Volume 1 Campus Horror Chapter 0013 Confusion
After explaining some matters clearly, Chang Lengfeng and his companions left, and Xiao Mo also found an excuse to deliberately avoid Huang Liang. After that, he took a taxi to the local police station, and his purpose was naturally to call the police.
"Hello, I want to find someone who is a little fat and whose eyes are not too big..."
After Xiao Mo came in, he did not explain the problem immediately, but asked the fat policeman who had questioned him that day.
"Are you his relative?"
"No, but I have something urgent to talk to him about. I don't have his cell phone number, so I came here."
"I see, but we don't have the person you describe here."
"No? That won't happen. We met a few days ago."
"There are only a dozen of us here. If there really was someone, how could I not remember him? Of course, you can tell me if you encounter any difficulties."
Xiao Mo was very surprised after hearing this. A few days ago, the fat policeman had asked him about this, but when he asked today, there was no such person in the police station. He felt something was wrong, and after thinking for a while, he asked again:
"It's okay if I don't look for him. There are still two..."
Xiao Mo described the appearance of the two policemen who took him back to the police station that day, thinking that the two policemen must know the existence of the fat policeman. However, the answer he got this time made him even more horrified.
"I don't know where you heard that they were police officers. There are no three people in the police station. Besides, I have been here for the past few days and have never seen you come in, let alone anyone interrogating you.
I don't think you are brave enough to joke with the police here, right? "
At this moment, Xiao Mo's mind was completely confused, and another of his cognitions was shattered.
There were only a dozen people in the entire police station? But when he came in that day, he saw no less than thirty people. What frightened him the most was that the two people who took him back to the police station and the fat man who interrogated him did not exist at all!
Thinking of this, Xiao Mo suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. If those three people did not exist, then who was the person who took him to the police station that day?
Also, was the place he went to really the police station?
Looking at Xiao Mo's changing face, the policeman sitting opposite him said with concern:
"I think you should go see a doctor. Maybe you've been under too much stress lately, so you've been experiencing some visual and auditory hallucinations."
Xiao Mo nodded quietly, but then he asked:
"Several of my classmates have gone missing. I can't get through to them on the phone, and no one is replying to my text messages."
"Maybe they just changed their phone numbers."
"Would more than ten people change their phone numbers at the same time? Also, I want to ask, has anyone reported such a case to the police recently? About a missing student?"
"I can tell you with absolute certainty that there is none."
After coming out of the police station, Xiao Mo's mind was completely confused. He could no longer figure out what was real and what was fake. His experiences in recent days had completely overturned his previous cognition. The non-existent classroom, the supernatural power, the haunted building full of ghosts, and the mirror with a ghost door...
Now someone told him that he had never been to the police station, and no fat man had interrogated him. The city had been peaceful recently, with no murders, no missing persons, and no one had reported a missing person case.
Were Chen Qing and the others lying, or were the police lying, or was he the only one who was receiving these false impressions? He couldn't tell the difference at all. He even felt that this was just a dream, a very real dream.
Xiao Mo was in a daze from the afternoon to the evening, and he couldn't think at all. It would be fine if others lied to him, but if even his eyes were deceiving him, then he really didn't know what to do.
With such an emotion, Xiao Mo abided by the agreement with Chang Lengfeng and others and returned to school before the school gate closed. There were still many people in the school at this time, but he did not feel any sense of existence, as if he was the most redundant one.
This time, Xiao Mo did not take any risks, and regardless of Zhang Da's gloomy expression, he insisted on staying outside the school with Chen Qing and Qin Youru. As for the remaining three people, they could only wait inside the school.
As the electronic gate opened and closed, the number of students on the playground decreased, and soon the campus fell into silence again. The three people on the playground had clear division of labor, with Huang Liang, the bravest one, waiting in front of the teaching building, while Zhang Da and Chang Lengfeng waited under the flagpole and in front of the gate respectively.
In this way, no matter where Ji Ruhai appears from, they can step forward to stop him in the first place.
