Chapter 93 Haunted
Lin Xi asked Chen Sang Ning to lead her hand to the lecture hall. Chen Sang Ning pushed open the door on one side and led Lin Xi in. There was the touch of carpet under her feet, and it was very thick. Lin Xi could feel it. At the same time, a cloud of dust was raised. Obviously, no one had been in the lecture hall for a long time. Lin Xi waved her hand, as if to wave away the dust in front of her.
She coughed a few times before asking Shen Sangning, "Ningning, can you find the switch, the kind that turns on the light?"
She didn't know where the switch was outside, but there should be a light inside the lecture hall. Shen Sangning responded and left Lin Xi. She hadn't noticed it just now, but now Shen Sangning suddenly left her side, and the boundless darkness engulfed Lin Xi, making even a heartless person like Lin Xi feel a little scared.
Fortunately, the darkness was soon dissolved.
Shen Sang Ning found the switch and turned on the light. The light flickered a few times before suddenly illuminating the studio like daylight. The structure of the studio is actually very similar to that of a movie theater, except that there is a stage instead of a big screen in front. Shen Sang Ning floated back to Lin Xi and took Lin Xi's hand again.
Shen Sangning also gently comforted Lin Xi: "Don't be afraid, my dear, I'm here."
Lin Xi laughed in silence. It seemed that Chen Sangning had sensed her fear during their brief separation. She hummed, "I'm not afraid anymore."
Then he looked around and finally set his eyes on the stage.
The lecture hall of the Central Primary School looks almost the same as in real life. The chairs have red seats and black plastic backs. In the front is the stage with a red curtain. There is also a display screen on the stage, but it is black now and I don’t know if it can be used.
The floor of the stage is made of wood, and the color is also the simplest wood color.
There were a few chairs placed randomly on the stage, two of which lay on the ground, unused. It must have been a long time since it was used, as the chairs were still covered in dust.
On either side of the stage were stairs leading up. Climbing the stairs revealed two large black speakers. Lin Xi walked up the stairs, leaving distinct footprints as she did so. Her shoes carried away the dust. Lin Xi stood on the stage and looked toward the seats.
This lecture hall is quite large. Lin Xi quickly counted the seats and found that it was 30x15, which means there are 450 seats in total.
Think about it, there are only about 20 people in a class, and there are five or six classes in a grade, a total of six classes... Oh, it seems that there is still not enough space. But it is not a problem for elementary school. Lin Xi remembers that when she was in elementary school
At that time, the school auditorium could not accommodate so many people, so each class took turns moving their chairs over and placing them directly in the empty aisle.
If you squeeze a little using this method, you can still sit down.
But how could such a good lecture hall be abandoned? Lin Xi was puzzled. She walked to the front of the stage, looked at the seats below, and jumped down from the stage. Because of her cool action, a cloud of dust was raised. Lin Xi could not help but wave her hand to clear the dust.
Lin Xi walked up the stairs, wanting to see if there was anything he had missed. When he reached the top step, Shen Sangning tugged at Lin Xi's sleeve. Lin Xi turned around and asked Shen Sangning, "Wife, what's wrong?"
"Someone is coming."
Lin Xi's first reaction was to hide behind the auditorium, but she thought that the world was full of ghosts, and she was so charming that she could not be discovered by hiding behind the auditorium. So she simply stood there, turned around, and saw a woman in her thirties walking in from the door of the lecture hall.
She immediately looked up at Lin Xi, and was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Who are you?"
Lin Xi thought for a while before saying, "I'm a student's parent, and I came to see the child."
The woman looked strange: "You see the child here?"
"I accidentally got lost and ended up here. It's great that you found me. I was just wondering how to get out."
The woman sighed, "Then come down quickly. I'll take you out." Lin Xi didn't really want to leave because she hadn't found anything useful in the lecture hall, but her sixth sense told her that it would be best to follow the woman in front of her. So she nodded, pulled Shen Sang Ning down from the auditorium, and followed the woman outside.
At this moment, the lights in the hall outside were also turned on. If it wasn't Shen Sang Ning who turned it on, then it was the woman in front of him.
The hall in front of him was just as Shen Sangning had described. Nothing special, save for a few potted plants that looked near death and the photos hanging on either wall. Lin Xi took a look and, as she had expected, they were indeed the photos taken after the team won the competition. The only puzzling thing was that the students in the photos had crosses painted on their faces, something Shen Sangning hadn't told her before.
Lin Xi was a little surprised and wanted to stop and take a look, but the woman was already urging Lin Xi: "Come on, let's get out quickly."
This time, Lin Xi came out from the main gate.
After coming out, the woman took her straight to the administration office. Lin Xi didn't expect that she would be able to reach the second place so quickly. It was just that she was the one being questioned, not the one looking for clues. The woman took her to the file management room, obviously to check whether Lin Xi was the parent.
