At six o'clock in the morning, a thin layer of white mist still lingered in the streets and alleys of the old city of Jiangzhou.

The hangover and exhaustion had not yet completely faded from the minds of the citizens.

A large number of Jiangzhou residents' mobile phones vibrated violently at the same time.

In the Parents' Committee Communication Group of Class 2, Grade 3, Affiliated Primary School of Jiangzhou University.

A short video that went viral on Douyin in the middle of the night completely ignited the fragile nerves of parents.

The video footage was extremely shaky.

The photographer was holding a powerful flashlight.

The beam of light sliced ​​through the dense darkness, striking the center of the empty classroom.

The desks and chairs were arranged neatly, and the chairs were empty.

Dozens of blue and white school uniforms from the affiliated primary school were floating in mid-air.

The bright red scarf defied gravity and fluttered back and forth in the windless, enclosed space, looking exactly like a living thing with invisible hands and feet.

The flashlight beam was raised and swept towards the blackboard directly in front of them.

On the blackboard, eight large, crooked characters were dripping a thick, dark red liquid.

[No tardiness during class time]

In the last three seconds of the video, the camera suddenly pans downwards.

Old Wang, the usually kind and approachable security guard at Jiangda Affiliated Primary School, was sprawled out next to the podium.

Old Wang's eyes rolled back, his face was bloodless, his crotch was soaked, and he was still foaming at the mouth.

This short video, only fifteen seconds long, caused a huge uproar in the parents' group.

Zihao's mother: "Parents! Look at this video! This is definitely our children's classroom! I recognize the duty roster next to the blackboard clearly! That's Old Wang, the security guard, lying on the ground! I heard he's still in the ICU at the First Municipal Hospital!"

Ya Xuan's father:

"Zihao's mom, don't spread this negative energy so early in the morning. We live in a scientific society now. In my opinion, this video is mostly special effects. These young people nowadays have no bottom line when it comes to grabbing attention and gaining traffic."

Zihao's mother: "Yaxuan's father, what do you know! My aunt's neighbor is a nurse in the emergency room, and she told me herself! When Old Wang was brought in, he was ice cold all over, with a layer of white ice crystals on his skin! He kept shouting, 'The class monitor is checking homework!' Can that be special effects?!"

Junjie's mother: "Oh my god! My son didn't finish his English homework last night, and he's been crying ever since he woke up this morning. He said a red scarf without hands was knocking on his bedroom window in the middle of the night! Teacher Zhang, Teacher Zhang, are you there? Is school still in session today? We're too scared to send him to school!"

The group chat was in complete chaos, with messages scrolling by at a dizzying speed.

The homeroom teacher, Ms. Zhang, sat on the edge of her bed in her bedroom, cold sweat streaming down her forehead, her fingers trembling slightly as she typed.

She had just received a confidential call from the police station.

The other party demanded that she calm the parents down, and any staff member who leaked the truth would be directly invited for questioning.

Teacher Zhang took a deep breath, copied and pasted the official press release, and sent it out.

Class teacher Ms. Zhang:

"Dear parents, please remain calm."

"We have received an urgent notice from the school's academic affairs office that a large-scale power outage has occurred on campus due to aging wiring in the teaching building. All classes will be suspended today. Parents, please take good care of your children and do not let them go out. Under no circumstances should they go to the vicinity of the school to watch."

Junjie's mother: "Power outage? The whole school needs to be cordoned off with yellow warning tape because of a power outage? This morning when I passed by the school gate, I saw several black armored vehicles without license plates drive in! The people inside were all wearing bulletproof vests and carrying real guns! This isn't just ordinary aging wiring!"

Looking at the questions on the screen, Teacher Zhang felt a wave of dizziness and simply turned off her phone and threw it into bed.

At 10 a.m., sunlight shone on the steps at the entrance of Jiangda Affiliated Primary School.

The golden sunlight couldn't penetrate the pale white mist rising from inside the school walls.

The adults were terrified that the evil spirits were taking their lives.

These third-grade students were overjoyed because they got a free day off.

Several primary school students who didn't have to go to school scurried away from their parents and secretly gathered at the entrance of a milk tea shop, about ten meters away from the police line.

Xiaoqiang, carrying an Ultraman backpack and munching on an old-fashioned popsicle, looked excited.

"Xiao Ming, have you heard?"

"The blackboard in our classroom can write in blood by itself! My dad was so scared this morning that he burned my math Olympiad workbook, saying it was haunted by evil spirits!"

