Chapter 59
“This?”
Liu Haoyu’s words left Qiang Ge shrugging his shoulders, a look of confusion on his face.
The former simply shrugged.
“Anyway, I’ve given you both possibilities now. One is that you’re fine, maybe just need to get checked out at the hospital,”
“And the other is that you firmly believe you encountered a ghost and are scaring yourself in your mind.”
“The choice of what to do rests on your decision.”
At this moment, Qiang Ge, as if refusing to believe, looked forward again.
That was the path he’d come from. While he had been chased by ghosts all the way here, why did this man show no reaction as soon as he arrived?
Even the eerie red shadow had disappeared.
Could it be that he was just scaring himself?
It shouldn’t be…
“Oh, is that man up ahead your brother?”
Liu Haoyu pointed to the strong man hiding in the grass not far away.
Qiang Ge glanced over and nodded repeatedly.
“Yes… yes.”
“Alright, you carry him, I’ll get you out of here.”
Under Liu Haoyu’s instructions, Qiang Ge carried his good brother, and the two headed towards the surveillance room to rejoin Liu Siyi and Li Xiangfei.
Once all four were reunited and saw that everyone was safe, the hanging heart finally relaxed.
“Let’s not get separated now, I’ll lead you out.”
Liu Haoyu led the four of them back to the back door of the school.
With Qiang Ge’s help, even the injured Liu Siyi was able to climb over the wall and leave this place.
But before leaving, Qiang Ge couldn’t help but ask one more time.
“Are you sure there are no ghosts?”
“Don’t worry, if there were ghosts, according to the typical ghost movies, do you think you’d be able to leave this place so easily? Li”
“…Alright.”
Finally, Qiang Ge stood up and climbed over the wall, leaving the Second Primary School.
After everyone had climbed out, Liu Haoyu followed. He glanced at the time, then said to the four people over there.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to the roadside to catch a ride first.”
The group’s faces lit up with joy, finally able to escape this cursed place. Compared to ghosts, the man wearing a gas mask seemed relatively safer.
Moreover, this time, everyone held onto each other tightly, afraid of getting lost again.
“The phone has a signal!”
“Quick, call a car!”
Looking at the cheering trio, Liu Haoyu said.
“It seems we’ve left the signal jamming area.”
The three quickly walked across the small path through the fields and returned to the asphalt road.
The moment their feet touched the road again, Liu Siyi felt a sense of relief she had never experienced before.
Looking back, the path leading to the school was entirely covered by dense weeds, and the experiences of just a while ago felt like a nightmare.
“By the way, can I get paid for tonight’s work now?”
“Sure.”
Li Xiangfei didn’t expect Liu Haoyu to ask for payment at a time like this, but he wasn’t short of money, so he transferred 500 yuan to Liu Haoyu.
After confirming the transfer, the latter continued.
“You guys go ahead, I forgot something at the school, I’ll go back and get it later.”
“Ah…”
Liu Haoyu’s back prevented Li Xiangfei from having any chance to ask him to stay.
After he walked away, Qiang Ge said with lingering fear.
“That school is too spooky.”
“Brother Qiang, think about it, is there any possibility,” Li Xiangfei analyzed carefully, “that everything we encountered in the school was meticulously staged by that person?”
“Ah?”
Seeing Qiang Ge still confused, Li Xiangfei continued his analysis.
“His returning to get something is likely to retrieve the props and signal jammers he used to play the ghost.”
After listening to Li Xiangfei’s analysis, Qiang Ge’s mind was suddenly enlightened, and he clapped his thigh in realization.
“There’s actually a possibility!”
————————
On the other side, Liu Haoyu returned to the small path through the fields.
He sighed.
“It’s so troublesome to make up stories for this job.”
“But it seems they all believed your explanation.”
The girl’s voice appeared beside Liu Haoyu.
In fact, by the time Qiang Ge encountered Liu Haoyu, Qin Liu had already returned to the Hong Yu.
This was also why Qiang Ge, who was half-dead from fright, never saw Qin Liu afterward.
“People tend to seek advantage and avoid harm. After extreme fear, people will subconsciously lean towards thinking in a more positive direction, especially when they return to a safe area. Their minds will constantly tell them that those things were fake, and what I said was true.”
“But what if someone stubbornly refuses to believe?”
To Qin Liu, who was like a curious baby, Liu Haoyu took out a talisman from his pocket and said.
“If they don’t believe, the Hypnosis Talisman will solve such problems.”
Qin Liu looked at the Hypnosis Talisman in Liu Haoyu’s hand and her first thought was about the hypnosis play in some adult comics or games.
However, Liu Haoyu naturally saw through Qin Liu’s little thoughts.
“This thing can indeed be used like the hypnosis props in some books, and the effect is similar.”
“Hiss… why do I suddenly feel a little unsafe around you?”
Qin Liu shrank her body, keeping a respectful distance from the talisman in Liu Haoyu’s hand.
“Want to try?” Liu Haoyu asked, shaking the Hypnosis Talisman. “Deng Xiaolin tried it once, and she said this thing felt completely normal and quite safe.”
“I see… holy crap!”
Hearing Liu Haoyu’s answer, Qin Liu couldn’t help but complain.
“That’s not the point at all! And why would you use such a seemingly evil thing on Deng Xiaolin?!”
Qin Liu couldn’t understand, she really couldn’t understand.
But Liu Haoyu said calmly.
“No, she burned it for fun in my room, and nothing you imagined happened.”
“…”
Qin Liu, who was initially lost in thought, immediately fell silent.
A girl burning this thing in a boy’s room… wouldn’t that be like drinking a sleeping potion right in front of him?
And yet, nothing happened…
Suddenly, she felt that Deng Xiaolin had it quite tough.
As they chatted, the one person and one ghost returned to the Second Primary School.
Liu Haoyu skillfully climbed over the wall and entered the campus.
He walked along the corridor for a while, to the place where he had met Qiang Ge.
But this time, what lay before Liu Haoyu was not a pagoda tree at all.
It was a corpse, mutilated beyond recognition, almost torn to pieces.
And if Liu Siyi and Li Xiangfei were present, they would have immediately recognized this as the fierce ghost they encountered in the surveillance room.
Including this one, this was already the third evil ghost in the school to have completely lost its mind.
They were beyond saving and could only be transcended in this manner.
Liu Haoyu took out the Divine Fire Talisman, and flames ignited, the flickering flames reflecting in the man’s eyes.
The corpse on the ground slowly turned into ashes, and the soul bound to the world was finally freed.
The man silently lit himself a cigarette, filled with emotion.
“So, I really am a good person.”
“Why doesn’t anyone believe me?”
