The physical education teacher looked in the direction where the student's finger was pointing, was stunned at first, then quickly reacted and asked everyone to send the student to the infirmary immediately.
The infirmary can only treat minor injuries and colds, and cannot stitch major wounds.
So everyone rushed the person to the hospital.
Most of the students who were still in the playground were feeling panic-stricken at this moment.
They were at the scene at the time and were absolutely sure that Tang Ke had not fallen down and had not been suddenly attacked by anyone. So where did the wound on his mouth come from
Chen Ling looked at the German Shepherd wagging its tail at his feet and blinked at it.
The German Shepherd immediately lay down on the ground obediently, tilted his head back and made a cute whimpering sound from his throat.
After all this, the students were in a state of panic. The PE teacher was nowhere to be seen. The PE committee member stepped out and said, "Let's disperse first. Everyone is free to move around."
Chen Ling went to the infirmary by himself, asked the teacher for some iodine to wipe the wound, and simply wrapped it with a layer of breathable cotton gauze.
Just at this time, the meal ordered for Wu Weiwei arrived. He went straight to the back door of the school, took the food from the iron fence, and delivered it to Chenzhou Building.
When Wu Weiwei received the meal, he almost burst into tears, "Brother Chen is still good to me."
"…" Chen Ling felt guilty and forgot his friends because of the beauty, so he spoke vaguely, "It's my duty."
When Wu Weiwei bent down to unpack, he saw a bulge on Chen Ling's knee. He reached out and poked it, and heard his brother Chen gasp.
"Are you hurt?" He put down the takeaway and quickly pulled up Chen Ling's loose trouser legs. A little blood was seeping out of the gauze.
Chen Ling put his trouser legs down and said, "I fell accidentally, it's okay, you eat first."
"How about I take you to the hospital?" Wu Weiwei was worried.
"It's really okay." Chen Ling picked up the takeaway and pretended to leave. "If you keep talking nonsense, don't eat."
"No more talking, no more talking. If I don't eat, I'll starve to death."
Wu Weiwei hurriedly snatched the food, unwrapped it and took a few big bites.
He swallowed his food with great effort, wiped his mouth, and said, "Brother Chen, during the few hours I've been squatting here, I've always felt that something is wrong with this building. It's eerie, and I can hear something knocking from time to time."
Chen Ling was stunned for a moment, then squatted closer, "What's that sound?"
Wu Weiwei shook his head, "I can't really explain it... It was a very clear clang clang clang sound."
Chen Ling listened carefully, and the sound was no longer there.
His knees ached as he was squatting on the steps, so he stood up and was about to check on Principal Jin when a clanging sound suddenly rang out.
The sound permeated the entire floor and it was impossible to identify the direction of its source.
Chen Ling signaled Wu Weiwei to continue eating while he went to check. Just as he raised his foot, Principal Jin, who was lying above the stairs, woke up.
He held his forehead, groaned in pain, and sat up from the ground.
Apparently, he also heard the sound and looked around in panic.
Perhaps thinking of his previous ghost experience, he quickly stood up, held on to the wall, and walked downstairs with weak legs.
Chen Ling retracted his foot, lifted Wu Weiwei, and signaled him to move quickly.
While eating, Wu Weiwei followed his brother Chen to retreat to the first floor. The two of them sneaked into the angle between the stairs and the ground on the first floor like thieves.
Principal Jin ran madly all the way and nearly fell down several times. When he had already run down the floor and stepped into the corridor, he seemed to be held back by something and slowly backed away.
On the wall, dark red words read: Red Dress.
On the day Fan Xiaozhou died, there was no one else in the school except him and Tao Zhiyong. Apart from him and Tao Zhiyong, no one knew about Fan Xiaozhou's red dress.
Right now, Tao Zhiyong is being held in the police station and has not been released yet, so who left the words on the wall? !
Could it be that on that day eight years ago, there was a third person hiding in the dark
If that was the case, why would that person conceal it for them instead of reporting it? It was a contradiction, too contradictory, and he quickly rejected this guess.
Principal Jin was so caught up in the past and his doubts that he even forgot to be afraid.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at the words again, then slowly stood up and leaned forward to smell them.
It's the smell of blood.
Principal Jin staggered back a few steps, his heart gripped by such great fear that he even forgot how to breathe.
