Chapter 27: Ghost Story Middle School 9
If Huangmao were here, he would probably have a lot in common with Tang Xiaoxiao. After all, they both share the same fear of dogs.
Perhaps the fear was deep in her bones. When Tang Xiaoxiao felt that the atmosphere was not right, she subconsciously grabbed the door handle of the room. If she was not afraid that the noise would be heard, she would have wanted to lock the door again!
In front of the cat's eye.
The sleepwalking woman had already put her head close to the door of the room where Tang Xiaoxiao was. Her face was pale. It would be very scary to see such a woman facing you through the peephole in the middle of the night. Not to mention that the other person might not be a human, but more likely a ghost.
But Tang Xiaoxiao was not afraid of this. Her eyes were fixed on the back of the female ghost. A black shadow was spreading and approaching here.
It was like some huge monster was poking its head closer and closer.
No way, no way, it won’t be that bad…
Tang Xiaoxiao gradually held her breath, and the next moment, a huge, hairless dog head made of scattered body parts was stuck into the space in the corridor.
No one knew how it got in. Its blood-red eyes, which seemed to be open in death, stared at the only living creature in the corridor with some kind of hatred.
It's the sleepwalking woman.
The dog's face made of body parts bared its teeth as it approached, as if waiting for something behind the woman.
But the sleepwalker was unaware of it. The woman in the white dress slowly turned around, and when she found that she couldn't open the door, she walked towards the next destination. Even when she turned around and faced the dog, she still didn't react.
Tang Xiaoxiao's breathing almost stopped. She almost thought it was herself standing outside the door. She dared not move at all, for fear of being noticed by the other party.
She had never seen such a big dog before. Even if she used her skills, the most she could do was to slow down the speed at which the dog ate her.
But why doesn't it attack the people outside? What is it waiting for?
Tang Xiaoxiao didn't dare to move, but the sleepwalker outside was walking around casually. The huge dog filled up one side of the corridor, and the woman started to change direction after finding that she couldn't walk through this side, like a dull puppet spinning in place.
Gradually, vague sounds of people talking were heard in the corridor.
Tang Xiaoxiao didn't hear it clearly at first, but later found out that it was a person's name.
"Wang Simiao..."
"Wang Simiao, where have you been hiding?"
The woman pushed the door faster and faster. She scratched her palms as if she was taking something out. At this moment, Tang Xiaoxiao discovered that the giant dog's expression became extremely angry.
"Don't be afraid, you won't disappear. You can make a wish. All you need is a wish coin, and it will make your wish come true..."
The woman couldn't even finish her words before she was bitten to pieces by a bloody mouth that suddenly opened. The giant dog tore at the broken body and shook its head continuously.
It seems that it is not killing, but venting.
Blood rain was flying all over the sky. Tang Xiaoxiao, with a cold body, watched the hellish scene in the corridor through the cat's eye, but what was even more terrifying was yet to come.
The ball of flesh and blood that was bitten by the dog soon flowed out of the dog's mouth again as if time was going backwards, then shrank back into a ball little by little, and condensed into the woman in the white dress.
She continued to repeat what she had just done as if she felt nothing.
"Wang Simiao...where are you?"
The woman murmured as she continued to push doors one by one from the other side of the corridor.
Tang Xiaoxiao originally thought that the dog would continue to chase the woman, and she was ready to send a text message to Sister Qiao Song, but she found that the dog's nose sniffed the air gently, then turned its head little by little and looked towards the room where she was.
Tang Xiaoxiao:!!!
Qiao Song, who was far away at the landfill processing center, had just taken a few steps forward when she felt the cell phone in her pocket vibrate. She opened it and saw that it was a text message from Tang Xiaoxiao.
The first one is relatively normal in reporting the situation in a timely manner.
A Little Candy: Sister Qiao Song, a dog appeared in the staff dormitory. There was also a woman in a white dress sleepwalking outside. She kept calling a name called Wang Simiao, and the dog seemed hostile to her.
Then the second message came soon after.
