Chapter 0004: Is There a Ghost

Because you mentioned him, he once called you at midnight, shouting for you to come to the school playground to save him. At that time, your words happened to be similar to his experience, which gave him the illusion that you could foresee the future, and that is why he chose to call you

What happened? This building is a bit old, but it should not collapse.

That ... ...

Xiao Mo still thought that Huang Liang was worried that this was a dangerous building, and hurriedly explained awkwardly

Additionally, there is another matter I wonder if you are aware of

Xiao Mo stood by, rendered speechless, not out of shame, but rather because he did not know what to say.

Xiao Mo, wait for me

You may recall that two days ago you questioned him about the harassment calls, and he must have been extremely frustrated at that time. Later, for reasons unknown, he arrived at the school in the dead of night, and subsequently experienced a series of bewildering events, which he believed could not be resolved by the police; thus, he thought of you

At this moment, Xiao Mo also sat down, while Huang Liang suddenly fell silent, and the room became extremely quiet.

Before Xiao Mo could finish speaking, Huang Liang interrupted him and then said:

Xiao Mo actually does not like to bring people home, so he has never invited Huang Liang and the others. If it were not for Huang Liang suggesting today that he wanted to visit his home, it would probably have been postponed.

It is truly hard to believe that you would be interested in such books

When I first moved here, I was also taken aback by the environment, wondering why there would still be such barren land in this modern city

Huang Liang slightly nodded, but did not speak.

However, Huang Liang's words did not end there; he then said with a serious expression:

Emerging from the school building, Xiao Mo inexplicably found himself beneath the flagpole. Whether it was his illusion or his subconscious at play, he could still smell a strong scent of blood in this place. He raised his head, gazing at the blood-stained top, and an image of four people hanging from it immediately flashed through his mind

Xiao Mo let out a sound of acknowledgment, feeling an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart. He hoped that Huang Liang would not intervene in this matter. This included a desire to protect Huang Liang from danger, as well as a selfish inclination to seek balance within himself.

However, for some unknown reason, I received two phone calls two days ago! At that time, Youshan had not yet encountered any danger

Ting Youshan said to me, you mentioned that he called you in the middle of the night, crying out for help. However, he told me that the call was not made by him

You should be aware of the conflict I had with Youshan those two days

How could such a good person die in such an unclear manner? As a friend, how can I stand by and do nothing

Huang Liang's hand trembled as he held the drink, and he hurriedly asked:

Huang Liang followed Xiao Mo Dong as they turned this way and that, and before long, there was not a single person in sight. It was evident that this was Huang Liang's first time in this area, which made him appear quite astonished

We have arrived, let us go up

Who were you just talking to

At this moment, Huang Liang also asked Xiao Mo:

This time, the astonished person was Xiao Mo: "Why would you say that?"

Well, he is my classmate

Xiao Mo could no longer endure the oppressive atmosphere, so he hurriedly brought up another topic and said

I know

There he saw a tangle of iron wires, and he tried to pull on them, but he discovered that the wires had actually penetrated deep into the ground. He exerted all his strength but could not pull out even a fraction.

On the way back, Xiao Mo hesitated for a moment but still urged Huang Liang

As soon as I went upstairs, I saw my neighbor, Aunt Wang, coming down with a bag of trash. Upon seeing Xiao Mo, she smiled and asked:

It's fine, this mirror has been here since it was moved in, and I couldn't be bothered to move it.

Xiao Mo shivered slightly and instinctively took two steps back, yet his gaze did not waver. He faintly sensed that this flagpole was rather strange, as it was completely bare without a single iron wire. It is known that a flagpole is used for raising flags, and there should be many iron wires coiled around it; once a flag is hung and the reel is pulled, the flag can slowly ascend.

