Chapter 10 - Ghost Body

In fact, I really want to refuse. I was clearly frightened quite a bit, but Su Xiao's look was as if I didn't want to agree and just wouldn't leave. In the end, I couldn't stand this oppressive atmosphere so I said seriously, "Alright then. But I'll say this first. Just this once. Don't look for me again in the future."

"Okay, okay!" The excited look on Su Xiao's face made me feel uneasy.

Yan Nan was worried and wanted to follow along. I gratefully held her hand.

Half of our dorm room on the sixth floor is empty. Su Xiao took us to an empty dorm room in the innermost area. It was unknown where she got the key from.

I saw Bai Yating take something out of her backpack and fiddle with it, so I asked her, and she told me that this was the night vision camera she had brought from home. Su Xiaoxiao told her to take it.

I was taken aback. Was Su Xiao crazy? Let's not talk about whether we can get a ghost first, if we really can get one, we can't even get one, right?!

The uneasiness in my heart was growing. My instincts told me that something very dangerous was about to happen, but I didn't know how to stop it.

She turned off the light, took out three candles, and lit them. The dim candlelight danced about, reflecting Su Xiao's pale face. For some reason, there was an indescribable sense of strangeness to it.

"This really works?" Yan Nan asked doubtfully.

"Let's begin." Su Xiaoxiao ignored Yan Nan's words and sat down.

Yan Nan and I looked at each other before we sat down. In front of each of them was a stack of white paper and a marker, making it easy for ghosts to answer questions.

I used to check the way to invite ghosts online out of curiosity. But now, no matter how I looked at it, the method Su Xiaoxiao used didn't seem to have any effect. But since things have already come to this, it's not good for me to continue gossiping.

Su Xiao muttered something to herself. After a moment, the light of the candle suddenly flickered, and the one close to me extinguished without a sound.

Su Xiao's movements froze, and she said in a low voice, like a mosquito: "They're coming."

I heard inviting ghosts required the presence of someone very unlucky recently. It couldn't be me, could it? The thought made me nervous.

I didn't dare to breathe too loudly as I heard the strange tone in Su Xiao's voice. "Excuse me, is Chen Ziyue dead?"

"I feel like someone is standing behind me," Su Xiao's voice fell, and I couldn't help but move my hand, writing a word on a piece of paper.

At that moment, when my heart stopped beating, I realized that the ghost was already on me. And I didn't even dare look down to see what it was.

Why is it always me!

Su Xiao asked a few irrelevant questions, such as whether the final exam was going to be difficult or not. In the end, her voice became difficult, as if it was difficult to say, "May I ask who's next?"

Strangely, once the question was finished, my hand did not move on its own. The four of them held their breath, not daring to breathe.

At this moment, Bai Yating, who was sitting beside me, suddenly made her move.

Waving the marker like an enchanted hand, she painstakingly drew on the paper, throwing it away as soon as she had written a few words. Soon, her surroundings were piled high with the papers she threw out. I gaped at her, and out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of Su Xiao sitting across from me.

She also stared in horror at Bai Yating, who had lost control of herself. What nearly suffocated me was another scene: a hand had suddenly appeared behind Su Xiao's back, pale and skinny. There was a hideous wound on her wrist, and blood was flowing out from it. That hand was already on Su Xiao's shoulder, but she didn't notice at all.

I wanted to scream, but no sound came out. At the same time, my head suddenly hurt as if I had been pierced by countless needles.

At this moment, Yan Nan suddenly moved. Silently, she rose to her feet, raised a chair with both hands, and hurled it at Su Xiao's head!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

In the nick of time, Su Xiao finally reacted, rolling and crawling to avoid this attack.

I looked incredulously at the sudden change in the situation, but did not notice that the second candle had already been extinguished without a sound.

"Help, help!" Su Xiao let out a heart-wrenching scream, while Yan Nan chased after her like a madman. Bai Yating remained unmoved and continued to desperately scribble on the paper.

"Yan Nan, Yan Nan, calm down!" Anxiously, I tried to get up to stop Yannan, but she was wearing a red dress and her face was lost in the darkness beyond the reach of the candlelight.

Red skirt and red skirt?!

In an instant, my head felt like it was about to explode. Countless scenes flashed past my mind rapidly. In the counselor's office, a distorted female corpse …

Did I forget something?!

"No!"

Su Xiao's incomparably mournful scream brought me back to reality. Yan Nan had already trapped her in a corner, lifted up a chair high in the air, and violently smashed down!

Su Xiao clutched her head as she cried out in pain, but her voice soon died down. Yan Nan however, continued to mechanically repeat the smashing motions.

My heart is burning with anxiety. Just when I saw that Su Xiao was about to be killed on the spot, Bai Yating suddenly sobered up. She was shocked by the scene in front of her and suddenly thought of something.

The moment the last bit of light disappeared, the entire room fell into a deathly silence. After a few seconds, I felt my body loosen and I found I could move.

Bai Yating breathed heavily and suddenly stood up. She rushed to the door and turned on the light switch.

The moment the light returned, the two of us lost the ability to think.

The scene before him was extremely tragic: Yan Nan had fallen to the ground, unconscious. As for Su Xiao, she was curled up in a corner, covered in blood. It was hard to tell if she was still breathing. What was even more frightening was that the floor, walls and all the places where one could write were all covered in blood-red characters:

— Save me.
