Girls’ Dormitory Escape

 Chapter 40: Classic Movie Appreciation (14)

     Before Wei Xian could react, she was dragged into the dormitory and pressed on a chair with a trace of bewilderment on her face.

    "You, don't you guys want to tell me about my roommate?"

    "That's right." Tang Xinjue nodded, and began to talk with a natural expression: "That's right, the incident happened a month ago..."

    Seeing the signal in her eyes, Guo Guo walked over quietly, scanned Wei Xian carefully with her yin and yang eyes, and shook her head.

    They were living beings, not ghosts.

    "One day a month ago, we suddenly discovered that when you were not around, Jin Wen sneaked into the dormitory with a masked man, and after being knocked over by us, she claimed that it was her cousin... "

    Zhang You also came up, and the 'thug' type on the malicious sensor props indicated that it was not strong. At this time, Wei Xian was not very dangerous and can communicate with them.

    Wei Xian listened intently: "And then?"

    Tang Xinjue: "And then, this masked man not only came here sometimes with Jin Wen, but also followed Cao Rou and Zhou Xing. He rummaged around your location, especially your location."

    Wei Xian opened her eyes wide and was furious: "He turned my stuff! Then?"

    "And then, one day, we couldn't hold back, and finally stopped to ask your roommate, why do you always bring that masked man back, and lie about being your cousin. You know, strangers always appear in the female dormitory, and we feel very unsafe, right?"

    Wei Xian nodded in agreement: "Yes, right, and then?"

    "The other party was surprised and told me that they never brought a man back." Tang Xinjue changed the subject and lowered her voice: "We just realized that all of this is an illusion that we saw unilaterally... So we have yin and yang eyes and can see ghosts!"

    Wei Xian: "..." She was silent for two seconds, her eyes rolled slowly in the eye sockets, as if digesting this information. After a long time, the corners of her mouth parted slightly, and hesitantly said: "Then what?"

    "That's why we brought you here." Tang Xinjue looked solemn, and said seriously: "I heard that you can catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits under your Master, so we just want you to see if you can help save us from the ghosts in the dormitory. To choose a day is worse than to encounter a date*, how about today?" 

*zé rì bù rú zhuàng rì - to pick a date is not as good as to encounter a date. Meaning: it's better to do it now; there's no time like the present. In the past, Chinese people had to choose a good day for any major activities, such as weddings and funerals, ground-breaking sacrifices, and even "bathing". This is the so-called "choosing a date".

    Wei Xian closed her mouth again.

    After a moment of silence, she said helplessly, "But, what I learned from my Master is fortune-telling, not ghost hunting?"

    Tang Xinjue shook her head: "This is a matter of life and death, we can chip in the money for you. You can pay as much as you want, so don’t hide your strength.”

    Wei Xian: “?? Wait? But I really don’t know how to do it!!”

    Tang Xinjue waved: “Guo Guo, come and cry.”

    Guo Guo took a deep breath. In one breath, brewing for two seconds, she rushed to Wei Xian's side with a stride, hugged the chair and cried loudly: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I can’t pass the exam anymore, I don’t want to live anymore! Help us!”

    Wei Xian was dumbfounded by the sound of crying and howling, and even subconsciously wanted to break free and run outside, but she was pushed down as soon as she got up.

    The most beautiful and cold-looking girl came behind her at some point, and the hand on her shoulder was as strong as a cow, and refused to let Wei Xian break free.

    She raised her head in panic and helplessness, and saw Tang Xinjue was looking at her sincerely, and there was no falsehood in her eyes.

    She was at a loss in the chaos, and suddenly heard Tang Xinjue say: "Then how about this, you contact your master, after we ask your master for help, we won't bother you anymore."

    "Oh, yes, yes." Wei Xian subconsciously adopted this suggestion, took out her mobile phone and quickly called up the contacts, and just sent two messages, the girl snapped her mobile phone, bit her lower lip as if she had just woken up from a dream, her face was pale: "No! Master said to me, I must not contact him before the time for the transfer technique! Otherwise, otherwise..."

