The eighteenth day (November) Ai Ya returned

  I saw the eyeball, I don't know whose it was, but it was rotating, constantly looking at me. It was a very lively eyeball, as if it had just been picked up from the river, with no blood on it, but wet and transparent, covered with something like a sticky paste.

  This eye is still moving, spinning around in the palm of Fengyue's hand, don't ask me why one eye can spin around in her palm, and even more so, don't ask me why this eye finally stared at me.

  At this moment, I can no longer feel the outside world. Since the moment Fengyue Zhang opened his palm, my entire world has collapsed.

  In this world, the only thing I can see is this eye, it stares at me, staring at me tightly, I feel the darkness around me pressing in on me. The invisible wall oppresses my nerves, oppresses my thoughts, oppresses my perception.

  Everything around me began to warp and turn transparent.

  I felt a difficulty in breathing, my arms began to struggle, I felt myself falling into the river, and on that eye slowly appeared a face.

  Pale face.

  His face was deathly pale, half of it covered by his hair, only leaving the other half facing me, with one eye staring at me and half a mouth smiling at me.

  I was struggling but I saw her stretch out her hand and grab my ankle.

  I wanted to cry out for help, but I was in the water. As soon as I opened my mouth, the endless water around me would rush into my lungs.

  I am struggling in darkness and despair.

  The next instant I gave up, and suddenly realized that I had long been dead.

  At the age of four or five, I drowned in a river and there was no story about a twenty-five-year-old youth searching for a curse. Everything I have had all these years is just the imagination and fantasy of a four- or five-year-old child before he died. I am not going to die at twenty-five, but because twenty-five is the limit of a five-year-old's imagination.

  I had long since died, drowned in that river, and accompanied this bride in red.

  Have I become her flower boy?

  Am I the only comfort in her lonely world?

  There was never a twenty-fifth year, and there was never a curse of the last thirty days.

  No desolate village, no college students, no Xiaoyi and Fengyue.

  Everything I see, everything I hear, everything I think of is nothingness.

  For me, the only things that are real are this water, this face, and these eyes.

  There is only inevitable death.

  That eye is still rolling, I'm shaking, I feel someone pushing me, pushing me very hard.

  In a daze, I returned to that illusory world, and wind and moon appeared before my eyes.

  The wind and moon asked me, what's wrong with you, what's wrong with you?

  I glanced at Fengyue, her hand was placed on me, but there were no eyes.

  Xiao Ai supported me by my side, and everything in front of my eyes was a blur.

  Fighting had already broken out in front of me, with men brawling together. I didn't know what was happening or how I ended up like this.

  Fengyue asked me, what's wrong with you just now?

  I shook my head and said, what were you just going to show me?

  Fengyue said, what do I want to show you? I came over to ask why you suddenly spoke out our conjecture, and as a result, you suddenly stopped moving, standing there with your arms still waving. Dà ài jiě jie also saw it.

  Feng Yue always calls Xiao Ai "Da Ai", but I don't know if the person in front of me is Xiao Ai or Da Ai. To me, they are the same, both are my loved ones that I must save.

  Xiao Ai said beside me, what's wrong with you, you scared me to death.

  I have no idea what's wrong with me, in an instant I felt unwell, from the beginning when students described it, I fell into my imagination of Mei Xue, to the next second I saw the illusion of drowning, as if I was living in a fantasy at this moment.

  I'm not even sure if the chaotic scene in front of me is real or fake, I see that the battle is almost over, Ma Tiancheng obviously has the upper hand, but the student party is not united at this moment, I saw Zhang Dazhuang wrestling with Jin Sanbai.

  I asked, what's wrong? How long have I lost consciousness just now.

  Fengyue said, "Not long, just a minute? They had just started fighting when you woke up."

  A stick of shit can't be absent for a minute, and you guys will start fighting? You really can't leave me alone for a moment.

  I said, how did it start fighting.

  Fengyue said, it's still your fault. You said that sentence, I guess it fits many people's suspicions. Ma Tiancheng said he wants to tie Hou Mingyu up again. Hou Mingyu of course refused, saying his ears are gone and no one has taken responsibility for them yet. If they hadn't tied him and Aiyu together, none of this would have happened. Then Ma Tiancheng said he was a murderer, that he had cut off his own ears and framed Aiyu for it.

  After saying this, Feng Yue raised her hands and made a helpless expression, then they started fighting.

  I saw Ma Tiancheng had already tied up Hou Mingyu, and Zhang Dazhuang was also pinned down by Jin Sanbai. He asked, "How did the students get into a fight?"

  Fengyue said, Zhang Dazhuang is a coward, saying that he should be tied up, and he also thinks that Aiyu won't kill himself, but if it's for Hou Mingyu, then it's possible. Jin Sanpang said Zhang Dazhuang is talking nonsense, now at this time they need to unite, or else they will be bullied by outsiders. Then Zhang Dazhuang said the one who has always been bullying him is Jin Sanpang.

