Chapter 51 - Ghost School (5) (2/2)

Ou Yang’s face instantly went pale. He quickly ran towards the door that they had entered from but, as if there was some kind of unknown force, the door closed with a bang before his hand was able to reach the doorknob. Despite the lock clearly being broken, no matter now he twisted it the handle didn’t move.

“Please wait patiently. The elevator has reached the ninth-floor underground.”

A cold and deadpanned female voice sounded without a warning as it reported the floor the elevator is on.

“Open the door! Open the door!”

Ou Yang slammed his fist desperately against the tempered glass door. He even tried to use tools to try and shatter it, but it was all futile. Lu Jie and Liang Wen Bin ran over to the window only to find that those windows had also automatically closed. They were now completely trapped inside the teaching building.

“The elevator has reached the fifth-floor underground.”

Gu Zhen and Bai Yi remained calm. While the others weren’t paying attention, Yang Qian Fan took a picture of the elevator with a solemn expression.

Cheng Zhi Chu had also experienced this a few times. Although he was still a little nervous, it was much better than before.

If there wasn’t an instance character like Ou Yang and the others there, he would have chosen to use his cards to destroy the ghosts that are coming their way. However, because they are there and because the cards effects were too conspicuous, it would immediately arouse their suspicion so he couldn’t use it.

He had no better option. He could only think of escaping upstairs and then later finding an opportunity when he is away from the characters to deal with those ghosts.

Although he wasn’t sure if Gu Zhen had the same thoughts as him, Gu Zhen spoke up and said, “Lets go upstairs and hide.”

Ou Yang and the others were very flustered at this moment. When they heard Gu Zhen’s words, they didn’t stop to think and immediately rushed over to the stairs but at this moment they head a ‘ding’ coming from the elevator and the mechanical noises had stopped.

“You have reached the first-floor underground.”

“Hurry and cover you nose and mouth.” Gu Zhen frowned slightly and reminded them sternly, “Don’t make a noise.”

“Clack———”

The elevator door opened. The flickering lights inside reflected a bunch of pale white figures.

One, two……..dozens of figures floated out. Their entire body was white. Even their hair was a translucent milky white colour and their clothes were ragged. There were both old and new styles and some of them were old people while others were young.

These ghosts had obviously exceeded the elevator capacity and it was unknown how they had managed to squeeze inside. They all had dull expressions as they swayed and stumbled over very slowly.

If it wasn’t for Gu Zhen’s reminder, Ou Yang and the others would have already cried out in fear. Despite this, they were terrified to the point that their entire body trembled, and they desperately covered their nose and mouth, afraid to make any sounds.

“……………….”

Zhao Xiao Pang was a fat man and he sweated very easily. At this moment cold sweat continuously poured out from him as he trembled in fear. Not long later, his sweat had already soaked through his clothes. Perhaps it was because of this, the scent of a living human coming from him was too strong and several ghosts who had passed by him suddenly stopped and lifted their heads to smell the air.

They were almost stuck onto him as they sniffed at his body and carefully tried to discern his scent.

The heavy cold air was forced onto Zhao Xiao Pang causing all the hair on him to stand upright. His eyes widened in horror and sweat poured into his eye causing his eye to become a little bloodshot, but he still didn’t dare to even blink.

The ghosts didn’t leave. They seemed to be suspicious, but they weren’t certain. They suddenly stretched out their slender tongues and slowly approached his face. It was as if they wanted to give his eye a lick.

Seeing this, Gu Zhen frowned. He could tell that Zhao Xiao Pang would likely not be able to withstand it. If he wasn’t able to contain himself, it would lead to a chain reaction and the other instance characters will certainly also scream out. He no longer hesitated and, with a slight movement with his hand, a thin piece of paper appeared between his fingers.

This small piece of paper had been cut into the shape of a person. The paper human was drawn simply into the appearance of a black-haired woman in a red dress that had her eyes closed.

He gently loosened his fingers and the eyes of the paper woman suddenly opened. The piece of paper then seemed to move on its own and it gently fluttered into the elevator.

A moment later, a young woman walked out of the elevator. Her skin was ghostly pale and, wearing a red dress, she looked elegant and charming. However, she was obviously didn’t look like a living human. She gently clapped her hands and attracted the ghost’s attention.

“Clap, clap……..”

The smile on the pretty woman’s face was very fake as she gently clapped out a strange rhythm. It was as if she was wearing a very human-like mask on her face. Every time she clapped, the ghosts would take a step closer towards her as if they were all obeying to her summons.

The woman slowly stepped back towards the elevator little by little and, gradually, all the ghosts also entered the elevator. Soon, it was almost empty outside. Only a couple of ghosts remained in place, but their attention was also uncontrollably attracted to her.

Zhao Xiao Pang and the others didn’t see that the woman had come from the paper figure from Gu Zhen’s end and had thought that this woman was probably the most powerful ghost among them. They watched on nervously and quietly prayed for her to hurry up and take them away. Once the ghosts are gone, they wanted to flee and swear on their life that they would never set foot into the school again.

But why isn’t the ghost next him leaving……

At this moment, Liang Wen Bin’s eyes moved and the glanced at the ghost next to him. His eyes were filled with fear.

Unlike the other ghosts, this ghost was the only ghost that was not affected by the beautiful female ghost. From the beginning to the end, it didn’t move. Even after the other ghosts had left, it continued to stay there. As long as this ghost was still there, they didn’t dare to run. For him especially, with the ghost right next to him, he didn’t dare to move.

I beg you. Hurry and leave. Go back to the elevator……..

Liang Wen Bin pleaded internally for the ghost to leave. He didn’t look closely earlier but after taking a closer look, he was surprised to see that the ghost was wearing the school’s uniform and appeared to be a student here. He couldn’t help but subconsciously look up at the ghost’s face.

The ghost took the appearance of a young teenager. He wore a summer school uniform and the thin shirt made him appear even more thin. His appearance was neat and tidy.

As if he had sensed Liang Wen Bin’s gaze, the young teenager tilted his head slightly and also looked over at him.

The young teenager had a handsome and elegant face, but his expression was cold, and it even carried a hint of gloom with it. When he noticed his gaze, the young teenager gently hooked up the corner of his lips and called out gently:

“Senior Liang, long time no see.”

Liang Wen Bin’s pupils constricted and, no longer able to control himself anymore, he let out a terrified cry——-

“Su Ling!”

Whoosh———–

All the ghosts suddenly turned their heads back. Their cold eyes instantly fell onto Liang Wen Bin.

Bai Yi’s Diary (Part 51)

This time I wasn’t able to find a chance to kiss Zhi Chu and was only able to hold his hand. A little regretful.
