1. Preface: 414 Dormitory Mystery【1】

There were thunderstorms in C City in July, and the roaring wind swept through the campus. The shadows of the trees swayed in the darkness, and they let out low roars like ghosts and wolves.

In an instant, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, like a gaping hole in the Milky Way, gathering into several beams of pale light under the dark clouds, accompanied by deafening thunder, illuminating rows of student dormitories among the willow trees.

They are four red buildings with brand-new appearance, each eight stories high.

Heavy raindrops slid down the smooth exterior tiles. In the hazy rain and mist, it seemed as if a rapidly surging stream of blood was pouring down from the roof, forming an eerie blood river in the small garden in the center of the four dormitories.

At this time, in dormitory No. 23 on the fifth floor of Zhuyuan, a girl got off the bed quietly, opened the door with bare hands, and quickly stepped out.

Amidst the lightning and thunder, her plain face was left with a pale pale light. A pair of smart eyes looked around vigilantly, holding her breath cautiously, as if she was avoiding something.

***

Just half a month ago, the final exams ended and University C was on holiday. Except for a few foreign students and graduates who had participated in internships, most students had returned home, and there were only a few people living in the dormitory. Jiang Yi was

one of them.

She is a native of City C, and it’s only half an hour’s drive home.

But this summer, she did not go back. She found an excuse to stay in school and secretly investigated a supernatural incident that had been circulating for a long time. Tonight was the critical moment for her to reveal the truth!

Time passed quietly minute by minute in silence, and the dim dormitory corridor was empty.

The biting wind howled past mixed with raindrops, completely drowning out the sound of her slight footsteps.

With his heart pounding, Jiang Yi stood at the door of dormitory 414 with a diary in hand. Just like the last time he came here, the door of dormitory 414 was locked and motionless in the cold wind.

This is not an ordinary key lock, but a large iron lock tied to a slender iron chain. Both ends of the iron chain are firmly nailed into the cracks in the wall. It seems impossible to open it except for the key!

No matter how new it looks, this iron lock has already revealed the true history of this school building, and at the same time, it also reveals the unknown secret behind this door.

She bit her finger and slowly wrote a "#" symbol on the brown door panel. Then she held a small flashlight between her shoulder and chin, held the diary in her left hand, and read out a spell written in oracle bones on one of the pages.

"The beginning of the heaven and the earth, the beginning of the universe. The cause and effect of the three lives, the cycle is not lost. Use the power of the nine gods to bless the common people. Fake the underworld of the eighteen Yamas, subjugate the demons and seal the spirits!"

With a snap, the door lock suddenly cracked.

Following Jiang Yi's clear voice, the door in front of him slid slowly, and the rotten door panel rubbed against the ground, making a creaking sound.

The cold wind blew by itself, and a chill densely climbed up her back, invading her skin, penetrating her bone marrow, and was bone-piercingly cold. She vaguely heard an eerie laughter coming from the dim dormitory 414, but where the flashlight light swept

, nothing can be seen except dust on the ground.

Jiang Yi frowned and slowly walked into the room.

There are only her footprints in the house, and the traces of her first entering here two years ago have been completely erased.

"Come out, I know you are already here."

She spoke without fear, with firmness and courage in her dark eyes. Even if she was about to face the most terrifying evil spirit among the top ten supernatural events in C, Jiang Yi had no intention of backing down.
