C28

The call was from Ma Ying-zhong, asking me to go straight to his office.

When he arrived at the office, Ma Renzhong was still working in the office with a calm expression. It was impossible to tell that he had lost someone.

However, the many cigarette butts in the ashtray beside him made it clear that his mind was far from being as calm as it appeared.

Seeing me enter, Ma Ren Zhong gestured for me to sit down before massaging his temples and told me, "Ma Qiushi is my daughter."

I nodded without being too surprised. From his surname and the fact that Ma Ren Zhong had arranged a dorm room for me, as well as Ma Qiushi's reaction when she heard the three words' Ma Ren Zhong ', it wasn't hard to see the relationship between him and Ma Qiushi.

Although I don't know why Mazen arranged for me to stay by his daughter's side, I didn't pay much attention to this. Right now, the most important thing is to find the missing Ma Qiushi.

For the past two days, Ma Renzhong had been in a terrible state of anxiety. First, a large number of students were unconscious. It was not easy for him to settle this matter. It did not have too much of an impact on the society.

Who knew that their daughter had gone missing again? They had sent people to search for her, but they couldn't find any clues. Even the police didn't have any good news.

It was as if Ma Qiushi had suddenly vanished from the face of the earth.

Ma Renzhong was also desperately seeking medical treatment. Perhaps he thought that I was the disciple of the old Daoist Priest and might have some ability, so he asked for it from me.

I didn't promise, I just said I'd do my best. Even so, Ma Ren still expressed his thanks.

Sigh!

What a pity!

When Ye Zichen returned to the dorm, it was already very late. When he pushed open the door, it was truly empty.

According to Ma Renjian, Ma Qiushi disappeared after taking part in the party. As for the party, I thought about Liu Ren and the students lying in the hospital. He hastily ran downstairs and brought Liu Ren Thi, who was currently bathing in his room, back to his room.

"Old... Boss, you were looking for me? " Liu Ren looked at me with fear, not understanding why I suddenly wanted to talk to him.

Ignoring the messy way he called me, I bluntly asked, "Tell me, what did you guys do after?" Why are all of us unconscious? When did Ma Qiushi disappear? "

Liu Ren touched his wet hair and timidly started to narrate what had happened that day.

After the reunion that day, the young ladies and young men who were obviously drunk were looking for excitement, and it was unknown who suggested they explore the abandoned secondary school. After that, according to what Liu Ren said, they met with unclean things in the abandoned school district, and they scattered in fright.

After hearing Liu Ren's story, I looked at him sideways for a long time. When I saw that Liu Ren was anxious, I couldn't help but sigh, "Old Yuan just made you eat too much!"

Liu Ren wanted to say something but hesitated before lowering his head in shame. It was obvious that after seeing my way of handling the matter, he understood the unknown side of the world and how retarded he was the other day.

"Have you talked to the principal and the police?" I casually asked as I prepared my backpack.

"Yes!" Liu Ren lowered his head and spoke as if he was an angry wife.

"And then?"

"They suggested that I take a break from school to cure my illness before coming back!" The more he said, the lower Liu Ren's head got. In the end, like a quail, he shrunk his head back into his neck.

I tidied up my backpack and silently looked at Liu Ren. After a long time, I sighed and said, "Come with me."

"Go..." "Where to?"

"Teacher's University Affiliated High School!"

"Plop!" Liu Ren's legs went soft as he fell to the ground.

After leaving the school, Liu Ren kept a bitter face. It was clear that he was unwilling to go to that damned place, but after being exposed to my 'Yutang', he had no choice but to act as if he was willing to sacrifice his own life to accompany me.

From the name, one could tell that the Affiliated High School of the Teacher University was a secondary school attached to Jiangnan University. However, the Affiliated High School of the Teacher University was not built next to Jiangnan University.

After waiting for a taxi, I pulled Liu Ren onto it.

"Master, the university is attached to the high school."

As soon as I got on the taxi, I told the taxi driver where I was going, but the taxi driver, who was smiling a lot, was terrified when he heard the address. He refused to take the bus, so he hurriedly told us to get off.

It was fortunate that Liu Ren was very understanding and directly said 'pay up' before his master's attitude softened. In the end, he reluctantly agreed to send us to the vicinity.

I slanted my eyes to glance at Liu Ren. It was obvious that some aspect of the Affiliated High School was very famous in Jiang-Nan city. Yet, Liu Ren and his gang actually went there to explore, so the only thing I could say was — That's right!

Liu Ren lowered his head again after I looked at him. The car fell into a strange silence.

In this silence, the taxi ran for half an hour and finally saw the school. The driver quickly stopped the car and urged us to get off. After we got off the taxi to get our money, they quickly ran away.

I stared at the departing taxi and shrugged my shoulders. "I wanted to tell him that there was a passenger in the back."

When Liu Ren heard my words, he couldn't help but shiver.

As soon as we got out of the car, a shadow that we couldn't see immediately jumped into the car. I was going to help the driver deal with it, but since he was in a hurry to leave, it didn't matter.

