Gao Ming wanted to go down the corridor, but Fan Li yanked him back. “We have to go back first!”

“Gao Ming is in that room asking for help! He wants to come out!”

“Don’t make snap judgments! What if it’s not Gao Ming inside that room but a ghost?” Liu Yi pressed on Gao Ming’s shoulders.

“Ghost?”

The three returned to the room. Liu Yi closed the door. After the sound outside was gone, she dared to speak, “Every Gao Ming is unique. His life is made up of endless choices. Those choices constitute his real self.”

Holding his bag, Gao Ming ruminated about what Liu Yi had said.

“You are the way you are now because the person who wants to hurt you has frozen your memory on the 14th of July. This day is when your life changes. To those who mean you harm, this is a chance to correct all the mistakes.” Liu Yi shared her analysis. “Based on different choices, you might be kicked out of school or commit suicide. Therefore, there is a possibility that you have become a ghost.”

Fan Li said that the building was haunted. Gao Ming saw the ghost earlier. Limbs grew out of the ghost’s body. It was terrifying.

“Even if it’s a ghost, isn’t that me? Can I kill another version of me?” Gao Ming became excited. “Perhaps I can work together with him to take down the other ghosts!”

Liu Yi held her forehead. This Gao Ming didn’t seem to be fearful of anything. He was rash and didn’t use his brain.

“What if he can’t recognise anyone and kills even you?”

“Then, won’t I become another ghost? I won’t be afraid of the ghost anymore.” Gao Ming didn’t seem to care about death. He became more spirited when he found out about the existence of ghosts. “Instead of hiding like a rat, why not join them?”No?v(el)B\\jnn

Fan Li was stunned to hear such words coming from a high schooler.

“You think you can become a ghost after you die. However, you’ll most likely be eaten by other ghosts once you die.” Liu Yi frowned. She took out a red student council badge. “The room with the talismans is quite far from here. We don’t have much time. If you really want to go there, wear this badge.”

Gao Ming finished the dinner slowly. He took a slice out of the cake. As he chewed on the cake, he stared at the large red present box on the other side of the dining table. The box had black and white ribbons. r?a?o??????s?

“Is this Mom and Dad’s present for me? But it’s not my birthday. Why is there cake and present?”

With anticipation and confusion, Gao Ming approached the box. As he was about to open the box, he heard the knocking.

“Who is coming to visit so late at night?”

He looked out through the peephole. There were people moving in the corridor. Due to the bad lighting, he couldn’t see clearly.

“There appears to be three of them. The student is wearing our school uniform. He looks like me from the back... Weird. How do I know what I look like from the back?”

Soon, a piece of paper was slipped under the door.

Gao Ming’s eyes narrowed as he picked up the paper. “The handwriting is mine!” The content shocked Gao Ming. He suspected the people outside were crazy.

“The corridor is haunted? Should I believe them?”

He came to another juncture in life. Different paths led to different futures.

“Should I stay at home to wait for my parents to come, or should I talk to them?” After giving it some thought, he opened the door a little bit. The moment he did that, the lights in the corridor went out. A giant and ugly monster with many limbs turned the corridor and charged at him!

Gao Ming hadn’t experienced such a horror in his life. He was so scared that he fell to the ground. He closed the door due to pure instinct.

His face was pale. He was so frightened that he was rendered speechless.

He was not bullied, kicked out of school or suffered from mental illness. It was the most normal Gao Ming who received the present.