The short period of holding his breath made his face red and his veins swollen. After his breathing was restored, he took several deep breaths and went upstairs again step by step.
If there was no third person present at the time, then it is possible that Fan Xiaozhou's body was discovered! The words I just saw must have been deliberately frightened by someone, so as to take the opportunity to blackmail him!
Yes, that must be the case! Principal Jin became more and more certain of his guess, and his movements became faster and faster.
Chen Ling and Wu Weiwei came out from the corner together, followed all the way, and found that Principal Jin finally stopped in the corridor on the sixth floor.
He had his back to the stairs, his head moving as if he was looking for something.
After a while, he walked along the corridor, stopped in the middle of the corridor, and looked up at the cameras with flashing green lights at both ends.
Principal Jin was very smart. He would not leave any evidence of his wrongdoing in anyone's hands, so he did not go to the place where Fan Xiaozhou's body was. He just walked there leisurely as if taking a stroll.
This alone is enough to confirm that the body hiding place is intact and has not been discovered.
Principal Jin stopped at the staircase opening at the end of the corridor. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He realized that the bloody words at the east staircase entrance on the first floor might be a trick by someone!
"Who's there!" Principal Jin turned around quickly and walked back.
He walked faster and faster, and finally he just ran, but there was no one at the bottom of the stairs.
At this time, Chen Ling and Wu Weiwei had already run out of the building and hid in the dense bushes outside.
Wu Weiwei: "Could it be that Fan Xiaozhou is..."
Chen Ling covered his mouth and warned him in a whisper: "Don't make a sound."
Principal Jin came out of the building. He looked around sharply, as if sensing something, and suddenly turned around to look at the bushes.
It was dusk now, darker than before, and everything was tinged with an orange glow.
He narrowed his eyes, walked down the stairs of Shenzhou Tower and headed to the right.
Wu Weiwei nervously pressed his body to the ground, his heart beating like thunder, and every cell in his body clamoring.
Chen Ling was not in a much better situation. His entire head was almost buried in the bushes. If Principal Jin really came over, he would only need to lower his head to see his raised butt.
A "hahahaha" breathing sound was heard, and a German Shepherd's head came in. It followed Chen Ling's example, raising its butt and lying on the ground, with its ears moving playfully back and forth.
Chen Ling: “…”
Chen Ling didn't dare to make a sound, so he could only freeze his movements and said to it, "Go and lead that person away, go quickly."
The German Shepherd didn't understand at first, and moved his head back and forth in the bushes, making them rustle.
Chen Ling was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and reached out to hold its head down.
Wu Weiwei was dumbfounded. It was bad enough that the leaves were rustling, but what was Brother Chen doing? He was putting on a show by himself without any props.
Principal Jin was only a few steps away from the bushes. He was also very nervous, fearing that his guess would come true and that the person who was trying to defraud him was carrying a weapon and hiding in the bushes.
He held his breath, walked lightly, and was about to tiptoe to take a look when a dog barked.
Immediately afterwards, a black shadow jumped out from the bushes in front of him, crouched on the ground with its upper body, staring at him murderously.
"Fuck! Where did this wild dog come from?" Principal Jin was so frightened by the ferocious appearance of the German Shepherd that he staggered back a step, his heart trembling, and turned around and ran away.
While running, he kept looking back, thinking about asking the security guard to notify the dog catching office to take the dog away.
Wu Weiwei stood up from the bushes, looked at the dog that appeared out of nowhere, and then looked at Chen Ling: "What's going on?"
Chen Ling waved at the German Shepherd and touched its wet nose. "This is the pet dog your brother Jiang gave you."
God damn pet dog!
This is clearly the soul of a dog that has been dead for who knows how many years!
Wu Weiwei was full of admiration. A great god is a great god. The gifts he gave were not something that ordinary people could afford.
He looked at the German Shepherd carefully, squatted down, and tried to gain the other party's favor by lowering his posture.
The German Shepherd recognized Chen Ling, and only ran over happily after getting his approval, and nudged Wu Weiwei's palm with its head in a friendly manner.
The German Shepherd is tall, has thick fur, and is majestic. When it lies on the ground obediently and asks for petting, it can greatly satisfy humans' desire for conquest.
Wu Weiwei is one of them.
