If God gives him another chance, maybe Chen Qing will choose to run away instead of showing up here.
He was like a man out of time, at the wrong time, in the wrong place, meeting... the wrong person.
He looked at the dark corridor in front of him, and his feet felt numb.
"I shouldn't have come... I shouldn't have come here." His face turned pale, and blood dripped from his sleeves to the ground.
"Tick...tick."
The blood was like a spring, and the sound of dripping on the ground was so clear in the corridor.
Those creatures of the night...those things. They squirmed near the end of the corridor.
Chen Qing lowered his eyes, and several pale images climbed up the eaves in the darkness.
He could hear the sound of the fabric rubbing against the wall.
A rustling sound, right next to my ears...
Right next to my ear...
His heart was beating wildly, but among those pale faces, the familiar face was hanging upside down, with his body lying on the eaves, and his neck hanging under the door curtain.
They were happy, and a frontal face appeared on the hanging head.
They looked at Chen Qing, and their skin rippled in waves and circles, and then the skin, like loose thigh meat, flowed down bit by bit...
The flow came to Chen Qing and looked at him with the eyes hanging on his skin.
They looked at him, their loose mouths torn into several large pieces, opening and closing, swallowing their own blood.
They stretched out their hands, touched the boy's arms with their broken and sharp fingertips, and then smiled.
"Let's die together...why can't I live alone?"
…
Four hours ago, Chen Qing was walking home as usual. He was holding the fried skewers in his hands. He was enjoying the food that cost two yuan a skewer on the roadside.
"I'll tell you, the food stalls next to the school are getting more and more expensive..."
He looked at the food in his hand with regret, then put it into his mouth after hesitating for a moment.
"No way, there are fewer and fewer people around the school... Damn this monopoly industry."
Beside him, there was another young man walking arm-in-arm. His eyes were empty and his face was a little pale.
"I heard something happened..." He sighed and prepared to turn into the smoky black Internet cafe: "What can be more important than making money? Damn it."
"Something happened?" Chen Qing was a little curious. He had heard about it elsewhere.
"Many people are missing..." The young man frowned and pulled Chen Qing into the innermost part of the Internet cafe.
No one will pay attention to the students in the two corners of the Internet cafe, except Tiaozi.
"What do you mean? How do you know?" Chen Qing lowered his voice and looked strange.
He shouldn't know.
Chen Qing thought.
"I haven't heard of these things. It's just around here... and it's impossible to be suppressed."
He watched his partner turn pale, his face full of death-like stiffness, and every time the corners of his eyes twitched, his mouth twitched several times unconsciously.
But he didn't notice.
He looked at Chen Qing and said, "You don't remember... you don't remember Rongan... you don't remember... but you have to help me."
Chen Qing frowned, feeling more and more that the situation was not good: "Seriously... Don't be hysterical, you didn't win."
"I'm not kidding!"
He gritted his teeth and lowered his voice: "You have to help me... you must help me! I will be next!"
He grabbed Chen Qing's hand, and only then did Chen Qing see the pale mark on the other person's wrist.
It's a bone, with diagonal lines.
It was as if the bone was piercing into his wrist, with the broken tip facing the palm of his hand, crawling inward little by little.
"you……"
Chen Qing hesitated for a moment and did not ask.
He looked at this friend who he had known for a long time, and he felt extremely strange at the moment.
"At night...you come to school at night...you will know everything..."
After speaking to Chen Qing in a lowered voice, he picked up his backpack and left through the back door.
"Ah? Where is the school?"
Chen Qing was stunned for a while and saw something under the keyboard.
It's under his own keyboard.
"At nine o'clock in the evening, door 301 of the school's girls' dormitory building - Wu Chenyi"
He looked at the note in front of him, his expression getting weirder and weirder.
"But the dormitory building in our school... only has two floors..."
He muttered for a while and looked up at the air conditioner above.
In the evening of mid-summer, it seems that the air conditioner is a little too cold.
