“A school boy was murdered on his means again to high school, and his physique was thrown on the road.”

Fortunately the alley wasn’t too lengthy, and Xiao Chen shortly ran to the exit with out making just a few turns.

Simply as he stepped out of the alley, the footsteps behind him stopped too, adopted by the sound of one thing cracking.

Xiao Chen didn’t dare to suppose an excessive amount of, the one thought in his thoughts was to depart this scary place.

And when he walked out of this alley and rushed right into a crowded place, his first thought was to vow that he would by no means select to go to this type of ghostly place the place there’s not a single particular person in the midst of the night time, simply because he was in a rush..

Rattling, which fool was calling him.

Wanting on the identify on the display, Xiao Chen couldn’t assist however roll his eyes.

Positive sufficient, it was the fool in his dormitory.

Xiao Chen pricked his ears and listened to the dialog of the particular person subsequent to him. When he heard that he was on Liquan Highway, his face immediately paled, and his eyes had been somewhat hole.

His roommate Zheng Hui simply purchased just a few bottles of water from the comfort retailer and walked again, and put it on Xiao Chen’s desk, scared Xiao Chen all of a sudden stood up from the desk, and the bang made the tables and chairs very loud. Everybody seemed over with a dazed expression.

“…”

“…”

Xiao Chen got here again to his senses and sat again in his seat somewhat embarrassed, the encompassing folks then went again to doing their very own issues.

However regardless of this, Xiao Chen’s face was nonetheless very upset.

Zheng Hui might inform at a look that he had one thing on his thoughts, so he poked his arm with an elbow, and moved his head shut, “What’s unsuitable, huge brother, why do you look so disoriented? Did you see a ghost? Hahaha.”

Zheng Hui didn’t imply the rest, he simply needed to tease Xiao Chen, in order that he will probably be extra relaxed. He didn’t count on that as quickly as his voice fell, Xiao Chen seemed even worse and Zheng Hui realized there was one thing unsuitable and frowned, “What’s the matter?”

Earlier than Xiao Chen might reply, the group of gossip ladies subsequent to him had continued to trumpet the lethal incident.

“I heard it was a knife, and it was left on the scene?”

“No, I heard that he was sucked dry!”

“Chey, no matter! Anyway, nobody would dare to go to Liquan street sooner or later. ”

Zheng Hui was silent for an instantaneous, not daring to say one other phrase.

No marvel Xiao Chen was so scared simply now, if it was him, he would even be scared to loss of life.

Luckily, nothing occurred.

Zheng Hui pat Xiao Chen’s again along with his arms, and comforted, “It’s okay, it’s throughout, don’t suppose an excessive amount of.”

As quickly as he completed saying the sentence, Zheng Hui felt chills, inflicting him to tremble throughout, and his arms fell from Xiao Chen’s physique and touched the again of his personal neck.

The chilliness is like somebody holding a knife in opposition to the again of his head.

Unusually, as quickly as he put his hand down, the biting chill disappeared and not using a hint.

Nonetheless, Zheng Hui didn’t take this episode to coronary heart.

“Hey, brothers, do you wish to play the Bunshinsaba!”

“Ha”

“Haven’t you all heard of it, it’s simply asking ghosts that can assist you by answering your doubts?”

“Haha, how can there be ghosts on this world? In any case I’m bored so rely me in.”

“Me too! Me too!”

In only a second, all the blokes in room 404 had been enjoying the sport, apart from Xiao Chen who was nonetheless misplaced in his personal ideas and Zheng Hui who accompanied him.

Xiao Chen sighed, glanced on the crowd, stood up, and climbed up on his mattress with a heavy coronary heart. His mattress was on the higher bunk with a curtain.

Nobody dared to talk anymore, even when there have been nonetheless individuals who needed to not play, they didn’t dare to talk.

“Hu”

Everybody took a deep breath.

Their heartbeats accelerated, and the environment had been terribly silent.

However two shadows break up out of skinny air on the wall!!

The break up shadow was clearly greater and stronger than Xiao Chen’s shadow, and even the silhouette of the facet face mirrored was considerably totally different.

The shadow rolled his head, the corners of his mouth moved, as if he was smiling, he tilted his head once more, and checked out the place Xiao Chen was mendacity.

The define of the corners of the mouth twitched much more exaggeratedly.

Hehe, it smells so good.

Nobody knew how lengthy it sat there and watched him. Lastly, the shadow lay again quietly once more, slowly…

Melting into Xiao Chen’s shadow once more.

On the identical time, the boys stared with pleasure.

All of them stared on the skinny paper on the bottom, and the 4 folks held pens of their arms on the identical time.

For some motive, there was clearly no wind within the room, however the candlelight lit by the candle was swaying back and forth.

Beneath the shining of the candlelight, the figures of the 4 folks, one after the other, all hit the floor of the paper, they usually had been completely crossed collectively.
