Jiaojiao

There was a loud bang in the bathroom.

Fu Wei was wrestled to the ground by Jiang Luo.

One of the black-haired youth's knee was menacingly pressed against Fu Wei's neck, Jiang Luo smiled and lowered his head, gently patting Fu Wei's cheek, "Don't do this kind of thing that makes your brother Jiang dislike you so much, okay?"

Fu Wei frowned and touched his lips, the corners of his mouth were already broken. No one would have thought that the youth who suppressed him, such an overly thin body, could have so much energy.

Jiang Luo tilts his head, and he warns with a smirk, "Spit at me again, and I'll press the cigarette butt to your face."

As he spoke, he took out a talisman from inside his clothes and put it on Fu Wei's body.

Jiang Luo hasn't forgotten his gamble with Chi You, and he needs to find Chi You.

Fu Wei has some resemblance, but also some differences. But I'd rather make a mistake than let it go. Anyway, Jiang Luo's talisman doesn't cost anything.

At the critical moment, Fu Wei grabbed his wrist and frowned in repulsion, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Luo did not bother to talk to him, he pushed his knee hard, Fu Wei grunted, and the force on his hand slackened.

The talisman was almost applied, but there was a knock on the bathroom door.

"Are you guys okay?" Zhang Cheng's voice hid the excitement of a good show underneath the concern, "What happened? Someone came with a video camera to record something."

Fu Wei took the opportunity to roll on the floor and sit up with his back against the bathroom door, his long legs propped up, his arms resting on his knees, suppressing his anger, "What the fuck is wrong with you?"

It doesn't look like it, it really doesn't.

But Chi You, since she was going to play "Guess who I am" with him, would not reveal herself in plain sight.

Jiang Luo regretfully stood up, put away the talisman and opened the door.

Zhang Cheng looked into the washroom inquisitively, and after seeing the blood on the corner of Fu Wei's lip, he let out an "ah", "Fu Wei, what are you ......".

"What's wrong?" A gentle voice asked.

Jiang Luo Looked with the voice and saw another handsome man.

This guy was the second place finisher on Next Stop, Idol, Xi Si. He's even better looking in person than he is on camera, humble and polite, and happy to take care of people.

"Why are you hurt?" Xi Si English frowned, "Don't you touch the wound, Zhang Cheng, you go to my dormitory and bring the medical kit."

"Alright, Brother Xi." Zhang Cheng ran out without saying a word.

Fu Wei sat in his seat with a sullen face and didn't say anything.

Zhao Ban didn't dare to speak, Xi Si seemed to be worried as if she didn't notice the condensation in the atmosphere, "We're recording tomorrow, how are you going to be on camera like this? Go and ask the dormitory manager for an egg to roll around, and when you do your makeup tomorrow, see if you can get the makeup artist to find a way to cover it up."

Fu Wei's face clouded, "None of your business."

If he were to say this to someone else, no one would want to lick his face. But Xi Si's smile remained unchanged, and he kindly warned, "Fu Wei, be careful, there are cameras."

Jiang Luo hides behind people and watches them.

He didn't want to go up to the camera, and he didn't worry about the camera catching him. The director had promised to try to keep him out of the movie, and as a bystander, Jiang Luo could clearly see the undercurrents beneath the peaceful surface of the group.

It's kinda fun.

But while he wanted to watch, someone else didn't want him to. Not sure if it was true kindness or not, Xi Si took the initiative to look at Jiang Luo, "You're new here, right?"

The camera follows his words and focuses on Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo narrowed his eyes and looked at Xi Si critically.

Xi Si walked over to his bedside to look at the name tag and smiled, "Jiang Huan, nice name and beautiful characters. Xiaohua, take a shot at your new teammate's characters."

The trainee called Xiaohua let out a "hey" and obediently went up and patted Jiang Luo's character.

This is intentionally giving Jiang Luo shots.

If Jiang Luo was really a simple trainee, he would probably be very grateful to Xi Si.

