Volume 5: Campus Ghost Stories Chapter 93 Investigation
Ling Tian never thought that the ghost had extinguished the candle! According to what Lin Tao told him, the ghost should be afraid of the candle and dare not approach it. As long as he can hold on until the next day, the strange talk will disappear, but what should he do now?
The moment the ghost extinguished the candle, Ling Tian threw the candle in his hand at the ghost's face in horror, and he quickly took a step back.
During this process, the ghost's head stuck out of the wall, and its mouth suddenly grew huge like a snake, and it swallowed the frightened Wang Bing in one gulp.
"ah--!"
Wang Bing's howl pushed Ling Tian's heart completely into the swamp of fear, and he was sinking deeper and deeper.
"What's going on? Is Lin Tao lying to me? Aren't ghosts afraid of candlelight? How could they be extinguished by it?" Ling Tian didn't dare to pause for a moment. He glanced at the window in the room, only to see that it was pitch black outside. Jumping out of the window was the second method Lin Tao told him, but he was not sure whether this method was feasible. After all, he only conceived an outline, while the specific details were left for the story to develop on its own.
"To jump or not to jump?"
Ling Tian finally chose to turn around and run away. He did not jump out of the window as Lin Tao said, but quickly escaped from Room 2. The evil ghost in the wall also quickly drilled out of the wall and chased after him.
Ling Tian came out of Room 2 and rushed into Room 1. After entering Room 1, he ran towards the window desperately, and the ghost had already chased him into Room 1.
When the ghost saw Ling Tian trying to escape by jumping out of the window, its long hair covering its face quickly shot towards Ling Tian.
Ling Tian was only one meter away from the window at this moment. Just as he was about to break the window and escape, his body was entangled by the ghost's hair.
It would only take the next moment for the ghost to pull him back and kill him. In this moment of life and death, Ling Tian turned around and used the lighter he had been holding in his hand to set the ghost's hair on fire. The ghost's hair suddenly burned like weeds, and Ling Tian's clothes also burned at the same time. In just a short moment, Ling Tian almost became a man of fire.
"ah--!"
The intense burning pain caused Ling Tian to let out a painful howl, but along with the painful howl, his body rushed forward fiercely, smashing the glass on the window and escaping.
Ling Tian only felt that he was falling rapidly, and the flames on his body burned even more vigorously due to the wind created by the rapid downward movement. Ling Tian immediately let out several screams of pain.
The flames that permeated his body had already set him on fire. Ling Tian could even smell the burnt smell of his flesh. Just when Ling Tian thought he was dead, his body appeared in the Death Base. The moment he returned to the Death Base, the flames that permeated his body were extinguished, and his skin that had been burned beyond recognition began to repair rapidly.
Ling Tian finally survived. After seeing the evil ghost extinguish the candle, Ling Tian no longer believed Lin Tao's words, so he did not jump from window No. 2 but chose window No. 1. This can be said to be a choice he made based on his intuition. At that time, he felt that if he jumped from window No. 2, he would definitely die!
When Ling Tian's whole body was repaired, Ling Tian's heart was still filled with panic. He didn't know why Lin Tao lied to him, or he didn't know why the mission changed.
“It was a close call, but I finally survived!”
"Mission execution period (second day)."
The other five people were completely unaware of what happened to Ling Tian, but early the next morning, at the morning meeting.
"Oh no! Five students from Class 2 of Grade 9 are missing!"
"Missing?" Li Xuan murmured softly, and asked the panicked teacher, "What happened exactly?"
Hearing that some students were missing, Zhang Fengyu and others who were sitting on the side felt nervous. Obviously, a ghost story had appeared. If those students were missing, it meant that they had become part of a ghost story and might have been killed by ghosts.
Hearing Li Xuan's question, the dormitory inspection teacher hurriedly said, "When I went to inspect the dormitories at 10 o'clock yesterday, there were originally six students in Dormitory 306, but at that time there was only one left. I asked that student, and he said that he didn't see them at dinner. After hearing this, I thought that they must have taken advantage of Uncle Li's old age and sneaked through the electronic door to go online. But I went to Uncle Li to pull out the video and watched it carefully, but there was no sign of the five of them. Do you want me to call their parents now to ask?"
