Chapter 53: Ghost hits the wall

Pan stepped forward and picked up the small ball of paper. When he opened it, he saw that it was the one that Shinozuka Kaoru had balled up and thrown away.

"It's that piece of paper, and we're back to where we were before."

Ghost hitting the wall? It was also the first time for Pan to encounter such a thing. He turned to look at Shinozuka Kaoru, wanting to see what she could do.

"It may be the interference of accidental objects. My brother mentioned this situation in his diary. He said that ghosts sometimes break into the walls in haunted houses, but these are often not ghosts and evil spirits, but the entanglement of accidental objects. Affected by resentment, this resentment will cause people to be confused about direction, have a blurred self-perception, and not know where to go, so they always keep spinning in circles."

"But you didn't notice the resentment before." Paine said.

"I'm not a greyhound raised by monks. If it's too slight or well-hidden resentment, of course I won't be able to sense it." Shinozuka Kaoru said angrily. She took the paper ball from Pan's hand and took it from her own. He took out a lighter from his bag and lit it.

The ball of paper burned immediately when it touched the flame, making a thunderous sound, and a stench accompanied by disgust hit his face.

"Ahem, cough, throw it away quickly!"

Paine covered her nose and said, but Shinozuka Kaoru was obviously a wolf destroyer. She actually put the burning paper ball in the palm of her hand and watched it burn up little by little.

"Don't you feel hot?"

"Because it's not hot at all." Shinozuka Kaoru blew away the black ash in his hand. "This thing is indeed an accident object. Let's take a closer look."

"Okay, then move on."

The two of them walked forward again, but this time they felt something was wrong after only a few steps.

"Look ahead."

Paine pointed to the black ashes on the ground and said, "Is this what you burned just now? We are walking back again."

And Shinozuka Kaoru pointed behind him, "No, what I burned should still be behind us."

Paine turned around and saw a lot of black ash scattered on the floor of the trash can behind him.

"How is this going?"

Paine didn't feel scared at all. Although the scene in front of him was strange, it was not risky at all.

"I don't know either."

Shinozuka Kaoru bit his lip and said.

"Then what should we do now? We can't stay in the corridor until dawn."

"Of course not. In this case, we won't be able to complete the contract. The contract requires us to patrol the floor three times every night before finding a place to rest. We can't say that we were stumped on the first floor of the teaching building!"

Shinozuka Kaoru said depressedly.

"I know, so this is a very difficult question."

Paine doesn't have any pressure. After all, it doesn't matter to him whether he succeeds or not. His main task is to survive for 60 natural days. If possible, he would of course prefer a more conservative plan, just lie in the corridor until dawn. It's not unacceptable.

It's just that Shinozuka Kaoru is still a bit proud of a house master, and of course she won't just bow her head and admit defeat.

The two communicated with each other, but in the end there was no good solution.

"I said, should we go into the classroom and take a look? I think those on the wall"
