Chapter 1530 – Remnant Soul of Youth
Jiang Zhihua’s gaze swept over Lin Qiye and An Qingyu, seemingly judging whether they were trustworthy or not, perhaps because of their status as students of Shangjing University, Jiang Zhihua hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking:
”About six years ago, I was also a student at Shangjing University, and that day, I happened to walk into classroom 609 of the Fifth Teaching in order to catch up on a report, and then I continued to review until after two in the morning with the emergency lighting on, and at that time, I was feeling a bit sleepy ……”
”Wait!” Lin Qiye called Jiang Zhihua to a halt in time, speaking with an odd expression, “You felt a little sleepy, then went to sleep, and when you woke up from your sleep, you saw that you were surrounded by students dressed in Zhongshan suits, studying with textbooks from decades ago?”
”You heard that?”
”That girl from the legend is you?” Lin Qiye asked in confusion, “But didn’t you jump off a building and kill yourself?”
”After that incident, due to emotional problems, I did have thought about it, and I did jump …… but I didn’t succeed.” Jiang Zhihua looked up at the roof of the Fifth Church, her expression somewhat complicated.
”I had just jumped off the rooftop, and when I landed outside the window of that classroom on the sixth floor, the curtains on the inside of the window suddenly flew up and wrapped around me, hanging me against the wall.
At that time I was scared, muddled and climbed in along the window sill …… The classroom was empty, no one, only the whimpering sound of the breeze through the hall.
Later I realized that it was they who didn’t want me to die ……”
”They?”
”It was probably in the 1970s and 1980s, when this building was first built, Shangjing University was already a famous school in Daxia, not many people could enter here to attend school in that era, and those who studied here were all carrying lofty ideals and ambitions.
But it is also because of the too high expectations, resulting in some students have very high pressure, after experiencing some things, and finally chose to jump off the building to kill themselves …… Their bodies, all more or less with grievances, when buried in this downstairs life more, the magnetic field here has changed a little bit, and their residual souls did not enter the reincarnation, but as a wandering souls constantly wandering around here.
Of course, this kind of wandering souls, ordinary human beings are very difficult to detect …… unless at a specific point in time, such as late at night, that is, when the yin qi is the heaviest.
After that failed jump, I was terrified, and I knew very well that there was something in this classroom, so I immediately applied for a withdrawal and stayed away from Shangjing …… As for me jumping to my death, it was purely a rumor that was caught by the students later on.”
Jiang Zhihua paused, helplessly continued, “Later I realized that I don’t know when I awakened this ability to see residual souls and even communicate with them, at first I thought I was being haunted by the ghosts in this classroom, and kept going to Buddhist temples and Taoist temples to exorcise the evil spirits, but none of them had any effect.
With the passage of time, I slowly got used to it, and could even actively drive them to do something, or enclose them in a certain area.
Later I thought back to this classroom, after carefully recalling, I found that the residual souls in this classroom, although scary, never hurt me, they seem to be just silently looking at their books, and even made a move to save me when I was lightly ……
Thinking of this, I have been unable to sleep, I close my eyes, is that night, they sat beside me seriously picking the light of the night to read the picture, and finally I made up my mind to come back and become the administrator here.
After communicating with them I realized that they really do not have any malicious intent, they are just a group of simple students, because of various reasons in the light here, learning, family, love, pressure …… they are depressed in the heart of a breath, do not want to leave, they have been staying in this classroom.
Later, after I mixed well with them, I came here late at night every day to give them a lecture, in addition to some textbook knowledge, more about the modern world outside.”
Jiang Zhihua opened the tattered convenience bag in her hand, and in addition to a few boxes of scattered chalk, there were several encyclopedias, as well as some modern literature.
”They are here all year round, and can only move around late at night, and their impression of the outside world is still stuck in the last century, so I show them some photographs, and some of the latest books, so that they can look at the skyscrapers outside, learn about the advances in science, and tell them about the changes of the times ……
Slowly, they were filled with a keen interest in the outside world, and even though I’ve been warming them up with my abilities for so many years, and their souls can barely leave this school building, I was worried that if they went out they’d cause trouble in the school, so I’ve been using a boundary to keep them here, and only let them out to move around when it’s late at night.”
After listening to Jiang Zhihua’s description, An Qingyu had basically clarified the situation.
”So, just now, that gaze from Seven Nights broke through your boundary, and they all ran out?”
”They are all very understanding children, under normal circumstances they wouldn’t run around …… but your aura is too terrifying, they were all scared and panicked.” Jiang Zhihua sighed.
Seeing Jiang Zhihua’s grumbling gaze, Lin Qiye was also a bit helpless, he didn’t know the identity of those ghosts, besides, he just glared and that boundary opened up …… Where can this be justified?
”Will they leave this school?”
”Reasonably speaking they won’t, after all, they are relying on the magnetic field within this building to exist, although they have been warmed up by me for a few years, they are still remnant souls, if they leave this building too far away, they will simply dissipate.”
Lin Qiye nodded thoughtfully, “Do they possess danger?”
”Shouldn’t possess, they don’t have aggressiveness themselves, the only thing they can do is to possess living people …… but they know how to behave, even if they possess, they won’t do anything out of the ordinary.”
Fortunately, it won’t cause mass casualties …… Lin Qiye secretly thought.
”How many are there in total?”
”Fourteen, but some of them are very afraid of life and should come back soon, but there are a few that are more daring and very curious about the outside world, so they probably won’t come back easily ……”
”Just take those residual souls that don’t want to go back and bring them back to that classroom, right?” Lin Qiye nodded, “I know, I’ll handle this matter.”
Lin Qiye exchanged phone calls with Jiang Zhihua and then left the place with An Qingyu Jiang’er.
”I can’t imagine that in this Shangjing University, there’s still a group of remnants of upwardly mobile youths from the last century, and a teacher who can communicate with the remnants …… It’s quite interesting.” An Qingyu turned her head to look at Lin Qiye, “What are you going to do about this?”
”The residual souls don’t have entities, my spiritual power can’t perceive them, so if I want to find them, I can only carpet search this campus ……”
”Relying on just a few of us, can we search everywhere?”
”Who said to rely on us? We have classes to attend, how would we have the time.” The corner of Lin Qiye’s mouth rose slightly, “It’s better to let the young people take this rare opportunity …….”
