Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

The boy feigned authority and glared, as if the nonexistent power he held had been offended. He suddenly pushed the little lioness's shoulder, causing her to fall to the ground, and his despicable friends immediately burst into laughter.

Liao smiled, but before he could finish speaking, the ward door was kicked open with a loud "bang." He Lichun and Guo Li, their heads wrapped in thick bandages, burst in pushing Zhou Xiaomeng, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

These matters have exhausted the little lion, who wishes to transfer schools but has no excuse to do so, and can only endure day by day.

The response to her was the sound of footsteps, along with the surroundings that had turned pitch black, devoid of any light, reminiscent of that night’s game of corners, where a single sound of footsteps echoed in circles within the classroom

"First, tell me why you placed a chair here. Are you trying to block my way?" He disregarded the little lion's explanation and aggressively continued, "Don't think that just because you have that old man from the second year backing you up, you can be so arrogant. What is he even worth? You are nothing but trash!"

But all of this is merely an illusion, isn't it? For him, it is just a friendly gesture, a way to draw closer to him, but for her, it is the warmest and sweetest period of her life. In the end, however, she still has to let go

At that moment, her vision went dark, and she felt that all the beautiful things in life had vanished with her fall. Just then, a pair of large hands appeared before her, and she instinctively grasped them, being pulled up.

The result is obvious without needing to guess

The little lion was about to faint. Why did he say that? Was it because his mind was impaired, or was she experiencing a hallucination? It must be her problem; the bruise on her forehead was still there, and there must be a blood clot causing a short circuit in her brain

In her view, an ordinary girl like the little lioness is simply incomparable to her; what right does she have to monopolize the heart of the prince charming

Who are you talking to? Her?

So, what should we do? After a long while, she finally managed to ask a question

He stood behind the little lion with the camera in hand, encircling her in his arms, allowing her to be enveloped by his scent in an instant, causing her to feel no fear at all. She quietly leaned against him, looking down together. After the entire recording finished, the camera began to shake, then suddenly tilted downward, as if Zhou Xiaomeng had set the device down but forgotten to turn it off.

She was a student here many years ago. Later, during the Cultural Revolution, her parents were implicated, and she committed suicide by lying on the railway tracks after school. She was run over by a speeding train, leaving only her two calves intact. Therefore, her lingering spirit appears in the form of two feet. Because she strongly yearned for her school life, your games attracted her, and coincidentally, a train appeared at that moment. All these stimuli intensified her spirit, prompting her to 'come out.' She wandered in the corners of the school, sitting in class with you. When someone bullied you, she recalled her own past. If a train were to pass by at that moment, her power would increase, leading her to seek revenge. When I explained to her that the world had changed and her nostalgia was meaningless, she left.

At that moment, a loud crashing sound came from the darkness, and then the little lion on the ground saw a pair of long legs rushing in. This pair of legs was recognized by all the girls in the school; it could run incredibly fast, faster than the wind

The little lion stood up angrily, wanting to jump up and argue with him. But at that moment, the boy suddenly changed his expression. Usually, his skin was very pale, but at this moment, it was even whiter, devoid of any color, and even his lips turned blue. He extended his finger, pointing behind the little lion, trembling as he stepped back, as if there were something behind the little lion.

Because

The most thrilling aspect of this game is that it is said to attract a certain entity. Since four people play the game, there are four corners of the wall, but one person is always moving, which means only three corners are occupied. When one reaches a corner that is unoccupied, they cough to indicate that the corner is empty. If there is a moment when no one coughs, it signifies that all four corners are occupied. At this point, if there is still one person moving...

She was startled by what she saw and instinctively took a step back. After retreating just two steps, she bumped into someone. Before she could scream, that person grasped her hand, and the familiar scent made her relax.

The chair returned once again to the little lion's desk. The little lion had become numb to it, seemingly accustomed to its presence, but the other classmates were still not used to it. In fact, one boy was tripped during the lunch break.

"What happened?" Leo asked with concern, noticing that something was amiss.

