Chapter 5

Kou Chen indeed laughed, turning to Huo Ran and bursting into a fit of cackling. He hadn't stopped even when the boss brought up two large plates of roasted meat.

Perhaps due to the excessive yang energy, the ghost building appears to be not much different from their teaching building, except that it is older and dirtier

Just as Huo Ran was contemplating whether to leave, footsteps were heard behind him

"What did you see?" Xu Zhifan was also taken aback and turned to look at Huo Ran

"Not really," Kou Chen retracted his smile, "The only ones I can call at this time are Chao Ren and Xu Chuan. They live too far away, so it's not worth the trip."

What are you doing?" Kou Chen squeezed between the two of them, "Let me take a look.

"This is no exaggeration," Jiang Lei said, "Huo Ran's wilderness survival skills are fully developed. Not to mention starting a fire, he could survive for a month on wild fruits and hunting alone without any issues"

Xu Zhifan and Hu Yi did not drink much, but Jiang Lei could not hold it. He kept singing while hanging on Xu Zhifan's neck, and in the end, Xu Zhifan threw him under a tree by the roadside

Upon seeing the few people over there, Kou Chen was also taken aback

Huo Ran slowly turned his head, looked at him, and after several seconds finally said: "Damn you."

There are indeed too many people who think they can survive in the wild just because they have a tent that might not even be waterproof, and he finds himself at a loss for how to respond to that.

"Get lost," Ke Hua said, "Did you not know that students are not allowed here!"

... ... Let's see how you reveal yourself. '' Huo Ran was taken aback.

Xu Zhifan did not even try to stop this sentence, and sighed

"Have you brought anyone?" Huo Ran suddenly asked

Should we call Xu Chuan and Wei Chaoren out together?" Jiang Lei asked as he sat down

"Go take a look." Xu Zhifan walked over

"Nonsense, does arriving early guarantee your victory?" Jiang Lei said

Huo Ran let out a sound of disapproval but did not speak

"Considered someone who has seen ghosts," Xu Zhifan said while eating, "You should tell him, just in case he wants to go out to play, bringing a sleeping bag and heading out, only to end up dead outside. You wouldn't want that to happen either.

After Kou Chen unilaterally announced the results of the match, Huo Ran was taken aback for several seconds, the shock he felt completely overshadowing the fear he had yet to comprehend regarding whether the figure in white was a ghostly woman.

Kou Chen paused for two seconds, then walked forward and casually tucked the orange into his pocket

The legend of you hitting the teacher is probably just blown out in this format, right? Huo Ran originally didn't want to speak up, after all, he had just lost in the ghost building and still owed Kou Chen a "promise to do something for him," but he really couldn't hold back, "Your imagination is quite something, isn't it? You say that there are more ghost believers than any criminal gang.

No," Kou Chen said with a smile

"Could you say that again?" Huo Ran looked at him.

Let's go, why waste words with him? Huo Ran was very displeased, but he couldn't say anything harsh, after all, even without that final blow, Kou Chen could still defeat him

Kou Chen turned to look at her and said: "I need to urinate"

"Would you like a drink?" Jiang Lei looked at Xu Zhifan

He looked at the ground beside the stairs.

Hearthstone? '' Kou Chen did not react in time, '' Is a cartridge stove acceptable? ''

"Going home, where else can I go?" Jiang Lei said

The electric bicycle is parked over there by the main entrance, Xu Zhifan said

No need, they live far away, and it will be past midnight by the time they arrive. "Boss!" Kou Chen waved his hand.

"Is it too much to finish?" Hu Yi glanced over at the boss, noticing the variety of dishes on the table, all of which were large portions.

"Nonsense, how the hell can I survive if there are ghosts in the wild?" Huo Ran said, "There must be no ghosts in the wild"

Hmm. Huo Ran took a bite of the meat

Huo Ran has always believed that overly detailed classifications can lead to a decline in quality. This particular species of flower is not very popular, as it is not aesthetically pleasing and has a poor temperament

After taking only a few steps forward, several shadows suddenly emerged ahead, one of which even descended from the sky. The previously forgotten white shadow that had drifted away down the stairs instantly returned to Huo Ran's mind.

