Chapter 5, The Release of the Vengeful Spirits

I turned my gaze towards him and softly asked, "Tell me, what exactly happened back then"

However, it was discovered that the boiler room was already empty, with even the bedding rolls missing

At that moment, a teacher suddenly said: "Old Chen just left this morning, it is said that he has returned to his hometown. He has worked at the school for half a lifetime, it is time for him to take a break"

So I hurriedly asked around, wanting to know where Old Chen had actually gone. But no one knew.

Just as I was searching around, the sound of ticket checking suddenly rang out, and I turned my head sharply. I saw a group of people checking tickets, with Old Chen at the front.

"There is nothing at all, I did not see those things," I said

Upon hearing the news, I had no time to think further and rushed out of the school

As I was leaving, I happened to see a shadow passing by, someone was watching me

Although I have unraveled one mystery, I have fallen into another mystery.

I took this white piece of paper, and at that moment, Old Chen seized the opportunity to grab his luggage and rushed into the train.

"What about her neck? Is she wearing a collar?" Old Chen asked again, his eyes filled with anticipation

No wonder, this could be troublesome

You can rest assured, I will not speak of it

After I finished reading, my expression suddenly froze, and I was unable to speak for a long time

"Who says she cannot? I saw her kill someone with my own eyes," I said solemnly

"This is impossible, absolutely impossible," Old Chen shook his head, as if his thoughts were in disarray. After a while, he looked at me and said, "Since you claim to have seen her, why not describe what she looks like to me?"

You promised that, under no circumstances, this matter must be disclosed

There is no doubt that someone is manipulating the homeroom teacher to act in this manner

In this regard, Han Qianqian is no longer an ordinary ghost; she has become a vengeful spirit

Returning to the classroom, I find my heart unable to calm for a long time

In the past few days, you should tidy up and prepare to leave. You are getting old and it is time to return to your hometown. The school will provide you with a pension

However, the more they do this, the more resolute I become in my determination to investigate further, no matter what.

Indeed, within a few days, all the long-serving staff at the school have disappeared

After I arrived at the train station, I searched around the waiting hall but found nothing

I nodded and described what I had seen. When Old Chen heard about the woman in a school uniform holding a dagger, he collapsed onto the ground, his face revealing a profound fear

Ah. Old Chen shook his head, and he trembled as he took a piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it to me, saying: "This is for you, let me go."

By the time I realized, he was already nowhere to be found

"It's nothing." I shook my head, directing my gaze towards the homeroom teacher. Suddenly, something came to my mind

It was only then that I realized something was amiss. I went to find Old Chen, and he stared at me blankly, not saying a word

In the course of my investigation these days, I have discovered that someone is deliberately trying to cover something up. The truth from five years ago seems to be a secret. The more I investigate, the greater the resistance I encounter.

I hurried back to find Old Chen. When he noticed my arrival, his expression darkened. I quickly handed him a cigarette, which he took and lit. After exhaling a puff of smoke, he gritted his teeth and said, "Are you trying to drive me to my death?"

I must know the truth I said earnestly

After a while, he seemed to think of something, took my hand, and asked, "Have you been to the abandoned school?"

However, the blank paper that Old Chen handed to me, although it informed me of what happened afterward, never mentioned one person, that is, the scumbag who deceived Han Qianqian's feelings. To this day, I still do not know whether he is alive or dead

At that moment, I suddenly thought of something

When I think of it, I vaguely understand what Old Chen meant by the coffin

I understand. Old Chen's tone seems rather dejected

I do not want to do this, but I truly have no other choice. I looked at him with pleading eyes and said helplessly

He muttered to himself: "Here she comes again, here to harm people once more"

I pulled my luggage, my gaze fixed on Old Chen, and cried out in desperation: "Please, tell me."

In this school, there are individuals who are unwilling to allow me to continue my in-depth investigation

I left silently, returned to the classroom, and rested my head on the desk, contemplating what to do next

This is impossible. Even if she really has become that thing, it should be fine. It has been five years; she cannot possibly come out. Old Chen's face was filled with confusion as he murmured to himself, his expression full of contemplation

After thinking for half a day, I still couldn't come up with anything. However, judging by Old Chen's panicked demeanor, it seems that a significant event has occurred

The next day, I arrived at school early in the morning, wanting to find Old Chen and ask for clarification

"This is impossible, absolutely impossible!" Old Chen shook his head, his face full of disbelief. After a while, he looked at me and cautiously asked, "Did you see a dark green bracelet on her arm?"

"No, she is not wearing any bracelets on her two hands," I shook my head and said, looking at her.