Now, by gaining a detailed understanding of the scene at that time, he gradually discerned a pattern: that thing would only appear after a train passed by the railway behind the campus. Initially, it only appeared at night, near the sports department, but later, it surprisingly began to appear during the day, even in the teaching building far from the playground. Moreover, she did not seem to want to harm the little lion; rather, she aimed to protect her. This is why that unreasonable boy ended up in such a predicament, though her methods of punishment were rather extreme.

A sharp cry pierced through the depths of the night, shattering the tranquility of midnight, followed by a train rumbling past the back playground of Guanghua High School

Unusual events occurred one after another, as if Leo were pursuing a young lioness. He suddenly became affectionate towards her, waiting for her in front of her house before school, and escorting her home after school. Even during lunch, they squeezed together, causing the young lioness to become the enemy of all the girls in the school

Liao hesitated for a moment and said: "I will start investigating the reason why this spirit has appeared tomorrow. You should not take any risks; just pretend you don't know anything. She—should not harm you for the time being"

"You are blushing again," Leo said with a half-smile, "I never expected someone as silly as you to be so shy."

"You are clearly being purposeful." The little lion fanned himself with a book, pretending that his flushed face was due to the heat, "You just refuse to tell me."

Are you alright? the little lion asked

***

The little lion did not ask questions, and the subtle pain in her heart gradually expanded to her entire body. She had known all along that it would be like this; she had known that he did not truly like her, but was approaching her with ulterior motives. So why was she still disappointed? Why did it feel as if her heart was about to break, leaving her feeling hollow as if all her strength had been drained away? When did she start to care about him? She had repeatedly reminded herself not to develop feelings for him, yet why could she still not control her heart? Unknowingly, like the gentle spring rain nourishing the earth, she had fallen for him.

Watching the blue and white volleyball disappear around the corner of the stairs leading to the basement, the little lion hesitated. However, seeing that there was no one around to help her and the bright sun still shone, she ultimately decided to retrieve the ball

This boy is tall and thin, fair-skinned, with big eyes. His clothing and hairstyle are very fashionable, and he is surrounded by several girls. Coupled with the fact that his parents are also coarse and boorish, he feels quite good about himself and has been domineering in class. In fact, to the little lion, his appearance is somewhat akin to that of a eunuch; his features are acceptable, but he is very effeminate, not at all comparable to Leo, and even less cute than the stray dogs on the street. At this moment, having accidentally tripped, he is pushing and shoving the little lion, showing not only a lack of reason but also a complete absence of basic male decorum.

Leo tilted his head to look at the little lion, seemingly hesitating whether to tell her the truth. In the end, he finally nodded. A surge of joy welled up in the little lion's heart, simply because he was willing to speak the truth, at least being honest with her. For this small gesture of sincerity, she felt that this brief moment was meaningful.

The sound of the ball bouncing began again, striking the little lion's heart with each thud. She was so frightened that she started to cry, hoping someone would come to help her. Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and sunlight poured in like a flood.

But it was too late. With the roar of the little lion, the chair lifted into the air, sweeping over and knocking Guo Li and He Lichun unconscious. It then fell to the ground, like a giant magnet, pulling the startled Zhou Xiaomeng onto the chair.

***

"You might think I am talking nonsense or that I am hallucinating," the little lion said, shaking his head in distress. "Besides, these days have been quite peaceful, except for that chair. I suspect it might be Zhou Xiaomeng's prank."

"Run away!" the little lioness screamed, for she saw that a red mark on the back of the chair had changed. It was originally the number 105, indicating Class 1-5, but at that moment, the 0 suddenly expanded, resembling a bloodied mouth grinning. Moreover, the legs of the chair had transformed into the severed feet of two girls.

"Walk quickly, or something will happen." She urged, "If you want to fix me, find another time. Right now, hurry up, or it will be too late."

She is just an ordinary girl, in terms of academics, appearance, and family background. She does not aspire to be a prominent figure in school; she only wishes to pass her high school life peacefully. Everything was going well until one day, being late turned her fate into a tragic one. In order to avoid being penalized with disciplinary points, she desperately rushed through the school's large iron gate just before it was about to close mercilessly in front of her. However, she forgot that her balance had always been poor, so as soon as she entered the school gate, she fell to the ground in front of everyone and rolled twice before finally coming to a stop.

However, she forgot that her balance had always been poor, so as soon as she entered the school gate, she fell to the ground in front of everyone and rolled twice before finally coming to a stop.

