Volume 1 Campus Horror Chapter 0004 Is there a ghost?
Coming out of the school building, Xiao Mo walked to the bottom of the flagpole. He didn't know if it was his illusion or his subconscious mind, but he could still smell a strong smell of blood. He raised his head and looked up at the bloody top. The tragic scene of four people hanging on it immediately appeared in his mind.
Xiao Mo shuddered and subconsciously took two steps back, but he didn't look away. He felt that the flagpole was very strange. It was bare without any wire. You know, the flagpole is used to raise the flag. There should be a lot of wires wrapped around it. As long as you hang the flag and pull the spool, the flag will slowly rise into the air.
But there was nothing on this flagpole. If it hadn't been standing on a square platform, he would have even doubted whether it was a flagpole. Xiao Mo took two more steps forward, and he stood on the square platform under the flagpole, carefully examining its bottom.
There he saw a bunch of iron wires tangled together. He tried to pull them, but found that the wires had penetrated deep into the ground. He tried his best but couldn't pull them out at all.
Xiao Mo secretly thought that he was ridiculous for being interested in a dead object. He shook his head and walked down from the square platform. He wanted to leave quickly, but suddenly Huang Liang's voice came from behind:
"Xiao Mo, wait for me."
Xiao Mo looked back and saw Huang Liang running towards him. He thought Huang Liang stayed in the classroom, so he was a little surprised to see him.
"I thought you stayed."
"I did choose to stay, but the squad leader said we need to wait another day and see. He said he would call those who stayed tomorrow and discuss the details of the investigation ."
Xiao Mo said "oh" and felt a little disappointed. He hoped that Huang Liang would not get involved in this matter. He did not want Huang Liang to take risks, but also wanted to find a balance for his selfish heart.
On the way back, Xiao Mo hesitated for a moment and then persuaded Huang Liang:
"The police can't figure out the cause of this matter, so what can you guys figure out? There's something weird , and it's hard to say if we stay here..."
"I know."
Huang Liang interrupted Xiao Mo before he finished speaking, and then he heard him say:
"Although I haven't known Youshan for long, I still know a little about him. Although he likes to act weird, he is a very honest person without any tricks. These days, people like Youshan are rarer than pandas!
But such a good man died in such an unclear way. As a friend, how can I just stand by and watch?"
Xiao Mo was speechless listening to this. It was not because he felt ashamed, but because he didn't know what to say.
Huang Liang finished his words with a sigh, and was afraid that Xiao Mo might have misunderstood his meaning, so he suddenly changed the subject:
"Let's not talk about this anymore. There's still some time before dark, so I might as well go to your house and sit down."
"good."
In fact, Xiao Mo didn't like to have people over to his home, so he had never invited Huang Liang and the others. If Huang Liang hadn't brought it up today, the idea of visiting his home would probably have been postponed.
Huang Liang followed Xiao Mo and walked around here and there. Soon there was no one around. It was obviously the first time for Huang Liang to come to this area, so he looked very surprised.
When Xiao Mo saw the shock on Huang Liang's face, he smiled and said:
"When I first moved here, I was also shocked by the environment here. I didn't know why there was such a barren land in such a modern city."
Huang Liang nodded slightly but didn't say anything.
The two continued walking, barely talking to each other along the way. Finally, after crossing a muddy dirt road, they saw the extremely old building.
When he came to the outside of the corridor, Xiao Mo raised his hand and pointed upwards:
"We're here, let's go up."
Just as Xiao Mo was about to go up, he heard Huang Liang hesitating with an ugly expression:
"that……"
Xiao Mo thought Huang Liang was worried that this was a dangerous building, so he explained awkwardly:
"What's wrong? This building is a bit old, but it shouldn't collapse."
Huang Liang's strange expression remained unchanged, but he still nodded and followed Xiao Mo up.
As soon as he went upstairs, he saw his neighbor Aunt Wang coming down with the garbage. When she saw Xiao Mo, she smiled and asked:
"Did you bring friends back today?"
"Yes, he is my classmate."
After hearing this, Aunt Wang smiled, nodded at Huang Liang, and then went downstairs.
Huang Liang also asked Xiao Mo at this time:
"Who were you talking to?"
"Ah, Aunt Wang who lives next door to me."
After that, Xiao Mo didn't see any acquaintances again and took Huang Liang back to his home.
Huang Liang looked around curiously and asked Xiao Mo:
"Do you live here alone on weekdays? Where are your uncle and aunt?"
"I live alone. My parents are both abroad and rarely come back."
Huang Liang nodded, and then he came to Xiao Mo's bedroom. As soon as he came in, the round mirror opposite him, which was as tall as a person, attracted his attention. Such a large mirror is not uncommon, but it is rare to have the mirror facing the door.
"With such a big mirror standing opposite the door, aren't you afraid to get up to go to the bathroom at night?"
"Well, this mirror has been here since we moved it in, so I'm too lazy to move it."
Xiao Mo walked over with a smile and handed the drink in his hand to Huang Liang. Huang Liang took the drink and came to Xiao Mo's desk again. Seeing that the desk was piled with all kinds of horror books, Huang Liang swallowed and couldn't help asking:
"I can't believe you're interested in this kind of book."
"I'm just bored and watching."
At this time, Xiao Mo also sat down, and Huang Liang suddenly stopped talking. The room suddenly became extremely quiet.
Xiao Mo couldn't stand this oppression, so he quickly found another topic and said:
"You know, I went to the police station to record my statement that day and found something very strange."
Huang Liang's hand holding the drink trembled, and he asked hurriedly:
"whats the matter?"
"You should know about the conflict between Youshan and I during those two days, right?"
"I heard from Youshan. He told me that you said he called you in the middle of the night to harass you, crying and shouting for help. But he told me that it wasn't him who made the call."
Hearing this, Xiao Mo's face flashed with self-blame, and he nodded and said:
"Youshan didn't lie at that time. He didn't call me for help during those two days, but it was him who called."
Huang Liang looked at Xiao Mo in confusion, obviously not understanding what he meant. Xiao Mo read it and repeated it in detail:
"Youshan also called me on the day he was killed. The content of the call was the same as the previous two times, both of them were shouting for help. At first I thought it was the story of the boy who cried wolf, and the calls from Youshan two days ago were pranks, but the last one was real.
Later in the police station I realized that the contents of those three phone calls were all true, because Youshan called me a total of three times on the day he was killed!
But for some reason, I received two calls two days ago! And Youshan was not in danger at that time! "
Huang Liang felt the room was chilly after hearing this, and got goose bumps all over his body. This was too weird. But it also confirmed his guess that Zhang Youshan's death was definitely not a simple murder, but... a murder by a ghost!!!
Huang Liang didn't speak for a long time, and the air in the room became a little tense. Just as Xiao Mo was about to find another topic, Huang Liang spoke first:
"If my guess is correct, Youshan called you because he thought you knew something that might be able to save him."
This time, it was Xiao Mo who was shocked: "Why do you say that?"
"You know, two days ago you questioned him about the harassing phone calls, and he must have been very depressed. Later, for some reason, he came to school in the middle of the night, and then experienced a series of incredible things, which he thought were not something the police could solve, so he thought of you.
Because you mentioned to him that he once called you at midnight, yelling for you to go to the school playground to save him. Your words at that time happened to be similar to his experience at that time, which gave him the illusion that you could predict the future, so he chose to call you. "
Huang Liang's words kept echoing in Xiao Mo's mind. The more he thought about it, the more it made sense to him. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
However, Huang Liang did not stop there. He continued with a serious expression:
"Also, there is something else I wonder if you know?"
