When they heard Lin Xiaotang say “Okay”, the men were stunned for a while.

What happened? She actually agreed?

They opened their eyes wide and looked at Lin Xiaotang in disbelief.

– Then, they found out that Lin Xiaotang was gone.

Yes, gone.

As the girl’s voice fell, the figure of Lin Xiaotang who was standing in front of them suddenly flashed and disappeared directly in front of their eyes.

In the empty women’s toilet, only these five men were left.

The sky outside was dark at some point, the light inside was dim, the incandescent lights in the distance kept flickering and the surrounding environment was eerily silent for a while.

“W-what’s going on here?”

Seeing this scene, someone couldn’t help but ask.

His voice was trembling and his eyes widened with fear: “Is she gone? Is she gone! Have you all seen it?!”

“See a fart!”

After listening to his words, someone immediately refuted it: “Don’t force it here, this woman is definitely hiding!”

The door was locked, how could she escape?

That woman must be playing tricks!

Hearing someone say that, the remaining four were relieved as if they had found the backbone.

They were separated from each other, looking around in the women’s toilet, trying to find Lin Xiaotang from the hiding place.

However, after they searched over and over several times, they could not find the shadow of the sixth person.

That girl named Lin Xiaotang really disappeared out of thin air—under the eyes of the five of them.

“She…is she that kind of thing?”

After a long time, someone asked in a weak voice.

The toilet was silent and no one answered him.

Faced with this supernatural situation, everyone involuntarily held their breath and dared not say a word.

Some timid gangsters have been scared and turned pale and more than half of the alcohol has sobered up.

They hurriedly took out their mobile phones and tried to call the girls who were guarding outside.

But they don’t know what’s going on, there is no signal in their mobile phones and no message can be sent.

Moreover, it is not clear whether it is an illusion, they always feel that the toilet is a little too quiet.

Although the teaching building was abandoned, it was located very close to the main road. From time to time, they could hear the sound of vehicles passing by outside or the footsteps of passers-by.

But now, the silence in the entire teaching building is so frightening that even the slightest breathing can be clearly heard.

They were completely cut off from the noisy and safe outside world as if they were isolated by something invisible.

“Otherwise, let’s go first…..”

They don’t know how long it took before someone suggested it.

This suggestion was quickly approved by several other gangsters.

They walked to the locked toilet door, where a strong man kicked his leg a few times.

Before long, the fragile wooden door was kicked open together with the lock.

The girls who were guarding the door didn’t know where they went. The hallway to the toilet was empty and there was not even a figure.

It was dark outside and the scenery in the distance could not be seen clearly. The end of the corridor was dark, as if a huge mouth was going to swallow them all.

Watching this scene, the gangster Wang, who wanted to play with Lin Xiaotang a while ago, felt a shiver in his heart.

His real name is Wang Qiang and he was expelled from the school because of a fight in junior high school.

After that, he did not continue to study but followed the “boss” to socialize, rob, extort, steal or to collect protection fees.

In the snack street just now, it was he, who first proposed to come to Lin Xiaotang to “make friends”.

Looking at the obviously abnormal teaching building, Wang Qiang swallowed hard, his heart beating faster and faster.

What he didn’t say was that just now, when everyone searched the women’s toilet together, he found a messy pool of blood in the innermost compartment of the women’s toilet.

Those bloodstains looked like human palms and they were densely printed on the wall of the toilet cubicle and in some places there were even traces of fingernails scraping and digging.

It was as if someone was once locked up here, constantly slamming the door with blood-stained hands and calling for help.

And above these bloody handprints, there are some sentences with the same messy handwriting—

“Don’t listen, don’t watch, don’t answer.”

Because of fear, after seeing this sentence, Wang Qiang immediately closed the door.

Looking at the equally anxious brothers around him, he didn’t dare to say this, he could only swallow it.

However, as the surrounding environment became more and more gloomy, Wang Qiang’s brain couldn’t help thinking of that sentences.

Don’t listen, don’t watch, don’t answer……What do these words mean?

When Wang Qiang was in a state of uncertainty, not far behind him, a miserable scream suddenly came!

“Ahhhhh!!-“

The sound was incomparably sharp, as if the noise was made when a fingernail scraped hard against metal, directly piercing the eardrum, causing Wang Qiang’s scalp to go numb and he couldn’t even breathe.

Listening to this tone….. It seems like the voice of those girls guarding the door outside!

Wang Qiang panicked, turned around subconsciously and looked at the source of the sound.