Amidst a chorus of gasps, the effeminate boy began to laugh softly, saying, "If a child is not taught, it is the father's fault. A bastard of a father raises a son who is unreasonable; it would be better if he were dead!" As he spoke, he jumped up at a speed incomprehensible to ordinary people and leaped directly out of the sixth-floor window. In just ten minutes, this father and son ended up one dead and the other severely injured, leaving the teachers and students who witnessed the entire scene utterly terrified

"I must correct you; what we are discussing is not the legendary ghost, but rather the phenomenon of souls, or the residual consciousness of the deceased during their lifetime," Leo said earnestly, shedding his usual languid demeanor and exuding a different kind of cool charm. "It possesses self-awareness, a sense of domain, a defensive mindset, and a reflex mechanism, as well as logical thinking and emotional capacity. However, it exists independently due to its separation from the physical body, which is an abnormal phenomenon, yet it can be reasonably explained. What we are encountering now is an exceptionally strong intention, which is why it is also reflected in our surroundings during the day. You must understand that the soul is formless and cannot be reflected into our eyes through electromagnetic waves; however, it can directly affect our brains. Therefore, we cannot see the appearance of 'ghosts,' while that boy who jumped from the building saw it and was unable to control his actions."

When the little lion woke up, it was already the next morning. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the handsome face of Leo. She wanted to speak, but his finger was pressed against her lips, as if she were kissing his hand, which instantly made her blush.

Who is she? Stop pretending to be mysterious! Zhou Xiaomeng's face turned pale for a moment as she recalled the incident of the jump from the building that day. Seeing the fear and anxiety in Little Lion's eyes, she couldn't help but feel a bit scared. That day, it was also because of a conflict with Little Lion that the boy became so terrifying.

All the students were terrified, and so was the little lion, as this boy shouted and pushed them out of the classroom. Some students hurried to call the teacher, but the boy had already locked the classroom door from the inside. He first slapped himself repeatedly, then began to bang his head against the wall with great force, as if someone were holding his head and smashing it against the wall. In the blink of an eye, the once pristine white wall was splattered with blood everywhere

"I told you, how could Leo possibly be interested in you? He just finds your embarrassment amusing and brought you along for some fun." For the past few days, she had been bothering the little lion, but the little lion endured it. Now that school was over, she had brought her two henchmen to block the little lion in the classroom, preventing her from leaving. Due to the upcoming exams, evening study sessions ended quite late, and it was now completely dark outside.

It is not because of his handsomeness, his intelligence, his family background, or his status that she likes him, but rather because of his thoughtful companionship, his unintentional tenderness, and his smallest acts of kindness. These make her feel that her ordinary self is so cherished and cared for, as if in his eyes, she is no longer an ordinary pebble, but more precious than a gem.

We need to talk," she said to Leo

The little lion did not know what to say, only avoiding eye contact. After a long while, he realized she was in the hospital and hurriedly inquired about the events of the previous day

My mother was engaged in the study of soul science before marrying my father. However, not long after, she met my father, and after marrying him, she devoted herself to family and gave up her research. Nevertheless, her interest was passed down to me, but unfortunately, I have never encountered anything strange throughout my life, nor have I had the opportunity to explore these phenomena. Originally, my goal after graduating from high school was to study psychology and then transition into this obscure and cutting-edge discipline. You must understand, this is not feudal superstition; it is an unknown science. If we can research the phenomena of the human soul, it would be akin to opening the gates of hell, allowing us to explain many unknown mysteries. " Leo spoke slowly, rationally and calmly, without a hint of excitement, while the elegant lines of his profile caused the little lion's heart to race once again.

The boy's home is relatively close to the school. After receiving an urgent call from the teacher, his father arrived at the school within a few minutes, and at that moment, the classroom door had already been burst open by the janitor. When the boy saw a group of people rushing in, he suddenly fainted. His father was terrified and hurried over to embrace him, but unexpectedly, the boy suddenly opened his eyes wide and violently gouged out his father's eyes with his hands

"Who is there?" she asked, trembling

She later discovered that the so-called knight who came to her rescue was actually a vile prince, and he helped her merely to mock her! She was furious and wanted to confront him, but he was always surrounded by a large group of infatuated girls, which obstructed her pursuit of justice, leaving her to silently seethe as she watched his tall and handsome figure.

