Chapter 216 Ghost hits the wall

While the nine departments were quickly mobilized, on Jinniu Mountain, teacher Wang Degui was leading his students through the woods.

"Teacher, is this the right way?"

"Yeah, yeah, why do I feel like I'm standing still?"

Wang Degui was also puzzled:
"We were clearly walking towards the lights at the foot of the mountain, but the distance didn't shorten at all."

This made several students feel cold.

"Could it be the legendary ghost wall?"

"I've also read similar stories, about people being trapped in the middle of the night and unable to get out. It mostly happens in the mountains, and sometimes even on the highway."

"Don't talk nonsense, we may just be unfamiliar with the environment."

Having said that, Wang Degui took out a cigarette and a lighter and lit one.

It is not allowed to smoke in the mountains. If it causes a forest fire, it would be a serious crime.

But if it really is a ghost wall, according to rumors, you can just light a cigarette and walk out.

The reason why these people appeared in the forest instead of going down the mountain along the repaired path was mainly because they were asking for trouble.

After Lin Qiaoya led three students who did not want to continue viewing the scenery down the mountain, several students from Wang Degui's side said they wanted to see what was behind the sign on the other side that read "Under Construction, No Entry".

Wang Degui saw that there was a small dirt road leading up the mountain behind it. Although there was a sign, it should be a place frequented by locals. Besides, Jinniu Mountain was not that big. He could see the farmhouses at the foot of the mountain as soon as he turned around, so there was no need to worry about getting lost.

So Teacher Wang Degui agreed, and the few of them walked around along the path.

But in fact, they didn't really walk far. They just wandered around nearby and decided to go down the mountain when they noticed it was getting dark.

Then they committed suicide again.

Instead of returning the same way, they went straight down the mountain.

The road up Jinniu Mountain is a zigzag round-trip route. According to the group's idea, if they go straight down the mountain, they will see a small path down the mountain not far away. Besides, there is no need to worry about getting lost. After all, they can go down the mountain by just looking in the direction of the setting sun, so they took a shortcut through the forest.

As a result, they couldn't see any way down the mountain no matter how hard they walked, and it was already completely dark.

What's even more strange is that although I can vaguely see the lights below the mountain, no matter how far I walk, I don't get any closer, as if I'm just marking time.

Several people also tried to call for help, but when they looked at the phone screen, the signal column was simply gray, and there was no signal nearby at all.

Teacher Wang Degui is now in a very anxious mood, but anyone can panic but he cannot. He still has to take these children out. How can a teacher panic if he does?

I lowered my head and looked at the small compass on the electronic watch strap on my wrist in the light of my phone. It was completely useless now, spinning in circles like a propeller.

Although Wang Degui did not really believe in unscientific theories such as ghost wall, this scene still shocked him.

Oh shit, could this really be a ghost wall?
Suddenly I had the urge to light up a whole box of cigarettes.

"Teacher, it looks like it's foggy."

The forest was dark just now, but in a short while, a layer of fine white mist emerged between the tree trunks, and seemed to be getting thicker.

"Don't panic, it's normal for fog to appear in the mountains at midnight."

That's true, but running around when it's foggy is not a good idea.

Wang Degui and his men walked forward a few steps and found a place with a wider view, where they could even clearly see the lights below the mountain.

"Let's rest here and wait for rescue." At this point, Wang Degui has given up on going down the mountain on his own. In this situation, staying where he is and waiting for rescue is more sensible than running around.

Xue Wenshu was also among the people trapped on the mountain. He did not follow Teacher Lin Qiaoya down the mountain simply because he wanted to find an opportunity to hold his girlfriend's hand.

There were many people going up the mountain, and Xue Wenshu prepared himself mentally for a long time. Now there were fewer people, and Xue Wenshu was so nervous that his palms were sweating, but he finally succeeded in holding hands.

Li Chengxi's guess was correct. This was all he was capable of.

Although several people were trapped on the mountain and were a little panicked, they did not panic. On the one hand, it was because they could see the lights below the mountain, and on the other hand, it was because Teacher Wang Degui was right next to them.

Hearing him say that they should take a break first, several students who had walked on the mountain road for two hours found a place to sit down nearby.

Xue Wenshu was naturally with his girlfriend Yu Qian. He whispered to comfort her:

"Don't worry, if Teacher Lin and Brother Li find out that we haven't returned, they will call the police and ask them to come look for us."

"Um"

Yu Qian only responded with a single word in a low voice. She was too calm, and even her palms were not sweating, unlike Xue Wenshu who was nervously picking his feet.

After everyone sat down, the fog in the woods became thicker and thicker. Originally, they could barely see things with the moonlight, but now they could not see anything under their feet. Fortunately, they did not move forward rashly, otherwise, moving forward in the complex environment of the mountains and forests, tripping would be a small matter, and falling off the mountain by accident was not impossible.

Time passed little by little, and Teacher Wang Degui lit one cigarette after another. The surroundings were quiet, no one spoke, and even the sound of insects and birds could not be heard.

Teacher Wang Degui suddenly felt a little confused, as if he was half asleep and half awake, and his head was dizzy.

At this moment, his fingers felt painful as the cigarette butt burned them, which made him sober up a little.

"Xue Wenshu? Yu Qian?"

He called the names of the other two students again, but there was no response. They seemed to have just fallen asleep leaning against each other.

But it was wet and cold on the mountain in the middle of the night in October, how could I fall asleep so easily?

Teacher Wang Degui instinctively felt that something was wrong, but his brain was as unclear as if it was covered with a layer of oil. He tried to stand up, but his body seemed to have lost all its strength.

His hands fell down weakly, and the cigarette butt was pressed into the soil. Although he tried hard to open his eyes, he was unable to resist the sudden strong sleepiness and eventually lost consciousness.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Section 9 acted quickly. After all, they had detected the signal before, but had not been able to actually lock it, and they had already arranged people nearby.

A helicopter also quickly flew in from the airport, turning on its searchlight and flying around the mountain.

The people in charge of the search were divided into three groups. One group started searching from the top of the mountain, one group started searching from the middle of the mountain where the observation deck was located, and the last group started searching from the foot of the mountain upwards.

Plus, helicopters fly around the mountain to ensure there are no blind spots.

Such a big commotion naturally attracted the attention of local villagers. Many people said that they were very familiar with the situation on the mountain and could help with the search.

However, this was not simply about finding a few lost people, and Section 9 would not allow the villagers to go up, so personnel from Section 9 specially put on police uniforms and persuaded the villagers to go home, saying that they would definitely find the people.

I just came out to have fun, but ended up running into something like this. It’s hard to say whether my luck is good or bad.

Lei Lei and Aoerdai also followed the people from Section 9 into the mountains. Li Chengxi was asked to stay at the farm house and wait for news.

He was calm at first, but as time went on and he heard the noise of helicopters flying overhead over and over again, he became less calm.

He touched the Ring of Vision on his finger, gritted his teeth, and picked up the flashlight that Jiu Ke had left on the table.
