"Hu Yi is not quite right today." After school, Jiang Lei looked at Hu Yi who was walking a few steps ahead of them.
"What's the matter?" Huo Ran glanced at the back of Hu Yi's head, "I'll go ahead when I want to talk to you guys."
"It's not this," Jiang Lei said. "He talks too little today, it's not normal."
"Well," Xu Zhifan nodded, "I also think that he came too late today."
"Do you want to ask?" Huo Ran said.
"Don't ask for now. If he doesn't say anything tomorrow, he will ask again." Xu Zhifan said.
"Okay," Huo Ran stretched, "Are you free at night?"
"What time?" Xu Zhifan asked.
"12 o'clock." Huo Ran said.
"Fuck, I'm not free, I fell asleep for three rounds at 12 o'clock," Jiang Lei said. "What are you doing then? Night training?"
"I won't accompany you to train at night." Xu Zhifan said immediately.
"Go to the ghost house." Huo Ran said.
"Self-study at night?" Jiang Lei asked, "What kind of good student are you pretending to be?"
"Your good student ran to school at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night to study at night!" Huo Ran frowned, "Go to the real ghost building."
"What?" Jiang Lei was stunned.
"Why?" Xu Zhifan said at the same time as him.
Hu Yi, who was walking in front, also turned his head: "Are you sick?"
"Just say whoever is free to accompany me," Huo Ran said, "I made an appointment with Kou Chen to go to the ghost house."
"Then Kou Chen can accompany you." Jiang Lei said.
"Go away!" Huo Ran pointed at him.
"Kou Chen," Xu Zhifan looked at Jiang Lei, "it's Kou Chen."
"Fuck? Kou Chen? You made an appointment with him to go to the ghost building? What are you doing? You said it earlier, just block him in the classroom and don't let him go, and it's over," Jiang Lei hated iron. It was a fool's expression, "Why are you going to the ghost building with him! Ghost! Building! Ghost!"
"I'm only going back to the dormitory next week, what excuse do you have to come out tonight?" Xu Zhifan asked.
"Night training," Huo Ran said, "Besides, my parents fell asleep at eleven o'clock, and they couldn't hear the big rope jumping in my living room."
"The two of you are definitely not playing, are you betting or fighting, do you have someone to accompany you according to the rules?" Xu Zhifan asked again.
"The rule of the fart is not to accompany me into the ghost house," Huo Ran gritted his teeth, "Just scare Kou Chen out before 1 o'clock. To be exact, just let him go out in front of me."
Several people looked at him together, and it took a long time for Jiang Lei to say, "Are you cheating?"
"Forget it," Huo Ran patted him on the shoulder, "and it's more difficult than digging out a cheat sheet from the steel pipe of the table leg. Will you accept this challenge?"
"It's a chair leg." Xu Zhifan corrected him.
"Accept it?" Huo Ran asked.
"I don't want to accept it," Jiang Lei said. "If I go, there is only one reason, that is, I am afraid that something will happen to you."
Huo Ran stepped forward and hugged Jiang Lei.
The night in September was quite comfortable. Kou Chen leaned against the stone tablet in front of the ghost building, looked at the road in front of him, and had headphones in his ears.
It was quite dark all around. Before 10 o'clock, the light on the far side of the playground was still on. After 10 o'clock, there was only moonlight, and everything seemed to have faded.
When it was five minutes away from 12:00, a figure appeared on the far side of the road, walking slowly towards this side.
It should be Huo Ran, Kou Chen sat up straight, tore off the earphone and put it back in his pocket, ready to get up.
But the man stopped after walking for a while. After standing there for a while, he looked like he was digging his pockets. Then Kou Chen saw the light on the screen of the mobile phone, followed by the flashlight on the mobile phone. Came here to take a picture.
However, this distance is a bit far, and the light obviously can't reach Kou Chen's side.
He cut it out, he really didn't understand why Huo Ran dared to promise him to come to the ghost building in the middle of the night, he took out the lighter, put it under his chin, and after thinking about it, he pulled out his teeth.
Then turned on the lighter.
