Chapter 135 Three-way Hide and Seek
Painful and desperate cries rang out in the toilet, revealing strong fear and terror.

Lin Jue didn't say anything else. Holding the dagger, he pushed the door open.

A figure was huddled in the corner of the narrow toilet. It was a middle school student, wearing a school uniform that did not belong to this school. Bruise after bruise could be seen on the exposed skin.

After noticing Lin Jue coming in, the student became even more frightened. His whole body was shaking violently and he kept begging for mercy.

It is a ghost that maintains its rationality. Although its rationality is not as high as that of the old man, it is still rare.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not your mother, I'm a teacher in this school." Lin Jue leaned over and lowered his voice.

The dagger in his hand was not put away. Although the ghost remained rational, it did not mean that there was no danger.

Not all ghosts are like the shop owners who are indifferent to the world and only want to sell goods.

His words did not comfort the student. Instead, they made him even more frightened. He buried his head in his thighs, like an ostrich avoiding danger. "Don't come over! Don't come over! I don't want to play cards anymore! I really don't want to play anymore!"

How afraid is this student of his mother? He has become a weirdo but is still immersed in fear of his mother.

"If you cry again, I will really call your parents and ask them to come to the school to take you back."

Seeing that comfort was useless, Lin Jue changed his approach. This sentence was indeed effective. The student shuddered all over and stopped crying abruptly, but his shoulders were still shaking and he had not yet recovered from his emotions.

After the student in front of him gradually calmed down, Lin Jue asked, "If you answer a few questions for me, I won't call your parents, okay?"

The student didn't answer, but just nodded his head up and down with his head buried between his legs.

The first one is still the old question: how many weird stories are there in the school?

The student said he didn't know because he had been hiding in the toilet since he was brought here and did not participate in any fighting, so he didn't know the situation outside.

This student is as timid as the old man, and he is even less courageous.

Not getting an answer, Lin Jue had no choice but to ask the next question: "How long have you lived in Yongye Tower?"

"I can't remember the time... Anyway, after I woke up in the fog, I was in that building." The student's voice was trembling.

Lin Jue changed the question: "Then you know He Wen, right? She's the blind little girl."

"She knows..." The student finally reacted, a little curious as to why Lin Jue knew about Eternal Night Tower and He Wen. He raised his head to glance at him, then quickly lowered his gaze again: "She is helping to manage Eternal Night Tower now."

Now? Help?
In other words, He Wen is not the manager of Yongye Tower? The real manager left Yongye Tower, so He Wen was asked to help manage it.

"Then who is the real manager?" Lin Jue asked.

The student's voice was so soft that it took an effort to hear clearly: "I don't know him. I've only heard of him. The neighbors call him the building leader. He's very powerful and built the Eternal Night Building to shelter homeless ghosts like us."

Sounds like a very warm-hearted guy.

Lin Jue asked for some more information about the building manager, but the student had never seen the building manager and had only heard many things, so the accuracy of the information remained to be verified.

"I don't know when I can go back. I don't want to stay in this school anymore."

Perhaps it was because the mention of Eternal Night Tower aroused the student's homesickness, and he looked like he was about to cry again.

Lin Jue stood up, walked out of the bathroom, took out the raincoat from his backpack, and returned to the student: "Do you want to go back?"

This was a sane ghost, but also timid and crybaby. As a doctor and teacher, Lin Jue couldn't bear to leave it alone in this terrifying place, so he decided to let it stay with the shop owner. Two timid ghosts together, maybe a negative double negative would make a positive difference.

"Go back?" The student finally exposed his entire face from between his thighs and looked at the raincoat.

"If I'm guessing correctly, you ghost stories can only stay in a specific area and can't leave the triggering area on your own initiative, right?"

Lin Jue expressed his speculation about ghost stories. Although they can ignore school rules, they have certain limitations of their own, which causes them to be trapped in the triggering area of ​​ghost stories like earthbound spirits.

This should be the rule set by the chess player on the strange story side. Since it is a game of chess, the rules cannot only restrict one side.

"Well, we can only leave here when the game starts, but only within the school area." The student nodded, confirming Lin Jue's guess.

Another game.

Lin Jue pondered for a moment and asked, "What is this game? Is it similar to hide-and-seek?"

He also saw the word "game" on the medical record on the table at that time, and now the student mentioned the word "game" again.

"Almost the same, but a little different..." The student nodded. "This game is called Three-way Hide and Seek. It's divided into three camps: the living, the school's weirdos, and our ghost stories."

"From now on, when the twenty-seventh bell rings, it will be a new round of the game."

"At that time, all school rules will be invalidated, and the entire school will turn into a bloody banquet, with the living hiding and the monsters hunting them. However, we, the ghost storytellers, will be able to act freely. We can help the living fight the monsters, or we can choose to devour their flesh and blood."

"But I've never been out. The guy on the hospital bed outside told me about it. I'm not sure if the specific content of the game is like this or not."

The student huddled into a ball, his body shaking as he spoke these words. It was obvious that he was very timid, having been hiding in the toilet since he entered the school.

"The bell rings nine times a day. After it rings twenty-seven times, three days will pass. After three days, it will be a new round of games."

After figuring out all the information, Lin Jue began to persuade the student again: "Although you can't leave on your own initiative, I can take you out. I can promise you that I will take you back to Yongye Tower in the future."

I have to go to Yongye Tower sooner or later. This student is a resident there, and having him around will always be helpful.

The student pursed his lips, first stared at the raincoat, and then looked at Lin Jue with some fear. The reason why he was so scared was not only because of his own reasons, but also largely because of the teacher in front of him.

Don’t be fooled by the teacher’s harmless appearance now. He just brutally killed the guy on the hospital bed outside.

He was afraid that if he got into the raincoat, he would be killed by the other party, and he was also afraid that if he didn't get into the raincoat and angered the other party, he would also be killed.

This is a dilemma.

Lin Jue saw the other party's fear and shook the raincoat in his hand, and the drowsy old man immediately fell out.

"Actually, I'm a very gentle teacher. Respecting the elderly and loving the young is my character, and being kind to others is my way of dealing with people. If you don't believe me, you can ask him."

The old man, who was still a little confused about the situation, first glanced at the student and then at Lin Jue when he heard this. He roughly understood what had happened and opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped.

Lin Jue signaled the other party to speak boldly: "Master, tell me the truth, what is my character like?"

"Dog..." The old man moved his lips, and when he noticed Lin Jue's gaze, his heart shuddered: "He is a good friend, loyal enough, and a brother in his heart. Child, you will never regret following him. He will definitely protect you in times of danger."
