Volume 5: Campus Ghost Stories Chapter 92 Candlelight
The moment Zhang Hua heard that it was Li Yan on the other end of the line, he felt as if his whole body was covered with a layer of ice. His heartbeat became faster and faster. Everything around him seemed to become quiet at that moment. He could only hear his heartbeat until Ling Tian's trembling voice reached his ears: "Zhang Hua, get out of here! That phone is not connected to the phone line at all!!!"
"ah--!"
After hearing this, Zhang Hua's fear completely broke out. He let out a scream in horror, and then he was horrified to find that Ling Tian had disappeared, or rather, Ling Tian's watch had completely lost the light it should have. For a moment, Zhang Hua was completely immersed in the darkness.
Originally there was still some light here, at least Zhang Hua could still see Ling Tian and knew that although it was scary here, there was still someone to accompany him. But now there is not a trace of light at all. All he can see is darkness, and all he can feel is deathly silence.
Zhang Hua's legs completely weakened, and he fell heavily to the ground. He shouted frantically: "Ling Tian! Ling Tian!"
As Zhang Hua was shouting, he was suddenly patted on the back, and then Ling Tian's voice came: "Zhang Hua, I'm here, where are you?"
After hearing Ling Tian's response, Zhang Hua swallowed hard. Ling Tian's voice was far away from him, so who was the person who put his hand on his back now?
Just when Zhang Hua turned his head nervously, Ling Tian's watch regained its light. When Zhang Hua turned his head, the first thing he saw in the faint light was five bloodless pale fingers and the bright red nails on them.
Zhang Hua opened his mouth in horror. For some reason he was unable to take any action. He could only watch everything with horror on his face and his mouth open.
The hand on Zhang Hua's back slowly moved upwards along his back. As this hand moved upwards, the other hand also slowly moved upwards. However, Zhang Hua did not see the faces of the owners of these two hands.
Ling Tian looked at the scene happening in front of him, his legs began to tremble. After loudly reminding Zhang Hua, he desperately fled towards the location where Li Yan and others were.
"Zhang Hua, it's underneath you!"
Zhang Hua was struggling desperately at this time, but the two hands were holding him tightly. After hearing Ling Tian's reminder, Zhang Hua turned his head and looked down, only to see a ghost with a gray face and bloodshot eyes slowly extending from under him. At this moment, the ghost seemed to be looking at some delicious food, and saliva kept dripping from the corners of its mouth.
After seeing this scene, Zhang Hua's eyes widened like fish eyes, and his heartbeat stopped at this moment. He was scared to death by the ghost, and the ghost broke his body in half the moment Zhang Hua died!
At this time, Li Yan and the other two were banging on the door frantically with unbelievable fear. They didn't expect that they would actually encounter a ghost.
Otherwise how could they explain that he called his class teacher but it was Zhang Hua who answered the phone? Now they remembered that if the sixth floor was shorter than the first five floors, it would be obvious from the appearance. However, the office building is a standard building style and the area of each floor is the same, so it is easy to imagine what is going on with this floor.
"Someone come! Someone come quickly!"
"Is there anyone here? There's a ghost here!"
"Please, someone come and save us!"
The three of them kept crying and banging on the door, but the result was obviously predictable. At this time, Ling Tian ran over and saw the three of them like this. He shouted to them: "What are you still doing here! Zhang Hua may have been killed by the ghost. The ghost will come here soon . Why don't you run away now!!!"
"My legs are so weak, Lingtian, please save me, take me with you !" Li Yan cried and begged Lingtian.
Ling Tian ignored Li Yan. Seeing that the three of them were unable to stand up, he no longer cared about their lives. He desperately ran towards the other end, where he had hope of survival.
"Lin Tao said that this ghost is afraid of the light of candles. There is a candle in the third room. As long as the candle is lit , the ghost will not be able to kill me!"
Ling Tian really didn't expect such a thing to happen. He originally thought that as long as he saw the place where the ghost story happened with his own eyes, he would have completed the mission. However, from the fact that he has not returned to the Death Base yet, it is not difficult to see that seeing the ghost story is useless. He must survive the ghost story. This is the real difficulty of this mission, not finding the place where the ghost story happened as Li Xuan and others thought.
Ling Tian’s hope now lies in the two methods that Lin Tao told him before. However, these methods cannot be used whenever he wants. It depends on whether the ghost gives him this opportunity and whether his luck is good.
Ling Tian didn't know how long this passage was. He hadn't seen a single room so far, but he felt that someone was following him. Every time he felt this, he ran forward even harder.
"Is it a ghost or Li Yan and his group following me?"
"Lingtian, wait for us!"
