Chapter 394 The Thing in the Puppet 2
On the weekend, Gu Chu went back to the school library to find a collection of medical books.

University A has been established for a long time, many medical works have been collected, and even a lot of unique copies are stored, so everyone knows that there are many treasures in the library of University A. This treasure is an allusion to the outside world that there is in University A but not collection of books.

The architectural style of the library is more European style. It is said that it was built according to the hand-painted layout of a foreign pastor, so the style is more Western-style. The library has five floors. The windows are painted with olive branches.The olive branch is peace and hope. I heard that during the war, the main building of the school was bombed beyond recognition, but this building remained.

There are not many people coming to the library on weekends, and there are no people walking around in the originally quiet area on weekends.There are managers on every floor of the library. Gu Chu swiped his card and went straight up to the third floor. After finding the books he wanted, he opened a rental slip. He wanted to leave, but he inadvertently remembered the book he mentioned to Lu Beichen before. book, and heeled up to the fifth floor.

They seldom go to the fifth floor, because there are all kinds of miscellaneous books, and those local medical journals are all on that floor.The school's students usually wander the most to the third floor. Everyone rushes to the credits, so how can they bother to look at other things?

There is no elevator in the library, and the winding stairs all the way go straight to the fifth floor. After several major repairs, the students have repeatedly suggested that the school replace the library with an elevator to facilitate upstairs and downstairs, but the school still insists on keeping the old building. Appearance, motionless.On the contrary, Gu Chu thinks this is very good, the old building needs to have a historical attitude.

The architectural style of the library belongs to the "sky round place", the higher the floor, the smaller the area. The fifth floor is more like the attic of the entire library, and the light is darker than other floors.In fact, judging from the lighting settings, the entire library is not bright, which is due to the fact that the building is too old.There are still candlesticks on the walls of the building, which are distributed in two volumes on the walls of each floor. Even the main light source above the head is a large candlestick with European traditional design.It is said that this building used to be lit with candles, and the thick round white candles lit up evenly around the walls, and the candlestick above the head could hold two hundred candles, thus bringing the whole building full of vitality. bright.Today, the school has decided to keep the original flavor of the library, so the candlesticks will not move, but they will not be so backward in lighting candles. The wires are buried behind the wall, and the original position of the candlesticks has been changed to one by one. Energy-saving lamps, the light is light yellow, warm and not dazzling, but too many students said that reading too much affects the sight.

Because of the size of the fifth floor, there are a lot less light sources. The lights and shadows on the wall are erratic like will-o'-the-wisps. The glazed window not only blocks the sunlight outside, but also blocks the sound outside the window.It became more and more quiet. When Gu Chu stepped onto the fifth floor, there was no one in the long corridor. She was wearing flat shoes, but she could hear her own footsteps.

Also, the sound of a heartbeat.

This was the first time she came to the fifth floor of the library after returning to school. For some reason, she felt a faint chill in her heart, and she felt different from the previous visits.The door of the reading room is open, but the card counter is empty.An old carved mahogany table, with a few books on the table, which seems to be returned, and a cup, which is a very old tea mug, with water in the tea mug, and a root tip Thin tea leaves float in it, and the freshness of the tea leaves can be seen. A coat is put on the chair, the man's off-white jacket.The tea is freshly brewed, and the clothes are still here, indicating that the staff did not go far.

Gu Chu swiped his card and entered the reading room after the light turned green.This place belongs to an old space, and the smell of books spreads everywhere, but after careful identification, there are also traces of Lysol smell, which should be disinfected every now and then, so it is normal to have this kind of smell.But she thought of Lu Beichen, this is the aura that he often has on his body, taking a deep breath, it is nostalgia and miss.

Thinking that it will be Christmas in a blink of an eye, will he return to Shanghai at that time?Will the case be over?The feeling of missing someone is very subtle. When I think of it, it will be sweet. When I think of him, I think of his voice, I think of his smile, and I always laugh out loud when I think of her.She had seen this kind of smile from herself in front of the mirror before, it was in the bottom of her eyes, and it rolled down her lips like slippery beads; but after the sweetness, there was a slight pain, which was invisible and intangible, and he was far away. Far away there, the more I hear his voice, the more I miss him.

Shaking his head, Gu Chu brought his thoughts back to reality, but he thought to himself, it doesn't matter if he can't come back for Christmas, she will go to him again, but at that time, I don't know if I can ask for leave.

