The whispers in his ear had completely disappeared.
Bai Yan could smell a thick whiff of blood.
In fact, while the boy was chatting with the other person, he had already felt something was wrong, because he had also remembered that the boy was beside a wall, so there shouldn’t be anyone to his right.
Just as expected, as the boy dismantled the quilt and began eating the cotton inside, the faint smell of blood gradually pervaded the air.
The boy was huffing and puffing as he ate the cotton, and even the spittle splattered with the rich taste of blood.
In the end, the boy was in so much pain that he lost awareness of his surroundings, asking in a bewildered state, “Where did that person go,” but Bai Yan clearly heard—— That ‘person,’ he was still inside the room and had not left!
“Hurts… It hurts…”
“Ghost… The room has a ghost…”
The boy gasped for air as he said this. Despite using every bit of his strength, the voice he managed to squeeze out of his throat was not enough to rouse anyone.
Except for Bai Yan, everyone was still fast asleep.
Bai Yan listened as the boy breathed in his last breath and couldn’t help but open his eyes in the dark. His little hand secretly extended under the quilt, wanting to know about the boy’s circumstances.
However, as soon as Bai Yan opened his eyes, he was temporarily blinded by a harsh light—— It was the kind of brightness from a flashlight.
The flashlight only opened for a moment before suddenly turning off.
The dazzling light made Bai Yan’s eyes soak with tears, his teardrops falling and moistening his face.
Under the cover of his tears, Bai Yan could vaguely see through the layer, but for a brief moment, he also saw that there was one extra ‘person’ in the room.
Right now, that ‘person’ was standing by the top of his head, holding a flashlight and directly looking at him.
It really hasn’t gone away!
‘Someone has already died, the next one… Could it be me?’
Bai Yan was concisely aware that a ghost was staring at him.
He did his best to breathe more slowly, but his breaths were still urgent, his pulse was fiercely jumping around, and the tears in his eyes still hadn’t stopped.
At the same time, his cheeks appeared flushed, his lips appearing with an innocent smile—— Being a kid, one needed to be full of happy smiles.
He didn’t cry for help, waking up the others will only let them share the pressure.
He merely stayed silent, opening his eyes to meet with his unknown fate.
“…”
Time passed in silence.
The room was cloaked in darkness. Although Bai Yan’s night vision was particularly good, he still couldn’t see anyone or anything.
‘I, why am I still alive?’
‘Is the ghost gone?’
While Bai Yan was at a loss for words, a thick item covered his body, pushing down on him and making it harder to breathe.
Almost instantaneously, his nose was enveloped by the rich smell of blood.
After a while, the clammy and pungent liquid reached his body, soaking his pajamas.
All night, Bai Yan wondered what kind of tricks the ghost would play.
He tried using his hands to grope around the object over him, but it was as though lead was poured all over his body, even his fingers were unable to move an inch.
He finally understood that the ghost hadn’t left yet. It walked from the bedside to his quilt. Or, there was a ghost on top of his quilt, rendering him unable to move.
Knowing that he was experiencing sleep paralysis, Bai Yan also couldn’t think of a way out.
So, he kept his eyes open and waited in the dark until daytime came.
When the first ray of light shined through the window and entered the pitch-black room, Bai Yan’s body relaxed, feeling the heavy object pushing on top of his quilt had finally gone.
He blinked twice and adapted to the not-so-bright light, bothered by the question he had been thinking about the entire night, and finally, he discovered the answer——
The extra object on top of him was a quilt.
To be more precise, it was the quilt of the boy who had died last night.
Bai Yan crawled out of the quilt and discovered that his pajamas were completely dyed a dark red color, and his hands and feet were muddied with dried liquid, the air issuing the unpleasant stink of blood.
After a whole night of fermentation, the blood’s odor turned incomparably rancid. This smoky smell quickly woke up the children with sensitive noses.
These children woke up and saw the boy’s dead state, immediately beginning to make a big fuss, which also woke up the still dreaming kids beside them.
“Wuuu… So noisy, I want to go home! I want to go home…”
“Why is his body covered with blood? He must be a ghost! It must have been who made trouble last night!”
“Teacher Ning! A person’s dead! Please help! Let us out, let us out quick!”
“…”
For a while, the dorm’s noise exceeded a food market’s.
All kinds of sounds mixed and mingled together, also accompanied by the loud wails of those falling apart, letting the dorm become like a purgatory.
Due to the detective work of some kids, many didn’t use their critical thinking and reflected on the citation, simply believing their words and believing that Bai Yan was a ghost.
As a result, many children ran to the window as they trembled, while some hid under their quilts, thinking that if they hid there, they wouldn’t be killed by the ghost.
Some children who didn’t want to sit and wait for death ran to the door and waved their little fists, pounding on the door, mustering the loudest voices they could, screaming.
While all of them were occupied in their own way, a few kids, who were as brave as Bai Yan, gathered beside the dead body.
