Sala de Astrología con carne y hueso

Capítulo 9

After more than a century of weathering and renovations two years ago, it looks almost brand new. But walking into the basement, however, reveals...

It has a library-like feel, making it hard to believe that the exterior is of a well-equipped building. The interior is so magnificent.

But the bottom is so ugly, like the contrast between a swan and a frog.

Finally, they arrived at the door of the old archives room. Looking at the lock on the door, everyone was both amused and exasperated. Last time, Li Ke's visit was rushed...

I only remembered Professor Chen mentioning that the door was locked, but I didn't really see what kind of lock it was. Everyone initially thought it might be one of those old-fashioned locks from before Liberation.

I brought a hammer because I knew it was a lock, and I also brought wire and a phone card, thinking it might be a common door lock these days. But I never expected...

It turned out to be an advanced electronic combination lock. All their preparations were in vain; aside from the 'confirm' and 'cancel' buttons,

There are ten keys from 0 to 9. It is said that this kind of combination lock will automatically alarm if you enter the wrong key three times, so we had to leave empty-handed!

Back in the dormitory, everyone was shocked; the room was completely flooded! The water was a dark yellow color, although...

The water flowed down the stairs, but there was no sign of it decreasing. What's going on? Everyone knows about the walls and ceilings of dormitory stairwells...

There was slight water overflow on both floors, immediately indicating a problem on the sixth floor. Several people rushed up to the sixth floor to seek answers, but the sixth floor...

Not a drop of water could be seen in the corners of the walls or on the floor. Only the fifth floor and below were affected. Everyone spent the entire afternoon cleaning; the rooms...

The water level didn't decrease. In the evening, when everyone gave up, the water receded.

Many strange things happened after that.

A strange smell started appearing in our dorm room. No matter how much we cleaned, ventilated, or even used air freshener, the smell persisted.

It just can't be eliminated. It's like a foul odor, a strange foul odor.

Later, Wu Xi started having strange dreams. During that time, Wu Xi was always worried that he was going to die because of the woman...

The child had frequent strange dreams before he died!

The difference was that the girl didn't remember what she dreamed about, but Wu Xi vaguely remembered something, and said with certainty...

It is a sentence.

According to him, it seems like someone is always talking to him in his dreams, but he doesn't remember who it is or what the dreams are about.

I remember a saying: "Good friends stand back to back."

Wu Xi grew increasingly haggard, and everyone was deeply worried about him. Xu Xian had tried many methods, but none could help.

He tried to get rid of the nightmares. Finally, he decided to switch beds with Wu Xi. It worked; Wu Xi stopped having those strange nightmares.

It was a dream, but Xu Xian had never had that strange dream...

A month has passed, and their room still has that strange smell.

One day, Xu Xian accidentally bumped into a boy while getting food. The boy looked very haggard.

The moment their bodies touched, he read his heart—"Good friends, back to back."

He decided to talk to that boy.

But before evening, the tragic news of the boy's accident spread throughout the campus.

It's said that in the "Art Appreciation" class, the boy started sleeping from the beginning and was still lying there after class. The boy next to him...

The girl pushed him, and he fell down. When he died, there was a strange hand gesture—his left hand had five fingers.

Clench all four fingers except the thumb, as in the gesture used when praising someone, raising the thumb. Gently open the right palm.

It rests on the left hand.

Upon examination, it was determined that the boy died of a heart attack.

Things are definitely not that simple, Xu Xian decided to go to their dormitory that night to check.

Returning from the boy's dormitory, Xu Xian fell silent. He knew he needed to find out the truth, otherwise...

There will definitely be more deaths, and the others don't know what to do either. They can only follow Xu Xian's advice.

Xu Xian decided to go to the library basement again, and even if he had to smash it open, he would break down the door to that old archive room. He was very strong-willed.

Lie had a strong feeling that the data room held the answers he sought. But first, he needed to figure out how the boy had died.

Is it really cardiac arrest?

He decided to summon the dead, something he had never done before, but now he wanted to give it a try.

That evening, there were six people in the room. He took a piece of paper and wrote down the Chinese pinyin table on it, sometimes writing it as 26.

The alphabet. Draw two small squares, one side saying "Inviting the spirit tablet" and the other side saying "Sending off the spirit tablet." Draw two circles above, one on each side.

Mark one side as YES and the other side as NO. This way, you can simply point to this side when answering a yes/no question. Then add another coin.

All done. Prepare the props, plus a few soul-sending talismans, one soul-summoning talisman, and a peace talisman. Most importantly, the lighter must not be...

Forget about the pen. Everything is prepared perfectly.

Xu Xian asked Li Ke and Liu Bin for help, placing their right index fingers on the coin, with the coin positioned in the empty space in the middle.

After giving a brief explanation, he began chanting incantations. Because the spirits feared light, they used only a small flashlight to illuminate the entire sheet of paper.

The other people looked terrifying in the light.

They lit the invocation talisman with a lighter, and as the talisman burned, a gust of cold wind blew into their dormitory in the midsummer heat.

It was incredibly cool at night.

The coin slid from the blank space to the memorial tablet, indicating that the wronged spirit has been summoned.

He started asking questions.

---Magpie Bridge Fairy

Reply [13]: "What's your name?"

YANG TAO

The coin slid slowly across the paper. "Yang Tao?" he read aloud.

Move the coin to the YES position.

"Can you tell me what happened at the library that day?"

The coin jiggled.

"If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. I don't want to and won't force you."

The coins stopped for a moment, then began to move slowly.