In the past few years, the environment on the fifth floor has not changed much, but the number and location of books are naturally different from before, with many new shelves and more categories.Gu Chu intends to find the west district from the east district. Today is still free, so he plans to spend time looking for that book.Rows of bookshelves looked like silent old people. She looked for them one by one, and felt a little cool when her fingers lightly touched the beams.It is said that the age of these bookshelves is the same as the carved wide table at the door. They are all collected from ancient trees in the deep mountains. These ancient trees made of bookshelves are at least three or four hundred years old. However, it is not a new thing for these ancient trees to be felled wantonly to enter the house.

only……

Gu Chu's fingers froze for a moment.

The older the object, the more spiritual it is, especially the wood from the deep mountains. After hundreds of years of vicissitudes, who knows how many sorrows and joys in the world have been seen by them?Thinking of this, she couldn't help shivering, and looked around again, yes, it's too quiet here, so quiet that she could hear something whispering...

Those who whisper are not necessarily people.

There was a chill on the back, as if a centipede was slowly scaring the skin.

Today was a rare day off. Fu Liang asked her to go shopping early in the morning, but she refused.When Fu Liang knew that she was going to the fifth floor, his face was not very good, and he couldn't help reminding her: You may not know that you didn't come to school in the first half of the year. In June, a female classmate jumped from the fifth floor of the library. , The classmates at the scene said that she died in a terrible way, and the blood spattered the whole piece of ivy, so the school later removed all the ivy from the library.

At that time, Gu Chu just listened to it, and there was no fear other than regretting people's lives. There are horror stories in every university, and most of them happened in dormitories, study rooms, bathrooms or libraries.When she was in University A, the horror legends she heard the most all came from the library. There was no way, the library was too old, and even if nothing happened, standing in it felt like there were too many grievances condensed.But at this moment, she just thought of Fu Liang's words so inadvertently, and Fu Liang's analysis was: the height of the fifth floor is not enough to make people fall so horribly.Later, she added something mysteriously, Gu Chu, I think that female classmate died before jumping off the building...

She felt uncomfortable for a moment, and asked Fu Liang what he meant, Fu Liang curled his lips and said, it wasn't suicide, it was homicide!

This inference is bold, but it is in line with Fu Liang's strong determination to engage in forensic medicine.Gu Chu didn't comment too much on the case. Firstly, she was not at the scene, so she didn't see what happened to the female classmate in the end. Secondly, she heard that the police had already closed the case, and the final verdict was suicide.

But now, why do you think of this?
The surrounding light seemed to be dim again. I don't know if it was turned off by someone or just her feeling.Take a deep breath and try not to let yourself think about it. She is a medical student and has been with the famous forensic doctor for so long. She must not be frightened by these messy thoughts in her head.I tried my best to find the books, looking for them one by one, but the more I searched, the more uncomfortable I became.

Most of the books on the fifth floor are remote, and a series of titles stimulate the vision.What strange stories, ancient Chinese sacrifices, the origin of totems, souls and medicine, etc...

Gu Chu clenched his fingers and said silently in his heart: The brave have no fear... The brave have no fear.

But the ears seem to have feet, desperately searching for sounds from all directions, as if there are footsteps.It was inaudible, but if you listen carefully, it seems that you are walking towards her again.Gu Chu stretched his head and looked around again, but he didn't see anyone coming, so his head buzzed, it couldn't be, he hit a ghost, right?He tightened his breath, quickened his pace and walked around to the other side of the bookshelf, his heart pounded, and his chest hurt.

The footsteps seemed to be getting closer.

Gu Chu really wanted to turn around and leave, but thinking about the case, he gritted his teeth and froze in place.She doesn't believe in ghosts in this world, but she also knows that this belief has been stretched thinner and thinner under this environment.

Holding a book in her hand, she seemed to catch a figure with her peripheral vision.Before she could take a step, the sound of footsteps suddenly stopped behind her.

God, does she want to turn around...

Countless fragments of horror movies flashed in her mind, either bloody or weird, she thought to herself, no matter what kind she wanted to see.Suddenly, a big hand patted her shoulder.

She only felt that her spirit was flickering, her heart tightened, and as soon as she let go, the book fell to the ground with a "slap".Only at this moment did she finally understand that people can't shout when they are most frightened. She didn't know how to shout until the frightened emotion hit her reflex arc.But as soon as he opened his mouth, his mouth was covered.

"Shh..." A man's nice voice fell in her ear in a low voice, "You can't make loud noises in the library." His fingers holding her had a leathery masculine smell, light and comfortable.

She glanced at him, and he said, "Can you stop shouting?"

Gu Chu thought in his heart, could it be that he met a kidnapper like Xiao Xiaoxiao did?But no matter what, he couldn't be restrained by others, so he nodded.The man let go, and she took the opportunity to turn around hurriedly.
