The driver's face paled, and he chuckled drily. "Good luck."
"I will. Can you turn off your phone now?" Chen Ge revealed a smile that he thought was kind. "This is just a misunderstanding."
"Of course." The driver agreed straightforwardly. He tapped on his phone a few times and continued to drive forward for two or three meters. The car's intercom suddenly lit up with a red light. He touched it gently with his finger. Before he could say anything, a rough voice came from the other side.
"Ol 'Liu, you're also at Western Jiujiang's Private Academy? I'm curious why someone would go there at night. I've picked up one as well, and we're quite close. By the way, what did you say in the group chat? Did I get caught by a stick? "
"It's fine, just focus on driving." The man wiped the sweat from his forehead and hung up.
"I've probably been kidnapped, right? Uncle, where's the basic trust between people? "Chen Ge raised his brows. He was afraid that the police might come." Just stop here. "
"Okay!" The driver stopped the car without another word. His legs were still shaking.
Chen Ge checked his belongings and got out of the car. When he closed the door, he looked up and saw a line of words scrolling on the top of the taxi — I've been kidnapped, please call the police!
"You sure have a lot of tricks up your sleeve."
After watching the taxi fly away, ten seconds later, the surrounding hundred meters fell into a dead silence.
There were no stars in the sky, and it looked like it was going to rain. The clouds were low, and there was no light at all.
Chen Ge switched on his phone to look at the time. There were still eight minutes until the agreed deadline.
When I was in the car, the person on the walkie-talkie said that he had also dragged someone to Western Jiujiang's Private Academy. Running in this direction at 1 am, could it be related to me? He kept an eye out. If not for the time limit, he would have hidden on both sides of the road to see who was following him.
There are still eight minutes left. I should get into the school first. After familiarizing myself with the terrain, I'll have the upper hand. The area around Western Jiujiang's Private Academy was a wasteland. There was no light, only a narrow road that cut through the forest and bushes.
Turning on his phone's flashlight, Chen Ge walked along the road for nearly a hundred meters before finally arriving at the main entrance of the abandoned school.
The chains and fences were rusted together, and the gate was shut tight. Looking through the iron bars, it was pitch black.
"How do I get in?"
Chen Ge paced back and forth outside the gate for a moment. He first tossed his backpack into the school, then he ran up and jumped over the fence.
The campus wasn't big, and one could see the edge at a glance. In the darkness stood the shadows of a few pitch-black buildings, like a few lonely night watchmen.
The school's signboard had been removed. In fact, Chen Ge did not know what the school's real name was. He only knew that everyone called it West City Private Academy.
The bushes were so thick that he couldn't see the road clearly. From time to time, something would brush against his calf, making him feel itchy and painful.
"I arrived within the allotted time. My next mission is to enter and find Zhang Ya's red dancing shoes." Chen Ge took out the mallet from his backpack. Holding the cold handle, he felt much more at ease.
Using the flashlight on his phone, Chen Ge walked into the school. He only took a few steps when he felt that something was wrong. He stopped and took a few steps back.
"Is it my imagination? Why does it feel like there's a push on my shoulders when I walk into the school? When I retreated, my back was blocked by an indescribable force. " He turned to look at his shoulders, but there was nothing there. He used the flashlight to shine on his back, and there was nothing like a ghost.
"Could she be here already? Is she right beside me? But I can't see her? " Chen Ge shivered uncontrollably. He wanted to swing the hammer behind him, but on second thought, what if Zhang Ya was really behind him? If he swung the hammer at her, what if he angered her?
He was just a lonely, weak, and helpless Haunted House owner. The consequences of angering a ghost in the middle of nowhere were unimaginable.
"Never mind, I'll go in first." Chen Ge picked up his backpack, held the phone, and walked into the school.
The night grew darker, and the wind picked up. There was a drizzle that was as thin as a cow's hair.
"The dancing shoes are most likely to appear in the dance studio's female changing room and the bedroom that Zhang Ya used to live in. I'll have to focus on those two places."
Chen Ge walked toward the nearest building. The trees on the campus were crooked, and the ground was overgrown with weeds. There were many statues around it, and most of them were human statues. They looked quite creepy in the dark.
"The female dormitory?"
The four-story building was not that tall, but it looked eerie, probably because it had been abandoned for so long.
The glass door to the dormitory was locked with iron chains. He leaned against the door and peered in.
The corridor was dark, and the doors on both sides were tightly shut. The strangest thing was, there was a chair placed in the middle of the corridor with its back facing the bedroom door.
"A chair placed in the middle of the corridor? What's the meaning behind it? " Chen Ge took a small step back. "The school gate and the dormitory's glass door are all locked, and there is no trash in the corridor. It's clear that when the school was closed, everything was cleaned, but why would they leave a chair in the middle of the corridor? Are they trying to kill someone with OCD? "
"If the chair was left behind by the school, why would they do that? If it wasn't left behind by them, then after the door was locked, who moved the chair to the middle of the corridor? " Chen Ge aimed the phone at the dormitory's glass door. The chair was placed five meters away from the exit, and the top of its head was facing a broken corridor light.
"The corridor light is broken, and the wires are sticking out. The chair, the wires, why does this look like someone has been hanged?" Honestly, after seeing such a strange scene, Chen Ge's heart was pounding. "I'm probably overthinking this."
He looked around. The night wind rustled the leaves, and the campus became stranger after midnight.
"I can't just scare myself. The Red Specter Zhang Ya is the scariest presence at this school. I have her love letter, so who would dare trouble me?" At this point, Chen Ge could only console himself. "This is just a Bloody Impression Mission. To put it bluntly, this is a special date. There's no need to be nervous, and there's no need to be afraid."
He mumbled to himself to encourage himself. Then he grabbed the mallet and walked to the glass door. He was about to break the glass to see what was going on when his eyes caught a detail.
The chair that was supposed to be facing the corridor light was now one meter away from the light, and it appeared to have moved forward.
"What the f * ck?"