Lin Xi was not afraid at all, because she was Lin Lin's parent, so after reporting the name, Lin Xi and Shen Sang Ning sat on a wooden chair each, waiting for the woman to check the information. The woman turned and went into the small room next door. There was a transparent window between the small room and this side, and you could see many shelves inside, with folders on the shelves, which seemed to be information about the students of this school.
The woman quickly took a file from the shelf and checked it, only putting it back after confirming that Lin Xi's information was correct.
She was very familiar with the files. Just by saying Lin Lin's name, she knew which class she was in and where her files were. It seemed she was a regular. The woman walked out of the small room and poured a glass of water for Lin Xi and Shen Sangning. Lin Xi took a sip and set it aside. It was true, after walking so far, the lecture hall was still so dusty. I was really thirsty.
"I'm sorry to have kept you in there for so long. I didn't expect any parents to come into the lecture hall. My last name is Gao, so just call me Teacher Gao."
Teacher Gao sat at the back of the office, facing Lin Xi and Chen Sangning. Lin Xi nodded and said, "Teacher Gao." She looked at the woman opposite her and asked her question very rashly, "Why is the lecture hall abandoned?" Lin Xi's question was very straightforward, which made Teacher Gao's face look a little conflicted. She hesitated for a moment, but still gave Lin Xi an answer.
"Because the lecture hall is haunted."
“…”
Sometimes Lin Xi would really applaud these dedicated ghosts. She only now remembered that in the previous copies, the employees had always said, "There are no ghosts in this world." This was absolutely true, because these ghosts were all pretending to be humans, so of course there were no ghosts.
But the lecture hall obviously has some stories, otherwise Mr. Gao would not have said such a thing. It was really unusual to hear the word "haunted" from a ghost.
Teacher Gao sighed, "I don't know how to put it, but there is something wrong with the lecture hall, otherwise it wouldn't be abandoned like this. It's great that nothing happened to you after you went in there. I always tell students not to go into the lecture hall, otherwise they will be taken away and eaten by ghosts."
She lied, there was clearly nothing in the lecture hall. If there was such a powerful ghost in the lecture hall, Shen Sang Ning would definitely take action.
Lin Xi took another sip of water and chatted with Teacher Gao for a while, mainly as a parent, about her child. She complained bitterly to Teacher Gao about her daughter, who had poor academic performance and whose grades just wouldn't improve no matter how much she helped.
At first, Lin Xi was just casually talking about the topic, but when she thought of Lin Lin's "My mom eats as fast as a dog", she instantly became angry, and her words were full of true feelings. Shen Sang Ning also joined in, saying bad things about Lin Lin: "Lin Lin is stupid, super stupid!"
Teacher Gao saw how indignant they were and could only comfort them from a teacher's perspective: "The child is only in the third grade of elementary school, and her art and music grades are quite good. We can also give them different development paths based on their hobbies and let them take different paths."
When it comes to music and art, Lin Xi thinks of the two ghostly painted covers on the side of the extracurricular tutoring books. She tentatively asks, "Is being good at music and art really useful?"
Teacher Gao choked for a moment. From her tiny movement, Lin Xi guessed that the music and art in this world were definitely not good things. After she choked, Teacher Gao said, "It will be useful."
——I don’t believe you at all.
Lin Xi clearly didn't believe it. She chatted with Teacher Gao for a while, but found that after she was filled with righteous indignation, the rhythm of the conversation was directly led by Teacher Gao. Lin Xi was not a particularly good talker, and Teacher Gao was the kind of person who was particularly good at leading the conversation. Lin Xi always felt that if she continued to chat like this, she would definitely trigger Teacher Gao's rules.
But the fact is that she was always sent out of the office by Teacher Gao and she did not trigger Teacher Gao's rules.
When she came out of Teacher Gao's office, it was already 4:15 in the afternoon. Teacher Gao said that it was almost time for Lin Xi to pick up the children at the school gate. She followed Teacher Gao out and saw Teacher Gao lock the door, take her to the door, and then turn around and enter the school. Lin Xi was a little confused.
Lin Xi and Shen Sangning next to him looked at each other and said uncertainly, “It shouldn’t be because you are next to her that she doesn’t dare to do anything to me, right?”
Lin Xi felt that this was not the case. Once a ghost's rules were triggered, it would definitely go looking for trouble no matter what the situation was. Many ghosts were killed by Shen Sang Ning in this way. It was very likely that she really did not trigger Teacher Gao's rules.
This is quite interesting. She has been talking with Teacher Gao for such a long time, and the right to speak in the second half has always been in Teacher Gao's hands. Teacher Gao doesn't know how simple the rules of Shen Sangning next to him are. According to Lin Xi's experience with previous ghosts, the other party should try to attack her.
However, Teacher Gao did not.
