Over the years, when it comes to campus ghost stories and girls' dormitories, it's still about two girls fighting over one man, or about a particularly handsome senior on campus who is secretly admired by everyone, leading to fierce competition and even girls resorting to crooked methods to win his affections.
Is my senior the only man left in the world? Or are celebrities just harder to pursue?
Lin Han said that girls' dormitories are now polarized. Can you consider the psychological feelings of an entire dormitory of people who have never been in a relationship?
Therefore, in Lin Han's ghost story, the reason for the haunting of the girls' dormitory is very realistic: various trivial matters in daily life accumulate and attract vengeful spirits. The way out is simple: be generous and act as a peacemaker.
Since Yingshan is a man, the setting was modified when the ghost story happened to him. Not long after, Yingshan's residence suddenly changed; it was said that he rented an abandoned girls' dormitory and had several male roommates.
Meanwhile, the Earl, upon reading this story, immediately knew what Ying Shan had done to Lin Han, and asked no further questions.
However, before Yingshan could even feel smug, Xiaoyun also received an email notification.
The editorial team's stories were to create humorous anecdotes about their work. During this unusual time, the stories also required the inclusion of supernatural phenomena.
Xiaoyun flipped through a few articles, glancing at the people in the office from time to time as she read.
Well...
The character portrayal doesn't match up at all.
"The editorial department you're writing about is definitely not the same place I work in," the editor-in-chief said, looking at everyone with a benevolent gaze. What on earth is this?
After forcing herself to scroll to the bottom, the funny face on the back of Xiaoyun's head made a sound:
"Huh?"
It was still Lin Han.
Lin Han also explained his reason for writing this time, but it was only one sentence:
I'll take over all the articles from your editorial department.
This piece is truly unique in style compared to the others.
Xiaoyun took the manuscript to the Earl to look at, and then glanced at Yingshan.
The Earl said, "Yingshan, you'll have to cooperate."
The person who will die in the story is Xiaoyun, but there is another person involved in this story.
Yingshan.
In the story, Ying Shan has a crush on Xiao Yun and showers her with attention. However, Xiao Yun actually has feelings for Cheng Yungui and is also plotting against Lu Mingran. Incidentally, apart from the Earl, everyone in the office is also plotting against Lu Mingran.
Just before leaving get off work in the afternoon, Xiaoyun stood up, making a clattering sound as she walked towards Cheng Yungui and Lu Mingran.
Facing the two people, Xiaoyun made a heart shape with her hands, expressionless and stiff.
Afterwards, Xiaoyun left without looking back after finishing her part in the script, with Yingshan following behind her, acting quite like a suitor.
They walked through the mall on the second basement level. After a while of silence, Xiaoyun suddenly spoke:
"You stole Julie's Blood Spider, didn't you? Who did you go to deal with, Lin Han?"
Seeing that Yingshan did not respond, Xiaoyun stopped in her tracks:
"According to the script, I should find a reason to dump you."
Okay, good luck.
Yingshan stood there with his hands in his pockets, watching Xiaoyun walk towards the toilet on the left. He was completely unaware of the danger that was approaching.
In the novel, the manuscript that Xiaoyun was originally supposed to receive was related to Cheng Yungui, who would stand here and hear the heartbeat of the evil dragon.
Now the person has been replaced by Ying Shan, and that's problematic.
Ying Shan and the others had all drunk the Earl's blood and were tainted by the Earl's aura; their hearts hated the Earl's side the most.
Thump, thump... The sound of his heart pounding grew louder and louder. Yingshan heard it but didn't realize he should run away.
Above his head, the yellow lampposts began to converge into a very thin beam, like the golden vertical pupils in a dragon's eyes.
Ying Shan was completely unaware of the danger and even called Lin Han:
"I only asked you to submit an article for me, why did you also write an article for Xiaoyun?"
He was speaking when he heard footsteps.
A thin young man was walking towards him from the depths on the right. After the young man stopped in front of him, Yingshan finally realized that the beating of the heart was not right.
Lin Han threw something on the ground.
It was that fountain pen.
As Ying Shan's expression gradually contorted with pain, Lin Han said something to him, and in the empty second basement level, those words echoed:
"You're letting me choose?"
Do you know that I didn't have to choose? I've always stood by Cheng Yungui's side.
Chapter 71 Want to find the heart? No way (7)
The pen rolled a few times on the ground, its dark barrel reflecting the golden light. When it finally came to a shaky stop, it was just as Lin Han finished speaking the last word.
I have always stood by Cheng Yungui.
The NPC in his eyes told him with pity that all his efforts were a joke.
Ying Shan looked at the person in front of him in confusion. He didn't understand what everything he was going through had to do with the young man in front of him, and he didn't understand why the other party was so determined to stand on Cheng Yungui's side.
"Do you know..." Ying Shan squeezed out a mocking sound from his throat, "that you are actually just an NPC, and the world you are in is a quest instance."
