Chapter 10 It's Normal for Strange Things in the Boys' Dorm
Baishui City, a male dormitory of a university.
"Third brother, are you going out to get food?"
"Bring me a piece of braised chicken."
"I want beef and potatoes."
In the dormitory, the third child, wearing square glasses and covered in acne, looked at his roommate helplessly.
"I'm planning to go out to buy a book, but there's no way to go to the canteen."
"Unless you call me daddy."
"Dad!" x2
"Okay." The corner of Lao San's mouth curled up, and he turned around and walked out of the dormitory.
Half an hour later.
The third child returned to the dormitory with a book bag in his left hand and a lunch box in his right hand.
"My dear sons, dinner is ready."
"Okay, it's my third master who is on the right track. Unlike the eldest brother, who only knows how to play basketball every day and ignores his brothers."
"I recorded what you said, and I will play it to the boss when he takes me to a social gathering in the evening."
"Dad, what are you saying? It hurts the child's heart."
"Okay, eat yours."
The third child was amused by his two roommates and made him laugh and cry.
There are four people in the dormitory, from the eldest to the fourth.
The eldest is handsome and loves sports. He is very popular with girls.
The second child is a top student and fair-looking, but he doesn't like to socialize.
The third child is not good at anything. His only hobby is reading horror novels. He had just planned to buy a horror novel when he went out. He could tell ghost stories during the social gathering in the evening, and maybe create some opportunities.
As for the fourth child, he is the poorest talker in the dormitory. He is a severe patient with social arrogance and often does things that are different from ordinary people.
At this time, the eldest brother went out to play basketball, and the third child, after handing the box lunch to the second and fourth children, lay back on his bed.
"Conversation"
This was a book that the boss highly recommended when he was buying books at the bookstore today, and he mysteriously told the third child not to read it alone.
The third child felt a little scared when he heard this.
But then he thought again, if it was really scary enough to scare those girls into screaming, wouldn't there be a better chance?
Thinking of the beautiful scene, Lao San opened the first page of the novel.
Twenty minutes later.
After finishing their meal, the second and fourth children were getting ready to go to bed and take a nap.
"Lao San, by the way, have you had lunch?"
Before going to bed, the fourth child suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to see the third child eating, so he asked.
However, no answer was received.
He looked at Lao San strangely and found that he was holding a book with a black cover, looking at it intently and not hearing his question at all.
This is not just once or twice. Every time the third child sees a good book, he will not eat or drink as he does now, and he must read it to the end.
The fourth child didn't pay much attention, shrugged and went to bed.
...
evening.
"Brothers, get ready to go!"
As the eldest brother returned to the dormitory, the second and fourth children were also pulled out of their sleep.
The fourth child looked at the third child's bed again and found that he was still reading the book.
"Damn it, Third Brother, you can't read that book from noon to now?"
The fourth child stepped forward and shook the third child.
The third child then put down his book and looked at the fourth child.
His eyes were bloodshot.
The whole person looked a little dull.
"I'm not going, I want to read a book."
"Ah?" Upon hearing this, several other people in the dormitory looked at each other.
They knew that the third child was obsessed with horror stories, but they didn't expect that the other party could be so obsessed with it.
"Are you sure you don't want to go?" the boss tried to ask.
But he didn't get a reply, and the third child focused his eyes on the book again.
Seeing this, others stopped trying to persuade him.
After everyone changed their clothes, they went out together, leaving only the third child alone.
The dormitory suddenly became silent.
.......
night.
The three people in the dormitory walked arm in arm on the way back to the dormitory.
"It's a pity that the third child didn't come. This friendship is really great!"
"Everyone has a beautiful voice, hey hey hey."
"Whoever lets him catch this book will follow him like a demon."
"You said we wouldn't go back now, is he still watching?"
"Who knows?"
Not long after, the three of them returned to the dormitory.
As soon as they entered the dormitory, they saw the third child sitting on a chair holding a book.
"Third brother, what are you doing?"
As soon as the sound came out, the third child seemed to be frightened, and his body visibly trembled.
At this time, his condition was obviously not quite right.
His eyes were bloodshot, and even his face was pale.
"horrible."
"This book is so horrible that I must throw it away."
The third child seemed to be answering or talking to himself.
After saying that, he ignored other people's inquiries and rushed out of the dormitory.
"This third child is also quite funny. I was so stunned when I read this book."
The boss laughed.
"Say, after he throws that book away, how about I buy a new one and put it in his drawer tomorrow?"
"It has completely cured his habit of reading horror stories, so that in the future he won't always be missing one when he goes out for social gatherings."
As soon as these words came out, the second and fourth children both looked at the boss with wide eyes.
"Damn it, you're still ruthless."
"But this is also a way, I think you can try it."
The three of them laughed in the dormitory.
Soon, after the three of them washed themselves, they went to bed one after another.
Not long after, the third child also returned to the dormitory, but he still looked distracted, his mouth opened and closed vaguely, and he didn't know what he was talking to himself.
"Third brother, where did you throw that book?" the boss asked from the bed.
"Huli." After saying that, the third child went to bed without saying a word.
The other three looked at each other with a sly smile on their faces.
.......
the next day.
"Has any of you seen the third child?"
The boss, who had played basketball all morning, returned to the dormitory and asked.
"I don't know, I haven't seen him all day today."
"This kid..." The boss shook his head helplessly.
"I'm really becoming more and more unsociable."
Then the boss took something out of his bag and shook it in the air.
"What do you think this is?"
"Damn it, boss, did you really buy it?"
It was Lao San who saw the whole day's "The Talk" yesterday
While the second and fourth children were watching the fun, the eldest brother took the book to the toilet. He soaked the book for a while and pretended to fish it out of the water.
Then he came to Lao San's desk and opened the drawer.
However, at this moment, the boss suddenly let out a light sigh.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that something was wrong with the boss's expression, the fourth child asked aloud.
I saw the boss put his hand out of the drawer and took out a book.
It's "The Meeting of Trickeries"
And just like the one in his hand, it looked like it had been fished out of the water.
"This...did you release it?"
"No, we stayed in the dormitory all day today and didn't go out."
The second and fourth children looked at each other and both shook their heads.
"Could it be that the third child ran out and picked up this book again in the middle of the night, right?!"
The boss suddenly thought of a possibility.
When he said this, the other two felt that the possibility was very high.
When I was reading a book, I threw the book into the lake, and then ran to the lake to pick it up myself.
This has obviously gone beyond the scope of liking reading.
"No, we have to talk to the third child when he comes back. His behavior is a bit too abnormal."
Having said this, the boss put the books he bought back into his drawer and went out again.
"If the third child comes back, remember not to let him go out again and wait for me to come back."
