Before leaving the school, Jiang Ji took a look at the signboard.

It has become 167+4 people, a loss of nearly half.

This is only the second day of freshman enrollment.

Exploring the map in A-level ghost stories is also a very tiring task.

Just as Jiang Ji looked at the dim sign at the school gate, the black numbers on it jumped unsteadily, and the number of people decreased by 1.

There were many Yinbang class students cleaning around, holding brooms and kettles, with hair mixed in the buckets at their feet. These students were being stared at by the harsh eyes of the life department teacher, and they dared not slack off at all.

Even though the green trees are the only ones growing well in the school and most of the other plants have died, there are always fallen leaves coming from nowhere.

You can’t finish sweeping it. You can’t finish sweeping it at all.

When the freshmen raised their heads, they saw the slender figure of the teacher in white clothes, which was circulated in various groups, leaving the school unimpeded.

"Why did she leave? What about the full boarding system?"

"This rule should be aimed at students, right? Look at the way the life teacher stared at her back, it was like a poisoned steel needle."

"I didn't see any other teachers leaving the school."

"Yeah... But speaking of which, a few boys were called by their homeroom teacher to move things to the teachers' dormitory. Why haven't they returned yet?"

Jiang Ji held a black umbrella, blocking out the invisible weirdness approaching in the grey fog. The only sound he could hear was the constant clanging sounds coming from the umbrella.

These weird things do not belong to any ghostland, but they are everywhere.

Those humans who were dragged into the Netherworld could only survive and escape from the ghost realm, otherwise they would only become food for these monsters if they fled rashly.

Jiang Ji was now facing the wind, with his hair flying wildly. From afar he saw a huge vehicle driving out of the damp and cold gray fog.

The car stopped in front of her.

Jiang Ji was about to get on the bus, but she felt something was wrong. She ignored the urging from the car owner and took a closer look at the front of the bus. Although this bus looked exactly like the No. 12 bus, it did not have a number plate, and she could not tell from the large front window whether there was a driver or passengers inside.

To be on the safe side, she didn't get on the bus.

There was no telling where this car would take her.

I waited patiently for several more times, refusing to take taxis without license plates and several shabby buses, before I finally got the real No. 12 bus.

The No. 12 bus still had the same batch of passengers from the morning, wandering along this route with monotonous scenery.

The wheels slipped on the flat ground, making a harsh friction sound, as if shocked that she had actually come out of Aoki High School intact.

The bus cannot refuse to carry passengers and can only stop at the school gate.

All the weird people in the car watched Jiang Ji get on the car and put away his umbrella. As the figure walked briskly, the ghost passengers in the car sat upright and the atmosphere was tense, as if they had come to an academic lecture.

"Buy tickets." The ticket seller coughed. "Ready?"

Jiang Ji readily paid for the ticket.

The atmosphere on the bus was very strange.

These strange things were visible through the mirror and dirty glass above. The strange eyeballs next to her had moved to the corners of her eyes and were staring at her nervously.

Jiang Ji was in a very good mood after work. He had no resentment about getting up early. He was full of desire to socialize, his tone was enthusiastic, and his smile was as warm as spring.

"Why are you so quiet? Is there any gossip you want to share recently?"

Chat, chat?

The passengers were just looking forward to the next stop. What was there to talk about with this woman who could come and go freely between Shinsekai Apartments and Aoki High School?

Jiang Ji sat in his seat, looking at the stiff conductor in front of him, "Auntie, don't be so cold, you must have been running this line for a long time, tell me, what's the matter with that Buddha?"

The buildings of Aoki High School are generally low, with the blessing of the ghost realm's own rules and barriers. Dark clouds cover the sky, and no Buddha statues are visible, but the cold feeling of being watched has not disappeared, and the Buddha's sight is everywhere.

The ticket seller didn't want to speak, but being stared at by the burning gaze, he could only perfunctorily say: "The Buddha statue... is hollow inside. You can buy a ticket to go in and take a look. Each floor has a different scenery."

Scenery? Jiang Ji looked at the Guanyin statue through the car window.

"This Buddha statue was built to suppress the evil spirits here, and wherever it reaches, it will bring peace and tranquility.

Since the Buddha statue was built here, the unfinished New World Apartments has been revitalized, and the resort next door no longer has accidents so often.”

Jiang Ji: "Have you met the building manager?"

The weird people in the car all shook their heads.

Most of the apartment residents are unable to leave the apartment, and the monsters that come out only move around the community and have little interaction with the passengers in the car.

Well, Jiang Ji changed the subject: "Besides me, have you met other teachers from Qingmu High School before?"

"I've seen one." The speaker was the passenger behind Jiang Ji, who had an axe stuck in the back of his head, revealing his white brain.

Jiang Ji asked casually, without much hope, but he didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise, so he quickly walked over and said, "Tell me about it."

The creature tried its best to hide behind Jiang Ji, avoiding his sight. "It's a man, wearing white clothes, with a sign that has ten hearts on it."

Ten stars?

They were not the teachers she had met. The one she had seen with the most hearts, Fujita Teru, only had six, if hearts represented seniority.

Ten hearts, could it be the missing director of the school?

"Did you see where he got off the car?"

Weird thought for a moment, "Suicide, forest."

The Suicide Forest sounds like a strange story from the Japanese island nation.

It is also a real place in reality, also known as Aokigahara Forest.

This place is also on this route, but in the first few stops, the vegetation is so lush that it blocks out the sun, like an ocean in the forest, and no sunlight can be seen.

"It kept muttering, 'Go find someone.'"

The Suicide Forest is also another suicide pilgrimage site in Fuso.

Explorers who enter the tree can always see several pairs of neatly arranged shoes under the tree, and a skeleton hanging from a tree floating in the wind.

It reminded Jiang Ji of the school emblem of Aoki High School.

There are more and more secrets.

Jiang Ji's mental strength has not recovered yet. His brain is working non-stop and he has almost not slept all night. His mental strength recovers very slowly. He cannot open the live broadcast room and cannot see what the audience are saying.

Maybe there are useful clues hidden in it.

Unfortunately, I probably won’t be able to open the live broadcast room again until tomorrow.

Apart from this passenger, other passengers were unable to provide any other useful information, but it was enough for Jiang Ji. The next stop was soon arrived, and the community supermarket was not far from the bus stop.

Jiang Ji opened the dark umbrella and waved to the weird people in the car when he got off the car. "See you tomorrow~"

The ghost passengers on the bus felt very disappointed.

When will this day end?

The umbrella is slightly tilted, blocking out some half-smiling attention.

From the outside, the community supermarket looks about the size of an ordinary gas station, but when you get closer you will find that it is terribly large inside, divided into many areas, including fresh food, cooked food, daily chemical, and clothing.

The dignified shopping guides walked freely among the shelves with smiles on their faces, selling a wide variety of goods. There were also various promotional activities written on the signs, which were dazzling to look at.

The merchandise shelves cast cold shadows like huge mountains, and people walking among them seem particularly small.

The community supermarket is the largest supermarket in the vicinity.

Ghost Bay is a large community with a famous seaside resort nearby. Residents and tourists love to come here to shop.

Illuminated by the warm overhead light of the supermarket, the cakes and breads in the bakery area are particularly appetizing, and each item is tempting customers to take it away.

There was a large notice on the door.
