He could no longer control himself, yelling and shaking off the hand, while simultaneously shouting for Zhao Xuejun to let go. Zhao Xuejun appeared...

However, she was already crying in fright and shouted, "What happened? Shichao, where are you?"

Jiang Shichao desperately wanted to run away immediately, anywhere at all. Unfortunately, he could only continue moving slowly.

He could hear Zhao Xuejun sobbing and hiccuping beside him, but he no longer had the strength to speak to comfort her.

"Xuejun, are you alright? What happened to Shichao?" the people in the office asked anxiously. Both of them were already...

He was so afraid he couldn't speak.

Reply [39]: The fishy smell of water plants was right in front of my nose, and a dampness was rising from around me. I could hear the faint sound of water. The two of them were in the dark.

He almost secretly suspected he had arrived at Luoyan Lake. Suddenly, a pair of hands reached out from nowhere and tightly embraced Shichao.

One leg. Shi Chao felt a chill run through his body; his legs felt like they had turned to stone, completely immobile. Those hands were gripping him...

She frantically pulled down her trouser legs. Shi Chao's heart was pounding in his throat when he heard Zhao Xuejun scream:

"Who's grabbing my leg? Help! A ghost! A ghost!"

The girl's shrill voice echoed in the empty corridor, sounding like countless wronged spirits screaming, "There's a ghost!"

"Ah, help!"

Everyone already knew there was something fishy going on, but this was the first time they'd said it so openly. They didn't say it outright.

Previously, there seemed to be a sliver of hope, but Zhao Xuejun's shout shattered that illusion, sending chills down everyone's spines and making them feel as if a cold wind was rising.

Countless ghosts lurked in the thick darkness, waiting for their chance to strike.

For a moment, everyone fell silent, only Zhao Xuejun's echo still lingering in their ears. This piercing sound struck...

The sound was hitting Jiang Shichao's eardrums so hard it was almost unbearable. He covered his ears with his hands, trying to block out the noise.

Echoes usually don't last long; after two calls, they should gradually weaken and then disappear.

Zhao Xuejun's echo lingered in the corridor for a while before gradually fading. But just as the echo weakened,

Jiang Shichao, however, clearly heard a terrified male voice shouting something beside him. At first, the voice was extremely faint and indistinct.

What Chu shouted was enough to send shivers down Jiang Shichao's spine. At that moment, the hands on his feet continued to lash downwards.

They tried to pull him, but he was too preoccupied to pay attention. He could hear the voice beside him perfectly well, even with his ears covered, as if...

The Buddha was speaking to him from afar, his voice filled with terror and despair. Gradually, he could hear the voice calling out...

It was a cry of "Help! Help!" Jiang Shichao dodged left and right, but the cry kept echoing in his ears. Terrified, he...

He simply let go of her hands and shouted, "Who's calling for help?"

His voice was no quieter than Zhao Xuejun's, yet there was no echo; only the people in the office asking questions...

The sound of his voice. Zhao Xuejun was crying uncontrollably beside him, clearly on the verge of a breakdown from fear.

Suddenly, everything went quiet. The sound had disappeared. Jiang Shichao was filled with surprise and uncertainty, then suddenly felt the hands on his feet...

It was slowly sliding down. Just as the hand reached his ankle, something cold brushed against his foot.

A thought suddenly struck him. Before he could decipher the idea that had formed in his mind in that instant, he...

He had already bent down and grabbed the hand, while simultaneously ordering Zhao Xuejun to grab the hand on her foot. Zhao Xuejun said, trembling.

"It has already fallen."

Upon hearing her words, Jiang Shichao immediately searched the ground and finally found another one lying horizontally on the floor.

A hand. This hand is very strange; it's lying horizontally on the floor, but for some reason, it seems to be constantly falling down.

It seemed as if beneath the hands was a deep void, and something heavy was pulling them down. The hands were cold and clammy.

Shichao was no longer afraid. He used all his strength to pull on those two hands, but they felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, dragging him so he couldn't stand.

Straightening up, it felt as if that hand was about to pull me into that inexplicable void.

Zhao Xuejun's voice came through, her tone distorted: "Shichao, why are you holding that hand? Are you crazy?"

Jiang Shichao was so anxious he was almost going crazy. He shouted, "Come help us quickly, or the Chess Saint and the others are doomed!"

Zhao Xuejun felt both strange and scared, but hearing Jiang Shichao's tense shouts, she could only cautiously grope her way up.

