Chapter 13. Strange school uniforms

After hearing the bell, I hurriedly said to the male classmate, classmate, don't pay attention to him, he is playing with you. So for the rest of the day, Hu Zongren and I stood silently in the classroom, waiting for the students to disperse. Until the last classmate asked us, this... Uncle, I'm going to lock the door, are you leaving?

Of course you have to go. It was a dumb-looking girl who locked the door. Taking advantage of her inattention, I quickly checked the door of the locker that had been tied up again, then felt a little grave soil and sprinkled it on the ground to cover the dressing I had drawn earlier, and then walked out of the classroom with Hu Zongren.

Director Wang has been waiting for me and Hu Zongren in the faculty office at the end of the corridor, and after the meeting, he told me that since Mr. Ma is currently suspended from work and recuperating at home, when we were in the classroom just now, he had already talked to Mr. Ma on the phone in advance, saying that he had found two masters here to help eliminate disasters and exorcise evil spirits, and asked him if it was inconvenient for us to visit him at night and ask some questions. When Mr. Ma heard about it, he agreed very urgently. I said to Director Wang, the master really doesn't dare to be a master, we just rely on craftsmanship in this industry to eat. But I thought to myself, since Mr. Ma was so eager to see us, it meant that he was really scared that day.

Then Director Wang drove us to Mr. Ma's house. As a veteran teacher, Mr. Ma's home is really not luxurious, although he lives in a convenient area, the house is a house from the 90s. As soon as you enter the door, you will see two large characters hanging on the wall, the one on the left reads "Shangwen Heavy Education", and the right side reads "Teach students with virtue". The fonts are all in the kind of splashed ink cursive style, but I don't know whether these words are advertised by Mr. Ma himself or given by others. The door was opened by Mr. Ma's wife, who only had a son in his 30s, and his son is currently attending university in other places. Mr. Ma's wife is also a teacher, but she is not from the same school, and when we said hello and entered the door, Mr. Ma was sitting on the sofa under the two letters, with a towel quilt on her lap, looking rather unrefreshed and watching TV.

Director Wang stepped forward to introduce the two of us, and Mr. Ma wanted to stand up and shake hands with us, but Hu Zongren asked him to sit and rest quietly. He and I both know that some people have never seen a ghost in their lives, or they have seen it and have not realized it, but once the concept of a ghost appears very firmly in real life, most people will be strongly impacted by it, let alone a person like Mr. Ma who has studied science all his life? If it were normal, maybe people like Mr. Ma would not look at me and Hu Zongren at all, but at this moment, although he is weak, he seems so urgent.

After Hu Zongren and I sat down, we asked Mr. Ma to tell us all the things that scared me that day. Teacher Ma said that on the day of the invigilation, he heard a sound, and soon realized that the sound was coming from the storage room behind the classroom door, at first he thought it was a mouse, in order not to affect the order of the exam, or to distract the students. Teacher Ma told us that because there are many girls in the class, they don't like animals like rats very much. Hu Zongren said with a smile, there are a lot of girls, and they all look good, ha... Before he could laugh, he noticed the way I stared at him, and quickly restrained himself. Mr. Ma probably didn't notice what Hu Zongren said, and he continued to say that he himself was not afraid of mice, so until the moment he opened the door, he always believed that it was mice. But who knows, after opening the door, he found that in the opposite corner of where he was standing, that is, in the darkest corner of the storage room, there was a girl wearing a school sports uniform, with her feet together and on tiptoe, her hands hanging down at her sides, and her head still hidden in the dark, unable to see clearly. Teacher Ma said that at that time, he thought that a classmate from another class was deliberately hiding inside, and when he was about to ask her, the girl's head stuck out from the shadows, and it was at this time that Teacher Ma saw its facial features clearly.

Mr. Ma held a white porcelain teacup in both hands, and his hands trembled slightly and took a sip. It was like struggling to remember the original scene. He said that the girl's head was sticking out of the darkness to reflect the evening lights in the classroom, and he stood very close and saw the girl's face very clearly. How to describe it, it wasn't until the head came out that he found that the whole person of the girl in front of him was translucent. He said that it was not very faint, but it was like looking at people through a side of glass, but his own reflection on the glass became the darkness in the dark corner of the storage room. And the girl's face is the most terrifying, because the left half of her face is distorted, there is blood oozing out of her eyes and nostrils, and the corners of her mouth, and the left and right sides of her face are very asymmetrical, as if they are misplaced. The hair on the top of his head also seemed to have been torn off, and Mr. Ma emphasized to us that it was the feeling of tearing off his scalp, and he could almost see the flesh on the skull from the bloody inside. The entire right half of the girl's face is not strange at all, in addition to the whiter face and red lips, there is also a small beauty mole on the right side of the face. And there is no very obvious boundary between the left and right faces, and the whole person is there, which looks particularly terrifying.

