Another four corners game!
Lu Fei couldn't help but comment inwardly.
Why do people never learn and keep playing these spiritual games? They only regret it when someone gets hurt and the situation is irreversible.
Although most ghost stories in this world are false, there's always a chance that they're not.
Would you dare to gamble with your life on that chance?
"Miss Su, someone just jumped to their death from that building not long ago. How could you have the nerve to go there to play games?" He couldn't help but ask.
This was exactly what the Su Liguo couple wanted to ask as well.
Su Ningxue bit her lip and whispered, "It's precisely because of this incident that we thought of going there. We wanted to prove to those people online that there are no ghosts in the world..."
Lu Fei shook his head speechlessly.
Knowing full well the mountain is infested with tigers, yet choosing to head straight for it.
Truly courting death with such actions.
"You!" Su Liguo couldn't help but frown, "What kind of friends do you have? Jiangcheng is so big, there are plenty of other places to play, why must you insist on going to a haunted spot."
"We didn't know either!" Su Ningxue looked aggrieved and covered herself with the blanket.
"Mr. Su, don't get upset. This isn't entirely Miss Su's fault. Let's hear her out first," Lu Fei quickly advised.
After all, he still hoped to get some useful leads from this naive young lady.
Mrs. Su coaxed for quite a while before Su Ningxue was willing to continue her story.
"There were exactly four of us, so we decided to play that four-corner game we saw online."
"As we were playing, I started to feel something was off behind me; it felt wet and cold, as if there was a clump of damp hair on my back."
"My hair isn't that long, it only reaches my shoulders, so it definitely wasn't mine."
"At that moment, I was really scared," she said, clutching her mother's hand tightly.
"But I don't believe in ghosts, so I thought it might be a prank by the others, using a fake wig to scare me."
"I decided to play along and scare them back, so I didn't say anything and kept walking towards the next person's position with that thing on my back."
"But as I was walking, I suddenly felt a burning sensation in my chest, as if something was getting hot. I snapped out of it and realized I was at the edge of the top floor."
"The wind was strong, and a few more steps forward, I would have fallen down."
"I was terrified and quickly ran back."
Su Ningxue still found it inconceivable.
"I remember clearly that I was playing games with them in the dormitory on the fourth floor. I have no idea how I ended up on the rooftop of the seventh floor, and I was all alone."
"Then I saw that the hot object was the amulet my father made me carry with me at all times. The amulet, as if it had been burned by fire, turned into a pile of ashes."
"I was really scared, so I shouted their names and ran downstairs. They were still in the dormitory on the fourth floor, completely unaware that I had gone to the rooftop."
"When I told them, they thought I was just trying to scare them and didn't take it seriously. I urged them to leave, and when we got to the first floor, we realized one person was missing."
"Just as we were about to go look for him, we heard a loud noise, and a figure fell from the rooftop..."
Su Ningxue couldn't continue, she swallowed hard and looked nervously at her mother.
"Mom, how... how is he now?"
Mrs. Su sighed heavily, unable to bear to answer.
Seeing the expressions of the people around her, Su Ningxue already understood. She covered her mouth with her hands, and tears began to fall one by one.
Mrs. Su quickly hugged her and consoled, "Don't be afraid, Xiaoxue, your mother and father won't let anything happen to you."
"Never associate with those scoundrels again! You were lucky this time; if it weren't for the safety charm given by Manager Lu, you would have been the one to die!"
Su Liguo felt a wave of lingering fear, and even though he usually doted on his daughter, he couldn't help but scold her.
"Old Su, what are you doing? After such an incident, our daughter is already miserable enough," Mrs. Su glared at him.
"I'm only doing this for her own good! I shouldn't have sent her abroad in the first place. Now her mind is full of foreign ideas, and she has forgotten all the taboos and traditions of our ancestors..."
"Alright, that's enough. Manager Lu is still here, so try to say less,"
Only then did Su Liguo take a deep breath and control his emotions.
"Manager Lu, please forgive my daughter's ignorance. Our family has been having troubles this year, I wonder if it's due to bad luck. Could Manager Lu give us a few more safety charms?"
"It's no big deal." Lu Fei generously took out three ghost-repelling talismans.
Mrs. Su immediately had Su Ningsnow take one and keep it with her at all times.
This time, Su Ningxue didn't doubt it at all. She carefully put it away as if it were a treasure, and her gaze towards Lu Fei was filled with more respect.
"Miss Su, did you eat anything inside the haunted building?" Lu Fei asked again.
Evil spirits usually attach to the surface of the body and do not go into the stomach unless something unclean is consumed.
"Eating?" Su Ningxue thought for a moment and said, "We brought milk tea into the building. Does that count? For a while, we put the milk tea on the ground to take pictures. When we picked it up and drank it later, the taste felt off."
"It should be at that moment when something dirty got into the milk tea," Lu Fei mused, "Besides that, did you see anything else strange?"
Ghosts harming people is quite similar to evil objects causing trouble; each has its own unique methods and characteristics.
The more you know, the better you can tailor your response to the specific problem.
Su Ningxue seriously considered it and shook her head, "No, we didn't stay there for too long... Oh, I have some photos and videos in my camera. We were originally planning to post them online."
"Can I see them?"
"Of course!"
Mrs. Su found her daughter's backpack, took out a portable camera from it, and handed it to Lu Fei.
Lu Fei opened it and flipped through one by one.
The three girls and one boy were taking photos all over the haunted house, and there was nothing unusual about the photos, so Lu Fei quickly skimmed through them to find the video of them playing the game.
The camera had a night vision function; on the dim and blurry screen, the four young people stood in each corner of the dormitory, taking turns walking forward.
The dormitory was very quiet, with only their faint footsteps to be heard.
The scene was normal at first.
When everyone had completed a round, the screen suddenly shook violently, and then several dark shadows appeared on the screen.
The dark shadows were silent, clinging tightly behind the four, with long hair hanging down their backs.
Lu Fei couldn't help but be greatly alarmed.
"There are actually four of them!"
Immediately, strands of long hair dangled down from above the lens, quickly covering it completely.
The screen went pitch black, and nothing could be seen; it was as if the camera had frozen.
Lu Fei tried several times to turn it on but failed, instead, he felt a chill on the back of his hand.
He turned his hand over, and his brow instantly furrowed.
A long strand of black hair poked out from the gap in the camera and crawled onto the back of his hand.
Infusing it with his magical power, the chilling hair instantly turned to ash.
"Miss Su, everything you brought out from the haunted building must be burned!"
Lu Fei felt his heart pounding with fear.
This hair really is everywhere!
