Chapter 0922 – Dormitory 413
Standing at the corner of the darkened hallway, Lan Dong held the dirty ball of paper, and the more he looked at it, the more uncomfortable his heart became.
”Lan Dong, what’s written on the note?” Liu Carry inquired from behind, and Blue Winter on the steps hung his head low and didn’t say a word.
”Brother Dong?” Ah Li was afraid that something had happened to Lan Dong and rushed over.
”Don’t panic, just a ghost story.” Lan Dong casually threw the paper ball by the child’s mannequin’s legs, he took his cell phone, squatted his body and aimed the bright light of the screen at the mannequin.
The child looked to be only five or six years old, wearing red and white clothes, his shoes were stained with some black and brown residue, and his cuffs and collar were tied with red strings, as if he was afraid that something would run out from underneath his clothes.
”A ghost doll?” Haru walked over as well, her tone changing as she stared at the child with a crooked head in the corner.
”What’s a ghost doll? Have you seen similar dolls elsewhere?” Liu carried some fear.
”Ghost doll is a schoolyard weird story, legend has it that after school, when you are walking around the campus alone, you will meet a kid playing with a ball in the hallway, he will ask you if you want to play together, if you don’t say yes, his head will fall off and keep chasing after you. If you said yes, the kid would disappear into thin air.” Haru’s voice was low.
”Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and say yes!” The cameraman slugger urged.
”If you say yes, something worse will happen, the kid will follow you home and when you fall asleep, he’ll pull your head off.” Langdon had heard this weird story too, “Say yes or no, it ends badly, it’s an unsolvable weird story.”
”Unsolvable? I rather think that this weird talk doesn’t make much sense.” Liu carried stood still, not moving a step.
”If I really encountered such a child in reality, I would definitely walk around it, but this is in a haunted house.” Lan Dong didn’t see anything unusual in the child, he directly reached out and grabbed the head of the mannequin: “Actually, I’ve always been curious as to why this child’s head is so strange.”
He made a strong effort to pull upwards, and as a result, he directly lifted the child mannequin up.
The doll’s head and body were one and the same, and could not be separated at all.
”It seems like it’s just a decoration, there’s no hidden mechanism.” Lan Dong grabbed the head of the mannequin and shook it back and forth, “It’s very sturdy, this head can’t be pulled off at all, the hints should be on the strips of paper around it.”
Blue Winter opened all the paper balls on the ground and looked at them, he realized that the handwriting on each one was different, what was a bit} human was that the last sentence on all of them was – I walked up to him at that time just like you did and picked up the paper balls that he threw down.
”It feels like a circular curse where all the people who picked up the paper balls end up in a bad place.” Ally clearly didn’t consider Blue Winter’s mood when he said that.
”I believe in psychological suggestion more than curses.” Blue Winter untied the red string on the mannequin’s sleeve and shook it a few times, and a set of keys fell out of the mannequin’s clothes.
”Did we find a hidden clue? What are these keys for?”
”I seem to understand a bit.” Lan Dong took the keys and corresponded to the paper ball he had just picked up, “Look, this note says that it was my turn to be on duty in class that day, and when I was about to take out the garbage, I saw a child squatting in the corner of the building; the second note says that when I went to borrow hot water to make noodles in the 413 Boys’ Dormitory, I saw a child squatting in the corner of the building; and most of all, look at the third piece of paper you see, it says When I went to Mr. Bai’s office to hold my homework, I saw a kid squatting in the hallway.”
”Mr. White? Isn’t that the person we’re looking for?” Liu Carry reacted.
”Right!” Lan Dong held up the keys, “According to the Ghost Doll Strange Tales, after agreeing to the Ghost Doll’s request, the Ghost Doll will always follow you, and it’s possible that these keys correspond to those scenes, that is to say! We might have gotten the key to Mr. White’s office now!”
”But isn’t what we’re looking for in where Mr. White lives?” Haru didn’t want to cause more trouble, she always thought that doll was weird.
”A lot of the clues we’ve gotten point to this Mr. White, he must be an important person in the Ghost School, and obtaining the key to his office is a crucial thing for us.” Randon frowned and put the set of keys away.
”It’s best if you don’t touch the ghost doll’s things.” Haru cautioned out of the goodness of her heart.
”That string of keys should be an ordinary prop, let’s not scare ourselves.” Liu carried a sigh of relief and returned to normal after knowing that the doll was not in danger.
”I suggest we’d better not go down there, I’ve read ghost doll weird stories, wherever ghost dolls appear, there are tons of dirty things hidden, the ghost dolls are just the beginning.” Xiaochun proposed to leave, but Liu Carry was now being forced by his own fans, he had just said himself to take a step back, all sorry for so many viewers in the live room.
”Girls are more delicate in their minds, but don’t worry, a few of us are here, as long as we don’t fall alone, we can guarantee you’ll be fine.” Liu Shoulder patted his chest, everyone in the live broadcasting room said Brother Shoulder is righteous, among them there are even some old fans of House of Horrors who specially created accounts to cheer for Liu Shoulder.
Maybe in Liu Cheng’s opinion, it was his sincerity and charisma that conquered the enemy’s fans, but in reality, he didn’t fully grasp the psychology of those fans.
At the time when those fans were being abused to the point of dying, there was a noble and detached from the lowly, who was willing to use his own life to tell others that you are not the worst.
Such a person, such behavior, what’s a little encouragement and support to him.
The five didn’t realize the seriousness of the missing male assistant, after all, when normal people come to visit a haunted house, very few of them would think deeper.
Walking around the corner, they came to the lowest level, the lights on the long corridor seemed to be all broken, it was pitch black around them, but strangely enough, a light red colored bright light could be seen vaguely at the other end of the corridor.
The pale light was pulsing, as if it was a ghost fire.
”Brother Dong, it doesn’t seem right.” Ah Li gently patted Lan Dong’s shoulder, “Wasn’t the ghost doll at the corner of the building’s neck crooked before?”
”En, what’s wrong?”
”Look again.” Ah Li took his cell phone and shone it behind him, the ghost doll’s head stood straight up on its shoulders, as if it was about to be pulled off.
”It’s probably because I just grabbed his head and pulled it upward as hard as I could.” As Lan Dong said this, he felt a trace of coolness in his own neck, as if a pair of hands were lifting his head upwards.
”Attention! There’s something coming down the hallway!” The cameraman suddenly shouted, and everyone looked to the end of the long corridor.
The faint red light in the distance slowly approached, and when it was a few meters away from them, it suddenly flashed into a nearby dormitory.
”Is it a haunted house actor?”
Lan Dong took his cell phone and shone it towards the door of the dormitory room, the number of that dormitory happened to be 413.
