Schoolhouse of Wronged Souls

Chapter 14

This situation was completely unexpected, but the doctor and police officers inside breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to...

He left. After examining him, the doctor said he was fine, just that he had fainted again due to excessive shock, and then gave him a sedative injection.

Jiang Yu asked two police officers to stay and watch over the ward, while the others went back to rest.

Reply [18]: Xu Xian and the others were taken to the patient's family guesthouse. While walking, Xu Xian deliberately lagged behind by two steps and secretly tugged at Li Ke's...

Sleeves. Li Ke understood and walked alongside him.

"Did you notice? I think Wu Xi is acting a bit strange. When Liu Quan saw him, he shouted 'Wu Xi is wearing red shoes,' which makes me wonder if Wu..."

"He's possessed by a ghost," Xu Xian whispered, expressing his doubts.

Li Ke subconsciously clenched his fists, a sudden surge of nervousness washing over him, but his trust in his roommate quickly overcame the unease.

So he whispered, "Wu Xi rarely speaks, which isn't surprising. Liu Quan was terrified at the time; I'm afraid he didn't..."

Please make your meaning clear.

Xu Xian added, "I have always had a spiritual connection; I can sense the aura of death emanating from him."

Seeing Xu Xian's certainty, Li Ke was at a loss. Everyone knew Xu Xian knew magic, so he believed him.

Most of them said, "Then what should we do? Let's sleep separately from him tonight and think of a way to help him tomorrow."

So Li Ke and Xu Xian booked a double room at the guesthouse. Wu Xi had to sleep with the others.

In the middle of the night, Li Ke got up to use the restroom. The guesthouse's restrooms and rooms were separate, with a layout similar to the school dormitories.

The toilet was at the end of the corridor, so it was quite a walk from his room to the toilet, but he wasn't afraid because he was still half asleep.

What? It was just that when he entered the toilet, he suddenly remembered Liu Quan encountering that wandering corpse there. When he came out of the toilet...

As he emerged from the toilet, a nameless fear gripped him, causing him to hastily finish urinating and walk out. He reached the door...

He stopped and noticed Wu Xi leaning against the bathroom door, silent as if waiting for something. "Could it be..." Li Ke thought.

Xu Xian's guess flashed quickly across the sea. He was instantly terrified.

Just as he was about to run, Wu Xi called out, "Li Ke, don't be afraid, I have something to tell you."

(To the utmost)

Hearing Wu Xi's calm and clear voice, Li Ke felt relieved. He walked to his side and asked in a low voice, "It's so late, what are you doing here?"

"Why are you still outside?" Wu Xi shook her head and said, "I can't sleep, my mind is so confused."

Li Ke asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" The two walked to Wu Xi's room door as they talked.

“No,” Wu Xi shook his head and asked Li Ke, “Were you pacing back and forth outside the door just now?”

Li Ke was taken aback, and said somewhat apologetically, "No, I was woken up by the urge to pee, so I relieved myself. Was it because I was walking..."

Did the noise wake you up?

Wu Xi frowned, shook his head hesitantly, and muttered to himself, "No, it's not your voice." In the dim light of the corridor...

In the dim light, he looked dazed, his face pale, and he seemed distracted.

"It's nothing, maybe someone went to the restroom. Get some rest, you have class tomorrow." Li Ke yawned.

He turned to leave.

"No," Wu Xi grabbed Li Ke's hand, "It's not the sound of someone using the toilet, I can tell."

His voice was hoarse and hurried.

"What's that?" Li Ke turned to look at the dark window at the end of the corridor, and his heart tightened.

“There’s a strange sound of footsteps pacing back and forth outside the door,” Wu Xi said. “It’s different from your footsteps.”

It's completely different. I only waited for you here because I heard you coughing.

A strange unease crept into Li Ke's heart. He stared intently at Wu Xi's pale and haggard face: "What exactly was that sound?"

?

"It sounded like someone was slowly walking towards us, that's the kind of voice I heard," Wu Xi said, staring intently at the ground, trying to recall what he had heard before.

The sound said, "Dong, dong dong, dong dong, dong dong..." Wu Xi's hands moved in the air in response to the sound, trying his best to imitate it.

He was hearing the voice from his memory.

Just as the words were spoken, another voice suddenly came from the direction of the toilet: "Thump, thump-thump, thump-thump, thump-thump...", just as

The sound Wu Xi imitated was distinctly different from ordinary footsteps; it was as if someone was wearing strange boots.

They hurriedly walked over here.

Wu Xi suddenly grabbed Li Ke's hand and said in a trembling voice, "That's it, that's the sound!"

Reply [19]: Li Ke's heart clenched, and he felt his hand trembling slightly as he held Wu Xi's. He remembered it clearly, because just now...

He felt a pang of anxiety; he had specifically observed that all the stall doors were open, meaning there couldn't possibly be anyone inside. But now...

The sound was clearly coming from that direction, and it was getting clearer and clearer, as if someone was about to walk over.

The two held their breath, staring nervously in the direction of the toilet, waiting for the person to come out.

However, the footsteps were so clear, as if they were already close, yet no one could be seen. About ten minutes later, the sound returned...

Gradually blurring, it seemed as if I had walked in the opposite direction from the toilet.

Li Ke and Wu Xi gradually relaxed, exchanging a glance, both puzzled. They were on the second floor of the guesthouse.

The toilet is at the end of the corridor, and there is no exit there.

Li Ke's breathing grew heavy, and he lowered his voice, saying angrily, "Damn it, what the hell is that? (The last part is a fragment and doesn't translate directly.)"

have a look!"

Wu Xi hesitated, wanting to object, but seeing Li Ke already striding towards the restroom, she could only follow behind him, her heart pounding with fear.

.

The two stopped in front of the restroom. The sound gradually faded, yet remained clear; it was coming from inside the restroom.

Come out. Li Ke glanced at Wu Xi, only to see that Wu Xi's face was still pale.

There were two doors in the restroom, one for men and one for women. Li Ke quietly walked to the women's door, gritted his teeth, gathered his courage, and rushed out.

They went inside.
