Chapter 50: Bathhouse Strange Stories
"Brother Kai, what happened last night? I heard that the captain promoted you to the squadron?"

Yang Kai was surrounded by several people, who asked him questions all over the place.

"Oh, of course, last night..."

Yang Kai was very proud. After being promoted to a team leader, he could not only move to a better dormitory, but also had more than ten brothers under him. Not to mention the treatment. However, when talking about what happened last night, Yang Kai's eyes rolled around and he said mysteriously, "You want to know? Hehe, guess!"

Seeing that Yang Kai was keeping the secret, the people surrounding Yang Kai suddenly booed.

At this time, Yang Kai's eyes turned and saw the figure walking out of the dormitory building. His eyes suddenly lit up and he pushed the people around him away: "Get out!"

Then he quickly walked towards the figure: "Brother, brother, you are still alive!"

Xiao Ran raised his head in confusion and saw Yang Kai walking towards him.

"Brother, how did you survive last night?"

Last night, Xiao Ran asked Yang Kai and the others to leave first, and he stayed alone to deal with the embroidered shoes. This morning, Yang Kai and the others saw the bodies of Wang Jun and others in the corridor, and thought that Xiao Ran was dead, but he didn't expect that he was still alive.

"lucky."

Xiao Ran sighed, looking still frightened.

At this time, Yang Kai also noticed that Xiao Ran's body was still stained with blood, and he was holding a black plastic bag in his hand. The plastic bag looked quite heavy, and the outlines of his hands and feet could be vaguely seen.

"My roommate died, so..."

Xiao Ran felt depressed for a moment, with a look of self-blame on his face. He blamed himself for being too greedy. He didn't expect the old man's body was too fragile. After using the talisman several times, the body suddenly fell apart.

The flesh of the corpse turned into weathered foam and completely turned into tofu dregs.

"Oh, my condolences..."

Yang Kai nodded silently in agreement. Seeing the sad look on Xiao Ran's face, his heart was deeply touched.

In a place like this on campus, there are still such loyal and righteous brothers. It is as rare as a ray of light in the darkness.

"This guy is so kind."

Yang Kai waved his hand to the people behind him: "Come here, help me throw my brother's brother...oh, send him to the meat furnace."

"Meat oven?"

"Yes, brother, you just arrived and you don't know that all the corpses here will be thrown into the meat stove in the back to be burned as firewood. You will get used to it after a while."

After Yang Kai finished speaking, he saw that Xiao Ran's face was still stained with blood, and he immediately said distressedly: "Brother, you should follow me from now on. If you stay by my side, I will eat, and you will definitely not be left behind."

"This is a good thing. I live alone in a dormitory, which is a bit conspicuous. I might as well blend in with Yang Kai and his team, so that I can have a cover during the sweep."

"Thank you, Kai."

"What are you thanking me for? Come on, come on, come with me to take a shower and change into clean clothes."

Yang Kai put his arm on Xiao Ran's shoulder and said to the younger brothers behind him: "From now on, this is my real brother, call me Brother Wang."

"Hello, Brother Wang!"

These people did not dare to be careless and immediately started shouting in unison.

Yang Kai also introduced to Xiao Ran two of his former followers, Xie Xinrong and Xie Hongyi. These two were a pair of brothers, Xie Xinrong was the older brother, and Xie Hongyi was the younger brother, and they were also Yang Kai's right-hand men.

"Brother Yang, have you been promoted?"

Xiao Ran also realized that Yang Kai's condition was obviously different now, and he even had many more brothers around him.

“Hahaha.” Yang Kai grinned, looking somewhat proud, and lowered his voice and said, “Last night, our captain went to hunt down the night ghost, and we followed him…”

At this point, Yang Kai glanced around and whispered, "We ran into the team leader halfway. He was slightly injured and we carried him back."

After saying that, Yang Kai couldn't help but mutter, "Maybe he had a stomachache. The captain stayed in the toilet all night. I don't know why, but he was yelling while defecating."

Yang Kai took Xiao Ran to the school bathhouse.

There were not many people inside. Yang Kai glanced at the time and said, "Go take a shower. Remember, when you take a shower, if someone asks you what day it is today, just tell them that today is September 5th."

Seeing Xiao Ran’s confused look, Yang Kai pointed to an inconspicuous sign on the left.

【Bathhouse Rules】

1: Please take a bath as soon as possible and do not linger after bathing.

2: Keep quiet and don’t play around.

3: Hot and cold water are provided randomly, it all depends on luck.

Weird story: If someone asks you what day it is today, please tell him, today is September 5th.

"Aren't you going to take a shower together?"

Looking at the rules above, Xiao Ran turned around and looked at Yang Kai.

"No."

Yang Kai lowered his voice and said, "Actually, there is a hidden legend. If more than six people take a bath together, only five can come out in the end."

"Are there any hidden weird stories?"

