Chapter 1527 – Assists from [Night Curtain]
”What’s wrong?”
Cao Yuan followed from behind and took the initiative to ask when he saw that Lu Menglei looked strange.
”This is the Five Teachings Building …… Haven’t you heard of the legends here?”
”Legend?”
Lu Menglei told the story of the Five Teachings 609, and the more she said the whiter her own face became, and she looked around, only to feel a cold chill all over her body.
Sometimes the person telling the ghost story would be more immersed in it than the one listening to it. Even, she already felt a bit chilly around her.
Cao Yuan suspiciously swept a glance up this building, “It’s just a horror story, there’s no need to take it seriously, I’ll accompany you on a walk.”
”Do you really want to go ……” Lu Menglei hesitated a little, “But this rumor is very true ah …… Shangjing University basically knows that this teaching building at night is taboo.”
”Taboo? I’d like to see what taboo it is.”
Cao Yuan lightly laughed and took big steps towards the dimly lit main door of the teaching building, his back under the streetlight resembling a giant like a majestic warrior.
Seeing this, Lu Menglei still clenched her teeth and followed closely behind Cao Yuan.
Although this teaching building only has six floors, it occupies a large area, Cao Yuan walks into the empty first floor hall, looking up, one layer of corridors stacked upwards, in the pitch darkness, it’s like a cascading abyss hanging upside down in the air.
”Where are the lights on?” Cao Yuan asked.
”I remember …… it seems to be in that corner.”
Lu Menglei followed closely behind Cao Yuan, looking at the dark and dead interior of the school building in front of her, the images she had just fantasized about in her mind surged up again, and her palms began to sweat nervously as she pointed in a certain direction and lowered her voice, as if she was afraid of waking up something in the darkness.
Cao Yuan followed the direction she pointed and walked to a certain wall in the hall, his fingertips fumbled for a while and finally found the location of the button.
Splat–!
The button was pressed, but the lights did not come on, and the entire school building remained dark.
”Hmm?” Cao Yuan raised his eyebrows in surprise, “The lights are broken?”
”It shouldn’t be ah …… When I passed by tonight after seven o’clock, the lights here were all on.” In the darkness, Lu Menglei’s face whitened a few more points, “Why don’t …… we just go out.”
”Don’t worry, nothing will happen with me.” Cao Yuan calmly opened his mouth, although his voice was not loud, it had an inexplicable power that eased Lu Menglei’s thumping heart a bit.
Cao Yuan reached out and pulled out his cell phone from his pocket and turned on the torch, the white light illuminated a corner in front of the two of them.
”You turn on your cell phone torch as well.”
”I …… have my cell phone in my bag, it was taken by the cat.”
Cao Yuan sighed, “It’s enough to use this one …… Did you see how many floors that cat went to?”
”Sixth floor.” Lu Menglei paused, “It’s the …… legendary floor.”
”Is there a direct elevator?”
”There is.”
Under Lu Menglei’s guidance, Cao Yuan found the location of the direct elevator, but just like the lights, this elevator seemed to be disconnected and did not respond.
”It should be that the power is out in this area …… Remember to follow me closely, wherever I go, you go.”
Cao Yuan took the flashlight and said solemnly.
Terror legend, inexplicable power outage, endless darkness …… These things are constantly eating away Lu Menglei s courage, although her character is strong, but after all, she is a girl, there is an innate sense of fear of this kind of thing, see Cao Yuan step away, subconsciously reach out his hand and hold his arm.
Noticing a warm and soft touch coming from his hand, Cao Yuan’s body faintly and unnoticeably trembled, and then feigned nothing and continued to walk forward, and in the darkness, the corners of his mouth gradually rose ……
”He’s snickering.”
In a certain patch of darkness in the hall, the figures of Lin Qiye’s trio were slowly outlined as he glanced in the direction the two had left and spoke quietly.
”Sure enough, the unknown and fear are catalysts for promoting feelings.” An Qingyu smiled and spoke, “Seven Nights, you’ve known about the legend of this school building for a long time?”
”When I came here on the first day, I heard it from a friend, and I didn’t expect to use it now.”
”Do you think that Cao Yuan knows that we are the ones helping him?”
”Should more or less realize a little bit, just now Jiang’er’s action of possessing a black cat to grab a bag is just too coincidental ……”
”I’ve cut off all the electricity, what should we do next?” Jiang Er’s ghostly figure came out from the wall, his voice rang out from his Bluetooth headset.
”Where did you put your bag?”
”The drawer of the second desk on the right in the last row of classroom 609.”
”Very good.” Lin Qiye looked like he remembered something, “By the way, when you went to that classroom, did you find anything strange?”
Jiang Er thought carefully, “No, it’s just an ordinary classroom.”
Lin Qiye nodded.
”Actually, the most effective method right now is to have Jiang’er go and scare Lu Menglei for a bit …… but I’m afraid that if I come so directly, Cao Yuan will not be able to react and there’s a chance that Lu Menglei will faint on the spot.” Lin Qiye said while thinking.
”There’s really no need to make it so big.” An Qingyu nodded.
With Jiang’er’s current appearance, she was unmistakably a white-skirted female ghost, and if she really appeared in front of Rumon Lei, then I’m afraid that the current slightly ambiguous atmosphere of micro-terrorism would really turn into a midnight murder bell.
”Unfortunately, it would be good if that classroom 609 was really a bit spiritual.” Jiang Er sighed, “Just go and get the bag and go back, it always feels not strong enough ……”
”Lu Menglei is just an ordinary human girl, the current situation is almost at its limit for her.” Lin Qiye glanced at the two figures that were going up the stairs and slowly spoke, “We’ve done what we can, next, it’s up to Cao Yuan.”
In the pale cell phone light, one section of dimly lit steps after another passed under the feet of the two, and the dull sound of their footsteps echoed within the dead silent school building.
Lu Menglei tightly held onto Cao Yuan’s arm, her gaze not daring to look around much at all for fear of something unimaginable suddenly jumping out.
”How many floors have we …… reached?”
”Third floor.” Cao Yuan used his flashlight to shine down the signage of the hallway and answered.
”But …… but how do I feel that we’ve already walked at least five or six flights of steps?” Lu Menglei’s face grew paler and paler, “Cao Yuan senior brother …… us, it can’t be that we’ve encountered a ghost hitting the wall, right?!”
When she said the last three words “ghosts hitting the wall”, Lu Menglei’s voice trembled a little, and she hugged Cao Yuan’s body a little tighter, because she really remembered that she had walked down many, many steps.
Cao Yuan paused for a moment and spoke again:
”Oh, sorry, I saw 5 as 3. We’re on the fifth floor.”
”???”
Lu Menglei gritted her teeth in anger, she pinched a piece of flesh on Cao Yuan’s arm with her hand and twisted it one hundred and eighty degrees, speaking in exasperation, “What time is it, you’re still joking with me!”
Cao Yuan seemed as if he couldn’t feel the pain, and laughed lightly twice, the arc of his mouth rising a little more.
