The driver's face turned pale and he laughed dryly: "Then I wish you success."
"Yes, can you turn off your phone?" Chen Ge smiled in what he thought was a kind smile: "It's just a misunderstanding."
"Of course." The driver agreed generously, tapped his phone a few times, and drove two or three meters forward. Suddenly, the red light on the car intercom lit up. He touched it lightly with his fingers, and before he could say anything, a rough voice came out.
"Lao Liu, you are also in Xicheng Private School? I'm just curious why there are people running there at night. I also pulled one over, we are quite close. By the way, what did you post in the group? Am I being pinched by a stick?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Just drive your car carefully." The uncle wiped the sweat from his forehead and hung up the intercom.
"I was kidnapped, right? Uncle, where is the most basic trust between people?" Chen Ge raised his eyebrows. He was also afraid that the police would be called later: "Let's stop here."
"Okay!" The driver stopped the car without saying a word, his calves still shaking.
Chen Ge checked his belongings and got out of the car with his bag on his back. When he closed the door, he looked up and saw a line of words scrolling on the display screen on the top of the taxi - I'm being hijacked, please call the police!
"You have quite a lot of tricks."
After watching the taxi fly away, a dozen seconds later, the surrounding area of nearly a hundred meters fell into dead silence.
There were no stars or moon in the sky, and it seemed like it was about to rain. The clouds were very low and there was no light at all.
Chen Ge turned on his phone and checked the time. There were still eight minutes left before the agreed deadline.
"Just now when I was in the car, someone said on the intercom that he also brought someone to the West City Private School. He was still running in this direction at around 1 a.m. Could it be related to me?" He was cautious. If there was no time limit, he would probably ambush on both sides of the road to see who was following him.
"There are only eight minutes left. I'd better go into the school first and get familiar with the terrain, which will give me an advantage." There is a wasteland near the West City Private School. There are no lights in sight, only an increasingly narrow road that runs through the woods and bushes.
Turning on the flashlight on his phone, Chen Ge walked nearly a hundred meters along the road and finally arrived at the main entrance of the abandoned school.
The chain and the fence were rusted together, the gate was closed, and looking inside through the iron bars, it was pitch black.
"How do I get in?"
Chen Ge wandered outside the door for a while, threw his backpack into the school, then took a running start and jumped up, grabbed the top of the wall, and climbed over it.
The campus is not very big and you can see the edge at a glance. There are a few dark shadows of buildings standing in the darkness, like a few lonely night watchmen.
The school sign has been removed. In fact, Chen Ge doesn’t know the real name of the school. He only knows that everyone calls it Xicheng Private College.
The bushes were so dense that I couldn't see the road clearly. From time to time, something scratched my calves, which felt itchy and painful.
"I arrived within the specified time. The next task is to go in and find Zhang Ya's red dancing shoes." Chen Ge took out the tool hammer from his backpack. Holding the cold hammer handle, he felt much more at ease.
Using his cell phone as a light, Chen Ge walked towards the school. He hadn't taken a few steps when he suddenly felt something was wrong. He stopped and took a few steps back.
"Is it my illusion? Why do I feel like my shoulders are being pushed when I walk into the school? When I step back, there is a force blocking my back, an inexplicable resistance." He turned his head to look at his shoulders, but there was nothing there. He shone the light on his back again, but there was no ghost or anything like that as he had imagined.
"Is she here? Right next to me? But I can't see her?" Chen Ge shuddered and wanted to swing the hammer behind him to try, but then he thought, what if it was really Zhang Ya behind him, and he would anger her by hitting her with the hammer?
He was just a lonely, weak and helpless haunted house owner. In this wilderness, the consequences of angering evil spirits would be disastrous.
"Forget it, let's go in first." Chen Ge put on his bag, held up his cell phone, and carried a tool hammer as he walked into the campus.
The night was getting darker and darker, and the wind started to blow, mixed with fine raindrops.
"The most likely places for dance shoes to appear are the women's dressing room in the dance studio and the dormitory where Zhang Ya once lived. These two places should be checked in detail."
Chen Ge walked towards the nearest building. The trees on the campus grew crookedly, the ground was overgrown with weeds, and there were many sculptures around, most of which were human figures. They looked a little scary in the dark.
"Girls' apartment?"
The four-story apartment building is not very tall, but it looks eerie, perhaps because it has been abandoned for too long.
The glass door of the apartment was locked with an iron chain, and he leaned against the door and looked inside.
It was a pitch-black corridor with doors on both sides tightly closed. The weirdest thing was that there was a chair in the middle of the corridor with its back to the dormitory door.
"A chair is placed right in the middle of the corridor? What's the special meaning?" Chen Ge took a small step back. "The school gate and the dormitory glass door are all locked. There is no garbage in the corridor. It can be seen that everything was cleaned up when the school was closed. But why did they leave a chair in the middle of the corridor? Are they trying to drive people with obsessive compulsive disorder to death?"
"If the chair was left by the school, why did they do that? If they didn't leave it, then who moved the chair to the middle of the corridor after the door was locked?" Chen Ge pointed his phone at the glass door of the dormitory. The chair was five meters away from the exit, and above it was a smashed corridor lamp.
"The corridor lights were smashed, the wires were sticking out, the chairs, the wires, how come this scene looks like hanging?" To be honest, after seeing such a weird scene, Chen Ge was also worried: "Maybe I'm overthinking it."
He looked around. The night wind blew the leaves, and the campus became more and more strange after the early morning.
"Don't scare yourself. The red ghost Zhang Ya is the scariest person in this school. I have her love letter. Who dares to embarrass me?" At this point, Chen Ge could only comfort himself: "This is just a favorability mission. To put it bluntly, it's just a special date. There's no need to be nervous, and there's no need to be afraid."
He talked to himself to encourage himself, then grabbed the tool hammer and walked to the glass door again. When he was about to break the glass to go in and find out what was going on, his eyes suddenly caught a detail.
The chair, which was supposed to be facing the corridor light, was now one meter away from the corridor light, and it seemed to have moved forward.
"What the hell?"
This was the first time Chen Ge had experienced something like this: "Am I dazzled?"
