Yang Jian put down the phone in his hand and glanced back at the forested area behind him with great dread and fear.
That old man is terrifying.
No matter how many times I’ve encountered it, even if I’m just looking at it from a distance, it’s just as creepy and scary.
"Fang Jing should already be dead right?"
Yang Jian's eyes moved slightly: "The top priority now is to leave this ghost’s domain and stay away from the old man. If I encounter him again, I’m sure that he’ll definitely kill me. Whether it is Zhang Wei, Wang Shanshan and the others, or me, the result will be the same."
So what if I’ve become a ghost user? Zhou Zheng died because of overusing his ghost.
The reason why Zhou Zheng died was definitely because the old man’s danger level is higher than that of the newborn
The newborn was unable to suppress the old man, naturally killing Zhou Zheng due to overuse.
When Zhang Wei saw Yang Jian come back, he was slightly relieved; "Yang Jian, where did you go, did you find Fang Jing? The whole school is haunted, only you are brave enough to run around, I don’t even want to leave where I’m standing."
"Although I got through to Fang Jing's phone, I'm pretty sure he already got killed by a ghost before I got to him."
Yang Jian said: "When I got there, I saw the old man who knocked on the door of our classroom. We can’t go there anymore. The top priority now is to leave here. If we continue staying here, I don't know how many more people will die."
As he finished.
The others went silent, there was fear and even more fear on their faces.
He’s right.
It's only been a few hours. But since the classroom was haunted, we’ve been running away all this time, and in our class of more than forty classmates including the teacher, only so few of us are still alive
All the others are missing.
And it was clear to everyone what it meant to go missing in the haunted school.
They weren’t dreaming or filming a movie, this was the real deal… A deadly one at that.
"Yang Jian, thank you for leading us out. Without you, we would have died for sure."
"Yeah, thank you, I'm sorry for the previous thing. We didn't stop it when Fang Jing pushed you into the toilet. It's only later that we learned that Fang Jing was a demon. He left Zhao Qiang and Wang Gang along the way. Even the female classmates were forcefully left behind by him..."
"That guy is an animal."
Several classmates behind him spoke. They cursed Fang Jing and expressed their apologies to Yang Jian.
Those four people were led by Yang Jian out of the green area, they were the classmates that were with Fang Jing.
He thinks Fang Jing deserves death, but not the others. Since he had found them, leading them out was easy, requiring little effort, as classmates, there was no need to be so cold-blooded.
“It's still too early to thank me. As you all know. We’re still at school, still within the ghost’s domain. Whether we can come out alive is still a question." Yang Jian shook his head.
"I know that all of you are all tired now, but it's not the time to rest. Although I don't know much about the ghost’s domain, we still have to try and do something, follow me, I’ll see if we can get out of the school."
He had become the backbone of these people. After speaking, several people who were sitting on the ground resting immediately stood up.
"One, two, three, four.... There are only 13 people left in a class of forty people. The survival rate is only 30%. God knows who will die next. I should have taken a leave today, other people have to pay money to go to school, we’re paying ith our lives to go to school." Zhang Wei felt a little violent and irritably said.
Others glanced at him, but all of their heads were lowered and they didn't speak, they seemed very depressed and were in a very bad state.
If there is no hope of surviving anymore, Yang Jian believes that they would not be far from a mental breakdown, because he saw that there were already girls with pale faces, beginning to talk to themselves.
"Lets go."
Yang Jian could not care about mental breakdowns at this point.
The only thing that matters was whether they could leave here alive.
With his lead.
Everyone didn’t have to worry about getting lost, and they were indeed constantly leaving the ghost’s domain from the looks of things.
The darkness around was not that strong anymore. Although the sky is still dim, they could now see the road and the surrounding buildings clearly.
Soon.
Everyone arrived at the school gates.
The security booth was empty.
The road was quiet, scarily quiet.
The street lights were out, and there was no traffic around.
The surroundings looked strange, there were no noises except for their voices.
Yang Jian glanced at the closed door of the security booth, his eyes showing extreme vigilance. He did not dare to approach any door. Who knows if something terrifying would come out after opening a door.
