Chapter 56 Atonement
Chapter 56 Atonement
Xie Xingyin's expression turned cold: "Where is it now?"
"It's, it's here..." Xu Lele trembled for a long time before gritting his teeth like a strong man broke his wrist, "Under the peach tree in the laboratory building, we buried it together..."
Only then did they suddenly realize: No wonder Xu Lele was so afraid of going to the laboratory building, it was not just because of those weird rumors.
The head is under the peach tree in the laboratory building.
Xu Lele still didn't know who the person who wanted to kill him was, facing Xie Xingyin and Lu Fen, trembling, desperately hid in the corner.
Xie Xingyin already understood in his heart - it turned out that they had already gotten into trouble.No wonder the "Night Talk Club" wanted to organize this event. Zheng Xinwei wanted to take the opportunity to kill them who accidentally broke the secret.
—
It was still dark outside, and the street lamps along the way were emitting a pale white light.
Without time to delay, Xie Xingyin picked up Lao Liang who was still asleep, and the three of them went to the back mountain to find the baby's skeleton.
The back mountain in the early morning was still scary, but at any rate, three people came this time. Thanks to the large number of people, Xie Xingyin became more courageous.
In view of what happened in the laboratory building before, the three of them got very close after entering the door.
"Be careful, don't get lost."
From the moment he entered the door, the eyes of the prayer beads on Xie Xingyin's wrist opened one by one, this place is indeed very cloudy.
The glass window connecting the flower bed on the first floor could not be opened. When they were trying to find a way, the little white figure appeared again, accompanied by a series of "giggling" laughter.
"Follow him!" The three hurriedly followed, only to see the child disappear into the corridor entrance in a flash.
They hurried after it and followed it into the corridor on the second floor.
"This way."
Lu Fen turned over the railing on the second floor and jumped into the central flower bed.Soon Xie Xingyin and Lao Liang also climbed down, and they found a few broken shovels in the corner, which were already covered with rust.
Under the peach tree, Lao Liang picked up a broken shovel, and while digging the soil, he shouted wickedly:
"No wonder this laboratory building is so dark. This is his own son. Burying the body under the peach tree is to prevent him from being reborn forever! Can the ghost baby's resentment not be heavy!"
The three dug under the tree for a while, when Xie Xingyin's shovel suddenly hit something hard.
He dropped the shovel, squatted down and poked the dirt away, and found a worn-out cloth bag with unknown bugs crawling on it.
Xie Xingyin frowned and opened it with a branch, and there was indeed a baby's skull inside.
"Here it is." Lao Liang took out the other parts of the skeleton, and after comparing them, it turned out that they were about the same size.
So the three of them took the baby's skull with them, put the whole body back together, and found a place outside the teaching building to re-encoffin.
They piled up a small grave with earth, and Lao Liang sighed and said, "It's safe in the earth. Do you want to burn incense for this little ancestor?
Before Xie Xingyin could answer, a baby's cry suddenly came from behind.But Lao Liang was expressionless and indifferent.
"Did you hear that?" Xie Xingyin asked.
Lu Fen shook his head, and Lao Liang was taken aback. "What?"
Sure enough, I still didn't hear it.
Xie Xingyin remembered that the string of Buddhist beads could allow him to see things that others could not see, so he turned back to search.
Sure enough, in the dark corner of the teaching building, Zheng Ranran was holding a baby.Her tongue was burnt in the fire, and she couldn't speak normally, she just waved to Xie Xingyin from a distance, and pointed to the direction down the mountain.
"What happened?" Lao Liang looked at Xie Xingyin's expression getting more and more serious.
"Quick, go back!" Xie Xingyin said.
—
After Xiaoyan and Chen Qing got up, they found the message from Xie Xingyin in the early morning.They said that they had made important discoveries, so they were told not to go to the classroom, but to wait for the news in the dormitory.
All the students had left and the two girls were waiting in the dormitory.
Not long after, they heard movement outside the bedroom door.
Xiaoyan thought it was they who came back, or the dormitory teacher.But when she walked over to check the situation, she smelled an unusual smell.
Chen Qing also smelled it, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Gasoline." Why does it smell like gasoline?
She immediately went forward to push the door, but the door seemed to be nailed to death, no matter how much they pulled and kicked, it still remained motionless.
Chen Qing ran to the balcony, wet his clothes with water and covered his mouth and nose.Xiaoyan hastily took out his mobile phone to make a call, but he couldn't get through to Xie Xingyin's number.
Just when they were extremely anxious, they saw a familiar face through the glass window——Zheng Xinwei's face flashed past, and it looked particularly ferocious under the light of the fire.
At this time, the fire had already spread, burning all the way in through the crack of the door, quickly igniting the mosquito net and bed sheets, and the room was filled with the choking smell of smoke.
Chen Qing pulled Xiaoyan and pushed it to the balcony, and looked down.They live on the sixth floor, and there is no way to jump down.
Now they felt Zheng Ranran's helplessness when he jumped off the building in the fire.
In the midst of the chaos, there were ragged footsteps in the corridor, as if someone was coming this way.
The balcony door of the next bedroom opened with a "bang", and Lu Fen stretched out his hand towards them from the balcony next door.
"Come here, step on the air-conditioning box and crawl over."
The fire was raging behind him, and it was about to spread to the next door.The two girls stood unsteadily on the railing of the balcony and turned over to the balcony next door.
