"That...... There are ghosts in the old building! It's still a very spooky ghost! Qi Zhen couldn't help but exclaim.

"Ghosts? …… Are you referring to the legend that the old school building is haunted? Teacher Ling's tone was a little hesitant, as if he remembered something.

"Teacher Ling, don't be deceived by him! That's how he is, every day he says he sees ...... at school Ghosts, monsters, and stuff, but none of us have ever noticed anything out of the ordinary! Ge Hong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly reminded Teacher Ling.

The others immediately chimed in: "Yes! Oh, yes! He often lied to us like that! ”

"I didn't lie to you! The old building...... There really are ghosts! …… Teacher Ling, you must be 'discerning' to believe in me and make decisions for me! Qi Zhen was simply speechless, he actually took a step forward, grabbed Teacher Ling's cuffs, and hurriedly confessed, his expression was both aggrieved and pitiful, tears were full, and the corners of his eyes were immediately wet, like a sensational woman who played the role of a third-rate TV series and shouted grievances.

It's so contrived!

Even Chang Qing and I knew that he really didn't talk nonsense this time, but seeing him like this, the two of us also had chills down our spines and goosebumps!

"Qi Zhen! You...... Look at you like this...... Alas, what a 'living treasure'! Ge Hong and the others were stunned at first, and then they all laughed, and Xu Shan deliberately made a vomiting appearance while laughing.

Chang Qing and I glared at Qi Zhen fiercely, there was no blame in our eyes, but more helplessness, how could such a terrifying thing come out of his mouth with this effect? Qi Zhen had no choice but to let go of the hand that was holding Teacher Ling's cuff in a huff under the stares of the two of us.

"I can attest to," I finally said calmly amid a burst of laughter, "and he said the truth!" ”

My voice was so loud that I was already finished, and the aftermath echoed in the classroom, and of course because the laughter had abruptly stopped. There was no joke in my words, and there was not the slightest hesitation, they were just like hailstones falling from the sky, smashing everyone with stupid expressions!

"How do you prove it? Do you see it...... Ghost? Zhang Lu was the first to react, she deliberately said the word "ghost" very seriously, as if to remind me, and also to remind everyone, this is a non-existent, non-existent thing!

Except for Qi Zhen, Chang Qing, and Teacher Ling, who was a little distracted, everyone looked at me in surprise.

I sighed to myself, wondering what words to use to prove it.

People are sometimes really paranoid, as long as they are not recognized by science, they have not seen things, or things that everyone unanimously resists, they will deny them to the end. In fact, there are many phenomena in this world that we cannot explain with common sense; There are many things that cannot be erased by denial alone. For everything that we can't explain yet, maybe it's better to have an objective and indifferent attitude, anyway, one day we will all know the answer, of course it's another thing to accept it or not!

"Because, we are ...... old building" I was about to briefly recount what happened last night, but Teacher Ling suddenly interrupted me: "Actually, the legend that the old school building is haunted has a long history, do you want to hear this legend?" Teacher Ling's tone was very serious, although the tone was still soft, but to me, there was a faint sentimentality and desolation.

"Good! All right! …… We love to hear ghost stories! Mo Qianqian replied briskly, beckoning Ge Hong and Zhang Lu to sit down on the empty seats in the middle of the classroom, looking at Teacher Ling with interest, and Ye Fei and Shao Qing also sat silently next to them.

I don't believe in ghosts, but I have a soft spot for ghost stories, which is also a strange and common phenomenon!

I chose a seat facing Mr. Ling and decided to listen to the story, which might be useful for us to understand the weirdness of the old building. Chang Qing and Qi Zhen looked at me, and they both closed their mouths and sat down beside me.

"Our school was founded in 1928, and this old building was built in 1929, so it existed almost at the same time as the school. At that time, the building was a state-of-the-art building, with a concrete and steel frame structure that could accommodate 12 classes and hundreds of students at the same time.

However, after the site was selected, some people predicted that the feng shui here was extremely poor, and it was a 'desperate place' with extremely strong yin energy, and they also said that no trees or grass must be planted in front of the building, otherwise it would attract ...... Calamity!

The first principal at that time was a college student who had studied in a foreign school and was born in a wealthy businessman's family, so he didn't believe this rumor at all, and thought it was alarmist! Together with one of the architects he hired, he designed the layout of the building, and also planned a meadow in front of the building, with many trees planted between the grass and the fence, which they thought would be good for the health of the students. Then the construction of the new school building began, and the work went smoothly.

On the day of the completion of the building, the wind and the sun were beautiful and peaceful. However, the architect who designed the drawings suddenly received an urgent call from home, saying that his only child, who was studying in another middle school in Suzhou, had unfortunately drowned! Two days later, the architect's wife also died suddenly. Just when everyone began to panic, the architect himself disappeared in the teaching building again! All the teachers in the school were mobilized by the principal to look for them, and later the police helped to find them, and they simply searched every inch of the school, but there was no trace.

At this time, the teachers and students were inevitably alarmed, and the principal publicly declared at the school assembly: "What happened before, whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, is just a coincidence!" Don't be afraid, if there really is any evil scourge, let them all come to me! In this way, everyone was finally a little relieved. For a long time after that, the school was calm and quiet, and nothing unusual happened.

