The shadow stayed in the same dormitory as Lin Sisi, and he even knew the password to Lin Sisi's phone. The relationship between the two was definitely not normal.
"I want to know about Lin Sisi. This is related to whether we can leave the school safely or not." Chen Ge asked again, but the shadow did not answer. It was as if the name Lin Sisi was a taboo at the school, and talking about it would cause trouble.
Shaking his head lightly, the shadow pointed at Chen Ge and then at the top of his head and his feet. It was hard to tell what he was trying to say.
"You're trying to say that the content of our conversation will be overheard by other things?" Chen Ge tried to interpret the shadow's action.
The shadow shook his head again and used his hands to gesture the words — 'We killed Lin Sisi, so all of us are Lin Sisi.'
"All of us are Lin Sisi?" Chen Ge seemed to understand something. He was about to ask the next question when a faded stench drifted past his nose. "Something's coming!"
The shadow's reaction was faster than Chen Ge. He opened the door across from the art room and crawled in.
After entering the room, the shadow did not close the door. Chen Ge understood what he meant and followed him into the room.
"At least he knows to leave a door open for me. Looks like he's willing to cooperate with me."
Everything that Chen Ge said earlier was true, or at least that was how he saw it.
While the Ghosts needed a scapegoat, they had to be wary of other Ghosts, and if the scapegoat wanted to stay alive, they had to choose the most reliable one among the many Ghosts.
Whether he lived or died was a matter for the future. Now, the most important thing for Chen Ge to consider was how to survive this night. He would make use of everything that he could to find a way to survive.
"What are those things that are giving off this stench?" Chen Ge moved away from the door and stood behind the shadow.
By then, the shadow had returned to normal. He looked thin and weak, about a head shorter than Chen Ge. Chen Ge hid behind him, and there was a strange feeling that he could not describe.
"The change in the art room has probably alerted the workers in the lab. I saw a duty room on the second floor. The Red Specter inside it might come after us because of the destruction of the art room." Chen Ge analyzed the situation calmly, and the shadow agreed with what Chen Ge said. However, he was curious, how did Chen Ge know there was a Red Specter in the guardroom?
"It's no longer safe here. Let's leave the laboratory building and find another place to discuss our next step."
Chen Ge's purpose of entering the laboratory building had been achieved. He didn't want to stay a moment longer in this dangerous building.
Walking to the window, Chen Ge pulled back the curtain. He first looked outside. "It's a bit dangerous to climb down the outer wall."
Taking the elevator at this time would be courting death. The window was the only way out.
After confirming that Mr. Bai was not outside, Chen Ge jumped out of the window and carefully grabbed the edge of the windowsill.
The cold wind ruffled his hair, and Chen Ge's back was soaked with sweat. "I hope this is just a nightmare. If that's the case, as long as I jump down, I'll definitely wake up."
Aiming at the external air conditioner on the third floor, Chen Ge slowly adjusted his position. "If I don't jump accurately, everything will be over. It all depends on this one chance."
Chen Ge took a deep breath, but just as he was about to let go, the shadow appeared at the window.
He stood beside the window and looked at Chen Ge, who was hanging outside the building. At this moment, if he pried open Chen Ge's fingers, he could easily kill Chen Ge.
"Follow me! We'll leave together! "
There was only trust and concern in Chen Ge's voice. This made the shadow feel uncomfortable, but in the end, he did not make a move on Chen Ge.
"Quick!"
Hanging in midair was exhausting. After Chen Ge confirmed the location, he let go without hesitation.
"Bang!"
His feet landed firmly on the external air conditioner. Chen Ge leaned forward and stuck close to the wall.
"The sound is too loud. The monster and Mr. Bai inside the building will definitely hear me. I can't hesitate!"
He lifted his head to look at the window on the fourth floor. The shadow was still standing next to the window, and he appeared to have his own plan.
"Do you still wish to continue hiding? This school is a cage. No matter where you hide, you will always be a prisoner! Cooperating with me is your only chance! We'll escape together! "
After stopping for less than a second, Chen Ge jumped back to the external air conditioner on the second floor. When he lifted his head again, the shadow was still standing on the fourth floor.
Chen Ge had obtained enough information from the shadow. Actually, the shadow was not that useful anymore, but Chen Ge still hoped that the shadow would leave with him. He needed a helper, and he needed a native from the school to help him get into the trap.
To change his current situation, he needed enough power, and this shadow was Chen Ge's hope.
"I don't know the rules at the school, but I do know that after consuming enough baleful Specters, even a normal Specter can become a Red Specter."
Standing on top of the air conditioner on the second floor, Chen Ge stopped worrying and yelled directly, "If I'm captured by someone else and become their scapegoat, you might still be pinned to the wall in the future."
Since his own benefit was at stake, the shadow finally wavered.
He stood on the windowsill and collapsed. Chen Ge saw a shadow flash across the wall before falling into his own shadow.
"Are … you alright?"
There was no reaction from the shadow. Chen Ge's eyes were complicated, but he soon recovered.
He jumped down to the first floor and ran toward the bushes.
"Every building at the school has baleful Specters and monsters. It's very dangerous to enter one of them."
Chen Ge crawled inside the bushes and did not dare to move. Ten seconds later, Mr. Bai ran out from the other side of the lab building and stopped not far away from Chen Ge.
He lifted his head to look at the window that was completely open on the fourth floor. His expression was scary, and he kept mumbling the term 'bad boy'.
Mr. Bai seemed to be very afraid of this lab building. He did not dare enter it. He only wandered around the building before running away in a hurry.
Chen Ge, who was hiding inside the bushes, saw everything. He waited until he could no longer hear Mr. Bai's footsteps before he stood up.
His eyes swept the lab building, and Chen Ge shivered.
In the room that he had jumped out from earlier, there was a person in a red coat standing at the window, staring at him!
"The Red Specter from the duty room has been following me, but he does not appear to be able to leave the lab building."
Chen Ge's heart chilled from the Red Specter's gaze. He silently retreated.
"Where should I go next?" Chen Ge needed to find a safe place to check on Lin Sisi's phone, organize the known clues, and confirm the next step of his plan.
Someone tapped his shoulder, and the thin shadow appeared behind Chen Ge. He pointed at the eastern side of the school and gestured the word — wall.
