Xie Jialin's whole body stiffened, his eyes suddenly widened and his gaze became dull.
He twisted his neck and looked back tremblingly.
The dim light in the restroom fell on the black hair, forming a halo. The drooping bangs cast the slender eyes in shadow, leaving only the high nose tip and the thin lips stretched into a straight line exposed under the light.
The pair of bright black eyes met the squad leader's gaze. In the face of the other's creepy expression and terrified eyes, the straight lips slightly curved upwards.
Showing a very kind and gentle smile.
"ah--!!!"
Xie Jialin didn't appreciate it. He took a few steps back and almost stepped on Li Bin's foot. His eyes were wide open and his mouth was open wide enough to fit a goose egg. From his chest to the vocal cords in his throat, he let out a sharp scream from the inside out.
He looked like the famous painting "The Scream".
“Ring, ring, ring…”
Coincidentally, the class bell rang, drowning out Xie Jialin's voice.
“Bang!”
“Hoo…Hoo…”
Xie Jialin leaned his back against the door, breathing heavily, his back soaked with cold sweat.
He now locked the toilet door and hid in the toilet cubicle. Li Bin was in the same cubicle with him.
Because Luo Zheyu was standing right between Xie Jialin, Li Bin and the door, Xie Jialin didn't dare to bypass him and escape from the toilet door. He had to settle for the next best thing and hide in the toilet cubicle, and pulled up Li Bin who was still stunned.
"Well……"
Li Bin looked at him in confusion, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"Squad leader, calm down. Yunbo looks a little different than usual, but..."
"Sure enough, you saw it too!"
Xie Jialin interrupted him, leaning his back against the door, and said excitedly.
"I-I actually think it's okay. He used to be gloomy all the time, but I'm used to it."
"Besides, you said he is, he is... that thing, if he is really that thing, is it useful for us to hide in the cubicle? He watched us hide in there..."
As soon as the words fell.
The temperature around me suddenly became icy cold, and goose bumps appeared on my exposed skin.
"Bang."
The wooden board of the left compartment was tapped lightly, making a crisp sound.
The sound was like someone bending his fingers and tapping a wooden board.
They slowed down their breathing for a moment, and in the small, dim compartment, they stared at each other, both becoming nervous.
Li Bin suddenly held his breath and pointed diagonally upwards.
Xie Jialin's heartbeat quickened, and he looked in the direction he pointed - above the wooden board of the left compartment, there was a skinny hand scratching on it, and four sharp and dirty fingers were exposed to the two of them.
The nails were extremely thin and the fingers were unusually long, like a few old branches. They were definitely not human hands.
In an instant, the two felt a chill on their backs, their scalps tingled, and their bodies became stiff and unable to move.
However... Li Bin's finger suddenly changed direction quietly, pointing to the bottom of the left compartment without leaving a trace.
Xie Jialin's eyes rolled up, he felt dizzy, opened his mouth slightly, and inhaled slowly, like a thirsty fish, and he didn't dare to look again.
Poking his stomach, Li Bin ignored the squad leader's almost collapsed mood and insisted on motioning him to look down.
When Xie Jialin looked down, his originally dark-skinned face suddenly turned pale and he almost cried!
Under the partition, in the narrow and dark gap between the wooden board and the ground, a pair of cold eyes were quietly watching them from the opposite side.
Staring straight ahead without blinking, filled with hatred and cruelty.
It was unknown how long the other party looked at them like this.
"Bang."
There was another slight sound, and the sharp and terrifying claws climbing on the wooden board of the left compartment disappeared, and the other party retracted them.
Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the claw suddenly stretched out from under the wooden board of the compartment, turned into a black shadow, and snaked in like a snake, stretching towards the ankles of the two men!
"ah--!!!"
Xie Jialin jumped up in shock, stomping his feet on the ground, and hugged Li Bin together. The two were in close contact, face to face, and screamed in shock.
"Ouch! You stepped on me!"
Li Bin cried out in pain.
"Shh...look!"
The five-fingered black shadow transformed from the claw stopped when it was only half an inch away from the two of them, and slowly retreated in the direction it came from involuntarily, as if it was being dragged back by something else. The five-fingered black shadow turned back into a claw and gripped the edge of the toilet tightly to stop being dragged away.
Soon, another hand reached out tremblingly and quickly, ignoring Xie Jialin and Li Bin who were standing tightly against the other side of the wooden board of the cubicle, and grabbed the edge of the toilet bowl.
A twisted, deformed, dirty black head slowly poked out from the gap under the wooden board of the compartment, and the pair of eyes, one big and one small, on the head glared at the two men with resentment.
"ah!"
Li Bin screamed again, tears streaming down his face.
But his mouth was covered by a hand, and he looked over with tearful eyes.
"It, Yunbo, who do you choose?"
Xie Jialin asked with a pale face and a serious expression, his other hand on the compartment door lock, ready to open the door and rush out at any time.
Outside the door is Yunbo, and inside the door is this ghost.
The squad leader was too panicked just now and didn't think he could escape at all. He was so frightened at this moment that it seemed as if he had exceeded the threshold. His brain resumed its thinking function and he tried to find a way to escape while the evil ghost was paused for unknown reasons.
"cloud……"
As soon as Li Bin uttered a word, Xie Jialin covered his mouth tightly with his hands again.
Under his confused, confused, panicked and frightened gaze, Xie Jialin quickly explained: "Think carefully, Yunbo is also a ghost!"
Only then did he let go.
"I choose Yunbo! After all, he used to be one of us!"
Li Bin was afraid that the sturdy squad leader would deprive him of the right to speak again, so he spoke very quickly.
There was another reason he didn't mention, after all, Yunbo looked quite normal, even handsome.
Compared to the ghost in front of him who can scare people to tears as soon as he appears, he is so amiable and kind.
Facts have proved that people really judge by appearance.
The squad leader opened the door lock without hesitation. At the moment of escaping, he saw from the corner of his eye that the ghost was pulled hard. Its sharp claws scratched the edge of the toilet and the floor, leaving deep marks, but it could not prevent itself from being dragged away and disappeared in the cubicle with a "whoosh".
Yunbo went somewhere unknown and was not blocking the toilet exit.
To the left of the toilet cubicle they came out of, there seemed to be a faint flickering silver-white light, swaying and shaky, reflected from the gap.
Xie Jialin and Li Bin did not dare to stay and rushed out of the toilet, running into a group of teachers and students who had heard the screams and rushed over quickly.
Except for the first time Xie Jialin screamed, the sound was covered by the school bell, but the subsequent screams were heard clearly by people in the entire school and several buildings.
…………
Finally caught it.
Luo Zheyu grabbed the black shadow's legs and pulled it over with force. After the ghost's entire body was dragged over, a silver-white flame came quietly and swallowed and burned the counterattacking ghost.
Step on its body so that it cannot escape.
Being contaminated by the soul-devouring flame, it certainly couldn't escape. However, there were so many people in the school, and it would be bad if it ran out and rampaged around, scaring the children.
The fire flickered, and the light and shadow were reflected on the face, flickering. The fire should have been burning, but it made the unfamiliar face look a little cold and hard.
This ghost was harming people everywhere. It was nowhere to be found during the day and never came out to cause trouble, but at night, it could not wait to come out...
Perhaps in this world full of negative energy, there are still significant restrictions on ghosts.
…………
After returning to the classroom, the teacher did not blame Luo Zheyu for not entering the classroom on time. Instead, he took him and Xie Jialin to the office and psychological counseling room respectively.
This was because Xie Jialin and Li Bin made too much noise, and coupled with what happened during the day, the school was worried that the two might have psychological problems.
After returning home with Yun Xiaoduo and having a simple midnight snack, Luo Zheyu lied that he was tired and went back to his room to rest.
Yun Xiaoduo did not doubt him and comforted him with a few words, her eyes filled with worry.
23:45:15
Luo Zheyu left Yunbo's home.
23:48:08
Arrive at the bus stop closest to your home.
at the same time.
"Goodbye! Goodbye, Manager Wang!"
"Be careful on the road, both of you~"
"Tell us when you get home."
"Yes, I will!"
The two women stood at the door of the KTV arm in arm, waving goodbye to their colleagues and superiors.
"Hiccup~"
One of the women with a ponytail burped, smelling slightly of alcohol.
"Xu Xiaoyu, how much did you drink?" asked another woman with long hair, fanning the air with her hands.
"Not much, just two beers. It just smells bad, but it's nothing. I like to burp when I drink."
This was a party organized internally by the company. We had dinner, sang songs, and drank casually, just for the sake of showing it. It was not like usual drinking with clients, where it was like a competition and we had to hold on.
"Oh no! It's 11:50 and we're going to be late for the last bus. If we walk faster, maybe we can still catch it."
Xu Xiaoyu screamed into the phone, then quickly grabbed the woman with long hair and ran away.
"Eh... it's too late, right? It takes more than ten minutes to run from here, and the shuttle bus stops at twelve o'clock."
The long-haired woman ran only a few steps before her body, which had not been exercised on a daily basis, became breathless and she began to back down.
"But it's so expensive to take a taxi back from here! It's across the district, and it will cost more than 60 yuan..."
"Run faster now, maybe you can catch up."
23:59:02
"Huh...Huh...it's only one minute until twelve o'clock. The bus should have stopped running, right? It's impossible for us to wait until twelve o'clock to start from the starting point."
The long-haired woman bent over, holding onto the bus stop sign, and panted.
"Huh... I ran for nothing. I'm so tired."
"You can't say that... huh... how can it be considered a wasted trip?"
Xu Xiaoyu was not much better than her, gasping for breath.
"At least, at least by running here and running a distance, I can... huh... I can save some money on the bus fare!"
23:59:40
"Ha...Xu Xiaoyu, you money-grubber, can you save one dollar or two dollars?"
The long-haired woman curved her eyebrows and smiled.
"Not only that, I can save at least three dollars!"
Xu Xiaoyu was very proud.
23:59:59
"Eh? Xu Xiaoyu, look, isn't that bus No. 14 coming over there? It's actually still there at this time!"
The long-haired woman suddenly pointed at the corner of the street and shouted.
"Huh? Is that so... Why didn't I see it..." Xu Xiaoyu narrowed his eyes and looked carefully in the direction she pointed.
It was pitch black, with only a dim street lamp several meters away illuminating the road. The trees standing quietly on both sides of the road were dark blue, like silent monsters in the fog.
"It's right there! It's so obvious. Xu Xiaoyu, are you drunk?"
“No way…”
Xu Xiaoyu frowned. No matter how she looked over there, it was empty. Not to mention a huge bus, there wasn't even a bird or a cat.
But my friend did see the bus, and his surprised look was real, he was not kidding.
Xu Xiaoyu shook his head and looked again, and sure enough, he saw an extended bus that seemed to suddenly appear in the middle of the road, driving slowly towards them with its high beams illuminating the road ahead.
Above the front of the bus, the number 1 on bus No. 14 seemed to be broken, the red light dimmed, and only the number 4 remained still as bright red as blood.
The light was so dazzling that it made the long-haired woman's face appear pale.
"...I'm not really drunk, am I? Also, is there an extended version of this bus? I've never seen one before..."
Seeing the bus slowly approaching, the long-haired woman waved at the bus and said with a smile: "Xu Caimi, this time you can save more than three dollars."
