Text Chapter 102 The Land of Raising Ghosts
After paying the driver's fare, I opened the door and got out of the taxi.
It was late autumn, and the cold wind was rampaging through the air with dust and a thick scarf wrapped around their cheeks, and pedestrians were hurrying to and fro on their bicycles.
Thirty meters to my left is the gate of Qianjin High School, where two uniformed security guards sit at the door reading the newspaper.
I stood by the white lamppost and quietly peered into the school through the half-open iron door.
The gate was ajar, but no one was in or out. A few women with briefcases were hurrying along the tree-lined paths of the school, a little far away from me, and their heads were bowed, so that they could not see the expressions on their faces.
There are no shadows of students in my field of vision, and it looks like they should be in class.
It's a bad time for me to come at this time, it's half past three in the afternoon, and the school should have just started.
You can't wait until they get out of school in the evening, can you? That's too much time, and more importantly, who knows when the principal of the school will leave work? If he had already gone home by the time I went in, wouldn't it have been for nothing?
So, now it's better to get in as soon as possible.
Then the question arises, how do I get in?
It's definitely not okay to walk directly through the gate, and now is different from when school is out. There are so many people at the end of the school day that the two security guards will definitely not be able to cope with it. And now all the students are in class.
The two security guards must carefully check every stranger who enters and exits. They're just doing their job, and they probably don't know what the hell they're doing to be watchdogs...
I was lost in thought... The school covers such a large area, so you might as well walk around it and see if you can find other entrances.
Thinking of this, I wiped my nose and walked across the gate, along the white walls of the school.
The wall on the perimeter of the school is more than three meters high, and it is absolutely impossible to climb over it, not to mention the sharp broken glass slag at the very top of the wall. If someone could climb to the top with a ladder, they would be cut all over the glass and bruised.
It seems that the school has also gone to great lengths to prevent outsiders from sneaking out and discovering the secret.
I was not in a hurry, and I continued to move forward patiently.
The school is also generous, and the ground around it is a smooth gray-brown cement floor, which is much more pleasing to the eye than the potholed road next to it. The tall walls are covered with a beautiful white coat of paint.
This must be a lot of money, but it's a pity that no matter how glamorous the appearance is, it can't hide the dirt inside the school... The money is nothing more than exploiting the students and then using it to decorate the façade.
Dark clouds gathered across the sky, so thick that it darkened the sky.
I glanced up at the gray sky, and gray-black clouds spread across the sky like oil-stained rags.
The weather is very cloudy today, and it is estimated that it will rain after a delay, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of the task, and it will be drenched in soup before entering the school, and there may be some unexpected dangers in performing the task on a rainy day...
I quickened my pace and walked around the school for five or six minutes until I finally saw another entrance.
In the middle of the white brick wall are two large rusty iron gates, which are not airtight, but are made up of iron bars like a fence, and are topped with sharp objects like spears. The latch in the middle was locked with an iron chain, and a large lock was inserted into it.
Through the iron gate, you can see that there is a barren wasteland inside, and the withered yellow weeds are very sparse in the east and west. There was not a single figure in sight.
This is supposed to be the back door of the school, somehow desolate like this, and there is not even a caretaker.
This place... It seems to be an abandoned swimming pool... A large pit made of bricks could be faintly seen in the grass.
I don't know what the pit is for, but it seems that only the idea of a swimming pool can be explained.
Seeing that there were no pedestrians around, I clapped my hands and prepared to try to climb over the iron gate.
The structure of this iron gate is not easy to climb, and the spikes at the top make me feel cold under my crotch. If you are not careful when you open the door, you will be stabbed by iron. If you plug it in, you will cut off your children and grandchildren. But for now, this is the only way to enter, and if you hesitate, you really won't have time.
I was already in a good position with my iron rod, and I was about to kick my foot up when the chain on the door suddenly fell to the ground with a clatter.
The door creaked open a crack, and I realized that the iron door was unlocked. It's just a matter of fastening the big lock to the chain.
Gently pushing open the iron door, the iron filings on it are sparsely shaken off, it seems that no one has been here for a long time.
But... I found that the iron lock hanging from the chain was still very new, there was not a trace of rust, and it should have been replaced.
This is strange, since the school locks the door with a sturdy new lock, the purpose must be to pay attention to this exit, and not to want people to enter or leave here. So why is the lock open? Isn't that a wasted effort?
I was wondering when I suddenly noticed some dark red liquid on the handle of the iron door. I snapped a little bit off my finger to take a closer look. The liquid looks like it's congealed blood... And it's fresh...
Has anyone ever entered through this iron gate before?
Realizing that things might not be easy, I couldn't help but feel more relieved, so I cautiously walked into the school, closed the iron door with my backhand, and then fastened the chains and restored them to their original state.
