“Ghosts?” Qin Sibo immediately went rigid. His face reflected an overwhelming sense of shock as he still had his doubts about Luo Xing.

Fang Tongtong stood in front of him while Luo Xing was standing behind, leaving Qin Sibo no room to advance or retreat.

But in the end, Qin Sibo couldn’t help but look at Fang Tongtong.

Fang Tongtong’s cheeks were a lifeless color, and seeing that Qin Sibo was gazing at her, she slowly closed her eyes and started crying tears of blood.

She wanted to say something amid her whimpers, however, the closed zipper in place of her mouth couldn’t let her do so, only giving off ununderstandable sobs just like a malicious ghost’s foul wales.

Every time Fang Tongtong perked the corners of her mouth, a great amount of ground meat blood would immediately flow out, soon reaching her chin and dying it the color of murder. Her originally angelic face transformed into an extremely terrifying one.

If the original Fang Tongtong still looked like a person, the Fang Tongtong right now had already looked the same as an evil ghoul.

Ultimately, Fang Tongtong’s horrifying face struck Qin Sibo’s heart silly.

In Qin Sibo’s point of view, this freshman was trying to deceive him since he was most likely a ghost!

Naturally, ghosts wouldn’t be scared by their own kind!

Overall, Qin Sibo was older than Luo Xing, and he could sprint particularly quickly.

He left Luo Xing far behind and dashed to the utmost left side of the school building. There was also another flight of stairs on the third floor.

Qin Sibo arrived at the stairwell and wanted to catch his breath, but seeing what the situation on the stairs was, he stopped dead on his tracks.

In front of him was an extremely unfathomable scene.

The girl with the pigtails blocked the stair’s entrance. Her hands held a thick book as she stood there on the half floor, her back turning on him and her mouth uttering indistinguishable chants.

The girl’s hairstyle as well as her outfit was the same as Fang Tongtong’s.

“That’s right, this must be it! The Tongtong from earlier was a ghost, and the one in front of me is the real one!”

That Fang Tongtong’s mouth was replaced by a zipper, so naturally, there was no chance that it was a person.

Knowing that the girl he desperately admired wasn’t a ghost, Qin Sibo’s eyes flashed a cheerful look.

On the other side of this situation, Luo Xing quickly wanted to catch up now.

While on Qin Sibo’s side, upon seeing the image in front of him, anxiety still crept up in his heart. Finally, he promptly tapped the girl on the shoulder as he urgently yet fondly said, “Tongtong, let’s run away now! There’s a ghost chasing after us!”

Fang Tongtong paid no heed to him and still carried her things, but Qin Sibo worriedly continued, “It’s true! Tongtong, there’s not enough time to stay here! Let’s run away now!”

Qin Sibo stopped convincing her, wanting to pull the girl’s hand and to drag her away to safety.

But when she heard what he said, the girl suddenly turned around.

Qin Sibo’s eyebrows raised in elation from seeing that Fang Tongtong finally agreed to go with him. However, before he could say anything else, the gleeful look on his face abruptly froze.

Fang Tongtong’s face was so pure and beautiful, nothing could compare to her cute nose. And, as for the mouth…

Wait a moment, how could she not have a mouth?!

Qin Sibo was completely stupefied. The mouthless Fang Tongtong was far more terrifying than the Fang Tongtong who had a zipper for a mouth.

That zipper-mouthed Fang Tongtong was only scary, but this Fang Tongtong… Although her mouth was nowhere to be found, her dreadful eyes were as if they were dipped in a deadly poison, brimming with evil intentions.

With only one look at her, Qin Sibo felt like a viper was watching him attentively. Half of his body was frozen stiff, unable to take a single step out of sheer fright.

“Tongtong… Tongtong…” He was stunned as he muttered this, basically unable to comprehend how things led up to this.

Hearing Qin Sibo’s words, ‘Fang Tongtong’ suddenly made a nasty little cackle.

