Chapter 79: It’s all ghosts (4000 words)
Qin Liu looked at the girl’s wet lower body, then at Liu Haoyu.
Then he motioned.
“Are you sure you don’t want to leave first?”
“……?”
It was obvious that Liu Haoyu, this straight man of steel, did not understand Qin Liu’s meaning.
This straight man of steel just looked around and said.
“It seems the ghosts have hidden themselves. You are safe, my little brother… Oh, no, little girl.”
Qin Liu didn’t know if Liu Haoyu’s “little brother” was intentional or not.
But one thing was for sure, this girl was extremely angry right now.
“I’m not small! I can still grow! I’m only 17 years old!”
“Seventeen and you’re in a place like this?” Liu Haoyu said unceremoniously, “This is not how you court death.”
Hearing Liu Haoyu’s reprimand, Bai Anting, who had wanted to retort, had no courage.
Because she wasn’t stupid, she knew very well that her life was in Liu Haoyu’s hands.
So instead of arguing and making the other party angry, leading to a tragic end for herself, it was better to shut up now and wait for the right opportunity to run.
As for trusting Liu Haoyu…
With this attire and this place, Bai Anting didn’t believe him at all.
Seeing that the little girl had quieted down, Liu Haoyu asked.
“What’s your name?”
“Bai Anting.”
Well… Liu Haoyu almost heard this name as “security booth.”
But it was impolite to make fun of other people’s names, and as Liu Haoyu, a five-star good citizen, he naturally wouldn’t mention his fleeting thought.
“Are you rested?”
“Mmm…”
Bai Anting’s face flushed, and then she said.
“I want to… change clothes first.”
Liu Haoyu could only sigh after hearing this.
Girls are always a bit delicate; he could understand, so he said.
“I’ll keep watch outside.”
With that, the murderer, wearing a gas mask and holding a fire axe, walked out of the restroom.
Bai Anting finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.
But she didn’t realize that in this narrow restroom, there was actually another person… or rather, a ghost.
Although Liu Haoyu had left, Qin Liu did not leave for the girl’s safety, but chose to stay in the restroom.
This way, if the girl chose to escape through the skylight, she could notify Liu Haoyu in time.
However, it was obvious that Qin Liu was overthinking.
This girl named Bai Anting was very honest. She took off her wet skirt and panties.
With a blushing face, she began to wipe the water stains on her lower body bit by bit.
Qin Liu saw this scene clearly.
But if you ask Qin Liu what he thought…
I’m sorry, this little ghost didn’t have many thoughts.
Because she saw it every day.
She could even touch it.
Perhaps because the environment here was too gloomy, Bai Anting did not spend too much time here.
After washing and cleaning herself, she rummaged through her backpack for a long time, her face showing a bit of embarrassment.
She didn’t bring extra clothes. The entire backpack only contained a used pair of panties.
Just as she was hesitating whether to go out wearing only panties, Liu Haoyu outside became impatient.
“Aren’t you done yet?”
“Almost done!”
Seeing this, Bai Anting gritted her teeth, put on the panties, and placed her hand on the door handle.
It’s just a wasted life, what is there to be afraid of?
When she walked out of the restroom, she found that the murderer was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.
Seeing Bai Anting come out, the murderer glanced at her, let out a helpless sigh, and then took out a pair of white stockings from his backpack and threw them into Bai Anting’s hand.
“Here you go.”
Looking at the white stockings in her hand, Bai Anting’s mind went blank.
Why… did the murderer have this?
Even if it was to cover his head, shouldn’t it be black stockings?
However, Bai Anting didn’t think too much about it. She still put on the white stockings.
Although it still looked a bit revealing, compared to going out in just panties, it was already quite modest.
Moreover, these white stockings were quite thick, and they actually covered her quite tightly, like wearing tight pants.
“I think you’d look better in black stockings.”
Hearing the murderer’s serious comment, Bai Anting couldn’t sit still.
“Why do you say that?”
“Because white stockings will make your legs look fat.”
“You damn…”
At this moment, Bai Anting really wanted to swear, but looking at the fire axe in Liu Haoyu’s hand, she chose to chicken out.
They say a gentleman’s revenge is never too late; if she endures it now, perhaps she can escape later!
