Hell App

Bai Yan stared at Wei Zizhuo, wondering in his heart whether this boy was a ghost or not.

According to the ghost story in the post, the roommate that brought a key with him was a ghost. They rode the elevator together, and inside the elevator, the main character realized that the roommate didn’t have a reflection on the mirror…

If he followed this logic, Wei Zizhuo could also be a ghost in disguise.

However, his experiences from the previous floors told him that ghosts couldn’t enter the elevator voluntarily, they could only entice him to walk out of the lift.

Both the shadow and the brother earlier became stuck in between the elevator doors and retreated angrily. And, it could be seen from the case with the ghost that walked out that the elevator also wasn’t a place they could easily go back to.

With this in mind, the post and his experiences just now were obviously contradictory.

But, like the archives, the post was also the president’s lie, and he couldn’t let himself believe it without first thinking about it.

In a span of a few seconds, countless thoughts flashed through Bai Yan’s mind in succession.

What could he say, Bai Yan had lived with his cheap roommate for two days and knew him fairly well.

Even if this Wei Zizhuo was fake, he’d have no choice but to admit defeat since this masked ghost was like the real thing.

Seeing that Bai Yan hadn’t said anything for a long time, Wei Zizhuo felt that something was wrong. As a result, he quickly opened his mouth and asked, “Bai Yan, what happened? Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Hearing this, Bai Yan’s expression immediately changed.

Bai Yan wrinkled his brows in response as if he were in unbearable pain. He limped on one foot and panted, “Before I rode the elevator, I twisted my ankle.”

“Is it serious?” Wei Zizhuo opened his eyes wide, “Can you still move?”

Bai Yan said nothing, only painfully shaking his head.

He didn’t directly tell Wei Zizhuo to come over because inside the game’s world, he couldn’t let his tongue slip.

He didn’t know what a ghost’s thought process was, but using the original owner’s and Wei Zizhuo’s relationship, a roommate with a twisted ankle would make Wei Zizhuo take the lead and offer him a hand.

Sure enough, seeing that Bai Yan was having a hard time moving, Wei Zizhuo immediately walked inside the elevator, intending to give his friend support to go out.

Upon seeing that Wi Zizhuo didn’t have any trouble entering the elevator, Bai Yan eased up a bit.

But, he still remembered that inside the elevator, the ‘good roommate’ was also able to go in the lift.

Luckily, the elevator doors haven’t closed yet, so from time to time, he shot a glance at the encircling ghosts in the mirror. Wei Zizhuo’s reflection was as small as his.

And with that, Bai Yan was able to confirm him without much effort. The 7 on the mirror was also reversed, so this floor surely wasn’t the mirror’s world.

It seemed like this floor was the real way out.

Bai Yan relaxed and let Wei Zizhuo help him out.

When they completely exited the elevator, its doors abruptly closed.

As he looked at the elevator continue to go up, Bai Yan thoughtlessly said, “What were you doing crouched down by the vending machine earlier? Did you buy anything?”

“Yup, I bought a drink!” Wei Zizhuo slightly hesitated and asked with a bit of embarrassment in his tone, “Bai Yan, do you still need my help?”

The elevator was already long gone, and according to the information Ye Shangyu revealed, there was a safe period after the ghost story ended. So, Bai Yan was not at all worried right now, but he wanted to see what Wei Zizhuo would do next.

“It’s okay. After leaving the elevator, I suddenly found out that my foot is already good.”

“That quickly?”

Wei Zizhuo felt very surprised, but he was always thick-headed that he could copy a whole test paper, word per word, not even double-checking them, so it was normal that he’d be surprised and just accept it with confusion.

Wei Zizhuo walked to the vending machine’s front, scanning the QR code and saying, “I won a limited 20-yen red envelope(1). Not using it would just be plain foolishness, so I was thinking of buying drinks just now.

1. Red envelopes are packets of money. These are traditionally given on birthdays or Chinese New Year by older relatives to the younger ones, but in recent years, cashless mobile transactions in China have a red envelope feature, which gives you the option to send someone gift money.

After saying this, a dozen drinks came out of the vending machine.

When Wei Zizhuo was buying his drinks, Bai Yan first gave Luo Xing a call, telling him to not rush reading the post in the forum.

In a bit, he still had to leave the dorm, and he didn’t dare ride the elevator now. If Luo Xing won a ghost story that pertained to stairs, then he won’t be able to leave at all.

By the time he was done talking to Luo Xing, Wei Zuzhuo was also done buying his drinks.

Wei Zizhuo carried a bunch of beverages and wanted to ask Bai Yan to help him carry half, but he discovered that he had already walked far away.

Seeing that Bai Yan didn’t want to help him, Wei Zizhuo carried all the drinks by himself, a twinge of sadness looming in his heart as he walked back to the dorm.

‘I just helped you out of the elevator, but you didn’t even help me carry my drinks. He’s too much.’

Wei Zizhuo carried his mood with him back to the room, but he still grabbed a bottle and placed it on Bai Yan’s desk.

Bai Yan saw the drink on his table and suddenly remembered, “Do you plan on using drinks to make up for the meal?”

“No, everyone would get a drink. Of course I prepared enough for everyone to get one.” Wei Zizhuo was a bit dazed, “Also, what’s this all about a meal?”

