Volume 1 Origin of the Forty-second Origin of the Secret in the Toilet
Tang Yuanyuan and his entourage cautiously walked up the corridor, looking for the cry that kept echoing in her ears alone.
At night, the echo in the empty corridors of the campus was particularly harsh, and even if she slowed her steps as lightly as possible, her footsteps seemed to be infinitely amplified in the silence.
And every time the footsteps fell to the wall and turned back, they came back to her ears as if there were countless shadows chasing after her, making a chaotic sound of footsteps, and each echo sounded in her ears as if it were tapping on her already tense nerves.
But no matter how Tang Yuanyuan turned around, she couldn't see what was chasing after her, and Yi Huai and Xun also said that there was no ghost aura in their vicinity, and such a beginning couldn't help but make her feel that she underestimated the strangeness of her opponent this time.
It wasn't until they crossed the hallway to the next floor that the chaotic footsteps that had been chasing her quietly disappeared.
But when she instinctively looked back to make sure there was nothing behind her, she saw a row of blood-colored footprints behind her.
The row of footprints was very small, like a newborn baby, but each blood mark was brightly colored under the light of the flashlight, as if the child had trampled in the blood and stained the entire soles of his feet, and then vigorously imprinted on the ground.
And those blood-colored footprints almost all appeared behind Tang Yuanyuan's heels, which means that if the other party was really behind her, then they were almost moving forward against her legs.
Seeing such a scene, Tang Yuanyuan couldn't help frowning, her face changed slightly, but her eyes didn't stay on those footprints, but turned around again and raised her head, took a deep breath, and her gaze fell back to the direction of the bathroom.
"There is no cold in the body just now, it should be a prank by the little ghost to attract attention, at least I can roughly determine that these tricks are from the ghost baby."
Yi Huai was a little surprised to hear her whisper, he stood beside her and kept paying attention to her reaction, but he didn't expect her to be calmer than he thought.
Under normal circumstances, humans of her age are basically suspicious when they encounter a little strange thing, not to mention being scared half to death, they will basically mess up, and Tang Yuanyuan can analyze it so indifferently even if the ghost finds his head, I have to say that he is worthy of being a person who can survive so many years of ghost harassment.
"We approached the bathroom, but the crying was getting quieter... It could be a trap it was ambushing, or it could be a guide to the way..."
Tang Yuanyuan said so softly that she took another step forward, and walked into the public bathroom with the flashlight in her hand around the corner, and the blood-colored footprints behind her were still appearing all the way, but she didn't look back, but followed the direction of the cry and walked into the women's toilet with Yi Huai and Xun.
The baby's cry that had been echoing in her ears for guidance stopped abruptly the moment she stepped into the women's bathroom, and was replaced by a strong fishy smell that came from the toilet for some reason.
The pungent fishy smell seemed to be the smell of blood, so strong that it seemed to stink, but she turned on the flashlight and circled the toilet but couldn't find enough blood to emit such a strong smell.
Everything in the women's toilet looks the same, the gray-white tiles on all sides reflect the light under the flashlight, the school toilets are always cleaned regularly every day, and the floor without any extra supplies proves that this is also the case.
Tang Yuanyuan swept around and confirmed that there was no abnormality in the periphery, so he shone the flashlight at the door of the cubicle where the toilet was hidden.
"I don't like this feeling of opening a blind box and hitting a ghost the most...."
She sighed lightly, stood in front of the first hidden door and hesitated for a moment, but just as she was ready to push the door after her psychological construction, Yi Huai suddenly said:
"I'll do it."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and pushed open the door of the first hidden cubicle, and the toilet cubicle was normal, with no unwanted blood as expected.
He glanced at the room, then quickly turned around and pushed open the next room.
The door of the cubicle in the women's toilet was pushed open one by one, but the source of the smell of blood that permeated the toilet did not appear until Yi Huai walked around and finally stopped at the last toilet in the corner of the entrance.
The door of the compartment in this corner was labeled with the words "forbidden to use" on white paper, and the door was not as empty as the other compartments but closed, but its door was the cleanest of all the compartments, and there was no sign of any stains at all, so Yi Huai did not take the lead in pushing this door at first.
Because everything in this toilet seems to have been ruled out, and only this door that has not been opened is left, and if there is any secret in this toilet, then it is only possible to hide it here.
So when they faced this door, they couldn't help but enter the peak of vigilance, Yi Huai turned around and signaled Tang Yuanyuan to retreat, and Xun, who had been lying on her shoulder, also arched her back at this time and made a gesture of preparing to attack.
Then Yi Huai stretched out his hand as before, but failed to push the door open.
Seeing this, he frowned and tried again, but the only sound in the toilet was the shaking of the cubicle door.
The last compartment could not be opened.
Tang Yuanyuan was already mentally prepared to see the terrifying scene, but this situation was a bit unexpected to her.
"Strange... This cubicle in schools is generally designed as a bidet toilet for people with disabilities.... Very few people will use this... So most of the time it's used as a utility room where cleaning tools are stacked... Why can't it be opened? ”
She whispered like this, looking at the compartment door, there was a guess in her heart, and then she took a few steps forward and spoke to Yi Huai:
"Let me try."
