The Old Men

The Ghosts can not be killed

Only ghosts can deal with ghosts. 　　

Insight into the laws of ghosts. 　

But the students in the evening self-study class looked at each other. "Is this person really here to give a lecture? Could it be some crazy person who came out of nowhere? He's just saying things we can't understand to fool us." Some students shook their heads below to express their disbelief in what he said. Other students started whispering and even laughing out loud. Clearly, most people didn't take Zhou's words to heart.

Only Ethan's face became solemn because of the story from the forum yesterday and the unsettling feeling caused by the photo, coupled with this strange remark from the man... Could it be that the world is really undergoing some changes unknown to him? After Zhou wrote down the three sentences, he didn't say anything more. Instead, he used his tired, bloodshot eyes to scan everyone in the room. "Students, if you have any questions or if anything strange happens around you, you can ask me. I will answer you. If there are no questions, then today's safety lecture is over." But there wasn't a single student who wanted to ask. "Should we ask about the situation with that old man's photo?" Ethan's expression changed, and he took out his phone, opened the forum, and scrolled back to the photo of that old man. However, just as he hesitated, the lights in the classroom suddenly dimmed, and the entire room became somewhat dark. "Hmm?" Ethan's expression on the podium subtly changed, immediately becoming highly alert. Yang Jian instinctively looked up, but when he unintentionally saw a figure outside the classroom corridor through the window, his eyes widened in an instant. His whole body tensed unconsciously, and an extreme sense of fear surged from his heart, quickly enveloping his entire body.

At this moment, he even lost consciousness in his body. Outside the window, a person dressed in a black robe with patches of corpse spots on his face stood stiffly there. His gray and lifeless eyes were devoid of any spirit as he looked towards the classroom, like a cold corpse standing upright. Around that old man, it was pitch black without a trace of light. The corridor lights seemed to have completely gone out at this time, and a dense darkness, like mercury, rapidly encroached upon the classroom. The walls near the old man aged at a visible speed, as if years had passed in an instant. Freshly painted surfaces became covered in moss, the wall plaster turned black, and cracks appeared. A gloomy and decaying smell gradually permeated the air. "That's the old man from the forum story... It's impossible, how is he here?" Ethan's palms turned white due to excessive force as he tightly held his phone. The screen of his phone displayed the photo of that old man, who looked exactly the same as the one outside the window, only the one outside was even more terrifying than the one in the picture... Then, in a fit of fright, he stood up directly from his seat, and due to his excessive excitement, he even overturned his chair. Because of his extreme reaction, all the other students in the class looked at him in unison. "Ethan, why are you standing up? Sit down immediately and don't disrupt the classroom discipline." Teacher Wang shouted from the back. But at this moment, Yang Jian didn't hear anything. His terrified eyes were fixed on the black-clothed old man outside the window. That old man moved... His stiff body turned mechanically, and his gray and lifeless eyes, without any focus, simply followed his head. "Da, dadada~!" The crisp footsteps without any echo resounded outside the corridor, faintly entering the classroom. "Is he going to leave?" Cold sweat broke out all over Ethan's body, and he fervently hoped that this old man would leave and not come in. If the story from the forum was true, then if this old man entered... the consequences were unimaginable. But contrary to his wishes, the old man didn't leave. He just took a few steps and finally stood in front of the classroom door. "Yang Jian, sit down. Haven't you heard what I said? How dare you disrupt the safety lecture?" Teacher Wang became somewhat stern.

"Ah~!"

At this moment, a female classmate let out a scream, pointing at the book on the table, too scared to speak. She saw the book on her desk rapidly turning yellow, then moldy, then rotting.... until it finally turned into a pile of black rot. "It stinks, Lei, why is there a pile of shit on your desk?" Sam said, pinching his nose. But a male classmate called Jing next to him turned pale and quickly stood up, stepping back several steps. "Jing, what are you screaming about?" Teacher Wang was very angry. What's wrong with the usually disciplined students in his evening self-study class today? On the podium, Zhou's eyes squinted, full of vigilance. The previous haggardness was swept away, and he became a bit violent and fierce, like a beast out of its cage. He was staring at Jing.

Jing, however, showed an unusual calmness. "It seems you know a lot. Are you also a ghost whisper?" Zhou said. "Zhou, it's none of your business." Then Jing stared at Ethan with a fierce face: "It's all you, you brought all this. I should have killed you earlier, otherwise it wouldn't have turned out like this, and your future is too scary." Ethan looked at Jing with some confusion, not understanding his words, but what he cared more about was the old man in a black shirt standing outside the classroom. The other students were shocked to hear this. "Holy shit, Jing, your words just scared me." "What is a ghost whisper? You guys are talking strange, I can't understand at all, is there anyone who can explain it to me." "Jing seems to know the inside story, please take care, I feel something is wrong, I don't know if it's just me." "It's over, it's over, what's happening today, or is the world changing too fast? Speaking of which, why has my book also turned into a pile of shit." These students, facing the weird things that have already happened, don't seem to realize that danger has already come. They are just curious and even a bit excited and agitated.

Suddenly. "Thud, thud, thud." A dull, clear knock, like a knock on everyone's heart, suddenly sounded, bringing a nearly eerie tone into the classroom. At this moment, everyone felt as if their souls were being choked by something, feeling a suffocating pressure as if they were being held underwater. "It's that knocking sound... exactly the same." Ethan's heart trembled. This was exactly the same as the sound from the audio file in the forum, just clearer in person. Zhou's face was particularly solemn. He picked up a special phone and urgently pressed a key, and the phone was immediately connected. "Zhou? Report the situation." A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone. "Already recorded." The voice on the other end of the phone spoke quickly: "Can you handle it?" Zhou said, "The ghost has formed a ghost domain and started to influence my location. I can't see the light outside, I guess the range of the ghost domain is bigger than I imagined." "Ghost domain... The situation has escalated, it's not something you can handle, please retreat quickly." "Using the power of the ghost in your current state is very dangerous. By then, there might be not only one ghost in your place, but two. I suggest that Even if you go all out, you might not be able to save even one person.' The voice on the phone immediately advised. 'I don't have time. I'm less than five meters away from that thing, right outside the classroom door. It might even have its eyes on me. I will maintain communication from now on. If it gets cut off, it means I'm dead. Please pass on my letter to my parents. That's it. I'm starting now.' 'Dong. Dong-dong.' The dull and oppressive knocking sound continued outside the classroom door, one long and two short, with a fixed rhythm, continuously pounding on the door. 'Mr. Wang, someone is knocking on the door.' A student who was unaware of the situation called out. Teacher Wang hesitated for a moment, but seeing Zhou's condition, it seemed like something very serious had happened. However, unable to resist her curiosity, she still opened the back door of the classroom and went out to see who was knocking. 'Don't go out.' Zhou urgently shouted. But he spoke too late. Teacher Wang had already gone out, but strangely, it was as if she vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace. Yes, she disappeared. The outside of the classroom became pitch black, and the dense darkness seemed to swallow any trace of light. When Teacher Wang went out, she disappeared in an instant, as if she had vanished into thin air. Furthermore, with the opening of the classroom door, the darkness outside quickly seeped in like thick black fog, continuously eroding the space inside the classroom.
