A complete concept-level outfit, not even sparing the red-clad female ghost.

Zhou Tian's physical condition is still that of an ordinary person.

However, after mastering the Rainbow Robe, his perception of supernatural auras became much more acute.

"Dad, be careful."

Zhao Qian lowered her voice, her right hand already resting on the ghost staff at her waist.

The two went into the bathroom.

This is the standard configuration of an old-fashioned school.

There are five cubicles in a row, with a sink at the very back.

Zhou Tian was about to go in when he suddenly stopped.

"Waaaah..."

A faint sobbing sound suddenly came from the women's restroom next door!

Zhou Tian and Zhao Qian turned their heads at the same time to look at the entrance to the restroom.

The sound was very soft and intermittent, as if someone was trying hard to suppress their sobs but couldn't control them.

In the deathly silence, the crying sounded exceptionally clear and eerie.

"Not this cubicle..." Zhao Qian looked at Zhou Tian, ​​her eyes questioning.

Zhou Tian shook his head, signaling her not to move.

The two held their breath and listened intently.

The crying continued, and it was definitely coming from the women's restroom next door.

And it sounds...like a young girl's voice.

"Let's go take a look," Zhou Tian said in a low voice.

Zhao Qian nodded.

Before tiptoeing out of the stall, the two turned and headed towards the bathroom door.

The corridor remained deathly silent, with only intermittent sobs coming from next door.

Wandering in the empty space added a touch of desolation and eeriness.

Zhou Tian and Zhao Qian exchanged a glance, and both of them got ready at the same time.

Zhao Qian gripped the ghost stick tightly in her right hand and slowly reached for the doorknob with her left.

three.

two.

One.

Zhao Qian suddenly flung open the bathroom door!

"Who?!"

The moment the door was fully opened, the two rushed inside.

The ghost staff was held horizontally in front of him, and a very faint red light emanated from his body.

Then, both of them were stunned.

And huddled up next to the sink at the very back.

She was a girl wearing a blue and white school uniform.

She was curled up on the floor with her back to the door, her shoulders heaving, and she was sobbing softly.

The school uniform was a bit disheveled, the hem of the skirt was covered in dust, and the white socks were dirty.

Upon hearing the door open and Zhao Qian's demanding question, the girl's crying stopped abruptly.

She slowly turned her head.

It was an extremely beautiful face.

Her short hair reached her ears, with the ends slightly curled inwards, making her face appear small and delicate.

Her skin was fair, and her eyes were large, but they were red and swollen from crying, with teardrops still clinging to her eyelashes.

Her nose was straight and upturned, and her lips were thin and pink, trembling slightly at the moment.

She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, the age of a high school student.

Her facial features combined create a pure yet fragile beauty that evokes a sense of tenderness in those who see her.

However, neither Zhou Tian nor Zhao Qian let their guard down.

It is highly unusual for a girl in a school uniform to appear in a school that has already been sealed off and is considered haunted.

"Who...who are you?"

The girl asked timidly, her voice still trembling with tears.

His eyes scanned back and forth between Zhou Tian and Zhao Qian.

Finally, the ghost stick that landed in Zhao Qian's hand visibly flinched.

"Father, do you think this is a human or a ghost?"

Zhao Qian lowered her voice, her eyes warily fixed on Lin Xiaoyu, who was huddled by the sink.

Zhou Tian did not answer immediately.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully examining the girl who claimed to be a student.

Although the school uniform was dirty, it was indeed the style of No. 3 Middle School.

With short, ear-length hair and a delicate face, her large, red, swollen eyes were filled with fear and unease.

She looks like an ordinary high school girl.

But in this locked-down, haunted school, anything "ordinary" seems suspiciously suspicious.

"It should be a person."

"I can't sense any supernatural energy emanating from her. If she were a vengeful ghost in disguise, she couldn't be this clean."

Zhao Qian added another sentence, lowering her voice even further.

Zhou Tian nodded.

He couldn't actually sense any supernatural power in Lin Xiaoyu.

Moreover, the rainbow-clad figure in the shadows did not issue any warning.

"Let's ask first."

As Zhou Tian spoke, he took two steps forward.

His movements were natural, showing neither excessive vigilance nor complete relaxation.

"Little girl, don't be afraid."

"We are from the official paranormal response center, here to investigate the situation."

Why are you here alone?

Zhou Tian spoke up.

Lin Xiaoyu looked up at Zhou Tian with teary eyes.

Her lips were still trembling slightly, as if she hadn't recovered from the shock.

"I...I'm Lin Xiaoyu, from Class 2, Grade 12..."

She spoke softly, her voice trembling with tears.

"A week ago, I was in the classroom for evening self-study, and then...and then..."

As Lin Xiaoyu finished speaking, she suddenly shivered.

Extreme fear flashed in her eyes, and she shrank even further.

"And then what happened?"

Zhou Tian pressed for an answer.

"Then... I heard strange noises in the hallway... so... I went out to take a look out of curiosity..."

Lin Xiaoyu's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

"The result...the result I saw...I saw..."

She suddenly covered her face, her shoulders trembling violently.

"What did you see?" Zhao Qian stepped forward, her tone serious.

"I saw...a ghost killing people..."

Lin Xiaoyu squeezed out these words through her fingers, her voice filled with despair.

"Right in the fourth-floor bathroom... a girl in white was floating in mid-air... her hand... her hand went straight through another girl's chest..."

"I...I was so scared my legs went weak, I wanted to run, but I couldn't move..."

"Later...then the ghost seemed to notice me, glanced in my direction...and I...I ran for my life, and hid here..."

"Then...it got light, and I wanted to go out, but I heard noises outside and I was too scared...so I've been staying here ever since..."

After Lin Xiaoyu finished speaking, she almost collapsed to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

Zhou Tian and Zhao Qian exchanged a glance.

Fourth-floor restroom?

That was the very place where the first student went missing.

Are you sure you saw it in the fourth-floor bathroom?

Zhou Tian confirmed.

"Yes...it's absolutely true..."

Lin Xiaoyu nodded vigorously.

"What does that ghost look like? Besides being dressed in white, what other distinguishing features does it have?"

Zhao Qian pressed for more information.

"I...I didn't see clearly...I was too scared at the time...I only remember that her hair was very long and covered her face...her hands were very white, frighteningly white..."

As Lin Xiaoyu recalled, her body began to tremble again.

Zhou Tian remained silent for a few seconds.

Then, he looked at Zhao Qian.

"Take her to the fourth floor to have a look."

"Father, this..."

Zhao Qian hesitated.

"If what she said is true, then there might still be clues at the scene. If what she said is false..."

Zhou Tian didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was clear.

Lin Xiaoyu's identity is too suspicious.

An ordinary high school student witnesses a vengeful ghost committing murder.

Not only did they successfully escape, but they also managed to spend a night in a haunted school?

The probability is too small.

But Zhou Tian wanted to verify it himself.

"Okay." Zhao Qian nodded.

She walked up to Lin Xiaoyu and extended her hand.

"Can you stand up? We need you to take us to the scene."