About 10 years later, during the Japanese invasion of China, the situation was extremely turbulent, and the school was very difficult, but the principal still insisted that the teachers teach the students. Although the principal did not believe in Feng Shui, he had been single and lived alone in a small bungalow next to the school's woods just in case it did not hurt others. One afternoon after school, after the students left, he entered the school building, and just like the missing architect, he disappeared inexplicably! Soon after his disappearance, the school could not continue, and soon Suzhou was attacked by the Japanese army, and the teachers and students of the school dispersed in a hurry, leaving only empty classrooms.

It was not until five or six years later, after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, that the school ushered in its second principal. The principal's surname is Liao, and he is less than forty years old, and he is a resolute and resolute person. He also didn't believe in the feng shui of the teaching building, so he renovated the campus a little and still held classes in that teaching building.

Less than a month after classes resumed, something happened in the newly renovated school building. First, the only two female teachers in the school jumped from the classroom on the second floor during class, and there was a soft grass below, but they had their heads broken and their necks were broken, and they died tragically on the spot. Then five male students were chatting in the corridor on the third floor, and suddenly they all fell to the ground, and when Principal Liao heard the news, they were already breathless, and they had turned into five cold corpses!

This is where the rumors of the haunting began, for the moments before the five boys fell, there were several boys standing in the nearest classroom window, and they all said in unison that they saw 'a distorted black shadow with a strange glow of water' passing past the five boys. ”

Water light? A distorted black shadow? My heart moved slightly, why did it sound a little familiar?

Without allowing me to think about it, Teacher Ling continued, "The other students, on the other hand, said that they first heard a creepy laugh, and then heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. When they looked closer, the five boys were lying on their backs, silent. They were stiff and expressionless, but there were no visible wounds on their bodies, and no blood was visible. Principal Liao immediately called someone to report the case, and the police department sent someone to investigate, because they died strangely, so there was a forensic doctor to perform an autopsy. After repeated examinations, the conclusion was - the cause of death was unknown!

As a result, rumors such as "the teaching building is a feng shui Jedi", "the school is shocked by a terrifying black shadow", and "the students are being asked for their lives by powerful ghosts" have spread far and wide, stirring up panic in the school. Principal Liao was very annoyed, so he publicly declared that he would investigate to the end and find out this so-called 'life-seeking ghost'! He used to live in the small bungalow of the former principal, but after the accident, he actually moved to the second floor of the school building and lived in the current storage room. Since Principal Liao moved into the teaching building, the school has been calm again, because he patrols up and down the teaching building every night, not to mention the ghosts, and he doesn't even see ghosts. ”

Teacher Ling was originally leaning against the table to narrate, but when he said this, he suddenly stood up straight and looked out the window in a daze. Although most of them, Ge Hong, Xu Shan, Mo Qianqian, Zhang Lu, Ye Fei, and Shao Qing, did not believe in the existence of "ghosts", but China's thousands of years of cultural deposition, and the folk theory of ghosts and gods had more or less had some influence in everyone's minds, so they all showed a high degree of tension without exception.

Chang Qing's face was as usual, but when he heard that it was urgent, his hand would pull his hair, and this unconscious action reflected that his emotions were actually quite nervous. Qi Zhen's face turned blue, and his body trembled slightly, as if he was reminiscent of last night's experience.

And I was thinking intently, is the "distorted and deformed black shadow with a strange water light" that Teacher Ling mentioned just now the same thing we encountered last night?

Is it the elusive ghost in Chen Qiu's mouth?

Or is it a youkai that she can't be sure of either? Or neither?

After a while, seeing that Teacher Ling was still looking out of the window in distraction, Zhang Lu asked half frightened and half confused: "Since this is the case, how can there be a ...... later?" What about haunted legends? ”

Teacher Ling was awakened, she turned around and smiled reluctantly: "Oh, my story is not finished yet!" …… The principal Liao lived in the school building for four years, and his wife came to Suzhou from the countryside in 1949 on the eve of the liberation of the country, where he lived with him. One day in the middle of the night, the school's janitor, who lived in a small bungalow next to the woods where Principal Liao moved out, was awakened by the terrible screams of a woman coming from the teaching building.

He remembered the rumors from a few years ago, and he really couldn't muster up the courage to go into the school building to check, so he had to wait outside the building until dawn. After dawn, teachers and students arrived at the school one after another, and the janitor panicked to tell what happened in the middle of the night. Some teachers immediately went to report the crime, and most of the teachers rushed into the school building with some bold students, and they rushed to the storage room on the second floor, and when they opened the door, they saw that the room was empty, the beds were messy, and the floor was a mess, but there was no blood and no corpses.

Because of the special background of the times and the chaotic situation at that time, the police department only conducted a routine investigation and hastily closed the case as an ordinary disappearance. After the liberation, the Public Security Bureau took over the previous case and re-investigated, but there were no other clues except for the absurd testimony of the janitor. After the disappearance of Principal Liao and his wife, the higher education department soon sent a third principal to calm people's hearts.

