Chapter 797 - Nightmare Weaved by Everyone (1/2)

“No problem.” Zhou Tu gave his promise almost without hesitation. From his perspective, students should listen to their teachers. After getting the promise from Zhou Tu, Chen Ge nodded lightly. He did not request for the club to follow many formalities; he merely needed every one of the members to follow his orders.
“You will all feel glad for having made this choice in a while.” Chen Ge looked at the busy western campus. “It is not my intention to change all this, but everyone has the right to know. After all, this nightmare is weaved from everyone’s collective memory.”
The students had no idea what he was talking about. They just felt like this Mr. Bai was different from other teachers.
“Alright, now that we have gotten to know each other, we will begin today’s club activity now.” Chen Ge signaled for the members to get closer. “Have you heard of any ghost stories regarding our school?”
“Teacher, what do you mean?” Zhou Tu had a bad feeling in his stomach. This teacher appeared like he was going to take them to go and do something dangerous.
“Since our club is supernatural phenomenon observation club, our club activity will be to study these phenomena. What’s wrong with that?” Chen Ge said with such severity that the students had to believe him.
“That is not wrong technically, but won’t people think that we’re ahem… if we go searching for supernatural phenomenon like that?” Zhu Long coughed drily. He blanked on a favorable description. “Furthermore, it’s getting late. If we’re discovered by other teachers, won’t we get into trouble?”
“Don’t worry.” Chen Ge took out Mr. Bai’s identification document. His finger was still expertly blocking the picture. “The school won’t fault us. I’ll be there to explain everything.”
Hearing the promise from Chen Ge, Zhou Tu and Zhu Long visibly relaxed, but Wang Yicheng still looked like there was something bothering him.
“Xiao Wang, what’s on your mind? There’s no need to hide anything now that you’re part of the club.”
“Mr. Bai, I was thinking, what if we really run into something that we shouldn’t, then what can we do? We are just a few normal students.” It was unclear whether Wang Yicheng was really scared by the ghost story told by his senior or there was something in his memory that had not properly been cleaned. In any case, when Chen Ge said that he was going to take them to study supernatural phenomena, this student’s reaction had been rather weird.
“Certain things have to be seen to be believed. Also, there’s no need to worry about your safety. Even though our club is small, every member is an elite. Furthermore, I’ll be there with you. Everything is under control,” Chen Ge said confidently and calmly. He gave off a very trustworthy feeling. “So, let’s hear it. What kind of ghost stories about this school have you guys heard of?”
The pavilion was not as busy as before. Most of the students had completed their club registration. The surrounding temperature appeared to have dropped as well.
“I heard of a ghost story before. Even though I believe it should have been made up, I’ve met the person in the story.” Zhang Ju was the first to speak. “Yesterday, when I arrived at the university, because of my unique circumstances, the teacher asked me to go to the office for some questions, asking if I need any help. At the time, there was a senior inside the office. He was crying nonstop, mumbling a girl’s name on his lips.
“I overheard the conversation between him and the teacher. I found that the name that he kept repeating was the name of one of his admirers. That day was his birthday. The girl had asked to meet him in the small garden to confess her feelings to him, but he had rejected her.
“At the time, he didn’t think much of it. He had followed his dormitory mates back to drink and play, forgetting all about it. However, the next day, the school announced that the girl had gone missing. In the end, they found the girl’s body inside the garden—she had died a horrible death.