She reached out and touched the door of the cubicle, but before she could exert any strength, something strange suddenly happened.
The door of the compartment suddenly began to shake violently, constantly making strange noises, as if countless hands were frantically banging on the door of the compartment that could not be opened, and the sound of dense slapping continued one after another, as if the dying man was trying his best to slap open the cage that was about to kill him.
Even Tang Yuanyuan, who was already mentally prepared, was taken aback by this sudden change, she instinctively retreated and wanted to stay away from the door of the compartment, but in a hurry, she stumbled and almost fell, but fortunately, Yi Huai caught her from behind in time.
"Xie..." She looked up and didn't finish the word thanks, but she saw Yi Huai staring at the compartment door with a gloomy expression, a light of murderous intent appeared in her red eyes, and at the same time, Xun also began to let out an angry roar of teeth, ready to attack at any time in the face of that door.
At the moment when the door of the toilet cubicle moved, the temperature in the entire space plummeted, and the biting coolness filled the entire toilet in an instant, and the smell of blood that had existed at the beginning became stronger and stronger, as if this toilet was a cage soaked in blood.
"What a heavy ghost..."
Yi Huai spoke in such a low voice while straightening Tang Yuanyuan, who had an unstable center of gravity, and the blue spiritual fire that had been following him behind him also began to beat violently.
The door that had been shaking violently was still slamming one after another, and even more and more densely, as if there was food in front of them, as if it would break through the door and burst out of it at any moment.
He pulled Tang Yuanyuan behind him, raised his hand with a gloomy face and manipulated the spiritual fire on his side to split, and then pressed his palm and waved at the shaking compartment door, and the split spiritual fire suddenly spun like a fireball and rushed towards the door, and for a moment exploded on the surface with blue sparks!
Then the exploding spiritual fires gathered again, and the entire compartment door attached to it began to burn violently, and the door that was constantly being slapped suddenly began to twitch violently, and in addition to the sound of impact, there was a wail like a cry.
It wasn't until the flame burned on the door for a while that the clapping and crying from behind the door gradually diminished until it disappeared, and the cold aura in the toilet began to fade rapidly.
Tang Yuanyuan watched the flames on the door gradually subside, and for some reason suddenly had a feeling that something had escaped from this toilet, she frowned and looked behind her, wanting to dispel her strange feeling, but her eyes were suddenly stunned when she fell on the entrance behind her.
She had inadvertently glanced back, but happened to see a figure standing in the hallway outside the entrance to the toilet.
The figure stood in the shadows in the dark of the aisle, Tang Yuanyuan couldn't see the other party's face clearly, but she could clearly recognize the other party as the boy who appeared in the video!
And the only thing that could really see the boy in the field of vision of her eyes was the red right eye in her heterochromatic eyes, and the shadow of the corridor in the field of vision of the left eye was empty.
She recovered from the brief shock, and just wanted to open her mouth to inform Yi Huai in front of her that "he appeared", but she saw the boy standing in place and raising his index finger to his mouth.
The boy's behavior seemed to be telling her not to speak, but for some reason, Tang Yuanyuan couldn't see the other party's face clearly in the dark, but he felt that he was smiling at himself.
Because of the other party's reaction, the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat like this, and it wasn't until the boy waved at her and disappeared in place that she frowned and looked back into her palm.
"Does he know me....?"
She had no reason to feel this in her heart, and involuntarily muttered to herself, which could not escape the ears of Xun lying on her shoulder, and it squinted and asked:
"Who?"
“.... I just walked outside and saw the boy in the video. ”
Tang Yuanyuan replied truthfully and shook his head slightly: "He gave me a very strange sense of familiarity..."
Yi Huai, who was standing in front of her, also heard the conversation between her and Huan, and looked back at her for a short time, wanting to say something but couldn't say it, but was preempted by Huan:
"Don't believe the feeling that the ghost gives you, I didn't feel anything outside just now, but you saw him, that kid may be even more evil than we thought."
"Many ghosts are demagogic, and the so-called familiarity may be the illusion he deliberately creates for you.... Thankfully, you didn't run out alone. ”
Tang Yuanyuan laughed when he heard its words:
“... I'm not going to do that kind of scattering of heads... I understand what you're saying.... But he really didn't give me the impression that it was a simple demagoguery... I don't understand, I had this familiarity in my memories before, but it wasn't as strong as when I met him this time..."
"And I don't know why..."
Her words came to an abrupt halt at this point, and after thinking about it, she still didn't say the following words "I think his breath is somewhat similar to Yi Huai" and "I don't think he may hurt me".
Seeing that she hadn't finished speaking, Xun couldn't help asking, "Don't know what?" ”
Tang Yuanyuan only shook his head and changed the topic: "No, it's nothing, it's not important." Compared to that, has the ghost in this toilet been eliminated? ”
As she spoke, her gaze fell back on the door of the cubicle, just in time to see the last trace of the soul-burning spiritual fire dissipate, and the next moment there was a sudden sound in the quiet toilet, which sounded like the lock of the cubicle door had suddenly been opened from the inside.
Then the door to the compartment creaked open on its own, revealing the eerie full picture of the compartment.