Chen Ling coughed lightly and said to Wu Weiwei, "Principal Jin has already been alerted. We must go up as soon as possible to confirm the location of Fan Xiaozhou's body."
Wu Weiwei: "How about calling the police first?"
"I called the police and they said there might be a body in the wall, but we're not sure where it is. Can you please tear down the entire sixth floor?"
"…" Wu Weiwei, "Then I'll help you keep watch."
Chen Ling, "No need, this building should be sealed."
Wu Weiwei followed Chen Ling's gaze and saw Principal Jin running over with several security guards. Principal Jin was not at all guilty and smiled in front of Chen Ling, saying that the building was sealed off because he found cracks in the wall when he was checking here, and he was afraid that the building was unstable and needed repairs.
After saying that, Principal Jin stared at Chen Ling sharply: "Student, why are you here?"
Chen Ling: "It was free time during physical education class. I heard the dog barking and came over."
Principal Jin frowned, remembering that Chen Ling had specifically mentioned that he wanted to perform a ritual in Chenzhou Tower. He felt a little suspicious, but he didn't show it on his face. He planned to check the surveillance privately.
Chen Ling looked back with a smile.
Principal Jin turned his eyes away, put his fist to his mouth and coughed, then pointed out one of the security guards, "Take a stick and go find that dog. If you kill it, we can have dog meat hotpot tonight. If you can't kill it, call the dog catcher to come over."
The German Shepherd, who had disappeared, growled at the words.
Chen Ling glanced at it. Although the German Shepherd was unwilling, it still obediently returned to the young man's feet with its tail between its legs.
Principal Jin felt cold all over, especially his calves.
He stamped his feet a few times and glanced at Chen Ling and Wu Weiwei meaningfully: "Those who should go to class should go back to class, and those who should go to work should go back to the door to be on duty. Don't hang around."
There are more pressing matters at the moment, and Principal Jin has no time to test anything.
He turned to look at the security guards, "You guys, go to the monitoring room in the building and take out all the memory cards. Then check the building thoroughly, lock every door and window, and seal off the building completely."
Chen Ling was afraid that staying would only increase suspicion, so he exchanged a glance with Wu Weiwei and the two went their separate ways.
Back in the classroom, He Wanwan trotted over and said, "Where have you been? A classmate just gave me a large band-aid."
He handed over the band-aid in his pocket and pointed to a girl not far away and said, "She gave it to me. She's the most beautiful girl in our class, Feng Miao."
Chen Ling looked at the class beauty, a pretty girl with a delicate figure. When she realized that he was looking at her, she blushed and pursed her lips as she walked over. "Chen Ling, is your wound okay? This band-aid was bought by my father from abroad. It has a hemostatic effect and is very breathable. Try it."
Chen Ling rolled up his trouser legs to reveal the gauze on his knees. "It's already been bandaged, so there's no need for a Band-Aid. But thank you anyway."
The class beauty twisted her fingers in disappointment and hummed softly.
He Wanwan's eyes flickered between the two of them. After the class beauty left, she nudged her deskmate's arm with her elbow and said, "Sure. It's been less than a day and even the class beauty is interested in you."
She held her cheek and looked at Chen Ling's face carefully. He was indeed very handsome.
Chen Ling glared at her and put his trouser legs down. "Don't talk nonsense. Besides, I have a boyfriend."
After saying this, he felt a little uneasy and looked up at the German Shepherd lying under the stands of the playground.
The German Shepherd's eyes were dark, like a deep dry well, staring at people so hard that their scalps tingled.
Chen Ling felt a chill on the back of his neck. He coughed lightly and turned his face away to continue chatting with He Wanwan.
Not long after, the bell rang and everyone dispersed. Most of them ran to the canteen to buy popsicles.
Chen Ling fell behind and turned to look at the tallest building.
Principal Jin was already frightened. Even if he would not return to the sixth floor to check on the body, he would go to Tao Zhiyong to tell him about what happened today.
I just don't know whether Tao Zhiyong will take the bait and follow Principal Jin to the school to check it out.
And the Thousand-Armed and Thousand-Eyed Guanyin tattoo on his back needs to be removed when possible.
Chen Ling thought as he walked and slowly returned to the classroom. The German Shepherd followed closely behind him. Taking advantage of the fact that no one could see, the dog jumped and danced all the way like a little madman.
