Chapter 519: Jumo Island (Twenty-Five)

“It was an early summer night.

Six high school students came to the back of the school.

The group of people are all boys, their names are: Li Bin, Jia Ming, Hu Sheng, Zhao Guan, and Wang Xiaowen and Wang Xiaowu.

Today is the third day after the college entrance examination. Although everything is still unknown before the results are announced, this will not affect their carnival in the next half month.

And tonight, the carnival method they prepared... was to use textbooks as fuel and hold a barbecue party.

It might seem ridiculous, but to them at the time, it was definitely a good idea. The six people had already agreed on this plan the day after they finished the exam. They chose the back hill of the school as the meeting place, and the time was set at nine o'clock in the evening.

It was night, and after nightfall, six people arrived at the station near the school one after another.

The two brothers Wang Xiaowen and Wang Xiaowu were the first to arrive, bringing ingredients for barbecue; Zhao Guan came next, and he brought a portable refrigerator filled with cold beer; Li Bin and Jia Ming also arrived one after another, They were responsible for bringing barbecue utensils and tableware; as it approached nine o'clock, Hu Sheng also came, bringing gasoline and matches.

Of course, in addition to the above, each of them... brought a school bag filled with textbooks.

After the six people met, they went up the mountain from a path.

The mountain behind the school is not a steep mountain. To put it bluntly, it is just a deserted hillside. Generally speaking, it takes fifteen minutes to walk to the top of the mountain. The forest on the mountain is not dense either, because no one takes care of it all year round. Most of the trees are dead and the roadsides are overgrown with weeds.

The six boys were all vigorous teenagers. Although they were carrying heavy objects, their speed up the mountain was hardly affected.

In less than twenty minutes, they arrived at the top of Houshan Mountain.

From here, you can have a panoramic view of the school below. From the school building to the playground, it is clear at a glance.

In a short time, they had set up the equipment needed for the barbecue, prepared the fuel, and lit the fire.

A group of people sat around the fire talking and laughing and started barbecue.

They used the textbooks that tortured them for countless days and nights as paper towels to wipe their hands and mouths, and from time to time they tore off a few pages or threw the entire book into the fire.

They looked at the school building in the distance. Many complicated emotions came to my mind. There are definitely a lot of bad memories there. But there are good things too…

In any case, the three years there were an indelible part of their growth experience. Maybe what feels bitter today will be felt many years from now. It will precipitate other flavors.

After three rounds of drinking. After eating the sauce.

A few hours later. The food they brought was eaten up, and the textbooks were basically burned.

But there's still enough beer, maybe a third left.

It was getting dark at this time. Hu Sheng had a sudden thought and said: 'By the way, have you ever heard... the strange stories about this back mountain? ’

Jia Ming immediately answered: "I've heard of it, it seems to be called... the blood-stained school beauty?" ’

Li Bin said: ‘Eh? Why did I hear it was called the Life-killing Demon? ’

Wang Xiaowen and Wang Xiaohu said: 'The version we have heard is called... scavenger. ’

Zhao Guan shrugged and continued: 'Wandering ghost. ’

'ha? So there are so many strange stories behind our school? ’ Hu Sheng himself was also startled. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to tell a ghost story to scare these boys, but he didn’t expect that all of them had heard similar stories.

'Otherwise... let's talk about it individually? ’ Hu Sheng suggested.

Several other people also agreed, so after chatting for a few more words, they began to narrate one by one.

In fact, things like ghost stories... To put it simply, it can be summarized in three to five sentences, or even one sentence. But these guys added more fuel to the story, making it seem like a ghost story.

The 'blood-stained school beauty' that Jia Ming talked about was roughly... there was a very beautiful girl who was ostracized and bullied by other female classmates because of her appearance. Finally one day, she couldn't bear it anymore. She came to the back mountain, cut her face with a utility knife, and bled to death. In the next three months, all the girls who had bullied her died on this mountain. When they died, their faces were severely distorted, as if a pair of invisible hands were trying to pinch their faces to look like another person...

The story of Li Bin's 'Life Killer' is about... a perverted murderous teacher who specifically targets students in the school. Every time he killed a student, he would cut his body into pieces and hide it on the mountain behind. Until one night...he went up the mountain to abandon the body again, but never came down again. Later, the police found his body on the mountain and found a large number of other body parts around it. Those fragments covered the teacher's body like a swarm of insects, unable to be pulled off.

The Wang brothers’ ghost stories about scavengers are the simplest, that is... On the mountain, sometimes a green-faced old man with a stooped body and a basket on his back will appear. If he greets you, you must not answer, just pretend not to hear, otherwise you will be thrown into the basket and taken away...

