Chapter 17 File 17: Soul Locking Curse ([-])
After untying my rope, Xue Rou finally couldn't help but threw herself on me and burst into tears.I gently patted her on the back, she now needs to cry to vent her near-destruction emotions.Being locked up in this dark place for a day and a night, she is strong enough not to go crazy.

"I thought you would never find me!" Xue Rou cried for a long time before gradually calming down.

"Fool!" I repeated what she said to me, "We are friends, and friends will never give up on each other."

"What's wrong outside, can we still go out?" Xue Rou said worriedly, she heard the roar of the platform collapsing just now.

"Yes, we will be able to go out!" I pulled her and groped to the door, and the two pushed the door hard together.But there may be tens of tons of heavy objects on the outside of the furnace door, and no matter how hard we try, we still remain motionless.

Xue Rou punched and kicked the furnace door angrily, shouted for help, and finally sat down on the ground dejectedly.

"Jane Zhen, are we going to die here?" Xue Rou asked suddenly.

"How could it be?" I tried my best to say in a calm tone, but I knew best in my heart that we were indeed trapped here to death.

"But we can't get out anymore." Xue Rou said again.

"Someone will come to save us." I said in an extremely firm tone, but there was another cold voice in my heart saying: "Will it be? No one even knows you are here!"

"Does anyone know we're here?" Xue Rou ignited a glimmer of hope again, "Yes, Tang Ke, will Tang Ke come to rescue us?"

"Yes, I will." I said with difficulty, I can't tell her that Tang Ke was seriously injured in order to save her, and his life was dying.

"But where is he? Why hasn't he come?" Xue Rou screamed, "I don't want to be here, I don't want to stay here for a second!"

"Xue Rou, Xue Rou!" I hugged her hard to avoid her over-excitement, "We must trust our friends!"

"When I was in the lunatic asylum, I once suspected that you would not come to save me, but in the end you still showed up! Did you ever despair in the past day and night, thinking that others would never find you again, yes Isn’t it right? But, didn’t I also show up? So, there’s always hope!” I choked back my tears and said, “We have to trust Tang Ke! He must be fighting for us right now!”

I'm right. In the hospital far away, Tang Ke must still be fighting for death. He won't die so easily.As long as we don't give up our faith, the curse will never conquer us!

"Well," Xue Rou calmed down a little, "but I really want to leave this place, it's so dark here, I'll go crazy if I stay any longer!"

"Don't think like this," I tried to comfort her and said, "we want to think about some happy things, and think about things that are most worthy of your memories. Just pretend that you are sleeping now, and you see how quiet the surroundings are now that the lights are off , just in time for a sweet sleep. When you wake up, it will be dawn."

"Hmm..." Xue Rou was really obedient and pondered, and suddenly she burst out laughing.

"Remind me of something funny?" I asked her.

"I remember our first meeting." Xue Rou said with a smile, "You look really embarrassed!"

"Is there?" I said pretending to be confused.

"Have you forgotten how we met?" I seemed to see Xue Rou's mouth pouted.

"No!" How could I forget the moment when a mistake caused eternal hatred.

"Okay, tell me about our experience of meeting again!"

"As if you weren't there," I said angrily, "what's there to say about something everyone already knows?"

"No, I just like listening to your stories. If you don't tell me, I'm going crazy again, I'm going crazy again!"

"Okay!" I was defeated by her again.

According to legend, on a certain day not long ago, when a female staff member of the building was working overtime until late at night, she suddenly heard the sound of a Peking Opera minor in the empty women's toilet.A certain woman tremblingly searched for the location of the sound, only to find that the sound came from a ventilation duct.A certain woman was so blessed that she asked, "Who is it?" Not long after, an old and hoarse voice came back through the pipe: "Who are you?"

A certain girl was frightened and fled, but the rumor that there was a ghostly echo in the building spread like wildfire, and a series of more bizarre stories were derived in the process of spreading.After my preliminary investigation, those spin-off stories have no originality and are basically "borrowed" from some old ghost stories.The only thing about Echo was confirmed after I worked so hard to find the female victim.

In the case that the witnesses and the location of the incident are real, one only needs to go to the location of the incident to inspect it in person to know the truth.But the problem is that the time of the incident is late at night, and all commercial buildings will close their doors to thank guests after ten o'clock in the evening, so it is not easy to get in.And the place where the incident happened is the women's toilet, which is another natural obstacle for me as a man.