She grabbed Jiang Shichao's arm and tried to pull him back.

Even with their combined strength, they could only barely slow the downward momentum of the two hands. They bent over inch by inch.

They were on the verge of collapse.

Suddenly, a meow rang out. Zhao Xuejun asked in surprise, "It's a cat! Why is it so happy?" You see, Zhao...

Xuejun had spent every day with this cat and was quite familiar with its meows. She could tell that the cat's meows were unusually excited at this moment.

hapiness.

Just as the cat meowed, the two of them simultaneously felt their hands suddenly lighten; the immense pulling force had vanished.

A huge light appeared before my eyes—the electric lights had come on.

Suddenly transitioning from darkness to light, both of their eyes felt a little disoriented and abruptly closed them. The brief moment before closing their eyes...

For a fleeting moment, Jiang Shichao seemed to see a blurry figure bending down in front of him. He closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them again.

Opening up, all I saw was bright, open space, without a single shadow, except for the cat staring blankly at the wall.

Zhao Xuejun suddenly screamed. Jiang Shichao looked at her and saw that her face was deathly pale, and she was pointing to the ground and saying...

Speak out.

The people in the office rushed out shortly after the lights came on. Lin Ding and Leng Xin were worried about Jiang Shichao, their hearts filled with...

Anxious, and hearing Zhao Xuejun's continuous screams, their hearts pounded even harder. The crowd surged out and rushed towards the two of them.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

Two people lay face down at Jiang Shichao and Zhao Xuejun's feet, completely soaked, surrounded by water plants.

Strands of silk were wrapped around their bodies. Jiang Shichao held both of their hands tightly.

Around them, a puddle of water was slowly seeping into the floor.

Everyone already knows who these two people are, but no one is willing to say it first.

Leng Xin stepped forward and slowly turned the two bodies over—as expected, the two were Yang Tianwen and Xu Sen.

Yang Tianwen and Xu Sen had their eyes closed and their faces were deathly pale; it was unclear whether they were alive or dead. Everyone assumed they were most likely dead.

Jiang Shichao still held their hands tightly, his face showing extreme guilt: "If only I had caught them sooner..."

"That's all." Before he finished speaking, tears were already welling up in his eyes. Several people patted him on the back to comfort him—this

It wasn't his fault to begin with.

Reply [40]: Although the lights were bright, they could not hide the desolate feeling of the scene.

Although these two people got what they wanted, everyone who is alive has a thousand different feelings in their hearts.

Leng Xin and the dean slowly withdrew their hands from Jiang Shichao's grasp, and were about to place their hands on Yang and Xu's chests when...

The dean suddenly frowned and exclaimed "Eh?", quickly looking up at Leng Xin. Leng Xin also looked puzzled, yet seemed to have...

A faint excitement lingered within him.

"What's wrong?" the principal asked.

The two remained silent, each taking one of the hands to check the pulse, then almost simultaneously cried out, their eyes gleaming with joy.

Surprisingly, the dean shed tears: "Thank goodness, they're not dead!"

Is there any more beautiful word in the world? They're not dead!

Everyone shed the tears they had been holding back and gathered around the two. The dean and Leng Xin didn't even have time to wipe their eyes...

Tears welled up, and they immediately began first aid on the two. After artificial respiration, Yang Tianwen coughed a few times, spitting out some clear water, and gradually opened his eyes.

He opened his eyes. Xu Sen was also waking up over there.

His eyes opened. Xu Sen was also waking up. The group half-carried, half-lifted the two to the principal's office, where he...

They lay down on the sofa to rest. After the dean and Leng Xin examined them, they determined that they were fine and should be able to rest.

Everyone was relieved to hear that he would wake up soon. The principal went to the lounge to fetch two sets of clean clothes, asking Leng Xin and the dean to prepare them for him.

They changed into them.

Then, the principal turned around and asked Jiang Shichao, "What happened just now?" Jiang Shichao briefly explained what had happened.

I read it once.

After he finished speaking, everyone looked thoughtful.

"What happened? What about you? What happened to you in the office?" Jiang Shichao asked Leng Xin.

Leng Xin and his colleagues also encountered some strange things in the office.

When Jiang Shichao and Zhao Xuejun screamed because they saw a dark figure, the principal and the dean were sitting on one side and standing on the other.

At the office door, Yang Tianwen and the others sat on the sofa. None of them saw any shadow enter. The light...

As soon as the light went out, the principal and dean immediately blocked the doorway. It's certain that in that instant, absolutely no one entered.
