Chapter 311: Chapter 311: Pretending to Be a Ghost
Suddenly, Wang Hao heard footsteps coming from the staircase on one side of the old dormitory building. Even though the footsteps were faint, Wang Hao could hear them clearly, so he hurriedly followed the sound.
But when he reached the stairwell, the footsteps vanished again.
"Fuck, this goddamn place is really freaky!"
Unable to hold back, Wang Hao cursed inwardly as he ascended the stairs, concentrating the Heart of the Dragon energy in his hand in case he needed to respond quickly to danger. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Now Wang Hao was extremely cautious with every step he took, pausing after every two steps to carefully observe his surroundings, remaining vigilant at all times in case something suddenly popped out.
In this way, he made it all the way to room 414 on the fourth floor without noticing anything unusual.
So Wang Hao decided to go in and see for himself what the inside of this dormitory, rumored to be quite eerie by outsiders, was really like.
The dormitory door was made of stainless steel and looked very old. It wasn’t closed, just left ajar.
With a gentle push, the door swung open, revealing four bunk beds with desks underneath.
But what was very strange was that the windows of this dormitory had no security bars installed, not even glass panes, and both windows were open.
"Hehe!"
Just as Wang Hao was about to step in and take a look, a weird laugh suddenly echoed in his ears.
Even though it wasn’t loud, it reverberated continuously in the corridor. This sound would have sent chills down anyone’s spine even in broad daylight, let alone in the deep of the night in a place devoid of people.
Wang Hao quickly backed out and glanced around hurriedly.
To his right, at the end of the corridor, he caught a glimpse of a figure that disappeared with a flash.
Wang Hao was certain that what he had seen was definitely a figure because it had hands and feet, so he dashed to the end of the corridor with a burst of speed.
But once he got there, he still found nothing, and there were no stairs here, making it impossible for anyone to escape to the upper floor.
However, Wang Hao’s attention was quickly drawn to a nearby toilet. Although this was a girls’ dormitory toilet, no one had lived here for years, so going right in shouldn’t make him look like a pervert, right?
Moreover, Wang Hao had also heard that unclean things usually liked to hide in dark places like toilets.
Wang Hao slowly walked into the toilet. Each stall was separately doored, with a total of six individual toilets, but five of the doors were broken, leaving only one intact.
Having found nothing inside, Wang Hao proceeded to open the doors of the stalls one by one.
As he was about to do so, the toilet door suddenly slammed shut with a "bang."
Wang Hao’s heart jolted, and sensing trouble, he immediately turned to pull the door, but it was locked from the outside and wouldn’t budge.
With no other options, Wang Hao used the energy of the Heart of the Dragon to concentrate force in his fist and punched the toilet door.
"Crack—"
The door was punched right through and fell to the floor, and Wang Hao also saw a figure collapse on the ground. He rushed forward, concentrating energy in his hand, and grabbed the shadow.
But when he saw the face of the figure, Wang Hao couldn’t help but freeze.
"Why is it you?"
Relying on the special energy of the Heart of the Dragon, Wang Hao could see the other person’s face clearly—it was Shen Shiyi!
Hearing this voice, Shen Shiyi trembled all over and quickly took out a flashlight to shine it on Wang Hao’s face. Recognizing Wang Hao, Shen Shiyi first froze, then her expression turned to relief and joy.
"Brother Wang, it’s you? What are you doing here?"
Shen Shiyi quickly took out a tissue to wipe her nose and tears, probably frightened from before.
Fortunately, it was Wang Hao she had encountered; had it been a fierce ghost, she would have been doomed.
"I should be asking you that question, what are you doing here so late?"
Wang Hao asked in return.
"I..."
Shen Shiyi’s lips moved slightly, but she didn’t voice her true thoughts.
"Alright, if you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t press you. This place is too sinister, I’d better get you out of here first!"
Wang Hao grabbed Shen Shiyi, ready to walk out.
But Shen Shiyi stubbornly refused to get up and shook her head at Wang Hao.
"You, a girl, staying here in the middle of the night, do you have a death wish?"
Wang Hao looked at Shen Shiyi with incomprehension.
When Wang Hao had accompanied Qi Shihan to register at the school, he knew well that Shen Shiyi was recognized as the bare-faced belle of Xiangtan University.
But almost all the boys, including the Yi Family’s young master Yi Zetian, avoided her like the plague, which Wang Hao had found very strange at the time.
And today, during the day, she had even taken Qi Shihan to the old dormitory to see the deceased, which was even more bizarre.
Wang Hao always felt there was something suspicious about Shen Shiyi’s identity.
Most female classmates would feel scared just mentioning this old dormitory, but Shen Shiyi was strangely the opposite, running to this old dormitory building alone so late at night; it was more than just bravery could explain.
This woman must be no simple character.
The problem now was that Shen Shiryi wouldn’t tell Wang Hao anything and was unwilling to leave with him.
"It’s fine if you don’t want to leave, but don’t make that terrifying sound again," he said.
Wang Hao had thought the laugh from before was made by Shen Shiyi.
But after hearing what Wang Hao said, Shen Shiyi’s face instantly changed.
"That wasn’t a sound I made," she said, trembling.
Wang Hao immediately felt a shiver creep over his scalp. If that sound wasn’t made by Shen Shiyi, could there be someone else here?
If there wasn’t anyone else, then was it truly a sound made by demons or ghosts?
The very thought was terrifying, but just as he considered this,
"Hehe!"
The terrifying laughter appeared once more, feeling as if it was right beside them, but he quickly looked around and didn’t even see a ghostly shadow.
This time, even Wang Hao felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up.
If it were an actual face-to-face standoff with ghosts or monsters, Wang Hao might not have been scared, but he was worried about this situation where the terrifying atmosphere would arise now and then, leaving you baffled,
never being able to guess what it could be. This sort of unknown was what most easily sparked fear in people.
"Is this... a human... or a ghost?"
Shen Shiyi quickly grabbed onto Wang Hao’s clothes, so afraid she was nearly in tears. It was evident she was utterly petrified.
"I should get you out of here first!" said Wang Hao, still feeling it wasn’t safe for Shen Shiyi to stay.
But even though she was so scared, Shen Shiyi still outright refused Wang Hao, which gave him an immense headache and left him very confused.
What exactly was it that made Shen Shiyi insist on staying here when she was obviously so frightened?
"If you don’t want to leave, then just hold on to me tightly and remember never to let go!"
Wang Hao extended his right hand towards Shen Shiyi.
Without any hesitation, Shen Shiyi grabbed Wang Hao’s hand. Feeling the warmth of his palm, she immediately felt much more at ease.
"This girl’s hand is really quite tender and soft, just like the flowing water in a little river," he thought.
Remembering Shen Shiyi’s beautiful face and stunning figure, Wang Hao couldn’t help but blush.
Shen Shiyi noticed this as well. Her cheeks tinged with red, she looked down at the man whose hand she was clutching tightly.
Although Wang Hao didn’t say a word, that silent care gave rise to ripples in the depths of her heart. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
And so, Wang Hao continued to walk through the dormitory building with Shen Shiyi’s hand in his.