"Don't worry!" "He's just a lonely ghost, he can't hurt anyone!"

Looking at the trembling Liu Ren, I felt the need to comfort him. I patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile. But he seemed to shake even more.

Ignoring the departing taxi and the trembling Liu Ren, I looked at the distant school and my surroundings and subconsciously frowned.

The surroundings were extremely eerie. It was either the ruins of a abandoned building or a dark and cold forest. The old road had already cracked open. The wind blowing through the windows of the building made people's hearts shiver.

This street was most likely the bustling commercial street that had grown up with the Jiangnan Normal University and Affiliated High School. Each school had a similar street surrounding them. However, after the school was closed, this street was naturally abandoned.

Liu Ren and I walked for about half a kilometer, until the buildings on both sides of the road gradually dwindled. At the end, there were only some strange-looking trees on both sides of the road.

The silence was terrible, and I focused my attention.

It was now summer, and at night it was time for the bugs to buzz, especially in the countryside.

However, at this moment, I couldn't hear a single sound on the road I was walking on. The entire forest was like a silent beast, quietly lying there, waiting for its prey.

"Meow!"

When we were less than five hundred meters from the school, a black cat suddenly jumped out of the woods. Its sharp cry pierced my eardrums and broke the silence of the night.

The sudden shout made the atmosphere even more strange.

The wind rustled the leaves as if someone were whispering in the woods, and the shadows of the moonlit trees came crawling toward us like grotesque monsters, and a chill came down from the depths of the trees.

"Brother …" Brother Guang, why don't we go back? You don't know what we saw the day before yesterday. If I didn't run away early, I'm afraid that I would still be lying on the bed with other people. "

Liu Ren's teeth chattered as he hid behind me with a sobbing tone in his voice. His entire body was trembling as he looked at the entrance of the school.

"Then go back!" I shrugged indifferently.

"Really?!" Liu Ren looked at me in disbelief, his face filled with joy.

"Of course, you already have that thing's aura of death on you, it doesn't matter where you go." A mocking sneer surfaced on my face as I spoke sinisterly while looking at Liu Ren, who was about to turn around and leave.

"Wide... "Brother Guang …" Just as I took a step forward, Liu Ren turned his head and looked at me resentfully, as if I had just been bullied by a young wife.

"Don't worry." "With me here, I guarantee that you'll be fine." Instead of teasing Liu Ren, I gave him a shot in the heart and headed back to school.

Liu Ren quickly caught up in a panic.

Sensing Liu Ren's movements, I intentionally slowed down my pace to wait for him. Of course, everything I said earlier was true, Liu Ren's body was indeed covered with a trace of death aura. As long as the dirty thing was solved, this problem would naturally be solved, and only then would the students who were still lying in the hospital truly wake up.

I walked to the roadside and grabbed a handful of dirt. I could feel that the yin aura in the dirt far exceeded that of the outside world. I was certain that this school was built on top of a graveyard.

Without stopping, I decisively walked towards the rusted big door.

The school gate was made of iron bars and had long been wrapped in brown rust. The surrounding walls were low and dilapidated. The collapsed bricks were piled up against the walls and were gradually covered by weeds.

There were also several rusted and abandoned school buses parked at the entrance. The tires were shriveled, the windows were broken, spider webs covered the inside, and the feces inside were all in a mess.

I didn't waste too much time at the school gates. I pushed open the gates, and the sound of rusted iron grinding against metal made one's teeth ache. The sound echoed around the empty campus, unable to calm down for a long time.

In the center of the square, there was a statue of Confucius. The originally lifelike, spotlessly white statue of Confucius that exuded a scholarly aura was now wrapped in thorns. The white jade statue was covered with a layer of yellow dirt, and weeds were growing out from the cracks.

The whole square was filled with weeds and thorns. The street lamps and stone stools were worn out a long time ago, and were filled with wild vines.

The water in the pool had turned green and gave off a dizzying stench.

I took a cursory glance around the school. The school was quite large, and the moonlight wasn't very bright. The abandoned tall buildings also blocked my view, making it impossible to see the entire school.

He had no choice but to take things one step at a time. He first went to the nearest abandoned building that looked like a teaching building to investigate and see if he could find any clues.

I didn't call Liu Ren as I walked towards the school building. When Liu Ren saw the building, he couldn't help but shiver. However, the metal door behind us was suddenly blown by the wind, causing it to creak.

As soon as I entered this school building, even though my physique was so tenacious, I couldn't help but shiver. The temperature was too low, I could even clearly see the white air I was exhaling. As for Liu Ren behind me, he looked even worse.

Apart from this, the surroundings were frighteningly cold. The sound of Liu Ren's and my footsteps echoed in the corridor. The desks on both sides of the classroom were arranged in a disorderly fashion.

I frowned and was about to ask Liu Ren where they had met with trouble.

However, at this moment, the sound of a third person's footsteps could be heard in the corridor.
