Terror is resurging, but only I am.

Chapter 31 Shh—Don't tell them

"puff--"

A series of muffled sounds came from downstairs; Yan Ming knew it was the sound of flesh and blood hitting the ground.

He had heard similar sounds many times before, during the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons when the demons jumped off buildings.

However, this time it sounds much more gruesome, because all those who fell were fresh high school girls.

Yan Ming didn't rush to look down through the window; he was still a little confused about the situation.

He took out his phone, which was hidden inside the tight-fitting uniform of the ghost-eyed corpse, and checked the time.

It was already six o'clock in the evening; I slept for a really long time.

However, he was clearly trying to control himself, setting his alarm for three or four o'clock in the afternoon, but for some reason he didn't wake up.

Yan Ming opened the alarm clock's history, which showed that the phone's alarm had indeed gone off at 3:30.

"I definitely can't sleep that much. I'm not so alert that I wouldn't hear the alarm clock when it goes off."

Yan Ming said in a low voice, "Then there can only be one reason."

The building may have undergone strange changes before 3 p.m., which is why he was unable to wake up in time.

But something still doesn't feel right. Isn't it said that you can't pretend to be a ghost before 8:30 p.m.?

Why are strange things starting to appear at 3 PM?

Could it be that this Moonlit Community is also a gathering place for strange creatures?

Yan Ming found it unbelievable, because the old woman had never mentioned such a thing before.

His luck is just too good!

"Tap tap tap tap tap tap, tap tap tap, tap tap cough cough—"

The school bell rang from high above, its sound gradually rising in pitch and intensity, before gloriously cracking at its highest note and even accompanied by several dry coughs.

"Someone's there?" This commotion naturally alerted Yan Ming, who quickly walked to the window and looked up.

There stood a school high in the sky, towering amidst the twilight clouds, its brick walls gleaming golden in the setting sun.

The school consists of a large but old complex of buildings, the lowest point of which almost connects with his residential building. Yan Ming turned slightly to the side to change his angle and noticed the school's bronze iron gate and a huge stone slope sign.

The signboard features strong and powerful Song typeface characters.

Wangcheng No.1 High School.

This is really a high school.

He squinted to observe the details of the school. Looking up from below, he saw no other students in the school; the entire school was shrouded in deathly silence.

An empty school.

Even though it shone brightly in the setting sun, there was still a chilling and terrifying aura emanating from it.

Mirage?

No, it's definitely not an illusion, because there really was a girl with a bunch of ponytails jumping down from above.

Yan Ming had initially thought they had jumped from the roof of the residential building, but now it seemed that was not the case.

"Hey--"

"Hey--"

Suddenly, Yan Ming heard a distant call coming from above, and he stared intently in the direction of the sound.

On the roof of the central teaching building of Wangcheng No. 1 Middle School, a boy and a girl can be vaguely seen. They appear to be wearing school uniforms, with similar styles.

The boy was holding a torch and swaying it from side to side trying to attract attention, while the girl next to him was waving a long-sleeved school uniform jacket, also trying to call for help.

However, their voices were very soft, and they were almost inaudible by the time they reached Yan Ming's ears.

"There really are people."

He frowned slightly, shrinking back, not wanting to meddle in other people's business. He was currently hiding in a small room in a residential building, and the couple on the roof of the teaching building, hundreds of meters away from him, would definitely not be able to find him.

Just as Yan Ming was about to retreat to his room, he suddenly noticed that the teaching building seemed to have undergone some changes.

In the middle of the teaching building are probably two dance studios, with two significantly larger floor-to-ceiling windows.

Below the floor-to-ceiling windows is an openwork floor plan, inlaid with a rustic, British-style round clock face.

Below the clock face is a row of neatly arranged small windows and air conditioner outdoor units, forming a slightly curved line.

"This is……"

Yan Ming slightly narrowed his eyes, deliberately lowering the resolution of his vision to make the school building in the sky appear to have even lower "pixels." This made it very obvious; the components on the building's surface even resembled a smiling face.

Yes, smiley face.

The floor-to-ceiling windows resemble eyes, the giant clock resembles a nose, and the air conditioner unit and small window below form a smiling curve.

There are smiley faces on the teaching building?
Is it a random result of the layout and arrangement?
It just happens to look like?

Yan Ming instinctively thought he was seeing things, but then he noticed that the smiling face on the surface of the teaching building moved.

Its "eyeballs" are looking upwards.

Sneaking around, secretly looking up at yourself.

Above?

Above the smiling face is the rooftop, where the man and woman calling for help are located.

"Hey!"

"anyone there?"

The cries for help drifted over, the sound more of a tentative probe than one of fear; they clearly hadn't noticed the school building secretly watching them.

What the hell is this thing?

Gazing at that smiling face from afar, Yan Ming inexplicably felt that its smile was extremely sinister, and a mocking malice could be easily transmitted to his mind even from hundreds of meters away.

It had already spotted them!

What is it going to do?!

Just as Yan Ming was looking at the smiling face with some nervousness, the smiling face suddenly returned to normal.

It wasn't that the eerie scene disappeared, but rather that the school building's laughter subsided, as if it had suddenly realized it had been discovered before playing a prank.

However, it wasn't discovered by the target of the prank, but...

It was discovered by a third party, Yan Ming.

The smiling face also squinted, trying to see more clearly, and then it noticed Yan Ming, staring straight at him.

The overwhelming malice was directed at Yan Ming, almost sucking away all the air around him, suffocating him completely.

Immediately afterwards, the streetlights in front of the teaching building quietly moved to the position directly below the smiling face, and then slowly extended and grew taller, all the way up to between the lips and nose of the smiling face.

"Shh-"

The movement was silent, but Yan Ming understood it.

The teaching building seemed to shush itself, warning him to keep quiet.

Be quiet, don't make a sound, and don't alert the couple upstairs.

Yan Ming found it hard to explain what was happening before his eyes, because he had been warned by a teaching building in the sky.

However, he immediately avoided the sight of the teaching building and retreated back into his room, which allowed him to breathe smoothly again.

The suffocating feeling of having my heart squeezed by something was finally relieved.

No, I have to run!
Yan Ming rushed out without hesitation, barely having time to take anything with him. He only asked the nurse ghosts under the male corpse with the ghost eyes to work together to push the male corpse forward with him.

Since it wasn't time yet, he couldn't control the spy ghost well, so he could only ask the nurse ghost to help the male corpse move.

However, as soon as the door opened, he instinctively shrank back, hiding behind the door with wide eyes.

That damn thing is here.

That ghostly thing was at the end of the corridor, perched on the stairs.

Even with just a fleeting glimpse, Yan Ming still managed to get a general idea of ​​what that thing was.

It was that group of girls who jumped off the school building just before school ended.

"It hurts! Dong Yuxuan, can you hurry up?"

"It hurts so much! Push harder, I can't walk anymore!"

They chattered and made a racket.

They climbed up.
