Chapter 85 - I Should Be Afraid! (1/2)

Translator: Lonelytree  Editor: Millman97

From the sliver of the door that was left ajar, Chen Ge saw the red shadow stop before the sixth cubicle. There was just a thin partition between them. Time seemed to have slowed down for the imminent confrontation.

Several seconds later, the red shadow leaned toward the door, and at the same time, Chen Ge raised his mallet. Chen Ge watched as the red shadow made contact with the door. As the door creaked open, every muscle in Chen Ge’s body tensed.

Before the door was completely opened, the red shadow had started to phase through the door. Facing the dangerous threat, Chen Ge’s survival instinct caused him to smash his mallet on the red shadow, and in the same motion, he aimed a strong kick at the door!

Bang!

The decrepit cubicle door understandably could not withstand his assault. It flew off its hinges and slammed into the red shadow, which did not even have the chance to evade. The red shadow did not anticipate this, and its body started to blur as it rolled on the floor. Then it ran out of the toilet.

Chen Ge gasped greedily for air. He had expected a fierce battle, but his opponent appeared to have a much weaker heart than he had anticipated. Chen Ge’s sudden appearance seemed to have spooked it.

Has the thing forgotten its ghostly identity? Chen Ge did not relax as he gripped the mallet tightly. After the red shadow made its escape, children’s crying drifted out from the fifth cubicle. The two kids, who Chen Ge assumed to be the woman’s children, were still inside the toilet.

“Stop crying!” This was a common trope in scary movies. A creepy sound of tears that came from inside the toilet, it should have been scary, but with an angry warning from Chen Ge, the children’s crying really did stop.

He blocked the entrance of the fifth cubicle angrily. The two children had their hands over their lips, their pale faces filled with fear.

“Why are you two acting like the victims‽”

Chen Ge’s emotions were a bit out of control from the intense confrontation with the red shadow. His loud voice combined with the dangerous-looking mallet scared the two kids in the cubicle. They held each other’s hands as they half-crawled, half-ran out of the toilet.

Was I being a bit too harsh there?

The two children could very well be Fan Yu’s brother and sister. Whether it was for the deep well mission or to investigate the disappearance of Fan Yu’s parents, he had to follow the two children. The two kids ran very fast while Chen Ge chased after them. They soon left the education block and entered the office building next to it.

Chen Ge followed closely behind them. When he got onto the second floor, the two kids suddenly disappeared.

Where did they go?

The interior of the office building was different from the two other buildings at Mu Yang High School; the whole building had been spared from the fire, and it was much cleaner.

Chen Ge pushed open a random door and peeked in. The room had two tables and a bookshelf. There was flower pot sitting on the window sill.

They disappeared in the blink of an eye, where could they be hiding?

After walking deeper into the room, Chen Ge noticed a faded plaque lying on the floor. It read ‘Mathematics’.
