Chapter 150: Can You See What's Behind Me?
Ji Jie prepared aplenty for this reunion. He rented the most expensive branded clothes and a luxury car. He spent a lot to buy the latest phone model. At 5 am, he took a carpool to the salon to set his hair. Then, he took the subway to fetch the rental car. Since he didnt know how to drive, he even paid his older brother, Ji Fu, to be his driver at a price of 20 RMB per hour.
Who wants to take Zuo Juns bus?
Due to his limited funds, Ji Jie only rented the car for the morning. He planned to arrive at the vacation village and wait for his classmates to arrive. While they got off the bus, he would get his brother to accidentally drive past the bus. Then, his brother would use the excuse of work to leave to return the car. His idea was good, but his brother got the time wrong. Ji Jie entered Han De Private Academy earlier than the rest of Class 13.
To maintain his persona, Ji Jie didnt say anything in the chatgroup. Since he arrived too early, the teachers in the centre uniforms were not ready yet. Therefore, when Ji Jie and his brother approached the students to ask for directions, they were instantly detained by the student council and locked in Hostel Building 6.
At first, Ji Jie was anxious that he might miss the time to return the car. In the afternoon, the car was rented out to a movie company for a shoot. He didnt want to delay their progress. However, after staying there for a while, he stopped being anxious. That was because he realised most of the students in the hostel building were ghosts
Why would you entrap your own biological brother like this? Ji Fu was furious whenever he saw Ji Jies face. He smacked his brothers head. Which day is it already? Have you not found the way out yet?
Eventually, itll work out. Ive always had good luck. You have to trust me. Ji Jie hadnt changed into his school uniform. He was still wearing the branded suit. After all, he didnt have much chance to wear them in his daily life. Yesterday night, there were people checking the rooms but something has disrupted everything today. This will be our chance to escape.
The brothers walked out and suddenly saw a muscular man charging out of the staircase at a crazy speed. When he saw the mans face, Ji Jie froze. He shouted, Gao Ming?!
Just as he recognised the man, he saw Gao Ming throw something at the corner of the third-floor staircase.
You dropped something! Ji Jie and his brother picked up the thing. It was an ugly doll. It was painted with crayons. Before they could study it, footsteps came from behind them. They turned around and were almost frightened to death. A troop of students trampled down the corridor. It was so bizarre.
Run! The fuck are you waiting for? Ji Fu dragged Ji Jie and ran. They had just escaped the bedroom, but they quickly ran back to it. The students split into two groups. The two inadvertently helped Gao Ming.
Whats wrong with your classmate? Why were there so many people chasing after him?
I have no clue! He wasnt this popular back in school.
With nowhere else to go, the brothers returned to their bedroom and locked the door. The students wandered outside the bedrooms for a long time before leaving.
After everything returned to normal, Ji Jie hugged the doll and gave out a long sigh. Things have changed so much. Gao Ming was quite a dullard back then. He turned around and saw that his brother was looking at him in fear. Bro? Is there something behind me? Dont scare me like this.
Ji Fus pupils trembled. He retreated quickly and shouted, Who are you? Wheres Ji Jie? Did I grab the wrong person?
Bro? Ji Jie had no idea what was wrong with his brother. His brother ran so fast away from him that he almost fell out the window. Dont be crazy. Im your little brother, Ji Jie!
Get out! Get out! Ji Fu grabbed the chair and aimed to hit him.
The commotion woke up the other students. Everyone backed off when they saw Ji Jie. Their bodies were stuck to the wall. They started to ramble from fear. Ji Jie appeared to take on different forms in their eyes.
Seeing how crazy his brother and roommates were getting and how they were about to hurt him, Ji Jie was forced to open the bedroom door. He fell straight into the embrace of the strange students. Afraid that the students might enter the bedroom, Ji Jie used the last vestige of his strength to close the bedroom door. His body was captured by the students. The pale faces floated around him. Ji Jie slumped down at the door. He gathered his last bit of courage and whispered, Im a ghost too. Im a poor ghost. I have nothing.
Eight students surrounded Ji Jie. They wanted to drag him to a room on the fourth floor. Ji Jie surrendered to his fate. He followed them obediently. However, as they turned the corner at the stairs, one of the students suddenly screamed.
Whats wrong? Ji Jie hugged his head and knelt on the ground.
The affected student appeared to have woken up from a nightmare. Pupils started to return to his eyes. However, they shook heavily.
His face started to colour with fear. He pulled at his hair and his face madly. He stared at Ji Jies shoulders. He made this incomprehensible sound like there was a fishbone stuck in his throat.
Whats wrong with all of you? Ji Jie looked behind him in fear. He turned around in circles, but he saw nothing. What is behind me?!
The students slowly woke up one after another. Three of them ran away while screaming. Fear seemed to have broken the school rules control over them.
The remaining students shoved him to the fourth floor. Ji Jie stood in the middle of them. Ji Jie held the doll and kept turning his head around. He was very scared.
The student who walked behind him teetered unsteadily. She slowly woke up from her sleepwalking. The girls eyes reflected a doll, but the doll soon turned into a sharp, bloody knife. In the girls eyes, Ji Jies face slowly overlapped with another face. It was the rainy day killer who was shown on the television!
Sister, can you help me see whats behind my back?
Ah! The piercing scream made Ji Jie close his ears. Fear was spreading and infecting more people. Fear expanded in every students eyes. Ji Jie was also very scared.
The queue that led to the special room shortened. The older batches of student council members arrived. They tried to maintain the order, but it was fruitless. In the end, they only captured Ji Jie. The student council officially came into contact with the doll that represented the Fear Illness.
The students are infected by fear! The members with the badge retained their rationality and thoughts. They were different from the other students who were sleepwalking. They were approached by the school rules. Where is the problem?
The student council members turned to Ji Jie. Ji Jie, in his branded clothes, knelt on the ground. He was scared too, but he didnt dare to run.
It should be related to this student. Bring him to our bedroom. The council president will decide what to do. The members picked Ji Jie up from the ground and prepared to bring Ji Jie to the core of Hostel Building 6.
