The two girls were a bit reluctant when Wu Wenyun had just finished her order. Still, just as she had instructed, they prodded Chi Shuyan forward, but they found this time that no matter how much they pushed, she didn’t budge.
The yellowish light in the washroom suddenly exploded and instantly plunged them into darkness. With the dim sky outside, the faint white light shining through the dirty, blurred glass made the toilet look even more eerie, scaring all the girls. Several cowardly girls squealed.
“Screaming ghosts, it’s dark, hurry up. I’m in a hurry to get home for dinner.” Wu Wenyun turned on the flashlight in her phone and urged anxiously.
After Wu Wenyun turned on the flashlight, the other girls reacted and turned on their mobile flashlights too. The toilet was brightly lit and the thin cold light drove away the terrible darkness. They just couldn’t tell if it was just their illusion, but they all felt like a gust of chilly wind had blown in, blowing their necks a bit cold.
“Why is this washroom spooky?” One girl exclaimed, “We’d better hurry home.”
“Tsk, coward.” Zhang Yuhui scoffed, ”With so many of us, what’s there to be scared of? Could it be that you think this washroom is haunted? Fancy that you’re still going to school, even I know there are no ghosts in this world.”
“How could there be no ghosts? One girl died here alone.” A cold female voice came with the sound of the dripping toilet muffling it like a veil.
Zhang Yuhui and the rest looked over only to find that it was Chi Shuyan, who hadn’t spoken or resisted.
Most of Chi Shuyan’s face was sunk in gloom, with her expression unreadable and her head hanging down a bit. Her whole being was like a drop of ink completely plunged into darkness.
Seeing her appearance, the group of girls were so scared that their faces changed drastically. They took several steps back in horror and slightly palpitated. Looking at Chi Shuyan’s appearance at this moment inexplicably reminded them of scenes in ghost movies.
“Chi Shuyan, do you think you’ll get away pretending to be a ghost?” Wu Wenyun frowned at the girls who had retreated several steps, held up her phone and directed the light straight at Chi Shuyan. With one hand, she grabbed Chi Shuyan’s collar and berated, “Lift your head up, are you trying to play ghost? I’m going to beat you into a ghost this time!”
“Guys, come and help.” Wu Wenyun winked and gestured for the girls standing aside to come over and assist, but seeing their resistance, she could only yell, “Lin Chenchen, Xiao Lerong, you two want revenge, don’t you?”
Hearing Wu Wenyun’s words, Lin Chenchen and Xiao Lerong could only walk over and grab Chi Shuyan’s arm respectively.
“You’re not lifting your head? Didn’t I tell you to lift your head up?” Wu Wenyun raised the palm of her hand and struck – SNAP– a girl screamed miserably.
“Wu Wenyun, are you crazy, why are you hitting me?” Lin Chenchen screamed and cursed on the side.
Wu Wenyun froze for a moment. She had clearly struck Chi Shuyan, but the red and swollen fingerprints on Lin Chenchen’s cheeks, which still bore nail marks, were very distinct. She didn’t believe in evil, and when she spotted Chi Shuyan, she gnashed her teeth stubbornly and raised another slap – SNAP – This time it was Xiao Lerong.
“Are you trying to hit her or us?” Xiao Lerong was furious. She covered her red and swollen cheek and stared daggers at Wu Wenyun.
“B-But I clearly saw Wenyun hitting her?” A girl blurted out and Xiao Lerong, whose eyes were blazing in anger, was instantly stupefied. Even Lin Chenchen felt inexplicably cold in the heart, while the group of girls fell silent.
“Better leave now or it will be too late.” Chi Shuyan raised her head, and the dull light and shadow on her face inexplicably looked a bit ominous and eerie.
“I – I suddenly remembered that there was something else going on at home, and I’ll leave you to it.” One of the more timid girls scrambled desperately outside.
“I – My dad just called looking for me. I’m leaving first too, Xiao Min, wait for me.” Another girl also hurried outside.
“Xiao Min, Zeng Yurou, you two are extremely disloyal. If you dare to leave now, I won’t take you both next time.” Zhang Yuhui warned angrily, but her threat didn’t deter the frightened Xiao Min and Zeng Yulou in the slightest, but it did subdue the few restless girls.
“Sister Hui, leave the two of them alone. Lend me a pocket knife first and I’ll quickly finish her off.” Wu Wenyun grinned grimly at Chi Shuyan and said, “You’re good, I thought you were a steamed stuffed bun, but didn’t expect you still have a bit of skill in bluffing. Since you’re so conceited, then I’ll give you a few more cuts in your face.”
“Draw a little turtle.” Xiao Lerong grinned nearby.
“Haha, this is fun, draw another bird.” Lin Chen Chen laughed and came out with another idea.
“All right, I’ll draw you a turtle first.” Wu Wenyun joined in the laughter. Just as her blade was about to reach Chi Shuyan’s cheek, the lights suddenly went out.
“Strange, why is my phone dead?”
“Yeah, my phone won’t turn on either.”
“Have you guys ever felt the chill?” A girl wrapped her arms around herself. Feeling someone tugging at her clothes, she snapped with some impatience, “Stop tugging my clothes.” She long pressed the power button and her phone’s screen suddenly emitted a bright light. She rejoiced, “Yay, my phone is on.” Feeling that someone was still pulling her clothes, and it was slimy and greasy, just like a sweaty hand, she directly turned around with her phone in hand this time and lashed out: “You’re mad, why are you always pulling my…” Before she could even utter the word ‘clothes’ out, she looked down and saw a prostrate ‘person’ raising a hideous grimace. Then she let out a blood-curdling screech, “Ghost, ghost!”
Her phone clattered and landed on the floor, and the faint glow gave the others a rough glimpse of the silhouette in the washroom
All the girls now had a full view of a girl crawling on the ground. The girl, dressed in a white dress, with long hair, was dripping as if she was soaked in water – dripping constantly. Both her legs were crawling forward with a limp as if they had been broken. Above all, lifting that half-rotten face with a grin was monstrously eerie.
She suddenly twisted her head in a crazy arc and shook her head in Chi Shuyan’s direction, then her eyes bubbled with greed. That girl smelled so good, savory, so nice to gnaw on. Just when she wanted to pounce on her, the girl’s shadow in front of her suddenly disappeared.
When Chi Shuyan saw the ghost twist her head and smile strangely at her, she took out an Invisibility Charm and stuck it on her body without changing her face.
Sure enough, as soon as the invisibility charm was stuck, the female ghost looked around and couldn’t see the savory girl she was drooling over. She could only turn her head towards another bunch of wailing girls. Probably having lost a tasty treat, she rose very quickly this time. Her body wobbled as if it would crack into pieces and moved rapidly with warped limbs.
Lin Chenchen, Zhang Yuhui and others had long gone white in fright at the sight of the female ghost. They scurried to the exit of the washroom ashen-faced, but to their horror, they crashed into a wall when they obviously reached the exit at last. They immediately realized that it was a ghost-built wall. Now, they really wanted to cry endless tears.
