"I have some concerns, I’m actually not afraid, I just hate getting dirty! I saw that the slide was too dirty..."
Facing Hua Jinyan’s increasingly impatient gaze, Red Scarf Evil Spirit hurriedly said, "I get to the point! I understand! I’ll say it right now!"
"After those students went down, they didn’t come up for a long time, and we became more and more scared."
"I’m different from them; my family has been in the Feng Shui business for three generations, and I felt something was off right away."
"After all, that area was full of containers, and the emergence of an underground passage was a bit odd. I only thought there might be some kind of burial ground down there, I never considered anything else."
"Until the howling of wolves came from below, I and a few other classmates became frightened. We didn’t dare to go down and wanted to run back, but the stone wall just wouldn’t budge! We were trapped in the cave!"
"The only place to go was the tunnel."
"The howling from below and the screams of the students told us clearly that it was definitely not a good place to go."
"We tried to call for help, but the phone wouldn’t work at all!"
"I remembered the Heart-protecting Mirror my grandfather gave me. He always droned on and on, saying that the mirror could reveal things unseen."
"But I never believed in Ghosts, until I saw one of my classmates in the mirror!"
"I turned around, and my classmate was not behind me at all; he was clearly part of the group that had gone down the tunnel before. How could he be here? Yet when I looked back at the mirror, there he was right behind me!"
"I guessed he was dead, and had become a Ghost!"
"Time ticked away, and we trapped inside began to feel colder and hungrier, not knowing how long it had been."
"Someone suggested going down, I disagreed, but they thought that only by going down to see for themselves could they find a way out!"
"I realized there was only one classmate who became a Ghost, which meant that of the ones who went down, only one had died. I was clinging to the hope that the others had not died, that perhaps they had found an exit. Maybe the wolf howls were just part of a werewolf-themed horror scene—recordings or videos—and the students were just screaming because they were scared!"
"Seeing that everyone chose to go down, I stopped insisting. I followed them down as well."
"But after we went down..." Even though he had become a Ghost, he still felt an overwhelming fear recalling that moment.
"We landed in a sandpit, and the fine dust seemed to be drugged, not long after, we all passed out."
"When we woke up, we were in a wooden hut, and the hut was full of... shredded flesh."
"We didn’t know what this shredded flesh was, until a dog appeared, no, a wolf!"
"A wolf disguised as a dog!"
"Upon seeing us, they lunged to tear and bite us. We had no power to resist, and at the moment of my death, I couldn’t understand why everyone else was dead, yet only one Ghost returned to the surface."
"Later, after I became a Ghost, I figured it out."
"We had turned into Ghosts, but we were trapped in glass bottles, and Talisman Paper was pasted on the bottles, preventing us from leaving."
"I witnessed an old man feed the bottles to the wolves—it was feeding ghosts to the wolves! I panicked in terror, as this meant that not only were our physical bodies devoured by wolves but our souls couldn’t escape them either! There was no chance of reincarnation! My family is all about Feng Shui, I firmly believe in reincarnation!"
"I tried everything I could think of to escape the glass bottle, and even though we were inside, we could still communicate. My classmates all knew my family was into Feng Shui, so they all asked me if there was a way."
"I..." The Red Scarf Evil Spirit frowned deeply, "I couldn’t think of one."
"Then someone suddenly proposed that rather than being eaten by wolves, it would be better to be consumed by one of the classmates. He had read somewhere in some ghost story that if a soul devours another soul, it would become stronger!"