"Smiling so sweetly, it seems you have won?" Xu Zhifan said

"Stop laughing," Huo Ran frowned and said, "How about... we go to the haunted building tomorrow during the day? Logically speaking, if it were a person, jumping down from such a height in pitch darkness would surely leave some traces."

Kou Chen immediately laughed so hard that the wine spilled onto the table

"Go," Xu Zhifan said

Good night, " Kou Chen said with a smile as he waved his hand, turned around, and walked away briskly, humming a tune, " Ho ho ho ho ... ... "

Huo Ran glanced around; this building is off-limits. However, there are very few people in this area, and no one is looking this way

The cement ground has some weeds in the cracked seams, showing no visible traces

What was that thing that Kou Chen just mentioned? After Hu Yi drove away, Xu Zhifan finally asked a question

There are quite a few barbecue shops on the street next to the school, all relying on the students from nearby schools who climb over the wall at night to sustain them. During the holidays, they are barely surviving, but as soon as school starts, they come back to life.

Then, Kou Chen smiled at him and said, "Let me ask you, if we go camping, what things should we prepare?"

"Not this sentence," Huo Ran said

"She is a woman," Kou Chen replied without a second thought, "just like you, but with a bigger胆子."

"Are you still going?" Jiang Lei asked

You went out of the building first," Kou Chen jumped down the stairs again, stretched lazily, and said, "The one who comes out first loses. I haven't thought of what I want you to do for me yet. I'll let you know once I've decided.

Hmm. Xu Zhifan was peeling an orange

Huo Ran suddenly raised his head and glared at him; this matter truly could not be mentioned, for as soon as it was brought up, he felt like grabbing a shovel and burying himself.

He suddenly stepped onto the vehicle and pushed forward: "I came out with him, and that damn thing suddenly took a step back at the last moment! I didn't react in time, and it turned out that I was the one who came out first.

What are you doing?" Ke Hua could no longer bear it.

"About ten minutes," Kou Chen said, then looked at him again, "Did the three of you just arrive?"

Oh, Xu Zhifan started the small battery, "How did you end up losing? Were you so scared that you ran out?"

"Does he also drive?" Kou Chen pointed to Jiang Lei on the ground

"You old man," Kou Chen came to his senses, "I am speaking seriously here."

"What about my reputation?" Huo Ran said

After finishing the barbecue, who that shadow was remained undiscussed, and they did not reach any conclusion. The only information that Kou Chen obtained was that Huo Ran could drink a lot.

Huo Ran quickly counted in surprise and embarrassment: four boys and two girls, all of whom were senior high school students, with one of the girls being the top student in the liberal arts class of the senior year.

"Have a drink," Xu Zhifan glanced at Huo Ran, "White?"

Five strings are the same! Kou Chen is also shouting

"What are you doing?" Huo Ran looked at him.

Behind the building, weeds grow to half a person's height, and several people are standing in the corner

"Wearing a white garment, it seems to be a dress," Kou Chen said, "I knew there was someone up there, but when I ran over and saw this person, I was so frightened that I just sat down on the ground."

"Mind your own business..." Before Huo Ran could finish his sentence, Xu Zhifan pushed him from the side

Ah. Huo Ran responded somewhat dazedly, watching as Kou Chen and Xu Chuan walked away while eating oranges. Only then did he turn around, "Damn? Did I agree to him?"

Huo Ran and the others usually drink beer together during meals, but at this moment, Xu Zhi Fan is suggesting liquor. Kou Chen is unaware of his own drinking capacity, but Huo Ran's tolerance is sufficient to regain some face, a capacity honed from spending several days living in a grass hut in the wilderness during winter.

However, when Kou Chen reached the middle, he suddenly turned around and stopped facing the wall

"I haven't seen it, so I don't know," Huo Ran replied casually.

How will you go?" Kou Chen asked

There are no ghosts in the wild, " Huo Ran said

Xu Zhifan is indeed a true friend who has been in the same class with him since middle school, knowing that at such a moment, he must immediately reveal his identity; otherwise, he could escape twenty meters in the next second

"Are you going?" Jiang Lei asked

The floor seems to have cracked again, and the cultural relics and *illustrated* books are also too fragile," Kou Chen said, "Is there a knife on my butt?"

