Chapter 81 Chapter 81 Academy Forum, About That...
On the college forum, rumors about the strange voice were getting more and more intense, with a new post appearing almost every two days.
As the first discoverers, several boys in the Rose Class suddenly felt a little proud that they had dominated the direction of the campus atmosphere - they were the first to post.
The content of their posts is not entirely true and is somewhat embellished to attract attention.
At first they were a little scared. When they got together with friends, they exaggerated the incident and created an atmosphere of panic.
But after we dispersed, we didn't take it to heart anymore.
How could there be a ghost?
Until many people appeared later, and each of them spoke with details and evidence, and the popularity of this matter gradually increased.
Looking at the new posts that appeared every now and then, the first few people who posted felt something was wrong.
"Is what they're saying true? Could it be..." Wang Duo said dryly, "Could it be one of your smurfs?"
"Who has so much free time as to create so many small accounts to stir up trouble?" The friend frowned.
"But this is really strange. We weren't just making things up at the beginning. We actually heard that sound." Another boy asked curiously, "Could this be true?"
"Whether it's true or not, it has nothing to do with us." Wang Duo finally said, "Even if it's true, we didn't agree to that voice. Isn't it said that only after agreeing will we be pestered?"
"Be careful these days. No matter who offers to help you, don't accept it. Just do it yourself."
As soon as he said this, the boy nodded in agreement, but his friend's face suddenly turned pale for a moment.
"Um, I, I think I promised..."
The two men's shocked gazes instantly focused on him, watching him explain the whole story with a bitter face.
It was just after school yesterday that he returned to the classroom to look for something, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time.
The squad leader was there at the time and asked him if he needed help, and he agreed.
The two people who thought they could hear something supernatural suddenly fell in expression.
"I thought you really saw a ghost, but it turns out Lin Huai just did you a favor. What are you afraid of?"
The friend who was being mocked for being timid couldn't help but say, "Didn't you say not to agree to anything no matter who asks?"
“Now that you’ve said that, I remember that Lin Huai helped me yesterday, so I must be scared!”
"What do you mean I helped you?" Lin Huai, who happened to pass by, looked at the people gathered at the same table.
After hearing what happened, he frowned and said, "I wasn't in the classroom yesterday. I was in the activity room of the Environmental Protection Club after school."
"You must have remembered it wrongly."
After saying that, she walked out of the classroom with the book, regardless of the boy's pale face.
There was a long silence before one of them spoke cautiously, "Is he kidding?"
"Do you think Lin Huaixiang is a jokester?"
Everyone suddenly fell silent.
It was hard to tell what mood they were in, but during the break, they all gathered around Lin Huai's desk.
"...I think I've heard about what you're talking about before." Lin Huai frowned and said, "Many people heard this sound in the bell tower, right?"
Several people nodded repeatedly.
"The clock tower is a library, and there are a lot of people there. There's nothing to worry about." He changed the subject, "It's just—"
"Just what?"
"There's just a storage room above the bell tower." Lin Huai said calmly, "It seems to have been sealed off all the time. No one has ever been in there."
Lin Huai's words gave them new clues. They didn't want to keep pestering Lin Huai, and they also felt that the classroom where "Lin Huai" had appeared was a bit eerie, so they simply changed the place to talk.
At noon, several people sat on a bench without any shade, trying to figure out what had happened.
"There shouldn't be anything in the clock tower storage room, right?" the boy asked hesitantly.
"I haven't been there. The bell tower storage room is always locked."
"Are you talking about the storage room in the clock tower?" Loren, who was passing by, slowed down his pace and looked at them with interest.
"A word of advice," he said casually, "don't go there and get yourself into trouble."
"Of course, if you're already in trouble," he said lightly, "then you'd better go."
Loren's ambiguous words quickly increased the credibility of the matter. Several people nodded in agreement, but cold sweat broke out on their backs.
"So, are we really going there?"
