Chapter 356 The most ordinary me?
Gao Ming, who was expelled from school, couldn't help but walk deeper into the corridor, but Fan Li grabbed him and said, "Go back first!"

"The Gao Ming in that room is asking for help! He wants to get out!"

"Don't be anxious. What if the person in the room is not Gao Ming, but a ghost?" Liu Yi pressed Gao Ming's shoulder.

"ghost?"

The three of them returned to the house, and Liu Yi closed the door. She waited until there was no sound outside before she dared to speak: "Everyone is unique. His life is made up of countless choices, and it is those different choices that make up the real him."

Clutching his schoolbag tightly, Gao Ming thought about what Liu Yi said.

"The fact that you have become what you are now means that the person who wanted to hurt you has frozen your memory on July 14th. For you, this is the beginning of all changes; for the person who wanted to harm you, this is also an opportunity to correct all the mistakes." Liu Yi continued to analyze for the two: "Depending on the different choices you made, you might have been expelled from school, or you might have committed suicide, so there is also a possibility that you have become a ghost."

Fanli said that the building was haunted. Gao Ming had seen the appearance of a ghost before, with other people's hands and feet growing all over its body. It was creepy and terrifying.

"Even if I become a ghost, I am still myself, right? Can I kill myself?" Gao Ming, who was expelled from school, gradually became excited: "Maybe I can join forces with him, and we can go and kill other ghosts together!"

Liu Yi covered his forehead with his hands. Different choices led to different Gao Ming. The Gao Ming in front of him seemed to be afraid of nothing. He was brave to the point of being reckless and just did it.

"But what if he doesn't recognize any of his relatives and wants to kill you too?"

"If I'm killed by him, will I also become a ghost? Then I won't be afraid of other ghosts, right?" This high-spirited man didn't care about life or death. After learning about the existence of ghosts, his mind immediately became active: "Instead of hiding like a mouse, I might as well become a ghost!"

It was hard to imagine that such words would come out of the mouth of a high school student, and Fanli was shocked.

"You thought you could turn into a ghost and kill everyone after you die, but in fact, the moment you died, your soul was probably eaten as food." Liu Yi frowned and took out a blood-red student union armband from her pocket: "The room at the end of the corridor is far from here, and you can't see too much in one minute. If you really want to check it out, wear this armband."

"what is this?"

"There is a ghost hidden in the armband." Liu Yi said calmly, as if he was talking about something very ordinary: "After wearing the armband, you are no longer considered a living person. The ghosts outside will not go out of their way to trouble you, but if you walk in front of them and are seen by them, you will still be chased by the evil spirit."

"There is only one armband, are you willing to give it to me?" The Liu Yi in Gao Ming's memory is very different from the present.

"I'm not sure what's in the last room, but I have to find out which room Gao Ming's gift box is in, so I have to enter the last room sooner or later." Liu Yi threw the armband out: "You are willing to do it for me, I should thank you."

"Okay, I'll go and take a look." Gao Ming, who was expelled from school, put on the student union armband. He did not listen to Fan Li's dissuasion. He put on his schoolbag, took his weapon, and walked out of the room.

The corridor gave Gao Ming the same feeling as before, shabby, dirty, cluttered with debris, and black stains remaining on the walls.

Gao Ming's family is not wealthy, and he seems to have lived in the old district for a long time.

The voice-controlled light above his head emitted a dim light as Gao Ming walked past one door after another. The closer he got to the door covered with talismans, the faster his heart beat. He forced himself not to be afraid, but cold sweat still flowed down his forehead.

"arrive……"

As if sensing someone approaching, the knocking sounds coming from inside the house kept getting louder. Gao Ming looked at the talismans densely pasted on the door panels and felt as if countless pairs of eyes were looking at him.

"What choice did you make? How could you have ended up like this?"

Gao Ming pressed the door handle but couldn't open the door. He dug out his key but couldn't get it into the keyhole. His body trembled slightly, and Gao Ming slowly raised his hand and tore off a piece of the talisman on the door panel.

There were various symbols painted in red cinnabar on the yellow paper talisman. Gao Ming approached the door panel, leaned his body, and lay on the cat's eye.

……

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

The small room was tidy, and although the furniture was not expensive, it looked cozy.

Gao Ming, wearing a high school uniform, brought out two plates of food from the kitchen. He placed one meat dish and one vegetable dish on both sides of the cake, and took himself a bottle of cold Coke from the refrigerator.

"My parents are both working overtime, and I'm the only one left."

He turned on the TV and randomly found a variety show. Gao Ming had no interest in watching it, but he just thought it would make the home more lively.

After finishing his meal slowly, Gao Ming cut a piece of the cake and tasted it. While eating the cake, he looked to the other side of the table, where there was a big red gift box tied with two ropes, one black and one white.

"Is it a gift from my parents? But today is not my birthday, why is there a cake? And a gift?"

With confusion and expectation, Gao Ming walked to the gift box and was about to open it when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Who's out there this late?"

He looked outside through the peephole and it seemed like someone was walking in the corridor, but due to the dim light and the viewing angle, he couldn't see clearly.

"There seemed to be three people. The student was wearing our school uniform. His back looked like mine... weird, have I seen my back?"

After a while, a piece of paper was stuffed from under the door.

After Gao Ming picked it up, his eyes slowly changed: "This handwriting is exactly the same as mine!"

The contents on the paper shocked Gao Ming, and he suspected that a few crazy people had entered the corridor.

"Is there a ghost in the corridor? Do you want to believe what is written on the paper?"

Life seems to have come to a fork in the road again, and different choices lead to different futures.

"Stay home and wait for my parents to come back? Or go out and talk to them?" After thinking for a moment, Gao Ming quietly opened the door a crack. But as soon as he did so, the voice-controlled lights in the corridor went out, and an extremely ugly monster with many hands and feet on its body rushed out from the shadows at the corner of the corridor, and it seemed that its target was him!
This horror, which he had never seen even in his nightmares, frightened Gao Ming so much that he sat down on the ground. He almost instinctively closed the door.

Gao Ming, who was wearing a school uniform, was so scared that he didn't dare to speak.

No school bullying, no expulsion, no hereditary mental illness, no mess, just an ordinary life, receiving that gift.
