Chapter 161 Water Stains Outside the Window

After the thick electric light dissipated, Song Yutang heard noisy voices suddenly coming from not far away.

She looked in that direction and what came into view was the street across the park. Along with the crackling sound of electricity, the lights of several shops flickered on and off, and the people inside all ran out in panic to check the situation.

“Uh……”

It seems that she still underestimated the scope of her ability.

Song Yutang avoided the streets and unknowingly walked to the river.

She heard the sound of water rushing in the darkness and saw several fish with white bellies floating to the surface.

Even though they were more than ten meters away, they still couldn’t escape. Many fish in the river were electrocuted to death.
The girl looked forward again. The night wind blowing on her face brought sounds and scattered the unique smell produced by the ionized air. The superhuman senses of the spell-binding master allowed her to capture the conversation and the movements of others:

Whether on the bridge or on the roadside, people saw the unusual lightning strike in the park and were rushing over to check the situation.

Song Yutang stuck out her tongue.

“oops……”

She had run away from home to avoid attracting attention and found a remote place. But even if it was released into the air, the power of “Heavenly Thunder” was still astonishing.

The earth immortal system’s spell-binding masters were known for their powerful attacks. Her instantaneous output alone was able to reach the level of a second-class spell-binding master. The scene before her could be considered restrained.

It seemed that she couldn’t find a convenient place in the downtown area of ​​Tianhai City where she could exert her full strength.

…Why don’t I find a chance to ask Master? I have a feeling he must have a way.

Seeing someone coming, Song Yutang immediately prepared to escape. At present, she was still unable to adapt to the arrogance of the Curse Master. Her heart was pounding and she fled the scene quickly like a guilty thief.

*
The next day, Song Yutang, feeling that she was fully prepared, came to the dormitory building where Ke Junchen once lived.

She had already made an appointment with the senior who served in the Student Union to go check out the situation together, but she said she had something urgent to do and could not come.

“I won’t come this time, but don’t worry, someone is very interested in this matter, and she will send someone over.”

The senior student’s tone was mysterious.

“Who?”

“Our student union president is a junior like me. When she heard that I was asking about Ke Junchen, she said that she could take care of it.”

After hearing this, Song Yutang felt a little surprised.

“Student Council President…? Why would she care about something like this?”

“I don’t understand either. She seems to think that the school has been a bit chaotic recently, so she is wondering if there is a reason behind it. Didn’t you have a murder case there? It is said that even the building was blown up, and someone named Li Huishan is missing.”

“……um, yes.”

“After the chairman learned about this, she began to investigate all the student deaths that had occurred in recent years, including Ke Junchen’s case, even though he died during the summer vacation.”

As Song Yutang listened, she suddenly felt that the senior student had a special feeling towards the student union president. There was a kind of respect and even admiration between them.

The senior schoolmate she knew was, to put it nicely, careless, and to put it bluntly, she didn’t even take the teachers and college leaders seriously. She didn’t expect that she would be so respectful to someone.

“Because that person is amazing. I have never seen anyone as versatile as her.”

After Song Yutang asked this question, the senior student simply stopped hiding her feelings. Her tone was full of admiration, as if she was talking about her latest idol.

“Well, you’ll know when you see the real person.”

……

But in the end, she didn’t see that person. When Song Yutang arrived at the bottom of the dormitory building, she met two other student union members, one male and one female.

“You are Song Yutang, classmate Song?”

When the man saw her approaching, he immediately recognized her and walked forward to greet her with a smile.

“Ah, it’s me.”

Song Yutang said.

“The one with the ponytail and the prettiest one passing by… When the senior told me about this, I thought this standard was a joke.”

“Ah ha ha……”

In front of people she was not very close to, Song Yutang’s expression was a little stiff.

“Let’s go and check out the situation together.”

Following the students from the Student Union, Song Yutang walked up to the dormitory building. Ke Junchen’s dormitory was on the fourth floor, the top floor.

When they arrived, they saw a lot of people gathered in front of the dormitory door for some reason. When they went over to ask, they found out that it was Ke Junchen’s parents who came to the school to pack up his belongings.

