Chapter 757 Abandoned Factory
As night falls, the hustle and bustle of the city gradually subsides.
Chen Yile lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
The strange glow of the jade pendant and the pain in his arm kept lingering in his mind.
He tried to convince himself that it was just a psychological effect, but the strange feeling became stronger and stronger.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew in from the window.
Chen Yile sat up suddenly and looked out the window.
In the darkness of the night, he saw a dark shadow flash past the window.
He stood up subconsciously, walked to the window and opened the curtains.
It was pitch black outside the window, nothing was there.
"Am I blind?"
However, just as he was about to turn around and leave, a biting chill suddenly hit him from behind.
He turned around suddenly, but saw nothing.
The next day after school, Chen Yile decided not to run away from his anxiety anymore.
He decided to investigate the factory mentioned by the mysterious old man.
Although he was not familiar with the city's terrain, he still walked towards the remote alley based on the direction he remembered.
As the sun set, Chen Yile finally found the abandoned factory.
The factory gates were closed, weeds were overgrown around it, and a pungent smell filled the air.
He stood at the factory gate and looked up at the rusty sign: "XX Machinery Factory".
At this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew out from inside the factory.
There was a strange smell in the wind, which made him feel a chill rising up his spine.
Chen Yile pushed open the door of the factory, and the door creaked, as if telling of its vicissitudes.
He walked in and the sight before him made him gasp.
The inside of the factory was dark, with only a faint sunlight filtering in through the broken glass windows.
The machinery and equipment were already rusted, spider webs hung in every corner, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of chemicals.
"This place is really spooky," he thought to himself.
He walked forward cautiously, and the ground under his feet made a creaking sound.
Suddenly, he found an iron door leading to the basement with a rusty lock on it.
"What is this place?" He took a closer look, but couldn't make out anything special.
Chen Yile decided to investigate further. He pushed the iron door open with force, and a strong musty smell hit him in the face.
The basement was filled with various discarded items, including broken wooden boxes, rusty tools, and some old books.
"These things look like they were left behind a long time ago."
Just then, his hand accidentally touched an old book.
The pages of the book have turned yellow and are damaged, but the words on the cover are still faintly visible, with the words "Secret Book of Gu Shu" written on it.
"Gu magic?" Chen Yile felt strange.
He carefully turned the pages of the book, and a pungent smell hit him in the face.
The pages were covered with all sorts of strange symbols and patterns, as well as some words written in ancient scripts.
"What on earth are these?" Chen Yile was a little confused.
At this moment, the power in the basement suddenly went out, darkness instantly enveloped the entire space, and Chen Yile's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
"Oh no!" He subconsciously reached into his pocket, trying to take out his cell phone to light up.
However, his hand touched something cold, wet, and a little sticky.
Chen Yile pulled his hand back abruptly, only to find that he had touched a book.
His palms were already soaked with cold sweat.
"Calm down!" He forced himself to take a deep breath. "It was just an accident."
However, just as he was about to turn on the light on his phone, he suddenly heard footsteps in the basement. The footsteps were light, but clearly audible.
"Who's there?" he shouted.
No one responded.
Chen Yile's heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and he felt his palms were completely soaked with cold sweat. He tried to turn around and leave, but found that his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew from behind. Chen Yile turned around suddenly, but saw nothing.
However, he felt a sharp pain in his arm.
He looked down at his arm and found that the jade pendant had fallen out of his pocket and was lying on the ground, emitting a faint light.
"This is..." he muttered to himself.
The symbols on the jade pendant seemed to tremble slightly, emitting a strange energy. Chen Yile felt a chill running down his spine, and he subconsciously wanted to escape the basement. However, the pain in his arm became increasingly intense.
He felt dizzy and the scene before his eyes began to blur.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back at the factory gate. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his face, but he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
"What on earth just happened?" he wondered curiously.
He didn't dare to stay here any longer and left quickly.
After returning home, Chen Yile tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
The strange glow of the jade pendant and the weird experience in the basement kept lingering in his mind.
He tried to convince himself that it was just a psychological effect, but the strange feeling became stronger and stronger.
At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang. He took out his phone and saw that it was a text message from an unfamiliar number: "Don't check it anymore, you are in danger."
Chen Yile didn't know who sent this text message, but he clearly felt that he had been involved in an unknown conspiracy.
The next day after school, Chen Yile suddenly felt the jade pendant in his pocket getting hot.
The rune engraved on the front of the jade pendant was emitting a faint red light, like a living creature slowly wriggling on the surface of the jade.
He subconsciously wanted to put the jade pendant back into his pocket, but found a sharp pain in his arm.
Looking up, I saw a dark red line spreading upwards from my wrist, as if something was moving under my skin.
The shape of the pattern was exactly the same as the rune on the jade pendant, as if an invisible force was trying to connect the two together.
He stood up suddenly, and the chair made a sharp scraping sound on the ground. He was the only one left in the classroom, and the other students had already left school and gone home.
The red light on the jade pendant became brighter and brighter, and the runes on the arm became clearer and clearer.
Chen Yile felt his heart beating so fast that it almost burst out of his chest, and fine beads of cold sweat oozed out of his forehead.
He could clearly feel that the force was trying to control his body.
Just then, my phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from Teacher Li: "Meet me tonight at 10 o'clock in the old reading room on the third floor of the library."
Chen Yile stared at his phone screen for a long time, feeling a shadow of uncertainty looming over Teacher Li. But at this moment, faced with these bizarre symptoms, he seemed to have no choice.
The lights in the old reading room were dim and dark, casting long shadows between the tall bookshelves.
Teacher Li was sitting by the window, and the moonlight outside the window dyed her profile pale.