As the firelight illuminated his teeth-baring face from below, the light on the phone over there went out, but before he could make a sound, a strong light hit his eyes.
"Huo Ran, my day, your uncle!" Kou Chen scolded, and quickly covered his eyes with his arm.
Ah actually with a strong flashlight! Just looking at his face like this, he felt like he was going to ascend to the sky, and his whole body was full of white flowers.
Huo Ran was silent over there, but he didn't move the light away. No matter which direction he turned his face, the beam of light moved with him.
In the end, Kou Chen gave up his resistance, covered his eyes with his arms, and listened to Huo Ran's footsteps and walked straight to him.
"Kou Chen, I am your uncle." Huo Ran turned off the flashlight and said.
Kou Chen felt that it would take a minute before the surrounding scene slowly began to appear in front of him.
"What the hell are you doing?" He stood up and saw Huo Ran's face clearly, "Why don't you just change the time and make an appointment for noon..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound from the ghost building behind him.
crunch —
Kou Chen abruptly turned his head and glanced upstairs. It was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything. When he looked at some places, it was completely black and white, and his eyesight had not fully recovered.
Huo Ran's strong flashlight came on again, this time on the ghost building.
The ghost building is indeed very old. It is an old style. It has three floors. Below is a corridor that goes up the stairs one by one. The corridors are lined up with rooms. … There should be a cloister in the structure, with a patio in the middle, but you can't see it if you don't go in.
These are all Kou Chen's impressions of the ghost building when he came to see it before.
It's not what he sees now, all he can see now is the circle illuminated by Huo Ran's flashlight. The circle is messy in black and white, and it took him a few times to see where the window is.
But it was more scary to understand than not to understand, and twenty different ways for ghosts to appear in the empty window flashed in my mind.
"Turn off your shit," Kou Chen said. "It's more terrifying than being in the dark."
Huo Ran turned off the flashlight: "Afraid? It's too late to admit defeat, don't worry, I won't let you run away if you lose..."
"Let's go." Kou Chen interrupted him, turning around and walking into the building.
Huo Ran looked at his back and hesitated for a second between "Would you like to follow him in?" and "The accomplices shouldn't be in place. What was that sound? Would it be more dangerous for me to stay here?" When he disappeared, he quickly followed.
When he walked to the ghost building, Huo Ran was about to ask if he should go upstairs or go to the first floor, when Kou Chen turned around abruptly and slapped him on the shoulder.
Huo Ran admitted that he was so frightened that he almost turned around and ran away, but he was proud of himself, he controlled it, and in order to strengthen his courage, he shouted: "What are you doing—"
"Fuck!" Kou Chen took a step back, "What are you shouting, scare me!"
"Why the hell are you shooting me! You don't have a mouth!" Huo Ran said.
"If you don't mind, I can touch you with my mouth." Kou Chen said.
"Stupid," Huo Ran scolded, "I don't want to fight with you right now, tell me, why shoot me!"
"I'm..." Kou Chen said as he glanced at the window on the first floor and lowered his voice, "I'm..."
Huo Ran nervously followed him and looked inside, feeling that the hairs on his body stood up and fluttered in the wind.
"I saw someone inside." After Kou Chen said this, he ran upstairs without stopping for a second.
When Huo Ran regained his senses, there was no sign of Kou Chen after a crunch on the stairs.
He suddenly felt a little unsteady, and looked around, Xu Zhifan and the others didn't know where they were hiding, and they were too dedicated. Watching this quiet scene like a ghost, suddenly felt that they didn't know where they were at all. Come!
Thinking of this, Huo Ran couldn't stand, and ran upstairs: "Kou Chen! You didn't say that you would scare each other!"
Kou Chen didn't respond.
Huo Ran stood at the entrance of the stairs on the second floor, which was pitch-dark, and stepped back, leaning against the pillar at the corner, so that theoretically he could see people or things coming from two directions.
But you can't actually see farts either.
When he took out his phone, Kou Chen's voice sounded a few meters away from him: "Come here."
"No." He answered succinctly.
"Then I'm leaving." Kou Chen said.
