The blood mist shrouded, Chen Ge could only vaguely see the outline of a playground, and the scene in front of him slowly overlapped with the back playground of Muyang Middle School in his memory.
"The well is over there." The old principal took good care of Chen Ge. He seemed to be worried about Chen Ge's accident, so he kept Chen Ge behind and walked in front.
Across the playground, under the leadership of the old principal, Chen Ge finally found the abandoned dry well.
As soon as he approached, he heard all kinds of cries coming from the well, including men, women, and children. It sounded very scary.
"Is the exit at the bottom of the well?" The fog filled the air, and Chen Ge couldn't see what was at the bottom of the well even if he had Yin pupils.
"right."
"You entered the ghost school from here?" When Chen Ge stood by the well, Xu Yin stopped him, as if the well made him uneasy.
"Yes, the blood mist at the bottom of the well is very thick, almost turning into substance. This may also be the key to the dry well's ability to avoid the school's will." The old principal signaled Chen Ge not to stand by the well for a long time to avoid attracting the attention of the school's will. : "Go down to the bottom of the well, there is only one road in it, walk in that direction, after about three to fifteen minutes, you can leave the ghost school and enter the underground of the blood-red city, and then we will find the way to the ground. That's it."
The whole process sounds simple, but there are a lot of things that don't stand up to scrutiny.
Chen Ge held the edge of the well with both hands and looked back at the old principal: "After entering the bottom of the well, it takes three to fifteen minutes to leave the ghost school? Why is there such a difference in time? If the distance is the same, even if the speed is slowed down, it will not matter. There may be such a big error!"
"I can't tell. It's the same road every time, but sometimes it takes a long time, and sometimes it takes a short time. Do you want to go down and have a look first?" The old principal himself didn't understand.
If someone else said that to Chen Ge, not only would Chen Ge not go down, but he would even suspect that the other party was deliberately trying to harm him, and then threw the other party down to explore the way, but the old principal was different, he trusted the old man very much.
"With this back road, I will be invincible, and I can do some things with confidence and boldness, but the premise is that this road is successful, not a dead end."
Chen Ge thought for a long time, and then asked Xu Yin's opinion. After getting Xu Yin's agreement, he decided to go down with the old principal to have a look.
"I went down alone before, and there was no reference. This time we have a lot of people, and we are accompanied by red clothes, so there should be no problem." In order to reassure Chen Ge, the old principal walked to the well first. When he was about to jump off, Chen Ge stopped him again.
"Wait." Chen Ge took out some ropes from Lin Sisi's backpack. This is what he used when he climbed over the wall in the West Campus: "Tie it around the waist to prevent getting lost."
"Why do you have everything?" The old principal was not as surprised as before.
"How deep is this well? Are two ropes enough?"
"Almost." The old principal supported the wall of the well with both hands. Black and red flowers appeared on the old-looking coat, and his eyes were slowly occupied by blood.
Seeing the changes in the old principal's body, Chen Ge realized that the half-length red-clothed in front of him was different from the other half-clothed red-clothes he had encountered.
The old principal gave him a very strange feeling. He couldn't tell. He stood with the old principal, and he would not regard each other as a ghost at all. He felt that the other party was a living person.
"Even in Hongyi, this has never happened. Is it because the old principal did too many good things during his lifetime, and even if he became a ghost, he didn't have a trace of evil and violent aura?"
Watching the old principal disappear into the well, Chen Ge also hurried over, letting Xu Yindian be behind and himself in the middle.
As soon as you enter the dry well, a thick fog of blood blows towards your face. The fog in the dry well is much thicker than the outside. The well does not know why. It seems to be actively absorbing the blood fog full of negative emotions, resulting in a large amount of blood. Fog deposits here.
Entering it is like falling into a blood pool.
With the clothes attached to his body, Chen Ge felt a tingling pain on his skin, as if he had been bitten by someone's teeth, but he used his yin pupils to see that there was nothing on his skin.
"Xu Yin didn't have an early warning, that is to say, it is temporarily safe and everything is under control."
The surroundings were completely shrouded in blood mist, and I couldn't see anything clearly. If Xu Yin hadn't been by his side, Chen Ge wouldn't say anything.
"Isn't it over yet?" The well was much deeper than he imagined, so it's no wonder the ghost school's will didn't notice this loophole.
The more he went down, the more depressed he became. Chen Ge was very worried that the old principal would have an accident. He was afraid that when he went down, the other end of the rope was not the old principal.
The rope was no longer tight, and the figure of the old principal slowly emerged from the well.
Not yet at the bottom of the well, but the old principal stopped.
"Why don't you continue down?" Chen Ge was a little puzzled, he felt that the state of the old principal was not quite right.
"I can't go down..." The old principal's voice was trembling.
Chen Ge moved his body and approached the old principal. He followed the principal's line of sight and broke out in cold sweat.
Under the old principal's feet is no longer a blood-red mist, but a blood-red water surface. What is even more terrifying is that there are people's faces crowded under the water surface!
As the blood mist gathered, the water surface in the abandoned well was still rising at a speed visible to the naked eye. The monsters hiding under the water opened their mouths and seemed to be eager to rush out and bite Chen Ge.
"The last time I came in, there were no these monsters..." The old principal was a little anxious.
"fine."
Chen Ge would say nothing, simply because Xu Yin didn't respond: "I have seen them in the mirror school built by the painter. They have no skin, they are covered in blood, and they exude a pungent stench."
These monsters were no different from the ones Chen Ge had seen before. The only difference was that they were no longer walking upside down.
"How did these monsters form? Do they come from the bloody city outside the school, or is this well where they were born?"
"If the monsters come from the bloody city outside the school, why would I see them in the school in the painter's mirror? And they are all upside down? Could it be that these monsters were raised by the painter? Now the school has changed, too because of him?"
Chen Ge felt that he was one step closer to the core secret, and he gently pulled the rope: "Principal, let's go back first."
"I seem to have seen them somewhere." The old principal stared at the monsters in the well: "They are absorbing blood mist, these guys feed on the negative emotions in people's hearts, I have heard people say it before! But... not right, How did they show up in this well? Why is there so much negativity here?"
"Feeding on the negative emotions in people's hearts? Appearing in the well?" Chen Ge vaguely realized something. He remembered a reminder from the black mobile phone about Muyang Middle School - everyone has an unfathomable well in their hearts. Buried with unspeakable and unforgettable memories.
