Chapter 308: A Night Visit to the Old Building
Chapter 308: A Night Visit to the Old Building
Seeing Wang Xing insisted on going in, Song Bing, although frightened, had no choice but to tough it out and move forward to avoid looking weak.
Just as they approached the old building, they were stopped by the security captain, Ma Baoguo, and his team.
"Wu Bin, what are you guys up to?"
Seeing Wu Bin and his group’s aggressive approach, Ma Baoguo quickly came over with a smile to greet Wu Bin.
Wu Bin was the current favorite of Xu Wenyao. Ever since he had built a good relationship with Wu Bin, Xu Wenyao had looked more favorably upon him, and now the entire safety of the agricultural university campus was in Ma Baoguo’s hands, a significant responsibility.
Ma Baoguo, cunning with age, knew that his position today was all thanks to Wu Bin.
Therefore, Ma Baoguo had great respect for Wu Bin.
Wu Bin said, "Uncle Ma, we want to take a look inside the old building."
Upon hearing this, Ma Baoguo’s smile immediately stiffened.
"Go into the old building? Wu Bin, don’t joke with me. What’s there to see in that ominous place?"
Ma Baoguo said seriously, "A lot of people died here in a fire before. It’s really sinister. You really shouldn’t go inside."
Ma Baoguo spoke the truth. At that moment, looking at the old building through the fence, they could directly see the charred walls and some burnt doors and windows, which gave an eerie and uncanny feeling.
Even if most people didn’t understand anything about Taoist rituals, seeing the state of the old building at that time, everyone was quite frightened.
The viewers in the live stream were also in a heated discussion.
"It wasn’t this shocking when I saw the photos before, but taking a closer look at this old building now, it indeed seems a bit terrifying."
"It’s hard to imagine there is such a building on the campus of the agricultural university. The leaders of the university are really bold, not thinking about tearing it down and rebuilding?"
"Who says they haven’t thought about demolishing and rebuilding? I heard that some leaders had proposed it before, but apparently, an incident occurred during the demolition process, which is why it has been left like this until now."
"My god, an incident happened during the demolition? Then this is definitely a wicked place. What do I do, I’m really scared now. I hope watching the live stream won’t attract evil spirits to my door, right?"
The viewers in the live stream were scared.
Song Bing was also scared.
But neither Wu Bin nor Wang Xing felt any fear.
Wu Bin said to Ma Baoguo, "Uncle Ma, we just want to investigate something inside, we promise we will be quick and won’t cause you any trouble."
"No, no."
Ma Baoguo repeatedly waved his hands.
"If you want to go somewhere else, I might be able to turn a blind eye, but you absolutely can’t go into that old building."
"Listen to your uncle’s advice, go back. Do what you need to do and don’t come here looking for trouble. It’s not good for you."
Wu Bin had anticipated many scenarios, but never thought they would be stopped by the security.
Seeing Ma Baoguo’s adamant attitude, Wu Bin knew that forcing their way in was not an option, so he could only lead the group back to the dormitory.
On the way back, Song Bing took the opportunity to say, "Old Wu, you see even Uncle Ma said that. It means that the old building is really dangerous."
"Uncle Ma is a security guard. It wouldn’t be good for us to break in forcefully. We all know him well, we should at least give Uncle Ma some respect, right?"
Wu Bin glanced at the camera, didn’t say much, and after returning to the dormitory, he started dealing with company matters as if he had completely let go of the idea of going to the old building.
Later that night, after He Bingbing and the cameraman left, Wu Bin went into the bedroom and woke up Song Bing, who was still asleep.
Startled from his deep sleep by Wu Bin, Song Bing was still groggy and his mind couldn’t catch up at first.
"Old Wu? It’s the middle of the night—why aren’t you sleeping, and why did you wake me up?"
Song Bing was somewhat displeased.
He hadn’t slept well the night before and his body was still sore.
It was not easy to get to bed early today, but I ended up being awakened by Wu Bin.
Wu Bin spoke up, "Stop talking; put on your clothes, and let’s go."
Song Bing was startled for a moment.
"Go? Where are we going?"
Wu Bin glanced at him and said, "Of course, to the old building. Where else? I’ve checked, and there are no security guards at night. It’s the perfect time for us to go in."
Song Bing was nearly in tears.
He thought this matter had passed since Wu Bin hadn’t brought it up during the day.
Unexpectedly, Wu Bin chose not to go during the day but rather insisted on going to the old building at night.
Song Bing said with a guilty conscience, "Bro, you know we’re brothers, right? I’m scared to go there even in broad daylight, let alone at night."
"Can’t you just feel sorry for me, and we stay in the dorm and sleep soundly at night?"
Wu Bin said seriously, "So you’re saying you’re too scared to go? Well, okay, it’s up to you, but Lin Nan was still asking about the old building today. If she asks again later, I’ll just have to tell her the truth."
Hearing this from Wu Bin, Song Bing suddenly perked up.
He hurriedly got up to dress, saying as he did, "Old Wu, you still don’t understand me, do you? Am I the type to be scared?"
"The only reason I didn’t want to go was that I was worried about your safety. Since you’ve decided to go, how could you not bring me along?"
"I’ve changed my clothes; let’s go."
Hearing Song Bing talk like this, Wu Bin felt contempt.
With Song Bing’s love-struck mind, he was beyond saving.
After a quick packing, the group went straight to the outside of the old building.
Just as Wu Bin had said, there were no security guards outside the building at the time.
After all, who would want to stay outside such a creepy building in the middle of the night?
With a salary of just over three thousand a month, it wasn’t worth risking their lives.
They opened the rusty iron gate and entered.
Song Bing, who had boasted earlier about not being scared, was now trembling like a leaf, walking with shaky legs.
Especially after they entered the teaching building of the old building, Song Bing was so scared that he got goosebumps.
"Why didn’t we come during the day, Old Wu? It’s too scary at night. If the main entrance is closed during the day, couldn’t we just climb in from somewhere else?"
Song Bing was truly regretting it now.
If he had known, he would have come during the day. At least the sunlight would have made him feel more secure and less frightened.
Now, coming in the middle of the night, just the atmosphere of the old building was enough to make Song Bing shiver uncontrollably.
Wu Bin said indifferently, "I was live streaming during the day. It’s not convenient with so many people around, and who knows if Uncle Ma was in my live stream."
"Now, there’s no live streaming at night. It’s the perfect time for us to act."
Song Bing was on the verge of crying.
It was convenient, but it was truly scary.
"Enough talk; let’s head to the second floor first."
Wu Bin took the lead, and suddenly his flashlight flickered, instantly making Song Bing scream.
"A person! There’s someone standing over there!"