They stared at the dead boy, but soon, a girl probed out her hand, summoning her courage to touch the boy’s stomach.
With only a touch, she seemed as though something had bit her hand, becoming scared and retracting her hand back.
But, in a flash, she extended her hand again and touched it once more.
This time, she said as she felt, “His stomach is so soft!”
Saying this, the girl tilted her head, saying with confidence, “It’s softer than the stuffed bear I have at home. Why is his stomach this soft?”
Bai Yan was also standing at the side, looking at the spectacle. After hearing the girl’s words, he also reached out his hand to touch the boy’s stomach.
The boy’s death was extremely bizarre. He opened the boy’s round eyes, seeing that they were full of pain and terror. But, looking at it from an outsider’s point of view, his body looked normal.
His arms and legs weren’t augmented, and all of his parts were undamaged and in good condition, not showing any marks. There also wasn’t a single trace of blood from his body.
However, unlike his ordinary-looking limbs, his stomach was actually terrifyingly big. Even a pregnant lady’s belly with twins was nothing compared to how large his stomach was.
“It really is soft, like the cotton from a bed was stuffed inside his stomach…”
Bai Yan continued to poke the boy’s stomach and expressed the same sentiments.
As soon as his voice fell, Bai Yan remembered something.
Last night, hearing the conversation between the boy and the strange ghost, in the ghost’s instigation, the boy ate a lot of cotton.
So, did the boy really die from eating cotton?
Thinking about it, cotton was also something inside a quilt and shouldn’t be eaten. Besides this extremely foolish boy, he has never heard of someone eating cotton.
Bai Yan gloomily nodded, feeling that he had solved the case.
After filling his belly with cotton, it was no wonder that the boy’s stomach was incredibly soft.
As the other brave kids eagerly poked the boy’s stomach, Bai Yan’s mind and heart were moving, recalling the quilt that the ghost covered his body with.
The quilt was pushing down on him the whole night, rendering him unable to move.
Right now, it was dawn, so the ghost ought to have left.
Seeing the figure of the ‘person’ behind the window disappear, Bai Yan dragged the blood-stained quilt over his own, using his hands to pull on the thread.
The stitches on the child’s quilt weren’t sturdy, and with a mighty tug, the quilt was thoroughly pulled open.
Inside the quilt, most of the cotton had long disappeared without a trace, only a few bloodied pieces of cotton were scattered in the middle, but this wasn’t the eye-catching part at all.
Bai Yan didn’t pay attention to the bloodied cotton since all of his attention was grabbed by the chunks of meat in the quilt.
The inside was full of tattered organs.
It was the first time Bai Yan had seen something like this, but he could instinctively tell what they were.
This was a fragment of a heart, this one was part of a kidney, this was a section of the stomach…
Bai Yan used his hands to fish out the contents of the quilt, and the inside was completely filled with these things.
At this time, he finally figured out why there was a fishy-smelling liquid that flowed down on his body last night, giving him difficulty in sleeping.
“He ate the cotton inside the quilt, while the things in his stomach were stuffed inside the quilt… So this is how a ghost thinks.”
Bai Yan accepted this logic, not sensing that this logic had problems.
While several bold children took turns touching the boy’s belly, Ning Xiuli finally woke up.
Going out of her office, she cursed as she saw the door.
However, when she opened it, there was unexpectedly no noise.
She was left tongue-tied after seeing the dead boy’s miserable condition. Waiting for her soul to return to her body, she then took out her phone and called for a strong man to come there.
The man pushed a trolley and placed the boy’s corpse on it, dragging the cart away. The trolley’s squeaks faded into the distance.
Ning Xiuli recovered only when they couldn’t hear the sound of the trolley, not one hint of it, instantly becoming harsh and domineering, wantonly beating and scolding the kids inside the dorm…
…
The boy’s death took a big toll on Ning Xiuli.
Although on the surface, she was still venting her anger towards the kids like before, Ning Xiuli knew that something has changed
Compared to Lin Miaomiao who became a ghost, the boy’s death was more impactful. That fully bloodied quilt made Ning Xiuli nervous every night, pinching and hitting her quilt numerous times every night for fear that her own quilt was hiding something.
On the morning of the third day of school, Ning Xiuli was extremely haggard.
She looked at herself in the mirror, worry was across her face. Thinking that she has to stay in this school for six more years, the corners of Ning Xiuli’s mouth twitched, not being able to have a smile come out.
She opened the tap, absent-mindedly washing her face. Before she was done washing, she felt like peeing.
She hurriedly wiped her face with a towel without closing the tap and quickly sat on the toilet bowl.
Ning Xiuli felt relieved from the sound of running water.
After Ning Xiuli solved her physical problem, she inadvertently looked up to the sink full of water.
As a result of lifting her head, her whole body froze. Because, in the pond of water, a deathly white hand stretched out of the sink…