When I walked in, I was still a little surprised that there was such a desolate place in this magnificent school.
The whole field was covered with weeds, and the yellow blades of grass swayed in the cold wind, and the grass clippings streaked through the air. I wrapped my coat tightly and walked forward.
The big pit in front of me was covered by weeds half a meter high, and I couldn't see it unless I looked closely. The area is the size of a room, and the bottom is black and rumbling, and there is no end in sight.
I picked up a rock and threw it down, waiting with my ears open for a long time without hearing a reply.
The depth of this pit is so terrifying, it is certainly not a swimming pool. Once you stumble and fall in, the consequences are unimaginable, and students are forbidden to come to the school.
I pulled out my flashlight and shone it down, but I couldn't see anything in the deep dark hole.
I was unwilling to go around and searchlight twice, and the flashlight in my hand trembled violently.
Under the yellow light, two green dots suddenly flashed inside! It looks like a shiny glass ball.
Could it be that a naughty student threw a toy crystal ball down?
I was wondering when I suddenly noticed countless small green dots lit up in the abyss-like black hole.
It's like a herd of beasts that have woken up after being disturbed by me.
I let out a sigh and subconsciously retracted my head.
Their numbers are truly terrifying, dense as stars in the sky, twinkling with a faint blue light...
In this black hole, there is an indescribable strange aura.
I frowned, what the hell is this... What is it?
They are so dense that if I had a phobia of density, I would have blackened my eyes and fallen to the ground.
I swallowed and foamed, preferring to accept the fact that... These are glowing crystal balls...
However, a phenomenon directly shattered my illusions -
A few dots glowing green suddenly flickered, then turned slightly upward, and the rest of the dots also turned around like a rhino, dripping and spinning upward!
I woke up suddenly... These dots are eyeballs!
They are like cat pupils illuminated by a flashlight in the dark night, exuding a terrifying green glow!
But the strange thing is, how can there be living creatures living in such a ghost place?
Generally speaking, the space of the cave is narrow, the air can not circulate smoothly, and when the organism breathes, it gradually consumes oxygen, and cannot be effectively replenished, resulting in a gradual decrease in oxygen concentration until it can not meet the needs of the organism, resulting in hypoxia, until coma.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to keep animals such as cats and dogs in a deep burrow.
The phenomenon in front of me can no longer be explained by scientific common sense, and what scares me the most is that these bulging green eyeballs seem to be... Staring at me!
I just felt my scalp tingle and my hairs stood on end.
At the bottom of the dark cave, countless eyeballs rolled over and looked at me. It made me feel like I was being targeted by wolves in the dark.
No matter what the situation was, there was no time to delay, and I was determined to turn around and run, not to linger too long.
As soon as I was about to turn around, I suddenly realized that my legs were as if they were on the ground, and I couldn't move an inch.
It's not that your legs are weak due to too much fear, it's more like your brain has lost control of your body!
My Adam's apple rolled up and down, and I wanted to scream, but I couldn't spit out a word when I opened my mouth!
The air seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere around it became extremely eerie.
A sudden strong attraction in the deep hole grabbed my heart firmly, and I could hear a soft murmur in my ears...
It's an extremely slight ethereal sound... More delicate than the male voice, softer than the female voice...
It seems to be the voice of a baby who has just learned to speak, muffled ... Desperately squeezing a word out of my throat...
At the same time, I was shocked to find myself unconsciously walking forward on my legs.
My face turned pale, and the direction in which my feet were heading was the bottomless hole!
Consciousness becomes blurred unconsciously... It's no longer a crater full of eyeballs, but... My comfy little bed in Muyang Village.
Someone in front of me is shouting my name... Sounds like... Gu Ping's voice!
A strong allure condensed in my mind, and the call in my ears grew stronger and stronger...
I eagerly walked to the small bed, wanting to put aside all my worries and knots, just like the days when I was a volunteer teacher in a mountain village, and lay on the bed and sleep beautifully.
"Imp! Don't you want to live! ”
A rebuke was like a slap in the face, and I was thrilled.
I blinked my eyes vigorously, and the scene in front of me made me tremble and my mind went blank—
My feet were already on the edge of the hole, and with a slight movement of half an inch, I would have fallen into this bottomless hole!
What made me shudder the most was that countless black baby heads poked out of the pit at some point, and the fierce blue eyes stared at me in a daze, and saliva slowly flowed down the sharp teeth like an awl... A mouth as big as a bowl wants to eat me to the bone!
I swallowed and spat, and quickly retreated to the grass. In this hole... It's all imps!
Mu Lao's solemn voice reached his ears:
"If the old man's judgment is correct, this is the place where ghosts are raised, and it is the place where the yin qi is the heaviest in the whole school! I'm afraid all the imps in the school are out of here!"
