Chapter 405: Night Visit to the Haunted School
Upon hearing that Jiang Xu was coming, school leader Xu Jianwen specially met him at the door.
"Master Jiang, hello, hello! Your presence truly brings honor to our school..."
Xu Jianwen was smiling and was about to say something flattering, but he saw Jiang Xu walking straight past him without even a glance.
Xu Jianwen stood there awkwardly.
"As expected of a master, he really has personality."
Looking at the pitch-black campus, he hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and followed.
Not long after I walked in, a cold wind suddenly blew from behind, rustling the leaves and filling the air with an uncomfortable and gloomy atmosphere.
"Master Jiang, do you feel... a little cold?" Xu Jianwen asked, rubbing his arms.
"It's okay." Jiang Xu said without turning his head. "It's like this everywhere there are ghosts. You just get used to it."
Xu Jianwen staggered suddenly and almost sprained his ankle.
"Master, this... is there really a ghost here?" His face was full of fear and the flesh on his face was shaking.
Seeing him so cowardly, Jiang Yue instantly felt that he was much stronger.
"Don't worry, my sister is here. Who would dare to be mean to you? Unless... you did something yourself?"
"No, no, no! How could I dare! If I really did something, how could I dare to appear in front of Master Jiang?" Xu Jianwen waved his hands repeatedly.
This too.
Jiang Yue nodded in agreement.
Pei Yiyi spoke up, wanting to know more about the female student.
After all, in her experience, no haunting happened without a reason.
Those who are still alive after death are not "classmates" without stories.
Jiang Yue: "Those classmates said they saw her shadow. Where was it?"
Xu Jianwen shuddered: "Everywhere... everywhere."
Everyone:……
"So, was there anything unusual about her before the accident?"
"Liu Nian? Nothing unusual. This kid is very good, always taking first place in every assessment, and training very hard. He was originally a promising talent that the school focused on cultivating. Alas, I didn't expect such an accident to happen. What a pity..."
"Who could have imagined such an accident would happen... How she ended up in that place is still a mystery to me."
Speaking of Liu Nian's strange death, Xu Jianwen couldn't help but shudder, and goose bumps appeared on his arms.
"Don't say that kind of thing casually." Jiang Yue suddenly lowered his voice, "Ghosts will take it seriously."
Upon hearing this, Xu Jianwen trembled even more violently.
"By the way, speaking of unusual things..." He suddenly remembered something and added hesitantly,
"I don't know if it counts. A few days before Liu Nian's accident, she said she wasn't feeling well, so her roommate asked for two days off. The teacher saw that she didn't look well, so he took her to the infirmary, but they couldn't find anything wrong. They just said she was under too much pressure and told her to rest more."
Jiang Yue's eyes lit up.
This is a new clue.
As he was speaking, a middle-aged woman ran out in a panic. Seeing Xu Jianwen, she grabbed at his lifeline like a straw: "Director Xu! This is bad! The girls in Liu Nian's dormitory are all gone!"
"What?!" Xu Jianwen's face suddenly changed.
“Ahhhh!”
Suddenly, a shrill scream was heard.
Xu Jianwen looked in the direction of the voice and his face turned pale.
This... seems to be coming from the direction of the abandoned old teaching building.
"It's them! It must be them!" The female teacher covered her mouth in horror.
Xu Jianwen: "Master Jiang!"
Jiang Xu had already turned around and walked over.
Jiang Yue and Pei Yiyi exchanged a glance and immediately followed. Xu Jianwen stood there trembling like a sieve, looking around, but finally he gritted his teeth and chased after them.
…
In front of the abandoned teaching building.
Huang Xiaoyu frowned: "Shut up, what if the teacher is called?"
Zhou Man clutched the corner of his clothes tightly: "But, but I seemed to hear someone calling my name behind me just now..."
"Don't look back! And don't agree!" Jiang Meng's face suddenly changed, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. "The old people in my village said that when you are alone at night, if someone calls your name, don't look back!"
"Because—nine times out of ten, the person calling you isn't a human!"
People have three fires: one on the top of their heads and two on their shoulders. These three fires seal the human soul. If they turn around, the fires will go out and their soul will be taken away...
"Does that mean..." Zhou Man's voice trembled, "that we are being targeted by ghosts?"
"Is it Liu Nian?!" Jiang Meng blurted out.
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the three of them turned pale instantly.
"Don't worry about it!" Huang Xiaoyu forced herself to remain calm. "Hurry up and burn these things and go back to the dormitory!"
Several people hurriedly took out the things in their backpacks, but the match couldn't be lit no matter how hard they tried.
As soon as a spark appeared, it was blown out by a gust of cold wind.
"Huang Xiaoyu, what, what happened..." Zhou Man shuddered violently.
"whee……"
Suddenly, a strange laugh sounded behind me.
The three of them were stiff and hugged each other tightly, their backs were wet, and they didn't dare to move.
"Did you think you couldn't see me if you didn't look back?"
A pale, skinny arm suddenly emerged from the crack in the floor and grabbed Zhou Man's ankle tightly.
She subconsciously lowered her head and struggled, and then faced Liu Nian's pale face.
The scarlet eyes stared at them.
"Ahhhh——" the three of them screamed in despair at the same time.
Liu Nian's resentful face slowly floated up, "Did you think that burning the things would be enough? You guys killed me!"
"You will pay for your blood debt with blood!"
The black hair danced wildly in the wind, suddenly growing thicker and quickly wrapping around their necks.
The three of them widened their eyes in horror, then felt suffocated and their eyes rolled back.
It's over.
Are you going to die?
Died at Liu Nian's hands?
The three of them had faces filled with despair and pain.
Just when everyone was about to suffocate, the force around their necks suddenly loosened.
There was a crackling sound, Liu Nian let out a shrill scream, and a burst of black smoke came out of his body.
She stared in horror at Jiang Xu who suddenly appeared, her figure twisted violently, and she turned around to run away.
Jiang Xu flipped his finger, and a golden light broke through the air, directly suppressing the female ghost to the ground.
"Ahhh! You stinky Taoist priest, why do you meddle in other people's business!" Liu Nian struggled in pain, cursing with a ferocious face.
Jiang Xu: ...
Why does every ghost say this line when being caught? As a Taoist priest, isn't it natural for her to catch ghosts?
Liu Nian was still screaming unwillingly, Jiang Xu raised his hand and made a gesture to silence him.
The world suddenly became quiet.
"It's too noisy." She rubbed her ears.
Everyone:……
After capturing the ghost, Xu Jianwen finally recovered and walked up to Zhou Man and the other two, saying in a cold voice:
"You know you're scared, but you still come out so late. What did I tell you? If Master Jiang hadn't been here today, you could all go see your roommates..."
The teacher has a natural deterrent effect on students. The three of them trembled and subconsciously hid the backpacks in their arms behind their backs.
Everyone: ...So when they were doing something behind the teacher's back, their guilty consciences were so obvious?
This act of trying to cover up the truth instantly drew everyone's attention to their backpacks.
"What is that?" Xu Jianwen narrowed his eyes.
The three girls shuddered suddenly.
With a "click", Huang Xiaoyu's backpack fell to the ground.
Everyone looked down, and their pupils suddenly shrank.
Everyone had actually prepared themselves mentally, guessing that they would sneak out and must be carrying something strange.
But I didn't expect that thing to be...
A tablet.
What’s even more creepy is that the photos and names above are all Huang Xiaoyu’s own.
