Chapter 86: Chunhuahua Kindergarten (VI)
Wang Xiaoyang was struggling to dry his clothes using a hand dryer.
She has always felt that bathrooms have an inexplicable sense of eeriness since she was a child, especially when she was in high school, which was also the time when there were the most horror legends about bathrooms, whether it was a hand suddenly reaching out from the toilet, or the most widely circulated eerie voice suddenly coming from the maintenance cubicle next door, asking if she could borrow a piece of paper. This once intensified her fear of the bathroom, and she had to drag her best friend with her every time she went.
This time she was no exception.
However, after entering the kindergarten's bathroom, she realized that the company of other people seemed a little redundant. The bathroom in front of her was very warm and cozy, which did not arouse any fear in people's hearts. Therefore, the only thing she was nervous about now was to quickly wash off the dust on her clothes, so that the other three would not wait too long and leave her behind.
The roar of the hand dryer and the sound of water flowing from the faucet covered up the footsteps, so Wang Xiaoyang couldn't hear the sound at first. It was not until she caught a glimpse of a figure suddenly beside her that she reacted, and she abruptly withdrew her hands, and the hand dryer stopped working.
The scream that was about to burst out of her mouth was stopped when she found out it was He Ze. She said with lingering fear: "Weren't you by the pool just now? How did you suddenly come over..."
Her voice stopped abruptly after seeing He Ze's expression.
He Ze ignored Wang Xiaoyang's voice. His eyes were still fixed on the pool. His thick eyebrows were raised and the flesh on both sides of his cheeks were shaking violently, like a hedgehog full of vigilance.
Qiao Yuan and Sheng Guiye's eyes were also focused in the same direction.
The moment Qiao Yuan noticed He Ze pushing him away, he immediately turned around and understood why the other party was retreating so quickly.
Along with the sound of splashing water, what flowed out was not clear water, but red liquid, which accumulated in the colorful pool. It was like a strange contrast, and the air was filled with a faint smell of blood.
It's blood.
Except for Wang Xiaoyang who was still staring blankly at the liquid in the sink as if frightened, the other three had already understood and subconsciously ran towards the bathroom exit. However, Wang Xiaoyang was a step late and stumbled out after a long while: "Wait, wait for me..."
Everyone ran away without saying a word, leaving her no time to react, but now she didn't even have time to complain.
After the four people turned around and left, the sound of water behind them quickly stopped.
Qiao Yuan also noticed that the sound of water had stopped. She thought for a few seconds, slowed down her pace, turned her head quickly and found that the sound of water had stopped, but the faucet was still rotating automatically until it was tightened.
The blood accumulated in the pool also disappeared completely, as if everything that had just happened was just her illusion.
This time, the four of them went straight back to what they had just discussed.
Not only are they back to their five or six years old, but their physical fitness seems to be the same. He Ze is a child who loves sports since childhood. If it were an adult, it would only take a dozen steps from the bathroom to where they are now, but after being a child, he felt that he had already achieved the amount of exercise for a year.
Although he had also experienced running, Sheng Guiye's breath was still steady when he spoke, but he turned the Buddhist beads a little faster: "There is a ghost."
There is no need to list the data this time.
Wang Xiaoshi ran so fast that her legs weakened. When she heard this, her pupils trembled. She had just witnessed the bleeding faucet, so she knew that Sheng Guiye was right. After all, the sudden bleeding faucet could only be explained by a ghost, but this made her even more frightened.
She rolled her eyes and wished she could faint right now. It would be best if she could wake up and find that 48 hours had passed. But in fact, after hearing what He Ze said, she felt a chill spreading from the soles of her feet to her whole body. She looked around vigilantly, as if a ghost would pop out from behind her in the next second and smile at her right next to her face.
What she didn't expect was that these three people actually started discussing ghosts directly.
He Ze was still panting: "Who, who are the ghosts? Those two kids?"
Qiao Yuan: "It's very likely that it's either a child or an adult ghost with obsessive-compulsive disorder."
Her confident words made He Ze's eyes light up: "Boss, don't you find any evidence?"
Qiao Yuan: "Don't call me boss."
"After we turned around, I saw that the sound of water had stopped and the faucet was turned off."
He Ze: ???