I did choose to stay, but the class leader said we should wait another day to see. He mentioned that tomorrow he would call those who stayed, and at that time, we would discuss the details of the investigation

I am also just looking at this out of boredom

Huang Liang's words echoed repeatedly in Xiao Mo's mind, and the more he thought about them, the more he felt they made sense, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

Xiao Mo turned around and saw Huang Liang running towards him. He had originally thought that Huang Liang had stayed in the classroom, so he was somewhat surprised to see him now

Huang Liang sighed as he finished speaking, fearing that Xiao Mo might misunderstand his intentions. At that moment, he suddenly changed his tone and said:

After that, Xiao Mo did not encounter any familiar faces and led Huang Liang back to his home

Later, I realized in the police station that the content of those three phone calls was all true, because Youshan called me a total of three times on the day he was murdered

The two continued walking, with almost no conversation along the way. Finally, after crossing a muddy dirt road, they saw the extremely old building.

Upon arriving outside the corridor, Xiao Mo raised his hand and pointed upwards, saying

Huang Liangbian curiously looked around while asking Xiao Mo:

I thought you had stayed behind

Do you know, that day I went to the police station to give a statement, and I discovered something very strange

Xiao Mo walked over with a smile, handing the drink in his hand to Huang Liang. After receiving the drink, Huang Liang returned to Xiao Mo's desk. Noticing that the desk was piled high with various horror books, Huang Liang swallowed hard and couldn't help but ask:

Huang Liang had not spoken for half a day, and the air in the room had become somewhat stagnant. Just as Xiao Mo was about to find a topic to discuss, Huang Liang spoke up first:

However, there is nothing on this flagpole; if it were not standing on the square platform, he would even doubt whether this is indeed a flagpole. Xiao Mo took two more steps forward and stood on the square platform beneath the flagpole, carefully examining its base.

Huang Liang's peculiar expression remained unchanged, yet he nodded and followed Xiao Mo up.

Huang Liang looked at Xiao Mo in confusion, clearly not understanding the meaning of this sentence. After observing this, Xiao Mo explained it in detail once again

Upon hearing this, a trace of self-reproach flashed across Xiao Mo's face as he nodded and said

After hearing this, Huang Liang felt a chill in the room, and instantly got goosebumps all over his body. This incident was indeed too bizarre. ... But it further confirmed his suspicion that Zhang Youshan's death was definitely not a simple homicide, but rather ... ! ... a vengeful spirit killing people ! ! !

At that time, Youshan was not lying; during those two days, he did not call me for help, but the one who made the call was him

If I am not mistaken, the reason You Shan is calling you must be that he believes you know something, perhaps there is a possibility of saving him

Aunt Wang smiled after hearing this, nodded in response to Huang Liang's gesture, and then went downstairs

Do you live here by yourself on weekdays? What about your uncle and aunt

The police have been unable to uncover the truth of this matter; what can you few possibly discover? Our class is permeated with an eerie atmosphere, and staying here any longer may lead to unforeseen consequences

Let us not speak of this matter any further, there is still some time before nightfall, I will just go to your house for a visit

Ah, Aunt Wang who lives next door to me

Upon seeing the astonishment on Huang Liang's face, Xiao Mo smiled and said

Good

Did you bring friends home today

I live alone, and my parents are abroad and rarely return to the country

What is the matter

Xiao Mo felt a sense of absurdity, realizing that he had developed an interest in an inanimate object. He shook his head and walked down from the square platform. He intended to leave quickly, but suddenly, a bright voice called out from behind him:

Huang Liang nodded slightly, and then he entered Xiao Mo's bedroom. As soon as he came in, the tall round mirror directly opposite the door caught his attention. Such a large mirror is not uncommon, but it is rare for the mirror to be positioned directly facing the door

Although I have not known Youshan for long, I still understand that fellow to some extent. Despite his penchant for being quirky, he is very genuine and has no ulterior motives whatsoever. In this day and age, a person like Youshan is rarer than a giant panda!

Such a large mirror stands opposite the door; aren't you afraid when you get up at night to use the restroom

On the day of Youshan's murder, he also called me, and the content of the call was no different from the previous two; he was shouting for help. At first, I thought it was a case of the boy who cried wolf, believing that the calls from Youshan a couple of days earlier were a prank, while the last one was genuine

Xiao Mo was about to go up when he heard Huang Liang, with a troubled expression, stammering:
