The footsteps sounded hurried, like the person was running away from some scary beast. When Chen Ge exited the classroom, he saw the person responsible for it. The 1.8-meter-tall Zhu Jianing rushed out of the female dormitory, screaming for dear life. His face was blanched, and he raced down the corridor like a mad bull.
Zhu Jianing, who had raced out of the female bedroom, did not even have a chance to catch his breath before he saw a shadow moving inside the sealed classroom!
The combination of pain and fear had muddled his mind. Without seeing where he was going, Zhu Jianing saw the first exit and he rushed into it. When he entered, he realized it was the corner toilet.
After giving it some thought, Chen Ge thought it was best if he could get the answer directly from the man. He touched the skin mask on his face before entering the toilet. It was not until he was inside the toilet that Zhu Jianing realized he had taken the wrong turn, but there was nothing else he could do. He yanked open a random cubicle, which was the fourth one and hid inside it.
He clamped his palm over his mouth and squeezed his muscular body to fit beside the toilet, his heart racing and his pupils darting about nervously. Zhu Jianing was really scared out of his mind. When they were playing the Pen Spirit game, he had sat across from Fei Youliang, and while his friend was busy analyzing, he had seen the Pen Spirit slowly appear behind Fei Youliang. When the woman’s bloated face appeared in his mind, he also felt like the air was getting sucked out of his lungs.
“Xiao Zhu? Why are you calling me? Are you guys done with the video?” The squat middle-aged man’s voice came from the other end.
“Brother Yuan, please come in to help me! There are actual ghosts inside this Haunted House!” Zhu Jianing’s voice was trembled with tears. “I don’t know how long much longer I can hold on. There are god knows how many ghosts looking for me.”
“Isn’t it normal for Haunted House to have ghosts?” The middle-aged man thought Zhu Jianing was joking.
“Not ghosts played by actors but actual ghosts!” Zhu Jianing hissed urgently. He did not dare raise his voice lest the ‘ghosts’ outside heard him.
The middle-aged man finally noticed the seriousness in Zhu Jianing’s voice. “Give the phone to Youliang, let me talk to him.”
“Brother Liang was possessed by the ghost; he is still trapped inside that cursed bedroom.”
“Possessed?”
“I saw it with my own eyes; the ghost was standing on his shoulders. It was a hanging ghost, the face was purplish white, and her eyes were popping out from their sockets!”
“Standing on his shoulders? You guys were assaulted by the workers? Okay! We’re going in now!”
“Not the workers, it’s real ghost; there are no worker inside this Haunted House…” Before Zhu Jianing could finish, footsteps came from the toilet entrance. “Has the ghost entered‽”
“What are you talking about? Hello?” The middle-aged man’s voice came from the phone. Afraid that it might catch the ghost’s attention, Zhu Jianing quickly ended the call.
He did not know when the door before him would be pulled open, and he did not know what might be beyond the door. Various scary images filled his mind like the scary woman’s face appearing behind the door or a school uniform fluttering on its own into his cubicle.
CREAK…
The door to the first cubicle was pushed open. The old wooden door creaked audibly, and it caused Zhu Jianing to hold his breath in fear. After a small pause, the second cubicle door was pushed open.
After sighing in relief, Zhu Jianing called the middle-aged man’s number again. As the light shone on his phone, he saw something reflected on the phone display. He looked behind him, and on top of the door of the third cubicle, a disjointed face was silently looking at him.