The little lion looked around and saw that all the girls were gazing at her with a mix of surprise and jealousy, while the bottle of water was almost raised to the tip of her nose

She looked up and found that the boy was very tall, blocking the sunlight and making it difficult for her to see his face. She could only vaguely utter her name, which was so ordinary that one would forget it upon hearing it.

In the following days, Leo was very busy, and the little lion was left alone. The chair remained, but due to the incident involving the student who committed suicide, no one dared to sit in the spot where he had crashed into the wall. The classmates huddled together, so the chair was no longer next to the little lion, but rather lonely, thrown into the empty space at the back of the classroom. For some reason, the little lion felt a sense of sorrow and anger; it was merely a chair made of wood, yet it seemed as if a pair of eyes were constantly watching her, as if blaming her for abandoning it.

Suppressing the uneasy feeling within her, the little lion forced herself to act more normally, cooperating with Leo's investigation activities. However, at this moment, Zhou Xiaomeng came to provoke her again. Perhaps feeling that Leo was no longer the little lion's protector, Zhou Xiaomeng was both gloating and pleased. She had always pursued Leo, but not only had she never succeeded, she also allowed the little lion, whom she disliked the most, to gain the upper hand, which filled her with resentment

Do you think what I am experiencing is a phenomenon of the soul

I said it was not intentional, and I have already apologized to you. What more do you want! The little lion was furious, unable to understand how there could be such unreasonable people in the world, and even more perplexed as to whether such individuals could still be considered human.

The little lion took a deep breath, pushing back the mist that had welled up in her eyes, and said, "It's strange to hear you talk, as if you approached me to understand these oddities—you're not, are you?" She suddenly realized the implication of her words and looked at Leo in shock.

"That is because I have nothing to do. Do you think it's for the sake of getting into the top three in the municipal sports competition, which would give me extra points for the college entrance examination? Foolish one." Leo affectionately patted the little lion's head and laughed again

The little lion instinctively glanced at the chair, a wave of unease rising within. Zhou Xiaomeng thought the little lion was looking down on her and became very angry. She grabbed the little lion's chin, forcing her eyes to meet hers: "Who are you looking for? Do you really think Leo will come to save you? I can't stand girls like you who are so full of themselves, thinking he would actually be interested in you? Today, I am going to teach you a lesson to make you understand."

***

Oh my! Has Zhou Xiaomeng lost so much of her memory that she no longer remembers who she is? The little lion looked at Leo in surprise, while the latter remained silent, simply holding her hand

There is another very strange thing: recently, there has always been an extra chair in the classroom, and this chair does not appear anywhere else; it is always placed next to the little lion. Her seat is in the center of the classroom, and that chair is awkwardly positioned right next to her. No matter how many times she removes it, the next day, the chair will still be there, as if there is an invisible person who has been sitting beside her, going to school with her.

It took a while for the little lion to digest what Leo said, "What about Zhou Xiaomeng and the others?"

In light of such a significant incident, the school suspended classes for one day. The little lion was taken to Li Ao's luxurious home. They left hand in hand, and many classmates assumed they were going on a date, with envious and jealous glances shooting like arrows into the little lion's back, including the venomous arrows from Zhou Xiaomeng.

Is it really not a prank? Has a ghost truly been summoned? Does Zhou Xiaomeng know? What should we do now

The little lion looked in shock at all of this. Driven by an unknown force, she quietly circled around the panicked and chaotic teachers and students to gaze into the classroom. There, amidst the disarray, the peculiar chair that had always seemed strange stood up on its own, silently gliding over to the little lion's seat and coming to a steady stop.

No, no! There must be something wrong. Ever since that day of playing games, everything has felt off. Could it be that Leo has been possessed? The little lion, in a daze, thought of this and suddenly looked up to search for that tall and athletic figure, just in time to see him sweep by like the wind, winning the competition. The smile on his face made the sunlight lose its color. How could anything be abnormal?

But why was a bottle of water stuffed into her hand, why were countless murderous gazes fixed on her, and why did Wang Jia unhappily say: "So you had already made plans with Leo, and you didn't even tell me. What kind of friend is that!"

