy people on the train, I didn't sleep well last night.It was almost dusk when he woke up, and he went to the balcony to enjoy the breeze, feeling a little longing and nervous in his heart.Where are the roommates who have not returned so far come from?What kind of character is it?What unique and unforgettable experiences in universities will happen?

He wants to be a real and new self in this university.

"You let me go!!"

A shout from downstairs caught Xingyi's attention.

There were four boys surrounding a fat man, trying to snatch the saxophone from him, but the fat man refused, so they punched and kicked him.The fat man was desperately protecting the musical instrument in his arms, and after a while, his whole body was covered with stains, the air in his lungs was almost in and out, and he fell down weakly.The leader realized that their behavior was too ostentatious, so he ordered someone to drag the fat man to the shade of the tree.

Some people from the dormitories next door also came out to see what was going on, but most of them just cast a slightly condemning look, turned their heads and left without having anything to do with themselves.

The door to the dormitory of 502 was closed, leaving a dull echo in the air...

The leader of the four was Ni Jianjing, who was standing by the side with a cigarette in his mouth. He called himself Boss Ni, a rich second generation from a wealthy family, and often bullied this fat man named Wei Chao.The nicknames of the other three are Chang Wei, Tai Sui, and Satan. Although they all belong to the same profession, they are more like Ni Jianjing's followers.

What happened today was nothing more than that Ni Jianjing was interested in the saxophone that Wei Chao had just brought from his hometown, and wanted to play with it.Wei Chao disagreed, saying it was a relic left by his grandfather.When his grandfather was young, he used to play for a foreign jazz band in a big hotel in his hometown. Those foreigners were very affectionate, and they gave it to his grandfather as a gift when they returned home.Therefore, this saxophone is of great significance to Wei Chao, and no one is allowed to touch it indiscriminately.

"I don't know what to do, do I? I want you to look good!"

Ni Jianjing smirked twice, and burned Wei Chao's body with a cigarette end. The scorching pain quickly passed through the nerve conduction, making Wei Chao scream.

The more he howled like a pig, the more enjoyable Ni Jianjing felt.Seeing that the clothes are full of black scorched holes here and there.

"Tch, if you dare to provoke me again next time, I promise it will be a hundred times more serious than bruises." Taking advantage of Wei Chao being exhausted from torture, Ni Jianjing easily snatched the saxophone.Unexpectedly, he underestimated the opponent's ability to resist, Wei Chao broke free from the restraints of several followers like a frenzy, and bit Ni Jianjing's wrist fiercely.

"Fuck!" Ni Jianjing threw Wei Chao away vigorously and shouted, "Fuck your grandma's chest!"

In a rage, Ni Jianjing threw the saxophone to the ground, about to trample on it.

At this moment, a vigorous figure rushed forward and sprayed a pungent irritating spray in front of Ni Jianjing, causing his eyes to be so hot that he couldn't open them completely, and tears burst out.

The attendants were also stunned, and when they realized it, the man had already picked up the saxophone, shouted "Run quickly", and dragged Wei Chao away...

"A Quexi...why are you still standing there? Chase! Chase me!"

Unexpectedly, the first day of university is not a "beautiful journey", but a "journey to escape".

Ni Jianjing chased after him all the way, and every time he was about to get rid of it, he was quickly caught up.Especially the lumps of pork belly on Wei Chao's body obviously lacked exercise for a long time, and he was out of breath after walking a few steps. Xingyi ran faster than him even holding a saxophone.Wei Chao stopped and took a deep breath and asked why he wanted to help him. Xing Yi quickly replied, because he couldn't understand the behavior of bullying others.

"How about this, you find a place to hide first." Xingyi decided to divide the troops into two groups, "I'll lure them away."

However, the wild boar's expression was full of panic, and he pointed to Xingyi's back, as if there was something terrible.My God, they caught up so quickly?

Xingyi turned around and found only a dilapidated wooden plank stuck on the ground, with some faded writing on it, which read: Do not enter the forbidden area.

The senior also mentioned the rumor of the forbidden area just now, but he didn't ask about it specifically.

This is an abandoned factory, with several warehouses side by side. The unique sense of desolation seems to have left the school.Look, all the nearby plane trees are dead, and the bare branches stretch out to the sky like devil's claws.

Unknowingly, the sky darkened as if man-made.

Inadvertently, they saw that the door of one of the warehouses was unlocked.Even though the wild boar was trembling with fear, he slipped in regardless of Sanqi 21, and blocked the gate with a few boxes of sundries inside.

The warehouse has two floors, and a single floor can accommodate six to 700 people.This school is also really interesting. It obviously doesn't even have enough dormitory buildings, but such a large open space is left unoccupied.Xing Yi bravely walked to the end, and there was a place covered by a white cloth.