Huo Ran took a few steps and sighed: "I've fallen into the ghost tower, damn it"

"You lost," Kou Chen said with a laugh, whistling as he walked. "However, if you are not convinced, we can play a best of three. Let's schedule it for two days from now..."

After a few people left, Kou Chen felt a bit lightheaded underfoot, yet Huo Ran's gaze remained clear, impressive

He rode over on my electric bike," Hu Yi sighed, "I'll take him to my house in a while. His mom will definitely give him a good beating when he gets home.

"What is your appetite?" Kou Chen frowned disdainfully and said, "My sister and I can eat enough for a whole table."

Hmm," Kou Chen nodded slightly, lowering his voice, "It must be a person, and there might be a chance to go again. I need to figure it out, after all, it scared me quite a bit. What if it's some criminal organization conducting transactions here? I should record some audio or video for the police. At that time, it would be like a young hero daring to infiltrate a den of criminals...

"Do you want to go take a look at the back?" Xu Zhifan asked, "Yesterday, Kou Chen said he would be here by 9 o'clock, so that person probably didn't come up the front stairs, right?"

"Bring a Hearthstone." Huo Ran said

"What kind of person?" Xu Zhifan interjected, feeling that it was fortunate these two had not gotten into a fight after being alone for just ten minutes, thanks to Huo Ran's fear of ghosts

"Did you just go to the haunted building?" Xu Zhifan asked, "How long did you stay there?"

"Alright," Kou Chen said, "Then I will go see the ghost again tomorrow. Are you going?"

"Then I shall take my leave first," Kou Chen slowly stepped back along the road for a few paces, "suddenly."

Next to the haunted building is a wall. As they walked along the wall, Huo Ran did not expect to see anything, but as soon as he turned around, he and Xu Zhifan were both taken aback.

"I don't want to see it, thank you." Huo Ran interrupted his words.

Hmm! Kou Chen exaggeratedly nodded vigorously and then added, "In such a gambling game, it's not just me saying this; anyone can win against him."

"In a moment, let's go, go, go, go." Kou Chen waved his hand and walked towards the back door wall.

"Is your sister a woman?" Huo Ran couldn't help but ask.

"Well, besides us, there indeed is still..." Kou Chen poured wine from the bottle while glancing at Huo Ran and asked, "Are you sure that is a person?"

Jiang Lei and Hu Yi have not yet arrived at school, and after Huo Ran put down his luggage, he suddenly felt a sense of urgency and pulled Xu Zhifan, intending to go to the Ghost Building right away

In the wilderness, in just three days, Kou Chen said, "Now we have a tent, but what else do we need to bring?"

"Let's have some barbecue," Kou Chen said, "Let's chat for a while, since we are all out anyway. Don't you want to know what we just saw in the haunted building?"

At the far end of the playground, the light of a flashlight flickered. Although there was still a soccer field and four running tracks in between, Kou Chen and Huo Ran instinctively moved to hide in the corner by the wall.

Xu Zhifan nodded slightly and said, "Tomorrow, after putting the luggage in the dormitory, I will go to see it."

There are no ghosts in the wild, and there are no ghosts during the day

In the current scenario, it is even less appealing to people

Kou Chen looked at Huo Ran with some surprise, and after a while, still felt a bit confused: "One person?"

I just want to ask, "Kou Chen sighed, 'With your courage, you dare to start a fire in the wilderness?'"

During the day, he is still very brave

I am not ill," Huo Ran said

What are you doing?" Xu Zhifan pushed him towards Kou Chen, lowering his voice, "We have to stay in the same class for two years, so why make it so awkward? Give him some face.

"Let's talk about the bet I lost," Huo Ran said, "It was agreed that the loser would promise the other party one thing."

Fortunately, almost simultaneously with the appearance of the shadow, he heard Xu Zhifan's lowered voice: "Huo!"

Is there anyone in the haunted building? Several people were startled, all looking up in astonishment at Huo Ran and Kou Chen

Kou Chen turned around to look at him, but said nothing

Huo Ran stood in front of the stone tablet and clearly saw that it indeed stated something about municipal cultural relics, confirming that Kou Chen was not speaking in vain

"Your mouth is really something else," Kou Chen said, and then asked, "Do you want to drink?"