…
"Don't they have any curiosity? Why are they hesitant?"
Not far behind the bench, in places hidden by bushes, a row of heads were furtively observing the people who were struggling.
After taking on the task, Wen Qian began careful deployment.
Simply put, whoever pays the most attention to this matter will be scared.
Unexpectedly, the person I met in the end was an old acquaintance - the Qin Wang Raozhu trio.
If you are from the Rose Class, that’s even better!
Wen Qian immediately added Lin Huai's name to the cast list that originally only had Loren.
First of all, there was the incident of the squad leader helping out. Originally, Wen Qian was planning to spread some remarks on the forum after Lin Huai helped him, such as saying that no one should be allowed to help, in order to direct their suspicion towards Lin Huai.
But unexpectedly, their imaginations were so outstanding that they skipped this step directly.
Loren's role is mainly to add credibility.
So that he could "happen" to run into those people discussing the relevant events.
Loren stayed near those three people for the past two days.
Although he himself did not want to do such a thing, when Wen Qian regretfully said that he could ask Chu Lingyu for help, he agreed.
"Next, we just need to wait in the storage room!"
…
"Didn't you say we should just sit back and wait?" Lin Huai looked at the bag of cosmetics in his hand with an indescribable look.
Why is there still equipment?!
"Pure props may not be able to scare people." Wen Qian said naturally, "You have to use real people!"
"Wen Qian, how can you be sure that they will come today?" Zhou Zhu asked curiously.
As the script supplier this time, Zhou Zhu participated in the design of all behind-the-scenes work, and now it seems that the results are very good.
Hearing this question, Wen Qian glanced at his system panel.
[Quest Progress - 70% (Over 50% will trigger the storyline where students will search for the truth. Please be prepared, as a large group of students will be arriving soon)]
"I have my own information channels, don't worry!" Wen Qian said firmly, "They will definitely come."
After all, this is a plot that is bound to be triggered. If it isn't those three unlucky guys, it will be someone else.
It all depends on who will be the final winner of this decisive battle at the peak of bad luck.
"So, how do you use this?" Loren shook the foundation in his hand.
He looked at Wen Qian, Wen Qian looked at Zhou Zhu, Zhou Zhu...
Zhou Zhu was silent for two seconds and then looked at Lin Huai.
Lin Huai: "...Give me the things."
Doctor Lin's magic hands brought back the spirit, and he effortlessly painted the men into new, eerie looks.
The few people who were discussing excitedly just now fell silent at this moment.
I dare not look at each other, for fear of laughing.
The drawing is really good, but it’s a pity that they are acquaintances. The better the drawing is, the more I want to laugh.
[Classmates have arrived at the clock tower, please get ready]
Wen Qian instantly perked up: "Hurry, hurry, people are coming over, let's follow our previous plan."
"Wait a minute, but we haven't planned to get to this point yet."
"Why would you need a plan to scare someone? It just happens."
Wen Qian glanced around, raised his hand, grabbed the shelf in the storage room and climbed to the top. After a series of silky movements, he hung himself on the ceiling.
Loren subconsciously followed her movements and raised his head, looking at Wen Qian who was trying to hide himself quietly.
How did she get up there?
This was the only thought left in Loren's mind.
Looking at the two people who were silent: "..."
Wen Qian: "Probationary member, if you don't take action, all your assessment points will be deducted."
At the same time, the unlucky trio, feeling nervous, carefully took the ladder leading to the storage room from the administrator.
"Remember, no matter what you see, pretend you didn't see it." The administrator said meaningfully.
The three of them suddenly became more nervous.
"Wait, so why do we have to come here?" The boy couldn't help but ask, "Aren't we just victims of a horror movie?"
"Shouldn't the first reaction be to stay away?"
"I don't know either. I just feel uneasy if you don't come. Don't you feel the same?"
The other two: They really feel that way.
Even more weird.
