It’s…Teacher Zi Gui!!

　　Suddenly seeing this face, Jiang Cheng subconsciously leaned back, wanting to get away. But the fat man under him didn’t understand, and the two didn't coordinate well, almost falling.

　　Fortunately, the fat man was surprisingly agile, and he barely managed to put Jiang Cheng down.

　　“Doctor, are you alright?” The fat man looked at Jiang Cheng, who was still in shock, and asked quickly.

　　Fortunately, Jiang Cheng was a man who had seen big scenes, and he quickly calmed down, explaining to the people who had gathered around: "I just saw Teacher Zi Gui, on the bench at the street corner outside."

　　As soon as he said this, Bai Xi and Lu Yu exploded, “Teacher Zi Gui?!”

　　“Isn’t Teacher Zi Gui already dead?” Yuan Xiaotian asked in shock: “We just saw her body downstairs, burned to that state.”

　　Lin Wan’er signaled everyone to be quiet and asked Jiang Cheng to explain carefully.

　　At this moment, Jiang Cheng had completely calmed down. He stood up and told everyone about his encounter, from the illusory old movie-like traffic outside to the newspaper man who suddenly appeared on the street bench, until finally, the newspaper man disappeared, and Teacher Zi Gui turned her burnt face around.

　　“It’s that newspaper man again…” Zhou Tong’s voice was trembling.

　　At this moment, someone mentioned that someone had taken pictures downstairs. Xia Qiang then realized that he had taken a few pictures of Teacher Zi Gui's body when he left.

　　He immediately took out his phone and opened the photo album, but the next scene stunned everyone.

　　The photo only showed a dilapidated house.

　　The body that was originally lying on the ground… was gone!

　　Several photos in a row were the same!

　　"How could this happen?" Xia Qiang, who was originally relatively calm, also showed a look of panic on his face. He pointed to the pile of rotten straw in the photo, his emotions a little agitated, "I remember very clearly, the body was lying in this position at the time, head inside, feet outside, the body had been burned, everyone can testify!"

　　"Could it be… that the ghost found it again and moved the body?" Li Mengyao, standing beside Xia Qiang, asked in a low voice, "And then, in order to interfere with our judgment, placed the body on the bench outside."

　　"That must be it! The body was burned like that, we were afraid it would break with a touch, it couldn't have stood up and ran away by itself, right?" Yuan Xiaotian nodded very firmly.

　　Seeing that no one was talking, Yuan Xiaotian's face changed slightly. After a few seconds, he swallowed and said in a not-so-confident voice: "What I said is right… right?"

　　Chen Ran glanced at him, his tone flat and cold, "Whether it’s right or not, wouldn't we know if we go back and take a look."

　　"Go back, go back where? You still want to go to the underground prison?" Yuan Xiaotian looked at Chen Ran with an incredible look, as if he was not a human, but an incomprehensible monster.

　　After a brief discussion, a few people were left to guard here, and the rest returned to the door leading to the underground prison.

　　Before even seeing the door, the person walking at the front couldn’t help but stop. Li Mengyao sniffed, her expression slightly changing, “Did you smell something? It seems like there’s…”

　　Lin Wan’er and Chen Ran completely ignored her and quickly walked forward. The moment they saw the door, even Luo He, whose expression was calm, couldn’t help but frown.

　　The heavy wooden door was actually open.

　　But everyone clearly remembered that before leaving, they had closed the wooden door. More importantly, such a heavy wooden door could not possibly be blown open by the wind.

　　Besides, how could there be wind in the underground space?

　　Without being told, Chen Ran, Jiang Cheng, and Xia Qiang tentatively approached the wooden door. The three of them were very vigilant, as if they were worried that something was hidden behind the wooden door.

　　It was very dark behind the wooden door. After approaching, Xia Qiang immediately took out his phone and turned on the flashlight to shine inside.

　　Fortunately, except for a winding staircase, there was nothing hidden behind the wooden door.

　　But just as Jiang Cheng and Chen Ran each grabbed one side of the handle and completely opened the door, Xia Qiang, who was shining the flashlight, seemed to see an extremely terrifying scene, and couldn’t help but take a step back.

　　Following Xia Qiang’s line of sight, Jiang Cheng and Chen Ran were also drawn to the door. A pitch-black handprint appeared on the door, near the door seam.

　　The handprint was not large, but it was very clear, obviously left not long ago.

　　Judging from the position, the person who left the handprint was standing behind the door, using force to push open this door that was blocking her from leaving the underground space.

　　This person is Teacher Zi Gui!

　　Teacher Zi Gui, who had been burned to charcoal and could not possibly still be alive!

　　She is now a ghost.

　　She’s back to find them…

　　There were no newcomers standing here. In a few breaths, everyone calmed down. Jiang Cheng turned around and slowly opened his mouth, “Everyone, don’t panic. I saw Teacher Zi Gui on the street just now. She’s outside, not near us.”

　　“That’s what you say, but she’s already become a ghost. Since she can get out of here and go to the street outside, she can definitely come back!” Zhou Tong, who had hardly spoken, looked terrified, her voice trembling, her eyes looking around, “Maybe… maybe she’s already back, she’s near us, hiding in the shadows, watching us silently!”

　　“What nonsense are you talking about!” Xia Qiang rebuked.

　　The atmosphere, which had slowly stabilized, became tense again because of Zhou Tong’s words. Jiang Cheng’s eyes also changed when he looked at Zhou Tong. The latter’s remarks could not be said to be wrong, but they were inappropriate.

　　Besides bringing unwarranted panic, it was of no use.

　　In the *Midnight Murderer* script, Jiang Cheng had been in contact with this Zhou Tong. In his impression, the latter didn’t seem like someone who spoke without thinking.

　　“Clang!”

　　Before Jiang Cheng could think further, an ear-piercing sound rang out.

　　It was the sound of a gong.

　　For some reason, a strange feeling suddenly arose in Jiang Cheng’s heart.

　　It was as if a grand play, after a long delay, had finally opened the curtain.

　　Following the sound, they rushed to the direction of the wooden platform.

　　The wooden platform was no longer empty. Instead, it was surrounded by a piece of white cloth, leaving only a gap, as if to allow the audience to enter and exit.

　　Walking in from the gap, they saw a wooden frame placed on the wooden platform. Under the wooden frame, a copper gong was hanging, and a wooden stick used to strike the gong was thrown on the ground.

　　The copper gong looked very old. At this moment, it was still trembling slightly. Upon closer inspection, they could still hear a sobbing sound.

　　Luo He squatted down, picked up the wooden stick, and raised the other end to show everyone.

　　On the handle of the wooden stick, there was actually a patch of grayish-black. Upon closer inspection, it was a series of clear fingerprints.

　　“Sure enough, she’s back, she’s back to find us!” Seeing this scene, Zhou Tong completely lost control of her emotions. Li Mengyao and Yuan Xiaotian each grabbed one of her arms to restrain her.

　　“We can’t stay here any longer, we have to get out, we have to go out and find clues to survive!” Zhou Tong said to everyone in tears.
