After a while, everyone got used to the darkness. The five of them immediately walked downstairs step by step. However, after they went down two floors, they looked up and realized that the building number was still on the fourth floor.
After a long time, they walked for a few minutes in vain and kept walking in circles.
"What if I can't go on?"
Because of Chen Yu's fortune-telling and the fact that he had suddenly taken the willow branch to save them, Wang Xiaoya had already treated Chen Yu as a Taoist priest or a heavenly master in her heart. She immediately turned her head and asked.
"This is a ghost wall. That female ghost in red has blinded our sense of direction. We feel like we're going down the stairs, but we've actually been walking in circles.”
Chen Yu said after thinking for a moment. He then handed the peach wood sword he had stabbed at his waist to Wang Xiaoya, who was leading the group not far away.
"This is a peach wood sword?"
Wang Xiaoya immediately recognized this yellow wooden sword that was less than a foot long when she saw Chen Yu handing it to her.
"Yes, the peach wood sword. Peach wood was the essence of the five trees. A sword made of peach wood had the magical effect of guarding houses and warding off evil spirits. Although this peach wood sword was not made of thousand-year peach wood or thunderstruck peach wood and was only made of ordinary peach wood, it should be able to break through this ghost wall.”
Chen Yu explained.
"Alright, I got it!"
Wang Xiaoya held the mahogany sword in her hand and continued to lead the way. Xu Li, Zhou Jie, and Zhao Yan followed behind Wang Xiaoya. Chen Yu walked at the back, constantly paying attention to his surroundings.
Sure enough, the ghost wall lost its effect on Chen Yu's group of five this time. After everyone descended the first floor, they arrived at the third floor.
"Deng Deng Deng!"
However, at this moment, the crisp sound of a girl's high heels stepping on the stairs came from the first or second floor.
"That's great. Someone's here. We're saved!”
Hearing the sound of empty footsteps coming from downstairs, Zhao Yan said happily.
"How do you know if he's a human or a ghost?”
Chen Yu frowned when he heard Zhao Zhan's words.
"Then what should we do?"
After giving the matter some thought, Zhao Nandi felt that Chen Yu's words made sense. After all, why would a normal person come to this terrifying old dormitory building at night?
"Charge down! We have willow branches."
Chen Yu said.
"Charge…Charge down? Will this work?"
Hearing Chen Yu's words, Xu Li, one of the four girls, said fearfully.
"Even if you can't, you have to. Just now, when you entered dormitory 404, that female ghost in red had already pestered you. If you enter dormitory 404 again, I'm afraid you will all die there.”
Chen Yu said. Earlier, when these girls were inviting the Dish God, he had already noticed that besides the red-dressed female ghost, there were four other ghosts around Zhao Neng and the others.
Those four ghosts were just ordinary ghosts, unlike the female ghost in red who was a malicious ghost. They could not appear in front of ordinary people, so Wang Xiaoya and the others did not see them.
"Five! Alright, let's go down."
Chen Yu's words gave Xu Li a fright and she immediately agreed.
"Give me the peach wood sword. I'll take the lead.”
Chen Yu frowned when he saw Wang Xiaoya, who was walking in front of him, looking a little scared.
These were the only two things he had on him that could deal with the female ghost in red. The willow branch probably wouldn't be of much use. Judging from Wang Xiaoya's current state, even if he gave her the peach wood sword, it wouldn't be of much use. Therefore, Chen Yu took the initiative to speak.
"Alright."
Wang Xiaoya knew her own business. If she met a ghost, she would be so scared that she did not turn around and run, let alone deal with the ghost.
Chen Yu caught the peach wood sword that Wang Xiaoya handed over. The four extremely terrified girls hid behind Chen Yu and grabbed his clothes. The five of them walked up to the second floor step by step.
However, when they went down to the second floor, everyone realized that the footsteps in the corridor had disappeared.
"What happened?"
Chen Yu was puzzled when he saw the female ghost in red disappear.
