Chapter 718 Weird School
Ling Feng commanded the agents and brought Chen Yile and others back to the headquarters of the Spirit Detective Organization.
After resting for a few days, Chen Yile received several messages from fans on his mobile phone.
A fan named Lin Xiao asked Chen Yile to go to her place and help her solve some difficulties.
Lin Xiao is a teacher working in a mountain village school. She said that she had encountered some strange things recently. Because she had watched Chen Yile’s live broadcast, she wanted to ask him to go and take a look.
Chen Yile agreed to help fans without hesitation.
Before leaving, Chen Yile stood in front of the mirror and carefully adjusted his appearance.
Today he is no longer that sunny young man, but has changed into a simple white shirt and casual pants.
His identity temporarily became a teacher who went to communicate. This was a fake identity he obtained through the power of the psychic detective organization in order to facilitate the investigation.
After a bumpy ride, Chen Yile finally arrived at the mountain village school where Lin Xiao was.
"Ding Dong." Chen Yile's cell phone rang. It was a message from Lin Xiao.
"Teacher Chen, I've already put your luggage in the dormitory. The school is not big, so please get familiar with the environment first."
Lin Xiao sent a message.
Chen Yile's lips curled up into a smile, having seen through the superficial illusion.
This mountain primary school looks peaceful and tranquil, but anyone who pays close attention can notice something is amiss.
For example, the look in the children's eyes always carried a hint of hostility when they looked at him, as if he had intruded into their territory.
He walked into the classroom, sunlight poured in through the window, casting mottled shadows on the floor.
The classroom was eerily quiet, with only the rustling sound of chalk rubbing against the blackboard. Chen Yile wrote his name on the blackboard.
"Hello, students. I am the new Chinese teacher, Chen Yile," he said.
There were a few sporadic responses in the classroom, but the children's eyes remained cold.
Chen Yile noticed that several children were twisting and turning restlessly in their seats, their fingers unconsciously rubbing against the table, as if waiting for some signal.
After school, Lin Xiao took the initiative to stay and ask Chen Yile what he thought.
"Teacher Chen, what do you think of these children?"
She asked in a low voice.
Chen Yile frowned: "They seem to be a little strange."
"I feel so too!"
Lin Xiao said anxiously, "Ever since I came here to teach, I've always felt there was something wrong with these kids. Sometimes they suddenly fall silent in class, their eyes looking eerily empty. Sometimes they gather together and whisper, then immediately disperse when they see me."
Chen Yile nodded thoughtfully. He could sense a faint chill in the air, as if a pair of invisible eyes were watching them.
While resting at night, something strange happened.
Chen Yile tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, and heard low murmurs coming from outside the window, as if someone was saying something in an ancient language.
He sat up suddenly and listened carefully.
All that could be heard was a vague whisper.
The sound came and went, as if echoing right beside his ears. Chen Leyi's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily.
He gently pushed the door open and found Lin Xiao also standing in the corridor with a pale face.
"Did you hear that?" she whispered.
Chen Yile nodded: "Let's go and find out where the sound comes from."
The two tiptoed across the corridor, heading towards the direction of the sound.
However, with every step they took, the sound became more vague, as if someone was deliberately avoiding their detection.
Finally, they arrived at the back playground of the school.
The moonlight poured down like water, illuminating the ground with a pale white. The playground was empty, with only a few night owls circling among the treetops.
"Strange, it clearly came from this side just now."
Chen Yile narrowed his eyes: "Don't worry, we'll find another opportunity tomorrow."
After returning to the dormitory, Chen Yile lay in bed but couldn't fall asleep. Those low whispers kept echoing in his mind, as if reminding him of something.
The next morning, Lin Xiao ran to him excitedly: "Teacher Chen! I found a diary!"
She handed over a worn notebook. Chen Le took it and looked at it. On the cover, the words "Volunteer Teaching Diary" were written in faded penmanship.
When I opened the first page, I saw the following text:
"September 9, XX.
Today is my first day at this mountain elementary school. The scenery is beautiful, but I feel like something is missing. The children are all well-behaved, but I can't help but feel like there's something hidden in their eyes.
Every night, when everyone is asleep, I always hear a low, murmurous sound. This strange sound keeps me from getting a good night's rest. I try to track down the source of the sound, but every time I come back empty-handed.
Maybe I should get out of here sooner."
The contents of the following pages of the diary became increasingly chaotic, with the last page even covered in graffiti and gibberish.
"It seems that I am not the first person to discover that there is a problem here." Lin Xiao sighed.
Chen Yile pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that this school is indeed not simple. We need to learn more about its secrets."
The next day after school, Chen Yile and Lin Xiao decided to go talk to the old principal.
The old principal is a man in his seventies with deep wrinkles on his face.
He was sitting in the office drinking tea. When he heard the purpose of the two people's visit, his eyes suddenly became flickering.
The old principal sighed and said, "Young man, this school is indeed special."
"Can you tell us what it is specifically?"
Lin Xiao asked.
The old principal thought for a moment and replied, "Do you know? This mountain hides an ancient secret. Long ago, a plague broke out here."
"Plague?" Chen Yile interrupted.
"Yes, that plague claimed countless lives. The villagers believed it was caused by ghosts in the mountains, so they worked together to build an altar to suppress the wronged souls."
Lin Xiao listened intently: "Is the altar still there?"
The old principal's expression suddenly turned gloomy. "Don't ask these questions! Those things happened so many years ago. It's better not to disturb them anymore."
Chen Yile's heart tightened. The old principal's attitude made him feel that the situation was far more complicated than he had imagined.
Lin Xiao asked tentatively, "Principal, can you take us to see the altar?"
The old principal stood up suddenly and said, "No! Absolutely not! If you dare to go there, you will bear the consequences!"
After saying this, the old principal hurriedly left the office.
Chen Yile and Lin Xiao looked at each other. Clearly, the old principal knew something that couldn't be said.
However, judging from the old principal's attitude, the altar he mentioned should be a key location.
