"What... what should we do now?" Yi Yan asked Chen Sheng.
Chen Sheng thought for a moment. "This vengeful spirit seems to be trapped in this building for some reason. How about we leave the guesthouse first?"
I had just escaped with my life from the Ghost Gate, and my soul hadn't settled yet; I didn't dare to say a word against it.
So the three of us prepared to go to the second floor and called Li Xiang and the others to join us.
The corridor was pitch black, with only the flashlight in Chen Sheng's hand providing any light.
Recalling the terrifying appearance of the female ghost, I couldn't help but shiver.
Chen Sheng led us down the corridor for about ten meters when he suddenly stopped.
He looked around, his expression serious.
"What's wrong?" Yi Yan asked, puzzled.
Chen Sheng lowered his voice. "Something feels off."
My heart raced, fearing that the female ghost might appear from somewhere again.
"This corridor seems to have a problem," Chen Sheng muttered to himself.
Following the beam of the flashlight, Yi Yan's expression suddenly changed: "Not good! We've encountered the Ghost Wall!"
I grew up in a rural area, where the elders often told supernatural stories.
One of them was about the Ghost Wall.
The elders said that if you accidentally walk into someone else's Ghost Wall at night, you would never be able to get out.
Unless the person who set the wall releases you or you find a way to break it.
Thinking of this, I trembled all over.
Was I really going to be trapped here by this female ghost?
At that moment, Chen Sheng suddenly turned around and said to me, "Yifan, grab my hand."
I was taken aback; although I didn't quite understand, I did as he said.
Chen Sheng grabbed Yi Yan with his other hand and instructed us, "Follow me closely and don't let go!"
With that, he started walking briskly ahead.
I followed closely behind Chen Sheng, nearly jogging to keep up with his pace.
His movements were incredibly fast, as if he didn't need to think at all.
After about seven or eight minutes, Chen Sheng finally stopped.
In front of us was a hallway entrance, and we had finally reached the stairs leading to the second floor.
I let out a long sigh of relief, grateful to have escaped the constraints of the Ghost Wall.
But just then, a familiar voice rang in my ear.
"Yifan! What are you doing!"
I was taken aback; wasn't that Uncle's voice?
How could Uncle be here?
"Yifan! What are you doing!"
It was that voice again, right behind me!
I turned around suddenly, but where was Uncle in the corridor?
All the doors were tightly closed, and the hallway was pitch black; I couldn't see what was ahead at all.
I was completely lost in the Ghost Wall, and now I didn't even know where Uncle was.
I had to get out of here quickly!
Thinking of this, I turned around, intending to go downstairs quickly.
But at that moment, I was horrified to discover that Yi Yan and Chen Sheng had vanished!
Just a moment ago, when I turned around, they were still standing behind me.
How could they both disappear in the blink of an eye?
A bad premonition surged in my heart.
At that moment, the voice came again from behind: "Yifan... Yifan..."
This time I heard it clearly; the voice was coming from behind me.
Moreover, the voice grew clearer, as if it were right behind me!
I was so scared that I couldn't move, my feet felt glued to the ground.
The voice got closer and was unmistakably that of a female ghost!
I dared not look back and desperately ran down the stairs.
I didn't know how long I had been running; the staircase seemed endless, and no matter what I did, I couldn't reach the bottom.
The tension made it hard for me to breathe; I felt like my heart was about to explode.
I glanced up at the emergency light in the stairwell.
The green light was still shining, but the color was growing darker, eventually turning red!
I had seen this type of emergency light in an old house in the countryside; the villagers referred to it as the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern."
It is said that if you encounter something unclean at night, this light will change from green to red.
Thinking of this made me break out in a cold sweat.
No, I need to stay calm.
Uncle never panicked when he encountered strange things.
I must calm down like Uncle did in order to find a way to escape.
As I comforted myself, I continued to run downstairs.
But the sounds behind me grew closer; it felt as if the female ghost was right behind me!
Would she reach out and grab my neck? Or would she simply cling to my back?
When I was a child, the village elders had told me that if you hear someone calling your name from behind while walking at night, you must never look back.
Because there are three Yang Fires on a person's body, once you look back, the Yang Fire on your shoulder will be extinguished by a ghost.
At that moment, you will be completely doomed.
I am in this situation right now; clearly, someone is calling my name from behind, but I dare not turn around.
Fear has taken over my mind, and I can no longer endure this oppressive atmosphere.
I shouted at the top of my lungs.
"Ahhhhh—get away! You get away from me!"
When a person is in extreme fear, they can lose their rationality.
While shouting, I recklessly ran down the stairs.
Just then, I stepped into thin air and tumbled down the stairs.