Little Candy: Help! I was taken away by a dog! I am doomed. Is it going to eat me? I just saw it bite that woman to pieces, but now it is holding me but not biting me. What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? ! !
There was a big hole in a room on the top floor of the staff dormitory. Tang Xiaoxiao only had time to wrap herself with a huge math book. She wanted to use it as a defense to avoid dying so tragically, but who knew that the giant dog would take Tang Xiaoxiao away with the book.
She could only be stuck in the book like this, and the dog's mouth was so smelly, with all kinds of sour and foul odors of corruption gathered together. Even with a book in between, she felt like she was going to vomit when she covered her face while being stuck in it.
She didn't dare make too much noise, for fear that the dog would notice that there was a living creature in the book, so she had to desperately send text messages for help.
Qiao Song frowned and comforted Tang Xiaoxiao after reading the message, telling her to be cautious and that the dog would not hurt her.
Joe: Remember to hide the substitute doll
In this way, even if the dog really wanted to harm her, at least it could help her save her life and escape. Since the dog only took Tang Xiaoxiao away, it meant that it was taking her somewhere. Judging from the dog's sense of smell, it was impossible for it not to know that there was a person stuck in the book.
After replying the message, Qiao Song looked up at the garbage disposal center and his expression became a little solemn.
She smelled a very familiar odor, not the stench of rotting garbage mixed together, but the fishy smell of water and earth that she smelled in the public bathroom at the end of the corridor of her former girls' dormitory.
Why does the garbage disposal center have this smell?
She held the hammer and walked carefully inside.
Outside the spacious garbage disposal center are two clean large cement pits with no garbage in them. I don’t know if they were cleaned during the day or if they are rarely used.
The two rolling shutter doors were pulled to half their height, revealing half of the back of the garbage truck. The truck bed was very clean and well sealed, and it was impossible to tell whether it was loaded with garbage or something else.
Qiao Song had only taken two steps when he heard a familiar voice.
"Zizizi - this is the nightly news report. The number of missing persons in our area has hit a new high recently, and there is still no news of any missing members being found."
"It is understood that up to now, the families of the students who disappeared at the beginning have not given up the search..."
Isn't this the radio used by the old man she met in the political education building on her first day at Ghost Story Middle School? How did it end up in the garbage dump?
The small door of the garbage disposal center was not locked. Qiao Song gently pushed the door open and saw an old lady wearing reading glasses. She slowly turned her head and looked up at him.
The old man had a kind expression on his face: "Child, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
Qiao Song quickly looked at the man, and it didn't seem like he was pretending: "Why are you here? Aren't you the dormitory manager?"
This old lady was actually the one who had been on duty in the staff dormitory. Huangmao had complained at the time that the old lady had something to do and did not stay in the dormitory. The following night, the old lady was also on duty in the student dormitory building, but she slipped away before the head count.
This old lady has been elusive all the time, why is she here at the garbage management center again?
"The school has so few faculty and staff, and we old men and women have to go out to work, so we have to take care of more things."
Seeing Qiao Song's eyes turned to the radio next to him again, the old lady laughed dryly.
"Hey, I borrowed this from Old Man Wang. He usually doesn't need this thing at night, so I use it to listen to the news or something. Otherwise, it would be boring to work the night shift, right?"
When you are bored, shouldn’t you listen to some opera stories? Why listen to the news?
Qiao Song nodded in agreement: "So that's how it is. Our intern teacher has just arrived at the campus not long ago and is busy with classes during the day, so we came out for a walk at night to get familiar with the place."
At this point, Qiao Song suddenly showed a worried expression: "For some reason, more and more students disappeared around the exam week. These two days, we counted the number of students before class and before the dormitory closed at night, and the number we got was particularly disturbing.
You know, my younger brother and sister all go to school here, and I'm really worried now."
When she heard the first half of the sentence, the old lady didn't react. When she heard the second half that her younger brothers and sisters were all going to school here, the old lady slowly opened her closed eyelids and looked sideways at Qiao Song again.