And...
Looking at the dead silence outside, he knew in his heart that it was useless even if he walked out of school.
As long as you are still in the ghost’s domain it’s the same no matter where you are..
"What's going on outside, why is there no one? There’s usually so many parents who pick up students at the door at this time." Miao Xiaoshan was curious but also panicked.
Indeed.
Normally, the college would be crowded with people and vehicles.
But now it is empty, except for them.
"I'll go out and have a look." Zhang Wei volunteered, he climbed over the guardrail, and walked to the road outside.
Looking left and right along the road, he saw that the end of the road was enveloped by an endless layer of darkness, as if it led straight to the depths of hell.
The road where you would drive in from was also shrouded in darkness.
The whole place seems to be isolated from the rest of the world.
"It's useless, you can't get out by just walking, don't waste your energy." Yang Jian said.
"T-Then, we’re going to die here? I-I don't want to die." A girl collapsed onto the ground immediately, tears streaming down her face.
Although the other classmates did not collapse, anyone could see the fear of death in their eyes.
"Yang Jian, think of a way, save us, I-I don't want to encounter anymore ghosts." Wang Shanshan who was next to him took him by the arm and pleaded with her big tearful eyes.
Yang Jian fell into a short silence: "Let me think for a bit."
He didn't plan to walk anymore, instead he sat on the stone block besides him, he needed a rest before anything.
Running all the way here, he was also feeling very tired.
But then..
He looked down at Zhang Wei's mobile phone.
"Have you tried calling for help before?"
"I-I’ve tried before, and the phone works, but..." a classmate said.
"Zhao Lei, but what?"
"There’s no sound, there’s no sound on the other end, even though... even though someone answered. I-I didn’t try calling anymore." Zhao Lei said in silence.
There was no sound on the phone, even though it was answered.
Yang Jian’s chest tightened.
This place is already being haunted, coupled with such weird occourances, it was only natural to not try calling for help again.
"But there was still a connection when we were in the classroom. This situation only happened not long after we left the classroom." Suddenly, Miao Xiaoshan reminded him: "Zhang Wei called for help before and actually got an ambulance to come."
"Yeah, that's right." Zhang Wei nodded.
Not long after we left the classroom... If you consider the timing, it should be about the time when the ghost’s domain was manifested again, that is, the moment when the corridor lights flickered off when Yang Jian was half way down to the second floor.
"Really? I'll try another phone number."
Yang Jian suddenly thought of someone's number and decided to give it a go.
Turning on Zhang Wei's cell phone, he logged onto the forum, and then made a call using the satellite positioning phone Zhou Zheng gave him.
138.......
This was the phone number that raiden_karmapa left on the forum.
He wanted to know if something actually happened to him. If something happened, his mobile phone might be in the hands of a ghost user as evidence. After all, with there being criminal police who handled the paranormal incidents like Zhou Zheng, then it is possible that someone is working on this case.
Let's give it a try.
The cell phone’s signal did not cut off, on the contrary, the number was dialed smoothly.
But the situation was much worse than expected.
Ring ring, ring ring...
The ringtone of the phone on the other side rang out, it reverberated in the silent school, reaching everyone's ears. Although it was not loud, it was exceptionally clear and eerie.
Yang Jian's hand which he used to call froze.
"raiden-karmapa's cell phone is in this school!"
His pupils constricted abruptly, he shot up, looked around with a look of horror, subconsciously looking for the source of the phone's ringtone.
Cold sweat broke out on his face.
The netizen, raiden_karmapa, is an emergency room doctor from another province. Something happened to him while he was online at his home which is hundreds of kilometers away. If his cell phone ringtone appears here, it means... he is also here.
"Beep..."
The mobile phone was answered, no sound was coming from the other end.
At the same time, the sound of a cell phone ringing in the school disappeared.
Right then, Yang Jian saw a faint light coming from the screen of a phone from the window of a teaching building on the third floor. He could also vaguely see a blurry figure standing at the window, which seemed like it was looking towards where they were.
"Shit." Yang Jian was shocked into a cold sweat, he hurriedly hung up.