"Where are you?" Huo Ran asked immediately, turning on the phone's screen and taking a picture.
"Here." Kou Chen leaned his head in the corridor and waved at him.
Huo Ran walked over, and then Kou Chen stuffed the phone back into his pocket: "Don't turn on your phone."
"Huh?" Huo Ran heard something wrong with his voice.
"You smell." Kou Chen whispered.
"Have you farted?" Huo Ran immediately held his breath, "Are you naive?"
"I smell the fire, you idiot." Kou Chen said in his ear, pressing his voice.
Huo Ran hesitated for a moment, took a light breath, and sure enough, he smelled the smell of firewood, but...
"It's not surprising that someone is burning wood," Huo Ran whispered. "It smells like someone used the fire a few hours ago, and it's almost dinner time when you push it back."
Kou Chen looked at him.
"Trust me," Huo Ran said, "you weren't in junior high school when I used firewood to make a fire in the wild."
"I eat barbecue every day." Kou Chen said.
"That's carbon, this is firewood, you idiot." Huo Ran said.
Kou Chen didn't speak, looked at him, and after a while suddenly raised his eyes and looked behind him.
There was a long corridor behind him, and Huo Ran suddenly felt like a refrigerator with an open door standing on his back. After a while, he straightened his back suddenly, and leaned forward subconsciously.
Kou Chen looked at him, his face blurred, but he could still see the flash of ridicule.
"Don't worry," Huo Ran said, "I'm a little scared, but I won't go out."
"Call me when you're scared," Kou Chen said. "You don't even dare to turn your head back. Do you want me to go behind you?"
"No." Huo Ran said immediately.
"I won't poke you suddenly." Kou Chen said.
"I don't believe it," Huo Ran tilted his head, "you go first."
Kou Chen smiled and walked towards the corridor on the second floor. Huo Ran followed behind. After walking there, he should be able to see the corner of the corridor. He planned to go around first to see the situation.
According to Huo Ran's theory that "everyone is afraid of ghosts and is not afraid of it is to pretend", he believes that Kou Chen is also afraid, but Kou Chen is used to pretending, and walking so easily at this moment is just too deep into the play.
He is more sincere, he is afraid, but he can bear it.
And he has accomplices.
Buddy... Huo Ran looked behind him, this is the road, from the playground to the ghost building, from the first floor to the third floor of the ghost building, it is the same road, so Xu Zhifan and the others can only be behind.
But what made Huo Ran uneasy was that there was no movement at the back, and any movement was coming from the front.
When he was thinking about where his accomplice wanted to send a message and ask, suddenly there was a creaking sound from the top of his head.
Kou Chen, who was walking very casually in front, stopped abruptly, and Huo Ran also stopped, turned around, and turned his back to Kou Chen.
The back must be facing the person, and the back cannot be empty.
This building is the same as their teaching building. It has all wooden floors. It is not surprising that there is a creaking when walking, but it must have a certain weight to make this movement. Besides, this sound...
"Did you bring someone here?" Kou Chen asked behind his back.
Huo Ran was very faceless, but he couldn't relax his mouth: "You fucking bring people..."
"Xu Zhifan!" Kou Chen raised his head and called out.
"Fuck." Huo Ran turned around.
"Jiang Lei!" Kou Chen continued, "Hu Yi! Come down, play cards, four to one, and the one who loses stands beside him to help others squeeze their shoulders."
Huo Ran had confidence in Xu Zhifan's IQ, but Jiang Lei and Hu Yi were not very reliable. After Kou Chen said this, he thought that these two might actually show up... He suddenly stopped talking.
But after Kou Chen finished speaking, the surroundings were silent, and there was no sound.
"There is someone upstairs." Kou Chen said.
"Well." Huo Ran suddenly felt that the three really didn't come.
The security duty room at night looks no different from the daytime, and the air smells of smoke and instant noodles.
But the mood is still not the same.
"Really running? Do you go to the school playground to run in the middle of the night?" The uncle of the security sighed and slowly drank the tea from the cup.
"It's really a night run." Xu Zhifan said.
"What about the running shoes we all wear?" Hu Yi raised his legs and showed off the shoes he bought during the summer vacation, "just for running."
