"What does this have to do with the sculpture you mentioned?" Jiang Cheng asked.
Judging from the behavior of the school security guards, his death was not an accident, but someone was targeting him and he had to die.
Yuan Xiaoyi breathed out and looked at Jiang Cheng with a calm look, "Because the thing happened so suddenly, less than 10 minutes after leaving the police station, the person died, and he was still dead... "He died so tragically that everyone can't help but feel a chill in their hearts when they think back to how the security guard behaved not long ago."
"The case itself was nothing special. The truck was traveling normally, but at a slightly faster speed. The security guard went crazy and crossed the road."
"The responsible police officer paid close attention to the incident and conducted a detailed investigation. He obtained a very important piece of information from a witness nearby."
"The witness was on the side of the road, not far from where the security incident happened."
"According to him, he was waiting for a red light in front of the zebra crossing, and the security guard rushed over diagonally from across the street at a very fast speed."
"There were not many cars on the road at that time. According to the speed of the security guard, nothing would happen if he rushed over directly. But the strange thing is that when he rushed to the middle of the road, he suddenly stopped."
"But..." Yuan Xiaoyi raised her head and looked at Jiang Cheng with strange eyes, "The driveway in front of him was empty at that time, there was no car at all!"
"He seemed to be frightened by something, staring straight in one direction. This lasted for about 6 or 7 seconds, and then...then what happened next."
Yuan Xiaoyi's words were very clear. If it weren't for these few seconds of delay, the security guard would not have died.
Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and probably had an idea in his mind. He asked Yuan Xiaoyi: "What was the security guard looking at before he died? Have you found out?"
Yuan Xiaoyi nodded, and then said in a small voice: "I found it. The police conducted a scene simulation at that time, and also invited the witnesses back. They stood where they were. The last direction the security guard looked was... ." Yuan Xiaoyi paused and said, "It's a coffee shop across the street."
Before Jiang Cheng could ask, Yuan Xiaoyi quickly said: "This coffee shop is nothing special, just an ordinary one. There are large floor-to-ceiling windows outside. As long as you buy a cup of coffee, you can sit in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows all afternoon and watch the outside. Scenery, killing time.”
"Similarly, on the afternoon of the next day, the police obtained a video. It was taken by a few college students. It was a club of some university. They were at the scene at the time. They thought they were filming the traffic on the road, but they didn't expect that it happened to be taken. The entire process of the security guard’s death.”
"In the video, that cafe also appeared. Although the camera flashed by, you can still see a sculpture appearing behind the floor-to-ceiling windows of that cafe!"
"The white one is very obvious, it's... the one that was photographed in the sculpture hall!"
"Bust!"
Yuan Xiaoyi looked at Jiang Cheng nervously, her voice trembling, acting like a frightened girl, and her eyes were so fearful that it made people feel distressed.
"At the scene where the security guard died, this weird bust appeared again..." Jiang Cheng touched his chin, as if he thought of something.
Now the death of the security guard is clear. The reason why he was stunned in the middle of the road was because of the sudden appearance of the bust.
"That's it." Yuan Xiaoyi nodded repeatedly and added: "And this time, just like the previous time, the police found this coffee shop and asked many people, but no one remembered the bust and had no impression at all."
"There is also surveillance in the coffee shop, but nothing was captured." Yuan Xiaoyi continued.
"Later, when the police returned, they dug out the video of the security guard in the police station at that time. The security guard was alone in the room at night, staring at the corner with his eyes wide open without even blinking."
"The police officer on duty at night was very strange. He checked back and forth several times, but found nothing."
"But...but when I looked again this time, I discovered a strange phenomenon. In the corner...on the wall facing the corner, there was an extra shadow, which was very blurry."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng asked in a low voice: "I didn't see anyone, but there were shadows on the wall. Is that true?"
"Yes, that's it." Yuan Xiaoyi nodded, "It's like there is an invisible person standing there."
"It's not just this time!"
"It was the same thing with the psychiatrist, and it was even more obvious."
Yuan Xiaoyi said excitedly: "There is obviously only one piece of clothing on the hanger, but the shadow on the wall behind has a head, and... and it is still shaking, as if it is about to fall off at any time. I am Talk about the head...the head is going to fall off!"
"Don't be nervous, Xiao Yi." Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand, looked into Yuan Xiaoyi's eyes, and said comfortingly: "It seems that all this is related to that bust. The strange stories in the sculpture hall also appeared because of it."
"How did the school deal with it later?" Jiang Cheng asked, "I mean the sculpture hall?"
Yuan Xiaoyi sighed after hearing Jiang Cheng's words, shook her head and said, "What else can we do? Transport all the sculptures for the exhibition, and then the sculpture hall will be closed."