Song Yutang saw the couple’s faces.

They are a pair of people who would be associated with words such as “simple” and “honest” when meeting them for the first time. They give people the impression that they come from an honest peasant family in the countryside; but upon closer inspection, one always feels that something is wrong.

This couple does not look like the middle-aged people who raised a college student. Even if they usually work in the fields, experiencing wind and sun, and age faster than city people, it should not be to this extent: they are like old people who have aged naturally in their twilight years, with deep wrinkles on their faces, sunken eye sockets, and when they open their mouths, there are no teeth inside, just dark holes.

She even thought of Voldemort from Harry Potter… which could be described as “Voldemort with wrinkled skin.”

Song Yutang was not quite used to it. She did not sense any supernatural power from the couple, and she also felt that it was wrong to judge people by their appearance, so she turned her eyes away and only glanced at them out of the corner of her eye.

The couple looked silent but not sad. They didn’t look like they had just lost their son. One of them asked with his stiff lips moving.

“Junchen…where are his bed and locker?”

“Here is…”

The deceased’s roommate led them.

When I opened the cupboard door, a foul odor filled the air.

Ke Junchen’s belongings were not many, mainly a few old clothes with several holes in them, and a cloth bag.

After lifting the old clothes, the stench became even stronger – underneath were the stuffed corpses of mice and sparrows, the rotten flesh on the skeletons had not been cleaned up, there were ants crawling around on them, and there were a few shrunken bugs;
After the cloth bag on the other side was opened, everyone in the dormitory except the old couple subconsciously covered their mouths and noses, almost vomiting.

On the unfolded bundle, they saw a dozen teeth neatly arranged. The teeth were uneven and crooked, dark yellow in color, and dried bloodstains could be seen at the roots of the teeth.

This obviously could not be the result of normal tooth replacement, as the man had almost all of his teeth pulled out.

Rather than calling it a “relic”, it’s more like a curse left behind.

The people present couldn’t help but think so.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

A student union member nearby sighed quietly.

Although most of the people who came here, including Song Yutang and the two student union members, had heard that Ke Junchen was a “god-man” who was completely incomprehensible to ordinary people, they were still shocked after witnessing him with their own eyes.

Ke Junchen’s roommates didn’t say anything. They all remained silent. After all, they were in front of someone else’s parents. But looking at their expressions, it was obvious that they felt sympathetic.

It was originally a room for six people, but now there are only two people left living in this bedroom.

Fortunately, the last curse left by the deceased was finally taken away.

After the old couple packed up their things, they casually put them into a sack. Judging from their attitude, they didn’t seem to care much…

While packing, their eyes wandered around corners like the closet and under the bed. Rather than packing up their son’s belongings, their purpose of coming here was more like looking for something that was missing. Song Yutang noticed this detail and asked directly.

“Uncle and aunt, what are you looking for? Do you need our help?”

The old man paused for a moment, raised his cloudy and lifeless eyes and stared at the girl’s face.

“Nothing.” After a half beat of delay, he replied slowly.

……

The two old men left quickly and took away all the suspicious objects in Ke Junchen’s cupboard and desk.

Watching the old couple’s backs disappear in the corridor, everyone felt a sense of relief.

“…I guess it’s settled now.”

One of them gave a wry smile.

After chatting for a while, Song Yutang asked:
“Have you encountered any strange things recently?”

“Strange things? No…”

Halfway through the conversation, the other party seemed to remember something.

“Oh, speaking of which, the weather here has been humid recently. There are a lot of water stains on the windows.”

“…water stains?”

“Yes, at first I thought it was because it rained in the middle of the night and the windows were not closed. Later I found that it happened even when the sun was shining. It was sunny yesterday and today, but when I woke up early this morning, I still saw wet marks…”

The roommate pointed downstairs.

“It’s not just our dormitory. There are similar traces in the dormitories next door and downstairs.”

Having said this, the other party pointed to the windowsill.

“You’ll know if you just go and take a look.”

