Volume 1 The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemies of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 148 Ghosts and Lamps

"Sure enough......" Alan blurted out as soon as he heard Professor Watson's words.

"What really?" asked Riel curiously.

"Hmm...... Actually, I also think the weather is a little wrong today......" Allen said, "It started to snow in the middle of October, don't you think it's a little too early?"

"Uh......" Riel was a little confused, the snow just made him feel fresh, but he didn't know exactly how much month it would snow in Krivari.

"Before I came here, I made up for my knowledge of the geography of Crivari...... Although the coldest time here is from late December to early March, the only months that snow is common are January and February...... "Alan thoughtfully said, "The first snow is three months early, which is too early...... And ......"

"Oh, we can't always be full of strange things around us, I think you're an old mistake again, and you feel suspicious when you look at everything. Riel interrupted him, saying, "It's a good thing to snow! How interesting! At least not like Beya, it only rains all year round, and there is no new trick." ”

"Hmm...... Probably......" Alan didn't refute anymore, nodded and said, "I hope I'm thinking too much......"

With that, the three of them walked out of the ward together.

Alan and Riel say goodbye to Professor Watson and prepare to go back to their room. Alan was ready to brush up on what he had learned a while ago, and he didn't feel like he was paying much attention to the lecture because he had been worrying about Alyssa's condition. Riel prepares to continue building his unfinished snowman on the balcony.

However, as soon as they walked out of the room, Riel's eyes were better, and at a glance, he saw that someone in the opposite ward was staring at them with his head leaning out, but the moment the two of them looked at each other, the person immediately retracted his head.

"Who!?" asked Riel.

"What's wrong?" asked Allen.

"Someone in that room is peeking at us!" Rare gestured to the room opposite him, to the left-hand side.

"That?" Professor Watson was a little puzzled, "I remember there was only one person in the room opposite." ”

By this time, Rare had already rushed over and pushed open the door, only to find a little boy about their age burrowing into the bed, looking like he was about to pretend to be asleep.

"Oh...... Isn't this Tony Richie, who got food poisoning from eating poison berries?" Probably because his freckles were so characteristic that Professor Watson recognized him at a glance, "Didn't I inform you that you were discharged from the hospital three days ago and let you go back to class? Why are you still here?"

"Uh...... I ......," Tony said hesitantly, nervously looking at Alan and then at Riel, "I'm still a little uncomfortable, so I took a few more days off......"

"He was a patient who had been here since last week, and he stumbled upon a wild poisonous berry in the Four Seasons Garden and ate it as a strawberry...... Fortunately, he was not stupid, he just felt a stomachache and ran here, otherwise he might be lying in the tree of life by now. Professor Watson told them.

"Hmph, I think you just don't want to go to class, so you found a reason to hide here!" Riel took a few more steps forward and asked, "Say, why did you just spy on us!?"

"Wow, you, don't come here......" Tony screamed nervously as he saw Riel walking forward, trying to step back, but there was a wall behind him, "uh...... I'll leave today...... Wait, wait, go!"

"Did something happen?" Alan saw that something was wrong with him and asked, "...... What scares you?"

"Uh-huh...... Nope!" Tony said incoherently, nodding and shaking his head.

"You can say it. Alan said with a frown.

"It's okay, it's okay, please go back! I'll pack up and leave!" said Tony, jumping off his sand and starting to pack up what he had brought with him.

However, Riel was more energetic, and the more he looked at his behavior, the more suspicious he felt, and he stepped forward and grabbed his wrist: "Let me tell you, if Professor Tubone knows about this kind of behavior, you will be deducted more than 100 points! If you don't make it clear, I'll report you!"

"Ahhh......h

"Okay, then give you five minutes, if you can't tell...... You know the consequences!" Riel said pretentiously.

"Yes, yes!" Tony nodded repeatedly, but still looked a little hesitant, "Uh...... But ......"

"But what?" asked Riel.

"But...... Well...... Can you tell me which of you two lives in the ward diagonally across from you?" asked Tony cautiously.

"Us?" Riel wondered, "Neither of us lives there, why are you asking this?"

