Outside the teaching building was the school's playground.
The vast playground was shrouded in darkness with the lights extinguished, but it was much better than being inside the teaching building. The darkness inside the teaching building was so thick it almost seemed to swallow people whole, whereas here, despite the dimness, one could still make out the surroundings.
Only after running here did the fear in the hearts of the others gradually subside a bit. Almost completely drained of strength, everyone sat on the ground panting, barely able to stand. It wasn't that they were physically inadequate; they had been trapped in the teaching building for too long. The extreme fear, coupled with the desperate sprint, instantly exhausted them.
"Scary, it scared me to death. It was really terrifying just now. At such a close distance, almost right in front of me, that baby was crawling over and looking at me from Wang Shanshan's shoulders... I had no idea when that baby had crawled over," said a male student, his voice still trembling.
"It must be a ghost, that baby must be a ghost. There are ghosts everywhere here, we are all doomed, doomed..." said a female student with a pale face, now somewhat delirious.
"Wait, Wang Shanshan was caught by that ghost, so why is Yang Jian also missing?" Suddenly, Miao Xiaoshan spoke up. She was Yang Jian's deskmate and had known him since junior high school, so she always paid more attention to Yang Jian. Zhang Wei glanced around and indeed did not see Yang Jian. He couldn't help but touch the corner of his eye: "Yang Jian lived gloriously, died a great death, heroically sacrificed himself to save us. He is the child of the people, I will not forget him. In the future, I will burn paper for him on holidays, and if his family holds a funeral, I will donate more money to let him go in style. After all, he was a decent person when he was alive."
"Don't be sad, Miao Xiaoshan. People can't come back from the dead. You rest here for a while, and I'll go back and see if Yang Jian is really dead. If he is really dead, we will discuss how to escape again." Said Zhang Wei, gritting his teeth, preparing to go back and check the situation.
"Zhang Wei, just for your words, I can be sure that our friendship is plastic. Next time if we encounter ghosts again, I will definitely not save you and let you fend for yourself." Suddenly, Yang Jian's voice sounded from behind.
He was seen helping Wang Shanshan walk over. "Yang Jian, you're okay, that's great," Miao Xiaoshan said with some joy. The others saw that Wang Shanshan and Yang Jian were fine, and their eyes also brightened. This is the only good news today. Too many classmates in the class have died from the beginning to now. "Lucky, got a life back," Yang Jian nodded and said. Zhang Wei said excitedly, "Yang Jian, I knew you would be fine. I was just talking casually just now. Don't take it to heart. You must save me in the future. I'm counting on you for my life." "I'm not interested in men, only in saving beauties. At least beauties can repay with their bodies. What's the use of saving a man? To fight?" Yang Jian said. Next to Wang Shanshan, hearing this, her face turned slightly red, and her eyes showed a bit of shyness. "Don't be so ruthless. I've given you all my resources, and I didn't keep any for myself. We should take care of each other as good friends, after all, we've been through hardships together." Zhang Wei said, "Wait a minute, something is wrong. How did you and Wang Shanshan escape just now?" Suddenly, his face changed, looking at Yang Jian with a bit of vigilance. "Of course, I punched the child away and ran out with Wang Shanshan. What do you think I did?" Yang Jian said. Zhang Wei said seriously, "Brother, that teaching building is haunted. I believe Wu Song can fight a tiger, but you dare to fight a ghost? Forget it, now I suspect that you are not Yang Jian at all, and it is very likely that you are a ghost, intending to mix among us and kill us all. That's how it is shown in horror movies." As soon as this was said, the already frightened people looked at Yang Jian with fear, as if he really was a ghost. "Here we go again, can't you think normally? Every day suspecting that person is a ghost, this person is a ghost, if you really meet a ghost, you would have already died, and still have the energy to stand here and talk?" Yang Jian said. "In that case, I'll ask you a question, what is my English name? Wait, wait, change the question, this question has been asked in the teaching building, and it may have been heard by the ghost through the wall. I'll ask another