After graduating from primary school, I entered a middle school in Suzhou and was assigned to the first (6th) class of junior high school.

Most of the original classmates are scattered, and two of my good friends have disappeared in Xu's house and never appeared again, while Chen Qiu is in the first (5) class of junior high school, and Xiao Zhen is in the first (1) class of junior high school.

As for Xu Lan, because of the great changes in the Xu family, she had to follow her parents to the United States.

As we parted, she whispered in my ear, "Little Star, I'm leaving." …… After I'm gone, you must be careful! …… Precious...... I thought she was weird. And Chen Qiu, although she is cold as frost on the surface, she actually ...... to you"

“…… How are you nagging, it's time to catch up with my mom! I know. You can go with confidence, remember to get there...... Write to me! I felt sour in my heart, and I interrupted Xu Lan with a forced smile.

"Well, you know that there must be a reason why she refuses to tell you, so why don't you forgive her?"

I silently really, indeed, the gap between me and Chen Qiu was born from the secret she refused to tell.

"Little star, don't be too yourself......"

I was stunned, looking at Xu Lan's eyes full of doubts.

But this time Xu Lan didn't explain, a gentle smile appeared on her mouth, but tears had already slipped down the corners of her eyes. She hugged me hard and looked at me deeply: "...... Goodbye, little star! …… You have to believe in your heart, not just ...... It's your eyes! ”

I was at a loss, and I watched her get into the car, waved goodbye to me, and the car faded away, and finally disappeared from my sight!

All of a sudden, I became so lonely that it was as if the whole world had left me! I wandered through the alleys in despair, oblivious to what was in front of me.

Trust your heart, not your eyes! Xu Lan's words echoed in his ears over and over again. I seem to understand something, and I don't seem to understand anything!

"Squad leader, what's wrong with you? I'm going to report to school today, why are you still wandering around? "Someone grabbed me.

I looked up blankly and saw that it was ...... Precious!

I was surprised: "Oh...... It's nothing! Report today, I know. ”

"Then you're not leaving? Let's go together! ”

"I, I...... I forgot to take the registration form, you go first! "Since the incident of the Xu family, I have been jealous of Xiao Zhen, and I can no longer be as close as before.

"Well, then! I'll go first. Hurry home and get it, don't be late! Unaware of the subtle changes in me, Jane smiled and waved at me, turning to walk towards the new school.

I stared at her back in amazement, unaware that another person was silently hiding behind me, looking at me in the same daze.

It took me a long time before I walked slowly to the school, after all, I still had to report for duty. After paying the fee and giving the registration form to our new class teacher, I followed the new classmates who didn't know each other to the classroom of the first (6th) class, sat on the seats with their names on them, and waited noisily for the teacher to arrange the cleaning work.

As soon as he sat down, a hand suddenly stretched out next to him, and a hearty male voice sounded at the same time: "Hello! My name is Chang Qing, your new tablemate. ”

I raised my head coldly, this is a dark complexion, thick eyebrows and big eyes, thin and tall boy, with an ordinary face, but his eyes are very clear, and he is a straightforward and outgoing person at first glance.

"Tablemates? Hum! I glanced at him, pursed my lips disdainfully, and ignored him. Middle school is different from primary school, everyone sits at a small desk alone, and there is no such thing as sharing a table.

Seeing that I ignored him, he withdrew his hand in a daze, but he still did not give up, and approached me again and said, "Ah, what is your name?" ”

I swept my eyes over the desk, wasn't my name taped to it? Why do you still knowingly ask?

He followed my line of sight and saw my name, his expression was very embarrassed, he pulled his hair and said, "Ahem...... It turns out that the names are all posted on the desk! …… My name is Evergreen...... Yes...... Can I be friends with you? ”

I almost rolled my eyes at him, and I didn't know him, so why bother?

"Hmm...... That is true. I...... I just came to Suzhou from out of town and a friend ...... Nor did it! ”

What does this have to do with me? I finally couldn't help but roll my eyes.

"So, I ...... I want to be friends with you! He didn't seem to notice my impatience and said persistently.

