By Moxadple gggPublished 3 years ago 18 min read

Zhao Qing, Li Liang and Feng Tang are now even thinking of dropping out of school.

  The three people took a lot of effort to finally persuade their families to let them come to school together in this school. Unexpectedly, before they experienced the fun of college in the school, they were going to be driven crazy by the school cafeteria.

  Every dish in the cafeteria has green pepper as a side dish - roasted eggplant, eggplant in sauce, fried shredded potatoes, fried potato slices, slippery meat and so on, all can see the shadow of green pepper.

  These days, Zhao Qing three people eat green pepper eat almost vomit. So, this day they did not eat "green pepper feast" in the canteen, but ready to go off-campus feast.

  But the hateful thing is that their school is closed, which is very different from what they expected before. So the three of them had to wait until the evening, came to the school wall, and prepared to jump out of the wall.

  Li Liang and Feng Tang climbed up first and stretched out their hands to pull Zhao Qing. Zhao Qing grabbed the two men's hands and was just about to make an effort when he suddenly felt his foot neck seemed to be wrapped around something. He thought it was a weed on the wall and shook it twice, but it didn't go away.

  "What are you doing? Hurry up!" Li Liang, who was crouching on the wall, urged.

  "My foot got tangled up in something." Zhao Qing said, bending down to use his hands to untie the "grass" on the neck of the foot. Immediately, his whole body froze there - his foot neck is not tangled with grass, but is being held tightly by a cold hand.

  That hand actually grew out of the ground!

  Zhao Qing was so dumbfounded that he didn't know how to describe what he saw to the two people on the wall. Then he realized that the horror was not only the hand that grabbed him, but there was a human broken arm, leg, torso, and even a human head growing on the ground around him.

  "Ah--" Zhao Qing let out a shrill scream and yanked Li Liang and Feng Tang, who were crouching on the wall and grasping his hand, right off.

  Li Liang and Feng Tang did not know what had happened, and fell to the ground grimacing in pain, trying to scold Zhao Qing, but Zhao Qing grabbed their arms and ran in the direction of the dormitory.

  The three of them ran back to the dormitory in one breath, and Zhao Qing sat down directly on the ground to catch his breath.

  Li Liang and Feng Tang didn't know what Zhao Qing was up to, and they were so angry that they cursed and questioned Zhao Qing about what was wrong with him.

  Zhao Qing breathed evenly before he shivered and told what had just happened.

  When Li Liang and Feng Tang heard it, they were dumbfounded.

  "You, you said it's true?" Li Liang asked incredulously.

  "What am I lying to you for?!" Zhao Qing shouted.

  At this time, Feng Tang suddenly said, "I passed by there during the day, see there is a green pepper field ah, it is said that our canteen green pepper is picked from there."

  Green pepper, broken hands and feet, human head ...... Zhao Qing thought about it, could not help but bend over and vomit.

  Eat the green pepper

  The next morning, although the heart of fear, but the three people still have to go to the cafeteria to eat breakfast.

  This time the canteen just opened, there are no students yet. Li Liang and Feng Tang on Zhao Qing said last night to see the ghost of the matter is still half-trusted, the three people just passed Zhao Qing's mouth to see the ghost of the place, there is a normal green pepper field, there is no ghost.

  Li Liang and Feng Tang two people are eating steamed buns, drinking porridge, on a small plate of pickles. Of course, that plate of pickles also has green pepper shreds.

  Zhao Qing was not in the mood and sat there frowning and staring.

  At that moment, a chef from the canteen suddenly walked up to them. The master's face was a bit gloomy, staring at Zhao Qing and the three of them.

  Zhao Qing felt puzzled, so he asked, "Is something wrong?"

  Who knows that the master did not pay attention to him, but coldly said to Li Liang and Feng Tang, who were eating, "Eat the green pepper!"

  It turned out that Li Liang and Feng Tang did not want to eat the shredded green pepper, so they picked out the shredded green pepper in the pickled vegetables one by one and put it on the table.

