Chapter 37: Hallucination

  I was stunned, and I didn't take a closer look at the 'girl' just now, but after seeing her appearance, I was scared, and I didn't notice those details. I quickly turned around, slightly looking back in fear at the white-clothed 'girl', and my face suddenly flushed with embarrassment, because I saw the details that Chen Xian had mentioned.

  "If she's not a ghost, then what is she? Why is she here and in this state?" I became even more puzzled after realizing that the girl wasn't a ghost. In this old school building with such a strong mysterious atmosphere, why would there be a young girl appearing like a madwoman, and still so frightening?

  My words left Chenyan looking puzzled, he looked at the "girl" and slightly furrowed his brow, saying to me: "Let's talk about those things later, we should head back first. Since this road is impassable, it seems like we have no choice but to go from the staircase side. I remember there's another road over there!"

  I was slightly startled after hearing what Chenyan 'Lu' had to say, and I almost forgot something important. I nodded my head and turned around to walk back, Chenyan 'Lu' and I returned to the large hall we were in before, then walked directly down the corridor on the right side.

  This direction was exactly where that white-clothed figure flashed by just now. As I walked over, my heart suddenly became very tense.

  The two of us soon arrived at the staircase on the first floor, I slightly nervously shone my flashlight upwards and found that there was nothing else on the stairs except for some debris. Only then did I feel relieved in my heart. I turned back to Chen Xuan and asked: "Is this the place?"

  Chen Yan nodded and said, "That's right, I remember coming here last time. Here you can go to the back door, just walk up to the third floor, then from the third floor take another staircase down, that's the back door! Let's go." After finishing speaking, I nodded and stepped on the stairs and went up.

  The entire teaching building was extremely quiet at this moment, with only the occasional sound of crickets and the squeaking calls of mice. Hearing these noises actually made me feel less afraid; if everything were dead silent, that's when I would feel a sense of unease and fear.

  The stairs were no different from the ordinary ones, and I arrived at the second floor in just a few steps. I paused for a moment, and just as I was about to turn around and head towards the third floor, I suddenly turned back, shining my flashlight over there. However, what entered my eyes was a messy scene, without even a single person's shadow.

  I let out a slight sigh, and at this time Chenyan 'Lu' looked at me with great confusion and said: "What's wrong with you? Is there no one?" Chenyan 'Lu' also looked around nervously.

  I helplessly shook my head, smiled and said: "I'm too sensitive, suspicious of everything, I always feel like someone is following us!" After finishing speaking, I let out a bitter laugh and walked towards the stairs to the third floor.

  My heart suddenly tightened up at this time, the feeling I had just now was very strong, like the two male and female ghosts I met in the magnetic field channel before, giving me a very strong feeling, always feeling that someone is following behind me, my heart is very tense.

  It was as if I had been holding my breath, and with a very tense heart, I walked to the third floor. Just as I arrived at the third floor, Chen Xuan 'Lu' also carried Huang Yan Yan to the third floor. At this time, I slightly turned around and took a glance at Chen Xuan 'Lu'. However, just as I was about to turn my head back, I suddenly saw with shock that on Chen Xuan 'Lu's shoulder, there seemed to be a white-clothed person covered in blood.

  I was so scared that my face changed color, and this time the flashlight was thrown down by me, it fell to the second floor, I sat back in terror, my pale face looked at Chen Xuanru and let out a sharp cry: "Ah." At this time, Chen Xuanru also seemed to be startled by my cry.

  All I saw was her hurrying over with a look of shock on her face, looking at me and saying: "What's wrong? Little Mimi, are you okay? What happened? Don't scare me!" Chen Xian's 'Lu' looked extremely anxious.

  At this time, under the weak moonlight, I saw that the person behind Chen Xianluo was still Huang Yingying. My heart slightly relaxed, and my pale face looked at Chen Xianluo, shaking my head, with a tense expression, saying: "Nothing, mistaken!" After finishing, I slowly stood up.

  Chen Yan 'Lu' heard my words and suddenly froze for a moment, then her face also became somewhat unnatural. She forced a smile and said to me: "Xiao Mi, your words scared me too! Forget it, let's not talk about that stuff. Oh no, the flashlight is gone, be careful next time!"

  It wasn't until then that I realized the flashlight had been thrown down to the second floor. I quickly wanted to go to the second floor to pick it up, but Chen Xian 'Lu' hurriedly pulled me back and said anxiously: "Let's not go, it's so high, if it doesn't break, it would be strange. Hehe, anyway, it has done its job well, we've thrown it down several times already."

  I let out a helpless sigh and nodded, "Alright, just remember the way later, okay? And hand me your phone, it can't make calls but at least it has a flashlight!" I recalled that Chen Xuan's 'exposed' phone still had battery.

  Chen Xuan 'Le' listened and nodded, took out her phone and handed it to me. I took it over, turned on the flashlight, and a small beam of light came out, although it was dimmer than a flashlight, but better than nothing.

