Someone once said that the university is one of the best times in life, but for me, it is more like a nightmare. At this moment, I am just going through the motions, wishing to quickly end this miserable life.
Because I'm afraid that my bad luck will affect my parents, I rarely call home. Even when my mom occasionally calls me, I make all kinds of excuses to avoid talking to her, even not speaking to her at all.
Because of this, my mom has not stopped complaining about me, saying that I must have found a girlfriend at the university and forgotten about her.
My goodness! It's really difficult for me to even see the face of a girl right now, so how could I possibly have a girlfriend?
Days go by slowly and unknowingly, and half of the semester has passed.
However, on the evening before the mid-term exams, something big happened at the school!
Someone jumped off a building!
The incident happened right next to the storeroom where I live. I had just returned to the "shabby room" from the library when I suddenly heard a huge crashing sound outside the door, as if a large watermelon had fallen from the sky.
Then I heard a series of frightened screams, and someone anxiously shouted, "Oh no! Someone from the girls' dormitory has jumped off the building!"
"What!"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but be startled and quickly rushed out of the room. When I arrived at the scene, the surroundings were already dark and crowded with people, constantly pointing and talking.
Initially, I didn't intend to join the crowd. After all, this involved someone jumping off a building, and one could imagine how gruesome and terrifying the scene could be. However, just as I was about to turn around and go back to the "shabby room," I suddenly heard someone say that the jumper seemed to be a freshman from the Department of Biology.
The Department of Biology?
Damn, that's our department!
Thinking of this, I quickly squeezed into the crowd, saying loudly, "Excuse me, please make way!"
"Who the hell are you? Why do you think..."
The crowd was packed, and my sudden movement immediately caused some people to express strong dissatisfaction, and someone even cursed at me.
However, when he turned to look at me, his angry face suddenly turned ugly, and he yelled, "Damn! Run, it's the jinx from the Department of Biology!"
"Jinx?"
As soon as I heard this, at least dozens of pairs of eyes in the vicinity immediately shot towards me, and then dispersed, leaving me with a path about two meters wide.
Without any hesitation, I quickly walked in.
"Ugh..."
At that moment, when I saw the body, I almost vomited on the spot. It was absolutely the most terrifying scene I had ever witnessed in my life. There were scattered bloodstains within a few meters, but the most horrifying thing was the nearly completely crushed head of the girl who had jumped off; the red and white matter was clearly visible.
Zhang Yao!
Enduring the fear and discomfort, I instantly recognized the identity of the jumper – it was Zhang Yao from our class! Her entire head was shattered, so it couldn't be seen clearly, but I was able to recognize her solely because of her clothes!
Zhang Yao was the literary committee member of our class. Just the day before, I had seen her at the college's literary evening! And she was wearing this same outfit! A bright red ancient-style dress!
How could such a fine person choose to jump off?
Although I didn't have much interaction with my classmates, I could tell from Zhang Yao's usual demeanor that she must have been a cheerful and optimistic girl. What insurmountable obstacle could have led her to choose to leave this world in this way?
Before I could continue thinking, I suddenly heard someone sneer quietly next to me, "Hmph! Look, this girl is the jinx's classmate. I suspect this jinx is responsible for her death!"
Before he finished speaking, someone immediately nodded and agreed, "That's right! This jinx is evil, and the location of the jump is so close to where he lives…"
"Damn it! Say that again if you dare!"
Hearing these two people's remarks, I couldn't help but be filled with anger. I glared fiercely at them.
Damn it, things that have nothing to do with me are being blamed on me? If the end of the world really came, would you blame me for it too?
"Go, go... quickly leave here..."
Perhaps sensing my angry gaze, the two men instantly fell silent, and their companion quickly pulled them away from the scene. "The jinx" is not something to be trifled with; if one were to be infected by his bad luck, it would be disastrous!
Not just this group, even the other onlookers nearby couldn't help but retreat a long way.
At this moment, the school and department leaders finally arrived with security guards. Without saying anything else, they quickly dispersed the crowd and removed Zhang Yao's body.
However, when they saw me, they all seemed taken aback, and no one dared to approach me. In the end, it was the head of our department who reluctantly gestured for me to leave.
Knowing that they were all unwelcoming to me, I had no intention of staying and returned to the "shabby room" in a huff. But all I could think about was Zhang Yao's miserable appearance, which I couldn't shake off for a long time.
Damn, if I had known it would be so horrifying, I wouldn't have joined in the commotion!
I felt extremely regretful, and at the same time, I felt incredibly sorry for Zhang Yao. At eighteen or nineteen, what a good age to leave the world in such a way?
Vaguely, I felt there must be something behind Zhang Yao's jump that was being kept secret. After all, such a lively and cheerful girl would never choose to leave the world in this way.
Furthermore, the dress Zhang Yao was wearing when she jumped off was from her previous performance. Such ancient-style dresses were rarely worn apart from on stage!
In other words, before jumping off the building, Zhang Yao should have deliberately worn this red outfit.
Red clothes?
Wait, red clothes!
Suddenly, a flash of insight crossed my mind, and I remembered the esoteric books that old Zhang had forced me to read before. One of them happened to have the saying "midnight red clothes, weight drops the soul"!
Although Zhang Yao did not jump off at midnight and did not have weights tied to her feet, the fact that she changed into a large red outfit before her death is sufficient to explain many things.
She must have been wronged and died with resentment! Otherwise, why would she change into a large red outfit before dying?
Red clothes bind the soul, lingering resentment. According to folklore, this is almost a surefire way to transform into a malicious ghost!
Midnight red clothes weigh down the soul, reincarnation from both sides of heaven, grievances in the chest cannot be resolved, willing to wander for millions of years.
According to the book, this is a price to pay for reincarnation, turning the clear into a malicious spirit, not entering hell nor reincarnation, wandering in the world with malicious energy.
Of course, although I thought of all this and concluded that Zhang Yao must have died with resentment, I don't actually believe that she would become a malicious ghost. After all, the talk of ghosts and spirits has always been elusive, even our great Chairman Mao said to eliminate superstition and overthrow all ghosts and spirits.
Furthermore, even if Zhang Yao did become a malicious ghost, it would have nothing to do with me. Whoever caused her to die with resentment, she should go find them, what does it have to do with me, Wang Lin?
The school is preparing to apply to top universities, and with such an incident, the school authorities are naturally trying to block the news. However, can such a big incident really be hidden by them?
Soon, the news spread widely, and everyone was speculating about what caused Zhang Yao to jump off the building.
A beautiful girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, how could she possibly commit suicide without any special reasons?
That evening, someone came out to analyze the reasons for the incident. At first, it was said that she was too jealous and afraid that her final exam results would be too poor to qualify for this year's scholarship, so she chose to jump off the building.
Later, it was said that she was troubled with love, and then it became even more absurd, to the point that it made me angry. Damn, some people actually believe that she was hurt by me! They are directly saying that I, the "unlucky star," caused Zhang Yao's death!
There are even good-hearted people in the school's forum who started a poll on the reason for Zhang Yao's suicide. I went online to check and found that the support for the last reason exceeded half?