"Oh...... Oh......" Tony breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Then I'll be relieved......"

"Don't be prospering, hurry up!" Riel urged, a little impatient by him.

"Uh...... That is true...... The ward ......," Tony swallowed, "the ward has been haunted lately......!

"!" Riel immediately became angry when he heard this, "What a haunting! How can that ward be haunted!"

"Really, believe me, what I said is true!" Tony said quickly, "It's been two days in a row!"

"That's!" Riel turned to leave, "I'm going to go to Professor Stubone and report you for pretending to be sick and skipping class!"

However, Alan stopped him, because looking at Tony's expression, he didn't seem to be lying.

"Can you tell me what you've seen?" asked Allen, "why would you insist it's haunted?"

"You—You're believing me, aren't you!?" Tony quickly turned his gaze to Allen when he heard him ask.

"Hmm...... You have to get the situation clear before we can tell if what you're saying is true. ”

"Okay, okay, let me think about it......" Tony saw that there was still hope, so he frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Hmm...... That is true...... That was the night before yesterday...... I drank too much water before going to bed that night, so I woke up around midnight with urine and remembered to go to the bathroom. But as soon as I opened the door a crack, I saw from a distance what looked like someone was coming this way with a lamp...... At first I thought it was someone like me who was going to the bathroom, but strangely, this person didn't make a sound when he walked! I thought it was a little weird, so I wanted to wait for him to get closer and take a look, but I didn't expect the light to stop in front of the door of the ward you came out of......

"That's! Who walks without footsteps?!" Riel was a little impatient when he heard this, and wanted to go out again, "I think you're just making up stories here to keep us from accusing you!"

"Really, what I said is true!" Tony said quickly.

"Have you looked carefully?" asked Allen, "Are you sure it's the ward we just came out of?"

"Pretty sure!" Tony nodded vigorously, "That ward is only a few steps away from here, I can't be mistaken!"

"Hmm......" Alan said, frowning, "and then?"

And then ...... The door opened suddenly!" Tony said as he reflected on the scene, even sweating, "I can't see anything clearly because the light of that lamp is dim and it's not the magic lamp we usually use...... I can only vaguely feel that he is a tall and thin person dressed in black, or a ghost......"

"! Almost everyone in this school is dressed in black!" said Riel.

"Uh......" Tony looked at them a little embarrassed.

"And then?" asked Allen.

"Then I saw the lamp float in, and it took a long, long time before it came out......"

"How long?" Riel still didn't believe it.

"Uh...... I don't know about that...... Tony said, wiping the sweat from his forehead, "I just know that the light doesn't flicker as it moves, and it doesn't make any sound...... It's not a ghost what it is......"

"Ho, you've been holding your urine for so long, waiting for him to come out, it's really hard for you!" said Riel.

"This ...... I...... Don't dare go out......" Tony cried, "I've never encountered such a horrible thing when I'm so old...... I'd like to believe that there is no such thing as ghosts, but how can that lamp be explained......

"How else can you explain it...... The only explanation is that you made it all up. Riel said.

"Really! please trust me!" Tony almost began to beg Riel to believe, "not just the night before, it was the same last night, the same thing happened at the same time......

However, when Alan heard this, he suddenly asked, "The lamp ...... What does it look like?"

"Uh...... This one...... I don't know how to describe it......" Tony scratched his head, "I've never seen a lamp of this shape...... Belch...... Let's put it this way, we are all familiar with the magic lamp, its lamp base can be very tall or very short, there are many shapes, but the glowing part is round, like a ball...... But this lamp is boxy, with several edges, and it glows throughout......"

Alan was shocked when he heard this description, and quickly asked, "Then what color does it emit glow from!?"

"Uh...... I was about to say that...... "Tony scratched his head, "and it glowed very strangely, it was blue...... ...... still flickering and flickering"

"Teal!" Alan exclaimed when he heard the word.

"What's wrong?" asked Riel.

"I've seen this lamp ......"

"What?" Rare was startled.

I saw Allen's brows tightened, and he lowered his head and thought for a long time before saying, "The lamp he described...... It's exactly the same as the one on Professor Frost's desk!"