Why are you being so good to Cheng Yungui? Is it worth it?
Lin Han nodded, signaling him to continue.
At this point, Ying Shan was already having difficulty breathing. He was eagerly anticipating Lin Han's shocked reaction after hearing his words, but to his disappointment, Lin Han showed no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.
After Ying Shan finally finished speaking, Lin Han smiled and asked him to make a choice. This young man was clearly thin and frail, yet he exuded a certain sense of pressure as he stood there.
"I have two truths to tell you. The first one won't make you so desperate, while the second one will make you very desperate. Which one do you want to hear?"
"Fine, I'll tell you everything."
Lin Han stepped forward, picked up the pen, and took out a piece of paper. This pen would recognize another owner when its original owner died, and Lin Han had just become its new owner.
Upon seeing Lin Han grasp the pen, Ying Shan showed a moment of fear, clearly afraid that Lin Han would transfer the curse back and use his blood to write.
"Oh, so you do feel pain," Lin Han laughed. "Why didn't you think of that when you secretly slipped it to me?"
Seeing that Yingshan was about to stop breathing, Lin Han stopped talking and gently said to him:
"Actually, I am Lu Mingran. Of course I have to be good to Cheng Yungui, really, really good to him."
Yingshan suddenly felt like he couldn't catch his breath.
Lin Han said something that left him breathless:
"Also, you are the NPC; you triggered the dragon's curse. Furthermore, your life up to this point has been a plot from a book."
The world is quiet.
The next moment, Yingshan disappeared, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground.
Lin Han knew that the heart had devoured him. With a hint of disgust, he threw the pen into the pool of blood, had the system handle it, and then looked to his left.
I wonder if Xiaoyun has finished her task. The story he gave her was very simple: the second basement level used to be an orphanage, full of vengeful spirits, and playing "Baby, I'm sorry" on her phone would solve the problem.
But this is no ordinary place; it is the second underground level, the closest to the heart of the evil dragon, and the terror of the Dalabeng family surpasses everything.
"To show respect, you should say the full name."
After muttering something to himself, Lin Han whispered, "Dalabeng Nicholas."
————————
Yingshan is dead.
According to the rules, everyone was supposed to come back and work overtime that night. After leaving the second basement level, Xiaoyun went straight to the office and sat there waiting for the other editors.
The first person to enter was the bald man who hadn't gone far. Upon entering and seeing Xiaoyun sitting there unharmed, he was stunned.
"You're not dead?"
Immediately afterwards, the others returned one after another. Xiaoyun lowered her head and said, "Yingshan is dead."
This was something no one expected. He was just a minor character in that horror story; Xiaoyun came back alive and well, so how could he have died?
Julie handed Xiaoyun a cup of milk tea: "When you came out, he was already gone?"
Xiaoyun remained silent, looking as if she were frightened. At that moment, everyone in the office was focused on her. Under such gazes, Xiaoyun's hand holding the milk tea cup trembled inexplicably, and instead of putting the straw to her mouth, she poked it into her cheek.
The bald man said coldly, "The trash over there didn't die, but we've already lost two people here, and one of us is terrified."
The two people who were called "trash" sat opposite him. Cheng Yungui said indifferently, "Those who can survive are not trash."
The bald man fell silent. In this world, survival truly proves strength. Ying Shan had looked so smug after receiving the manuscript; who could have imagined that he would die in another story so soon after?
The only one who doesn't know about Yingshan right now is the Earl. He was the last to return. The story in the manuscript that Yingshan accepted happened to him, and he only rushed back after dealing with the matter.
When he discovered that Yingshan was missing from the office, his reaction was not so strong; he simply sat down with a frown.
Unlike that night when I worked overtime, tonight, the spirits of the dead from Yingshan appeared.
This was truly a terrifying thing. Everyone witnessed Yingshan suddenly appear in his seat, seemingly normal as a living person, but everyone knew he was dead.
Not only that, Ying Shan also made a hoarse sound in his throat, laughing as he showed everyone his mouth, which had had its tongue pulled out.
However, the count's people didn't care at all, because the count had the ability to rewind time. He could capture the dead and directly sense the cause of their death.
Ying Shan's death was caused by a dragon's curse. This is a hidden storyline in this world that Cheng Yungui is waiting to explore. It is not open to others for the time being, and the Earl cannot find out anything about it.
Moreover, although Yingshan died from this, who did he hate the most before he died?
It was Lin Han. To be precise, it was Lin Han who called herself "Lu Mingran".
Yingshan twisted his creaking neck, his resentful eyes scanning the surroundings before settling on Lu Mingran.
It's him, it's definitely him.
Finally, I can become a ghost and take revenge. That's probably the only good thing about being a ghost.
With a creak, creak, Ying Shan stood up, his flesh twisted into strange angles, and approached Lu Mingran step by step.