  Li Liang gave the master a white look and continued to eat his own rice, just do not eat the green pepper shreds. Feng Tang even coldly snorted, directly picking all the pickles in the plate on the table, and began to eat only congee and steamed buns.

  Zhao Qing also had some opinions about the canteen's food in his heart, and Li Liang and Feng Tang's approach was just what he wanted. So he looked at the master, wanting to see what kind of reaction he would have.

  The master's face became more and more ugly, but he finally did not say anything and turned around and went into the kitchen.

  Zhao Qing three people showed a triumphant smile, continue to eat dinner, sell dumb children sell dumb children. But at that moment, the kitchen door opened, and the master just walked out again. He had an extra round table in his hand, and was rolling towards Zhao Qing little by little. And behind him, there were two other people, who were holding knives, pots, strainers and other kinds of kitchen utensils.

  Zhao Qing three people do not know what they want to do, dumbfounded there to watch.

  At this time, the previous master spread the table to the floor, and then said to Li Liang and Feng Tang: "Lie down."

  Li Liang and Feng Tang felt even more baffled. Zhao Qing on the side of the heart suddenly rose a hint of foreboding, want to pull Li Liang and Feng Tang run, but it was too late.

  The master suddenly reached out his hand, like a martial arts master lightning grabbed Feng Tang's collar and threw him on the table. Feng Tang did not have time to struggle, the side of the master with a kitchen knife suddenly a kitchen knife cut down.

  Bones, Feng Tang's head from the body, rolled to the side.

  Zhao Qing and Li Liang was stunned by this sudden change, after reacting, see that the three masters have begun to decompose Feng Tang's body. And only then did the two of them realize that the three masters had long since changed their appearance, turning into evil spirits with pale faces, hollow eye sockets and huge open mouths ......

  Must eat

  Zhao Qing and Li Liang fled lifelessly out of the canteen and ran in one breath to the dormitory building. Away from the cafeteria, the two people only then stopped to catch their breath.

  "The ghost, the ghost killed Feng Tang!" Li Liang voice have changed, with endless fear inside.

  "Yes, report, call the police!" Zhao Qing shivered and took out his cell phone, just want to call the police, next to suddenly scurry over a figure, a hand to stop him.

  Zhao Qing was startled, thought it was the ghost master came after him again, back two steps to look up, but saw a strange boy standing in front of him.

  "You, what are you doing?" Zhao Qing asked cautiously in fright. Li Liang, who was also full of caution and fear, stood next to Zhao Qing and stared closely at the strange boy.

  The boy hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad guy. Just now I saw you run out of the canteen, so I wanted to ask you: did you not eat the green peppers in the canteen?"

  Zhao Qing was stunned and looked at Li Liang, and seeing that the other man was also full of doubts, he asked: "What do you mean by that?"

  The boy then said: "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Liu Fan. This place is not suitable for talking, let's find a place where no one is around."

  Zhao Qing and Li Liang were eager to know the secret behind this, so they took Liu Fan back to his dorm room. Only after closing the door did Liu Fan tell Zhao Qing and Li Liang everything he knew.

  Liu Fan said that he also just came to this school not long ago. This school doesn't even need test scores, you just have to pay to get in. Why? Obviously, this school is not normal.

  This school is occupied by ghosts, and the school cafeteria is one of the important places occupied by ghosts. Those ghosts, for some reason, put green peppers inside all the dishes, and people who ordered the dishes had to eat them all. Because the school is closed management, so even if someone has objections, there is no way. If you only eat the other dishes inside and not the peppers, then you will be cruelly punished by the ghosts. Liu Fan said he had witnessed someone not eating peppers because the ghosts in the cafeteria removed the arms, legs, intestines, stomachs made into meat wrapped for classmates to eat. And those who ate the green pepper, will not suffer any harm.

  Zhao Qing and Li Liang completely dumbfounded, did not think there is such a bizarre thing, really feel incredible. After a moment of silence, Zhao Qing asked, "Knowing that this place is haunted, why do not we run away?"