The dark lens shifted from the name tag to Jiang Luo's face, the rounded lens resembling a giant eye without an eyeball. Jiang Luo casually glanced at the camera, but stopped abruptly.

A sticky, voyeuristic feeling clings to his bones and digs into his crevices, where fine teeth nibble at the flesh of Jiang Luo's bones. It seemed as if someone was looking at him through this camera, no, it was someone who had been watching Jiang Luo for a long time, perhaps when Jiang Luo had just stepped into the location of Next Stop, Idol, or when Jiang Luo had been testing out other people. ...... Jiang Luo just didn't realize it. The first thing that you need to do is to get a good deal of money to pay for it.

Now, as if teasing its prey, the gaze surfaced, deliberately allowing Jiang Luo to discover it.

With the coolness of hindsight running down his back, Jiang Luo stared at the camera with a sullen face, the hairs on his body standing up in a flash.

The person holding the camera violently stumbled back two steps, put down the camera with a sweaty face, and looked at Jiang Luo in horror, "Brother Xi, Brother Xi, his eyes are so scary!"

In that moment, he even felt as if the man was going to kill him.

The eyes of the crowd gather around Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo's eyes, however, were nothing special, and he looked back strangely, "Where are my eyes scary?"

Xiao Hua stared at him blankly, Jiang Luo's eyes were too normal, there was still a rippling smile in the raised tails of his eyes, not only was it not scary, it was also very nice to look at. It was so normal that it looked like the eyes he just saw were an illusion.

"I'm sorry ......," he finally said.

Xi Si two people did not stay in their room for a long time, made such a mess, time is not early, Jiang Luo wash to sleep in the bed, before going to sleep, Zhang Cheng to go to turn off the lights, Fu Wei's voice in the upper bunk ringing, annoyed, "I said many times, do not turn off the lights."

Zhang Cheng subconsciously glanced at Jiang Luo, "Can Jiang Huan turn on the light when he sleeps?"

Jiang Luo lazily said, "I'm at liberty."

Fu Wei looked at Zhang Cheng coldly, "If you don't want to die, don't turn off the lights."

Zhang Cheng thought Fu Wei was threatening him. He took a few deep breaths and returned to the bed with an embarrassed face, hanging his clothes along the edge of the bed as a curtain.

The room fell silent and Jiang Luo took a short nap, waking up at twelve midnight. The breathing in the dormitory was heavy, everyone else was asleep. Jiang Luo got under the covers under the cover of the light and pulled out his cell phone.

"When is the action?"

Lu Youyi said, "I have someone here who is still awake, so I guess I'll have to be a little later."

"I'm going to be a little late too," Ye Xun said, "There's a guy in my room who's really weird, and he's got a lot of animosity towards me."

While chatting, a text message popped up on the top of his cell phone, Jiang Luo casually clicked on the text message, which contained only five words: [Did you find me?]

The cell phone number of the text message was unfamiliar, and the content was not labeled with a name, but Jiang Luo knew instantly who had sent it to him.

He clicked out his cell phone and quickly peeked out to the top bunk.

Fu Wei's back is turned away from the bed, and he doesn't seem to have a cell phone in his hands.

Jiang Luo went back to bed when a new text message came on his cell phone.

[If I can be found on the first day, there might even be a little surprise.]

Obviously it was a flat word, but Jiang Luo seemed to see Chi You's face that he hated so much, he gave a short sneer and dialed back the cell phone number.

There was a faint ringing of a cell phone outside the door.

Jiang Luo yanked on his jacket and threw it over his body and walked out cleanly, his feet so fast they felt like they were flying. There were bright lights in the hallway, but no one was there, and small moths buzzed around the incandescent lamps.

"Jingle bells."

The cell phone rang at the end of the hallway.

Jiang Luo straightened his jacket and took a step into the darkness.

There was an escape route at the end of the hallway and the stairwell lights were black. A cell phone rings alone in front of the stairway, vibrating more than once.

