Chapter 215 Who is the Ghost
Ma Dapao asked in confusion, "What tricks are you playing? It's almost time to summon the spirits, and we have to rush to the rooftop to gather."
Lao Luo also said: "Yeah, why waste everyone's time, let's go!"
Zhou Wu looked at Jiang Ci hesitantly.
Jiang Ci directly grabbed her and Pingping.
The remaining five people didn't know what she was up to, so they had to go upstairs first.
"Xiaoci, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Wu asked in confusion.
Jiang Ci gestured for her to look down the corridor.
Zhou Wu and Ping Ping looked down, originally with confused and disdainful expressions, but when they saw five boys walking up from downstairs, they suddenly let out loud screams like pigs being slaughtered.
“Aaaaaa——”
“What the hell!”
When Ma Dapao and others saw the three of them standing at the top of the stairs, they were also confused and finally realized that something was wrong.
"That's not right. You three were clearly downstairs just now. When did you run ahead of us?" Lao Luo said in shock.
Zhou Wu's face turned pale with fear, "We didn't move..."
Pingping was about to cry, "There is a ghost, there really is a ghost!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Lei Zi glared at her. "The host hasn't found their souls yet, how could we bump into them so easily? If it were that easy, we wouldn't have to look for any relics to summon them."
"But this goes against common sense!"
"We are all here to play the game of summoning spirits, so we can't use common sense to explain things." Lei Zi tried to calm down and pointed at three people, "Ma Dapao, Liu Lei, Wang Xin, the three of you go upstairs again, and Lao Luo and I will go downstairs."
The three nodded and walked upstairs.
Lei Zi and Lao Luo walked down.
Logically speaking, there would be no intersection between their two teams.
However, reality once again refreshes their worldview.
A few seconds later, Ma Dapao and his two companions came up from downstairs, while Lei Zi and Lao Luo came down from upstairs. The two teams met again in the corridor on the fourth floor.
"Fuck it, fuck it!" The only words that came out of Wang Xin and Liu Lei's mouths were fuck.
Zhou Wu and Ping Ping were so scared that they started crying.
Lao Luo's face was solemn. "How could this happen? We were fine just now. What went wrong..."
Ma Dapao's eyes rolled around and suddenly fell on Jiang Ci, "It's her!"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Ci.
Lao Luo suddenly thought of something, "I heard from Zhou Wu that your name is Xiaoci? Is there anyone named Xiaoci in our team of eighteen people?"
Ma Dapao shook his head: "No! There is only one named Xiaoman!"
"Xiaoci, are you a ghost?" Lao Luo said.
Zhou Wu and Pingping were so scared that they screamed and ran away from Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci looked at Zhou Wu who was screaming with fear, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he really wanted to say: Zhou Wu, actually you are the ghost. You are so scared and you really embarrass us.
The five boys were alert and took a defensive stance, "Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"
Jiang Ci: “?”
"Xiao Ci...are you really a ghost? Where did you take Xiao Man? Did you eat her?" Zhou Wu hid behind the boy and trembled.
Jiang Ci said indifferently: "I'm not a ghost, I'm..."
She paused, then casually took out the badge given to her by Jun Yan and pinned it on her chest.
Lao Luo recognized the badge at a glance: "Professor badge?!"
Liu Lei and Wang Xin were stunned: "What the hell?"
Lei Zi shone the flashlight over and carefully identified it. "It really is a professor's badge! Are you a professor in the Elite Building?"
Ma Dapao half-believed and half-doubted: "She is so young, only about seventeen or eighteen years old, how could she be an elite professor? She must have been transformed by an evil spirit."
"Yes, evil spirits are ever-changing and can create any kind of illusion." Lei Zi said vigilantly: "Evil spirits, please let us go. We are holding the soul-calling ceremony for the good of you nine suicide victims. Don't you want to be saved?"
"Yes, Xiaoci, although I don't know which one of the nine suicides you are, please believe that we are here to save the souls of the dead." Zhou Wu said tremblingly.
Jiang Ci smiled contemptuously: "You are just a bunch of noobs, and you still want to save the evil spirits? You are just playing house here."
Several people were so embarrassed by her scolding that they shouted, "How do you know we can't save you?"
Jiang Ci said with a smile: "Then try to save one soul."
Lei Zi looked at everyone, and after getting everyone's permission, he solemnly took out a yellow talisman from his pocket.
"This is a salvation talisman made by the master of metaphysics. As long as it is attached to your body, all your resentment will be resolved, and you will be saved and go to where you should go."
Jiang Ci glanced at the yellow talisman in his hand and was amused. "This little yellow talisman is good for scaring ghosts."
"Do you dare to let me stick to you?" Lei Zi held up the talisman.
Jiang Ci extended his hand readily.
Lei Zi pasted it on carefully.
Everyone was looking forward to the scene of her being saved.
But Jiang Ci was intact. He even took off the yellow talisman, squeezed it, then crumpled it into a ball of waste paper and threw it to Lei Zi.
Lei Zi: “…”
"I came to the library to save you at the request of your landlord." Jiang Ci no longer concealed his identity.
"Save us?" Several people were confused. "Why save us?"
Jiang Ci: "What day is it today?"
"September 5th."
"Wrong, today is already September 12th."
"Hahahahahaha - this devil professor, even if you want to lie to me you should check the calendar." Ma Dapao laughed, "Today is only the 5th, how could it be the 12th? You mean we've only been here for a few hours and a week has already passed in the blink of an eye?"
A few people suddenly felt that this ghost was not so scary. She couldn't even tell the days apart. She might be an illiterate ghost.
"You have been trapped in the library for a week. Believe it or not." Jiang Ci said coldly: "If you want to be trapped on the fourth floor forever, follow me out. Make your choice."
The seven people looked at each other.
Zhou Wu thought for a moment and said weakly, "Xiao Ci also helped me find the diary. If she was a ghost, she could have played a trick on me."
"Zhou Wu, don't be fooled by her. Maybe Xiao Man was made missing by her." Ma Dapao said unhappily, "Ghosts are the best at playing tricks on people's hearts."
Zhou Wu: "But, besides trusting Xiaoci, do we have a better solution now?"
Everyone: “…”
It seems not.
"Xiaoci, tell me, what should we do to leave the fourth floor?" Zhou Wu asked.
The others looked at Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci pondered for a few seconds and analyzed: "The weirdness happened after Lao Luo and the others showed up."
As soon as these words were spoken, Lao Luo and others became unhappy.
"What do you mean? Are you implying that there is something fishy going on among the four of us?"
"I found Zhou Wu in the East Branch, and then I went to the rooftop with Zhou Wu. There was no one on the rooftop, so we went down to the second floor of the South Branch and found Lei Zi and Ma Dapao. After that, the four of us went to the third floor."
Ma Dapao and Lei Zi nodded, "That's right."
"Here comes the point. Recall where Lao Luo and the others appeared from."