"Don't!" The little lion let out a sharp cry, not to stop Zhou Xiaomeng, but to halt the actions on the chair. Ever since Zhou Xiaomeng had cornered her, the chair had begun to move slowly again, and in two minutes, a train would pass by. This was the conclusion she had drawn from her experiences over the past few days. The last time that boy jumped off the building, the train had only passed during the day, but now it was nighttime. Leo had mentioned that the thermal magnetic field is weaker at night, making that thing even more powerful.

No! The little lion was almost pleading, as danger drew ever closer. Ignoring Leo's advice to feign ignorance, she exclaimed, "Something really will happen. Do you remember the boy who jumped? She will kill you, she really will kill you. Hurry and escape!"

But why is it that, apart from her, no one else can see or hear? Why does Zhou Xiaomeng not react at all? Could it be that "she" has truly blocked the transmission of these physical phenomena to the brains of others?

In the classroom, it was dark and silent, seemingly completely isolated from the outside world. On the floor, the blood from He Lichun and Guo Li flowed in a winding manner, the thick red liquid gathering beneath the chair like a snake. At the same time, Zhou Xiaomeng screamed in agony, her face growing paler; the chair appeared to be absorbing her blood, gradually changing from yellow to red.

"Why?" the little lion asked curiously, his heart beginning to race again. It was not because Leo's eyes penetrated so deeply into her soul, but because this was their first serious conversation since they began their "relationship," which signified a closeness of their hearts.

"Who are you? Why are you bothering Leo?" Zhou Xiaomeng shouted angrily

The game is played as follows: in a rectangular empty room at midnight, all lights are turned off. Then, four people are selected to stand in the four corners of the room, with one person at each corner, facing the wall. Once in position, they should not look back.

You must understand that we do not have absolute control over the existence of the soul or consciousness. She may not harm you now, but it is possible that she will change at some point. Moreover, she may have already harmed other classmates, so we need to find her as soon as possible. " Leo suddenly stopped, looking at the little lion with some concern. "You might have to take some risks. Are you... able to do that?"

In an instant, the little lion felt that he must be ill; otherwise, why would his heart be racing as if it were about to leap out of his throat? Although he knew very well that he was speaking falsehoods, he felt a surge of heat throughout his body and nearly fainted

"I was wondering why I have been following you for so long without noticing anything unusual," Leo said thoughtfully

In fact, this game is quite famous; anyone who enjoys horror games is aware of it. However, most people do not believe that it will summon anything; they merely play it for fun or to test their courage.

"Then why don't you erase my memory?" Is it because he has a slight affection for her? Otherwise, why would he stay by her bedside, and why would he want her to remember these things? Can she think this way? The little lion looked eagerly at Leo, wanting to hear his answer

Well, you have a conscience, but I am fine. Because I appeared suddenly, she was unprepared, so I succeeded in one strike, causing her to lose her strength instantly. However, this is not a ghost from folklore, but a mysterious power formed by a strong consciousness, which should be resolved from the fundamental level. Therefore, I talked to her again, which allowed her to completely dissipate. Rest assured, her lingering thoughts in the school have been completely eliminated, and such incidents will not occur again in the future

The sound that answered her was still the sound of the ball being bounced, but the direction of the sound had changed. It no longer emanated from a single spot; instead, it was moving, accompanied by footsteps. It seemed as if the person bouncing the ball was walking while playing, thoroughly enjoying themselves, and the sound of those footsteps was exactly the same as what she had heard that night while playing the four-corner game

The little lion initially wanted to sit a bit farther away, but could not resist the pleas of her friend Wang Jia, so she had no choice but to sit here with her. As soon as she took her seat, she heard the surrounding girls exclaiming in surprise. Looking up, she saw Leo, already dressed in his competition outfit, walking towards them. Before she could comprehend what was happening, he suddenly raised his hand towards her and said, "Help me hold this, and we will leave together after the competition."