“Come with me.”
Because his plan was disrupted, Liu Haoyu was not in a very good mood at the moment.
Before continuing to explore Longshan High School, he had to find a way to send this courting death person out.
Otherwise, it would be inconvenient and hinder his subsequent actions.
Along the way, Bai Anting asked Liu Haoyu.
“Mr. Murderer, who were you talking to just now?”
“Who was I talking to? Of course, ghosts.”
Liu Haoyu’s simple sentence made Bai Anting tremble.
She originally just wanted to expose the so-called ghost rumors, to promote that they were all superstition, and maybe she could gain some traffic.
Who would have thought that there really were ghosts in this world!
To avoid interfering with the normal operation of the fire candle, Qin Liu would generally hide inside Hong Yu.
Liu Haoyu held the unlit fire candle and walked forward while observing his surroundings.
Although there were no abnormalities at the moment, he knew very well that in supernatural events, one’s nerves could relax, but observation was indispensable.
In plain language, one should maintain a tourist mindset to carefully observe the surrounding beautiful scenery.
Even though this haunted place had nothing to do with beautiful scenery.
Seeing that Liu Haoyu was not in the mood to talk to her, Bai Anting, who was already a chatterbox, could only turn her head and fiddle with her phone.
Although a long time had passed, the phone still had more than 20% battery left.
As for the livestream she had started, she had already turned it off while avoiding this murderer.
Now she chose to turn it on again and see if anyone would watch.
After the loading circle finished, the livestream opened again.
Soon, dozens of viewers flooded in again, most of whom had familiar IDs.
“What the heck! Did the streamer die?”
“She must have died, right? She was chased so miserably just now, she’s probably a ghost now.”
“Forever miss…”
“Where is the corpse? I’ll go test the waters.”
“(User 191981) has been banned by the moderator.”
Looking at the large number of viewers, Bai Anting, who was a little nervous, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She leaned in and whispered to the people in the livestream.
“I didn’t die, but I’m being held hostage by a murderer…”
“Who are you talking to?”
Behind Bai Anting, the murderer’s cold and heartless voice rang out again.
Hearing Liu Haoyu’s voice, Bai Anting quickly hid her phone behind her and hastily explained.
“This is… me talking to myself! Yes, talking to myself!”
How could Bai Anting reveal that she was livestreaming to the murderer in front of her?
If he found out, wouldn’t she be completely finished?
But Liu Haoyu frowned. His gaze fell on Bai Anting, and he carefully observed her reaction.
Under Liu Haoyu’s direct gaze, Bai Anting’s forehead was already covered in sweat. After half a minute, her mental pressure was becoming unbearable.
Liu Haoyu took one step forward, and Bai Anting took one step back.
Until this imposing murderer pushed Bai Anting against the wall.
Finally, Bai Anting could no longer hold on and said, giving up on herself.
“I’m a streamer, I was livestreaming just now, you know, livestreaming?”
After saying that, she showed him her phone screen.
Liu Haoyu also got to see the bullet comments on it.
“Wow! The streamer ran into something big!”
“It feels like a plot from a manga is about to unfold.”
“It’s my first time watching something like this on a livestream, it sounds quite exciting.”
The bullet comments above were no different from the usual bullet comments on websites.
But the problem was…
The fire candle in Liu Haoyu’s hand had already emitted a faint flame.
So there was only one possible answer.
Liu Haoyu threw the phone back into the girl’s hand.
“The viewers in here are all ghosts.”
“Huh?” But Bai Anting didn’t believe Liu Haoyu’s words at first: “Are you kidding me? How can they be ghosts? Do ghosts go online?”
While muttering, Bai Anting looked back at her phone and was about to explain something.
But she found that the bullet comments, which should have been normal, had now turned into a screen full of blood-red bullet comments.
And all the bullet comments on them said the same thing.
“We’ve been discovered, we’ve been discovered, we’ve been discovered…”
“We’ve been discovered!”
“Hahaha, we’ve been discovered!”
Looking at these blood-red fonts, Bai Anting’s body turned ice-cold, her limbs stiffened, and her pupils contracted.
The more she thought about it, the more terrified she became.