Midnight was approaching. In the darkness, six pairs of eyes kept blinking. The sound of the cool breeze blowing was heard all around, and it sounded like a baby crying in their ears.
Xiao Mo's attention has always been on his mobile phone. The time has come to midnight and Ji Ruhai should show up.
The only path leading to the school was still extremely deep and dark, but there was still no one in sight.
Chang Lengfeng and the others did not gain anything, and Ji Ruhai did not show up. Unable to hear any sound from the campus, Xiao Mo came to the door again despite Chen Qing's objection, and then stood up and looked inside.
The playground was empty, nothing, nothing... Chang Lengfeng and the other two disappeared!
"Quick, come here! The squad leader and the others are gone!"
"No, no!"
Chen Qing and Qin Youru were both short, so for them this electronic door was like a ravine. They couldn't even climb over it, let alone climb in. At this point, they could only worry and couldn't help at all.
Although Xiao Mo was also very anxious, he didn't dare to go in. Three big living people disappeared, wouldn't it be the same if he went in? He took a long breath, and soon calmed down. He turned around and shouted to Chen Qing and the others behind him:
"I'm going to call Huang Liang now, and you guys are responsible for contacting the other two!"
After saying that, Xiao Mo dialed Huang Liang's cell phone. He thought the call wouldn't go through, but unexpectedly it did.
The notification sounded for a long time, and then Huang Liang's dazed voice came from the phone:
"Hello."
"Where did you go? Did you stop Ji Ruhai?"
"We were at the door of the teaching building and failed to stop Ji Ruhai. He had already gone in."
"He went in? You three were guarding three places, how could you let him in?"
"We only saw a shadow flash by, and when we looked again he had already gone inside. The door was still locked with a padlock, so we had no way to get in."
"What about the squad leader and the others?"
“They are right next to me.”
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Mo was relieved. At least Huang Liang was fine. He couldn't see the direction of the teaching building from where he was. The three people disappeared and probably went there.
Soon, Chang Lengfeng and the other two climbed over the electronic door, with disappointment Ji Ruhai's body was already on the flagpole. Needless to say, tonight's attempt to stop the attack had failed again, or the plan was simply impossible to succeed.
"There is indeed some kind of power controlling them. That kind of ghostly speed is simply not something humans can possess. However, through the situations in the past two days, we can confirm one thing, that is, there must be some kind of power in the teaching building that attracts them. They all entered the teaching building first, and then their bodies appeared on the flagpole."
Chang Lengfeng's words were recognized by everyone. Xiao Mo thought for a while and asked:
"So these people were killed in the teaching building, and their bodies were strung on the flagpole after death?"
"That should be the case." Chang Lengfeng nodded in agreement.
"That's very strange." Xiao Mo frowned and continued:
"Assuming that there really is some kind of power in the teaching building, and Ji Ruhai and others were killed by this power, then why would that power string their bodies on the flagpole?
Is it just to scare us and make us fearful? That doesn’t make sense.”
"Yeah, there's no need to do that. The person is already dead, so why not just discard the body wherever you want?"
After hearing what Xiao Mo said, Huang Liang also felt that it made sense and agreed with surprise.
Chang Lengfeng looked at Xiao Mo's eyes that were still bright in the darkness and asked in a deep voice:
"Do you have any ideas?"
"I do have a guess. If that power wants to continue killing people, it must string the bodies onto the flagpole. This way, it can kill the second person and then string the body onto the flagpole, and repeat the cycle.
It was like some kind of sacrificial ritual, only by doing this can one gain power. Also, judging from the fact that their bodies suddenly appeared on the flagpole, there might be a connection between the flagpole and somewhere in the teaching building, otherwise the bodies would not have appeared out of thin air on it.”
Before Xiao Mo finished speaking, Chen Qing immediately retorted:
"Sacrifice should be impossible, unless it was done by a human. Also, I don't think the teaching building has any connection with the flagpole. Think about it, it would be too easy for that kind of power to string the corpse on it without anyone noticing."
"Well, that's indeed possible."
Xiao Mo nodded and agreed with Chen Qing's statement.