Li Xuan shook her head and said, "Our school is surrounded by high walls that cannot be stepped on. If they want to jump out, they have to jump over the electronic door. Since they are not recorded in the video, they should still be in the school. Don't worry about this matter. I will send a teacher to investigate in the school. Don't alarm their parents for now."
The dormitory teacher nodded in agreement after hearing what Li Xuan said, and Zhang Fengyu asked at this time: "What are the names of those five students?"
After hearing this, the dormitory teacher took out the notebook from his pocket and read from it: "Li Yan, Zhang Hua, Wang Bing, Qin Feng, Ling Tian, these five students."
Hearing that Ling Tian was among the missing students, Zhang Fengyu and the other three looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
Li Xuan said to a middle-aged woman wearing glasses below : "Director Wang, this matter falls under the jurisdiction of your political department. I'll leave the matter of the five children to you. Find out the cause and report to me as soon as possible."
After hearing Li Xuan's instructions, Wang Ling, director of the Political Department, nodded, stopped the meeting, and pushed the door and walked out.
Li Xuan simply gave a few more instructions and ended the meeting.
Zhang Fengyu and the other three all stayed behind at the same time. Li Xuan also walked over upon seeing this. They were not allowed to mention anything about this mission, so they could only chat briefly. However, everyone could see the deep doubts in each other's eyes.
"As for the matter of the five students, I will tell you as soon as I have any results. You'd better investigate it privately as well. In short, be careful about everything."
The four of them nodded and left. On the way, Juedai looked at Shabude, who was dressed in a suit and wearing a small white hat, and laughed while holding his stomach.
"Haha, I'm dying of laughter, you're so handsome! You have no hair and you're wearing a hat. Didn't you teach me some Buddhist teachings or something? Namo Amitabha, good and good, haha!"
Sha Bude's head was filled with black lines. He snorted coldly and cursed at Juedai: "Stop talking nonsense. Don't forget that I am the dean of studies now. Pay attention to your own identity!"
After Sha Bude finished cursing, he pushed Juedai away with a dignified look on his face and strode towards his office. Juedai curled his lips and said, "What a cocky thing to do, you old bald donkey!"
Soon it was afternoon.
"all!"
"Come in!"
"Principal, I have checked the matter you gave me this morning, but the five children are still not found. I asked some children who usually have a good relationship with them, and they all told me a situation. They said that before they disappeared, Li Yan once asked them if they wanted to secretly go to the storage room with them at night to check, but they refused."
After listening to this, Li Xuan pondered for a moment and then asked, "Isn't the storage room on the sixth floor of our building?"
"Yes, it's on the sixth floor."
"Has Old Wang, the doorman downstairs, asked?"
"I asked him about it, and Lao Wang said he didn't see anyone coming in after school, but I didn't check the video."
"Anyway, I have nothing to do right now. I'll go with you to retrieve the video. Five children missing is a big deal. If we can't find them, we'll have to call the police, which will undoubtedly affect the reputation of our school."
Wang Ling sighed deeply after hearing this. The school's political department was like a secret service department. Its purpose was to pay close attention to the students' movements. Once something happened, the political department would handle it first. However, she had never expected that a student would go missing in the school.
"Hey, if something really happens to these five students, then we will be in trouble!"
Li Xuan and the other person came downstairs and pulled up the video of last night. As the images kept flashing by, Li Xuan suddenly said, "Stop! Rewind a little!"
After hearing this, Lao Wang also rewound the picture slightly, and saw two shadows appear in a corner of the picture.
Li Xuan pointed at the shadow and said, "At this time, the teachers have all gone off work, so how could there be a shadow here?"
After Li Xuan said this, Wang Ling reacted quickly and said in a daze: "There were students hiding in the corner over there at the time. They really came in here!"
When Lao Wang heard what Wang Ling said, his face turned ugly. He remembered that at that time yesterday, he was watching a TV series with great interest. It was very likely that the five students sneaked into the office building at that time.
"Principal, I..."
"Stop talking! Nothing better happen, or you can just wait and pack up and go home!"
After Li Xuan left these cold words, he and Wang Ling went upstairs.
