Chapter 937: Your Ghost Story and My Ghost Story
Screams filtered up from underground. Even though the soundproofing was well done inside the Haunted House, Big Ghost and Olâ Zhou heard it clearly.
âSmall Ghost!â Big Ghost pressed the button crazily, but the elevator was stuck on the fourth floor. The elevator only started to move when the screaming stopped.
âI heard the screams from the two students as well. That doesnât sound like theyâre actingâŠâ Olâ Zhouâs voice was filled with fear and concern. âCould we have misunderstood them?â
âShush, they probably purposely led us here.â Big Ghost was anxious. Sister Ghost was missing, and now Small Ghost was in trouble. Of the trio, he was the only one left. âWhen the elevator arrives, if they are not inside the elevator, weâll go down together! This place is not that complicated. If they are leading Small Ghost, they wonât be too far ahead of us!â
âI think we should leave Small Ghost behind. Have either of you noticed this?â Bai Buhui pointed at the warning sign next to the elevator. âWhen the elevator was going down, it stopped at every floor. The two students are very cunning. They are clearly playing with us, hoping that weâll explore each floor.â
The elevator came up slowly. When Bai Buhui was explaining his theory, the door opened, but the three visitors inside had disappeared.
âDonât go in there. The elevator is a completely enclosed space. This kind of space is the most dangerous in a Haunted House,â Bai Buhui reminded them, but the stubborn Big Ghost still entered the elevator.
âIf you want to come along, then be quick. If not, Iâll go down alone.â After hearing that, Bai Buhui stood where he was and shook his head. Olâ Zhou and Duan Yue were conflicted. They knew full well how the four-star scenario would strip people of their disguises and have them explore their truest nature. Therefore, Big Ghostâs personality and attitude aside, at least his concern for Small Ghost was sincere.
âSigh, I guess we will accompany you. Itâll be safer in numbers.â Olâ Zhou hesitated for a long time before making the decision. He and Duan Yue also entered the elevator.
âThank you.â Big Ghost nodded at Olâ Zhou and shot him an appreciative gaze.
âThe three of you have lost your minds.â Bai Buhui pushed on his glasses, and his expression was cold. âIâll wait for you here. Good luck.â
The door closed. Big Ghost looked at the number on the screen, and his expression was stern.
âDonât worry, weâre just visiting a Haunted House. Nothing is going to happen to Small Ghost and Sister Ghost.â Out of kindness, Olâ Zhou tried to console Big Ghost.
âYou wouldnât get it.â Big Ghost turned to look at Olâ Zhou and Duan Yue, and his eyes were starting to get a bit maddened. He pointed at his ear. âIâll tell you a story. If you donât believe me, just forget about it.
âI was in a car accident when I was nine. When I was unconscious, there was a voice in my ears. I think it was apologizing to me. I didnât care about it initially, but after I was rescued, the family of the culprit wanted to get my forgiveness. They came from a less than fortunate background, and the driver died in the car crash. The person supporting the household collapsed, and the mother and daughter had trouble even surviving daily life.
âI forgave them. Then, when the police came to me with the phone recording of the driver, I realized that his voice was the one I heard when I was unconscious!
âSince then, Iâve been able to occasionally hear things that others couldnât. Itâs difficult to make out, but itâs there.
âItâs because of this ability that I dare take Small Ghost and Sister Ghost to places like cemeteries and crematoriums to do our challenges because I know those places are relatively safe.â
The elevator soon arrived at the second floor. Big Ghost looked down the dark corridor, and his expression deepened with concern.
âThat story made me feel some chills, but what does that have to do with this visit?â Olâ Zhou was confused.
âEver since I entered this scenario, many different voices have echoed in my ears. I donât know whether itâs because Iâve lost my mind or because there are too many haunted things hiding here.â Big Ghost looked down the long corridor. He took a deep breath and took out his phone to look at the time. âI have a bad feeling.â
âPeople are kind enough to give you reminders. How can you label them as haunted things?â Olâ Zhou moved his body to look at Big Ghostâs phone. âWhat time is it?â
â9:44. Why did you suddenly ask about that?â Big Ghost was still looking outside the elevator.
âWhether you believe me or not, actually, something scary happened to me too.â
âWhat?â Big Ghost turned back to look, and he saw Olâ Zhouâs expression, which had never been so severe before.
âOne night, I took the elevator alone, and I saw a couple who had their faces lowered inside the elevator.â Olâ Zhouâs face slowly turned place. âI was so afraid, I stood as close to the door as I could. When the door closed, the guy suddenly asked me this questionâwhat time is it?â
âHow did you answer him?â Big Ghost turned his whole body around to face Olâ Zhou. He suddenly felt a sense of dĂ©jĂ vu.
âI told him it was 9:44.â Olâ Zhou slowly lowered his face.
The air in the elevator froze. Olâ Zhou slowly lifted his face, and a nasty gash appeared on his pale face!
âAnd that time became my time of death!â
The door slowly closed, and Duan Yue stood at the door to block his exitâŠ
When the elevator opened again, Big Ghost was already unconscious. Olâ Zhou dragged him out from the elevator and had Duan Yue message Chen Ge and remind him that Big Ghost could hear ghost whispers. Moments later, Chen Ge called. âIgnore the remaining person. Take Big Ghost to the schoolâs nurse office as fast as you can. Doctor Wei and the other doctors are there. Let them take over.â
âWe donât have much time. Can Doctor Wei make it?â
âThe few patients that Doctor Wei cured have all forgotten their painful past. Do you still have doubts about his ability?â
Bai Buhui guarded the door, and soon, he heard the screams of Olâ Zhou and Duan Yue. It was harrowing, hard to imagine what they had been through.

âLooks like they have been tricked by the actors. This is really a man-eating elevator. I canât stay here anymore. Now that I am alone, they will surely come to get me.â Bai Buhui was calm. âCombining the document from Mr. Baiâs supernatural phenomenon observation clubâs reports, the reports about heaven and wishing well were inside the same room, so there has to be a connection between the two. The wishing well is probably the real way out.â
The map that he had seen at the door to the education block appeared in his mind. Bai Buhui took out his phone to call Liu Gang, but it went unanswered.
âWhat is this idiot doing?â He messaged Liu Gang and told him that the library was a trap and that the real exit was the well.
After doing all that, Bai Buhui ignored his previous teammates and ran all the way to the western campus, the location where he remembered the well was.