  Liu Fan shook his head and said: "It's useless, there are many ghosts hidden around the school, if they find out you have to escape from the school, then you will die more miserable. One of my roommates had his legs cracked by a ghost because he tried to escape. The ghosts put his legs together with green peppers and made a dish forcing my roommate to eat his own flesh before he died."

  Green peppers or human flesh

  Why must we eat green peppers?

  Liu Fan said that people who enter this school not only can not escape, and the ghost set up a shield, cell phones can not contact the outside world at all, but can access the Internet.

  Zhao Qing interjected: "can access the Internet can contact the outside world ah! QQ, WeChat, all can!"

  Liu Fan shook his head and said: "It is simply impossible, all the ways to communicate with the outside world are blocked by the ghost."

  Zhao Qing did not believe, took out his cell phone to try, found that QQ, WeChat is possible to go up, but can not send messages to anyone.

  Liu Fan went on to say that he looked up on the Internet, green pepper is a stimulating food, and this stimulating food is precisely what can drive away ghosts. People who often eat green pepper, the body will give birth to a kind of immunity against ghosts.

  Zhao Qing and Li Liang may be terrified, simply did not think about the contradictions. Li Liang yelled disbelief, and had to break out and escape from here.

  Zhao Qing hurriedly stopped him and said, "I think what Liu Fan said is true, we can not joke with life ah!"

  Li Liang sat on his butt "Then how do we do ah, do we have to eat those ghosts in this haunted place every day to make the green pepper feast? Sooner or later we will not be killed by ghosts, but also because of eating green peppers disgusting death."

The "green pepper feast" in the school cafeteria

  Zhao Qing sighed, there is no way.

  The three people stayed in the dormitory until noon. During that time, Liu Fan decided to move in with Zhao Qing and Li Liang, because the people in his dorm room had been killed by ghosts, and he felt safer with a companion.

  Just after twelve o'clock, Liu Fan said: "You guys didn't eat green peppers last night and this morning, right? Now you must go with me to the cafeteria to eat green peppers, or those ghosts will soon come looking for you two."

  Zhao Qing and Li Liang were scared in their hearts, but there was nothing they could do but to follow Liu Fan to the cafeteria in a timid manner. The good thing is that there are a lot of people in the cafeteria at this time, so they have a little more security in their hearts.

  The three ghost masters have returned to their original appearance. Zhao Qing and Li Liang found that they always looked at themselves without thinking, as if they remembered that they did not eat the green pepper.

  Today's most popular dish is fried pork with green peppers, Zhao Qing and Li Liang actually did not have the appetite to eat, but still both hit a serving of this dish.

  Finding a table, Zhao Qing and the other three began to eat. While eating, Zhao Qing observed the people around him and found that those people were expressionlessly eating the meal in front of them with their heads down. They only picked the green pepper in the plate and ate it, the rest of the dishes were all left there without moving. Zhao Qing also found that those people's faces were blue, even the color of the peppers, not a living person, like a ghost.

  At this point, Li Liang suddenly screamed.

  Zhao Qing frowned and looked over, just want to accuse Li Liang so screaming may attract the attention of the ghosts, but saw Li Liang is staring straight at his chopsticks on the clip of a thing.

  Zhao Qing took a look and saw that what Li Liang was holding was a human finger. Before Zhao Qing had time to throw up, he noticed that there was a small mole on top of that finger. He remembered that Feng Tang's finger also had a mole on it.

  In other words, what Zhao Qing and the others were eating was the meat of their roommate and good buddy Feng Tang.

  As if from Zhao Qing's reaction and face derived the same answer as himself, Li Liang directly bent down and vomited out all the food he had just eaten.

  Zhao Qing was also a burst of nausea, just bent over to vomit, and saw a ghost master towards himself. He immediately felt a burst of unease, want to remind Li Liang not to throw up again, but opened his mouth but almost vomited, so he hurriedly covered his mouth, did not say anything out.

  The ghost master walked to stand behind Li Liang, and did not speak, so coldly watching Li Liang.

  Li Liang vomited on the ground, the vomit emitted a pungent smell, smoked the already strong vomit Zhao Qing was a dry vomit. However, the person next to him did not even glance over, still eating his own meal, and eating very well.