When I opened it out of curiosity, it turned out to be a variety of musical instruments!

Xingyi uses sunscreen spray intended for military training, which does not contain harmful ingredients such as alcohol.But Ni Jianjing has been rubbing his eyes vigorously, so more than ten minutes have passed, and the burning sensation in his eyes has not eased slightly, in fact, he caused it on his own.

A few of them came to the forbidden area to search around, and finally locked the unlocked warehouse.Satan stopped everyone with one hand and talked about those horrible rumors.

"Chang Wei... You are usually not afraid of anything, why don't you go in first!" Ni Jianjing urged.

"But I'm afraid of dogs! What if there are some vicious dogs inside..." Chang timidly said.

The sound of the discussion spread into the warehouse, and Wei Chao was so anxious that his hands were sweating, Xingyi told him not to move.Xing Yi thought to himself, they must not be allowed to break in, otherwise there would be no way to escape... Huh?One of those instruments was a...theremin?

The theremin is the world's first electronic musical instrument, and it is also played in the most special way because it does not require physical contact.Intuitively, it seems that its composition is only a box (with a circular circular antenna inside) and a vertical antenna.The circular antenna is used to adjust the volume, the closer the hand is, the lower the sound; the vertical antenna is used to adjust the frequency, the closer the hand is, the higher the pitch.

To put it bluntly, as long as you put your hand up, you can change the volume and frequency by changing the gesture, so as to produce a variety of sound effects, including background music that can create horror movies.

"You can play with this thing?"

"If you don't, you have to!"

Recalling that many years ago, Yan Hai bought a theremin in Band Village, and he watched how to operate it.After placing the instrument and finding the socket to turn on the power, Xingyi held his breath and slowly put one hand on it.Sure enough, there was a sharp sound, okay, try the other hand.

From Xing Yi's eyes, it can be seen that he seems to figure out the trick all at once.Wei Chao saw that he was just moving gestures randomly. He didn't know whether it was because of his high talent or the fact that the instrument was so easy to learn. If it was not a critical moment, he would also want to go forward and try it.

The shrill voice floated outside the door, and the group of people were really frightened, dragging Ni Jianjing away one by one.

Xing Yi and Wei Chao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help laughing out loud, these idiots must have thought they were going to be evil in broad daylight, right?

When the two walked out of the warehouse, Wei Chao bowed to thank him and introduced himself as a third-year communication engineering student named Wei Chao.

"Are those people also juniors? Why do they bully you?"

Wei Chao lowered his head, turned and left without saying anything, leaving only a long shadow behind him.

At the same time, the more Ni Jianjing thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He took out the Jade Buddha on his neck, A Quexi, why didn't he remember that he had this amulet that had been consecrated, why are he afraid of ghosts and ghosts?

Walk!we return!

"There's no need to go back." Tai Sui pointed to the front and said, "He's right there!"

At that time, Xingyi thought that they had already run far away, but it turned out that people were not as good as heaven, and within two steps, they met Ni Jianjing with an arrogant expression of "see where you can escape this time".

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Get out of the way!Get out of the way!

If it weren't for the fact that they didn't see the camera, the students on the school road would have thought it was a running outdoor reality show coming to our school to shoot!

A large number of students gathered on three floors outside the entrance of the school's small auditorium, all to watch the performance of the drama club.Xing Yi mixed into the crowd in order to cover his whereabouts.Ni Jianjing and the others also ran over, but they were thumping and rolling like they were caught in the waves, completely dizzy.By the time they recovered, they had already been pushed into the arena by the students.

Ni Jianjing swore that even if there were a hundred exits in the entire auditorium, he would cast a net to catch them out!

At this time, something happened in the backstage of the small auditorium.

"What? You're still stuck in traffic?" Xie Junfeng, who was in charge of answering the phone, took a while to speak, "Then what about our performance tonight? You are the lead singer!"

The signal on the other end of the phone was intermittent, and I vaguely heard saying: "I can't help it during the rush hour. You can sing on behalf of the madman. I believe you can handle it..."

The perfunctory answer made Gao Jieliang, who was standing beside him, mutter non-stop.

"I expected it a long time ago, only the three of us will play." Fu Xuanye picked up his own bass and walked towards the stage.

When the third son was about to go on stage, Xingyi, dressed as a lion, passed by.This puppet costume was dug out from the prop box. Although the headgear was so heavy that his neck was sore, at least no one knew who he was after wearing it.

"Brother, we are looking for someone, can I trouble you to take off the headgear?" Ni Jianjing was stopping an actor in a puppet costume in front.