I can. The little lion nodded. For his trust, to help him, she certainly could

The first-year high school girl, Little Lion, screamed as she ran out of the sports group's basement. In her frantic escape, she even turned back to call out to her three classmates. However, she lost her balance and fell hard on the back playground. The three girls she had been concerned about, Zhou Xiaomeng, He Lichun, and Guo Li, stood behind her, laughing heartily. Each of them wore a pair of strange glasses, and Guo Li even held a V8 camcorder in her hand. At that moment, Little Lion realized that the four-corner game they had been playing had not summoned any ghosts; it was all just a prank they had played on her.

"It's fun, and that's exactly why I'm playing. Do you think it's because I like you?" Zhou Xiaomeng slowly walked in front of the little lion, "I want to see what it looks like when someone is scared to the point of losing control. At the same time, I have a piece of advice for you: don't think that just because Leo gave you a nickname, he has noticed you. Don't even think about having any ideas about him; do you really think you are worthy of being compared to him?"

"Why don't you clean up? What’s the point of leaving a broken chair here every day?" the boy shouted, simultaneously kicking the chair away with force, sending it flying far. Perhaps this action caused him to hurt his foot, as he began to unleash his anger on the little lion.

She wanted to resist, but there was no way. As the footsteps grew more urgent, her strength faded, and she fell to the ground

"I see that your skills in the lion rolling the embroidered ball are so impressive, why not call you Little Lion!" said a male classmate, laughing heartily as he left with a swagger. From that day on, her ordinary name was forgotten, and everyone called her Little Lion, including the teachers and even herself

Yesterday, I found out who she was, but after waiting for you downstairs for quite a while without seeing anyone, I became worried something might have happened. So, I ran upstairs to check on you, only to discover that the four of you were trapped in the classroom. At that moment, I happened to have with me a device that my mother had researched back in the day, which was similar to an electromagnetic gun and could disrupt consciousness flows and waves. "You didn't think I used a Taoist talisman, did you?" Leo said. At that moment, I happened to have with me a device that my mother had researched back in the day, which was similar to an electromagnetic gun and could disrupt consciousness flows and waves. "You didn't think I used a Taoist talisman, did you?"

The next day is the city sports meeting, and all students in the school are required to participate. Students who are not competing will serve as cheerleaders. Since athletics is a strong suit of Guanghua High School, and their star athlete Leo is a key contender for the gold medal, nearly all the girls gathered in one section of the stands to cheer for their dream lover.

At the beginning of the game, one person at a corner walks towards another corner and gently taps the shoulder of the person in front. Then, the tapped person walks towards another corner in the same manner (everyone walks in the same direction, either clockwise or counterclockwise), and taps the shoulder of the third person, and so on. If you reach a corner where there is no one, you must first cough, then pass that corner and continue walking until you see the next person.

The girls called him Leonardo behind his back, because he was even more handsome than that Hollywood star. Standing at 185 centimeters, with a delicate face, he appeared languid when not smiling, yet had a charming childlike quality when he did. He came from a good family, excelled academically, and was a star of the school track and field team. At every city sports meet, he would win gold medals in both sprinting and hurdles. As a result, in the hearts of the girls at Guanghua High School, street racing was seen as a behavior of unsophisticated older men; only running fast was considered cool, and Li Ao was the one who ran faster than the wind.

"Don't be too quick to lose your temper." Leo pinched the little lion's nose, his gesture affectionate and natural. "Many classmates were focused on your embarrassing moments and didn't notice what was happening behind. But I inadvertently discovered something unusual; look, here."

***

"Quick, take it; the gold medal will be given to you shortly. But if you dare to not wait for me, I'll spank you!" Leo said again

Under his gaze, which resembled a cold moon, the little lion was perplexed. Does he care for her? This indicates that he cares for her to some extent, suggesting that his feelings for himself are not merely utilitarian. Or perhaps, there is a hint of affection, even if it is just the friendship between classmates. In this way, she would feel that everything is worthwhile.

But what does all this have to do with her? Is it a blessing that he mocks her? Does giving her a nickname mean he has any connection with her? Is she his pet? For this reason, she was relentlessly pursued by the class bully, Zhou Xiaomeng, who said that if she did not participate in this game, she would have no good days ahead. It wasn't that she was afraid of Zhou Xiaomeng; she just found it annoying. So, she ran out of her house in the middle of the night, risking being kidnapped or caught by the supervising teacher, climbed over the wall to enter the school, and was then scared half to death, thinking she had summoned a ghost, only to find it was a prank! Moreover, she guessed that her embarrassing moment would be seen by all her classmates the next day, and she would once again become the topic of conversation during meals.

