"How could this happen? How can we not get out? We were perfectly fine when we came in..."

Chu Yuying stubbornly placed both hands on the door, using all her strength, but the door remained unmoved, as if someone had welded it shut.

"That shouldn't be the case. This door should be easy to push open. I remember it opened with just one push when I came in... How come it won't open? Did someone lock the door? Was it Wang Han or the others?"

Chu Yuying was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes. She could feel that as she pushed the door harder and made more noise, something that had gradually disappeared from her subconscious seemed to have returned, and it was right beside her.

If we don't get out now, we might never have a chance to go back.

A strange thought popped into Chu Yuying's mind, making her eyes even hotter.

Because she couldn't see, she was even more terrified, especially someone like her who had some understanding of the supernatural but only a superficial one. In the dark and cramped environment, her imagination grew wildly like weeds, gradually reaching a point where even Chu Yuying herself couldn't control it.

The fear in her heart surged again, permeating her entire body. Even Chu Yuying herself was surprised that her body was trembling uncontrollably. If the light were bright enough, one could even see drops of glistening liquid sliding down her stockings, occasionally bringing Chu Yuying a little warmth.

"I can't push it away... I just can't push it away no matter what I do..."

Chu Yuying was in despair. The surrounding darkness seemed to solidify, covering her mouth and nose, making it impossible for her to even breathe.

"Waaah..."

An uncontrollable sob escaped Chu Yuying's lips. She wanted to cry, but she was worried that if she cried too loudly, it would attract those things. Under her suppression, her sobs were like those of a kitten.

"I will never pretend to be a psychic again, never again..."

Chu Yuying murmured in despair, her hands weakly pounding on the door; she had lost all hope.

I am afraid……

It's really like that upperclassman in the ghost story, completely trapped here and dying, with no one even noticing her body until it's completely cold.

Surely Wang Han and the others won't think they've been trapped here to death if they don't see them tomorrow?

They believed in their status as the ultimate psychic and would think they were dealing with paranormal issues elsewhere, never imagining they were trapped and dying in the school building.

How long will it take before my body is discovered?

Will I become the second campus ghost story at Weiyang No.1 Middle School?

Chu Yuying gave a bitter smile.

"Really? You'll never pretend to be a psychic again?"

Suddenly, just as Chu Yuying slumped to the ground, her eyes vacant and filled with despair, a voice, like a bolt from the blue, boomed in her ears.

In an instant, fear surged through Chu Yuying's heart. She didn't even realize what the other person had said; only one thought filled her mind:

She was caught by the supernatural being hiding here!

"ah!!!"

A scream, indistinguishable from a human voice, pierced the night sky.

—Even the security room alarms, and the sirens of electric bikes and cars parked downstairs by faculty and staff on campus, were all awakened. The originally quiet campus was instantly filled with all kinds of sounds, and it was quite lively for a while.

"No, no, no... don't kill me!"

"Didn't you hear my prayer? I really won't do this again, I swear, I swear a solemn oath!"

"Please, please let me go...please let me go! Waaaaaah..."

Chu Yuying covered her ears with her hands and lay on the ground, trying her best to curl up into a ball. However, her mind was blank, and she writhed on the ground for a long time, turning her body into a maggot, but she still couldn't curl up into a ball.

Tears and snot streamed down her face. Chu Yuying didn't even dare to lift her head. More and more water droplets overflowed from the hem of her skirt, gradually forming a small stream that flowed down her stockings.

"...Pfft."

Xia Che, who had been watching the whole thing from the shadows, finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

Although he had read the original novel and knew that Chu Yuying's character was a coward, he never expected her to be this cowardly.

His plan to scare her had only just begun, with many more steps to come, and yet... he'd already peed himself?

If this continues, this little girl might really die...

That's right.

After escaping the abandoned construction site, Xia Che hurriedly bought everything he needed at the supermarket and arrived at the abandoned building before Chu Yuying and the others.

He knew that the mannequins Chu Yuying had prepared used good blood from the film crew, so he simply got a few bottles of ketchup and smeared it all over them.

The sound of wind that Chu Yuying heard was from a small electric fan that Xia Che bought. It could be used by simply plugging in a power bank, consumed little power, and had a strong airflow. It was incredibly useful.

As for the supernatural presence that Chu Yuying sensed approaching her, it was actually Xia Che, who was wearing silent slippers, deliberately walking around in front of her. If it weren't for the dim lighting, Chu Yuying probably would have noticed it much earlier.

"Oh dear... I went to all this trouble just to scare Chu Yuying, isn't that a bit too much?"

Xia Che finished laughing and slowly stopped. Looking at Chu Yuying, who was lying on the ground, frightened like a startled rabbit, a pang of pity rose in his heart for the first time.

But he quickly shook his head and put that reluctance behind him.

"No, no, no... we can't be soft on her. This little girl is a real devil. She won't be convinced unless we make her completely obedient."

Chu Yuying is one of the five female protagonists, and she is the junior student who is one year younger than Xia Che.

In the original story, she would come to this abandoned building today and be tricked by Li Junyang.

The nearby abandoned old school campus has been taken over by Li Junyang's family business.

Li Junyang, the eldest son of the Li family, came to the building to inspect the specific situation in place of his father, so that construction could begin in the future. He unexpectedly bumped into Chu Yuying, who was pretending to be a ghost in the building. He then played a trick on her, which started the romance between the two.

Li Junyang, a scoundrel to the core, didn't take their first encounter to heart. But Chu Yuying was different. She fell in love with Li Junyang from that moment on. In the later plot, in order to help Li Junyang achieve his dream, she, who was clearly a sissy, even went so far as to sacrifice herself for the villain, poisoning Xia Che to the point of being crooked in the mouth and eyes.

Of course, in the original novel, Li Junyang was very measured and only scared her a little, unlike Xia Che who went so far as to torture Chu Yuying to death.

Xia Che had his own considerations. If he followed Li Junyang's approach and showed some restraint...

What if Chu Yuying develops feelings for me, just like in the original story?

He only wanted to sabotage Li Junyang's romantic relationship to prevent the female lead from falling for this scumbag's tricks; he didn't want to be a necromancer.

so--

To prevent Chu Yuying from falling in love with him, Xia Che secretly added something extra.

Um……

I only added a tiny bit.

It only scared Chu Yuying so much that she peed her pants.

It's not a big deal, is it?
