Chapter 417 Everyone Sees a Ghost A piercing, shrill scream that shattered the night sky suddenly burst from Bai Wei's throat!

"Smack!"

The roommate, terrified by the scream, suddenly turned on the dormitory lights.

The glaring lights made everyone who had just woken up instinctively squint.

"What's wrong?! What's wrong?!"

"Bai Wei, what are you yelling about! You're trying to scare me to death!"

"Was there an earthquake?!"

The female soldiers sat up one by one from their beds, their hearts pounding, staring in shock at the direction from which the screams had come.

Bai Wei seemed to have gone completely mad, rolling off the bed with her hands and feet. Because the movement was too violent, her knees hit the iron railing of the bed heavily with a dull thud, but she seemed not to feel the pain. She scrambled to the farthest corner of the dormitory.

She grabbed a pile of dirty clothes from the corner and covered her head tightly, her whole body trembling like a leaf in the autumn wind.

"Ghost... there's a ghost! Under the bed... there's a ghost under the bed!" Her trembling, indistinct voice came muffledly from the pile of sweaty, dirty clothes, filled with extreme fear.

"What the hell? What's wrong with you in the middle of the night?!"

The female soldier closest to her, named Sun Li, was the bravest. She frowned and cursed irritably. But despite her cursing, she still mustered her courage and got out of bed.

Another female soldier from the same dormitory, Zhang Xiaoyan, also came downstairs. She picked up the bamboo pole used to hold up the mosquito net by the bed and looked wary.

"Bai Wei, what did you see?" Sun Li walked to Bai Wei's bedside and cautiously peeked out, but didn't dare to actually bend down to look.

"A hand...a hand! A dead man's hand!" Bai Wei screamed from the corner. "It's Wang Xiaoya! It's Wang Xiaoya's hand! She's back! She's come back to me!"

"Wang Xiaoya?"

Upon hearing this name, everyone in the dormitory shuddered.

The oppressive atmosphere of the past few days and the image of that old crooked tree on the back hill instantly flooded my mind.

"Don't...don't scare yourself," Zhang Xiaoyan's voice trembled slightly, "you must be seeing things."

Sun Li gritted her teeth, as if to encourage herself, picked up the broom by the bed, bent down suddenly, and stabbed it hard under the bed with the broom handle!

"come out!"

The broom went in, making only a few muffled thuds as it hit the shoes, and then there was no more sound.

Sun Li mustered her courage, knelt down on one knee, and peered under the bed.

There was nothing under the bed.

Apart from a few pairs of rubber shoes neatly arranged according to the internal affairs regulations, and some accumulated dust, there was nothing else.

There wasn't even a mouse.