As soon as the young man sat down, it immediately squatted on the ground and lazily rested its head on the young man's thigh.
Chen Ling thought that this German Shepherd was just a temporary worker who would leave when the time came after finishing his work. However, it refused to leave until school was over in the afternoon.
Chen Ling came to a deserted corner, grabbed one of its ears and asked, "Why are you so clingy?"
The German Shepherd made a whimpering sound, its watery eyes full of confusion, as it couldn't understand what the biped was saying.
Chen Ling stared at those eyes and frowned. A trace of doubt flashed through his mind. He moved his lips a few times, but in the end said nothing, but sneered in his heart.
In order to integrate into school life, Chen Ling did not plan to have a special dinner at home.
He carried the food tray and led the German Shepherd to quickly find Ji Nan.
Ji Nan was surrounded by several people, shivering his shoulders and muttering something.
Chen Ling walked over and put the plate on the table. The others had heard a little about this newly selected player and raised their eyebrows, looking like they were going to watch a good show: "Hey, newcomer, the time for the Poker Bridge game is not fixed. Please pray to the gods and Buddha more recently. Don't jump off the building like Cheng Le when you lose."
Chen Ling: "As long as I don't do anything wrong, I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door. What should I be afraid of?"
Several people pointed at Chen Ling with fierce expressions, then turned around and left.
The German Shepherd growled with a ferocious look in its eyes, as if it was about to pounce. Chen Ling quickly took advantage of Ji Nan's inattention and patted the dog's head as a warning.
Ji Nan didn't breathe a sigh of relief until those people left, and sat down opposite Chen Ling, "Thank you."
"Why didn't you tell me that Zhou Yuanxin had looked for you?" Chen Ling went straight to the point with a slightly stern tone.
Ji Nan froze, "I..." He swallowed a few times and absentmindedly stirred the oil-free soup with a spoon, "I'm afraid you'll tell others, and I'm afraid the school will call someone to exorcise the ghost."
Chen Ling asked back: "Then why didn't you listen to him and leave?"
"I won't leave. Since Zhou Yuanxin is still here, he will definitely avenge me. I want to see what happens to those people!" Ji Nan put down the soup spoon, his face full of anger, but his eyes were a little evasive.
He didn't dare say it out loud because he had selfish motives behind it.
Naturally, he hated those who bullied and humiliated him, and he wanted to witness their pain and fear with his own eyes.
Chen Ling did not expose his little thoughts, but just reminded him: "On July 14th, you should take a leave of absence from school and come back after the 15th."
The Ghost Festival in July is the time of the year when the Yin energy is at its peak. Although the Nine Yin Land is a separate world, who knows if there are other souls lying underground? What if they are stimulated by the Mid-Autumn Festival and jump out from underground to scare people
Ji Nan poked the bowl a few times, lowered his head and continued to eat in silence.
Evening self-study started shortly after lunch. The class was relatively quiet, but if you looked closely you could see that most people were a little absent-minded.
The same is true for He Wanwan.
She secretly glanced at the evening study teacher who was reading a book at the podium, and moved her fingers nimbly in the desk drawer.
Soon after the text message was sent, a reply came from the other end. She sighed, leaned towards Chen Ling, and whispered, "Cheng Le came out of the emergency room. He was seriously injured. I heard that his spinal nerves were damaged and his lower body was temporarily paralyzed. It may take a long time for him to recover."
Chen Ling was burying his head in his arms, playing with the big dog lying at his feet. Hearing this, he immediately looked up and moved the pile of books on the desk to cover his face. "Who told you that?"
"The girl from the next class, who is close to Cheng Le, asked for leave to go to the hospital." He Wanwan sighed, "Cheng Le is in a miserable state too. He definitely can't come to school anymore."
Chen Ling just felt that he deserved it.
Zhou Yuanxin was merciful and did not kill the man, but just made him suffer some physical pain.
He Wanwan: "Our class will definitely have to organize people to go and see it, and we may have to pool money to buy comfort items or something. Will you go?"
"Go ahead." Chen Ling didn't want to appear too special, so he had to follow the main force.
He Wanwan's guess was correct. After the second evening self-study get out of class, the students gathered together to discuss whether they should go see Cheng Le. If possible, they would assign two people to go see Tang Ke.