However, these problems are not difficult for me. At [-]:[-] that night, I entered a certain building through normal channels and lurked in the men's toilet on a certain floor of the building.First broke the Guinness World Squat Toilet Record by going to the toilet for four hours at a time, and then brazenly invaded the empty women's toilet.

I immediately found the vent that is said to have alien voices coming from it, and then when the phone time jumped to 00:00:00, I said to the vent in a cordial and sympathetic tone according to the standard procedure: " who?"

"Who are you?"

The legend turned out to be true, and I actually heard the echo!However, a little different from the legend, this time it was not an old and obscure male voice, but a crisp and sweet female voice; and the voice did not come from the vent, but from behind me.

When I looked back suddenly, I saw a girl with an O-shaped mouth.I really admired myself for being so decisive at the time, and I was able to cover her mouth before she yelled "pervert".

"Don't yell, I'm not a bad person!" I know that such an explanation is hard to be convincing. If I'm not a bad person, why would I come to the women's bathroom in the middle of the night?

Fortunately, at this critical moment, there was a whimpering opera sound from the vent.Although the sound was very weak, but in the silence of the night, the effect was absolutely earth-shattering, and the girl and I both fell silent involuntarily.

Is this the voice from "another world"?But my intuition tells me that there is nothing special about this voice.The girl took advantage of my daze and broke my hand away, but the first thing she said was not a loud cry for help, but a soft voice: "Are you also here to listen to the ghost's echo?"

What she said shocked me even more than "Ghost Echo". How dare such a weak and slender girl come to "catch ghosts" in the middle of the night?
At this moment, all the lights in the toilet suddenly went out, and the girl screamed "Wow" and threw herself into my arms.My heart immediately "plopped" and jumped wildly, not because I was afraid, but because the feeling of warm and fragrant nephrite was really wonderful.

"What should I do?" I heard her voice sound like she was about to cry.

"Don't be afraid!" I plucked up the courage and asked loudly toward the vent, "Who are you?"

The singing in the vent stopped suddenly, and I faintly felt that someone was watching us from the other side of the vent.After a while, a voice really came out: "Who are you? Why are you in there?" Just like the legend, it was an old and hoarse voice.

I felt the girl hug me tighter, and my body was still shaking. "Don't be afraid, he's not a ghost, he's a human!" I said confidently.

"Old Guan, you're still listening to the show! Didn't you see the circuit tripped? Why don't you hurry up and fix it?" A second voice came from the vent.

"It's so strange, someone is talking at this vent again!" The old voice said suspiciously.

When I heard this, I immediately understood.In fact, the matter is very simple. The ventilation duct of the women's toilet is connected to the electrician's room not far away.The old electrician on duty at night likes to listen to opera programs in the early hours of the morning, and the sound of the radio is broadcast live to the women's restroom through the pipe.

But what I didn't expect was that the girl in my arms suddenly yelled: "Brother Security, come and save me, I'm in the women's toilet!"

The consequences were very serious. The security guards of the entire building came out and caught me, a trespasser in the women's toilet.What's more serious is that the girl I "kidnapped" turned out to be the owner of this building - the daughter of the Xue family, Xue Rou.

I thought I was done playing this time, but I didn't expect Miss Xue not only let me go after hearing my story, but also generously lent me [-] yuan to start a website.Because she thinks my idea is too fun, if I go to prison, she won't be able to find excitement.

After I finished telling the story, Xue Rou seemed to be asleep in my arms.I also felt a burst of chest tightness and dizziness. Although my lungs were breathing hard, I always felt like I couldn't breathe.

Lack of oxygen!I knew immediately what was going on.The furnace door is blocked, the air in the blast furnace cannot be exchanged, and the oxygen here is about to be used up by us.

"Xue Rou, don't sleep!" I shook her desperately, I must not sleep at this time, once I fall asleep, I may never wake up.I hastily moved Xue Rou to the place closest to the crack of the door, maybe a little fresh air would come in here.After doing this, I felt like my heart was beating like it was about to explode. I really wanted to press it with my hand, but I didn't even have the strength to lift it up.

