Standing at the corner of the dark corridor, Lan Dong was holding a dirty ball of paper. The more he looked at it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

"Lan Dong, what's written on the note?" Liu Kang asked from behind. Lan Dong lowered his head on the steps and said nothing.

"Brother Dong?" Ali was afraid that something might happen to Lan Dong, so he ran over quickly.

"Don't panic, it's just a ghost story." Lan Dong casually threw the paper ball next to the legs of the child doll. He took the mobile phone, squatted down, and aimed the screen light at the doll.

The child looked only five or six years old. He was wearing red and white clothes, with some black and brown residue on his shoes. His cuffs and collar were tied with red ropes, as if there was a fear that something would come out from under his clothes.

"Ghost doll?" Xiaochun also walked over. She stared at the child with his head tilted in the corner, and her tone changed.

"What is a ghost doll? Have you seen similar dolls elsewhere?" Liu Kang was a little scared.

"The ghost doll is a campus legend. Legend has it that after school, if a person walks around the campus, he will meet a child playing with a ball in the corridor. The child will ask if you want to play with him. If you say no, his head will fall off and chase you. If you say yes, the child will disappear." Xiaochun said in a low voice.

"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and agree to it!" the cameraman urged.

"If you agree, something worse will happen. The child will follow you home, and when you fall asleep, he will pull out your head." Lan Dong has also heard this story before: "Whether you agree or not, the ending will be terrible. This is an unsolvable story."

"No solution? I think this strange story is meaningless." Liu Kang stood where he was, without moving a step.

"If I really met a child like this in real life, I would definitely avoid him, but this is in a haunted house." Lan Dong didn't see anything unusual about the child. He reached out and grabbed the doll's head. "In fact, I have always been curious about why this child's head is so strange."

He pulled it upwards with all his strength and ended up lifting the child doll up.

The puppet's head and body are a whole and cannot be separated.

"It seems like this is just a decoration, there's no hidden mechanism." Lan Dong grabbed the puppet's head and shook it back and forth: "It's very solid, this head can't be pulled off at all. The clue should be on the paper around it."

Lan Dong unfolded all the paper balls on the ground and took a look. He found that the handwriting on each paper ball was different. What was a bit creepy was that the last sentence on all the paper balls was - At that time, I walked to his side just like you and picked up the paper ball he threw away.

"It feels like a recurring curse. Anyone who picks up the paper ball will have a bad end." When Ali said this, he obviously didn't consider Lan Dong's feelings.

"I believe in psychological suggestion more than curses." Lan Dong untied the red rope on the puppet's sleeve and shook it a few times. A bunch of keys fell out of the puppet's clothes.

"Have we found a hidden clue? What are these keys for?"

"I think I understand a little bit." Lan Dong held the key and pointed at the paper ball he had just picked up: "Look, this note says that it was my turn to be on duty that day. When I was about to take out the trash, I saw a child squatting in the corner of the corridor. The second note says that when I went to the 413 boys' dormitory to borrow hot water for instant noodles, I saw a child squatting in the corner of the corridor. The most important thing is that you can look at the third paper ball, which says that when I went to Teacher Bai's office to pick up homework, I saw a child squatting in the corridor."

"Teacher Bai? Isn't that the person we are looking for?" Liu Gang reacted.

"Yes!" Lan Dong held up the key: "According to the ghost doll legend, if you agree to the ghost doll's request, the ghost doll will always follow you. These keys may correspond to those scenes. In other words! We may have got the key to Teacher Bai's office now!"

"But isn't the thing we are looking for where Teacher Bai lives?" Xiaochun didn't want to cause any more trouble. She always felt that the doll was weird.

"Many of the clues we have obtained point to Teacher Bai. He must be an important figure in the ghost school. Obtaining the key to his office is very crucial for us." Lan Dong frowned and put away the key.

"You'd better not touch the ghost doll's things." Xiaochun reminded out of kindness.

"That bunch of keys should be an ordinary prop. We shouldn't scare ourselves." After Liu Kang knew that the puppet was not dangerous, he breathed a sigh of relief and returned to normal.

"I suggest that we better not go down. I've seen the ghost doll stories. Wherever the ghost dolls appear, there are a lot of dirty things hidden. The ghost dolls are just the beginning." Xiaochun suggested leaving, but Liu Gang was now forced by his fans. He himself said just now that if he took a step back, he would be sorry for the many viewers in the live broadcast room.

"Girls are more thoughtful, but don't worry, we are all here. As long as you are not alone, we guarantee that you will be fine." Liu Kang patted his chest. Everyone in the live broadcast room said that Brother Kang was a righteous man. Some old fans of the horror house even created accounts specifically to cheer for Liu Kang.

Perhaps in Liu Kang's view, it was his sincerity and personal charm that conquered the fans of his enemy, but in fact he did not fully grasp the psychology of those fans.

When those fans were being tortured to the point of wanting death, there was a noble person who was above vulgarity and was willing to use his life to tell others that you are not the worst off.

For such a person and such behavior, what good would it mean to give him a little encouragement and support?

The five people did not realize the seriousness of the disappearance of the male assistant. After all, when normal people come to visit a haunted house, few would think too deeply about it.

Turning the corner, they came to the bottom floor. It seemed that all the lights in the corridor were broken and it was pitch black all around. But strangely, they could vaguely see a light red light at the other end of the corridor.

The faint light was dancing like a will-o'-the-wisp.

"Brother Dong, something seems wrong." Ali patted Lan Dong's shoulder gently: "Wasn't the neck of the ghost doll at the corner of the corridor crooked before?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

"Take another look." Ali took out his mobile phone and shone the light behind him. The ghost doll's head stood straight on its shoulders, as if it was about to be pulled out.

"It might be because I grabbed his head and pulled it up hard just now." When Lan Dong said this, he felt a chill on his neck, as if a pair of hands were pulling his head up.

"Attention! Something is coming in the corridor!" the cameraman suddenly shouted, and everyone looked to the end of the corridor.

The faint red light in the distance slowly approached, and when it was a few meters away from them, it suddenly flashed into a dormitory next to them.

"Is it a haunted house actor?"

Lan Dong pointed his cell phone at the dormitory door, and the dormitory number happened to be 413.
