Ning Xiuli’s back seeped out cold sweat when thinking about this question.
That ghost… could still possibly be inside the bathroom.
Ning Xiuli stared wide-eyed at the ceiling, her eyes filled with horror.
The hollows of her palms were sticky with sweat, her whole body was similar to a bubble, being kept together with a layer of skin.
The evening’s cold wind blew at Ning Xiuli until she shivered.
The clothes on her back were sticky from the dried sweat. Ning Xiuli turned her body, tearing her clothes off as a light thud emitted.
The not-so-loud noise made her sweat flow out again. Ning Xiuli wiped the sweat away from her forehead, finally unable to bear this torture of over suspicion.
She clenched her jaw to make her teeth stop chattering.
Ning Xiuli sat down and stood up numerous times before finally deciding to open the bathroom light with trembling hands and proceeding to open the door.
As a result, with only a glance at the brightly lit bathroom, she broke out into an intense screech, almost slamming the door close——
The dry sink shockingly contained a dismembered white hand!
“Impossible! Didn’t that little brat say that there was no hand? He had the cheek to lie to me!”
Ning Xiuli’s expression twisted, letting her pretty face transform into something sinister.
Ning Xiuli pressed her fingernails onto her palms, tears and mucus spread across her face, her complexion looking more and more warped, “How could this be? The bathroom has a ghost! I’m going to die! I’m going to die!”
“No, I need to escape!”
“No… Ghosts are also outside—— That headmistress’s portrait, she’s also a ghost! The teacher’s handbook said that after 9 PM, it would be best for the school’s personnel to not leave their offices and to not wander around as they wished, or else they need to take responsibility for the consequences. Going out also meant death! I’m still young! I don’t want to die”!
Ning Xiuli released a wild roar in her office. She then clutched her hair, her eyes full of terror as she started to collapse.
As she went mad and vented, the bathroom light suddenly turned itself off.
Without the shroud of light, the noises became even more glaring.
In the bathroom, the ‘di da di da’ sounds of water were especially distinct, leading Ning Xiuli to immediately shut up and curl her head at the bed’s legs, similar to a chicken with a clutched neck.
Although she couldn’t see anything in the darkness, Ning Xiuli still nervously stared at the bathroom door.
The door didn’t open, only sounds of ‘di da di da’ continued the whole night.
On the next day, Ning Xiuli’s eye bags were dark, and her eyes were bloodshot, her entire mental state haggard.
During the day, she grabbed a student and pressured him to open the bathroom door.
However, the results were the same as Bai Yan said. There was nothing on the sink. That deathly pale ghost’s hand, it was as though it was an illusion she made, never to be seen by anyone else…
…
In just ten short days, everyone changed a lot.
Children were the most vulnerable beings, but they were also the most adaptable ones.
After experiencing and being tempered with terror for several days, most kids had already stopped crying. They had accepted that their parents had abandoned them, and the picky eaters also dropped their bad habits, eating everything in their disgusting lunch boxes until they were clean.
However, despite the children’s obvious progress, they still had a couple of deaths these past few days.
The children who had died had all been led astray by ghosts in the middle of the night, answering their invitation to a game, dying in the middle of their game, each death becoming weirder and more frightening than the last.
Since many people were being eliminated, when pulling the trolley for the corpses, many children just ignored it from getting used to the fact that the bodies would be dragged away when they die.
However, there were still some results.
On the seventh day, the children finally realized that the ghosts would sneak into their spaces, pretending to be a fellow classmate. At night, these ghosts would coerce them into making bets or playing a game, and the person who would reply usually wouldn’t live until the next morning.
Soon, the news of ‘not talking to anyone at night’ spread widely.
The children’s will to live were exuberant. After knowing this extremely crucial information, no one died in the dorms at night.
For three straight days, not one person from the class died.
Although there was still sand and hair mixed into their lunches every day, they were still unpalatable, but having none of their companions die gave the children courage and hope.
With this newly birthed hope, the children could endure endless beatings and punishments.
Even when Ning Xiuli wasn’t there, they were able to smile and play among themselves. Life in the ‘Special District’ seemed to be getting better, as though no one was that scared in the first place…
Everyone felt that life had something to hope for——Except for Bai Yan.
In just one night, these little faces that had nothing else to live for were full of hope, leaving him in a terrible mood.
Compared to his companions who were slowly getting back the light in their eyes, Bai Yan’s smiling expression gradually disappeared, his eyes showing a murky color, starting to show that he had nothing left to live for.
It was great that everyone was crowded together and weeping endlessly, but after two days, how could things suddenly change?
Bai Yan unhappily passed by the ‘revolutionary betrayal’ classmates, and when he saw Ning Xiuli, his heart finally felt relieved.
Unlike his classmates who were clearly doing mentally better, Ning Xiuli’s eyes were bloodshot, the whites of her eyes were almost entirely colored red by the visible arteries.
Her eye bags were dark, her hair was disheveled, and her psyche was also below acceptable.
Ning Xiuli rolled in with this crazy demeanor, and upon seeing her enter the classroom now, Bai Yan felt as though the air had become fresher.
The only thing he felt that was far from good was that Ning Xiuli had recently been ruthlessly hitting people even more. Moreover, after she was done hitting the others, she would passingly pinch his body, pinching him until he was covered in bruises.
Additionally, the time Ning Xiuli made him clean her office became even longer.
Even if he was done cleaning the room, Ning Xiuli would still deliberately make him stay until late, clearly harboring evil intentions.
Bai Yan was well aware of Ning Xiuli’s plan.
The school was extremely dangerous at night.
Every night at nine, when he passed through the hallways on his way back to the dorm, the headmistress’s portrait would turn her eyes and stare at him as he walked, looking at him with an increasingly weirder expression.
Furthermore, the headmistress’s neck was getting longer and longer, with the tendency to extend out of the portrait.
Bai Yan felt that this was anything far from good. Although he enjoyed Ning Xiuli’s new appearance, he knew that the next time, he would surely die.
Either being beaten to death by Ning Xiuli or being killed by the headmistress on his way back at night.
Bai Yan could accept being killed by a ghost.
But, Bai Yan was completely unwilling to be killed by Ning Xiuli from the bottom of his heart.
He felt that this kind of death was too lacking, and he always thought that trash like Ning Xiuli didn’t deserve his fate.
His little life should be set aside for more important people…
‘Huh? Set aside for who?’
Bai Yan shook his head, casting aside this peculiar thought, not thinking of the matter he couldn’t remember.
His train of thought returned to Ning Xiuli causing him harm, Bai Yan really didn’t want to die by her hand.
Since he didn’t want to die, he had no other choice but to strike first and gain the upper hand.
…
Bai Yan patiently waited for two days.
On the twelfth day, when Ning Xiuli once again grabbed Bai Yan to clean her room, Bai Yan acted as usual and basically didn’t resist, acting extremely obedient.
Since Bai Yan was originally quite well behaved, Ning Xiuli thought nothing of it and proceeded to leave him to clean, cooking her dinner with ease.
However, after she finished eating dinner today, she needed to attend a meeting with the other teachers, hurriedly leaving as soon as she was done.
Watching Ning Xiuli’s leaving figure disappear from the corridor, when he was sure that she wouldn’t return for a while, Bai Yan immediately threw the broom to the ground.
He took strides with his short legs, running towards the place where Ning Xiuli cooked and found the ventilation pipeline.
At this moment, he remembered a song in response to the scene, a song beloved by elementary school students—— The general premise that the sun was shining up in the sky, and I went to blow up the school… This could be a children’s song, which could also be called the golden childhood song, with almost every elementary student who hated school secretly sang.
However, he had just entered elementary school, and none of his classmates have ever sung this tune, so how was it possible for him to know this?
When he thought about this, Bai Yan had a small headache.
Just like some things or some people, he obviously felt familiar with them, but he couldn’t remember exactly what it was.
…Doesn’t matter, as long as he was happy then it was fine.
Bai Yan wasn’t the type of person to make things difficult for himself. He didn’t try remembering the source of the song and merely hummed the tune softly.
Then, he unscrewed the gas valve in an agile manner, and once he confirmed that there was no smell, he closed the lights, unhurriedly leaving the room.
Before he left, he didn’t forget to shut the door close.