  I adjusted the light on my phone and asked Chen Xiang, "Which direction should we go next?" I didn't know the way, so I had to ask him.

  Chen Xian 'Lu' glanced at the front and back, seemingly thinking for a moment. After a while, he pointed to the straight path in front of me and said: "It's this direction, it should be this direction, go straight ahead, reach the end, then turn right and there's a downward staircase, walk down the stairs to the first floor is the 'back door' exit."

  Chen Yan said with great confidence, "I heard him say it so carefully, and I nodded in agreement, thinking that what he said was reasonable. I immediately took the flashlight and walked forward step by step."

  The entire third floor corridor was quiet, with only the sound of our footsteps. I nervously kept my eyes on the path ahead, not daring to glance at other laboratory rooms, because I knew that would only intensify the panic in my heart. I was deeply perplexed - was it just that I was under too much pressure now, which is why I had so many hallucinations?

  I walked with my head slightly lowered until I reached the staircase on the right, where I stopped and looked back. That's when I saw Chen Xianluo finally catching up, but what I saw next made me terrified again - the person on her back was not Huang Yingying, but a woman in white clothes covered in blood.

  But in a flash, the white-robed 'girl' suddenly turned back into Huang Yanyan, leaving me bewildered and puzzled. I was extremely tense and rubbed my eyes repeatedly before looking again, only to find that it was still Huang Yanyan. I let out a long sigh of relief.

  Chenyan 'Lu' stood in front of me, looking at me with a puzzled expression and said: "What's wrong with you? You look strange. What did you see just now?" Chenyan 'Lu's face also became unnatural again.

  "There's nothing, it's just like before, I saw the person on your shoulder wasn't Huang Yanyan, but a white-clothed woman covered in blood, and then suddenly turned into Huang Yanyan. I must have had an illusion!" I shook my head helplessly, giving myself a reasonable comfort explanation.

  Chen Yan 'Lu' heard my words and suddenly widened her eyes, then she quickly said to me: "You look at me now, am I Huang Yanyan or that white-clothed 'girl' you saw!" Apparently he was also frightened.

  I took another look and it was indeed Huang Yanyan. I said to him, "It's really Huang Yanyan, I must have been hallucinating!"

  Chen Yan 'Lu' then slightly turned her head to look around, before turning back to me and saying: "I know, you must have seen that person jump off the building earlier and now you're feeling guilty and having hallucinations. But Xiao Mi, I want to tell you, don't feel guilty, we don't have time for that right now, because of Huang Yan Yan!"

  After listening to Chenyan 'Lu's' words, my heart trembled slightly, knowing that what he said was not false. I myself indeed often think of the girl who jumped off the building from time to time, and because my spirit is always tense, it caused those hallucinations. I feel that this must be the case, and at this moment, I am more confident in my heart.

  I smiled at Chen Xuan 'Lu' without saying a word, and walked straight down the stairs. This time we managed to get to the first floor relatively smoothly. Chen Xuan 'Lu' stood quietly beside me, I gently pushed open the door, and then saw a patch of weeds and a wall not far away. After seeing the wall, I finally let out a sigh of relief.

  "Come on, hurry up, we'll be safe once we get over that wall. Hurry and send Huang Yanyan to the hospital! We can't delay!" Chen Xuan 'Lu' rushed out quickly, I also followed in a hurry.

  The three of us trampled the weeds under our feet and walked towards the wall in front, and soon we arrived at the foot of the wall. I stood at the foot of the wall, looked up at the height of the wall, stretched out my hand and just reached the top of the wall, and a smile appeared on my face. I turned to look at Chen Xian, but suddenly my smile froze.

  Because I saw a black-clad person and a white-clad person standing at the exit of the back door just now, my heart was shocked, and I quickly shone the weak light of my mobile phone over there, and it really was that black-clad person. At this moment, I confirmed that he was the one with the ghost mask on his face.

  As I looked at the white-clad 'girl' beside him, I was also shocked. This 'girl' was very similar to the one in the iron gate earlier. The 'girl' suddenly showed me a crazy smile, which was very frightening. I was so scared that my face turned pale and I was extremely terrified.

  Chen Yan 'Lu' also turned around at this time, looking at the two men and women standing at the back door who did not come over. His face became extremely ugly.

  Just then, both I and Chen Xuan 'Lu' saw the ghost mask man holding a chopping knife with blood on it. After seeing it, my mind suddenly recalled the scene where Huang Yan's fingers were cut off, and an extremely panicked emotion spread in my heart.

  Chenyan 'Lu' reacted first and hurriedly said to me: "Xiao Mi, hurry up, you quickly climb up and pass Yanyan over, I'll go next! Hurry up, don't be stunned!"

  I was startled awake by Chenyan's loud roar, hastily turned around, slightly bent my waist, and immediately jumped up, grabbing the top of the wall with both hands, exerting force to push off, and I easily jumped onto the wall. It looked effortless. At this moment, I suddenly saw those two black-and-white figures walking step by step towards us.
