Staring at the chair in the middle of the corridor, Chen Ge turned his body sideways and gripped the mallet tightly.
He waited for ten seconds, but the chair still did not move.
"Is it because I'm watching?" Chen Ge took a few steps forward, turned on the video function on his phone, and placed it on the chain outside the glass door.
After that, he retreated to the barren land outside the dormitory and waited patiently.
The campus was uncomfortably quiet at midnight; there was not even the chirping of birds or insects.
About three minutes later, Chen Ge approached the dormitory, and he was prepared for the worst. However, when he stood at the door, he saw that the chair was still where it was, one meter away from the ceiling light.
It's not moving? What's going on? Chen Ge stood beside the glass door and pulled down the phone. He watched the video and did not notice anything out of place, so the chair stayed in the middle of the corridor.
Could it be that it only moves when it sees me? Just as this thought appeared in his mind, Chen Ge had a bad feeling. He turned to look at the female dormitory corridor. The chair had moved another two meters forward, and it was very close to the glass door!
It's moved forward again? What's the meaning of this thing? It moved so close to me, is it trying to tell me something? It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid, but Chen Ge's tolerance for fear was much stronger than normal people, so he was able to maintain a clear mind in this kind of environment.
There's a big problem with this school. Before I get to the bottom of it, I'd better stay away from these things. Chen Ge actually wished to smash the glass with the hammer and pull the chair out to dismantle it, but considering the number of blind spots in the building, he was afraid that he might run into something else after he entered the building, and before he could pull the chair out, he would be dragged into it.
The key mission tonight is to find the red dancing shoes. As long as they don't disturb me, there's no need for me to fight them. Chen Ge retreated with the phone. After I'm done investigating the other places, if I can't find the dancing shoes, I'll return. Anyway, as long as I find it before dawn, the mission will be considered a success. There's still plenty of time. "
Chen Ge memorized the location of the girl's dormitory's entrance and retraced his steps. He switched off the light on his phone and crouched near the school's main entrance with the hammer in his hand.
"Looking at the time, the taxi behind me should have arrived by now, but why is the road outside still dark?" In the absolute darkness, the headlights were very eye-catching, but Chen Ge waited for a long time, and he did not see any light approaching from outside the school. "Could there have been an accident?"
This incident had been on his mind for a long time. In his opinion, there could not be such a coincidence in this world. The guy who followed him to Western Jiujiang Private School must be plotting something.
"The other party might have guessed that I would be lying in ambush by the roadside, so he got out of the car in advance and slowly walked over. If that's the case, then it'll be troublesome." He would rather have guessed wrongly. He would rather have a battle of wits and courage with the air than provoke a truly difficult opponent.
"Looks like I'll have to move faster. I have two advantages now. First, I can familiarize myself with the environment, and second, I have Zhang Ya with me. She won't let me be bullied on her turf, right?"
Chen Ge's eyes had gotten used to the darkness. Perhaps due to his Yin Yang Vision, his vision was not that blurry in the dark.
"Light will expose me, so whoever is in the light is the prey." Without turning on his phone, he grabbed the mallet and headed toward the other building.
The tallest building at Western Jiujiang Private School was the education block. It had five floors in total, and behind it was a grassy field. At the other end of the field was a lone building.
The walls were light red, and due to the field's isolation, the building looked quite different.
"The education block is where classes are held, so the dancing shoes shouldn't be there, and the male dormitory is even less likely. I should go take a look at the red building first."
Chen Ge stuck close to the track and circled around before he came to the building.
It had four floors in total. It was as tall as the female dormitory, but it was only two-thirds the size of the female dormitory.
Once he got close, Chen Ge noticed that the building was not normal. There was a wooden board placed in the middle of the front door, and on it was painted three words — No Entry!
"What is this building used for?" The more the school prohibited entry, the more curious Chen Ge became. "Something must have happened here several years ago. Perhaps the red dancing shoes that I'm looking for are inside this building."
Chen Ge avoided the wooden board and came to the front door. There were two locks added to the door.
"I can't open the front door, and I'll make too much noise if I use the mallet. It might attract the attention of the person following me." Chen Ge did not touch the wooden door but walked to the other side of the building. There was a window there that was seriously broken, and a large piece of the glass was shattered.
"I'll go in from here." Chen Ge reached his hand into the window and opened the lock. For safety's sake, he waited outside for a few minutes and jumped in after making sure there was no one around.
He closed the window and rearranged the place like before. Chen Ge did not dare relax, and he studied his surroundings carefully.
He was in an art room. The walls were plastered with students' works, and plaster models were placed on the shelves.
"This place looks quite scary, but it's nothing compared to my Haunted House." Chen Ge walked past the two rows of plaster models and reached the back door of the art room.
He looked out through the glass window on the door, and there was a sign in the corridor that said, "Art Student Activity Center."
"Looks like I'm in the right place." Chen Ge pushed the door open lightly. Probably because it had not been used for a long time, the wooden door creaked noisily as it moved, and it made one's skin crawl.
"Calm down. I need to find the shoes and leave." Since he had entered a relatively enclosed building, the light would not leak out too far, so he switched on his phone.
The weak light did not give him any sense of security. In this kind of environment, having a flashlight on was even scarier.
Chen Ge looked through the rooms on the first floor. They were all art rooms, and some of them had easels and students' works that had not been removed.
"The Art Student Activity Center has four floors in total. The dance studio that I'm looking for should be on one of the floors."
Chen Ge walked up the stairs with his phone and mallet. When he reached the second floor, his heart started to race, and goosebumps rose on his arms.
Following his gaze, there was another wooden chair placed in the middle of the second-floor corridor.
"Why is this thing here again?"