What he did not know was that he had been practicing boxing for eight years, and because he had cultivated the Eight Extremities Fist, the blood and Qi in his body were much more vigorous than that of ordinary people. If ordinary ghosts were to get close to him, they would melt like snow that had been baked by the sun for a long time, not to mention that he was holding a peach wood sword and a willow branch in his hands.
Moreover, the five of them were gathered together, so their blood essence was naturally even more vigorous.
Due to various reasons, this female ghost in red didn't wish to clash head-on with Chen Yu. Therefore, she temporarily retreated.
When the group of five arrived at the first-floor hall of the old dormitory building, they saw the dormitory's main entrance not far away and the dim yellow light shining through the glass window. The four girls following behind Chen Yu couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. After a series of twists and turns, they had finally escaped.
After scrambling to open the door to the old dormitory building, the four of them walked out of the building that had almost cost them their lives. Putting aside the four girls 'happiness, Chen Yu felt that something was amiss. The process of completing his mission seemed to be too simple. There weren't any twists and turns at all.
"Hey, that's not right! Where did Xiao Ya go?"
Standing in front of the old dormitory building, a few girls cried tears of joy. Suddenly, the other three girls realized that Wang Xiaoya, who had come out with them, had suddenly disappeared after leaving the old dormitory building.
Hearing the girls 'words, Chen Yu's expression immediately changed. He turned around and saw that Wang Xiaoya, who had followed him out earlier, had already disappeared.
"Look, where?"
Suddenly, Zhou Jie pointed at the fourth floor in fear.
Chen Yu's gaze followed Zhou Jie's finger. Immediately, his expression changed. This was because the female ghost in red was currently standing by the window of Room 404. She was looking at Chen Yu's group of four downstairs with an icy expression. Beside her was Wang Xiaoya, who had a dull expression on her face as if she had been possessed. The female ghost in red and Wang Xiaoya slowly waved their hands at the same time, gesturing goodbye to everyone.
"You guys wait here. I'll be back soon.”
Chen Yu immediately gritted his teeth. He knew that the mission wouldn't be completed so easily. When Wang Xiaoya handed the mahogany sword to Chen Yu and the five of them went down the stairs together, Wang Xiaoya had probably been replaced. The person following behind Chen Yu just now was probably that red-dressed female ghost.
Then, without any hesitation, he rushed into the old dormitory building.
He had only rescued three of the four girls in the mission. He would not be able to complete the mission, so he had to rescue Wang Xiaoya.
"Wait…"
Seeing Chen Yu rush into the old dormitory building, Xu Li, one of the three girls, called out. However, as soon as she spoke, she recalled that her good friend, Wang Xiaoya, was in danger. If Chen Yu didn't save her, Wang Xiaoya would be dead for sure.
After Chen Yu left, the three anxious girls waited for 15 minutes. Finally, under the three girls 'watchful gazes, the old dormitory building's door opened and Chen Yu walked out with Wang Xiaoya, who was limping.
"How is it? Are you alright?"
Seeing that Chen Yu and Wang Xiaoya had returned safely, Zhao Yan anxiously walked up to Chen Yu and looked at Wang Xiaoya worriedly.
"She's fine. It's just that when she was running down the stairs just now, she accidentally fell.”
Chen Yu said as he handed Wang Xiaoya over to her three good friends to take care of.
"Xiao Ya, what happened to you just now? Why did he suddenly disappear?"
Xu Li walked up to Wang Xiaoya and asked curiously.
"I dropped my flashlight just now, so I turned around to pick it up. When I turned around, I realized that all of you were gone. I was the only one left in the stairs. I looked everywhere for you, but I couldn't find you no matter how hard I tried. There were corridors everywhere.”
Wang Xiaoya replied as she rubbed her injured knee. After which, she turned her gaze toward Chen Yu.
"My name is Chen Yu. I'm a sophomore in the History Department.”
Chen Yu said speechlessly. It had already been so long before he finally remembered to ask for his name.
"Then, that means that you, who was standing beside Senior Sister Red Shirt just now? It's not you?"
