Chapter 26 Ghost Under the Bed

Shen Mengyun was somewhat dazed as she spoke. Trembling, she took out her phone and handed it to Jiang Cheng. On the screen was a photo.

It looked a little blurry, probably taken under very tense circumstances.

Overall, it was quite dark and the contents were disorganized. After observing, Jiang Cheng realized that this was a photo Shen Mengyun took of under her bed after hearing the sound of dripping water. She was too afraid to look, so she held her phone down and snapped a picture.

The space under Shen Mengyun's bed was much messier than under theirs, piled with waste paper, bundled books, and an overturned chair.

But the focus was on the right corner of the photo, where there was a gap. Behind the gap, a pair of blood-red eyes stared intently at the phone.

Even through the screen, Jiang Cheng felt a chill run down his spine at the sight of this.

"The sound of water wasn't a hallucination. That thing that was chasing us before, it really came in, came into my room, and hid under my bed." Shen Mengyun's voice trembled, and Jiang Cheng could clearly feel her fear. "And did you see the position of those eyes? That... that ghost was lying on its side under my bed, in the same position as me on the bed!"

In her nervousness, Shen Mengyun finally uttered that word: ghost.

"I couldn't hold back, so I rushed out, but the ghost didn't chase me. Then I heard footsteps in the hallway."

"It was... coming from the stairs."

"I was worried it was a trap, so I quickly found an unlocked room to hide in, and then I peeked out through the crack in the door. I saw Wang Qi and Gao Yan coming down from upstairs, moving very lightly and carefully."

"But just as they reached the door of my original room, the door opened! That ghost... that ghost had disguised itself as me."

"Then they said something, and then they left together, through the dormitory gate."

At this point, Shen Mengyun looked regretful. "I was too far away, and I was worried about making noise and alerting the ghost, so I didn't hear what they said clearly."

"After they left, I was about to come out when I saw you coming downstairs." Shen Mengyun took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Cheng.

Actually, at this point, Jiang Cheng already believed her halfway. If it was a ghost, there was no need to waste so many words, but he still needed something to confirm it.

He slowly retreated, still staring at Shen Mengyun, not saying a word, but simply gesturing with his eyes towards the other side of the corridor.

Shen Mengyun followed Jiang Cheng's gaze and quickly understood his intention.

That was her previous room.

Room 107.

Jiang Cheng wanted her to go in. Since she said the ghost had disguised itself as her and left, then room 107 should be empty and safe.

In any case, she had no reason to refuse.

Unless... she was the ghost in disguise.

"Okay." Shen Mengyun immediately walked towards room 107, and then without hesitation, she reached out and pushed the door open.

Perhaps there was an element of defiance in it, but the sound it made was quite loud.

Gu scared Jiang Cheng.

The lights in room 107 were still on, but it was empty.

"Mr. Jiang." Shen Mengyun turned around, her eyes red as she looked at him and said, "Can you believe me now?"

"What are you talking about, Miss Shen? I've always believed you." Jiang Cheng's eyes were full of understanding as he looked at Shen Mengyun, and a hint of poorly concealed pity.

"Miss Shen, according to what you said, I think Gao Yan and Wang Qi are in danger." Jiang Cheng stroked his chin, very naturally changing the subject.

"Yes." Shen Mengyun nodded. "They must have gone to the activity center. Do you remember? The last time this ghost latched onto us because of those things. I think those things must be very important to it."

Jiang Cheng's trip this time was also aimed at those things.

"No, Wang Qi and Gao Yan still think that I'm the real one. I have to tell them." As she said this, Shen Mengyun took out her phone.

But Jiang Cheng grabbed her hand. "Calm down, Miss Shen. This dormitory is also not right. Let's go out first."

After leaving the dormitory building a short distance, Shen Mengyun sent a message to Wang Qi, "What does this mean?" she said, frowning as she looked at the phone screen.

Jiang Cheng leaned over and saw a red exclamation point after the message she sent to Wang Qi.

"The message can't be sent. It seems they really are in trouble." Jiang Cheng said calmly. "Miss Shen, let's hurry over there." He paused. "Saving people is the priority."

"Okay."

They rushed to the activity center as quickly as possible. The sky outside was a little brighter than before, and it was estimated that it would be completely light in another hour.

Daylight had not disappeared, but the time was getting shorter and shorter.

Once daylight completely disappeared, the hidden terrifying side of this Xiangtan school would be completely exposed, and at that time, they would no longer have any chance of survival.

"It's almost dawn, Mr. Jiang, let's hurry." Shen Mengyun had always had a good impression of Jiang Cheng, especially after seeing his eagerness to save people, and she sincerely believed that he was a good person.

The gate of the activity center was ajar, and the lock was hanging on the side. It seemed that Wang Qi, Gao Yan, and the ghost had entered from here as a group.

When Shen Mengyun saw this, she was about to go over.

"Wait." Jiang Cheng stopped her, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's go around to the back and climb in through the glass window of the women's restroom."

"But they took the main entrance." Shen Mengyun asked, puzzled.

"We'll take another route and catch them off guard," Jiang Cheng said righteously as he waved his fist.

But what he was thinking was taking advantage of the heaven-sent opportunity that they were holding back the ghost so that he could go to the warehouse to look for clues.
