Zhu Long didn't notice anything unusual about himself. He didn't say the boy's and girl's names, but he looked as if he had experienced something similar.
"Hey!" Wang Yicheng was very timid. He found that Zhu Long seemed to be possessed by evil spirits, so he stretched out his hand and pushed him.
The confusion in Zhu Long's eyes disappeared instantly. He looked at the people around him and suddenly laughed: "Did you get scared? I was also shocked when I heard this joke for the first time. Did you know? There is actually a second half to this joke. I have a general impression of it in my mind, but I can't remember it at all."
"And the second half?"
"Yeah, but I forgot." Zhu Long chuckled, "Why are you all looking at me like that? This is just a joke I saw somewhere else. It's not a weird story that happened in our college."
Zhu Long found that everyone was still staring at him, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared: "You don't believe me? Our school is not a medical university..."
"Our school is a comprehensive university with three medical majors. Due to the weak faculty, there are very few students and we hardly see them usually. However, they have three separate laboratories in the experimental building." Although everyone is a freshman, Zhang Ju knows the school very well and knows a lot of information that others don't know.
"Does our school have an anatomy lab?" Zhu Long was dumbfounded. "I'm just saying it casually, don't take it seriously."
"Our paranormal research club is here to find the truth. Whether it's true or not, we'll know when we go to the scene." Chen Ge was also very interested in the story Zhu Long told. Zhu Long used to be a gangster and had been sent to a juvenile detention center because of a dispute with the urban management. His past was very similar to the bad boy in his story. Coupled with his strange behavior just now, it was hard for Chen Ge not to be suspicious.
"Zhu Long also has no memory of the last summer vacation after graduating from high school. Some things may have happened during that summer vacation." Chen Ge obtained a lot of clues from these children, and the next step is to enter the school to verify them.
"I'm glad that everyone is actively participating. Let's go to the places you mentioned tonight to check." Chen Ge said to Zhang Ju, "Let's go to the forest you mentioned first. You saw the senior who was going to take a leave of absence with your own eyes. What happened to him is very likely true."
"Okay, follow me." Zhang Ju lowered his head, as if to absorb the light when he walked, and this could cover the scar on his face.
He was very familiar with the school and didn't look like a freshman at all, but it was obvious that the familiarity was ingrained in him, as if he had always belonged to this school.
There weren't many people in the small square at this time, and not many people noticed them.
Even if others saw it, they would not doubt it. At most, they would just feel curious. After all, all the members of Chen Ge's club are quite different.
The woods were far away from the small square, so Chen Ge took this opportunity to familiarize himself with the terrain of the school.
The West Campus was very large, and they walked for more than ten minutes but still couldn't see its boundary.
"That's an artificial lake over there. Because a drowning incident happened there before, the school prohibits people from getting close to it at night. We have to go around it a little further." Zhang Ju pointed to the darkness in the distance. If he hadn't told Chen Ge in advance, Chen Ge would have had no idea that it was actually a lake.
The water surface is calm and without any light. It looks more like a black hole that swallows everything than a lake.
After walking for a few more minutes, Zhang Ju stopped and said, "The girl's body was found in this woods."
The campus was very scary at night, but fortunately there were street lights on both sides of the road, and the light made the few people feel a little more at ease.
"There were no street lights here before. After the accident, the school installed lights on both sides of this path." Zhang Ju was the first to enter the woods, and Chen Ge followed closely behind.
He was very close to Zhang Ju and could clearly feel that Zhang Ju relaxed a lot after entering the woods.
Perhaps it was because the light was blocked by the woods, so no one could see his scarred face clearly.
"There's nothing special about this place." When they first entered the woods, they were a little scared, worried about what would happen if they really ran into that girl. But after staying there for a while, they all felt a little bored.
"Teacher Bai, that ghost story must be fake. The woods look normal, and there is no sign of murder." Zhou Tu wanted to leave, but he saw Chen Ge squatting in front of a tree hole in a daze. He walked over in confusion: "Teacher Bai, what are you looking at?"
Chen Ge ignored Zhou Tu and said without turning his head: "Zhang Ju, in the strange story you mentioned, was the girl's head found in the tree hole?"
"Yeah." Zhang Ju was a little surprised, but then he thought, Chen Ge is a school teacher, it is normal for him to know these things.
"Has there ever been a human head hidden in this tree hole?" Wang Yicheng staggered back a step. He was the least courageous among the group.
"Don't run around. There is a piece of the dead person's hair hanging on the branch behind you." Zhang Ju gently supported Wang Yicheng to prevent him from falling.
"Don't scare him. Even if a murder has happened here, it's not as weird as what is said in ghost stories." Zhou Tu didn't believe in it. He just wanted to leave.
"Xiao Zhou, the truth is more horrifying than you can imagine." Chen Ge was not ready to tell Zhou Tu and the others that he had seen an identical tree hole in the East Campus, and there was a human head stuffed inside.
"The East and West campuses are indeed similar in some ways, but there is one thing I don't quite understand. They both had an accident, so why did the girl live in the East campus, while the boy she liked lived in the West campus? What criteria did the school owner use to assign these students?"
The difference between the female ghost in the tree hole and Zhang Ju is that one has retained her sanity and looks like a normal person, while the other is twisted by hatred and has irreconcilable resentment in her eyes.
"Students from the east and west campuses have completely different mental states. Students from the west campus are more sunny and enthusiastic, and have a lot of positive emotions, while students from the east campus are entangled in negative emotions, like they are half human, half ghost."
After thinking for a while, Chen Ge remembered a certain oil painting in the oil painting.
If we eliminate the despair and negative emotions inside the door, is it possible for the inside to return to normal?
The current situation of the two campuses is very similar to the scene shown in the oil painting. The West Campus transports all negative emotions to the East Campus through the garbage disposal station to keep it normal at all times.
The two campuses are like an hourglass, and the garbage disposal station is the small hole in the middle of the hourglass.
"I think I understand what the school's owner is going to do."
Chen Ge reached his hand into the tree hole. It had been cleaned out and there was nothing inside.
