The screams came from underground. Even though every floor of the Haunted House was soundproof, Big Ghost and Lao Zhou could hear them clearly.
"Small Ghost!" Big Ghost pressed the button madly, but the elevator stopped at the fourth floor.
It was not until the screams stopped that the elevator started to move upward.
"I also heard the screams from the two students. It doesn't sound like they're faking it." Lao Zhou's voice was laced with worry and fear. "Have we misunderstood them?"
"That's enough. The two probably purposely led us here." Big Ghost was feeling bad. Sister Ghost had disappeared, and something had happened to Small Ghost. He was the only one left from the trio. "When the elevator comes up, if the three of them aren't in the elevator, we'll go down together! The terrain here isn't that complicated. They won't be able to get far with Small Ghost! "
"I think it's better not to bother with the kid. Did you guys notice something just now?" Bai Buhui pointed at the monitor outside the elevator. "When the elevator went down, it stopped at every floor. The two students are very cunning. They're obviously tricking us into exploring every floor."
The elevator went up one floor after another. When Bai Buhui was trying to reason with them, the silver elevator door slowly opened, but the three visitors inside had disappeared.
"Don't go over. The elevator is sealed. It's a taboo when visiting a Haunted House." Bai Buhui reminded again, but Big Ghost stubbornly walked into the elevator.
"If you're willing to come with me, then come with me. If there's no one, I'll go down myself."
Hearing that, Bai Buhui shook his head and stood where he was.
Ol 'Zhou and Duan Yue, on the other hand, were moved. They knew very well that a four-star scenario would tear away the visitors' normal disguise and allow them to fully release the darkness and depression in their hearts. Therefore, regardless of Big Ghost's character, at least he really cared about Little Ghost.
"Sigh, we'll go with you. It'll be safer with more people." Lao Zhou hesitated for a long time before coming to a decision. He and Duan Yue also entered the elevator.
"Thank you." Big Ghost nodded at Lao Zhou and gave him a thankful look.
"The three of you are crazy." Bai Buhui pushed up his glasses, his expression cold. "I'll wait for you here. Good luck."
The elevator door slowly closed, and Big Ghost looked at the number on the screen with a serious expression.
"Don't worry, we're just visiting a Haunted House. Small Ghost and Sister Ghost will be fine." Lao Zhou was kind, and he wanted to console Big Ghost.
"You won't understand even if I explain it to you." Big Ghost turned back to look at Lao Zhou and Duan Yue, and his gaze was scary. He pointed at his ears. "I'll tell you a ghost story. If you don't believe me, just pretend it's a story."
"When I was nine, I was in a car accident. When I was unconscious, there was a voice lingering in my ears. It sounded like it was apologizing."
"Initially, I didn't take it to heart, but after I was rescued, the perpetrator's family wanted my forgiveness."
"Their family is very poor. The driver died in the car accident, and the pillar of support in the family has collapsed. The mother and daughter's basic livelihood has become a problem."
"I forgave them. Later, when the police released the recording of the driver's phone call, I was shocked to realize that his voice was the same as the one I heard when I was unconscious!
"From then on, I can occasionally hear voices that other people can't. It's very blurry, but it's definitely there."
"It's because I have this power that I dare to bring Small Ghost and Sister Ghost to challenge places like the crematorium and the graveyard because I know those places are mostly safe."
The elevator soon reached the second floor. Big Ghost looked down the dark corridor, and his expression became more serious.
"What you're saying scares me. What does your story have to do with the Haunted House that we're visiting?" Lao Zhou was confused.
"Ever since I entered this scenario, there have been many voices in my ears. I don't know whether I've gone mad or there are many dirty things hiding here." Big Ghost looked down the dark corridor. He took a deep breath and took out his phone to look at the time. "I have a bad feeling."
"He was kind enough to save you. How can you say that he's a dirty thing?" Lao Zhou moved his body to look at Big Ghost's phone. "What time is it now?"
"It's 9: 44. Why are you suddenly asking that?" Big Ghost was still looking out the elevator.
"Whether you believe it or not, actually, something scary once happened to me."
"What is it?" Big Ghost turned back to look, and he realized that Lao Zhou's expression was unprecedentedly serious.
"One night, I was taking the elevator alone, and I saw a couple with their heads lowered." Lao Zhou's face paled. "I was very afraid. I stood alone at the elevator door, and when the door closed, the man suddenly asked me, 'What time is it now?'"
"How did you answer him?" Big Ghost turned to look at Lao Zhou. He suddenly felt like this conversation was quite familiar.
"I told him it was 9: 44." Lao Zhou's head slowly lowered.
"Then, what happened?"
The air in the elevator seemed to freeze. Lao Zhou's face slowly rose, and a ghastly scar appeared on his pale face!
"Then, this time became the time of my death!"
The silver elevator door slowly closed, and Duan Yue was at the door …
"Ding!"
When the elevator door opened again, Big Ghost had already fainted.
Lao Zhou dragged him out from the elevator and had Duan Yue send a message to Chen Ge, telling Chen Ge that Big Ghost could hear Ghost Language.
Moments later, Chen Ge called. "Ignore the people behind us. Send Big Ghost to the school's nurse's office as soon as possible. Elder Wei and the other doctors are there. Let them handle this."
"Time is tight. Can Doctor Wei cure him?"
"Doctor Wei has treated many patients who have forgotten their painful past. Do you still not trust him?"
"Okay."
…
Bai Buhui guarded the elevator door. Soon, he heard Lao Zhou and Duan Yue's screams. They were shrill and scary. He could not imagine what had happened to them.
"Looks like they've been tricked by the Haunted House's workers. This is really a man-eating elevator. I can't stay here anymore. I'm the only one left. They'll come back for me. " Bai Buhui was very calm. "Based on Mr. Bai's report from the supernatural phenomenon research society, heaven and the wishing well are in the same room, so there has to be a connection between the two. The wishing well is probably the real way out."
The map that he had seen at the entrance of the education block appeared in his mind. Bai Buhui took out his phone to call Liu Gang, but the call did not go through.
"What is this idiot doing?"
He sent a message to Liu Gang, telling him that the library was a trap, and the real exit was at the well.
After doing all that, Bai Buhui ignored everything else and ran as fast as he could toward the western side of the school. In his memory, the well was there.