Teacher Ma twitched, as if he suddenly took a breath of cool air, and then said, This is not the most terrifying, although at that time he was already too scared to move, that is, it was a matter of a short moment, and then, the girl suddenly clicked at a very strange forty-five degree angle and crooked her neck and laughed. Teacher Ma said that when she bent her neck, it was as if her neck had been broken, and when she smiled, the blood on her face began to flow everywhere along her face, and all of a sudden, the nerve in Mr. Ma's brain was broken, and he felt as if his temples had been strongly impacted by something, so he couldn't stand on his feet and fell to the ground.

Mr. Ma said a little excitedly that he was not in good health, had low blood sugar, and often had to supplement sugar on weekdays, otherwise he would easily have the risk of fainting. So this is not the first time he has fainted in this life, and in the past, he would be completely unconscious immediately after fainting, but this time, in a few seconds after he fainted, he saw very clearly that the girl stretched out her hands and feet and moved stiffly from side to side to walk to him, and then put her head less than an inch away from his face, so the last frozen picture before he completely lost consciousness was the face of the girl with full eyes.

When he said this, Mr. Ma didn't continue to speak, but drank tea one by one. Before, when we entered the house, Mr. Ma specially muted the volume of the TV, so at this moment, in addition to the light of the TV reflected on the wall of my room and Mr. Ma's body, we heard the ticking sound of the old wall clock in our ears.

I couldn't help but ask Mr. Ma, when you opened the door and found someone inside, didn't you notice that there was anything wrong with this? Mr. Ma said that at first it was just very strange, for what was the storage room was originally small but there was a person hidden, and he didn't think about it at all, before that, he had heard countless ghost stories, but he just listened to the story and never took it seriously. I have never recognized the existence of ghosts at all, so for a while, it is difficult to think of it. He told me that at first, he thought that other students were deliberately hiding inside to give ideas to the students who were taking exams to cheat. Director Wang said that because it is a vocational middle school, the knowledge level of students is still a little insufficient compared with many ordinary high schools, and cheating will inevitably happen whenever this school encounters exams.

I nodded, because I was a person who was very good at cheating since I was a child. Sometimes cheating is not even to get a high score, but to fight wits with the invigilator, a kind of thief and detective, to achieve a stimulating purpose. So from that point of view, I'm still quite perverted.

Hu Zongren took the conversation, and then asked Teacher Ma, what kind of sports school uniform did you say that the female student was wearing a sports school uniform? Is it from your school? Teacher Ma frowned and said to Hu Zongren, isn't it because of this that it is terrible? This sports uniform is our school uniform, but the style of this uniform has been around for many years, and since 2000, it has been replaced. I asked Mr. Ma, what kind of school uniform is it? Teacher Ma said that in the 90s, many schools would choose the kind of student uniform, with the school emblem printed on the chest, cotton texture, and a set of clothes and pants.

I remembered that I also wore this kind of school uniform when I was a child. Our school uniform at the time was dark blue and white for boys and red and white for girls. I still have one at home, but it was worn by my mom when she asked her to clean up in the early years. Although this style is really earthy in retrospect, it was a must-have for every student at the time, and even after wearing that school uniform, it was worth showing off to have a pair of white travel shoes among classmates. And because I'm a bit naughty, the school uniform has become a symbol that distinguishes us from every school in the neighborhood, and sometimes we get into a fight on the street, maybe for some reason, but just because the person is wearing another school's uniform.

Teacher Ma said, that school uniform, if I remember correctly, is it the batch of 95 or 96 customized, and now we can't even find one in our school. Hu Zongren asked, then how can you be sure that it is your school's uniform? Teacher Ma said a little anxiously, because of the school emblem on my chest, I have been working in this school for decades, I still don't recognize this? I couldn't be mistaken, it's our school uniform!

Mr. Ma said it so definitely that we can hardly doubt it. So this inevitably raises another question, since it is a female ghost, wearing a student school uniform, and an old-fashioned school uniform, does this mean that the time of this female ghost's death is many years ago? And he was wearing this school uniform when he died. Moreover, the girl's facial features are distorted, bleeding from seven holes, and her neck is broken, will these phenomena be her death? So what could cause such a death?

Car accident.

Thinking of this, I was going to analyze the results I considered for you, but Hu Zongren took the lead and asked Teacher Ma and Director Wang, "In the past ten years, have there been any accidents in your school where students have been hit by cars and died?"