“You forget? Don’t you owe me a meal?” Bai Yan said seriously, “You said it before, after you copied my answer sheet, you’d treat me to a meal,”

‘When did I owe you a meal?’

‘Did I promise you this?’

Wei Zizhuo’s heart was filled with unending questions.

But, he did vaguely remember that he had talked to someone about a meal. He wasn’t someone who would go back on his word, so he must have really forgotten.

Thinking this, Wei Zizhuo couldn’t help but feel a bit ashamed as he promised Bai Yan that when he had the time, he’d take him out for a meal.

When he saw that he wasn’t backing out on his word, Bai Yan happily patted him on the shoulder. He liked these kinds of honest people.

Although he hadn’t eaten this meal yet, there wasn’t a single person on this earth that could completely depend on their debts from Bai Yan.

In any case, the eighty multiple choice answers were mostly incorrect, so this kind of going away meal with the owner was the same.

After the grades were announced, Wei Zizhuo’s reaction would surely be interesting.

To prevent Wei Zizhuo from cutting ties with the original owner by carelessly dying, before he left, Bai Yan gave him a message, reminding him to not use the elevator or go to the 4th building’s communal bathroom the next few days.

After Bai Yan said this, he then left the dorm through the stairs.

…

Beverage shop.

The drink in front of Ye Shangyu had long been finished, and seeing the two people’s looks of inquiry, Bai Yan said, “The difficulty is not that bad. It’s also best to not believe everything written on the post. Definite situations should be analyzed concretely.”

Luo Xing was Bai Yan’s reserve teammate, so Bai Yan didn’t dig a pit for him and shared his experience inside the elevator in full detail.

Hearing that he shouldn’t believe the archive and the post, Luo Xing’s attitude didn’t collapse. Compared to the other two, he had obtained more than enough information, so he had already ensured safety.

“Okay, I’ll bear this in mind.” Luo Xing nodded, “Let’s finish this game tonight.”

After the slot of the fourth ghost story had been filled up on his application form, Luo Xing mentally prepared himself, then bowed his head and opened the post.

Nowadays, the fourth building’s underground bathroom was filled with ghosts. The male and female dormitories were filled with dead people as well. And, he didn’t know if the deceased ghosts would roam around. In any case, he shouldn’t drag this out.

After opening the post, Luo Xing swept his eyes across the four stories and then went straight to the end of the post.

The fifth ghost story took place in a classroom.

The protagonist had the same gender as Luo Xing, he was also a boy.

One fateful night, he had stayed until late at night making a plan in a study room. After he had painstakingly finished the plan, the sky had already turned dark, and the school’s main gate was already locked.

The boy closed the lights inside the study room and prepared to leave the school alone.

But when he was going down the stairs, he saw a girl carrying some books with her on the stairs as she was in the middle of reciting something while bowing her head. A small chanting voice could be heard from her direction.

The boy thought that it was too late in the evening, and a girl in this place would attract danger, so he approached her and tapped her on her shoulders, fully intending on accompanying her out of the school.

However, as the girl turned her head, the boy was shocked to find out—— that the girl didn’t have a mouth all along.

“It’s about a study room…”

During Luo Xing’s retelling of the story, Bai Yan pulled out a similar one from the archive, showing it to Luo Xing, “It’s here. Take a look for yourself.”

Luo Xing flipped through the archive, again looking through the archive he knew well.

In the archive, the president was exploring an abandoned school.

When he passed through a study room, he was trapped inside by the female ghost. The school’s main entrance was locked, the only way to escape was through the window inside the women’s washroom. The president strolled around the school the female ghost sealed off, and in the end, when the female ghost wasn’t paying attention, he climbed through the window in the female toilet and ran away.

Good, at least he could eliminate one dead end.

Luo Xing was done reading the archive, and his only thought was that he should not go to the ladies’ restroom.

After adjusting his thinking, Luo Xing didn’t say much more and brought his pen and club application form with him, opening the door and going to the school building.

School Building 3.

When Luo Xing arrived, it was already 9 PM.

Most of the building’s windows were pitch-black, only some windows were still brightly lit.

Luo Xing climbed to the fourth floor, the classroom that had its lights on was 402.

A busy boy was sitting on the first row of room 402, incessantly typing on his laptop.

In the very last row of room 402, a girl with braided pigtails was sitting there. There was an entrance exam for graduate studies book in front of her. Her ears were covered, while her mouth was mumbling something, busy memorizing the contents.

The girl who was busy memorizing aroused Luo Xing’s alertness since the girl without a mouth was also muttering something in the ghost story.

Luo Xing carefully glanced at the girl. Her lips continued to open and close while her mouth was perfectly placed on her face.

Upon seeing this, Luo Xing slightly let go of his breath, but he remained vigilant as he sat in the middle of the study room, far away from the boy and the girl.

In the post, the ghost story happened after the school was locked up.

In Blue Sky College, the school closing time was 10 PM, and there was still one hour to kill before that happened.

It was still too early for the story to take place. As a result, Luo Xing took out an exam paper to disguise himself. On one hand, he was answering the questions, and on the other, he was secretly observing the other two people left inside the school.