  After finishing speaking, Feng Yue raised her hands again and said, "Then let's get started too."

  The helpless expression of Fengyue is too beautiful, I'm a bit infatuated. Little Ai pinched me and said, what to do now, it's all your fault.

  I hesitated for a moment, watching Ma Tiancheng pull Jin Sanbai away and throw him to one side. Then I said, "Isn't this the end of it?"

  Hou Mingyu was tied to a chair by Ma Tiancheng at this moment, and it has to be said that Ma Tiancheng's technique of tying people up is truly exceptional. With just three or five quick movements, he had Hou Mingyu securely bound. A person like him claims to be a law-abiding citizen? I don't believe it.

  Ma Tiancheng turned around and shouted at me, "What you said, hiding behind a group of women during a fight, are you a man or not?"

  I felt a bit awkward, after all, the women were now hiding behind me. I thickened my skin and said, "Aren't I protecting them?"

  Ma Tiancheng looked at me with disdain and said, "What's the point now? We might as well throw you outside to fend for yourself."

  I say, isn't this weather enough to kill you if you go outside? I'd say let's tie up that room first.

  Hou Mingyu said, "What evidence do you have to tie me up? Isn't this bullying?"

  After muttering to himself, as if he was about to cry, Zhang Da Zhuang wiped his nose, and since he had already been punched in the nose by Jin San Pao, a wipe made half of his face bloody.

  Zhang Dazhuang said, you have a motive for murder.

  As soon as I said this, I felt a sense of relief, because after all, it was just to escape for myself that I mentioned this matter. If it can be implemented, it's not a bad thing either.

  Selfish thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he heard Zhang Da Zhuang say, "You're going to graduate, you have to inherit your family's pharmaceutical company, right? Go back and be the young master."

  "What kind of evidence is this? What does it have to do with our family's company?"

  Zhang Dazhuang said, it has nothing to do with your family's company, but it has something to do with your status. You are the best among us in terms of family background, although your dad is controlling you a bit now, but in the future, won't your family's pharmaceutical company all be yours? Right?

  Hou Mingyu said, "Do you want to blackmail me?"

  Zhang Dazhuang said, "I'm blackmailing you? Right, what you're afraid of is that we'll blackmail you, isn't it? You will be a superior person in society in the future, I think you must be afraid that one day in the future, we will use Mei Xue's affair to blackmail you, right? That's why you want to kill us and silence us.

  Hou Mingyu said, "Everyone is related to Mei Xue's affairs. How can you extort me? Do you dare to speak out?"

  Zhang Dazhuang said, "What I'm saying is exactly what you're thinking, and that's why you want to kill us. We didn't graduate, we were together eating, drinking, and having fun, it seemed like we were all equal. But once we entered society, the differences became apparent. You're afraid that one day you'll have money and power, and we'll be down on our luck. The barefooted aren't afraid of those who wear shoes, they cling to them, right? So you instigated Ai Ya to help you kill people. On the day Da Peng went missing, you indeed went to the ancient temple."

  Zhang Dazhuang said, pointing at Jin Sanpang, you say what I said is right or not? You guys don't dare to mention the things that happened back then, and neither do I. But do you want to die here? He's still hitting me!

  Jin Sanpang looked at Hou Mingyu, then looked at Zhang Dazhuang, and was a bit at a loss. Xiao Bin sat in the chair, he said, this thing Dazhuang said is reasonable, you indeed have motive.

  Hou Mingyu said, "You use this excuse to kill me, you also have the same reason to kill others. Don't you? I know you are afraid of death, as long as it's not you who is being tied up, you probably don't care who is being tied up."

  Xiao Bin said that people are all selfish, let alone loving someone who has indeed committed a crime. In this case, she can only help you, right?

  Hou Mingyu said, "She killed someone, that's her business, what does it have to do with me? She loves me to death, can I be blamed for that? Let me tell you, she's just a crazy woman. How am I supposed to know what that crazy woman is thinking? Anyway, it has nothing to do with me, or else you go ask her yourself, stop framing me here."

  Fengyue stood beside me, and we were all in the dining hall on the first floor of the hotel. After entering the main entrance of the hotel, there was a door directly opposite, outside which was the front desk, and inside which was the dining hall. The kitchen was separated from us by a wall.

  In this layout, Fengyue is now facing the door of the dining hall, which is open. From our angle, we can see the main entrance of the inn.

  Feng Yue heard Hou Mingyu say let's go ask Ai Ya who has already passed away, she shuddered, stretched out her hand, and trembled as she pointed outside the door. She said, "Ai Ya, Ai Ya, how did you come?"

  As soon as the words "feng yue" were spoken, the entire dining hall fell silent. I saw a figure slowly emerging from the dim distance, her body dripping with rainwater, walking step by step towards us.

  I saw her wearing a fiery red skirt, with long hair covering half of her face.

  But the remaining half of his face I can recognize, it's really Ai Ya.

  She's coming back... to kill us.
