46 The True Identity
Hearing the footsteps coming towards the toilet.
Yang Jian covered Jiang Yan’s mouth, turned off the flashlight, and gently hushed her, signaling her to make no noise.
Jiang Yan was much smarter than the students at school, reacting immediately. Fearing that Yang Jian’s cover was not tight enough, she covered her mouth again. Not only did she not make a sound, but she even held her breath.
When the flashlight was turned off, the entire toilet was plunged into darkness, and the surrounding silence was somewhat terrifying.
But within the darkness, the footsteps of the person approaching became extraordinarily clear.
Without a doubt, someone casually walked into the toilet.
That person did not turn on a flashlight or use a mobile phone for light, nor did they speak, just like an ordinary person using the toilet, naturally.
Yang Jian could feel the presence of that person outside.
Jiang Yan felt it too, her eyes wide open with a look of fear.
“Did the footsteps stop?”
Afterward, Yang Jian’s expression shifted slightly as he heard the footsteps outside disappear, seemingly as if the person who came in had stopped.
Judging by the distance of the footsteps, he could roughly guess that the person was standing next to the first toilet stall.
“What is he trying to do? He’s not really going to use the toilet, is he? Should we go out and check…” Yang Jian weighed his options.
But on further thought, he decided against it.
Because once he encountered the ghost, he would be forced to use the power of the malevolent spirit for self-defense, thus wasting an opportunity for nothing.
Not worth it.
But at that moment.
“Bang!”
A loud noise suddenly echoed throughout the toilet.
It was as if the sound of a door panel breaking erupted.
The door of the first toilet stall seemed to have been violently kicked open by someone.
“Wuu wuu~!”
Jiang Yan trembled in fear, and if not for her desperately covering her mouth, she would have screamed in terror.
As the sound subsided, that person began moving again, with footsteps echoing once more in the toilet.
After a few steps, the person seemed to stop in front of the door to the second toilet stall.
“Bang~!”
Another sound of a door panel breaking thundered, the second toilet stall was violently smashed open by that thing outside, and one could faintly hear the sound of a water tank shattering and water pipes spraying.
The noise settled into silence once again.
But then the footsteps continued.
The person outside reached the front of the third stall…
“Wu, wu wu.”
Jiang Yan was shaking all over with fear, her eyes tightly closed, enveloped in terror.
She could feel that whatever was outside was definitely not human, it was unquestionably that ghost.
There were only five toilet stalls, and it wouldn’t be long before she was found by the ghost.
By then, she was certain to die.
“Could that thing be targeting me only?”
Yang Jian also felt that the person outside was gradually approaching, methodically opening each stall in search of someone possibly hiding.
“Bang~!”
Yet another loud sound as the door to the fourth stall was opened.
“No choice, since that thing is after me and no one else, I’ll have to fight it.”
Yang Jian took a deep breath, no longer covering Jiang Yan’s mouth, and he turned to watch the door to their stall.
As soon as the door was opened and he saw the ghost, he would not hesitate to use Ghost Domain.
Jiang Yan felt Yang Jian stand up, and with courage from who knows where, she quickly stood up too, hugging Yang Jian from behind, unwilling to let go.
“You, you… take me with you when you escape, I don’t want to die, please, I’ll agree to anything you ask, just to get out of here, I can be your girlfriend, sleep with you…”
With a voice filled with sobs and pleading, she feared Yang Jian would run away and leave her alone.
“Quiet.”
Yang Jian whispered forcefully.
“Mhm~!”
Jiang Yan obediently bit her lip, making no sound at all, but her body couldn’t stop shaking from fear.