"It is very likely. This is not a guess; I have some evidence," Leo said as he pulled the little lion into his bedroom, taking out a camera to show her the footage from the day she was teased by Zhou Xiaomeng

The little lion was frightened, but fortunately, at that moment, she was nestled in Leo's warm embrace, feeling an immense sense of security. What Leo said next shocked her even more. It turned out that Leo had initially encountered the situation by chance, but later, after the little lion experienced a second terrifying incident in the basement of the sports group, he became completely convinced that the entity was following her, which is why he stayed close to her. However, because the little lion did not inform him about the chair, he had come up empty-handed all this time.

However, because the little lion did not inform him about the chair, he had come up empty-handed all this time.

As the little lion was tightly pressed against the door, she was knocked to the ground when the door opened, a sharp pain radiating from her forehead. However, the feeling of being rescued at that moment outweighed everything else. She quickly got up and tightly embraced the person who had barged in, only releasing her grip when the warmth emanating from that person helped her regain some clarity. It was then that she realized the pair of eyes, bright as cold stars, belonged to Leo, and the one beside him, who was angrily screaming, was not a ghost, but Zhou Xiaomeng.

Zhou Xiaomeng was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Is this how heartbroken people behave? It's simply insane. I, Zhou Xiaomeng, can teach you a lesson whenever I want. Who are you to dictate to me?" As she spoke, she delivered another slap, causing the little lion to turn its head aside, just in time to see the chair move a step closer. Due to the sudden forward movement, it let out a sharp squeak.

Without a rope and without a ghostly hand, Zhou Xiaomeng was nonetheless firmly glued to the chair as if bound, and no matter how much she struggled and cried out, it was of no avail

Classmate, what is your name? a pleasant male voice asked her

What does this mean? Could it be that he actually likes her? The little lion thought happily, hoping that she had not guessed wrong, even if it was just a little bit of affection!

A series of questions and overwhelming fear left the little lion standing there motionless, while the sound gradually approached from afar, cold and formless. It felt as if a hand were caressing her in the air, frightening her to the point where she could no longer care about much. She desperately pulled at the door while calling out, "Let me out! Help! Help!"

Bang bang bang

I forgot to mention that the special electromagnetic gun can erase a person's memory from a few minutes ago, so -- there will be no problem. " Leo shrugged.

She shouted very loudly, startling Zhou Xiaomeng. In a fit of anger and embarrassment, she slapped the little lion across the face. "So you've learned to go against me, have you? Do you know what the consequence of this is? It is suppression," Zhou Xiaomeng said, waving her hand. He Lichun and Guo Li immediately each grabbed one of the little lion's arms, rendering her completely unable to resist.

At that moment, they were sitting under the tall kapok tree on the playground. Leo stretched out his legs, gazing thoughtfully at the clouds in the sky. Upon hearing the little lion's question, he immediately lowered his head, first gazing at her for a while before smiling and saying, "Is there any need to ask? It is because I like you."

The darkness momentarily engulfed everything, and the little lion's heart felt as if it had been gripped fiercely by a ghostly claw, causing her breath to momentarily cease. Instinctively, she wanted to turn and flee, but the basement door would not budge at all! She turned her back, staring in terror at the completely invisible front, listening to a monotonous and rhythmic "thump thump" sound coming from the corner opposite her, as if someone were dribbling a ball in the darkness

Thus, her strong embrace of Leo became the new topic of discussion on campus. As for her account of what she saw, Zhou Xiaomeng criticized it as an attempt to attract Leo's attention, while the teacher scolded her for being so superstitious at such a young age. Only Leo glanced at her thoughtfully.

Leo nodded earnestly, devoid of his usual teasing demeanor, yet the understanding and support reflected in his eyes, along with a hint of affection, suddenly made the little lion feel a sense of safety

Isn't it true that ghosts cannot appear during the day? asked the little lion

"Do not kill them, do not kill them!" The little lion was at a loss, "Although they are bad, they do not deserve to be killed. Let us go!"