The plot point that will be triggered after the task reaches 50% makes the three unlucky guys even more certain that there really is a supernatural event. Otherwise, how could they all have the idea of having to take a look at it at the same time?
They climbed up the ladder to the storage room, a dark and gloomy room with only a small window to bring light into the room.
Although no one had ever been here, the window was strangely wide open, swaying slightly in the wind outside, making a creaking sound.
"That feeling is coming back." Unlucky Guy No. 1 swallowed and lowered his voice, "That feeling of being stared at."
"I felt it too, and it seems even more obvious this time." Wang Duo broke out in a cold sweat. "And it's not just from one direction. I feel like there are people everywhere!"
"That's right, this storage room must be the key to the problem. Even the anomalies have doubled."
"Then let's go quickly. We agreed to just take a look and leave!"
The three people, whose toes had just touched the storage room floor, were ready to retreat without even taking another step inside.
"That's right, let's go."
"Yeah, if I stay here I'll really become the protagonist of a horror movie."
"That's the wise decision."
"I agree."
"I agree."
The proposal to retreat received numerous votes of approval.
countless?
"...Just now, were there a few more voices?" Wang Duo's pupils trembled.
"I heard it too, like Lin Huai and Luo Lun!" The boy opened his eyes wide, "She really was staring at us!"
He even knew who they had contacted recently and who they had asked for help.
The voice was exactly the same, the person who helped him in the classroom before must have been a fake!
Wang Duo quickly turned around, and his expression suddenly changed the moment he saw what was behind him.
"The ladder is gone!"
"What?"
"Then what should we do?" The boy suddenly felt regretful.
"Why on earth are we here?"
God knows why they suddenly came up with the idea of coming here to take a look!
Yes, God knows.
"Excuse me... do you need any help?" A sinister voice came from the window.
The unlucky guy subconsciously looked towards the window and saw a pale-faced woman hanging upside down there, looking at them with lifeless eyes.
The three of them let out a scream and quickly hid away from the female ghost.
Close to the wall, a cold voice came from their ears.
"Stay away from me."
I'm dying! The ghost is imitating Lin Huai's words!
The three of them took off and flew to the other corner of the wall.
Good news, the ghost didn't chase me.
Bad news, there was a breathing sound next to them.
"I told you not to come to the storage room, didn't I?"
Wang Duo moved his neck stiffly. It was Loren's voice. How many people had this ghost imitated?
His friend standing next to him stammered, "But, but you clearly asked us to come over."
Loren, who remembered the lines incorrectly, said: "..."
Xiao Wen was furious. He actually failed at such a critical moment!
She hung upside down on the ceiling and slowly turned her head to look at the three people: "You..."
Zhou Zhu, who was squatting in a blind spot, crackled the plastic water pipe in his hand, creating the sound of stiff limbs moving.
Following Wen Qian's actions, the three unlucky guys instantly thought of a more terrifying possibility - she was about to climb down!

"...That's about it." Zhao Fu followed Lu Yanbai, holding the documents, and reported on the work he had just completed.
Lu Yanbai nodded and was about to speak, but suddenly stopped.
He looked up at the clock tower storage room, his eyes fixed on the only window facing the outside of the storage room.
Zhao Fu looked in the direction of his gaze in confusion, and the moment he saw the scene clearly, his eyes widened involuntarily.
What the hell is that hanging there?!
In the window of the bell tower storage room, a figure was hanging upside down, swaying back and forth.
Zhao Fu's eyes were blank. He might have been working for too long and was hallucinating.
"Zhao Fu." Lu Yanbai said expressionlessly, "Go see who is in the storage room of the bell tower and bring that person here."
It looks scary at first glance, but if you look closely you can see that the person hanging there is just an ordinary student, who probably hung himself there on his own initiative.
Why do you know this?
Because the man hanging upside down was now waving his right fist hard behind his back.
Then he made a sneaky gesture.
She even celebrated.