"Could it be that we still can't escape this death curse in the end?" At this moment, I was really desperate, and my consciousness continued to sink into the darkness.

I don't know how long it took, but in a blur, I heard the knocking sound of "dongdong" coming from the furnace wall, and it seemed that I could vaguely hear someone shouting: "Is there anyone inside?"

I wanted to answer, but there wasn't enough oxygen in my lungs to make a sound.The knocking sound became louder and louder, and with a "crash", a few broken bricks fell, and a small hole shining with white light appeared in the darkness, and a fresh air flow rushed towards the face.

I greedily breathed the long-lost fresh air, and finally I was able to call out loudly: "Help, we are here!"

The small hole was quickly smashed into a big hole, and several people wearing masks climbed in and carried us out.The sunlight outside made it hard for me to open my eyes. The ambulance staff put on blindfolds for us, because if we stay in the dark for too long, we may be blinded if we suddenly see the sunlight.

But my hand held on to Xue Rou tightly, because I couldn't see it, and I was afraid that she would disappear again if I let go.

"She's still alive, she's just passed out!" The ambulance staff tried to persuade me, "It's hard for us to treat you like this!"

It wasn't until another hand was placed on ours that my heart finally settled down.

"Tang Ke!" I yelled out, "It's so damn good, you're not dead!"

"The moment I was shot, I thought I was going to die!" Although the voice in my ear was weak, it was undoubtedly Tang Ke's voice, "Because I was cursed by Xiangyangchang, and even you predicted my death!" Death. But when I was in a coma in the hospital, I heard someone tell me in my ear that you are trapped in the blast furnace of Xiangyang Factory, and only I can save you."

"So I said to myself, I must not die. If I die, no one will come to save you."

"Tang just woke up a few hours ago, and he insisted on coming to save you while lying on the stretcher." Someone beside him said.

"Tang Ke..." I couldn't help sobbing.

"Don't say it," Tang Ke said, "If you are a friend, you don't need to say it."

It took the police several days to clean up the collapsed platform, and Tan Zhenye's body was found underneath. He had committed multiple felonies and deserved to die.But to my surprise, there was no Xiao Ling's body below.In other words, she is not dead.

Is the voice that Tang Ke heard while in a coma belonged to Xiao Ling?Does she really want Tang Ke to save us, or does she want him to die in the torture of being unable to save others?
I don't know, just as I don't know if Xiao Ling is really a demon.With this question in mind, I visited Professor Gu again.

"Humans have explored for thousands of years whether the soul and the spiritual world exist, but only a few people have grasped a small part of the mystery. It is a huge proposition to prove the existence of a spiritual world that completely violates the laws of science, not so One or two simple examples can prove it.” Professor Gu did not answer my question directly.

"Isn't everything that happened in Xiangyang Factory not enough to prove it?" I said unconvinced, "The hand in Tan Xiaowei's video, the invisible force that pushed Mrs. Tan downstairs, and the hand possessed by Xiaoling Devil, can these be explained by science?"

"It can be explained!" Professor Gu replied affirmatively, "The hand in Tan Xiaowei's video may be caused by signal disturbance, and it may be the wind that pushed Mrs. Tan down, because at a high place, a sudden strong wind is not enough. Strange. As for the demon in Xiao Ling, from a psychological point of view, it's just a split personality."

"When Xiao Ling was 12 years old, she burned her uncle's family to death because of an accidental fire. The condemnation of her conscience created an unbearable pressure in her heart, so her subconscious created an evil personality—Xiao Ling, Let her bear all the faults, thus avoiding the collapse of the subject's personality, this is a kind of human self-protection instinct."

"Well," I nodded. What Professor Gu said seemed to make sense, but I still had a question that I couldn't explain, "But if there were no ghosts, how would Xiao Ling know that Bai Xiaolian was killed by Tan Zhenye, and the body was killed by Tan Zhenye?" Buried in a blast furnace?"

"That's a good question!" Professor Gu nodded approvingly, and then he said with a mysterious smile, "Maybe one day you can see Xiaoling again and ask her this question clearly in person."

Xiaoling, my heart trembled, can I see her again?I had a premonition that from the moment this girl who was an angel and a devil appeared in my eyes, she was destined to be entangled with me in this life.
