Chapter 16: The Unanswered Call
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Yang Jian put down the phone in his hand and looked at the green forest behind him with great fear and dread.
This old man was indeed terrifying.
No matter how many times they came into contact, even from afar, it gave people goosebumps and fear.
“Fang Jing should be dead already?”
Yang Jian’s gaze moved slightly. “The most important thing now is to leave the ghost realm and stay away from this old man. If he catches us again, we’ll die. Whether it’s Zhang Wei, Wang Shanshan, or me, the outcome will be the same.”
So what if he became a ghost rider? Wasn’t Zhou Zheng killed by the awakening of a malicious ghost because he used too much of their power?
And the reason why Zhou Zheng died was definitely because this old ghost was more terrifying than the ghost baby.
The ghost baby was not strong enough to suppress this old man, so it naturally dragged him down.
Very soon.
When Zhang Wei saw Yang Jian return, he let out a slight sigh of relief. “Yang Jian, where did you run off to? Did you find Fang Jing? The school is full of ghosts. Only you have the guts to run around. I don’t even dare to move a step.”
“Although I managed to get through to Fang Jing, as expected, he must have bumped into a ghost.”
Yang Jian said, “And I saw the old man who knocked on the door of the classroom. We can no longer approach that area. The most important thing now is to leave this place. If we continue to stay here, I don’t know how many more people will die here.”
He finished his last sentence.
The others were silent, fear and angst lingering on their faces.
That’s right.
It had only been a few hours and they had been on the run, but only so few people made it alive.
The others had all disappeared.
And everyone knew what it meant to be missing in a haunted place.
This was not a dream, nor was it a movie. It was a real haunted event….. It could kill people.
“Yang Jian, thank you for bringing us out. Without you, we would have met with misfortune.”
“Yes, thank you. I’m also sorry about what happened earlier. We didn’t stop Fang Jing when he pushed you into the toilet. Later, we found out that Fang Jing was a devil. He left Zhao Qiang and Wang Gang along the way. Even the female students were left behind by him…”
“That guy is no better than an animal.”
A few students behind him started talking. They cursed Fang Jing and expressed their apologies to Yang Jian.
The four of them were brought out by Yang Jian from the green forest. They were also classmates with Fang Jing.
He felt that Fang Jing deserved to die, but the others didn’t. Since he saw them, he just brought them out in passing. After all, they were classmates, so there was no need to be so heartless.
“It’s too early to say thanks. As you all can see, we are still in this school, still within the boundaries of the ghost realm. Whether we can get out alive is still a question.” Yang Jian shook his head and said.
“Although all of you are very tired now, it’s still not the time to rest. Although I haven’t settled much about the situation in the ghost realm, I still want to give it a try. Follow me and see if we can get out of the school.”
At this moment, he had become the backbone of these people. After he finished, a few people who were sitting on the ground to rest immediately stood up.
“One, two, three, four… There are only 13 people left now. God knows whether anyone would die later. If I had known earlier, I would have applied for leave today. What do we still need to go to school? Other people spend money to go to school, but we are risking our lives to attend school.” Zhang Wei said in a somewhat irritable mood.
The others glanced at him. They all lowered their heads and did not speak. They appeared to be very depressed and in a bad state.
If they could not see any hope of surviving, Yang Jian believed that they would be facing a mental breakdown soon. This was because he saw that there were already girls whose faces had turned pale. They had begun to chatter and talk among themselves.
“Let’s go.”
Yang Jian could not care less about whether they would have a mental breakdown or not.
The question now was whether they would be able to leave this place alive.
With him leading the way, the group wasn’t worried about getting lost. Moreover, they did seem to be constantly moving away from the ghost realm as they walked.
The surrounding darkness wasn’t dense. Although the sky was still dark, they could see the road and the surrounding buildings.
Soon.
The group arrived at the school gate.
The security booth was empty.
The road was quiet, terrifyingly quiet.
The street lights were not on, and no cars were coming and going.
The surroundings were very strange, except for their voices, nothing else could be heard.
Yang Jian glanced at the closed door of the security booth, and his eyes revealed an extremely vigilant look. He did not dare to go near any of the doors. Who knew if there would be any terrifying things coming out after opening the door.
Moreover…
Looking at the dead silence outside, he knew clearly that it was useless even if he walked out of the school.
As long as he was still in the ghost realm, it was the same everywhere.
“What’s going on outside? Why isn’t there anyone outside? Usually, there should be many parents at the door to pick up students at this time,” Miao Xiaoshan questioned with a hint of panic in her voice.
Indeed.