She laughed and laughed as if she were chewing her own tongue.

‘Fang Tongtong’ didn’t have a mouth, but Qin Sibo could hear a strange sound echoing in his ears, “Laughing… Ghost, are you laughing at me?”

“Tongtong… No, you’re not Tongtong…”

Qin Sibo could feel his legs soften a bit, but he was still struggling and asked with great difficulty, “You guys aren’t Tongtong. What have you done with Tongtong!”

“Tongtong, are you talking about that little girl?” The female ghost continued to laugh maniacally as Qin Sibo firmly stared below her nose. The clean piece of flesh was only deathly pale, he couldn’t understand how she made these sounds.

“That little girl, she made an unnecessary racket earlier. It was annoying! By chance, the president was passing by, so he sewed her mouth shut without any trouble. He even gave her face a zipper as an adornment, so that she didn’t have to talk anymore!”

“Impossible… How could she be Tongtong…”

Qin Sibo didn’t dare believe this fact. If that person was the real Tongtong, then before, he…

His heart already couldn’t endure thinking about it.

Qin Sibo was locked in an internal battle. On one hand, he wanted to escape this female ghost, but on the other hand, his legs didn’t obey him and didn’t budge.

At this time, Luo Xing had already caught up to him.

Earlier, Luo Xing saw Qin Sibo was talking to the female ghost from a safe distance, his heart feeling helpless. This senior, how could he not learn from his lesson?

As he ran over to Qin Sibo’s side, the very first thing that caught Luo Xing’s attention was the female ghost’s mouth area. She… didn’t have lips.

There was no hiding place at the end of this corridor, so there was no way to conceal himself.

Behind them, the zipper-mouthed Fang Tongtong was also slowly walking towards them. There was no way to avoid her.

Luo Xing didn’t fully reflect on it and just quickly beelined to the stairs leading to the upper floors, sprinting as he did this.

As he was fleeing, he pulled Qin Sibo when passing by. Unexpectedly, Qin Sibo’s movements were sluggish, but he summoned up his courage and daringly kicked the female ghost down the stairs. Then, he changed directions and ran behind Luo Xing.

In a flash, they’ve reached the fifth floor.

Standing on the fifth floor’s hallway, Luo Xing didn’t cease his moving feet.

He briefly looked at his surroundings from left and right as his feet didn’t slow down and rushed towards a place where there were stairs.

The school building had six floors and a total of three staircases. They still had a chance to rush out of there and avoid being surrounded by the two female ghosts to succeed.

While they were running for their lives, Qin Sibo heavily panted, “Freshman… What’s going on here? Do you know something?”

Qin Sibo finally didn’t believe that he was a ghost, which made Luo Xing relieved.

In actuality, he thought it over one more time. His actions from before were a bit shocking. Saying those kinds of words in that kind of situation, no wonder Qin Sibo would assume wrong.

Considering that he’s been running away with Qin Sibo for a while, maybe they could help each other. If he didn’t cooperate, it would also pose some inconvenience.

So, Luo Xing didn’t hide anything and bluntly said, “Senior, have you heard of a girl dying in school? The one where she died inside the dorm and the only thing left of her was her head.”

“I- I did!” Qin Sibo hurriedly said, “Could it be that she… she was also murdered by ghosts?”

Since he had just experienced a terrifying thing, Qin Sibo had wholeheartedly accepted that there were ghosts in this world.

Seeing that Qin Sibo has recognized reality, Luo Xing straightforwardly told him many things, “That’s right. The deceased was slaughtered by a malicious ghost. The school right now is haunted and there have already been a lot of people murdered by them!”

Qin Sibo didn’t doubt Luo Xing’s words due to him already having a first-hand encounter with a ghost.