It was like a crude and stupid trap, Jiang Luo looked around the phone.

The stairway was pitch black. It made no sense that the lights were on in the corridor, but not in the stairway, which was more prone to safety accidents. Jiang Luo suddenly remembers Fu Wei's words, "If you don't want to die, don't turn off the lights".

Is that statement really a threat?

What happens if you turn off the lights?

The unanswered cell phone stopped ringing and Jiang Luo sent another message.

[You disappearing is the biggest surprise for me.]

After sending the message, Jiang Luo stared at his cell phone in the stairway. The phone lights up for a moment, and Jiang Luo wonders if Chi You will show up.

But after a brief silence, his cell phone lit up instead.

The untouched cell phone in front of him sent him a message, [You're so much fun, how could I leave you?]

Jiang Luo: "......"

He put the phone down with a grimace and looked around, finding the switch for the hallway light on the wall.

Jiang Luo, who is very bold and now has a belly full of anger, directly pressed out the light.

A curse he lowered his voice to came from the darkness.

Three of the hallway lights went out.

The moment it was extinguished, Jiang Luo saw what appeared to be a human shadow standing dry and straight in the darkness in the distance.

He froze and immediately turned on the light.

In the light, there was nothing in the corridor, and the place where the man had just stood was empty.

Jiang Luo rubbed his fingertips over the open light and turned it off again.

The dry human shadow appeared again, but unlike the last time, it turned to face Jiang Luo this time.

The discomfort of being stared at by something came keenly.

Jiang Luo's breathing lightened, he turned on the light, under the light, there was still nothing.

But the empty corridors seemed to harbor ghosts and monsters that could not be seen by human eyes. The unknown represents fear, and Jiang Luo turned off the light again.

But the black shadow, which had been twenty meters away the previous time, suddenly got in front of Jiang Luo, only three meters away from him.

Jiang Luo violently turned on the light.

The black shadow disappeared.

In a few short moments, Jiang Luo's forehead was already sweating profusely.

It was just a second before he felt the black shadow about to pounce.

Though this was a thrilling moment, Jiang Luo was able to see the black shadow clearly. His body was long and thin, his arms hung down by his knees, and his face was devoid of features.

What is this?

Jiang Luo's heartbeat gradually calmed down after he recalled the black shadow's appearance over and over again, engraving its every detail in his mind.

If this kind of thing really appears after the lights are turned off, it means Fu Wei definitely knows something.

Jiang Luo recalled where the monster was standing when the lights were first turned off.

He looked up and walked towards where the monster had been standing before, and had just taken a step out when Jiang Luo's cell phone rang.

But Jiang Luo clearly muted his cell phone.

He stopped in his tracks and took out his cell phone. The top of the phone showed a string of calls dialed from an unfamiliar cell phone number, the same cell phone number Chi You had messaged him from.

Jiang Luo pursed his lips and turned his head to look at the stairway, which was still filled with nothing but a constantly vibrating cell phone.

He pressed the answer button and held the phone to his ear.

"I haven't let you go yet," the man chuckled lowly, "how can you."

Jiang Luo was about to hang up his cell phone.

But the lights farthest from him suddenly went out one by one.

Jiang Luo's arm stiffened as he lifted his cell phone again, "Chi You, are you threatening me?"

He stared into the darkness in the distance, but the long, thin ghostly figure did not appear in the darkness.

But Jiang Luo knew that the monster was hiding in the darkness.

"I'm just trying to continue the game with you," the man replied, "Now, it's time for you to answer my question."

It's amazing how much patience Chi You has with Jiang Luo.

But he didn't seem to notice it himself.

Jiang Luo pressed the corner of his forehead, every time Chi You appeared, it was easy to stir up his anger. The evil spirit was laughing and joking on Jiang Luo's nerves, but Jiang Luo just wanted to cut him into pieces with a knife.