I was in a bad mood and was about to refuse, but I saw his clear and bright eyes, the déjà vu, unyielding persistence, my heart was slightly sour, and he was a stubborn guy! Sighing secretly, I said helplessly, "...... All right! Sit down, the teacher is here! His eyes lit up, and he pulled at his hair again with pleasure before he sat down in the row next to me.

And just like that, on my first day of middle school, I somehow made a stubborn and silly friend.

After a few days of observation, I found out that my new "tablemate" is a warm-hearted person, cough, better described as "helpful", and vice versa! Before each class, he must help the teacher clean the blackboard; He must stay every day to clean up, and he volunteered to be responsible for cleaning all the corridors and groves next to the ping-pong table in the most tiring lump sum area, the old school building.

Therefore, a week later, he was unanimously elected as a labor committee member of our class.

He also tried his best to recommend me to be a propaganda commissioner, just kidding! The publicity committee is responsible for the blackboard newspaper of the class, and also assists the recreation committee to cope with various school activities and organize class activities, and I am not in the mood to do it now!

Who knows, our chubby homeroom teacher just pushed his glasses and actually agreed!

I frowned, and just as I wanted to stand up and refuse, a few naughty boys coaxed below: "Yo, are you still twisting and pinching?" What a big shelf! …… I'm afraid I won't be able to do it! ”

I turned my head and saw several girls whispering, "That's it! It's not generous! Shame on our girls! ”

I gritted my teeth and had to stand up and say, "Thank you for your trust, I will do this job well!" ”

After school, everyone is not in a hurry to go home like in elementary school, but stays in the class in twos and threes to chat. I was so angry that I naturally didn't have the heart to participate, so I packed my schoolbag and prepared to go home.

The classroom door suddenly "clanged", and a staggering figure rushed in, shouting in a garbled voice: "...... Ghost...... Ghosts! Help me! ”

Everyone was startled at first, and when they saw the people who rushed in clearly, they all shook their heads and smiled bitterly, and some of the short-tempered classmates in the class even scolded: "It's you again!" Ghosts, ghosts, ghosts! It's this old trick every day, don't you be annoyed? ”

"Trust me, it's true today! It's true! Me, I...... It's true...... See! ......" The man who threw himself at the table in the first row looked up, frightened and pitiful in defense.

Everyone turned their heads and continued to chat, ignoring him. Although I was not in a good mood, I couldn't help but laugh.

The boy who rushed in, named Qi Zhen, was a great treasure in our class. Since the day of his official class, he has to perform a "ghost story" every day, and the performance is realistic, "singing and doing well", either being kicked by a ghost in the toilet, or being chased by a ghost in the hallway, or being stuck by a ghost in the woods.

At first, we thought it was real and followed him to check, but who knows, we didn't see anything abnormal. Later, when I met his former elementary school classmates, I learned that he just had this strange problem, he liked to talk nonsense, and he had seen many doctors, but he didn't see why. There was no way, everyone had to treat him as air.

"Hey, just trust me once! …… It's true! I...... I see it! Qi Zhen cried and looked at everyone with begging eyes.

"Humph!" Everyone snorted twice in tacit understanding, and unanimously adopted an attitude of indifference.

"Qi Zhen, where did you meet the ghost this time?" Only Chang Qing is the only guy who asks him seriously.

"Ah...... I really ...... this time I really saw it! …… It was on the second floor of the old school building, and I, I saw a ...... ...... of the event Skeleton! It's horrible! Yay, alive! ”

Skeleton! I slammed to my feet, so hard that I knocked over my desk! School bags, dictionaries, and miscellaneous objects all smashed on my feet, but I didn't seem to be aware of it, but I felt a sharp pain in my heart, like a sharp blade.

Skeleton! …… Alive?!

I stepped over the overturned table, grabbed Qi Zhen's collar, and asked eagerly, "Is he ...... Where? ”

"In ...... In the ......, "Qi Zhen was grabbed by my collar for some reason, his face was full of horror, and he couldn't even finish his words.

My classmates looked at me dumbfounded, and the classroom suddenly fell silent.