…
At night, Chen Qing looked at the silent college, feeling vaguely uneasy in his heart.
Because of the departure of the surrounding vendors, the already remote school seemed even more lifeless.
He listened to the voice coming from the doorman's cell phone, gritted his teeth, and finally stepped into the door.
In the school, there are not many people living in the dormitory. There are two floors for men and women, but often even the first floor is not full.
Because of this, most of the time, the dormitory doors are locked early in the school, and there are no dedicated teachers to manage them.
When he walked all the way downstairs to the girls' dormitory, Chen Qing frowned even more.
"So few people?"
There are only a few rooms with lights on in the two-story dormitory.
Looking at the clothes on the outside, I'm afraid it's hard to count the number of people living on campus.
"There are so few people in our school?" He muttered, but he felt a little lucky. At least on the way upstairs... no one would notice him.
With this thought in mind, Chen Qing hurried towards the roof of the building.
"There are only two floors in the building... is it the top floor?" He murmured softly. After arriving at the passage on the second floor, he saw that the lock on the rooftop had been opened.
He walked up to the top of the building and finally saw the classmate who had been crouching in the corner for a long time.
He just stood up, and his arms on both sides of his body were shaking.
As soon as he walked, his steps began to wobble beneath him.
Chen Qing was a little stunned, and rushed up to help him: "Hey, what's your situation? Have you been squatting since this afternoon?"
He nodded, with a little ferocious smile on his face: "Yes... yes... no one is coming... this time... I will be fine."
He supported Chen Qing, and before the other party could say anything, he spoke first: "There is a ghost in our school... There is a ghost."
"you……"
"Listen to me." He widened his eyes, grabbed Chen Qing's face tightly with both hands, and looked directly into his eyes, which were only about ten centimeters away.
"Listen to me...listen to me...don't interrupt me!" He gritted his teeth and grinned, blood seeping out from his gums.
"Someone...someone killed someone. Created a curse, I don't know what it is...it's been chasing me...
I had to bring people with me...Only if I brought people with me...I could possibly survive. "
"What are you talking about!" Chen Qing slapped the other person's hand away. The smell of blood in his mouth made him feel sick.
"Have you ever heard of ghost stories?" His teeth chattered and he continued: "Before... we came here to explore together. But you left."
Chen Qing was stunned for a moment.
"You and I...were the only ones left alive that night. But yesterday...he came to find me."
Wu Chenyi pulled up his sleeves, and the bone-like tattoo on his arm had penetrated further into his skin.
It is obviously a flat pattern, but it pierces into the palm of my hand like a sharp cone.
"They are coming... They are coming to me. I can't face them by myself! I will die, I will definitely die..." His face was trembling.
"You...you must go with me." His face was smiling.
"No, you are crazy." Before Chen Qing could finish his scolding words, Wu Chenyi's face flashed with a look of determination.
"You will definitely come with me."
he muttered, the trembling on his face lessening.
"You have to...save me."
He smiled and took out a sharpened drill from his hidden wrist.
He cried, and the sharp drill pierced Chen Qing's arm.
"Why are you crazy!"
But before Chen Qing finished speaking, he saw the drill pointed at the palm of his master's hand.
"They are calling me... They are already calling me... We are obviously members of the same team, how can we both... just ignore them?"
He watched the blood stain the ground red, and he watched Wu Chenyi's face turn a little whiter.
He watched as the sashimi completely entered the palm of his hand.
He watched as the moonlight disappeared, and the boy's figure was swallowed up by fog and shadow.
The ladder going down turned into a staircase with no end in sight.
Obviously it's not that dark.
He tried to jump down from the second floor, but as soon as he reached out to touch it, a repulsive force pushed him back to the ground.
He leaned forward toward where his companion was, but after taking a few steps, what he saw was the pitch-black staircase.
Go back, left or right, whichever way you go.
He could see the stairs in front of him getting closer and closer, and watch his figure stepping into this staircase full of scarlet and darkness step by step.