"Yes, in fact, there are many strange stories in this school, but they are all deliberately hidden. We have only tried out a few of them with the lives of our predecessors. They are very weird. I will tell you about them after you take a shower."

After saying that, they motioned Xiao Ran to go in quickly, and they stood guard at the door for Xiao Ran. "Oh, okay."

Xiao Ran nodded, his doubts growing stronger. Hidden strange stories, beggars created by people, what on earth is going on in this school? ?
With doubts, Xiao Ran walked into the bathhouse and threw away his clothes.

The bathhouse on campus is very simple. It can only be described as a group shower room. There is no bathing pool unique to the north, and each shower is blocked by partitions on both sides.

It's a bit simple, but it's enough for school.

I turned on the hot water pipe, but there was no hot water. It seemed that I was unlucky and missed the hot water.

But it doesn’t matter. Just wash with cold water. Anyway, I often take a cold shower at home.

I turned on the cold water valve and a cool breeze splashed on my body.

Although it was the school's bathhouse, there were soap and shampoo hanging on each shower head. For Xiao Ran, who was covered in blood and smelled fishy, being able to take a clean bath here was simply the best thing.

I picked up the shampoo above and applied it to my hair, rubbed it vigorously a few times, and was about to rinse it with cold water.

“Puff… Dadadada…”

Behind the partition, there was a sound of water splashing.

Xiao Ran paused and asked, "Is there anyone else coming in to take a shower?"

Yang Kai and the others are so unkind. Didn’t we agree to help watch outside the door?
He quickly rinsed the shampoo off his hair. Cold water poured down his head. Xiao Ran rubbed it a few times and suddenly raised his nose.

"Blood!"

A pungent smell of blood wafted over, Xiao Ran opened his eyes suddenly and looked around vigilantly.

This fresh smell of blood is completely different from the smell of a corpse. It definitely cannot be from me.

He lowered his head and looked at the blood that had already dyed the water red under his feet. This blood was not from his side, but flowed from behind the partition on the other side.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran hesitated for a moment, took out the [Ring of Funeral] from the space, activated it and put it on his hand, then took out his black machete, squinted his eyes, stuck his head out, and looked towards the other side of the partition.

"Da da da da..."

Water splashed onto the ground. Behind the partition, a thin young man squatted on the ground, covering his face with his hands. His shoulders were shaking unconsciously. His body was covered with tiny wounds, and the blood was washed down from his body.

Looking at the young man squatting on the ground, Xiao Ran's eyes were a little surprised, and he scanned the other person; "Do you need help?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Xiao Ran in surprise.

"Although I can't sew you up, I can stop it from bleeding."

Seeing that the young man's consciousness was still intact, Xiao Ran realized that his spiritual intelligence had not yet been destroyed. So he took out a stick of incense from the space and lit it in a dry place nearby.

The smell of incense and candles spread, and the young man couldn't help swallowing. After looking at Xiao Ran, he walked to the incense and candles, and sucked them greedily.

As wisps of green smoke were inhaled into the young man's mouth and nose, his originally light body now became somewhat solid.

Xiao Ran took advantage of the opportunity to wipe his body, took out a new pair of underwear and put them on, then walked to the young man and asked, "Are you a night ghost?"

That’s right, the young man in front of me is a ghost.

When Xiao Ran saw him, he felt more familiar with him than the students outside. He had been here for so long, and apart from the old man he saw at the stairs last night, the only people left were those night ghosts.

But those night ghosts are not normal souls, and every pore of their bodies exudes strong negative emotions.

In comparison, the person in front of me is more like a normal soul.

This is also one of the reasons why Xiao Ran was willing to help him.

When the young man heard the word "night ghost", he shook his head and said while sucking the wisp of green smoke: "There are no night ghosts at all. We don't know where those night ghosts come from."

"Do you have other classmates?"

Xiao Ran keenly caught the word "we" from the young man's mouth and immediately asked.

"Have……"

The young man nodded and said, "But since the school built the big iron furnace, there are fewer and fewer classmates around me. Sometimes I see them, but they don't talk to me and disappear quickly."

"The big iron furnace?"

Xiao Ran thought about it. Yang Kai seemed to have mentioned a meat stove just now. Could it be that?
Xiao Ran wanted to ask more questions, but after the young man had said so much, he seemed a little tired. He shook his head and covered his head: "I don't know, I don't know anything, my head hurts..."

Seeing that he couldn't get any more information out of him, Xiao Ran could only give up for the time being. He picked up the burnt incense ash, rubbed it in his hands, and blew it at the young man.

The wound was immediately covered by the fragrance and stopped bleeding.

Even though the blood wasn't real, it should make him feel better.

"Have a good rest. I'll come to see you again when I have time."

Xiao Ran said as he prepared to leave.

"and many more!"

"What's the date today?"

Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, looked at the young man, and said, "September 5th."

The young man's body shook unconsciously when he heard the date. He raised his head, his pupils had turned pure black and he stared straight at Xiao Ran with an evil smile on his lips: "Wrong answer..."
