Having devoted myself to guiding souls, I was surrounded by them after my death.

Chapter 59 Choir

So, is the teacher a malevolent spirit?

No, it's more like it's been tainted by the aura of a malevolent spirit.

Just like when he first met Jiang Liu, Jiang Liu immediately recognized that he was being targeted by a malevolent spirit.

But this aura was too strong; even a level one ferryman like him could sense it.

And it doesn't make any noise when I walk...

"This is too suspicious. Let's be careful."

Chen Shi said:

"However, this school has been haunted by evil spirits for a long time, so it's reasonable that the teachers who work here year-round would be affected by their aura..."

That's all I can think about now.

"Wait, Chen Shi, what time did the teacher just say we should stay in the dormitory and not wander around?"

Su Yining's crimson eyes narrowed, and she suddenly asked.

"9:30? Senior, you're already...wait?"

Chen Shi snapped out of his daze and immediately noticed something was wrong.

After returning to the dormitory at 9:30, students are not allowed to go out, but the choir club requires students to report at 10:00 after evening self-study.

Sure enough, they wanted to hide the choir.

It's obvious that something shady is going on in the choir.

“Go and stake out Class 7 of the second year of high school, then follow the student who was selected to the choir. There’s definitely something wrong there.”

In the following time, to avoid a repeat of the previous situation, Chen Shi hid in the bathroom, while Su Yining stood guard at the door of Class 7, Grade 11.

Anyway, normal people can't see her.

It's quite convenient for ghosts to sneak in; no one can detect what they're doing.

Chen Shi stayed in the bathroom booth, communicating with Su Yining on his phone:

Chen Shi: Senior, is there anything unusual?

Su Yining: No, I'm just a little bored.

Su Yining: Hey! There's a boy in the back row who's secretly reading a novel, and I caught him, hehehe.

Chen Shi: Tell me immediately if you encounter any danger. The ferryman should still be wandering around the campus. If he encounters you, he will probably start a fight.

Su Yining: It's her, a little girl, probably only about 1.5 meters tall?

A young girl? 1.5 meters tall? Looks like she just graduated from junior high school?

Lingyi Temple, I really have to give you guys a shock.

The waiting time was long, and Chen Shi could hear students coming into the private room to hide from evening self-study sessions every now and then.

Some were playing on their phones, some were chatting, some were reading novels, and one even shouted "O God is awesome!"

The private restrooms during evening self-study sessions are always in high demand and short supply.

Fortunately, he arrived early.

Two hours later...

"Ding-ding-"

The bell rang, signaling the end of evening self-study. The students, who had just been suffering from various stomach discomforts, suddenly perked up and rushed out of the restroom in a swarm.

Chen Shi opened his phone and saw that Su Yining was sending him a message every 5 minutes in his chat history:

Su Yining: Report, everything is normal at present x24

Type on the keyboard to send a message:

Chen Shi: Senior, how's it going?

Su Yining: They were still packing their bags and gradually left.

Su Yining: Wait, there's a girl who hasn't picked up her things and is still in her seat. She doesn't seem to be going back.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yining took a photo of a female classmate with an oval face and pigtails.

Chen Shi: It should be her. Keep a close eye on her.

Looking at the time, it's 9:20 now, forty minutes before the choir's registration time, so I'll probably just stay in the classroom.

What choir is reporting so late?

He muttered to himself as he waited.

Half an hour later, my phone vibrated:

Su Yining: Keep up.

Chen Shi immediately left the bathroom, only to see Su Yining standing at the door waving at him:

"Junior, over here."

He hurried forward:

"What about people?"

"It's just ahead."

Su Yining gave a look ahead, and saw a girl slowly walking upstairs about ten meters ahead.

It was the girl with the oval face and pigtails in the photo.

"It's already past 9:30. I just looked around and there are no other students in the teaching building."

Su Yining lowered her voice, like a lurking assassin.

Chen Shi really wanted to say, "Actually, senior, you can speak louder, the other side can't hear you."

"Keep up, senior, you walk in front so she can't see you. I'll keep a little distance and follow you, just in case we get spotted."

"Row."

Su Yining nodded and immediately followed.

Chen Shi then distanced himself and followed Su Yining.

The girl with pigtails walked slowly, as if she was looking for the way, muttering something to herself as she searched back and forth in the stairwell.

The teaching building was very dark at night, and we could only find our way in the corridor by the light of the moon.

After turning left and right, the girl with pigtails finally stopped in front of a multimedia classroom.

"This should be it, right?"

She coughed lightly, opened the door and went inside, but the room was empty except for a few tables, chairs and a projection screen.

Chen Shi followed, and he and Su Yining stared at each other at the door.

Is this it? It doesn't look like a choir room or a place where ghosts hide...

However, the girl with pigtails did not stop, but continued to walk inside and pushed open another inner door.

"Walk."

Chen Shi gave a wink, and he and Su Yining sneaked into the multimedia classroom one after the other, crouching on either side of the inner door.

If you listen closely, you can hear more than one person talking in the room inside the door:

"You're the new member today?"

"Yes, Mr. Hu Lizhang substituted for me in music class today. He said I have a great voice, so he chose me to join the choir. Hehehe."

"Congratulations! Our choir has won many awards, giving us an advantage in evaluations and awards."

"But why choose this time for training? Isn't it curfew after 9:30 in the dorms?"

"Oh dear, because the choir is more focused on competition results, these evening classes are considered special tutoring by Teacher Hu Lizhang. You see, with so many classes on weekdays, there are only two club classes on Mondays, which is definitely not enough for rehearsals."

"Oh, that's true."

"..."

Immediately following was some casual conversation among the students.

Chen Shi and Su Yining exchanged a glance, momentarily at a loss for words.

It sounds pretty normal...

"Senior, why don't you take a look?"

Chen Shi initially wanted to look at it himself, but after thinking about it, he realized that it was more appropriate for Su Yining, as a ghost, to do this.

After all, if it were Su Yining, even if someone saw the door open, they would only think it was just a breeze.

"Excuse me, let me take a look."

Su Yining peeked out and slowly cracked the door open a crack.

However, this sight made her tremble and stumble back a few steps:

"How is that possible!?"

Inside the room, the sounds of conversation could still be heard as usual.

Has Teacher Hu arrived yet?

"He usually arrives at ten o'clock, and he's probably already on his way here."

"..."

Chen Shi helped Su Yining up and asked:

"Sister, what's wrong?"

“Inside…inside…” Su Yining’s beautiful eyes trembled as she looked at him in disbelief.

"?"

Chen Shi simply went over and peered through the crack in the door.

Suddenly... he felt a chill down his back and his palms started sweating.

Inside the room, all the students, including the girl with pigtails, sat upright on a bench, neatly arranged and facing the wall.

Everyone kept their mouths shut; not a single person spoke!

However, the sounds of natural conversation still echoed in the room:

"I'm so nervous. I've never participated in a choir before... I hope I won't let the team down."

"It's okay, keep it up, Teacher Hu has a great eye."

"..."

How is that possible?!

Chen Shi was certain that he was not seeing things.

Not a single student in the room opened their mouth!

Where did that sound come from?

Seeing this, he kicked the door open and rushed inside.

"Oh!"

Without hesitation, Chen Shi burst through the door.
