"That's not the case." I shook my head, a smile appearing on my lips without me realizing it.
In the evening, Wu Yong insisted on treating me to dinner and asked me to bring Lan Lele along.
I hesitated for a moment, but I still called her, and Lan Lele indeed came out.
Wearing light makeup, her small face was breathtakingly beautiful. At the dinner table, Wu Yong showered her with compliments. At the same time, he kept boasting about how amazing I was.
Lan Lele smiled, her gaze occasionally drifting towards me.
After we left, Lan Lele said, "Your friend is quite interesting."
"He's doing it to help me," I said calmly.
"Speaking of which, Li Tongtian is quite something at our school," Lan Lele said, holding my hand and narrowing her eyes. "He's the Student Union president and can even speak to the Principal."
"That's truly remarkable," I said absentmindedly, holding her hand, feeling incredibly happy.
I personally escorted her home. After she waved goodbye, I turned and headed back.
Upon arriving home, I waved the Soul Summoning Bell again. This time, I didn't sleep.
Horror Classroom Section 19
As the eerie sound of the Soul Summoning Bell echoed, the entire room became incredibly gloomy. I waited silently, my gaze fearfully fixed on the door. But after a long time, no one pushed it open.
Just as I was wondering, I suddenly heard a noise from the window. When I turned my head, I was stunned. A figure appeared outside the window. It was a man, staring at me with vacant eyes, covered in bloodstains.
My whole body trembled. My home is on the fifth floor, and there was someone outside the window!
Although I was panicking, I gripped the Soul Summoning Bell and tentatively asked the person outside the window, "Who are you?"
"You're the one who sought me out," the man said.
"Is that so?" My mood settled considerably, and I couldn't help but ask, "How did you die?"
"Someone hit me with a car and fled," the man said.
"What can you do for me?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Anything I can do," the man replied.
"Is that so?" A sudden idea struck me, and I said to him, "I'm short on money. Help me get some."
"Okay," the man said and then disappeared.
Half an hour later, the man reappeared outside the window. He knocked on the window, and a cold hand reached out, holding a black bag.
I shakily took the black bag. Inside was a large sum of money. Seeing this, I was utterly shocked.
This is too unbelievable! Ghosts can actually obey my commands.
Thinking of this, I was filled with excitement. Just as I was about to speak, I saw the man disappear.
Seeing this, I finally understood. He could only help me with one thing. Even so, the Soul Summoning Bell is an extremely terrifying Magic Treasure.
Clutching the Soul Summoning Bell as if it were a priceless treasure, I was incredibly excited. With this, even if I escaped Han Qianqian's pursuit, I could still find a way to get money.
The next day, I was walking down the street when I overheard people discussing the sudden theft at a certain store, where money had vanished into thin air. The surveillance footage showed no one entering the store.
Hearing this, my expression turned grim. After thinking for a moment, I secretly returned home, took the black plastic bag, and then secretly placed it back in the stolen store, slipping away alone while no one was around.
On my way back to school, I accidentally saw a large patch of blood on the ground, with warning signs erected around it. Thinking of this, I realized that the dead man from last night had met his end right here.
Chapter 24: Mother and Daughter Meet
On the way back to the classroom, I was filled with excitement. No matter what, I had finally obtained something unprecedented. The Soul Summoning Bell truly possessed an extremely strange power. Master Du Mo must have relied on this item to subdue ghosts back then.
I lay on my desk peacefully. Wu Yong no longer covered for me, as there was no need for it.
All the teachers had given up on me. In the eyes of many classmates, I had fallen into despair due to heartbreak. Only Wu Yong knew how generous I was in private.
Since Master Du Mo's death, there had been no movement from the school. The construction team that had initially moved in had all withdrawn at this time.
But I knew very well that the school would not let Han Qianqian go. Their objective was the same as ours: no matter what, they couldn't let her leave that abandoned school.
During the third class, Wu Yong patted my shoulder and said, "Someone is looking for you."
I nodded and walked out. When I stepped outside, my expression turned grim.
Han Qianqian's mother was standing in the hallway. Seeing me, she walked over excitedly and said, "I've finally found you."
Looking at her haggard face, I felt a pang of emotion.
This poor mother, how much suffering must she have endured to end up like this? She looked like she had walked here, her shoes were very worn, it was hard to imagine.
Because the school had certainly compensated her family a lot of money to cover up this incident.
But she hadn't enjoyed a single cent of that money. Her weathered face showed that she hadn't benefited from it in the slightest.
"Child, I've finally found you. My husband wouldn't let me come out, so I snuck away," she said, looking at me. She was wearing tattered clothes and looked like a beggar walking down the street.
"How did you find me?" I asked her.
"I called Li Tongtian, and he told me to come find you," she said, looking at me with timid eyes. "I hope you can take me to see my daughter."
"In that case, come with me," I said.
I led her downstairs. She followed behind me, warily looking around.