"On the second floor of the old building. You let go of Qi Zhen's collar first! Chang Qing reacted first, reaching out to pull away my fingers that were clenching Qi Zhen's collar.

"On which side of the second floor?" I refused to let go and asked sharply.

“…… Left...... Oh no! It's on the right! Right ...... A place by the stairs! Qi Zhen's face was pale, but the frightened look at the beginning disappeared for the most part, and there was even a little excitement flashing in his eyes.

I let go of my hand, turned and rushed out of the classroom, running towards the northeast corner of the school.

Our school has an old school building, which is located in the northeast corner of the campus, behind a small forest, separated by a cement walkway about two meters wide and four cement table tennis tables.

The old building has a long history, it is said to have been built in the twenties of the twentieth century, and it is a reinforced concrete frame structure that was rare at that time. But now it looks very old and decayed, and the whole wall is as dull as an old man.

The building has four floors, each with a large classroom, a small classroom, and a storage room. Because the school has two new school buildings, all the classrooms in the old building are no longer in use, and only the storage rooms on the second and third floors are used to put some obsolete desks, chairs and teaching aids.

And because the old building has rumors of so-called haunting, it is even more unpatronized. Legend has it that on the eve of liberation, two teachers and seven students disappeared in the old building; Every 10 years, there will be rumors in the school that a student or teacher has disappeared in the old building. However, almost every school will have sensational hauntings like this, which are not very credible.

I rushed into the old building in one go, and when I was about to step up the stairs, I suddenly heard a chuckle behind me. The laughter was soft but playful, as if it were a delicate girl, hiding behind the flowers and playing hide and seek, hiding her mouth and snickering because others could not find her.

In this old building that no one cares about, who will smile so delicately? I couldn't help but stop and turn my head to look behind me. Behind him is an empty walkway, as far as the eye can see, not to mention people, not even a moving thing! I looked back in confusion, could it be that someone was hiding here and joking with me? I shook my head, calmed down a bit, and decided to ignore this for the time being, and go to the second floor to check it out.

I hurried up the stairs, huh? The stairs were clean, there was not a single debris or confetti visible, not even a lot of dust, and the gray cement handrails had a polished sheen. The cleaner is really capable of cleaning up the ground of an old building that has been abandoned for many years!

Doubts flashed through my mind, and I slowed down and turned my head to look around. The already blackened walls were constantly seeping with water droplets, very damp, and dotted with strange mold spots, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable and chilled when they looked at it. It's really "gloomy" here, I'm afraid it's really weird!

However, when I thought of Sun Anning, the eagerness in my heart overpowered the fear. I tried to be as clear as I could, no longer looking at the disturbing walls, but paying attention to the movement in the corridor on the second floor and the two open classrooms.

I walked up to the second floor step by step, and a curved corridor appeared in front of me. Without hesitation, I turned to the right-hand side, where there was a small classroom and storeroom. The door of the small classroom was wide open, the wooden window frames were black, and the original paint color was long gone, and the glass was long gone, empty inside, looking like a gray cement box, cold and lifeless. The storage room next to the classroom was windowless, and the only wooden door painted green was tightly closed, with a large old-fashioned lock fastening to it.

Although I was moving very slowly, the corridor was still at the end, and I was not reconciled, and turned back and searched carefully, catching even the slightest sound. This was repeated several times, even to the left side of the hallway, and I finally determined that there was no sign of biological activity in the entire hallway. It seems that only by finding a way to open the storage room can we "find out".

I stood in front of the dark green wooden door, which was half peeling off the paint, and after scanning it, my eyes stopped at the big lock. This is a very old iron lock, it should be old, but the color is as good as new, and there is not a trace of rust to be seen. Odd! How could the lock be so new? I wondered how the contrast between the moldy walls, the peeling window frames and the wooden doors could be so strong.

I stared at the strange lock, how could I open it? As soon as the thought arose, I was amazed to see the lock twist from side to side twice, and with a "click", the deadbolt popped open, and then the wooden door slowly opened in front of me. There were a few faint cries in my ears, as if calling for something, and I hesitated for a moment, but still stepped through the wooden door with my head held high.