"On second thought," Jiang Luo tugged his lips, "Mr. Evil Ghost, this game you've set out to play isn't inherently fair."

The evil spirit's smirk was hidden, "Hmm?"

"I need to both find you and make sure I don't try to screw the Chi family, and fulfill both of those conditions in order to win," the dark haired young man clasped his arms, a mocking frown on his face, "but you're a different story, and all you need is for me to fail at one of those to win the game. "

Mr. Evil Ghost said, "Well," and realized, "Indeed."

Jiang Luo said: "At least you were a character when you were alive, but when you died you were an evil spirit, so you bullied people?"

The evil spirit stifled a laugh for a moment, "You're right."

"Then change the rules."

Somewhere.

Chi You held out a pale hand.

A passing feral cat was caught in his hand.

The wildcat purred shrilly as Chi You's fingers brushed gently over the wildcat's head, and soon the wildcat was absorbed in his petting, voluntarily stretching its neck to allow the cold, hard, ghostly hand to stroke its chin.

Chi You gently circled Wildcat's neck.

The prey obeyed him as if Jiang Luo was bowing down to him.

His voice was pleasant, but his hand kept getting harder and harder, and the wildcat had nowhere to go in his grasp.

"Since you want to be fair, you shouldn't have to use your talisman or bracelet either. If you accomplish both, I will add an additional secret," the evil spirit said in a low voice, "but with that, you will have to pay something."

"Every night, you need to tell me an answer to who you think I am, and if you find the wrong one, then," the evil spirit mused for a moment, "you'll get a small punishment."

The sentence ended and the phone was hung up.

Chi You slowly stroked the cat and muttered to herself, "How should I punish him."

The wildcat in his hand seemed to have turned into Jiang Luo. At the moment when the wildcat was about to be suffocated, it suddenly bit down hard on Chi You's palm, stared wildly at his hands and feet, his sharp nails scratched out blood marks on Chi You's hand, and swiftly leapt out of sight.

Jiang Luo squeezed his cell phone, his eyes sullen. He turned around and walked towards where the monster was standing before, but walked in front of his dormitory.

He pushed the door open and the dormitory was quiet, the leaves outside the window shifted a bit as if a wildcat had flown by.

Jiang Luo walked to the bedside and sat down.

What is the monster in the dark shadow, and why is that monster standing outside the door of this dormitory, by chance or hiding a deeper meaning?

Fuck Chi You.

Adding to the chaos on the hustle.

Jiang Luo glanced around.

Although the dormitory is brightly lit, Jiang Luo always feels that once the lights are turned off, the monster is still following him.

It was three meters away before, but with the lights off again, it might be as close as Jiang Luo's face.

Jiang Luo simply got up, walked to the bathroom, and took out three copper plates from his pocket.

According to Jiang Luo's understanding, fortune-telling and divination are strictly speaking two different things; fortune-telling calculates the general image of the hexagram, and asks vague questions. For example, Feng Li gave Jiang Luo the "bad luck" trigram in the third level, but only got the overall result of "bad luck", but not the details of the trigram.

Divination is a little more detailed and can produce a definitive answer. It's like if a person loses something, fortune telling can only conclude whether you can find the item, but divination can conclude in which direction the item is lost.

But to divine, you have to give clear questions to ask. What was lost, when was it lost, but most of the metaphysical people who divined were asking unanswered questions, there was no way to ask detailed questions. Just like now, Jiang Luo did not know who exactly Chi You was, and could not ask anything more detailed, he could only use vague questions to calculate a rough result.

Warming up for the first trigram, Jiang Luo asks a question that I don't know if it will work, "What should I do about the haters?"

The three coins are thrown repeatedly, and the final trigram is presented to Jiang Luo: Loss.

Jiang Luo: "......"

This name, alone, would already represent the inauspiciousness of this trigram.

It is also true that the loss trigram is a lower hexagram, but it is one of the more special hexagrams of the lower hexagrams.