question, what is Zhao Lei's English name?" Zhang Wei looked extremely wise. As if he is proud of his own caution and prudence. "I don't know," Yang Jian said. "You do have a problem. Zhao Lei's English name is Vasharb, everyone stay away from him." Zhang Wei quickly stepped back several steps, ready to run away at any time. Yang Jian asked again, "Wait, I didn't hear clearly just now, can you say Zhao Lei's English name again?" "Hehe, you don't know, Zhao Lei's English name is Vasharb," Zhang Wei sneered. "What about me?" Yang Jian said. "Vasharb." Yang Jian nodded and said, "You still know you are an idiot, it seems you are not too stupid to be beyond saving." "..." Zhang Wei. Wang Shanshan, Miao Xiaoshan, and others looked at him with a caring look for the mentally challenged. Just now, Zhang Wei was fighting wisdom with the air, no different from a fool, and the difference between him and Yang Jian was like a bronze and a king, after all, they survived all because of Yang Jian's guidance and rearguard. "Damn it, I'm not an idiot," Zhang Wei strongly refuted. "He actually read my eyes," a classmate widened his eyes, very surprised in his heart. "I..." But now is not the time to rest. Yang Jian said, "My phone is out of power, who knows what time it is now?" "My watch seems to be broken, and it's actually four o'clock in the morning," Miao Xiaoshan looked at the cartoon watch on her wrist with some surprise. "Eh, my phone is also four o'clock and five minutes in the morning, I just saw it was half past eight." "When did so much time pass?" Everyone found that the time was not right. Yang Jian looked back at the teaching building shrouded in the distance by darkness and said, "The time is not important, I was just thinking that such a big thing happened here, so much time has passed, why there is no response outside?" "Yes, I called the police before." "I also called my mom." "It's so quiet around, there should be car sounds outside the school at this time, but now I can't even see the light of a car." Yang Jian looked up at the sky. Dim and lightless, as if shrouded by a layer of haze, no moonlight, starlight, which is not in line with common sense. "Yang Jian, what's going on?" Zhang Wei also felt something was wrong, and fear surged in his heart again. "What else... We have always been in the ghost domain." Yang Jian's face solidified, and he said in a deep voice, "And from the beginning to the end, we have never left, the scope of the ghost domain is not only the teaching building, but also the playground is in the scope of the ghost domain, and this scope may be even larger, but the teaching building was previously in the central area, now it is slightly on the edge, or... that ghost is moving, the scope of the ghost domain is changing with the position of the old man, but we have not seen the old man's figure in all directions, so the impact is not great." "But I think the ghost domain is a special closed space, whether it is the central area or the side, the degree of impact, the difficulty of getting out is the same, and the distance does not seem to be the key to escaping the ghost domain." "In other words, we are now trapped, like a bird in a cage, the cage is moving, and the bird inside can only be forced to move with it, but we can't perceive this movement." "So, what do we do now?" Wang Shanshan said on the side, her voice trembling, her palm tightly grasping Yang Jian's arm, her body couldn't help but lean on him, as if she had already regarded him as her savior. She never wants to experience what happened at the stairway just now in her life. Others also looked at Yang Jian with fear and expectation, hoping he could think of a way to completely leave this ghost place.
Yang Jian was silent, touching the several pairs of closed eyes on the back of his hand.
To leave here, there might only be one way, to continue to use the power of the fierce ghost. But Zhou Zheng also said that using the power of the fierce ghost once, the fierce ghost in the body would recover a bit, and oneself would be close to death, even more fierce than taking poison. "No wonder Zhou Zheng said in the end, becoming a ghost tamer is not only for others, but also for oneself, because sometimes it is not only to save others, but also to save oneself when facing a fierce ghost." Yang Jian thought to himself. "But before that, I have one thing to figure out, and to settle a grudge, otherwise I would not be willing to die." After making up his mind, Yang Jian said, "Who has Fang Jing's phone on your phone, lend it to me, if I'm not wrong, he should also be trapped here like us."
