Chapter 39: Haunted House Horror
For the entire day, the students who received the news started to whisper, “There’s going to be a show to watch again. This Han Jiang has liked Su Fei for several years. She already has a fiancé, but he still doesn’t restrain himself. He actually wants to help her vent her anger at this time.”
“Miss Su’s suitor? Him? They can’t beat Lin Yin. Don’t get into trouble again.”
“What honorable means could he have? A girl from their cla.s.s was locked up in a haunted laboratory by him. She was locked up for the night and went crazy from fear the next day. Later, she quit school...”
“Yes, yes, I’ve heard of it too. How disgusting. Don’t tell me they’re going to deal with her like this...”
The entire day was calm. After school, Lin Yin walked along the way to the laboratory on the second floor.
Not far away, a few boys were guarding outside the laboratory. Ji Yun was afraid that they would fail like the people Shi Dai looked for, so she stood nervously nearby.
Before Lin Yin could reach, she noticed them. She smiled coldly and continued walking in their direction. When she reached the laboratory door, Han Jiang and a boy pushed her hard. Lin Yin was pushed into the laboratory without warning and they hurriedly locked the door.
They expected to hear Lin Yin’s terrified cry, but the laboratory was silent. There was no sound at all. The group looked at each other.
Looking through the peephole, it was also dark inside. They could not see anything.
After waiting for another ten minutes, Han Jiang pressed his ear against the door and listened. There was still no movement inside, which puzzled them. Was that person Lin Yin?
Ji Yun was getting impatient. They were so close but they still could not figure it out. These people were too useless.
“Open the door and take a look. She might have fainted from fright.” Ji Yun was about to open the door.
Ji Yun was anxious to see if Lin Yin had fainted from shock. As soon as she opened the door, she was squeezed to the front. Before Ji Yun’s eyes could adapt to the darkness in front of her, she felt a pair of hands grab her leg and she was dragged into the dark laboratory.
Han Jiang and the other male students were shocked. Did the “ghosts” in the laboratory really come out to catch them? Perhaps there really were ghosts in the laboratory. That was how the girl was scared out of her wits last time.
They closed the door and ran out in a panic. They could still hear Ji Yun’s heart-wrenching cries. It was already dark, and the building looked even more sinister.
Han Jiang stood below the laboratory and looked up to see the dark windows of the laboratory. He listened to the commotion in the laboratory and wondered if he should go back to save Ji Yun. Everything that had just happened made their hair stand on end.
Han Jiang closed his eyes and lowered his head, comforting himself that he might have been too nervous just now.
He heard a dripping sound above his head and something dripping into his hair.
He touched it with his hand. The liquid was a little sticky. He carefully opened his hand, and his palm was as red as blood. This time, they let out even more screams and fled without looking back. The matter of saving Ji Yun was also forgotten.
The laboratory was divided into several rooms. Lin Yin had started recording before she was pushed in, and their words were recorded word for word.
When Ji Yun opened the door, Lin Yin’s eyes had already adapted to the darkness of the laboratory.
She was not afraid of the dark. In the slums, there was no electricity for more than half a year. Lin Yin grew up in a dark environment. As for the mannequins in the laboratory, Lin Yin scoffed at the ghost legends.
How could someone who had died once be afraid of ghosts?
Ji Yun closed her eyes and screamed for a while. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the model move a few steps towards her through the big window. She was terrified and let out an even more ear-piercing scream.
Ji Yun stood up abruptly and pressed the switch crazily. Not a single light lit up.
In her despair, she remembered that they had already turned off the electric switch. No matter how she knocked on the door, there was no movement outside. Ji Yun was getting more and more afraid.
She did not see the shadow of the skeleton model just now. It was now looking at her through the gla.s.s. Ji Yun screamed and ran in another direction.
“Ah-” Ji Yun’s scream echoed on the second floor, and the terror intensified.
Su Fei and Shi Dai were waiting for news of Ji Yun’s victory in cla.s.s. Unexpectedly, they received Ji Yun’s cry for help. “Help me, there’s a ghost in the laboratory!”