Its appearance does not necessarily mean bad, and if it can be reversed, it can sometimes represent a win-win situation, or vice versa, resulting in damage to the guest by the host.

The meaning of the Loss Trigram is loss and gain check and balance.

It means that Jiang Luo will lose some benefits, but if he uses his losses as bait to overcome the toughness with softness, he will restrain the tough opponent and gain more benefits.

It is even possible that Jiang Luo can use this bait to cause serious damage to the other side.

Although it is the lower hexagram, but there is still a chance to turn around. After Jiang Luo consoled himself, he still couldn't figure out what this "using his own loss as bait" meant.

Forget it, think about it for a while.

Jiang Luo picks up the copper plate and starts to count the trigrams of Fu Wei, Zhang Cheng and Zhao Ban again.

He couldn't ask the three directly if they were Chi You, so he had to take a roundabout, different approach, "Are they bad for me."

The result was unexpected, except for Fu Wei, who was a centerpiece, Zhang Cheng and Zhao Ban were both a bit hostile to Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo raised his eyebrows, and Yu Guang glanced over at the mirror and thought it made sense.

After all, in their eyes, Jiang Luo is their competition.

He threw the copper in his pocket, not counting it, no point.

After all, Zhang Cheng and Zhao Ban are not the only ones who are hostile to Jiang Luo here.

Fu Wei This kind of Zhong Gua that could not tell if it was an enemy or friendly army was what deserved his attention.

It was almost one in the morning when Lu Youyi and Ye Xun finally got out of their room, and the three of them left the dormitory building gingerly, heading for the studio.

The three of them didn't find anything in the studio, though, and went back to the dormitory building with nothing to show for it.

"By the way, Ye Xun," Jiang Luo asked, "what was that you said about the people in the dorm who were hostile to you?"

Ye Xun shook his head, the warm light of the street lamp reflecting in Xiao Fen's dark eyes, "His name is Zhang Feng, I've heard a lot of gossip that there was some friction between him and the trainee who died in my dorm. When I slept in the dead trainee's bed, he pushed me and said something like 'who are you to replace him', sounding like he was upset about the dead man."

Here's where the weirdness comes in.

Obviously, they didn't have a good relationship before they were born, so why were they hostile to Ye Xun, who occupied the other's position as a trainee, after they died?

And Ye Xun had a feeling.

Zhang Feng is not really upset about the old man, he is just using this method to vent his fear and anger on Ye Xun.

The first night here yielded only a few questions. After waking up the next day, Jiang Luo lazily followed the crowd, yawning as he walked unhurriedly into the recording hall and stood behind the crowd.

The crowd managed to block him, and Lu Youyi and Ye Xun stood at the end, the three of them like three salted fish, not wanting to show their faces at all.

But it didn't occur to them that there were people more salty than them.

The staff member said with a dark face, "Is Si Gui late again?"

The crowd roared with laughter, and someone said, with a note of derision, "What's he doing here if he's so unmotivated?"

"Every day he has a fierce face, mama, I'm in the same dormitory as him and I'm about to be scared to death."

"Hahaha you guys stop, Jiao Jiao is obviously so cute!"

Lu Youyi said wanly, "I also know a friend named Jiaojiao who is also particularly cute."

Jiang Luo paused and patted the arm of the person in front of him, "Dude, who is this Jiaojiao?"

The buddy in front of him stifled a laugh and said, "This Jiaojiao is one of the worst trainees we have here in terms of foundation, he can't even sing or dance, he just has a stern face. But I think he's quite funny and humorous. On the first day of the graded performance, the teacher asked him what his name was, and he said his first name was Jiaojiao, and his nickname was Dead Ghost. I don't know where the accent came from, Si Gui were called dead ghost, pfft ...... sorry sorry sorry, we all laughed at that moment, the teacher also endured a laugh and asked him why he would come to participate in the competition, do you know what he said?"

"He said he was told that being on the show would allow his friends to see him, and when his friends see him, they'll come looking for him."