Yes…
There wasn’t even any signal here, how could she still be livestreaming?!
She trembled, wanting to say something, but at this moment, her phone automatically opened the album.
The place where her personal photos should have been stored was now filled with black and white photos.
These photos were of strangers.
They were wearing school uniforms, but their clothes, bodies, and hair showed signs of being burned by fire.
Each student wore a strange smile and stared at the girl in front of the phone.
No matter how Bai Anting flipped through them, her original photos had all disappeared, leaving only these hair-raising photos.
Flipping to the end, there was a note with blood-red writing and scorched edges. It said.
“Let’s come in together…”
A mere five words made Bai Anting throw her phone five meters away on the spot.
The girl panted heavily, and when she saw these five words, her hand felt like it was burning.
And after throwing the phone away, this burning sensation intensified.
She looked at her hand, and a blister had already formed where the phone had been.
“What’s going on?”
The fear from within made Bai Anting almost lose her sanity.
“What else could be wrong?” Liu Haoyu took out a bottle of water from his backpack and said, “Of course, you’ve encountered a ghost.”
Bai Anting stared blankly at the water Liu Haoyu handed her.
The scene just now had been too impactful for her, so seeing the murderer hand her water, she was a bit at a loss.
“Aren’t you going to rinse it?”
“Thanks…”
Bai Anting took the bottle of mineral water, took a sip to calm her still frightened state, and then used the rest of the water to rinse her burned hand.
The cold water on her hand greatly reduced the burning sensation.
After finishing everything, Bai Anting looked at Liu Haoyu.
Although the masked murderer in front of her was still very suspicious, she didn’t dare to stay too far from him.
Peeking through the unzipped part of Liu Haoyu’s backpack, Bai Anting found that some talismans that ordinary people couldn’t understand were placed inside the backpack.
So, the girl couldn’t help but wonder.
Could it be that this guy who looked like a murderer was a Daoist priest or something similar?
“Mr. Murderer, what are you doing here so late at night?”
“Me?” Liu Haoyu picked up the fire axe in his hand and asked, “What do you see in my hand?”
“Uh, a fire axe?”
“I’m a firefighter, come here to extinguish a fire. Makes sense, right?”
“……”
Bai Anting was speechless for a moment.
But Liu Haoyu didn’t have time to bother with her and walked straight towards the school gate.
It was already two in the morning, and he didn’t have time to entertain this girl who liked to court death.
Seeing that Liu Haoyu had no desire to chat, Bai Anting, the chatterbox, could only shut her mouth indignantly.
The two of them walked across the playground towards the school gate.
Qin Liu poked her head out from Hong Yu and asked.
“Are we going back?”
Like Bai Anting, this ghost also wanted to go home as soon as possible.
Whoever wants to come to this gloomy school can come.
But just as she thought this, Liu Haoyu stopped.
Bai Anting did the same.
The two people and one ghost looked at the school gate, where police sirens were blaring, and fell silent.
Outside the campus, a police car and four police officers who looked very formidable were parked.
Qin Liu glanced at Liu Haoyu.
Wearing a gas mask, holding a blood-stained fire axe, and radiating a murderous aura, he looked exactly like a murderer.
Then she looked at Bai Anting.
Her clothes were disheveled, her hair was messy, and she wasn’t even wearing a skirt, making her look like a victim.
What would the police officers outside the campus think when they saw this scene?
The answer was already obvious.
If this isn’t a kidnapper, then what is it?!
The police car’s searchlight shone on the two of them, and the police officers’ gazes focused on them.
Seeing this situation, Liu Haoyu took a deep breath and pushed Bai Anting.
“Security booth, go over there.”
“My name is Bai Anting!”
This girl was so angry she almost fainted.
But when she saw the police, she was incredibly excited and thrilled.
It was like seeing a savior.
She ran towards the police, but when she looked back, she found that the murderer who should have been standing behind her had already disappeared.
After settling Bai Anting, Xiong Ying said to the person behind him.
“Reporting to the team leader! The missing streamer has been found, but just now…”
“I’m not blind.”
Wang Wenqi recalled the suspicious appearance of the “murderer” just now and said.
“Guys, follow me into the school. There’s work to be done.”