Song Yutang followed instructions and walked to the windowsill, opened the window and looked down, and indeed found obvious wet marks.

It is clearly not the season for the return of the south wind, and the climate in the cold autumn should be cool and dry.

The girl’s eyebrows tightened.

“There’s a smell…”

There was a faint stench, like ammonia, not just water stains.

After smelling the odor, her first reaction was to move away and close the windows.

“Could it be that someone is pouring foot washing water from upstairs downstairs?”

“I think so, but after asking around, no one is willing to admit it.” The other party sighed, “Can you students from the student union take care of this matter?”

“Haha, we can’t take care of this. Go find your dorm manager.”

*
After leaving the dormitory building, Song Yutang said goodbye to two classmates from the Student Union.

The student union said that they would report to the president as soon as they got back. If there was anything else to discuss, the president would contact her personally.

It was afternoon when we set out and it was gradually getting dark.

But Song Yutang did not leave.

She had already sensed the lingering Yin energy in this place.

From the dormitory building to the open space in front of the building, and the roads leading to other areas, there are traces, and together they form a whole line…

Song Yutang seemed to be able to see something with a huge body swaying as it crawled along the road in the pitch-black night.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be told to ordinary people.

She estimated that the time of appearance was after midnight.

“Ah… let’s go buy something first.”

Song Yutang yawned. She was going to go to the nearby snack street to buy some food to fill her stomach, and then find a place to take a nap to recharge her energy.

Next, it’s a matter of sitting back and waiting.

……

“Tick, tick.”

The alarm clock on the desk pointed to two o’clock in the morning.

The people in the dormitory were sleeping soundly and breathing steadily.

Outside the window, the moonlight was pouring down like running water. The glass was transparent and bright, and the patterns on the curtains cast shadows on the ground.

This quiet and beautiful scene did not last long.

Something was slowly, slowly rising up from under the window…something evil was surging beneath the water.

This is the fourth floor, but a human face is slowly floating up like a hydrogen balloon, and finally sticks to the glass window.

It was a face magnified dozens of times, and the huge bloodshot eyeballs magnified dozens of times as well, staring at the sleeping people in the room, as if looking at the humans staring at the tank from the perspective of a goldfish.

——That is the face of “Ke Junchen”.

Their long-dead roommate’s huge face was pressed against the dormitory window. His face was pale, and there was a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth. Unlike the cynical melancholy when he was alive, the boy became happier and more open-minded after becoming a ghost. He had lost some kind of restraint;
“Ke Junchen’s” head was bigger than half the dormitory, enough to fill the entire window’s view, revealing a terrifying sense of enormity. If the roommates woke up at this time and witnessed this scene, I wonder how scared they would be.

……

“……really.”

In the courtyard outside the dormitory building, Song Yutang was squatting on the branch of a tree under the shade of its lush and verdant leaves, looking in that direction.

After Ke Junchen died, his soul turned into a ghost; and this appearance made her feel like she had seen it before.

The huge head was connected to the neck, and below the neck was a pale and bloated body, like a snake or a giant insect, overlapping and coiling, moving upward in circles.

If it were stretched out, it would undoubtedly be a giant with a length of tens of meters; even now, it is four stories high.

This huge grinning ghost had a dark patch between its toothless lips. It stuck out its tongue and licked the window over and over again, leaving wet marks on the wall. Its pupils, as big as stoves, flickered with greedy and cold firelight…

At this moment, she finally understood the origin of the water stains on the window.

Song Yutang took a deep breath, stretched his stiff body, and thought about his next move.

The other party didn’t seem to notice him…

“This guy is very similar to Senior Sister Li Huishan at that time.”

The same thing happened to Li Huishan. She was left with only her head, and her lower body became a strange worm body. She broke out of her clothes and ran to other floors to try to eat people. She was stopped by her master, and her body could not be transformed back after her death. This is the truth behind her disappearance.

The ghost lying on the teaching building in front of him was obviously much larger, at least five to seven times bigger, like the difference between a mature and a juvenile…

Can she win? she asked herself.
