Chapter 52: The Ninth Well II-1
My body became extremely stiff for a moment. I thought I already knew a lot. I knew the origin of those paper-cuts in Chu Jiangshan, I knew the cause of Xiaorui’s death, and I also knew that Xiaorui’s mother was always behind the Dream Club.
After controlling it, I also learned that many letters were sent by Mother Liu. Although there are still many questions that I still don’t know the answers to, I think I will always know. But suddenly I heard Mother Liu say again
When I came out of the "Ninth Well", I couldn't help but be surprised. I remembered the text message Mother Liu sent me:
"Why does a well have to be a well? Why can't it be anything else?"
"It's right next to you."
Ever since Tao Dingtian's accident, I have always thought that the so-called ninth well does not refer to a real well, but a person. I don't know who this person is. It may be Tao Dingtian, or it may be someone else I don't know.
I'm a stranger, but now after listening to Mother Liu's words, it's obvious that all my speculations are wrong.
I held my breath and asked nervously: "Where is the ninth well?"
Mother Liu shook her head and said, "I don't know either. She taught me what I said to you, and she also gave me the letter I sent."
I asked: "Is it her?" I was referring to the mysterious woman. I believed that Mrs. Liu must know who I was talking about. Sure enough, she nodded and said: "Every time she suddenly appears in the middle of the night.
By my side, I know she must not be human, must not be."
I didn't say anything else. If I still insist that there are no ghosts in the world, I would be lying. At least I have seen several of them. But behind these ghosts, there always seems to be that mysterious woman.
, I always feel that she has been weaving a huge conspiracy that I don't know about.
I thought about it and asked, "Do you know Erliang?" This was actually the second time I asked Mama Liu, but she still shook her head and said, "There are too many, I don't remember, but I know her."
Let me do the second one."
I hurriedly asked: "What is the second one?" I have always remembered what Dong Agen said to me, and I have never been able to figure out what it meant. This time I heard "the second one" from Mama Liu again, maybe I can
What can I find out from her, not to mention that Mother Liu has always said that I am also a part of this story, but until now I have not found any relationship with me.
Mother Liu's face began to show fear, and she trembled and said: "He is the first, I am the second, and you are the second too. Please, stop writing!"
I really couldn't bear Mother Liu's nonsensical talk, so I couldn't help but shout: "Who is he?"
Mother Liu was startled by my sudden loud shout, but she finally calmed down and said: "Chu Jiangshan, Chu Jiangshan is the first!"
I hurriedly comforted Mother Liu and asked her to speak slowly. Mother Liu took a breath and said: "Chu Jiangshan always comes to see me. One day he drank a lot of wine. At that time, Lao Chu was no longer here. He was alone.
I don’t know where I went. No one comes to me. Only Chu Jiangshan still comes often.
That day he seemed happy and sad at the same time. He said many incomprehensible words to me and asked me if I was willing to lose my life for my dream. I had no idea what he was talking about, but if Xiaorui could come back, I would definitely not
He cared about my own life, so I said I was willing, and Chu Jiangshan laughed so loudly that it scared me. He said he was willing too, and asked me if I knew what his dream was."
My heart suddenly became nervous and I asked: "What is his dream?"
Mother Liu said: "He said he wanted to be the greatest horror novelist, and asked me if I knew what the greatest horror novelist was."
Chu Jiangshan’s dream turned out to be exactly the same as mine, but I didn’t have a clear definition of what truly greatness was. When I heard Mama Liu say this, I couldn’t help but ask: “What is it?”
Mother Liu said: "He said that the greatest horror novelist is not that people still remember your name and works after you die, but that the horror you create continues to exist and continue after you die."
My heart gradually became cold, and Mother Liu still looked confused. Obviously she still didn’t understand what Chu Jiangshan’s words meant, but I think I understood that Chu Jiangshan wanted to continue to work after his death.
To create terror, Wang Qiang and Lao Chu's death must have been arranged by him early in the morning, so he could write those two letters in advance. Even Xiao Rui's death may have been his arrangement, and behind all these things
, all because of that mysterious woman.
Chu Jiangshan is dead, but I have to say that he really realized his dream. The terror continues. More and more people fall into the trap he arranged, and then involve more people and spread the terror.
, but why did his novels make so many stories come true? Why did he himself die in such a bizarre way? If he hadn't died so early, he would have set up a bigger plot. From what Liu's mother said that day, Chu
Judging from Jiang Shan's drunken conversation, I don't think his death was as simple as natural death.
Mother Liu continued to talk about her affairs with Chu Jiangshan. She said that after Chu Jiangshan died, she thought of her kindness and often went to the place where he collected the paper cuttings to see him and burn some paper money for him. I also know this place.