At first, he thought Qiao Yuan was joking to liven up the atmosphere, but after careful consideration, he realized that what he said was indeed reasonable. If an adult ghost specifically turned off the faucet, it would indeed be a bit puzzling, but if it was a child, it would make much more sense. After all, Chunhuahua Kindergarten has posted rules everywhere in a way that children can understand, including turning off the faucet.
He Ze is an elementary school physical education teacher. He is not at the stage where he needs to leave school due to illness, so he finds that many children have a much stronger awareness of enforcing certain rules than adults.
Of course, the most important thing is that He Ze also realized that up to now, their minds were the most damaged, which was completely different from the previous situation where their bodies and minds were damaged at the same time. It was more like a child's prank.
Of course, it may also be because they have not yet completely touched upon the taboos.
"Boss, then we..."
Before He Ze could finish his words, he was interrupted by another gentle but exaggerated voice: "What boss?"
It was Teacher Li Zi’s voice.
It turned out that it was almost time to gather, but Qiao Yuan and Wang Xiaoyang had not returned for a long time, so she and their parents went to look for them separately. On the way, she met a child she knew who said he had seen them here, so she came here to look for them.
As soon as she came over, she saw four cubs sitting together, and one of them was calling "Boss" one after another.
"Are you playing a new game of house? Great." Teacher Li Zi certainly didn't think too much about it and encouraged with a smile: "But we have more important things to do now, so we can play later."
"Come on, I'll take you back to class."
After hearing what the other party said, it was of course impossible for the four of them to continue the discussion.
Because there were two children from other classes, Sheng Guiye and He Ze, Teacher Li Zi first sent them to the teachers of the other two classes, and then took Qiao Yuan and Wang Xiaoyang back.
No one mentioned the blood coming out of the faucet. Wang Xiaoyang was purely afraid, while the other three knew that the blood was gone because Qiao Yuan had said so, so everyone just treated it as childish nonsense.
Qiao Buyan and Sang Miao both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Qiao Yuan coming back. Wang Xiaoyang's parents also didn't say anything this time. Only Wang Xiaoyang knew that this meant they would settle the score when they got home later. However, she would leave the dungeon after completing the task, so it was impossible for her to go home with her parents.
Qiao Yuan soon got another piece of evidence that the two children were ghosts -
She saw it with her own eyes.
When Qiao Yuan followed the teacher's footsteps into the music classroom, he found that Hu Mingxuan's parents were also standing in the classroom. Logically, they should have gone to the previous class, but they stayed in this classroom.
However, most of the teachers and parents present knew what had happened to the couple, so they did not show any impatience and did not come forward to disturb them too much.
Hu Mingxuan's father looked depressed, while Hu Mingxuan's mother was holding the little girl. Although her eyes were red, she still tried to explain to her daughter in her arms: "This was my brother's favorite place to stay before. He sang very well..."
As she spoke, she choked up and seemed to be about to cry. The little girl in her arms seemed to sense it and raised her hand to wipe her tears. Her tender hands tried hard to catch every tear from her mother, but this action made her even sadder: "Why him? He's only three years old..."
Father Hu wanted to comfort her, but when he opened his mouth, only a sigh came out. The daughter in his arms sensed her parents' sadness and couldn't help crying. The music room seemed to be shrouded in a sad atmosphere.
Teacher Li Zi, another teacher named Lin, and some parents also hurried to comfort the children, and occasionally there were children's innocent voices: "Uncle, aunt, why are you crying?"
Some children couldn't get an answer, and thought it was boring to watch others cry, so they shook off their parents' hands and started wandering around.
At this moment, Qiao Yuan caught a glimpse of a small figure outside the door.
The other person's entire body was pressed against the glass. Because of the structure of the frosted glass, it seemed to be automatically blurred, but you could still see that his skin was abnormally white, and there was a red streak from his neck to his chest, as if he was wearing a red tie.
In addition to Qiao Yuan, there was another little kid running around who saw it.
He naturally thought that his companion was standing outside the door, and subconsciously tiptoed to open the door: "Why are you standing outside..."
The moment the door opened, there was no one outside, only a draft passing through.
The child's sudden opening of the door attracted the attention of his parents, who pulled the boy back and closed the door again.
