Chapter 264: Someone Is More Horrible Than Ghosts (1/2)

What did he say? All of them were shocked at first, but soon burst out laughing. How funny he was! After that, Shen Qiang changed his seat with Jiangjiang. Jiangjiang also kept his word and gave the photo to Shen Qiang.

Everyone laughed again, then they chatted together outside. They only talked about gossip in this circle at the beginning. Later someone suddenly suggested that telling a ghost story was far more exciting at night. Shen Qiang was interested in that and agreed with that idea. So, they began to tell ghost stories, and everyone must have one.

Shen Qiang was the most active one, so he started to tell the first story. He deliberately lowered his voice to make it sound gloomy. ”I got this story from my classmate and he said that he heard it from his grandfather. During the time when his grandfather was working in the country, his grandfather passed through a pond one night back home. Suddenly, his grandfather heard a sound coming from the pond. It seemed like the soil on the riverbank was scattered and fell into the water. His grandfather was a courageous man, so he used the torch to light it. At first, his grandfather thought it was a small animal such as a dog or cat. But when it was lighted, his grandfather caught sight of a person who was crawling towards the pond and half of his head was already in the water. His grandfather thought it was someone who wanted to commit suicide so he rushed towards the man and tried to pull the man out of the water. When his hand was just about to reach out, the man suddenly looked back...”

It was about to reach the key point, however, Shen Qiang stopped and picked up his bottle to take a sip.

Everyone waited for a while, but he still didn't intend to continue. Liu Sijie was anxious on the side and gave him a push.

”You are always tantalizing people. Tell us now.”

Lv Wushuang was interested in his story, too. She looked at him nervously with wide-open eyes.

Shen Qiang was somewhat proud because all of them were so interested in his story. What did this show? It indicated that his story was good!

So, he smiled and continued: ”As I said before, his grandfather was very plucky. But when that man turned around, his grandfather let out a scream ”Ah!”, and then threw the torch in his hand and ran away quickly. The reason why he was so scared was that he didn't see that man's face but only two sparkling eyes when he turned back.”

Wu Shiyu cried out in a low voice and leaned closely against Li Yan, feeling cold shivers went down her back.

”Don't be afraid!”

Li Yan said softly and held her tighter.

She looked at Xia Yu and Lv Wushuang. Xia Yu was OK, with Jiangjiang in her arms calmly. But Lv Wushuang's face turned out to be a look of fear.

The adults were all afraid of it, but Jiangjiang insisted on asking about the reason. ”Where is that person's face?”

”He has no face!” Shen Qiang didn't know what to say. His story had already scared many people especially Wu Shiyu, who was shaking now, but this little boy still asked for that man's face.

”That's impossible. How can people have no face?” Jiangjiang asked again.

”Because he is not human.” Lv Wushuang felt that her tongue was shaking.

”His face was muddy so we couldn't see. Then the eyes would look very bright.” Xia Yu explained it to Jiangjiang on the side.

”Sister, this story was not mysterious at all after you said that. It’s not horrible at all, is it?” Shen Qiang protested aside.

”Right, Xia Yu, you can't make trouble with the story.” Lv Wushuang also agreed beside him and she didn't tremble like a moment ago.

”I am doing that for you. Who was scared and shivering with fear just now?” Xia Yu shook her head. Was the girl a masochist?

”It's pretty scary but also nice. That's not enough. One more please, Third Young Master.” Lv Wushuang was indeed addicted to it.

”Why not let my sister tell one?” Shen Qiang answered.

Liu Sijie was the first one to agree and then everyone else followed him.

Xia Yu thought for a while and said. ”I am going to tell a true story that I encountered personally. When I was still in school, I had a party with my fellowship one night. Drinking a few more cups, I went to the restroom alone. However, one of my classmates told me that the restaurant was not clean. He suggested his going with me, but I refused. Although it was already midnight, the restaurant was still very busy. I didn't believe the evil stuff dared to come out. So, I staggered to the restroom alone. I had diarrhea that day, so I stayed there for a bit long. After a while, I heard the sound of flushing next to me and thought that someone was going to leave, so I didn't mind. But after a few seconds, that sound of flushing appeared again, but without any footsteps. I wondered and then heard someone hum songs. I thought she must be in need of tissue because there was only the sound of flushing. So, I asked if she wanted any tissue. That hum stopped suddenly, but I did not get her response before the sound appeared again. So, I gave up asking. When I finished and was ready to go, I pushed the door next to me curiously. I didn't expect to open it successfully, but there was nothing inside.”

”Why is there the sound of flushing without any people? Was the toilet broken?” Lv Wushuang asked.

”No.” Xia Yu said with certainty.

”And what about the reason for that hum? I know. It must be someone who forgot her mobile phone in the toilet after leaving. It began to ring when someone called. Right?” Wu Shiyu said on the side.

”No. I checked it carefully before I came in. It was clean and had nothing in it.” Xia Yu said with certainty.

”That's strange. It had nothing inside. Why?” Lv Wushuang frowned and thought hard for it.

At this time, Jiangjiang had a few yawns. Xia Yu knew that he was sleepy, so she took him to her room. Jiangjiang was going to sleep with Xia Yu tonight.

”Keep thinking. I will go with Jiangjiang.”

At this time Shen Qiang said. ”Let brother Cijie tell one. He must have met many ghosts when he walked through the night.”

Liu Sijie laughed. ”I do often walk through the night. But the ghosts I encountered are all people who have wicked ideas.”

Whether ghosts really existed in the world, Liu Sijie did not see it with his own eyes. He was not serious about this problem, either. But he thought that people were much more terrible than ghosts. Ghosts could live in peace with people as long as you did not provoke him, but people were different.

Without caring about whether you knew them or not, or hindered them or not, they had already dug a hole and waited for you there when you didn't know. All this was just in order to achieve their own purpose.