However, with his mind full of fear and remorse, Qin Sibo breathed heavily as he said, “Then freshman, when a ghost persecutes a person, do they still have a chance of…”

Qin Sibo was only halfway finished when Luo Xing cut him off, “Senior, do you want to save Tongtong? It’s useless. If a ghost harms a person and they haven’t died, they would also soon turn into ghosts themselves.”

“To be honest, senior, with her turning into that, do you still think that she’s a person?”

Qin Sibo was dumbfounded. The image of Fang Tongtong’s bloody face was something he could never forget. He felt dread towards this Fang Tongtong, but he also couldn’t describe it and felt sorry for her.

“I- I…”

Qin Sibo didn’t say anything else and only believed that the him right now was an extreme hypocrite.

It was difficult to bear by Qin Sibo’s heart, but the only thing that Luo Xing was concentrating on was their escape.

They were lucky that when they ran to the rightmost staircase of the building, they didn’t find any female ghosts there.

Luo Xing followed the stairs to the third floor in a rush, intending on sprinting until the ground floor.

Unfortunately, when he reached the second floor, he saw the mouthless female ghost standing by the stair’s area, still nastily cackling. The entity with disheveled hair rushed towards them.

In response, Luo Xing turned around and ran to the third floor, planning on finding another set of stairs on it.

As he was running down the stairs, Luo Xing promptly asked, “Senior, how do you guys get out when the school is locked? Do you guys leave through the restroom?”

“Yes, there are windows in the restrooms. We usually crawl out of the windows to get out!”

“Is it the male or female restroom?”

“Both can be used!”

Hearing Qin Sibo’s answer, Luo Xing felt that the way out was the male restroom.

With Ye Shangyu and Bai Yan scouting the way out, he already knew the game’s patterns, so he couldn’t make any mistakes.

The way to survive was already clear, so Luo Xing’s heart became more settled as he ran to the middle stairwell.

Thinking that they were almost overtaken by the female ghost just now, Qin Sibo was in a state of both panic and doubt.

He saw that Luo Xing still wanted to go down the stairs, so he said in fright, “Freshman, let’s simply take the elevator down. The female ghost must be waiting for us in the stairs and blocking our way. Maybe we could take the elevator!”

“No, the elevator’s space is too small. Moreover, if the female ghost was waiting for us by the elevator door, we would surely be dead!”

Luo Xing readily refused his suggestion and led Qin Sibo down the stairs and to the first floor.

Fortunately, the female ghost wasn’t standing at the stairs.

Luo Xing rushed through the hall and quickly spotted a restroom.

He looked at the sign above, it was the men’s restroom.

As a result, he brought Qin Sibo with him and ran inside. As Qin Sibo closed the door without trouble, he suddenly discovered that there was something wrong——

“Senior, is this the men’s toilet?” Luo Xing asked in a pressing manner.

“Men’s toilet? Isn’t this the women’s toilet? How could there be a men’s restroom like this!” Qin Sibo hastily said, “Freshman, don’t think about this. Let’s quickly run!”

Luo Xing didn’t answer nor did he take another step. He immediately raised his head and saw the window. As if his heart had a premonition, a person was standing outside the window.

There was a ‘person’ sticking closely on the toilet window’s glass, looking inside. Who knew for how long he had been standing there outside.

“It’s the president…”

Luo Xing said in a discouraged tone, knowing full well that he couldn’t run away from this.

On the other hand, Qin Sibo wanted to ask why Luo Xing wasn’t moving but heard a violent knock on the door behind them. Barely a second after, the door suddenly burst open.

Outside the door, the zipper-mouthed Fang Tongtong was standing there. Her eyes had lost their living hue, becoming the same as the female ghost.

But, what drove him into deeper despair was on the toilet’s door, the mouthless female ghost poked its head out, fixing its miserable gaze right at them. It was an ambush in the restroom, and they were just waiting for them to come in on their own.

T/N: Wow I got scared when they saw the president through the glass. I could just imagine that the president showed a dark face as he stuck his face against the window like a creepy stalker, just waiting for them to fall into his trap.
