Psycho. Ghosts? Whatever. - Chapter 16 - The Corpse in the Dormitory Hallway

As night fell,

“Guys, another post just got bumped up.”

At this moment, Yu Yong was lying on his bed playing with his phone. He suddenly sat up, his eyes filled with both excitement and a hint of fear.

The others exchanged glances. Although they were a bit hesitant to look, their curiosity got the better of them.

In no time, the eight people in the dorm gathered around again.

“Something big happened! Another bizarre murder!”

“Friends, my neighbor was murdered. The scene was too gruesome. This world is really getting unsafe.”

Below was a photo attached.

It showed a house with a police line at the entrance, and security officers busy inside, seemingly collecting evidence.

The door had been forcibly broken, making it impossible to close, allowing passersby to see directly into the living room.

In the photo, the most striking feature was the large chandelier in the living room, from which three bloody heads were hanging.

One of the heads had its eyes wide open, staring out the door, filled with the terror of its final moments.

Such a clear image made everyone’s skin crawl instantly.

“Damn… they didn’t even censor it.”

Gao Yi quickly closed the post, cursing under his breath.

In the past week, they had seen several such bizarre incidents, most of which couldn’t be explained by science.

This had subtly changed everyone’s mindset…

Just then,

A sudden flash of light came through the dorm window, startling everyone.

“What are you all doing?! Still not asleep at this hour?”

The dorm supervisor shouted from outside:

“Is this the dorm for Class 3, Grade 1? If you don’t sleep, I’ll have a word with your homeroom teacher tomorrow.”

At this, everyone instantly quieted down and obediently returned to their beds.

“Why are these students so hard to manage lately?”

Uncle Zhang, the dorm supervisor, shook his head and continued to check the next dorm with his flashlight.

He wasn’t much of an internet user, so he was unaware of the online uproar that had already stirred the students’ hearts.

As Uncle Zhang continued his rounds, the whole floor gradually quieted down.

“Finally, I can get some rest.”

He shook his head, feeling a bit sleepy.

High school students only went to bed at eleven, which meant he finished his rounds close to midnight. For an elderly person, this was quite a challenge, but it was still a comfortable job.

As Uncle Zhang yawned and headed back to his dorm,

The lights in the hallway ahead suddenly flickered, casting an eerie glow.

“Is there a loose connection in the wiring?”

He frowned but wasn’t scared, muttering to himself:

“I’ll have to get someone from the school to check it out later, just in case there’s a safety hazard.”

He continued forward with his flashlight,

And as the lights flickered again, a shadow seemed to flash before his eyes.

“Hmm? Did I see that right?”

Uncle Zhang raised his flashlight but saw no shadow,

So he assumed he was seeing things and continued down the dark hallway.

And when the lights came on again,

A chilling scene unfolded.

A naked corpse was hanging in the hallway, its face pale, staring with bloodshot eyes, directly at Uncle Zhang.

“Ah!!”

Uncle Zhang froze, his body going limp as he fell to the ground, shouting in terror:

“A… a dead body! There’s a dead body!!”

Instantly, the once-quiet dormitory erupted into chaos,

Many students, wearing slippers, opened their dorm doors and saw the horrifying scene!

In the flickering hallway lights, a corpse hung from the ceiling, its dead eyes seemingly watching everyone.

Fear spread rapidly among the students, and some immediately ran towards the dormitory exit.

“Bai-Ge, come quick, there’s really a dead body!”

Zhou Han also saw the scene and quickly woke Bai Yuan, who was still in bed.

Bai Yuan swiftly dressed and came to the hallway,

Unlike the others, who were filled with fear and anxiety, his face was calm and composed.

“Damn, can we really encounter this?”

Bai Yuan stared at the corpse above, deep in thought.

He had thought living on campus would be a bit safer, but he still encountered a supernatural event, and judging by the death, this ghost wouldn’t be simple.

“Bro, shouldn’t we run?”

The stairwell was noisy with students desperately trying to leave the dormitory,

Only one or two brave ones remained, watching the hanging corpse.

“No need, the ghost isn’t nearby now. Running elsewhere might be more dangerous.”

Bai Yuan was so close to the corpse, but his chest felt no warmth, indicating it was just a body, with no ghost nearby.

The rest of the dorm was gathered downstairs, more likely to attract the ghost.

“Bro, are you sure it’s a ghost? What if it’s a murder case?”

“Unlikely.”

Bai Yuan nodded, pointing to the corpse above:

“Our hallway ceiling has no hooks. How could a body hang there without falling?”

With that, Bai Yuan even raised his hand, grabbed the corpse’s leg, and pulled, but it didn’t budge.

He seemed unsatisfied and even swung himself on it, but still couldn’t pull the body down.

“……”

Zhou Han instinctively took a step back, his face filled with horror.

Is he really swinging like it’s a playground?

“Bro, no need to prove it, I get it.”

Zhou Han quickly spoke, stopping Bai Yuan’s absurd actions, “What should we do now?”

“Call the security office and notify the school authorities.”

“Aren’t we dealing with the ghost?”

“Deal with what?!”

Bai Yuan shook his head, “Surviving is good enough.”

“……”

Seeing this, Zhou Han took the phone from the terrified dorm supervisor.

Soon,

A sharp alarm sounded in the night,

The security officers quickly arrived at the scene, setting up a cordon.

As for the school authorities, they stayed downstairs, comforting the students,

Just hearing the students’ descriptions made their skin crawl, so they didn’t dare come up to see for themselves.

“Li, help the school evacuate the dormitory, leave the rest to us.”

“Got it, Captain!”

Jiang Cheng, leading a dozen security officers, arrived on the second floor, the scene of the murder.

The hallway lights had returned to normal, allowing him to see the terrifying hanging corpse at a glance,

But what surprised him was that there were two students sitting beneath the corpse…

What kind of nerves do they have?
