"Zhou Xiaolong, it's your turn to ask!" Zhou Wei said.
Zhou Xiaolong said, "Let Yang Cheng ask first, I'll be the last one!"
I nodded, actually I didn't have any good questions to ask, so I casually asked, "Ouija, can you tell me if I will live to be a hundred?"
The pencil moved and quickly drew a checkmark on the paper.
Good, heaven has eyes, good people can indeed live to be a hundred.
I smiled and said to Zhou Xiaolong, "It's your turn, you're the last one!"
Zhou Xiaolong looked up at us, with a disdainful expression, "After finally summoning the Ouija board, what kind of stupid questions are you all asking? No sense of **, what kind of Ouija board game is this?"
Zhou Wei smirked, "Then ask a more ** question."
Zhou Xiaolong said, "Of course, my question will be **!"
Zhou Xiaolong cleared his throat, and with a serious face said, "Ouija, can you tell me when... I will die?"
Zhou Xiaolong suddenly asked this question, and our hearts couldn't help but skip a beat. This question was truly **, to actually ask the Ouija board about one's lifespan.
I don't know why, but when Zhou Xiaolong asked this question, I felt a strange feeling in my heart, and I felt somewhat uncomfortable.
The pencil paused for a moment and then slowly started moving. Soon, a horizontal line appeared on the white paper.
Zhou Xiaolong frowned, asking what was going on and why the Ouija board suddenly stopped.
Zhou Wei took a deep breath and said, "The Ouija board didn't stop, it has answered your question. It's the Chinese character '一' (meaning 'one')!"
One?!
Zhou Xiaolong looked at the "一" character on the white paper, feeling a bit confused.
Soon, Zhou Xiaolong's face changed, his expression gloomy as if water was about to drip out of it.
The answer from the Ouija board, the "一" character, what exactly did it refer to? One year? One month? Or... one day?!
We looked at the "一" character on the paper, and our backs felt cold.
I have to admit, Zhou Xiaolong's question was indeed **, but it was also quite foolish.
I don't know what kind of emotions Zhou Xiaolong was experiencing at this moment, but I guess he must regret asking this question.
Zhou Xiaolong has a strong presence, admires gangsters, and enjoys fighting. Asking this question suited his personality, but he never expected that the Ouija board would give him such an answer.
When you know that your lifespan is only one day, one month, or one year, I believe your heart would definitely be in a state of collapse.
Everyone remained silent, not knowing what to say.
Zhou Xiaolong's mood was obviously not good. He suddenly grabbed the pencil and forcefully snatched it from everyone's hands. Then, with a snap, he broke the pencil in half and angrily threw it on the paper, saying, "Damn this Ouija board game, it's all a scam!"
Zhou Xiaolong's sudden action caught us all off guard, and we looked at him in shock.
Hearing Zhou Xiaolong's cursing, Liu Jie popped his head out from under the covers, looking somewhat proud, "I told you earlier that this is a deceptive game, but you insisted on playing it, so naive!"
"** shut up!" Zhou Xiaolong was annoyed and cursed Liu Jie directly.
Liu Jie knew that Zhou Xiaolong was a troublemaker and didn't dare to provoke him. He quietly hid his head back under the covers, just like a turtle.
Zhou Wei's face changed drastically, pale and somewhat frightening. He pointed at Zhou Xiaolong, his voice trembling, "I... I repeatedly emphasized the taboo of the Ouija board game, and the last one is... you must not interrupt the conversation with the Ouija board... before ending the conversation, you must bid farewell to the Ouija board, but you just now... you actually... interrupted the conversation... and even... broke the pencil..."

Upon hearing Zhou Wei's words, we all suddenly remembered the warning Zhou Wei gave us before the game. Each of us had our faces change dramatically. Zhou Xiaolong had violated the rules of the game, breaking the taboo of the Ouija board game. Would it bring disaster upon us?
Zhou Xiaolong was already feeling uneasy, and upon hearing Zhou Wei's words, he became even more angry. He directly tore the paper into pieces and angrily said, "Damn this Ouija board, damn the taboo! So what if I broke the taboo? If you have the guts, let the Ouija board come and find me..."
Zhou Xiaolong was indeed a ruffian, once his temper flared up, he dared to ** * provoke the Ouija board.
However, Zhou Xiaolong clearly didn't know that some things should not be said casually.
Just as Zhou Xiaolong finished speaking, a gust of eerie wind suddenly blew through the dormitory for no reason. The wind was quite strange, instantly extinguishing the candle on the ground and plunging the dormitory into darkness.
The torn pieces of white paper flew around the dormitory with the cold wind, resembling the paper offerings flying in a graveyard.
We shivered suddenly, and Zhang Meng yelled in fear, scared enough to dive into his blanket.
The dormitory fell into silence, and for a long while, no one spoke.
I touched my cheek and felt goosebumps forming on my face.
After a while, the candle lit up again, casting a faint flickering light. In that light, Zhou Xiaolong's face looked pale and grim.
"It's a ghost!" Huang Kun shouted in fear.
Zhou Xiaolong kicked Huang Kun angrily, "You blind fool, what ghost? It's me!"
Huang Kun was covered in cold sweat, quickly crawling back onto his bed, "It's too damn scary, let's stop playing!"
Chen Fei Yu said, "I'm not playing anymore either!"
Me and the chubby guy also returned to our respective beds. Zhou Xiaolong pointed at us and said, "Tsk, look at you all, such ** cowards! We're men, yet we're afraid of ghosts? Hahaha! Let me tell you, I used to sleep in random graveyards to build up my courage. A simple Ouija board game can't scare me!"
Zhou Wei shook his head, his face looking unpleasant, climbing back onto his bed on his own, covering his head with the blanket, "Zhou Xiaolong, we're all roommates, but I'll still remind you, you violated the taboo of the game and offended the Ouija board. You better be careful these days, I'm afraid... something bad might happen to you!"
Zhou Xiaolong grumbled, "Are you cursing me?"
Zhou Wei lay down on the bed, covering his head with the blanket, "I'm just reminding you!"
Tonight's Ouija board game was abruptly interrupted due to Zhou Xiaolong's interference.
No one in the dormitory spoke, and the atmosphere became extremely eerie.
Zhou Xiaolong stomped out the candle and threw both the candle and the broken pencil into the trash can.
"So boring!" Zhou Xiaolong cursed under his breath, then returned to his bed and lay down.
Closing my eyes, I felt that something was strange in the dormitory. That cold feeling lingered, as if we were in an ice cellar, causing me to involuntarily wrap myself tighter in the blanket.
You see, it's currently the time when the autumn tiger is raging, and most nights we don't even need to cover ourselves with a blanket. One reason is to prepare for emergency assembly, and the other reason is that we don't really need it. Sometimes, at most, we cover our stomachs in the early morning hours. But tonight, we huddled inside our blankets, feeling cold. It was indeed strange.
