Upstairs in the study, the lamp on the table emits a soft light. I was flipping through the materials when someone put a cup of tea on the table.

When he raised his head, he saw Shen Mengtian, and asked in some surprise, "Why are you here?" ”

"I told my parents that I would come to Uncle Xu to play here today and stay for a few days. My parents have no objections, just can help you, I'll help you see these materials. ”

She took a stack of books from next to me and sat down beside her, looking down intently.

The soft light reflects the girl's side face, delicate face, smooth skin like white jade, which exudes a faint bookish atmosphere, making people feel fresh and comfortable.

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

She seemed to sense something, and turned her head strangely to me.

"It's nothing, I just think you look very beautiful like this, although it can't be said to be a sinking fish and a goose, but it can also be called a soft jade surface."

In order to avoid embarrassment, I deliberately teased.

"By the way, I heard Cui Zhen say that your mother and your father are divorced, and now they are back from Hong Kong, so why don't you go to Hong Kong with her?"

I didn't want to mention it, but she grabbed it and asked.

"It's nothing, she's more of a stranger to me, and I don't hate her, I don't like her. My personality is like this, if I don't get something that I've been desperately trying to get, I won't want it if it is delivered to my door one day. When I was a child, I wanted her to be with me and witness my growth, but unfortunately she didn't show up. Now when I don't need her to show up, she suddenly came and said she wanted to give me a good life. I'm not rare......"

I shrugged my shoulders and said the truth.

"Oh...... If, I mean, if your mother is in trouble in the future, you also know that the work you and Cui Zhen are doing is quite special, and there are many troubles that ordinary people can't solve, if your mother encounters such trouble, will you help? Still don't save ...... when you die."

Shen Mengtian was still a little embarrassed when he asked.

I said generously: "After all, she gave birth to me, I call her a lifelong mother, although I don't go with her and don't take her money, but I will definitely help her when she is in trouble." Okay, I'm going to look at the materials, there are still some books to look through, and the more information we find, the more I will know about the students in your school. That's right...... Can you arrange for me to meet the first sick child in your class tomorrow, I want to see his parents. ”

"I know the address of his house, but no one has opened the door for me a few times, but I can take you there."

Shen Mengtian nodded and agreed.

The materials in the library are still limited, and we can find very little after all.

"Let me tell you about the information that has been put together, first of all, we can conclude that there are three supernatural ghosts in the school. The first is black and sticky, with red black shadows on the eyes. The second is a ghost that is strong enough to ascend to the human body and can control people. Third, it is the ghost of the Japanese soldiers. The first two have not yet found their source, and the third can basically be determined to be the product of the Onmyoji during the War of Resistance Against Japan. Combined with the sudden indifference of some children in the class, there is no way to cope with it for the time being. Now if we want to investigate, we have to divide the soldiers into two ways, today Shen Mengtian and I will go to visit the home of the child who first fell ill, and the fat man and Luo Qiong The two of you will go to Senior Han once to ask if there was a similar situation in the past. ”

The fat man was a little disappointed when he heard my deployment, and originally thought that he would be able to spend a day alone with Shen Mengtian today.

I sat in the guard room of the uncle on duty and waited for Shen Mengtian to get off work, the weather was quite good during the day, but I didn't expect the sky to change a little in the afternoon, and the air was quite humid, looking like it was going to rain.

"The weather in Shanghai has been changing quite fast lately, you see, it's like it's going to rain."

The doorman said with a smile.

I nodded, and at this moment Shen Mengtian walked out of the school, and when he saw me from afar, he smiled and beckoned. When I was about to walk over, the old man behind me snickered and said, "This girl is a good person, and she is a good match for you." ”

I ran out in embarrassment, and the two of us met and walked out of the school gate.

"The first sick child was named Li Jinquan, and I learned more about the background of the family today, his father was originally a stevedore at the wharf, and his mother was a farmer, but a few years ago there was an accident at the wharf, and his father was crushed in the accident and broke his spine, and now he is lying at home in a delirious state, basically living on liquid food. My mother has worked hard in the past few years, and her education level is not high, so she only graduated from primary school. My family is in the village south of the school, you come with me, I know you. ”

The fat people and the families they surveyed before didn't seem to be happy and wealthy, is this a coincidence? After taking two steps, I asked strangely, "By the way, what about Li Jinquan?" Why don't we just let this kid take us to the house? ”

Shen Mengtian turned his head and said softly: "He hasn't come to class for two days, even if you don't bring it up yesterday, I will visit your home today." ”

Two days...... Wasn't that the same when we visited school at night? Why did he take a leave of absence after our night visit to school? It's too accurate at this time.

The two of them took two stops on the bus, and when they came down, they were opposite the village, and the sky was completely overcast by this time. The bus slowly drove away behind us, and when we looked up, we could see a thick cloud over the village, and huge shadows cast down, as if the whole village was under a terrible hand.

Even if I haven't walked in yet, I can already feel the oppressive breath, Teacher Shen Mengtian was about to go inside but was pulled by me, she looked back at me strangely, and heard me whisper: "Be careful, something is wrong with this village......"

Walking along the path at the entrance of the village, there were no weeds on either side of the path, and before I reached the entrance of the village, I noticed that the trees around the village seemed to be dead, and I looked down at the fields. The farmer lives on the farmland, so he should take care of it, but at this time, most of the fields I saw were also dead.

Lifeless, the word is apt to describe the scene in front of you.

When we entered the village, we saw several men standing on the side of the road smoking, one of them wearing galoshes, and the other two were dressed as peasants, who were chatting with us, but as soon as they saw us enter the village, they immediately stopped talking and stared at us instead.

"Teacher Shen, have you been like this a few times before?"

I asked curiously.

"Pretty much, they don't seem to like outsiders very much, but they shouldn't hurt us. In front of us is Li Jinquan's home, let's go. ”

Even ordinary people like Shen Mengtian sensed that something was wrong, and the speed of their speech became significantly faster, and they urged me to move forward, which was enough to show the gloom of this village.

Li Jinquan's house is a large courtyard, two side-by-side bungalows, surrounded by a fence, the wooden door is locked, I looked through the fence, it seems that plants have been planted in the past but now they are dead, and there are no chickens or dogs, which is rare in the countryside. If there is such a big yard, ordinary people will raise some animals.

"Is anyone home? I am Li Jinquan's teacher, and I came to visit my home. ”

Shen Mengtian stood at the door and shouted inside, but there was no response for a long time, and the house was also dark, and it seemed that no one was there.

"I'm Teacher Shen Mengtian, Li Jinquan hasn't come to class for two days, is there anyone at home?"

Shen Mengtian continued to shout, and I walked towards the fence, slowly going around to the side of the two bungalows, and after a closer look, it seemed that there was a person sitting at the window, but the curtains were half-hidden and could not be seen clearly.

"It seems that no one is at home, will they take Li Jinquan to other places?"

Shen Mengtian said helplessly.

I shook my head, tried to lean against the fence and looked inside, looked at it closely, and then turned back and shouted, "There are people at home, and Li Jinquan is sitting at the window." ”

Hearing this, Shen Mengtian hurriedly walked over, looked in the direction of my finger, and sure enough, he saw the child sitting at the window in a daze. She hurriedly shouted: "Li Jinquan, I'm Teacher Shen, you help me open the door!" ”

But Li Jinquan didn't react at all, like a puppet.

"It seems to be getting worse."

I said with a frown.