  Zhao Qing glanced at Liu Fan beside him and saw that the other party also looked horrified.

  Li Liang seemed to want to vomit out all the internal organs, vomit from yellow peppers, red meat into green juice. Finally, he stood up straight, his bloodshot, bloodshot eyes looked at Zhao Qing, obviously very difficult to bear.

  Zhao Qing kept winking at Li Liang, signaling that there was a "man" behind him, but Li Liang did not respond in the slightest.

  At this time, the ghost master acted. He suddenly pulled out a large rolling pin from behind him, then grabbed Li Liang's neck with one hand, pressed Li Liang to the table, and rolled Li Liang's neck with the rolling pin.

  "Ah..." Li Liang immediately let out a pig-like scream and struggled with his arms and legs, but to no avail.

  Zhao Qing and Liu Fan clearly heard a "gab" sound, saw Li Liang mouth spit out a large mouthful of blood, and then the eyes grew wider and wider, stopped struggling.

  Apparently, the ghost master used the rolling pin to roll Li Liang's neck to break.

  I saw the ghost master put the rolling pin on the table, then hands clasped Li Liang's neck, and did not see how hard it, Li Liang's head "poof" removed from the neck. The blood sprayed all over it, and also sprayed Zhao Qing and Liu Fan, who were sitting there stunned.

  Li Liang's body fell to the ground with a "thud", the ghost master did not bother with his body, but put his head on the table, and picked up the rolling pin next to it. It first used the rolling pin to hit Li Liang's head hard, until it smashed Li Liang's head to a pulp on the table, then took out two kitchen knives from behind him, "when when when" chopped up.

  Soon, Li Liang's head turned into a pile of blackened meat.

  This is the most horrifying scene Zhao Qing has ever seen in his life, his heart felt more fear than before seeing Feng Tang's head chopped off. Finally, he ran out of the cafeteria screaming in the pull of Liu Fan.

  The students next to them didn't even look at them, still eating their meals with gusto.

  The Plan

  Zhao Qing and Liu Fan ran in one breath to the front door of the school, which was locked tightly, with five or six guards in the security room glaring angrily at everyone who passed by. Zhao Qing and Liu Fan knew that those must also be the ghosts occupying this school, and that it was simply impossible for them to escape the school through the gate.

  "I must escape from here, or the next meal I have to eat, is my own good buddy's head made of meat stuffing!" Zhao Qing said and cried.

  Feng Tang, Li Liang and he came to this school together, the three people have a very good relationship, good buddies in front of their own eyes one after another by the ghosts killed, this thing if it is anyone else can not tolerate, accept.

  Liu Fan is also full of horror: "I also want to escape from here, even if the end is death, we have to fight!"

  Zhao Qing nodded: "Yes, waiting for death and torture here, it is better to give up one's life to fight!"

  Two people said, together they came to the green pepper field.

  Zhao Qing swallowed a mouthful of saliva, pointing to the wall on the ground planted those peppers said: "These peppers will become ghosts at night, is it possible that these peppers themselves are ghosts of things?"

  Liu Fan listened to think for a while, suddenly bright: "I understand!" He took Zhao Qing's hand and said, "It's not that the peppers became ghosts, the peppers are still peppers, they still have the effect of repelling ghosts. The ghosts you see are probably the ghosts of people who were killed by the evil spirits that occupied this school. Those people were killed by the evil spirits, naturally, their hearts are full of resentment. After they died, those evil spirits buried their bodies here to plant green peppers - it is said that decaying corpses are more nutritious to plants and can strengthen plant growth."

  Zhao Qing was dumbfounded to hear that there were so many ghosts in this school, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

  Unexpectedly Liu Fan then said: "I have an idea! These ghosts who were killed must hate the evil spirits that occupy the school, we will release these ghosts, maybe they can help us to deal with those evil spirits."

  "What?" Zhao Qing suddenly widened his eyes, "You mean, we release these unjust spirits? How?"

  Liu Fan said: "These evil spirits can only appear at night, because the night is heavy with Yin energy. And they can not escape from here, it is obvious that they are shackled by something and can not leave."