Since Qiao Song had a clue, he continued, "My sister is in her third year of high school now. She studies hard and has good grades, but her classmates and teachers are a little strange. She has become less talkative recently and doesn't know how to handle interpersonal relationships in the class. I was thinking of finding an opportunity to talk to her about this topic, but she didn't bring it up because she had an exam recently."
"My brother's situation is even more strange. I teach junior high school physical education, and I haven't had the chance to visit him in his class these past two days. I haven't seen him in his class's team several times during large classes."
Qiao Song asked her sincerely, "I'm just an intern teacher who has been here for a few days. You've been here longer than me and should be very experienced in dealing with student-related issues. Do you have any suggestions?"
The old lady looked at the radio which was still working and suddenly asked, "You helped Wang Deming fix his radio, didn't you?"
Qiao Song paused, then nodded.
"Since you and your brothers and sisters depend on each other for survival, take good care of them."
After saying this, she didn't care whether Qiao Song had any other performances to perform and just drove him out of the garbage station.
"Don't hang around in the school at night. I know you're a brave girl, but don't go to the back hill. It's too dangerous there. There are many things that eat people in the school, but the most vicious one is hiding there."
The rolling shutter door slowly descended, covering the tires of the garbage truck bit by bit. The old lady stood in front of the door. Before the door curtain was completely lowered, Qiao Song asked one last question.
"Do you know who Wang Simiao is?"
There was no sound behind the door. Just when Qiao Song thought the old lady had left, she heard a hoarse and complicated sentence: "I, I don't remember..."
When Qiao Song left the garbage disposal center, he had basically concluded that Wang Simiao should be a key figure.
Students who become transparent will gradually disappear and be forgotten.
The missing Wang Simiao… Wang Demin, who likes to listen to news about missing people on the radio… The big dog that went crazy when he heard someone asked Wang Simiao to make a wish…
Is there any connection between these?
Qiao Song recalled the text message she had just received and immediately walked towards the staff dormitory. When she arrived, she looked up and saw that the 6th floor looked like a matchbox with a hole in it, revealing an empty hole.
I'm afraid that Tang Xiaoxiao was abducted by that dog from here.
Qiao Song did not track her down immediately, but returned to the dormitory first and began to look for the so-called woman in white floor by floor.
The sleepwalking woman was gone, and after searching in vain, she decisively called the security room.
"Hello, security office? There's a dog in the dormitory building."
There was a whirring sound from the other end of the phone. No one spoke, but someone knocked on the table to indicate that he understood.
Not long after, a figure with a flashlight appeared downstairs in the staff building.
The fat security guard in uniform did not take any dog-catching tools, but only a large black flashlight and walked into the staff building.
He looked around and saw Qiao Song. He suddenly made a few "ah" sounds and pointed towards the corridor, then wrote in confusion on the notepad at the front desk: Where is the dog?
Qiao Song made an expression of surviving a disaster and asked him anxiously: "The dog escaped, but it seems that he also took my sister away. What should I do now?"
The fat security guard frowned and subconsciously glanced at the clock. It was now 12 o'clock in the morning.
He continued to write in his notebook very seriously: I'll go look for it in the back mountain, don't run around.
Finally, seeing Qiao Song was about to catch up, he gently pushed him.
He gestured with his hands, then quickly returned to the front desk in frustration and continued writing a sentence.
[There is more than one dog in the school. Don't go out. Wait here until dawn. The dogs will not come out.]
After saying that, he waved his hand and rushed into the campus in the dark with a serious face.
How come this security guard is completely different from what she imagined?
Qiao Song picked up the neatly written note at the front desk.
Thinking about the specific content of the strange story in the security booth, Qiao Song suddenly realized a problem.
This person cannot speak, does not know sign language, and has no habit of carrying a notebook with him, as if his tongue was suddenly pulled out one day.
The thin security guard on duty during the day likes to eat his fingers, while the fat security guard on duty at night likes to eat his tongue. So why is it that the thin security guard has no problem with his hands during the day, but the fat security guard, who is so scary, has no tongue?
There are many tricks involved. People without tongues cannot speak, reveal secrets, or scream.
