Chapter 178 The Eighth Person
Before they could think about where the eighth person was, books began to fall from the shelves, making a harsh sound.
"Who, who is there!" Old Wu shouted bravely, walked to the back of the bookshelf and looked behind, but there was no one there.
A creepy feeling lingered in everyone's heart.
Lin Dadan sat in the barrel and cried: "If I can get out alive this time, I will never touch anything like this again..."
Xiaomei held Wangzainan's arm tightly, her face full of fear, "Where is the eighth person? Will we be caught and eaten like Lin Dadan?"
"How should I know!" Wangzaiman pushed her hand away irritably and kept moving closer to Shen Wan.
"Master, please think of a solution quickly. We don't want to sit here and wait for death."
They didn't dare to look outside now. The female ghost looked like she was seriously ill. Her horrible and unrecognizable face was pressed against the window, staring at each of them grimly.
It seemed that as long as one made eye contact with her, she would confuse one's mind.
"Could the eighth person be the female ghost outside?" Old Wu guessed.
Wangzaiman complained: "Even if it was her, would you dare to open the door and let her in?"
"Look at the way she crawls, she's even scarier than Kayako!"
"If that's her case, I'd rather be trapped and die in the library!"
Everyone looked at Shen Wan in panic and helplessness, placing all their hopes on her.
Shen Wan didn't say anything, just observed them silently.
"No hurry, let's sit down and have a good chat first."
This left everyone confused.
"Master, we are in a hurry to find the eighth person. How can we have time to chat?"
"That's right. The library is in danger of catching fire at any time, and there's a potential eighth person. We don't have the energy to chat."
Everybody is complaining.
Only Li Hanting silently moved two chairs, giving one to Shen Wan and one for himself.
Seeing Li Hanting sitting down calmly.
Lin Dadan hurriedly said: "I understand! Master means that the eighth person is among the seven of us!"
"Ghosts can possess people, it must have possessed someone!"
Xiaomei waved her hands quickly: "It's not me, it's definitely not me!"
Wangzaiman also said: "I have always followed the master, it can't be me."
"Besides me, Xiaomei and Yan'er, the only people who disappeared during the journey were Lin Dabing and Lao Wu!"
Lin Dabao said unhappily: "If it were me, would I say that the eighth person possessed us? Wouldn't that be a cover-up?"
Old Wu cried out in injustice: "I am not possessed by a ghost, I still have my own consciousness!"
"Why are you all looking at me? It's really not me!"
Chen Wan said calmly: "All five of you are suspects. Tell us in detail how you came to the ghost school. Don't miss any details."
Old Wu, who was suspected by everyone, spoke first: "Like the anchor, I don't believe in ghosts in the world. I am an atheist. The reason why I followed the anchor to Laoliu Middle School this time is that someone in the fan group said that Laoliu Middle School is really haunted."
"Of course I didn't believe it, so I started arguing with that person. It just so happened that the anchor was going to explore Laoliu Middle School, so I signed up to participate."
"Then I contacted Wangzai, and we hit it off immediately, so we agreed to go explore the ghost school tonight. Master, you know what happened after we entered the ghost school."
Wangzaiman continued, "Me too. Xiaomei really likes to play this kind of thrilling game. I came here with Xiaomei. After I came in, I just followed everyone and didn't go anywhere, so the eighth person must not be me!"
Yan Er echoed, "I just followed you guys, I don't know anything."
Xiao Mei also said: "Wangzai is right, the three of us and the master have never been separated, it is definitely not the three of us."
The three of them turned their attention to Old Wu and Lin Dadan.
Lin Dare shouted: "I was dragged into the shadow world by the ghost halfway, but I was almost eaten by the ghost. If the ghost wants to possess someone, it should possess someone with a healthy body. I have become a disabled person. How can he escape if he possesses me?"
Several people looked at the person they initially suspected, Old Wu.
Old Wu was so angry that he kicked the bookshelf, "It really wasn't me!"
"Old Wu, I believe you," Wangzai said as he moved away from him, "but I don't believe in cunning ghosts."
Old Wu had no choice but to look to Shen Wan and ask for help: “Master, it really wasn’t me.”
Shen Wan said calmly: "I know it's not you."
"The person in question is indeed among the five of you."
The five of them looked at each other with suspicion.
"Master, please stop keeping us in suspense. Who has the problem?"
Shen Wan raised his hand and pointed at everyone.
Finally, it stops at Yan'er.
Old Wu, Wangzai Nan and Xiaomei were so scared that they hurried away from Yan'er.
"It's not me. I don't know anything." Yan'er explained in panic.
Shen Wan said: "I told you to explain your actions clearly."
"The four of them can all connect to each other, what about you?"
Yan Er said hurriedly, "I also saw in the fan group that they were going to explore Laoliu Middle School tonight, so I came to the agreed location."
Xiao Mei suddenly thought of something: "Oh, right, Wangzai, Lao Wu and I set out together, and then went to the agreed place to wait for Host Lin. Yan'er, you were the last one to get on the bus, and the place where you got on the bus was just a few hundred meters away from Laoliu Middle School!"
Old Wu also shouted, "That's right! I was surprised at the time. We clearly agreed in the group chat that only the three of us would follow Host Lin. How come there's one more person when we're so close to the ghost school!"
"I thought it was a private appointment by anchor Lin."
Lin boldly denied, "I thought she had made an appointment with you guys, I didn't know!"
Now the four of them changed their expressions and stayed away from Yan'er.
Yan Er said helplessly, "It really wasn't me!"
"Master, please help me, I really am not the eighth person."
Shen Wan glanced at Li Hanting, then at her: "I noticed you as soon as you came in."
"Your name is Yan'er, right?"
Yan'er nodded.
"This big brother has a younger sister named Yanyan."
Yan'er looked at Li Hanting, and then asked Chen Wan helplessly, "What does this have to do with me?"
"He and I came to Laoliu Middle School just to find Yanyan."
"I'm not Yanyan, I don't know what you are talking about." Yan'er looked confused.
Shen Wan said: "I know you are not Yanyan, because you are just a bait released by Yanyan."
Li Hanting's face changed, "Bait? Master Shen, where is Yanyan!"
"How am I supposed to explain this to you?"
Shen Wan pointed at the library and the entire school.
"Yan'er is a differentiated part of her, but not the real her. She is here."
“She’s everywhere.”