After standing in a daze for half a day, I put the blank paper into my pocket and left the station with a terrified expression

This white paper states: 'After Han Qianqian's suicide, a haunting incident occurred, resulting in the deaths of thirty-seven teachers and students within a single day! All thirty-seven individuals died under mysterious circumstances, their bodies riddled with wounds, a sight too horrific to behold'

I was taken aback for a moment and suddenly said: "I have seen Han Qianqian."

Old Chen nodded, his gaze filled with immense fear. After a while, he finally spoke: "If that is the case, then you must absolutely not go to the abandoned school. Something big is going to happen, something of great importance!"

The matter of vengeful spirits seeking retribution has occasionally been mentioned. However, to have thirty-seven people die in a single day is truly shocking

I have heard that the school is going to dismiss many people recently, but I am not sure about the situation

Old Chen saw me, picked up the ticket in his hand, and was about to board the train. I held onto his luggage tightly, forcing Old Chen to drag along with me.

I squint my eyes, a layer of dark clouds enveloping my heart

Sighing, I turned and walked out of the station, sitting on a long bench in the waiting hall. I opened this blank sheet of paper

No wonder Old Chen has been unwilling to reveal the truth. I never expected that such a terrifying event had occurred back then

I took a taxi and headed straight for the train station. There is no doubt that Old Chen is about to leave

Thus, I left the school, and by the time I returned home, it was already late at night. I lay in bed, deep in thought, pondering the meaning of Old Chen's words.

The coffin is very large, covered with talisman paper, which is affixed all over. It is also tied with inked string and bells. "Old Chen inquired further.

Stop! I shouted urgently as I rushed out.

What should I do in the face of such fierce ghosts

What difference does knowing the truth make? This is a scandal at the school. At that time, it caused a huge uproar, but what does it have to do with you?" Old Chen looked at me and asked

Wu Yong suddenly nudged me and, looking at me, asked, "Liang Fan, what are you thinking? The homeroom teacher has been calling you for a long time."

"Even so, it is impossible, absolutely impossible." Old Chen's gaze turned towards me, his voice impatient as he said, "Don't try to deceive me. Even if she has truly become that thing, she cannot come out to harm anyone now."

He hurriedly ran out after speaking.

Immediately after, they exchanged a few more words, and then that person left

Just as I was about to leave, I happened to overhear two teachers whispering to each other

"What do you not want to do this for? You just want to force me," Old Chen said fiercely as he put down his cigarette, looking at me. "Things have finally calmed down with great difficulty, do you really want to stir things up? What good does this do for you?"

Now it is my turn to be impatient, I said: "Aside from her school uniform, she has only a dagger on her, and no jewelry at all"

I waited for him for half a day, but I did not see him return

The news of the school's lockdown was indeed this. Thirty-seven people died in one day, which gives an idea of the terrifying panic that engulfed the entire faculty and student body of the school.

Why has Han Qianqian appeared again? This is quite unusual. It has been five years since that incident. During these five years, the abandoned school has remained calm and quiet. Why did I encounter Han Qianqian when I went in? What twists and turns have occurred in between?

At that moment, the train police arrived and shouted at me: "What are you doing!"

I was taken aback and suddenly realized that Old Chen and the library must have already left the school

"Have you seen a coffin?" Old Chen asked eagerly

Old Chen's hand trembled slightly, causing his cigarette butt to fall to the ground. He looked at me, his expression unusually grim. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "It's impossible, you absolutely cannot see her. Because she has already ... ... "

In that moment, I was completely at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Why is he asking me these things

Every time I think of this, I feel a chill run down my spine. No wonder the entire school was forced to relocate back then; it was all due to Han Qianqian.

There is no coffin at all I shook my head

She is already dead, but I still saw her. I said, looking directly at Old Chen.

Yes, I have been there, I said

I found Old Chen again, but this time he avoided me. This made me vaguely aware that something was about to happen

I turned my head and looked at them. They immediately stopped their discussion and then left

That afternoon, the homeroom teacher called me to the office again and reprimanded me for my declining academic performance. In the end, she said with an impatient expression: "If your grades continue like this, I will have no choice but to call your parents and have you withdraw from school"

Old Master Qin has truly had a stroke of bad luck this time, as he was dismissed without any reason

A crumpled piece of white paper, with hasty writing in pencil. Yet I can vaguely discern the content of these words

It was only when I arrived at the communication room that I found a middle-aged man had already taken over. He informed me that Mr. Qin had retired. I wanted to inquire about his home address after retirement, but I was driven out by the middle-aged man

I secretly arrived at the back of the boiler room and, through the window, saw a figure talking to Old Chen.