The little boy was still talking blankly: "There was clearly someone outside just now..."
The parents thought the little boy was just hallucinating: "Go to bed earlier next time."
However, Qiao Yuan knew that the little boy was not lying because she saw it too.
When the four of them reunited later, when Wang Xiaoyang heard Qiao Yuan say that a ghost was standing outside the door at that time, his pupils shrank suddenly.
After all, she was standing next to Qiao Yuan at the time, not far from the door.
When she thought that there was only a door between her and the ghost, she felt a sense of fear. She originally wanted to ask Qiao Yuan why he didn't remind her, but she soon realized that if Qiao Yuan had reminded her on the spot, she would probably scream and faint.
Although He Ze was not as frightened as Wang Xiaoyang, he was also shocked.
After Qiao Yuan finished speaking, Sheng Guiye immediately said, "I saw it too."
At that time, Sheng Guiye was sent back to the classroom by the enthusiastic teacher Li Zi. Their class teacher was about to organize everyone to paint the last picture in kindergarten. In order to avoid getting their clothes dirty, the children had consciously run to the locker room nearby to get their coveralls, while the parents were waiting outside.
Each gown is hung on the hanger and the three classes take turns wearing it. However, if some children like a gown very much, they will put stickers on it, and the other children tacitly will not choose it.
Because there was no name on it, Sheng Guiye picked one up at random, and heard a little girl next to him say angrily: "This is mine, and it has my butterfly sticker on it!"
He thought it was just another quarrel between children, so he didn't pay much attention to it, until the girl's voice continued: "You, you, you, if you don't let go, I will tell the teacher!"
With a glance, I saw the little girl holding on to a corner of the gown tightly, and a small hand stretched out from the back of the gown, also tightly pulling the gown, making it impossible for the girl to pull the gown out.
It looks like it's just a normal situation where two people are fighting over one item.
However, when Sheng Guiye looked away, he noticed that the hand stretched out from the other end was blue, with spots on the back of the hand.
It's like corpse spots.
Sheng Guiye on this side realized something was wrong. The little girl on the other side, after finding out that the ultimate move she told the teacher was useless, had already loosened her smock and went around to the back to see who was the person who was snatching her clothes. Her angry murmurs soon turned into sharp cries, and the hand had disappeared.
The teacher heard the crying and rushed over quickly, holding the little girl in her arms: "Luoluo, what's wrong?"
The little girl cried and wiped her tears: "The one with the cracked head..."
The teacher was stunned, then looked around: "Where is it?"
The little girl just cried. Even her parents recognized her voice and came in, but she still kept repeating that there was a person with a cracked head.
After being comforted by everyone, the little girl finally opened her eyes and looked around, and sure enough, she did not find the person she had seen before.
The little girl's mother felt a little guilty: "I'm sorry, teacher. We watched a horror movie outside yesterday because we thought she was asleep. I guess she woke up in the middle and saw it..."
Some naughty kids have already started to make a noise: "Luoluo is crying again, shame on you!"
"Your eyes are red like a rabbit. Do you want some carrots?"
"How long will you cry this time..."
After hearing what her companions said, the little girl sniffed and stopped crying. Instead, she asked her parents to let her go and started playing with those who were laughing at her.
Sheng Guiye didn't see the ghost. He originally wanted to use the toy to exchange for information about the little girl, but the other party's fear came and went quickly. In addition, her parents said it was an illusion, so she almost forgot about it and only remembered that it was still a girl.
This incident happened at about the same time as Qiao Yuan saw the ghost, so it means there were two ghosts.
The people present almost immediately thought of the two children they had just heard about who had died.
He Ze: "So it's those two kids, right?"
His face looked solemn. After all, one ghost was troublesome enough, but he didn't expect there would be two.
If the little girl was not lying or seeing things, one of the ghosts even looked scary.
The more scared Wang Xiaoyang was, the more his brain couldn't help but imagine what a ghost with a head split in half would look like.
Because she had experienced being surrounded by ghosts before, Qiao Yuan was very calm, but she found that Sheng Guiye was equally calm.
It means that the Buddhist beads in your hand spin faster.
Some people's mood is not on their faces, but on their hands. No wonder some people say that hands are a person's second face.
