Chapter 54 (1/2)

Staring right at the wooden chair in the middle of the corridor, Chen Ge stood at the ready, gripping the mallet tightly. He waited for ten seconds, and the chair remained unmoved.

Is it because I’m watching it?

Chen Ge walked forward and turned on his phone’s recording function before cradling it within the chains on the door. Then, he walked back to the abandoned garden outside the building and waited patiently.

The school at midnight was unsettlingly quiet; there was not even the sound of a bird or insect chirping. About three minutes later, Chen Ge returned to the dormitory; he had prepared himself for the worst. However, when he stood at the glass door, he saw that the chair was still where it was, just one meter away from the broken hall light.

Didn’t move? What’s going on?

Chen Ge walked to the door and picked up the phone from the chain. He looked through the video and saw nothing out of the ordinary. The chair sat in the middle of the corridor just as it should.

It’ll only move when it’s around a living human?

When the thought appeared in his mind, Chen Ge instantly felt something was wrong. He turned to look down the corridor, and the chair had moved two meters ahead again; it was now incredibly close to the glass door!

It moved forward again? What does that mean? It only moves when I am close, does this mean it wants something from me?

It would have been a lie to say he was not afraid, but Chen Ge’s tolerance for fear was much higher than most, so he managed to maintain a clear mind under such situation.

The school is clearly haunted, but before I understand why, I should try my best to avoid these things.

Chen Ge actually wanted to smash the glass door and rushed in to bash the chair into pieces. However, considering the blind spots inside the building, he was afraid there were threats hidden in corners that he could not see. He was afraid that after entering the building, it was not the chair that would snap but himself.

Tonight’s main mission is to locate that pair of red dancing shoes. As long as this weird stuff doesn’t interrupt with my progress, there’s no reason for me to interact with it. Chen Ge grabbed his phone and retreated from the door. I’d better go investigate other places first. I can always return if I can’t find the dancing shoes. After all, the mission is considered successful as long as I locate them before sunrise; there is still plenty of time.

Chen Ge committed the location of the girl’s dormitory to memory before retracing his step back to the school gate. He switched his phone off and squatted near the main gate, holding the mallet in his hand.

Based on the time, the taxi behind me should have arrived already, so why is the road still so dark?

A car’s headlights would be extremely eye-catching against the total darkness, but Chen Ge waited for a long time without seeing any source of light heading toward the school.

Could there have been an accident?

This detail had not left his mind. Chen Ge knew there was no such thing as coincidence in this world; the person who followed him to Western Jiujiang’s Private Academy had some motive of their own.

The opponent probably knew that I would wait for them, so they came out from the car earlier and walked the rest of the way on foot? If that’s the case, then this is troublesome.

Chen Ge wished that he was wrong. He already had more than enough on his plate as it was.

In any case, I’ll need to pick up pace. I have two advantages on my side: I’ve familiarized myself with the surrounding since I got here first, and I have Zhang Ya on my side. She won’t watch me get bullied on her home turf, right?

Perhaps Chen Ge’s eyes had gotten used to the darkness, or maybe it was the effect of the Ying-Yang Vision, but things were no longer that blurry in the dark.

Those in the light open themselves to being hunted by those in the dark.