  Zhao Qing froze and asked: "What is it?"

  Liu Fan: "Green pepper."

  Zhao Qing listened and understood: although the corpses of these ghosts gave the peppers the nutrients they needed to grow, the peppers still shackled their souls with the effect of exorcising ghosts.

  Zhao Qing asked again: "So what do we do?"

  Liu Fan corner of the mouth competition to reveal a confident smile: "We come at night to pull out all these peppers, you can release these ghosts."

  Hearing this, Zhao Qing immediately felt a chill leap up the back.

  Plucking peppers

  At night, after it was completely dark, Zhao Qing and Liu Fan ran together to the pepper field.

  At this time, the green pepper ground covered with a black fog, looks weird rash people. And those black fog below, in addition to the original peppers, at this time there are many more limbs, as well as a ghostly cry.

  Zhao Qing looked at this scene like purgatory, scared legs are shivering up.

  At this time, Liu Fan suddenly took out a handful of peppers from his pocket and stuffed them into Zhao Qing's hand "You quickly eat these, and then go and pull down all the peppers."

  Zhao Qing was stunned: "Then what are you doing,"

  Liu Fan: "I am responsible for watching out for you here!"

  Zhao Qing smacked his lips twice and was speechless. He gritted his teeth and took the peppers and stuffed them into his mouth with a big bite. When he finished eating a few peppers, Zhao Qing felt his whole brain was filled with the taste of peppers, making him feel a little dizzy.

  "Go pluck the green peppers!"

  With Liu Fan's words, Zhao Qing dazedly ran into the pepper field, not caring about the ghosts buried inside the ground.

  Zhao Qing plucked peppers one by one, from time to time a ghost grabbed him a hand, but he simply could not care less, his mind is to pluck all these peppers as soon as possible.

  Finally, when Zhao Qing was scratched and bruised by the ghosts, he plucked all the pepper seedlings on the ground. He held the pepper seedlings and ran towards Liu Fan with excitement.

  Zhao Qing and Liu Fan ran back to the dormitory in one breath, knowing that the ghosts are afraid of green peppers, Zhao Qing kept chewing the peppers in his mouth, afraid that if he stopped, he would be maimed by the ghosts. Back in the dormitory, he hung a heart to put down a little bit.

  When he finally calmed down, Zhao Qing just wanted to ask Liu Fan if they were safe for the time being and what to do next. But before he could say anything, Liu Fan spoke up first.

  Liu Fan said: "You know why green pepper has the effect of driving away ghosts, but those evil spirits still forced you to eat?"

  Zhao Qing was stunned, thinking carefully, and found that he had not really thought about this issue. This seems contradictory, what exactly is it for?

  Liu Fan suddenly smiled wryly, then said, "That's because, their original intention is not to maim the living, but to help people."

  "Help people?"

  Liu Fan went on to say: "Green pepper does have the effect of driving away ghosts. Those dishes about green pepper in the cafeteria are not actually made by ghosts, but by people. Those ghosts make people make green peppers and give them to other people to eat so that they won't be maimed by the ghosts."

  Zhao Qing suddenly thought of something and interrupted Liu Fan: "You said those ghosts are evil ghosts, since they are protecting people, what other ghosts are trying to harm people int?"

  Liu Fan coldly smiled: "You are really a fool! The ghosts that really harm people are those buried in the green pepper field, they are not at all unjust spirits, but real evil spirits. Those evil ghosts were buried in the green pepper field by those good ghosts and sealed them with green peppers. But today, you have released those real evil spirits."

  Zhao Qing listened to the cold, he violently pushed Liu Fan: "You lied to me right, why did you ......"

  He didn't finish his words, he held them back hard - just as he pushed so, Liu Fan's body backed up a bit, his head actually rolled off his neck.

  Liu Fan's head rolled to Zhao Qing's feet and said to Zhao Qing with a wry smile: "I'm not lying to you, I'm also an 'evil spirit' ......"

  At the same time, there was a clutter of voices coming from the corridor outside the door. Zhao Qing knew that they were coming ......