After Tang Ke was sent to the hospital, he did not return with the physical education teacher.
According to the teacher, he had eight stitches on his mouth, and when the anesthetic wore off, he cried out in pain. Tang Ke's parents came and grabbed the physical education teacher, insisting that his son be bullied by his classmates.
The physical education teacher was also helpless. Everyone around him knew that his son suddenly fell to the ground and before anyone could move, a cut appeared on his mouth.
The Tang family didn't believe it, so the physical education teacher directly notified the school and asked the security room to check the surveillance footage and send the playground video to his mobile phone.
The Tang family's masters were dumbfounded and could not say anything. After a long time, Mrs. Tang shouted that it was a ghost and left in a hurry with her husband and son.
The physical education teacher guessed that they probably took their son to the temple to find a master.
"Forget about it, Tang Ke. I also think it's quite weird. Not only did he fall down, but his mouth was rotten like that." The girl showed a look of disgust after saying this.
The boy next to him also said: "I was right next to him at the time and saw it clearly. He was cursing when a cut suddenly appeared on his mouth, as if he had been scratched by some sharp claws."
"You guys think, could it be Zhou Yuanxin... I remember he threw garbage at Zhou Yuanxin before."
"Let's change the subject so late at night. It sounds creepy."
The last evening self-study session ended at nine o'clock. When the bell rang, everyone ran out one after another like birds that had been set free.
Chen Ling, with his schoolbag hanging on one shoulder, was the last one to come.
When he arrived at the dormitory, the other three people inside had already returned and were whispering about something.
One of them was the first to notice the person standing at the door and signaled to the others to shut up. Then the talking stopped and several people turned around to do their own things, looking like they were busy and asked not to be disturbed.
Chen Ling walked in and threw his schoolbag onto the upper bunk on the right. The mat and bedding distributed by the school were thrown on top of it intact.
Chen Ling has been lucky these years, and he was always assigned lower bunks in the dormitory when he was studying.
He had no experience climbing the bed, and his movements were a bit clumsy at first. Even the German Shepherd couldn't stand it and kept using his head to push the young man's butt. Just as he was about to climb up, the classmate on the lower bunk was unhappy, "Don't touch my curtain."
Chen Ling took a look and found that his toes were a million miles away from the curtain of the lower bunk. He took a deep breath and told himself not to get angry, as the little brat was just talkative.
After finally getting into my own bunk and shaking out the mattress to prepare to lie down, the person on the lower bunk started to act up again.
"Can you please stop moving around and making the bed creak? Someone might think we're doing something bad."
The other two paused what they were doing, then burst into laughter.
"You are so mean, what are you talking about?"
"What kind of bad thing is the kind of bad thing we see in movies?" As soon as he finished laughing, he froze.
The person next to him touched him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Ling glanced at the German Shepherd standing in the middle of the dormitory, ready to pounce on the three people at any time, and silently mouthed the words "Come up".
After the big furry pet jumped onto the bed and lay down obediently at the foot of the bed, he looked at the corner of a playing card sticking out from the man's butt.
I couldn't help but sneer, "What else can I do?"
Chen Ling climbed down from the upper bunk, walked to the classmate, reached out and pulled out the playing card, the four of spades.
"How could it be..."
"Xiang Yong, you have never bullied Zhou Yuanxin, so why is it your turn now?"
Suddenly, there was a clanging sound in the room.
The sound came from the cabinet near the window, similar to the sound of a porcelain cup colliding with a spoon.
Everyone turned their heads to look, not knowing if it was an illusion, but there seemed to be a person standing in front of the window with his back to them, a shadowy figure. They all closed their eyes, rubbed them, and opened them again—
There was nothing in front of the window except two clean buckets.
The others didn't see it clearly enough, but Chen Ling realized that it was Zhou Yuanxin.
Zhou Yuanxin was helping him teach a lesson to those roommates who laughed at him.
Chen Ling retracted his gaze and handed the cards in his hand to its owner. These people were malicious towards him simply because he got the playing cards and they thought he was unlucky. Now, there was one more participant in the dormitory.
He smiled and stuffed the playing cards into Xiang Yong's hand, who was motionless, and shook his hand sincerely, congratulating him: "Classmate, congratulations on winning the prize too."