Qiao Song thought it over again and chased after him again.
At the same time, I sent a text message to everyone else, telling them an important news: there is more than one dog on campus at night.
At this time, another group of people were wandering around the campus like headless flies. They didn't encounter any dogs or pedestrians, but were always trapped by something called the signpost. Even though they removed the signpost in time and walked in the next direction, they would soon encounter it again.
【Signboard Strange Stories】
[What? You dare to tour the campus at night, aren't you afraid of being eaten? Oh, of course there is no problem with humans. The premise is that you have not done anything that dogs hate during the day. You ask me what violations are? Hahaha, you will know when you meet a dog! ]
There are four directions written on the road sign. Apart from the teaching building, cafeteria and garbage disposal center, the rest is a big bright arrow, which shows the back mountain of the school that does not exist as mentioned in the rules.
Red Hair looked at the small red words on the back of the ID card and couldn't help but curse.
I saw this road sign three or four times in one night.
Now the nameplates of their trainee teachers not only show the names of the ghost stories, but also the content of the stories. However, who would have known that the difficulty has obviously increased a lot compared to before.
Wang Xiang, who was traveling with him, suddenly laughed neurotically.
Seeing that he was holding the phone as if he had just finished reading a text message, Red Hair also took out the phone from his trouser pocket and took a look at it, then couldn't help but curse again.
"The dogs are so strong, and there are more than one of them. How can we have fun with them? And Wang Xiang, can you please stop laughing? It's so scary in the middle of the night."
Wang Xiang, however, laughed as if he didn't hear anything, and even pounded the road sign with great pleasure.
"It's good that there's more than one dog. Doesn't that guy love bullying others? He's dead this time."
Red Hair suddenly had a bad feeling: "Who are you talking about? Are you cursing Jia Ao? I don't know if you two have had any grudges in the past, but this is a copy, can you please not..."
A shrill scream suddenly rang out in the darkness, not far from them.
This voice is Jia Ao!
Red-haired man saw Wang Xiang smile with satisfaction, and then before Wang Xiang could react, he suddenly turned around and ran straight towards the direction of the back mountain indicated by the sign.
The red-haired man kept shouting, "Are you crazy?" and was in a dilemma, not knowing whether he should chase the unconscious Wang Xiang first, or go check on his teammate who had just been attacked.
But thinking that the person traveling with Jia Ao was a fat man, he gritted his teeth and went to chase Wang Xiang.
Sister Qiao said that there were many secrets hidden in the back mountain. Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, he might as well give it a try.
At the end of another road, the fat man was being protected by a huge sculpture of a military general.
He saw Jia Ao's arm being bitten off by a dog that rushed out from nowhere. After the substitute doll took effect, Jia Ao quickly appeared in his complete form behind the shadow of the broken arm.
The fat man originally stretched out a hand to pull him in. After all, the general sculpture was just made after he entered the dungeon. Although the shield looks small, the hiding area is actually enough for two or three people.
【Ceramic Artist with Ingenuity and Skill】
[Skill 3: Spend at least 48 hours to complete a clay sculpture with high enough precision, which can give the clay sculpture a certain soul.]
Fatty had been making something like this before entering the dungeon, and he didn't expect to use it today. But apparently his teammates hadn't heard him explain the specific function of this new sculpture, so they made a move that Fatty couldn't react to in time.
Jia Ao, who had escaped death, was furious, obviously terrified to the extreme: "Fatty, you just know how to hide, get out of here."
After saying that, he was about to pull out the fat man who was protected by the general's shield and crawl in himself.
But the dog behind him was actually coming for him alone. Even though the fat man had already fallen out halfway, the dog slapped the general who was wielding the sword to the side, and then bit Jia Ao who had already got half of his body inside.
After spitting out most of the bloody body, the dog made a "pfft" sound. Sure enough, it was another phantom.
Jia Ao, who had already lost his second substitute doll, finally got scared. In desperation, he waved his hand, and many strange car parts appeared in the sky, smashing directly onto the dog's head in large quantities.