Who is she

There is a horror game called "Four Corners Game," which is said to be even more terrifying than the Ouija board.

The little lion cried and pleaded, but to no avail. She heard Zhou Xiaomeng's cries for help growing fainter, feeling that the lives of all of them were becoming increasingly fragile. Suddenly, she understood that the fifth girl blamed her for revealing the secret; now, "she" wanted them to die as well, to accompany her forever

"You people, why are you doing this? Are you just bored after having your fill? Is it that amusing to tease me?" the little lion said angrily, getting up from the ground, but the sharp pain in her ankles and knees made her crouch down again

A week has passed, and the news about the little lion continues. That day, Zhou Xiaomeng and her friends all wore infrared glasses, and even the camera was equipped with infrared devices, so only the ridiculous appearance of the little lion, which could see nothing, was clearly recorded. These devices were not a challenge for Zhou Xiaomeng's family's financial resources, but the impact of this game on the little lion was significant. She tried to bravely face the ridicule around her, but in reality, she intentionally or unintentionally avoided the crowd, just like when she secretly returned the volleyball and net to the sports group after physical education class.

I can tell you something else," Leo suddenly admitted, half-seriously, "for example, you could ask me why I joined the school track team; in fact, I dislike running the most.

The little lion turned around in fright, only to find that there was nothing there at all. The other students in the classroom also looked bewildered, but only this classmate, who resembled Xiao Guizi, appeared as if he had seen a ghost, continuously retreating. Then, suddenly, he went into a frenzy, rushing around the classroom and overturning all the desks and chairs.

The little lion glanced at the chair again, noticing it slowly sliding forward as if an invisible person were pushing it, inching closer to where they were. She knew that the scene from that day would repeat itself, desperately trying to break free from the restraint and urging her classmates to leave quickly, but she was completely unable to move.

The little lion completely did not understand the professional language that Leo was speaking; she only heard him say "we," which made her very happy. Moreover, she realized for the first time that he looked so handsome and mature when he was serious. With him around, what soul, what consciousness, what was there for her to be afraid of.

On the ground here, a pair of girls' feet suddenly appeared, standing against the wall, wearing round-toed T-strap shoes and snow-white socks. A pair of snow-white calves were slanting and disconnected in the middle, with the blank space drenched in blood, completely unable to connect with the blue short skirt above. Yet, in this state, she was actually walking along the wall.

The basement of the sports group is actually semi-subterranean; one only needs to enter from the entrance and walk down a few steps to reach it. Therefore, on a bright afternoon, it is not too dark. However, as soon as she stepped down the stairs, the little lioness felt a chill, causing her to shiver inexplicably. She watched as the volleyball slowly rolled into the basement as if being pulled by something, and she hurriedly chased after it. Yet, as soon as she entered the door, it slammed shut behind her with a loud "bang".

"You are blushing." Leo pressed his lips together and smiled, two shallow dimples causing the little lion to fall head over heels.

It turned out that the reason she was targeted by Zhou Xiaomeng was because of the prince charming in the hearts of all the girls at school, Leo! The little lion thought indignantly, feeling extremely wronged and quite unfortunate. She had no connection whatsoever with that senior in the second year of high school, and she even found him somewhat annoying! Yet now, she was being implicated because of someone she disliked.

Liao, I will never see you again. You must be happy and fulfill your dreams. Just remember her a little bit. Her consciousness gradually faded, and Liao's face became the only thing left in her mind

Following the gaze of the little lion, she saw a chair quietly placed in an open space not far from her. She recalled that the incident had also begun with a chair that day, and besides, hadn't this chair always been positioned at the back? Why was it so close to her now?

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" After listening to all of the little lion's account, Leo furrowed his brow

Once again, the sudden sound of a train whistle startled the little lion, causing him to loosen his grip and let the volleyball fall to the ground, bouncing and rolling into the basement. In fact, there is a railway right behind the school, and the students have long been accustomed to the sound of passing trains. However, ever since that game night, every time a train passes, the little lion feels a surge of fear. This is because that night, following the sound of the train whistle, there was an additional sound of footsteps in the room.

"Why are you bothering me?" One day, she could no longer endure it and asked Leo.
