"Ding ding ding ding ding!"

The restaurant suddenly reverberated with a massive noise, startling everyone out of their wits.

The sound came from an old-fashioned clock on the wall.

A small door on the clock opened, and a little figure came out striking a drum to announce the time, singing:

Three monkeys swinging on a swing, mocking the crocodile for being drowned.

The crocodile is coming, the crocodile is coming, roar, roar, roar!!!

The little figure stopped singing at this point, but everyone's hair stood on end!

Two people are already dead. Who will be the third monkey?

The clock on the wall pointed straight to midnight, and this nursery rhyme seemed like a death knell for all of us.

A thunderstorm outside instantly swept through the heavens and earth, causing the entire villa to shake.

The phone in my pocket vibrated twice, but I had no mind to look.

Yu Duola glanced at her own phone, her whole body froze.

It was as if an invisible hand had seized her throat. She gripped the table with one hand and struggled to remind us, "You, you guys, quickly check your phones!!!"

Her voice was hoarse, utterly terrifying.

Instinctively, I pulled out my phone.

The teacher Zhang, who died twelve years ago, had sent us all a WeChat message.

The sent time was midnight, 12 o'clock.

At this moment, the blurred smile on Zhang's profile picture seemed to peer directly through the phone screen, staring straight up from hell, chilling my spine.

"What is happening?!! What is happening???"

Hu Mo went completely mad; he threw his phone away as if it had touched a venomous snake.

Frowning, I stared at the name "Zhang Tianyuan." This felt wrong.

Though the profile picture was indeed the same ID photo of Teacher Zhang from back in school days.

And the nickname was her real name, Zhang Tianyuan.

But it didn't mean someone could climb out of hell to send messages.

There are no ghosts in this world.

Two unread messages.

I gritted my teeth and fiercely opened the chat window.

[Wang Tiantian, seeing you now with great achievements, the teacher feels very gratified. The teacher is extremely curious if, in the middle of the night, you ever regretted what happened back then?]

The second message was a blurry picture, only vaguely showing someone lying on the ground, wearing black clothes, gender indistinguishable.

Suddenly, fear spread up my spine like a venomous snake——

It was the scene where Teacher Zhang had jumped to her death!

The incident was a huge scandal back then. Official media photos were deleted, but various rumors and gory photos were rampant.

Some said she deserved it, while others claimed she got what was coming to her.

And there were even those who said she would descend into the 18 levels of hell.

If you looked closely, you could still see red and white fluids spreading around the head area...