There is a lot of space in the door, because there are only two small windows on one side of the outer wall of the building, so the interior is dimly lit, and as soon as you enter, it is gray. After a while, when my eyes got used to it, I could barely make out that there were seventeen or eight broken tables and chairs piled up in the left rear of the storeroom, and in front of the tables and chairs were some broken wooden counters, whips, and many blackened and cracked measuring cups, measuring cylinders, glass bottles, and other experimental equipment. The right side of the pantry was empty, and there was almost nothing, except for the corner against the wall. There stood a long strip of something, obscured by a nondescript but large gray cloth.

I looked at it several times, and like all storage rooms, it was poorly lit and dark, and there was an old smell in the air, and the dust raised by my movement was slightly choking, and there were some shabby things piled up on the floor, which was really not surprising.

I was silent for a moment, ready to leave. But as soon as I turned around, my heart sank. The door, I don't know when, has been tightly shut! I approached the door and pulled it with all my strength, and the door made a "rattling" sound, but it didn't move. Sure enough, it's locked!

I didn't panic, it's "commonplace" anyway.

"Yes...... Who's there? I asked tentatively.

"Hey, hey, hey! Is it a person? "A dull, jerky sound like a sharp knife scraping through metal pierced the silence, and my teeth soured to hear it.

I hurriedly turned around, and there was nothing terrible behind me, except for a large cloud of pale cyan dust suddenly rising from the empty ground. However, if you look closely, it is really inappropriate to say that it is dust. Because after it was lifted, not only did it not disperse, but it twisted into a pile as if it was coated with super glue. In the faint light, this pile of things writhed from side to side, and gradually, it seemed to gather countless droplets of water, and the arbitrarily distorted shape also condensed into a vague tall human figure. However, the slimy, wet feeling makes people can't help but feel sick to their stomachs.

"Are you...... Who? I asked with discomfort.

The humanoid figure did not reply, but leaned over to me, its face unrecognizable, and it did not know what it was talking about, it looked like an illusory shadow reflected in the water, but it gave me the impression that it wanted to study me with interest. I frowned and unconsciously took a few big steps to the side.

"Don't run! …… Get her! "I couldn't see the outline on my face, but it felt very sensitive, and as soon as I moved, I immediately screamed. It was a terrible sound, and I took a few quick strides away from it.

Unexpectedly, it didn't come closer to me again, and it didn't reach out anything. Come and get me, just eerily still.

"Click, click, click......" There was a strange sound from somewhere, and it seemed that someone was walking around with a bamboo cane. Hey, is there anyone else? I looked around in amazement, but there was no one! Except for the strange humanoid "Mizukage" in the storage room, everything was the same as what I had just seen, with nothing more or anything missing.

Yes! Wrong! As soon as the thought came to my mind, I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder, and then everything in front of me fell sideways, and I was lifted off the ground and lifted in the air by a whirlwind.

I was dizzy and trying to keep my balance, and I was horrified that I was holding a skeleton! Strictly speaking, it's a complete skeleton! From head to toe, all the bones were in pieces, and it was impossible to see what connected them, and the miserable white bones glowed with a luster similar to a transparent glaze.

Its movements were rather stiff, the two holes (eyes) in its skull exuded an eerie death, and its grinning mouth showed two rows of snow-white sharp teeth, and its cold movements were even more lifeless.

Definitely not him!

I knew almost from the first time I saw it that it was definitely not Sun Anning! Looking at it, I didn't feel any familiarity, not even a hint of excitement! No matter how it changes, it doesn't feel the same! Everything on the outside may be an illusion, but the feelings deep inside will not deceive you!

It was the long gray cloth-covered thing that had just stood in the right corner of the storeroom, and the strange "click, click" sound was its feet (bones!). The sound of streaking across the ground.

Because it was slowly approaching me under a gray cloth, the storage room was not well lit, and my attention was attracted by the "water shadow", so it was not until it reached me that I suddenly realized that something was wrong, but it was too late. Now my shoulder hurts as if it has been pierced by steel claws and iron thorns, and people are swaying from side to side in the air like rags.