"Huo Huo Huo Huo, Huo Huo Huo Huo," Kou Chen suddenly began to sing, "The routines and techniques of Huo Family Boxing are flexible..."

"Go take a look," Huo Ran said

"Go to hell," Huo Ran said irritably

You damn it! Huo Ran stared at him.

Huo Ran's expression was one of great dissatisfaction, filled with the sentiment of "Do you think I would believe you, you shameless person?"

However, the beam of the flashlight quickly changed direction and headed towards the gymnasium. He let out a sigh of relief. The school's management is very strict in all aspects. If caught by the security guard, Old Yuan would definitely have a talk with him tomorrow. Although he is not an outstanding student, he does not want to be running to the office as soon as the school year begins

Have you lost your face? Xu Zhifan said, We will help you pick it up wherever it fell.

I have thought it over and will discuss it with you later said Kou Chen

What do you want! the boss shouted

Ah. Jiang Lei was somewhat surprised

Aren't you afraid of ghosts anymore?" Kou Chen asked

"Why should I tell him? Are we that close?" Huo Ran said

The boss is bringing the wine!" Kou Chen shouted

You ... ... '' Kou Chen quickly turned to the side, his fingers hooked onto the waistband of his pants

The people in the dormitory remain unchanged from last semester, with four people sharing a room, only having moved from the first floor to the second floor. Kou Chen and their dormitory inexplicably became the one across the hall.

"I am impressed," Kou Chen looked at him with admiration, "your logic is quite powerful."

The ghosts are in the dark room without lights at night

Classes have not yet started today, but the playground is quite lively. In addition to the new students undergoing military training, there are also many boarding students returning to school today

Thank you. Huo Ran took the orange.

Huo Ran was suddenly filled with a sense of gloom

No, I lose, I lose. Huo Ran interrupted him, three games, two wins? No need, he is willing to accept defeat, he would rather concede than go back in.

"What?" Huo Ran furrowed his brows, "Then who is the person we saw?"

Xu Zhifan was probably the same, and so a few people remained awkwardly silent, stuck in place.

"On what basis do you say there are no ghosts in the wild?" Kou Chen pressed for an answer

Huo Ran and Xu Zhi Fan turned their heads simultaneously and saw Kou Chen, who was still holding an orange in his hand

Xu Chuan laughed out loud beside him: "Hearthstone, my brother"

Several individuals dragged Jiang Lei back to the parking area at the school gate. After Hu Yi mounted his vehicle, he used a luggage strap from the vehicle to bind Jiang Lei to his back

So annoying!" Ke Hua frowned, "Are you all idiots? I told you to get lost! Can't you understand?"

"The ghost from yesterday... jumped down from there," he suddenly pointed to the staircase on the second floor, "it's really quite high."

Especially often together with Kou Chen

Kou Chen took out his phone to check the time: "Let's go for barbecue, it's on me."

"That sounds good," Kou Chen thought for a moment, "Let's have dinner together tonight. Please explain it to me in detail, and I will make a list to ponder over it slowly."

I want to speak to you seriously; it cannot be made clear in less than half an hour. " Huo Ran sighed

Huo Ran stared at him, unsure whether to offer help if a fight broke out.

Huo Ran still had little temper towards girls, but he found Ke Hua's attitude extremely infuriating. Whether to retort or to obediently walk away suddenly became a dilemma

Xu Zhifan was taken aback for a moment, then he couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably

Just as he was about to turn and leave, Kou Chen called out to him from behind: "Huo."

As soon as they stepped out, Kou Chen walked out together with Xu Chuan, who was holding several oranges in his hand. He handed over two and said, "Try these, they are quite sweet."

"Where to?" Kou Chen asked

That is too bad, " Kou Chen retracted his hand and said nonchalantly, returning to the previous topic, " I will go to the Ghost Building again tomorrow.

What? Hu Yi was taken aback

Indeed, Kou Chen turned his face to look at him while singing, then turned back to Xu Zhifan, smiling very happily: "Have you all arrived late?"

"I will tell you once I have made up my mind," Kou Chen said

Huo Ran suddenly squeezed the orange in his hand tightly, turned his head, and thought that if Kou Chen dared to sing, he would dare to stuff the orange into his mouth