Xie Xingyin's eyes hurt from the soaring flames and thick smoke, and when he ran outside the corridor to find a fire extinguisher, he almost bumped into Zheng Xinwei who was hiding in the corner.
As soon as Zheng Xinwei saw him, he turned his head and ran away guiltily.
"Stop!" How could Xie Xingyin let him run under his nose, and chased after him.In a panic, Zheng Xinwei turned his head and ran up the stairs, Xie Xingyin chased after him, and the two rushed to the rooftop all the way.
Zheng Xinwei slammed to a stop by the low guardrail of the rooftop, and when he turned around, he saw Xie Xingyin who had already caught up.
There is no way for him to retreat.
"You are the president of the night talk club, right?" Seeing that he had stopped running away, Xie Xingyin still did not dare to relax, his eyes fixed on him, "So you set the fire that forced Ran Ran to death, Teacher Xia Falling into the water has nothing to do with you... Oh, by the way, and that security guard?"
Zheng Xinwei stared at him without answering.
Xie Xingyin took a step forward, and continued: "You were the one who wanted to burn us to death in the complex that day, right?"
Until now, Zheng Xinwei didn't intend to admit it, and argued, "The deaths of Ran Ran and Teacher Xia were accidental. What are you talking about...I don't understand at all."
"Then tell me, who set the fire just now?" Xie Xingyin took a step forward, and at the same time reached into his pocket and quietly held the handle of the knife.
"Stop pretending, we went to the restaurant in the middle of the night yesterday. Zheng Ranran has already told us everything."
Zheng Xinwei's face finally turned pale suddenly, and his lips trembled.He didn't deny it anymore, and he couldn't help denying it.
His hands were trembling, and when Xie Xingyin approached, he suddenly pulled out a sharp knife with a cold light.In a state of almost madness, he erupted with great strength. Fortunately, Xie Xingyin was prepared, and after some scuffling, Zheng Xinwei was subdued.
At this time, Zheng Xinwei's eyes were red, and he was almost in a frenzy. He kept screaming: "She is also at fault, obviously she is also at fault! I didn't strangle the child to death alone!"
Amidst Zheng Xinwei's frenzied screams, Xie Xingyin had roughly connected the events in his mind.
It is not uncommon for young boys and girls to fall in love early, but for Zheng Xinwei it is a secret that cannot be touched.
Because the object of his puppy love is his close cousin.No one knew about their relationship, and to outsiders they looked like little more than a pair of close cousins who had the occasional chance to be alone.
After going back and forth, Zheng Ranran accidentally got pregnant because of someone's negligence.Abortion of minors requires parents to sign and agree, but this matter must not be let their parents know.
Out of cowardice, they procrastinate and procrastinate, accidentally delaying the time.Zheng Ranran was born prematurely when she was six months old, and gave birth to a deformed baby with a missing right arm.
The two reached an agreement on this matter, and together they strangled the newborn baby to death in its infancy.
It was not until the impulse faded that they realized the consequences of doing so.To strangle a baby is to kill.
Zheng Xinwei's competition results are excellent, and he was recommended to a prestigious school early, with a bright future.This matter must not be exposed.
The two of them didn't tell anyone, and buried the baby in the abandoned school building at night.But this incident was bumped into by security guards patrolling at night.
Zheng Xinwei didn't say anything at that time.But the next day, Zheng Ranran heard that a body was found in Houshan.
She was terrified for a long time, and finally got up the courage to ask other people, only then did she know that the corpse was not a baby, but an adult.
The face and fingerprints were burned off to make the body unrecognizable, and the body was thrown into the wild.The later investigation found that it was the security guard who broke their secret.
After this incident, Zheng Ranran finally had a confrontation with Zheng Xinwei.After experiencing countless nightmares, Zheng Ranran finally couldn't take it anymore, rushed into the boys' dormitory to find Zheng Xinwei, and told him that he would surrender himself.
Zheng Ranran has made up his mind, and he can't persuade him no matter what.Zheng Xinwei was afraid that she would involve himself if she surrendered, so in order to cover up the secret, he locked the door of the dormitory, set a fire on it, and let Zheng Ranran and other roommates in the dormitory who might discover the truth be buried in the flames.
These incidents were magnified by some troublesome person, and became the "strange campus talk" that people talked about.
Later, Zheng Xinwei simply started a night talk club on an anonymous forum, pushing all the students who were interested in the strange campus stories and the secrets behind them, and all those who might find out his secrets, into hell.
The male student in the dormitory who was burned to death by the fire, the head teacher who slipped into the artificial lake and drowned two years ago after finishing self-study two years ago, everything has nothing to do with him.
When Xie Xingyin and others approached his secret, the "President of the Night Talk Club" released a new task, pushing them into the abyss of death.
But this time, he didn't expect that someone could walk out of the laboratory building alive with a doll.
……
Zheng Xinwei broke away from Xie Xingyin like an explosion, and rushed towards the edge of the rooftop like crazy.Before Xie Xingyin could stop him, Zheng Xinwei had already jumped off the rooftop.
Not far away, Zheng Ranran was standing downstairs in the opposite bedroom, watching what happened here from a distance, with a blank expression on his face.
The moment Zheng Xinwei jumped down, he didn't know if he saw them, but his expression was extremely relaxed.
Originally, there was only one week left before he would graduate from this middle school.
He thought that he could run towards a glorious future and future from now on, and no one would ever pursue his dark past again.
But what he didn't know was that once he carried the heavy cross, he would have to atone for his sins throughout his life.