And Zhao Guan's "Wandering Ghost" means... There once was a very cowardly student who did not dare to go to school because he was afraid of bullying. So, after he left home every morning, he hid in the back mountains and stayed there until dark before returning home. After a period of time like this, due to being unable to eat lunch for a long time, his body became weaker and weaker; coupled with being in a daze all day long, his spirit also became trance-like. Later, the school and parents finally found out about this incident. They couldn't help but put all the responsibility on the student, and his family even beat him severely. As a result, the student left home the next day as usual and never came back. It is said that from that day on, people would often see a figure wandering on the mountain, but as soon as someone approached, he would disappear and no one could ever find him...

The five people finished telling their stories one after another, and finally it was Hu Sheng's turn.

As the initiator, he was confident that the strange story he was going to tell was the most terrifying, so he made his final appearance.

At this time, the atmosphere had become quite strange. Even though these six boys were of an age where they were not afraid of anything, but after listening to four ghost stories in a row in this environment and atmosphere, they couldn't help but sweat on their palms and sweat profusely.

Seeing that it was almost midnight, during this time when the supernatural atmosphere was at its peak, Hu Sheng's narration began...

‘The strange story I’m going to talk about... doesn’t have a fixed name, because there are so many names for it, and no one knows its original name. ’ Hu Sheng was a person who could answer his questions, so he was very mysterious at the beginning, ‘The story is like this...many years ago, there were two students in this school, a boy and a girl. They had been childhood sweethearts since they were young. They had established a romantic relationship in their second year of high school and even had a physical relationship...

But the good times didn't last long, and the parents of both parties finally found out about it. What happens next is naturally a drama of beating mandarin ducks. And this pair of mandarin ducks did not give up. They have neither money nor the ability to survive independently from their families. The only thing they can do is to use their lives to accuse the world...

So, on a dark and windy night, the two of them came to the mountain...'

When Hu Sheng said this, he suddenly became silent.

His expression suddenly changed, his face suddenly turned pale, and he stared straight ahead.

Li Bin, Jia Ming, Zhao Guan and the Wang brothers also felt something was wrong. They turned their heads nervously and looked in the direction Hu Sheng was looking...

But I saw two figures, a man and a woman, each holding a flashlight, walking slowly along the path up the mountain.

Although they were not wearing school uniforms, judging from their appearance, they undoubtedly looked like high school students.

Faintly, you can still hear their conversation...

'Hey, let me tell you... have you ever felt... the surroundings suddenly got colder...' the girl said.

'Have it? ’ The boy said in an indifferent tone, ‘It’s just your psychology...’ He forced a smile, ‘It’s just a courage test, don’t be so nervous. ’

'But this back mountain is really weird...' the girl replied: 'Haven't you heard the strange story about the 'six ghosts'? ’

The two of them were talking and walking, and when they reached this point, they happened to pass directly through the bodies of Hu Sheng and the other six.

At the same time, the fire, barbecue grill, beer, and ashes on the ground all disappeared.

'ha? What the hell? ’ the boy continued.

The girl said mysteriously: 'I heard...many years ago, on a summer night, six boys came to this back mountain...to play barbecue with textbooks.

‘Haha...are you crazy? ' The boy said with a smile.

‘It is said that they are all senior high school students and have just finished taking the college entrance examination. ’ the girl replied.

'Oh...I can understand that. ’ the boy responded.

The girl continued: 'Unexpectedly... they had an accident while having a barbecue, which caused a fire, and eventually turned into a forest fire, burning all six of them to death on the mountain... The forest on the mountain was also burned. Most of it fell, and it has since become a barren mountain. ’

‘This can be regarded as extreme joy leading to sadness...’ the boy replied, caressing his arm inadvertently, because at this time... he also felt a faint chill.

'This is not over yet...' said the girl, 'Later, the college entrance examination results were announced, and all six of them were admitted to their ideal universities. Too bad... they'll never see the acceptance letter. ’

'Haha...haha...it's so weird...' The boy's smile became more and more unnatural, the hairs on his body stood up, and the peripheral vision of his eyes also glanced at the surrounding environment from time to time, as if he was thinking Check to see if there is anything hidden in the darkness...

'From then on...' the girl continued, 'there was a rumor... that every summer night, fire would occasionally appear on the mountain, and that was the six of them...'

Her words stopped abruptly because...she saw a burnt and ulcerated hand placed on the shoulder of the boy next to her, but the boy seemed completely unaware..."

Feng Bujue's story was finished here. He paused for a few seconds, stared at the imitation soul and said: "Okay, it's over, is it okay?" (To be continued...)
