Chapter 737 - You Think He’s Crazy, but He’s Actually the Devil! [2 in 1] (2/2)
Xiao Gou did not want to scare Lee Bo, so he did not reveal the whole truth. “Just ignore him. Remember, if there’s anything that doesn’t feel right, leave this classroom as fast as you can.”
After saying that, Xiao Gou started to move toward the next corner.
Perhaps he was imagining it, but Xiao Gou felt like the darkness around him had thickened. It felt like there was a black hole in front of him, and it would suck everything that wandered too close into it. With his hands on the wall, Xiao Gou slowly nudged himself toward the corner that Chen Ge had occupied earlier, and there was the shadow in the shape of a person standing before him.
He walked closer and reached out his hand, but just as his finger was about to fall on the person’s shoulder, Xiao Gou was suddenly reminded of a small detail. Chen Ge was the person who had started this round, so technically speaking, the corner that Chen Ge had originally occupied should have been empty!
Chen Ge had already moved onto the next corner, so who was the person standing in that corner‽
The feeling of fear rushed at him from all corners. Xiao Gou’s hand dangled weakly in midair, and he was suddenly reminded of something even scarier. The game had already finished one whole round, but so far, no one had coughed. In other words, it could only mean that there was more than one ghost inside this classroom!
The arm that was raised could not be lowered anymore. Xiao Gou had exhausted all the courage he could summon. After a moment’s hesitation, he came to a decision. He touched the shoulder of the person before him lightly and then immediately jumped back a few meters.
It was not until the person wandered away that Xiao Gou sighed in relief. He did not stay in the corner for too long. Instead, he stealthily moved to the hidden pathway that was only known to the Haunted House workers and then decided to hide inside it.
I can’t stay here any longer!
Xiao Gou took out his phone and wanted to send a message to Lee Bo to inform him of the bad news when his boss’ voice came from the earpiece. “Gou Jun, what the hell are you doing? The visitor is still inside the classroom. I want you to go and scare him, so what are you doing running out like that?”
“Boss, listen to me, something is really different today!” Xiao Gou tried his best to explain to his boss, but the game was still continuing inside the classroom.
The footsteps echoed constantly in the classroom, and very soon, Lee Bo felt someone pat his shoulder. This honest little fatty did not think too much of it and continued to move ahead. When he reached the corner where Xiao Gou was supposed to be, he discovered that the corner was empty.
“Brother Gou?” Lee Bo stood at the corner alone. He paused and looked around for a few seconds. Then he followed the new rules set by Chen Ge and coughed once before moving to the next corner. In the dark classroom, Lee Bo felt increasingly worried. He slowly but surely reached Chen Ge’s corner. However, when he reached that corner, he realized that the corner was also empty!
Where is he? Where is the visitor?
Completely blinded by this development, there was nothing else Lee Bo could have done but continue with the game. Lee Bo coughed again and made his way to the next corner. The classroom was so quiet that he could only hear his own heartbeat and his own footsteps.
When he reached the third corner, Lee Bo finally realized that something was not right because this corner was empty as well.
“Where is everyone?” Lee Bo did not dare to move recklessly. He tried to contact Xiao Gou, but the person did not give him any reply. He thought about giving up, but whenever he felt like doing so, the warning that Chen Ge had given earlier would appear in his mind. If he stopped the supernatural game halfway, he would be pursued by the spirits for the rest of his life.
Just the thought of that caused Lee Bo to shiver. Devoid of options, he could only force himself to continue. How come it feels like I’m the only one left in the classroom?
Near the backdoor, Xiao Gou had just finished explaining the situation to his boss and was about to reply to Lee Bo’s message when he saw Lee Bo walking toward him through the window on the backdoor.
No matter what, this game cannot be continued anymore. When Lee Bo comes closer, I’ll drag him out with him. And the visitor… I’m sure he’ll have fun with the game on his own. After all, this is exactly what the boss wishes to happen to him.
With his hand on the doorknob, Xiao Gou observed Lee Bo through the window. He opened the door a fraction and was about to open his lips to call out Lee Bo’s name when a chill rushed right up to the top of his head!
Xiao Gou could very clearly see that there were three swaying figures following behind Lee Bo!
They stuck to Lee Bo closely, and their footsteps were eerily similar to Lee Bo’s, but Lee Bo did not seem to notice this at all!
There are three of them‽
His butt fell against the ground. Xiao Gou’s legs kicked on the ground as he staggered backward, and he screamed at the top of his lungs, “Lee Bo! Run!”
The sudden scream gave Lee Bo quite a fright. When he noticed that the classroom’s backdoor was open and Xiao Gou pointing crazily behind him, his natural reaction was to turn his neck around.
Three figures stuck close to him, and three different faces reflected in his eyes.
“Who summoned us to play this game? How come we haven’t seen you before?”
The reply was an ear-splitting scream. This was the first time that Chen Ge had heard such a shrill scream escape from a male’s mouth.
He watched the big body knock into the backdoor and then shoot out like a cannon. Chen Ge did not move to chase after the boy. He pulled back the Pen Spirit and Ol’ Zhou. He turned back to pick up the diary that had fallen on the ground and turned it to the third page.
On the last page of the first diary entry, the following was recorded. “Four kids played the four corners game inside an abandoned classroom. The three older kids purposely ganged up to bully the youngest child, and in their carelessness, they caused the youngest child to perish in an accident.
“Later, all three of the older children disappeared, and on the seventh day of the youngest child’s death, his family found three dolls made from paddy stalks under his bed. On the back of each of the three dolls was a different name— Chui Ming 1 , Gou Hun 2 , and Li Po 3 .
This first entry is describing the first scary scenario, which is the four corners game inside the abandoned classroom. In that case, the second diary entry should correspond to the second scenario.
Sitting inside the creepy Haunted House set, Chen Ge flipped to the second entry with curiosity. There was a pretty girl by the name of Die. She had fallen in love with a boy, and to prevent her confession from being rejected, she decided to ask the Pen Spirit for an opinion.
The Pen Spirit game? Chen Ge stopped reading then. He had an unreadable expression on his face. Even with the same theme, I hope that they can bring me a different feeling.
Without going ahead to read the other diary entries, Chen Ge walked out from the classroom’s backdoor.
Should I head directly to the Pen Spirit’s scenario, or should I go borrow some tools from the doctor first?
He looked down the dark corridor and shook his head.
Oh well, I’ll guess I’ll carry on. No matter what, I’m going to clear this Haunted House today.
