Chapter 1711 - 1912: There's a Ghost!!!
"Smack!"However, just as he finished speaking, a crisp slap sound was heard, followed by a stinging pain on his cheek, the fiery kind of pain. He was instantly dumbfounded, touching his face, still unclear about what had happened.
He was stunned for a long time before realizing that someone had slapped him. But everyone was present, and his own people wouldn't hit him, and the people on Liang Xiaohan's side were too far away to slap him either.
He immediately felt something eerie, and then he covered his face and shouted loudly, "Who, who hit me!"
Zhang Xiong's face was also full of surprise. He only heard a crisp slapping sound and then heard his subordinate say he was slapped, only then did he realize. He didn't see anything, only heard a clear slapping noise, what on earth was going on.
His subordinates also had a bewildered expression. Liang Xiaohan had a mocking smile on her face all along, even though she was at a disadvantage, there was no hint of defeat in her demeanor.
"Who, who hit, stand out!" The person covered his face and shouted a few more taunts when no one came forward.
At this moment, laughter came from not far away, instantly attracting their attention. They saw Hao Jian suddenly walk out from the darkness and said with a smile, "I hit you, so what!"
In an instant, Zhang Xiong, Liang Xiaohan, and everyone's eyes turned towards Hao Jian. What was going on, when did this person appear, they hadn't noticed at all. If he hadn't spoken, they wouldn't have realized someone was there.
Everyone looked at Hao Jian with a surprised expression, and the person who was slapped also looked at Hao Jian in shock, covering his face. He couldn't believe that Hao Jian, who was several meters away from him, was the one who slapped him.
So he said, "Get lost, stop causing trouble here!"
However, just as he said that, he felt a pain at the corner of his mouth, and the words he was about to say were swallowed down. "Smack," he was heavily slapped on the mouth, it almost swelled up.
At the moment he was hit, his eyes went wide like saucers, and he even forgot the pain at the corner of his mouth. He remembered clearly just now, this person was at least seven or eight meters away, so why was he suddenly slapped before he finished speaking.
And it was in a situation where he had no resistance, he didn't even have time to react before he was slapped, he was instantly bewildered.
Everyone else had the same thought, they saw clearly while he was talking, he was still over there, but in an instant, he rushed over and slapped the person. This... this simply didn't make sense, even the fastest sprint records are about seven to eight meters per second, but this, although theoretically possible, where would an ordinary person have such speed.
This speed simply doesn't exist unless it's a world-class sprint champion, so they were all instantly dumbfounded.
Originally, Zhang Xiong wanted to say something, but after seeing the situation, he was just as surprised as his fellows, with wide eyes and open mouths, unable to say anything.
This phenomenon could simply be explained as a supernatural event, and an extremely bizarre one at that. A group of them had been here for so long, but hadn't noticed anyone else on the playground, and suddenly someone appeared out of nowhere, and under mysterious circumstances at that.
Of course, that wasn't the most bizarre thing. The most bizarre part was this person's teleportation-like speed, which was terrifyingly fast, nowhere near what a normal person could achieve.
Late at night, on such a deserted playground, with the school's ghost stories floating around, their minds almost simultaneously veered towards thinking of paranormal events.
Gradually, the fear grew, and people often scare themselves, getting more and more afraid. Thinking of this, they suddenly felt the breeze on the playground was icy cold like a ghostly wind blowing on their backs.
Though they had the ability to think independently, they were still ordinary high school students without worldly experience, so despite any mental fortitude, it was only so high.
Actually, these thoughts and changes in their hearts occurred in just a few seconds, but in those short moments, they found themselves slightly pale, with a chill on their backs.
At this point, the atmosphere instantly quieted down, no one dared to speak a word, or even to breathe. But suddenly someone yelled, "There's a ghost!" and those whose mental fortitude was already at their limits could no longer contain their fear.
In an instant, panic spread, and with that terrifying shout, a group of people started yelling and sprinting away.
Among them, Zhang Xiong was the fastest, leading in front.
Zhang Xiong and his followers immediately ran off, and Liang Xiaohan's friends, initially lying on the ground, were so frightened they sprang up, dragging their injuries and limping as they fled.
The wind swept across the playground, and those originally bold and fearless individuals were instantly gone, leaving the once crowded playground deserted.
Hao Jian took a glance and immediately smiled. His original thought was that it's just not right for a group of men to bully a woman. Watching that beautiful girl being bullied by a group of guys didn't sit well with him. If it were an ugly one, he wouldn't have felt anything.
But for a beauty like Liang Xiaohan, he couldn't bear to see it for even a second, it hurt his heart. So, after getting approval from Shu Ya with a glance, he rashly rushed out.
He thought there'd be more trouble before he could chase away this group, but he didn't expect that just by delivering two slaps, the whole group was so scared, thinking he was a ghost, they fled. That was unexpected.
With a smile on his face, looking at the now empty playground, he chuckled.
However, turning around, he noticed there was someone else on the playground. To his surprise, it was Liang Xiaohan.
His gaze swept over Liang Xiaohan, noticing her curious look towards him. Surprisingly, everyone else had been scared away, even the boys, given the bizarre and paranormal atmosphere. But Liang Xiaohan, the only girl, didn't seem scared. Instead, she looked at him with curiosity, surprising him at that moment.
If it were any other time, with the moon hanging high and the romantic atmosphere of the playground, Hao Jian would shamelessly go up to greet her and ask for her contact information.
But today, that wasn't possible. Shu Ya was watching. His heroic act of saving the beauty was only allowed with her approval. If he went over to chat more, knowing Shu Ya's temper, she'd likely have his manhood.
So, in that instant, his gaze lingered on Liang Xiaohan for several seconds, but he turned around and left silently, while secretly remembering Liang Xiaohan's name, as well as Degao Affiliated School's name.
He suddenly ran, and just as Liang Xiaohan got a clear look at Hao Jian, he was already gone. In no time, she stood stunned on the playground, searching but unable to find a trace of Hao Jian.
She then took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket, placing one in her mouth, lighting it silently and taking a drag. Her actions were simply captivating.
Her allure, in every move and gesture, radiated an incredibly charming aura. Enough to make countless boys willingly fall at her feet.
Perhaps Zhang Xiong's group made too much noise running away, for soon, the school's night patrol security guards came over with flashlights to see what happened.
Seeing the flashlight beam, Liang Xiaohan deftly extinguished her cigarette and quickly left from the other end of the playground, unnoticed by the guards.
Once outside, she silently looked back at the playground, her mind filled with the scene of Hao Jian earlier, trying hard to recall what he looked like.
The security guards, after arriving at the playground, found no one and were about to return.
Meanwhile, Zhang Xiong had rushed to the front gates with his group, passing by the security office.
The on-duty guards, seeing a group of students running in panic, thought something serious had happened, and quickly ran out to stop them and ask what was going on.
But before they could speak, a student shouted, "There's... there's a ghost! The playground is haunted!"
"Haunted!" The guards looked puzzled.
Having worked at the Affiliated School for many years, they had never encountered a haunting.
Yet, seeing the students' panic-stricken faces, they knew it wasn't a prank or a joke.
Thinking back to a few years ago when a student committed suicide over a breakup and other accidental deaths, a chill ran down their spines.