Gradually, the school returned to peace, and those old cases were sealed in the dust. But death was not imprisoned in the dusty years! Every 10 years, in 1959, 1969, and 1979, there would be strange deaths of teachers and students around the school building, and the number of deaths increased with the years; And the principal who happens to be in office will all disappear mysteriously without exception! After the disappearance of the school's seventh principal ten years ago, the school building was officially abandoned.

From 1928 to the present, in the past 60 years, six of the school's nine principals have disappeared, and more than 100 teachers and students have died. President Gao, who had just taken office the year before last, therefore explicitly forbade teachers and students from approaching the building, and he himself would never set foot in the building again. …… This is the beginning and end of the haunted legend of this haunted building, which is now known as the 'Old Building'! ”

Although it was narrating such a strange and terrifying story, Teacher Ling's voice was still soft and pleasant, her eyes were a little misty, and her beautiful eyes shimmered with dreamlike colors like crystal.

But at this time, we no longer have the heart to admire, our ears seem to be echoing with the hideous laughter of death, and many fears welled up in our hearts for no reason, and a large shadow seems to float silently towards us in front of us!

"It's just a story, it's not true! You don't have to ...... Cup, cup bow snake shadow! Qi Zhen held back for a long time, and actually said these two words, adding a bit of real horror to the already depressing atmosphere.

Everyone looked around, just listening to Teacher Ling's story, I don't know when it was dark, through the open classroom door, you can see that there is no one walking around the campus, a gust of wind blows, the fallen leaves on the ground make a monotonous "lala" sound, basketball hoops, single parallel bars and other brand-new sports equipment are painted with a layer of gray mist in the twilight and look even more lifeless, the white cement walkway is like a snake with twists and turns, coldly dividing the ground into pieces. Without the noise of the day, the whole campus is so quiet that it makes people palpitate, like a graveyard!

"Did you go to the 'Old Building' yesterday? …… What do you see? Teacher Ling walked up to me, patted me on the shoulder and asked.

Perhaps it was too quiet and oppressive all around, and her voice sounded a little distorted.

My mind was pulled back from my fugue yesterday? Yes, yesterday was around this time, and I entered the "old building".

Worst!

I listened to the story ********, and I forgot Sun Anning's instructions, didn't he tell me not to stay today?

"Yes. Yesterday we ......" Qi Zhen saw that there was an opportunity to clarify, and hurriedly spoke.

"We entered the 'old building' yesterday, but we didn't see anything!" Chang Qing suddenly took over the conversation and completely overturned what Qi Zhen had said before.

"What? …… That Qi Zhen just now...... And didn't she say......" Ge Hong looked at Changqing and then looked back at me, obviously annoyed.

I glanced at everyone and saw that everyone's expressions were shocked, and I didn't quite understand Changqing's intentions, so I had to say vaguely: "We...... I heard that the old building was haunted. Yesterday...... It was so dark that we got lost in it and couldn't find a way out, so ......"

"Oops! After a long time, it turned out that you didn't see each other at all...... Hell! Before I finished speaking, the anxious Zhang Lu screamed, and when she screamed, Mo Qianqian and Xu Shan breathed a long sigh of relief.

"It turned out to be your random suspicions, I thought it was ...... There really is! Ye Fei glanced at Shao Qing, his expression much more relaxed.

Qi Zhen listened to my words and Chang Qing's words, first dumbfounded, and then repeatedly flew at the two of us with both aggrieved and puzzled looks. Ge Hong was uncharacteristically silent, just looking at me and Chang Qing with strange eyes.

I ignored all of this, only remembered Sun Anning's instructions in my heart, and decided to take this opportunity to persuade them to rehearse the show in another place.

"That being said, but you also heard what Teacher Ling said just now, Principal Lian Gao forbade us to go near this old building, I think, there must be many strange places in this building, let's not choose next to it for tomorrow's rehearsal!" After saying that, I first looked at Ge Hong, praying in my heart that she had better agree with my suggestion.

"Since it's just some legends, we don't need to be ...... Frightened Bird! Ge Hong regained her confident demeanor, "Besides, if we don't go into the old building to rehearse, there shouldn't be any danger!" Xu Shan, Mo Qianqian and Zhang Lu have always looked at Ge Hong's horse, and nodded their heads again and again; Ye Fei, Shao Qing and their minds were the same, and they all felt that there was really no need to be scared just because they heard a terrible story.

Six against three, I and Chang Qing and Qi Zhen belong to the minority, and I had to turn my head and look at Teacher Ling with hope.

“…… What Ge Hong said also makes sense. …… So let's put the rehearsal in the woods at the farthest point of the wall, which is the farthest from the old building; We rehearsed at 5-6 p.m. every afternoon, before it got dark; After the rehearsal, we all left together, and we would never be left alone! Is that good? Teacher Ling pondered for a while, gently stroked my head, and proposed a compromise solution.

Of course, Ge Hong and the others agreed, and Chang Qing and Qi Zhen couldn't find a reason to object, I sighed secretly, the matter has come to this point, so I have to wait and see what happens!