Xiao Ming, wearing black-rimmed glasses, slapped his thigh:

"Good riddance! My mom also smashed my English listening tapes."

"I wish this damn class monitor could stay at our school every day. If classes are canceled today and tomorrow, we won't have to take final exams this semester."

Little Fatty pulled a crumpled math test paper with a zero score from his pocket, his face full of disdain.

"What do you know? I secretly looked at my dad's phone last night, and the clothes floating in the video had a hole in the collar."

"I recognize it clearly, that's definitely our class monitor Li Hua's school uniform! I copied his homework last week and still owe him five yuan. Now that he's a ghost, does that mean I don't have to pay him back?"

Xiao Ming slapped Xiao Pang's chubby forehead.

"Are you kidding me?! Li Hua posted an update in the QQ group this morning saying he was playing King of Glory at home, and those clothes floating around don't even belong to anyone."

"I heard from the top student in the next class that he's the legendary academic devil who specializes in taking kids who don't do their homework underground to do tests. If you get a question wrong, he'll break your hand with a ruler."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoqiang's face turned pale instantly, and the popsicle in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

"I...I haven't finished my picture-writing exercise from last night. Will it come looking for me down the drain in the middle of the night?"

Several children were arguing.

A crisp electric bell suddenly rang out over the high wall from the empty teaching building.

"Ring ring... Ring ring..."

It was 10:10 a.m. This was not the normal time for classes to start or end.

The children immediately stopped talking and all looked at the red brick building shrouded in a light gray mist.

At some point, a small, pale white mask slowly appeared on the window of Class 2, Grade 3 on the second floor.

The mask had no facial features, only two empty black holes.

It was peering coldly down through the glass and through the white mist at the group of elementary school students outside the door.

The little fat boy's legs went weak, and he sat down on the ground with a thud, bursting into tears.

These successors of materialism finally felt the oppressive feeling of exam-oriented education from the shadows.

The online world in Jiangzhou City was also in an uproar.

On Jiangzhou Local Hot Topics, the largest anonymous online community in the region, a post was pushed to the top of the trending topics within just two hours.

Hot post title: [Hardcore analysis of the authenticity of the haunted video at Jiangda Affiliated Primary School! Pictures and evidence included, come and see for yourself!]

Original Poster (ID: The Deepest Affection in the Netherworld):

Brothers, this is definitely the real deal. I tested it frame by frame with professional image rendering software. The red scarf in the video is floating in the air, without any trace of hanging wires or green screen keying.

The strangest thing is the shadow of the security guard, Old Wang. Look closely at the twelfth second; Old Wang is lying on the ground, and his shadow on the wall is upside down! This is clearly a sign that his soul has been forcibly removed!

The replies below were posted at a speed comparable to the speed of light.

[OP, stop spreading alarmist rumors. It's 2030 now, holographic projection technology is so advanced. This is clearly a graduation project by those top students from the School of Optoelectronics at Jiangzhou University.]

To grab attention, they deliberately conducted a field test at the affiliated primary school. Forget it, let's move on and trust in science.

Reply to post #3 (ID: Linjiang Road Night Watchman):

[Don't be a troll, second floor. I'm a student at Jiangda University. These past few days, our entire dormitory building has been experiencing inexplicable power outages, and even cell phone signals have been completely blocked.]

One night, when I got up to use the restroom, I witnessed firsthand how the transformer near the physics department exploded into a massive fireball! Rumor has it that someone was undergoing a tribulation in the school's basement, attracting a celestial lightning strike!

Reply to post #4 (ID: Immortal's Disciple):

[A tribulation? I think it's the work of evil spirits. The area beneath Jiangda Affiliated Primary School was a mass grave back then; the yin energy there is extremely heavy. I suggest the school quickly invite the abbot of a Taoist temple to perform a ritual; otherwise, the entire school's teachers and students will perish.]

Reply to post #5 (ID: Cleaner007):

Please do not believe the rumors circulating online. The official announcement has been issued that the power outage was caused by an aging transformer failure in the power grid.

As for security guard Lao Wang, his sudden epileptic seizure was caused by long-term overwork and lack of sleep. Please do not believe or spread rumors, and let's work together to build a clean and healthy online environment.

The more the authorities try to whitewash the situation, the more suspicious I become. Brothers, tonight at midnight, I'm bringing my high-definition night vision equipment to personally investigate Jiangda Affiliated Primary School! Let's see if it's just aging wiring or if a class monitor is really on duty! Tune in tonight, see you in the live stream!