"Later, until the school changed its leadership, I heard that the new leadership was quite young. He came from a big city and had spent many years abroad. He didn't really care... about this kind of thing." Yuan Xiao Yi said with some emotion: "Not long after arriving, everyone discovered that the sculpture hall had been renovated and renovated. After a while, it was renovated and reopened."
"Has nothing happened since the opening?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"There are some, but they are not serious. Some people who have been there have reported that it is very cold inside. It is so cold that wearing thick clothes and carrying hand warmers is useless."
"There are also rumors that the sculptures in the sculpture hall often move inexplicably. When they were closed in the afternoon, they were fine. But one night later, when they opened the doors again the next morning, their positions had changed. I searched for them for a long time and couldn't find them. No reason."
Speaking of this, Yuan Xiaoyi suddenly lowered her voice: "Because many people know about the male teacher and the security guard, they turn a blind eye to the sculpture hall and don't dare to delve into it. Anyway, It’s okay as long as you can’t lose the things inside.”
"By the way, after the incident with the male teacher, no one dared to work the night shift in the Art Center building. The school security office said to the outside world that someone stayed behind to watch the shift at night, but everyone in our school knew that it was all To fool the people outside, there is no one in the security room, the lights are on."
"At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, it was still daylight, and the last batch of students finished their classes, and the art center started to rush people out and then locked the door."
After listening for a long time, most of them were stories that had no beginning or end. Jiang Cheng became a little impatient. He went straight to the point and told Yuan Xiaoyi that he wanted to know how to rescue Xiaoyu who was trapped in the strange stories.
Seemingly sensing the change in Jiang Cheng's attitude, Yuan Xiaoyi was a little nervous and said: "Senior, don't worry, maybe...maybe I'm too wordy, but I really don't want to see Xiaoyu. Something happened, so I want to explain the ins and outs of the matter clearly."
"I don't have many friends in school, Xiaoyu is my best friend." At this point, Yuan Xiaoyi was still a little aggrieved, and her eyes turned red.
Jiang Cheng sighed secretly in his heart, this guy is really bad at acting, but he still cooperated with her emotions and tried to comfort her.
"Senior." Yuan Xiaoyi raised her head with pitiful eyes, "Xiaoyu told me that the things in the Sculpture Center are sculptures... things like sculptures are alive, and... ....and more than one, they move, at night.”
"Even if she was hiding, she could still hear the footsteps of those things, as well as the sounds of crawling and scratching on the ground. It was very scary."
"Those things are looking for her. If Xiaoyu is found, she will definitely be killed by them. No, it's not them, it's it... it's it!"
Yuan Xiaoyi seemed to have lost her soul and was speaking incoherently. The more Jiang Cheng listened, the stranger it became. However, the last sentence attracted Jiang Cheng's attention. Yuan Xiaoyi said: "Because Xiaoyu knows its details and its identity. I've... seen it before, so it must kill Xiaoyu!"
Similar narratives couldn't help but make Jiang Cheng feel familiar. "Like chasing that security guard?" Jiang Cheng frowned and asked, "Also, what do you mean when you say Xiao Yu knows the details?"
"Senior, that bust... has some origins." Yuan Xiaoyi whispered: "Later, someone took the photo of the bust and asked around, and it turned out that he was actually recognized. It was an old man. , almost a hundred years old, blind in one eye, and lives in a town near our school."
"When I saw the photo, the old man's remaining eye suddenly became straight. He couldn't help it at that time. He was so scared."
"After a long while, he finally cried with snot and tears and said that he knew this man and he was a big bandit."
"Back then, I led a group of bandits around here, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. My hands were covered with blood."
"The villages and towns nearby were really ruined by him. It is no exaggeration to say that when the children heard his name, they were so scared that they stopped crying immediately."
"His eye...that eye was blinded by this group of people."
"The old man gritted his teeth with hatred and said that after liberation, this man was caught by the soldiers, and then he and his men were pushed to the execution ground and killed."
"At first it was said to be shot, but the people didn't agree. The public was so angry. You couldn't imagine that there were so many people around at that time. Every household had relatives who died in his hands. There were also villagers carrying scissors, knives and other things. They were eager to Scratched him alive.”
"Other bandits were shot, but not him. He didn't use a gun..." Yuan Xiaoyi imitated the old man, wiped his neck with his hand, and whispered: "It was beheading, with that old-fashioned method. A big knife with a piece of red cloth tied behind it."
"The old man said that it is a ghost-headed knife. If you use this kind of knife to cut off your head, you will be reincarnated by the Lord of Hell and you will be a lonely ghost for the rest of your life."