Xiaorui took me to the place last time. Now that I think about it, maybe the crying we heard at that time was made by Mother Liu. I asked cautiously: "Do you know how he died?"
Mother Liu shook her head and said: "One day he suddenly called me and said he had something to tell me. I asked him on the phone what it was about. He told me to leave quickly and not take anything with me. His voice was so soft.
As if I was afraid of being heard by someone, I could hardly hear clearly. At this moment, I heard him yelling, as if he saw something extremely terrifying, followed by a snap.
The phone fell to the ground, and I heard his last words, and I still can’t figure out what they meant.”
I asked hurriedly: "What are you talking about?"
Mother Liu also had a confused look on her face and said: "The ninth well."
It’s the ninth well again. What is this ninth well? Judging from Liu’s mother’s story, Chu Jiangshan’s death should also be an abnormal one. It seems that he had some secrets that he wanted to tell Liu’s mother before he died, and he also looked at it.
I saw something terrible, but it was a pity that I couldn't say it in the end.
I felt a little regretful. It seemed that some secrets would never be known. I asked, "What does this have to do with me?"
Mother Liu opened her mouth and was about to say something to me when her face suddenly changed. She stood up and pointed behind me with her finger, as if she saw something incredible there. I turned around quickly and saw behind me
A white wall, nothing to see.
I turned around again, only to find that Mother Liu was still standing upright like this, her face was frighteningly pale, and she kept making hoho sounds. I took her hand and wanted her to sit down and have a rest.
But she suddenly withdrew her hand forcefully and groped hard on herself, but such a simple action seemed extremely difficult for her. I wanted to reach out to help her, but Mother Liu looked at me with her eyes wide open.
Her breathing became heavier, as if she wanted to tell me something, but I couldn't hear clearly what she was saying.
I was so worried that I quickly took out my mobile phone and called 1. At this moment, Mother Liu suddenly grabbed my hand and said something loudly. Then her breathing disappeared and her body gradually stiffened.
Knowing that she was gone, she still had many things she wanted to tell me but it was too late. But the last sentence she said was something I had been thinking about for a long time and never understood. What she said was: "The ninth mouthful"
well".
Mother Liu was dead. I called the police. As for why I was at Mother Liu's place, I could only report the truth with text messages on my mobile phone. Fortunately, these police officers were Erliang's former colleagues, and I did not commit the crime.
Motive, so after some investigation, nothing happened. When I was leaving the police station, a police officer I knew joked with me: "This old lady is so strange. She didn't know she was holding on to a jade pendant before she died."
What, if there were no signs of struggle at the scene, I would have thought you were going to rob her."
My heart tightened. Mother Liu seemed to really want to catch something in her last moments. Reminiscent of her last words, could the ninth well be related to this jade pendant?
I didn't have time to think about this. I turned off my phone when I was being interrogated. Now when I turned it on, I saw a dozen missed calls, most of which were from my mother and some from Sun Jingye. Only then did I think of him today.
He also wanted to tell me about Erliang, so he hurriedly called his mother to comfort him, and then called Sun Jingye and said that he was in trouble. After asking where he was now, he would rush right away.
passed.
I have seen Sun Jingye several times in the past few years, and I still have a vague impression of him. Now that I see him, I feel that he has not changed much. He still remembers my appearance. He said hello to me from afar, and the two of them found each other.
We sat down in our seats and after a brief exchange of greetings, I got to the point and asked, "Uncle Sun, what do you want to say to me?"
Sun Jingye has been a police officer for many years. He is extremely capable and does not talk nonsense. He nodded and said, "I sent you that letter."
I had already analyzed this possibility from the postmark, so when I heard him say this, although I was slightly surprised, I was not very surprised. I nodded and motioned for him to continue.
But when Sun Jingye saw my reaction, he thought for a moment and said, "Actually, this is what Erliang left for me before anything happened. He said that if one day what he was worried about happened, he must let me take care of it."
Send the letter."
What is Erliang worried about? I couldn't help but become curious and asked: "What is he worried about?"
Sun Jingye stared at me closely and said, "He has been worried that one day your novel will become a real event."
I stood up from the chair. This time I was really surprised. I stared at Sun Jingye with my mouth wide open. I didn’t know what to say at all. Sun Jingye waved his hand down and motioned me to sit down and said
: "Er Liang is my apprentice, and you are his good friend. I should make some things clear to you. In fact, did you notice that there was something wrong with Er Liang before the accident?"
I noticed something was wrong with Erliang early on, so I didn’t intend to hide anything from Sun Jingye. I nodded. Sun Jingye was silent for a while and said, "I have to talk to you about this matter from the beginning. There is a person...
Do you know if you have heard of it?”
I had just recovered from the shock, and when I saw Sun Jingye asking me, I hurriedly asked: "Who?"