"You students, usually wear running shoes..." The uncle of the security said, glancing at their feet.
Xu Zhifan followed him and looked down. Jiang Lei, who was standing behind, took another step back. Xu Zhifan was helpless, Jiang Lei was wearing a pair of sneakers.
"You don't have to report your class and name to me," the security uncle took a notebook and wrote it down, "I know your name is Xu Zhifan, you and the school basketball captain, you guys are in suits, always together, tomorrow I will It will be reported to your head teacher, and you can tell the head teacher the specifics."
"Uncle, you are like this..." Jiang Lei struggled a little.
"Okay," Xu Zhifan replied immediately, "We will explain it to Teacher Yuan tomorrow."
"Well," the uncle security stood up, "I'll take you out and call a car home."
"...No need." The three answered at the same time.
No need, uncle, our partner is still in the ghost building. He can survive alone for a month in the wild, but the single-player ghost building copy may not last for twenty minutes. Uncle, let's go by ourselves, and we can go around the back door and climb the wall. save him from fire and water.
"Go!" The security uncle waved his hand.
Xu Zhifan looked at Jiang Lei and Hu Yi and walked out of the security room.
After bowing his head and walking out of the school gate, Xu Zhifan jerked his legs and ran. Jiang Lei and Hu Yi followed almost at the same time. After ten meters, the three of them turned to the right in unison, which was the closest direction to the back door.
"Go up and take a look?" Kou Chen asked.
"What are you looking at?" Huo Ran wanted to ask if you were fucking sick, knowing that there shouldn't be someone above, but now there are people, go up and catch the thief.
"You really didn't bring anyone?" Kou Chen asked again.
Huo Ran was a little hesitant, he really brought people, but he couldn't tell, but he felt that it was really not Xu Zhifan and the others, but if they were really them... This face is very embarrassing, and the face is full of moon.
At this moment, there was another sound from the roof, this time the sound was moving a distance of one or two meters towards the entrance of the stairs.
"I really didn't bring anyone." Huo Ran raised his head suddenly and said in a low voice.
They could definitely be heard from upstairs, and it was definitely not Xu Zhifan and the others who could make noise at such a time.
There really is someone else upstairs, and this person is walking towards the stairs.
Huo Ran's hair stood up slowly and neatly.
"Damn," Kou Chen said excitedly, "Go up and have a look."
Huo Ran stood still.
Kou Chen took two steps and stopped: "Wait here, or..."
He pointed to the other side of the stairs and said in a low voice, "Run out of the stairs before that person comes down."
After saying this, Kou Chen rushed over there, it seemed that he wanted to block the person who was about to come down on the stairs on the third floor.
Huo Ran stood in the dark in shock and forgot to be afraid, but only now did he realize that Kou Chen really didn't seem to be afraid of ghosts.
But Kou Chen rushed out a few steps and suddenly shouted, "Ah—"
Then he fell back and sat on the ground.
The floor clicked.
Huo Ran rushed over without knowing whether he wanted to save people or was afraid to find someone to get together. He wanted to drag Kou Chen up, but in a panic, he saw a white figure coming from the small platforms at the entrance of the stairs on the second and third floors. It floated out and disappeared without a sound.
"Ah—" He only called out two seconds after Kou Chen had finished shouting.
"Fuck," Kou Chen jumped up and ran over, "Is that a person?"
Huo Ran didn't know how he had the courage to run over immediately, but in order to save face, he had to walk over slowly: "I didn't see it clearly."
"Let's go," Kou Chen pulled the collar, "I was really taken aback just now."
"Okay." Huo Ran nodded immediately, he didn't want to stay here for a second.
The two walked down the stairs and looked around, but they didn't see anything that moved.
What the hell is that
Walking to the bottom of the stairs, Huo Ran sighed, that's alright, we came out together, there was no winner or loser, it was a draw...
Kou Chen stopped suddenly, and Huo Ran didn't stop. He stepped forward and watched him go back one flight of stairs.
"You lost." Kou Chen said.
"What?" Huo Ran was shocked.