However, the corridor behind him was still pitch black, everything was so quiet and there was nothing out of the ordinary.

The scream just now seemed to be just his hallucination.

“Boss, did you, did you hear anything, what sound……”

Under the huge fear, Wang Qiang couldn’t even speak.

He was trembling all over and tears were about to flow out: “Did you hear the scream just now, did you hear it?”

No one answered back to him.

In the entire long corridor, only his voice echoed……

In this deadly silent environment, Wang Qiang finally sensed something was wrong.

At some point, the other four people disappeared from his side.

Just like Lin Xiaotang, Wang Qiang was the only one left in the corridor of the entire teaching building after just one shock.

The darkness enveloped him so tightly that he could barely breathe.

What’s going on, boss, why are they gone?

Where did they go? Where is he now?

And… that scream just now, was it real or fake?

All kinds of messy thoughts flooded Wang Qiang’s brain, causing his mind to be in chaos and he couldn’t calm down and think at all.

He stood blankly in the corridor, his body was stiff, he couldn’t move and he didn’t even dare to take a deep breath.

This state continued until his legs lost consciousness and the whole person almost turned into a statue.

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Qiang suddenly felt a slight vibration from the phone in his pocket.

What followed was a message sound that he was very familiar with.

“Ding dong! Ding dong!”

After hearing this voice, Wang Qiang’s body trembled slightly and the signal finally came over…

He quickly took out his mobile phone and looked at it and found that the signal of his mobile phone had changed back to full!!

And his mother, sent him a WeChat message a minute ago—

【Are you there?】

Looking at these short words, Wang Qiang was so excited that his tears were almost gone.

He can finally contact people outside, he can go out!

Without the slightest hesitation, and without time to think, Wang Qiang returned a word with his stiff fingers: [Yes!】

[I can’t find you anymore,] On the other end of WeChat, Wang Qiang’s mother said, [“Where are you? I’m coming to find you.] 

Her message was answered very quickly and it was sent almost the second after receiving Wang Qiang’s message.

Looking at these two sentences, Wang Qiang hurriedly continued typing, trying to tell his mother that he was locked in this abandoned teaching building.

But somehow, his heart was beating faster and faster and an unexplained panic hit his brain.

If he remembered correctly, his mother had just graduated from elementary school and didn’t even know the words very much.

She doesn’t use her cell phone very much. She usually has to look up a dictionary to reply to a message.

However, the speed at which she responded to the message just now was quite fast…..

Seeing that Wang Qiang didn’t reply, maybe she realized something. On the other end of WeChat, his mother sent a message again.

As time passed, the other party kept asking questions over and over again.

【Where are you? I’m coming to find you.】

【Where are you?】

【Where are you? Where are you?】

Looking at these crazy repeating words, Wang Qiang can already confirm that this is not his mother at all!

He was getting more and more frightened, his fingers were trembling and he could barely hold the phone and a chill surged up from the bottom of his heart.

【Where are you?】

【Where are you?】

【Where are you?】

【Where are you?】

……….

After a period of time, it may be because Wang Qiang didn’t respond for a long time and the other party suddenly stopped.

The phone stopped vibrating and the flashing WeChat interface returned to calm.

Just as Wang Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he should have been fooled, the other party sent a new message—

【Got you.】

————-

On the other side, in the corner of the abandoned teaching building, Su Tiantian shrank into a ball, hiding tightly under the desk.

She held her breath and didn’t dare to let out the air. She could only hope that the wandering “person” outside would not find her.

Her face was full of tears, her pupils dilated slightly with fear and despair.

She didn’t know why she fell into such a situation and she never thought that she would encounter such a situation.

Just now, she panicked a little after watching the girls lock Lin Xiaotang in the toilet.

It is impossible to say that she is not afraid. She had been a good girl for more than ten years before and she really wanted to teach Lin Xiaotang a lesson like this but she hesitated.

As a result, at that time, Xia Zeran sent her a message.

Instead of asking her how she was feeling as gently as before, Xia Zeran questioned her directly and asked her why she skipped class like those bad students.

Xia Zeran’s attitude hit Su Tiantian hard and the word “bad student” in his message also stabbed her self-esteem.

What bad student? Where is she a bad student?

Why did she become like this, does he have any idea in his heart?!

So, before this nightmarish accident happened, Su Tiantian replied to Xia Zeran maliciously and asked him to come to the abandoned teaching building in the school.

Didn’t he want to know why she was skipping class? Then let him take a good look!
