"There's someone in the cubicle!"
The moment he saw the black leather shoes, Chen Ge thought of Teacher Bai from the East Campus, who was wearing a pair of pure black leather shoes like this.
"Don't come over here yet."
Chen Ge took two steps back, put Lin Sisi's phone into the gap between the compartments, and quickly took a photo.
Looking down at his phone, Chen Ge found that what he was worried about did not happen. There was only a pair of leather shoes in the compartment, and no "person" was hidden.
"Lin Sisi's phone can take pictures of evil spirits and some special things, but there is nothing in the photo, which means there is only a pair of shoes in this cubicle. But if there is no one in the cubicle, how is the door locked?"
The toilet cubicle door could only be locked from the inside, and the position of the black leather shoes made it look as if there was a person standing inside, rather than as if they had been stuffed in from the outside.
"Teacher, could you have seen it wrong? Who would go to the top floor of the teaching building to use the restroom alone in the middle of the night? It's creepy just to think about it." Zhu Long's memory was already loosening, and he remembered some things, vaguely, unable to explain clearly, but they did have an impact on him, causing some changes in him that no one noticed. For example, he began to keep a distance from other club members and was more willing to stay with Chen Ge, as if Chen Ge and he were the same type of people.
"Stay here, if anyone else approaches, notify me immediately."
Chen Ge shook the compartment door vigorously and opened it violently.
The narrow compartment was painted with many grimaces using oil paints. Standing inside, it felt like being stared at by many people.
“Why is there a pair of leather shoes?”
Chen Ge did not find anything unusual in the first compartment, so he went to the second compartment. With his previous experience, he took out his mobile phone and took pictures of the gap between the compartments.
The photo shows that there is also a pair of shoes in the second compartment, but these shoes are not black leather shoes, but a pair of worn blue sneakers.
"The placement is the same. What's the meaning behind this?"
Chen Ge checked the first six compartments one by one. There was a pair of shoes in each compartment. They were all men's shoes, including sneakers, travel shoes, and flat shoes. The sizes were all different and they should belong to different people.
"The black leather shoes in the first compartment are very similar to Teacher Bai's shoes. They should be worn by adults. The shoes in the other five compartments are worn by students. Does each pair of shoes represent a person?"
"Lin Sisi was teased by her classmates at the time. Could the owner of these pairs of shoes be the person who targeted Lin Sisi the most at that time?"
The biggest difference between evil spirits and living people is that they are made up of obsessions and negative emotions. Adjectives such as understanding and kindness have nothing to do with them.
No matter what kind of person Lin Sisi was when he was alive, the moment he became a ghost, his body and mind would be devoured by hatred. This is one of the ghost's obsessions and the foundation that supports his existence.
Imprisoning the person who played a trick on him in a cubicle to keep him company, based on Chen Ge's understanding of evil spirits, they are likely to do such a thing.
"Teacher! Someone is coming towards the teaching building!" Zhou Tu supported Wang Yicheng and stood at the door of the toilet and shouted to Chen Ge: "They seem to be coming from the direction of the laboratory building!"
"Coming for us?" Chen Ge hurried to the door of the last compartment. He subconsciously took out his mobile phone to take a photo, but was surprised to find that the door panel of the seventh compartment had been removed.
"Where is the seventh door?" According to Chen Ge's previous guess, the door related to Lin Sisi was most likely to appear in the toilet, but he searched the toilet and couldn't find it.
"Calm down, don't panic." Chen Ge bit his tongue lightly. He knew that it would take some time for those people downstairs to go upstairs. "Each bloody door corresponds to a person who pushes the door, which means that the door is unique..."
Touching the door frame with his fingers, Chen Ge discovered that the hinge of the door of the seventh compartment was broken: "The door of this compartment was violently knocked open from the inside!"
He looked down into the compartments. There were no shoes in the seventh compartment, only two blood-red shoe prints.
The two shoe prints, one in front of the other, look like a person walking out the door.
"If each pair of shoes represents a person, then did the person in the last compartment run out?" Chen Ge turned his head suddenly and looked around. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect or some other reason, but the ugly and weird people on the wall seemed to come alive, and their expressions became different from before.
"All the despair and negative emotions in the West Campus have been transported to the East Campus. The real 'Blood Gate' is probably in the toilet on the top floor of the East Campus teaching building."
Before one problem was solved, a new one appeared. Veins popped up on Chen Ge's forehead. He bit his tongue hard to keep himself awake. "One step at a time. At least I know I am slowly getting closer to the truth."
"Teacher! They're going upstairs! Let's find a place to hide first!" Zhou Tu said anxiously. He felt panicky for no apparent reason. "The people who just entered the teaching building didn't seem to be teachers or students of the school. Their walking posture was also very strange!"
"The walking posture is weird?" Chen Ge immediately realized that something was wrong and called Zhang Ju and Zhu Long to run out of the toilet: "Which side did they go up from?"
"The corridor near the toilet!"
"Okay! Let's go down from the other side! Be careful not to be seen by them!" Chen Ge had no intention of confronting the other party head-on for the time being, so he ran to the first corridor, but when he passed by Wang Yicheng, he suddenly stopped.
His pupils shrank and his eyes fell on Wang Yicheng's shoes.
"Blue sneakers?"
The shoes Wang Yicheng is wearing now are exactly the same as the shoes in the second cubicle of the toilet!
"The shoes in the toilet cubicle are all men's shoes..." Chen Ge thought carefully and suddenly realized that the shoes in the toilet were exactly the same as the shoes of the students in dormitory 413.
"There are six people in dormitory 413. The toilet on the top floor of the teaching building has seven cubicles. There are six cubicles for six people. There is also a cubicle with black leather shoes, representing the teacher. It is just enough for seven people." Chen Ge frowned. "Why does Lin Sisi hate his roommate so much? Didn't he run back to the dormitory to remind his roommate not to go near the toilet?"
Chen Ge rubbed his temple fiercely. He had too many things to think about. "The East Campus is chaotic and disorderly, while the West Campus is more like a souvenir in a glass bottle, frozen in the past few days of enrollment, repeating over and over again. If you want to know the truth, you must compare the same scene in the East and West campuses!"
“The West Campus is too perfect, too beautiful to be real, like a child’s dream. In comparison, the East Campus seems much more realistic.”
Chen Ge's eyes moved away from Wang Yicheng's shoes. He had already made up his mind to take everyone to the East Campus.
"I have no choice now but to search for memories in dreams and the truth in reality."