Includes a full tank of gasoline.
Then he tremblingly reached for his lighter, but found that because he was too nervous just now, he had no idea where he had thrown the plastic lighter in his pocket.
At this time, Jia Ao remembered that he still had a teammate, and immediately yelled: "Fatty Fatty! Where have you been? Lighter, can you give me a lighter? Let's burn this dog. I didn't mean to pull you just now. Can you save me? Without me, our car will be useless!"
The fat man, who was frightened by the pull he had just made, opened his lips slightly. Before he could ask the general who was protecting him to do something with his sword, he saw the big dog that was hit by the parts slapped down with another claw in anger.
After a few shrill screams, the sound of a puddle of mud being disturbed was heard.
The fat man immediately turned his head away, unable to bear to see what Jia Ao had become. Just when he was nervously preparing to use a substitute doll, he found that the dog snorted a few times on the spot, then turned around and walked away with disdain.
He poked his head out from behind the shield, took a quick look and discovered that the dog was not the same as the one Huangmao had described after the encounter that day. It was huge in size, but slender, and had very dense white fur. However, its mouth was splattered with blood, making it look very ferocious.
The dog turned around and ignored him again, and the fat man soon received several messages.
Qiao Song, Tang Xiaoxiao, Huang Maosheng, and Wang Xiang, all of them have gone to the back mountain for various reasons.
The fat man almost blacked out.
What should he do? Stay where he is and wait for news or go to the back mountain to have a look...
Thinking of how Jia Ao died, he really didn't have the courage to stay here. He gambled that the next dog would not attack him either.
However, when he was hesitating whether to collect the bodies of his teammates, he did not see any remaining limbs at the scene, and he did not know whether they were eaten or taken away.
He suppressed the disgusting thoughts in his mind and just picked up a coat that Jia Ao had dropped in a hurry. When he picked up the coat, he unexpectedly heard a ding-ding-ding sound.
When he opened his pocket, he saw a handful of exquisite brass coins.
Just when the fat man seemed to understand how his teammates died, Qiao Song had already arrived at the back mountain.
It was similar to the first day when I was almost pointed to a road sign trap. A winding stone road went straight up the mountain, with increasingly lush branches on both sides. Under the blessing of the night, it was like a pair of slender, withered hands, grabbing towards the center of the road.
There seemed to be pairs of eyes hidden in the surrounding bushes, staring at the human climbing the stairs in the middle of the road, whispering from time to time.
Qiao Song subconsciously put on a ghost cloak since she went up the mountain. She didn't know if it was the effect of the clothes, but she felt that the attention of the surrounding environment on her was gradually decreasing.
She squinted her eyes to check if there were any signs of lighting on the mountain road. Sure enough, she saw a flash of flashlight at a corner and hurried to catch up.
Gradually, she heard the sound of water. She didn't know whether it was a fountain or something else. A stream of water fell from a high place at a constant speed and hit a certain area of water.
Qiao Song paused and did not continue walking along the mountain road. Instead, he remembered the direction in which the flashlight turned and took the initiative to climb up a rockery next door.
The jagged rocks were easier to climb than she had imagined, and in less than 10 minutes she successfully saw a strange large pool.
She moved slowly, avoiding being exposed where she could be seen by those below, until she found a small stone platform and lay down.
Now, she could see the entire scene below.
In front of me is a pool of wild mountain spring water with a faint blue and white glow. Several clear water columns close to the rocks are constantly falling into the pool not far away.
Amid the sound of rushing water, Qiao Song held her breath and stared at the pool, and soon she saw a golden fish tail.
A giant golden carp, far beyond her imagination, swam slowly in the pond.
There seemed to be only this one fish in the entire pond. The scales on its back were as bright as gold, but its belly was a little dull.
The fish seemed to be shedding scales. Qiao Song noticed that there were already layers of light golden color at the bottom of the pond. For such a huge carp, the scales it shed alone must be the size of a coin.
Wait, coins?
Qiao Song looked at the thing in the water, which might be called koi, and gradually had a not-so-good association in his mind.