Xu Li said thoughtfully.
"What 'that you'? Who are you talking about?”
Wang Xiaoya was puzzled.
" She said that just now, there was a 'you' standing beside the female ghost in red at the window of Room 404.”
Chen Yu explained to Wang Xiaoya.
"That wasn't her. It should have been created by another ghost to lure us. If I thought she was inside and barged into Room 404, I might not have been able to come back tonight.”
Chen Yu pointed at Wang Xiaoya before turning to Xu Li.
Fortunately, he was careful just now. After entering the old dormitory building again, he did not go to Room 404 first. Instead, he looked around and found Wang Xiaoya trapped in a corridor on the third floor of the old dormitory building. Wang Xiaoya seemed to be unable to see the surrounding road and kept walking around. This was another ghost wall.
Fortunately, Chen Yu arrived in time and rescued Wang Xiaoya.
However, when they were going downstairs, they encountered the female ghost in red who suddenly appeared and stopped them. Reality proved that the female ghost in red was indeed a malicious ghost. The mahogany sword Chen Yu took out only managed to stop her for a moment.
As for Chen Yu's body, the exuberant blood essence that was extremely fatal to ordinary ghosts did not have the slightest effect either.
Fortunately, they managed to escape with the peach wood sword.
"Then why did Senior Red Sister lead you to Room 404?”
Hearing Chen Yu's words, Xu Li became even more puzzled.
" Because Dormitory 404 was the place where the female ghost in red died tragically. As more people died there, it had become a 'dangerous place.' Anyone who barged in would have a hard time coming out. There was a high chance that they would become a corpse.”
Chen Yu voiced out his guess.
After hearing Chen Yu's explanation, the four of them couldn't help but feel glad that they had escaped alive after playing the Dish God in Room 404.
"My name is Wang Xiaoya, this is Xu Li, this is Zhou Jie, and this is Zhao Nini. We are all freshmen from the Literature Department. Thank you for saving us tonight.”
Wang Xiaoya introduced them one by one.
"Okay, you have to be careful these few days. Do you still remember the fortune I read for you yesterday morning? Although I helped you escape from the old dormitory building, the female ghost in red has already pestered you. Oh right, I still have something to do, so I'll be leaving first.”
Looking at the time, Chen Yu found that it was already past 2 AM. He still had two classes tomorrow morning. Immediately, Chen Yu hurriedly left after giving his instructions.
"What? You're so ungentlemanly. You don't even know how to send us girls back to the dormitory.”
Zhou Jie grumbled as she watched Chen Yu's departing figure.
"Zhou Jie, stop complaining. He's not even our boyfriend, so he has no obligation to send us back to the dormitory! If it weren't for him, it would have been difficult for us to leave this old dormitory tonight.”
Hearing Zhou Jie's words, Wang Xiaoya spoke up for Chen Yu.
"Yeah, he doesn't have a girlfriend. Xiao Ya, can you be his girlfriend?”
Seeing Wang Xiaoya defend Chen Yu, Zhou Jie teased Wang Xiaoya.
"Xiao Ya, Zhou Jie, let's go! After Chen Yu left, I felt that this place was so cold!”
Xu Li, who was beside him, did not know if it was an illusion, but she felt that the temperature of the surrounding air had dropped a lot.
"I have the same feeling."
Zhao Nandi also crossed his arms and echoed.
Immediately, the four of them didn't dare to stay any longer. Following behind Chen Yu, they returned to the dormitory building.
However, the four girls were scared out of their wits along the way. This was because the effect of the cow's tears Chen Yu had them apply to their eyes was still present. They actually saw a few ghosts along the way.
This scared the four girls out of their wits. They ran back to the girls 'dormitory building as fast as they could fly.
Wang Xiaoya's legs were already inconvenient because of the fall, but she fell down again and again on her way to escape.
Of course, this was the same for Chen Yu. However, because he had seen the malicious ghost, the female ghost in red, these ordinary ghosts were nothing.