    The four people in the dormitory immediately asked: "Otherwise what will happen?"

    "Otherwise, he will be found by that thing..."

    Wei Xian was speechless.

    She began to tremble all over, her lips parted strangely, her eyeballs protruded outwards, her entire face was twisted into a terrified look, she thrashed violently on the chair, and her phone slipped to the ground.

    Tang Xinjue gave a look, and the others let go of the restraint on Wei Xian. The girl immediately rushed to the door, raised her hands high and touched the yellow paper bag on the door of bedroom 612. The trembling slowly stopped, and the whole person looked a little normal.

    Immediately afterwards, she glanced at Tang Xinjue and the others in horror, and rushed back to dormitory 612 as if avoiding some terrifying monster.

    The four people in dormitory 606: "..."

    Guo Guo said softly, "I don't think she will come to promote the transfer technique in a short time."

    Using magic against magic, this operation might be called quantum hedging*.

*This is honestly a whole finance theory that I am still not clear about - it's not even translation matter anymore, it's just my brain. So Quantum fund is a world-renowned large-scale hedge fund that is high-risk. Hedging is a financial term that refers to an investment that deliberately reduces the risk of another investment. It consists of the purchase or sale of equal quantities of the same or very similar commodities, approximately simultaneously. All in all, it's just our heroine offsetting the death flag from the ghost-to-be by using the same method as said ghost?

    After closing the door, several people turned around, Zhang You stretched out her hand silently. In the palm of her hand was the mobile phone that Wei Xian had just quietly picked up from the ground.

    This was their biggest gain in this game.

    [Why the sudden message? Didn't I tell you not to contact me?]

    [What exorcism? What the hell did you hear?]

    Two messages popped up on the phone screen, it was not difficult to imagine the exasperated tone on the phone.

    In the dormitory, the four of them looked at each other, their excitement and tension palpable. Immediately, based on the previous message records on the phone, Tang Xinjue typed a line of reply:

    [Sorry Master, there is a problem in the dorm next door to me. After I recommended the transfer technique to them, they said they had nightmares and hit ghosts, and they wanted to come to me to settle accounts, so I came to you in a moment of anxiety qwq]

    After a long while, a new message popped up on the opposite side: [It turned out to be like this, did that dormitory cast successfully? ]

    [No, master, they seem to have failed, there will be no sequelae qwq]

    [Trash! If you can't even do this little thing well, and even one dormitory can't be settled, how can you be my apprentice?]

    [Sorry Master! I will complete your order as soon as possible! It's just...]

    [Just what? ]

    [It's just that my roommates have also started to have nightmares, I'm a little worried about them qwq]

    [Don't worry, this spell is good for you and not bad for you, how can me, your Master, harm you? It's just that the magic effect is too strong, and you can't bear it for a while. After this period of time, everything will turn around. It is your blessing to ensure that your wishes will come true and soar to the sky from now on!]

    [Thank you, Master, you are really kind!!]

    Tang Xinjue had no expression on her face and her fingers flew like flying. Rows of sincere compliments appeared on the screen. At the end, she changed her tone and got to the point: [By the way, Master, I see that my roommates seem to be very urgent and want to find you. This time allows them to touch the transfer bag for a long time to pray and feel the blessings, strengthen the influence of the transfer technique, and help them get through this period as soon as possible.

    ...It's just that I don't know which of them is closer to the "blessing" now, Master, what do you think?]

    Tang Xinjue sent all the names of the member of the 612 dormitory.

    The dorm was so quiet that a needle could be heard, and everyone held their breaths waiting for the answer from the other side.

    After a long while, Wei Xian's "Master" sent a reply:

    [You have such a heart, as your Master I'm very pleased. I just calculated your names, and then found...]

    [Congratulations, Apprentice. Your life is very good, and you will get blessings faster than everyone else!]