Just when Ling Tian was still in doubt, the voices of Li Yan and the other two came from behind him. Ling Tian did not dare to stop. In the information Zhang Fengyu gave him, there were many records that ghosts had the ability to transform. He was afraid that he would be killed by the ghosts if he stopped.
Ling Tian did not stop, but gritted his teeth and increased his speed a little bit more, and a scream was heard behind him.
"ah--!"
Ling Tian recognized the voice, it was Qin Feng!
"Qin Feng was killed by a ghost?"
"Ghost!" Li Yan and Wang Bing screamed and ran forward even more desperately. Qin Feng was right behind them, and the scream just now came from Qin Feng.
"What should I do, Li Yan? I don't want to die!" Wang Bing cried as he ran. Li Yan didn't know what to do at this moment. He was so scared that he almost peed his pants. If the ghost killed Qin Feng, wouldn't they be the next to die? Thinking of this, Li Yan's speed became faster.
As Ling Tian ran, he felt that his breathing had become very difficult. Apparently, his shortcoming of usually just sitting at home reading books and rarely doing exercise was exposed at this time.
"Hoo! Hoo! No, I can't run anymore!"
Just when Ling Tian couldn't hold on any longer, Li Yan and Wang Bing finally caught up. Li Yan thought that whether they could survive depended entirely on Ling Tian. After all, Ling Tian was a good student and should have more ideas than them.
"Ling Tian Gui is about to catch up, you have to think of a solution quickly, you are a good student, your brain must be better than ours, please, I don't want to die!"
"Please Lingtian..."
Ling Tian saw that the two men did not look like ghosts at this time. After thinking for a while, he said, "As long as we light the candle in the third room, the ghost will not kill us."
"But this is just a long corridor. There are no houses!"
Li Yan and Wang Bing had no doubts at all about Ling Tian's words. If Ling Tian said that they were in a dream and they could wake up by committing suicide, they would commit suicide without hesitation. After all, they were still children and did not have as many suspicions and thoughts as adults. It could be said that their hearts were pure and innocent.
"House! I saw the house!" Li Yan shouted excitedly.
Ling Tian and Wang Bing looked in the direction of Li Yan's flashlight. They saw three connected rooms in front of them. Above the rooms were marked "No. 1, No. 2, No. 3!"
After seeing this house, Ling Tian showed excitement on his face. Lin Tao told him that the safest way was to light the candle in room 3. In addition, there was another way he was not sure about, which was to break the window of room 2 and jump down.
"Even Lin Tao is not sure about the second option, so I will naturally not choose Room 3."
The three finally rushed into House No. 3 before the ghost caught up with them. House No. 3 was not very big. There was a candle placed in the room, and next to the candle was a box of matches, which was obviously prepared deliberately for the executor.
Seeing this, Ling Tian shouted anxiously: "Light the candle quickly!"
Li Yan picked up a match from the table and started to strike it, but because his hands were constantly shaking, he could not control the strength accurately. He broke the matchstick several times and could not light the fire at such a moment. Ling Tian was very anxious. Fortunately, Li Yan finally struck the match, but before it was lit, Ling Tian saw four legs under the table, two of which belonged to Li Yan. Wang Bing was standing next to him, so it was obvious whose legs those were. The ghost had entered the house, or the ghost had been waiting for them in the house!
The moment he saw the ghost, Ling Tian showed decisiveness. He pushed Li Yan aside fiercely, and then he quickly picked up the matches and candles on the table, turned around and pulled Wang Bing, who was standing there stiffly, to escape to Room 2.
As soon as the two escaped, they heard Li Yan's scream. It was obvious that Li Yan was also killed by the ghost!
The match had been soaked by the cold sweat in his hands and could not be lit at all. Ling Tian really hated himself for not knowing how to smoke so that he could carry a lighter with him. Suddenly, Ling Tian thought of Wang Bing.
"Wang Bing, give me your lighter!"
Wang Bing was completely frightened at this point. Hearing Ling Tian's words, he subconsciously reached into his pocket, took out a lighter and handed it to Ling Tian.
Ling Tian lit the candle without any hesitation.
After doing all this, Ling Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He glanced at Wang Bing, who had a dull look in his eyes, and felt somewhat fortunate. Wang Bing and Li Yan both had lighters in their pockets, but because of fear, they forgot about it. Ling Tian had also taken a gamble before, and he was glad that he was lucky that Wang Bing brought a lighter with him.
"It should be over now!" Ling Tian sighed, but fear appeared on his face again. A face appeared on the wall that he and Wang Bing were leaning against. That face belonged to the evil ghost!
However, the evil ghost was very afraid of the candlelight. Seeing this, Ling Tian pointed the candle at the evil ghost's face. Under the candlelight, the evil ghost's face showed intense pain, but then a scene that made Ling Tian despair appeared.
The ghost's claws suddenly stretched out from the wall and actually extinguished the candle!
