"In other words, what you saw and heard before was probably just your personal hallucination?"

"... Huh... I... I don't know... No, it's not..."

"Mr. Li, I still said that. If that's the case, we can't conclude that this is a supernatural event. It is more likely that there is something wrong with your body or mind."

"..."

"Mr. Li, are you okay?"

"I don't know...am...am I crazy?"

"It takes a hospital to make a diagnosis."

"..."

"Is your family aware of this situation?"

"No……"

"You can communicate with your family and go to the hospital with them for a detailed examination. Or, you can change the environment and take a period of leave. If the problems you are experiencing now are unavoidable, you can consider changing jobs. Leave campus. I know this is a big life decision that will affect your life, but your current situation looks really bad, and it will only get worse if it continues like this. This is just my personal opinion... …”

"No, didn't you hit evil?"

"This possibility is not completely ruled out. Let's do this. We will go to the school where you work to have a look, and you will also go to the hospital for a check-up. Is this okay?"

"I feel...I feel like I really saw...that child, that boy..."

"So, did you notice any distinguishing features about him at that time?"

"Characteristics... so tall, over 1.2 meters, neither fat nor thin, wearing a sweatshirt and sweatpants, not a set. The sports mountain is a black zip-up shirt, sweatpants... blue, blue Those sweatpants, you know? They have a white edge here."

"Hmm. These are not critical clues."

"..."

"Is there anything else you can think of?"

"No, that's all."

"So, what do you think of the proposal I just made?"

"Um...isn't it really a ghost?"

"It's not certain yet, but we think it's very unlikely."

"oh……"

"You expected it to be a ghost?"

"No, no! Of course not! I didn't expect to see a ghost, but...but I went crazy...I think my brain is not broken, I am normal, but I encountered this kind of thing..."

"Mr. Li, we are not saying that you are crazy. You may have a physical condition, fatigue, illness...or it may be mental stress that causes you to have hallucinations."

"What kind of pressure can I have as an art teacher? Alas..."

"Anyway, let's do a check-up first."

"Um……"

"...It was five o'clock that day, and all the students in the school were gone. When I was about to leave, I heard a sound..."

click!

"There's no sound in this guy."

"Sure enough, he still has his own problem."

"At least it means he's not haunted by a ghost."

"Let's take a look at the situation."

On March 13, 2002, I went to Bihai Primary School where the client worked. Audio file 01020020313.wav.

"Sorry, please let them in. They are looking for me."

"Teacher Li, is this your relative?"

"Yes. They are from the normal school and want to come to the school to have a look."

"Oh - are you looking for an art teacher? Is Teacher Xu going to take maternity leave?"

"Haha, they just came to have a look. They don't know where they will go after graduation."

…

"This way. We are in class now, please be gentler."

"Well, okay. Which classrooms do you see?"

"There are two rooms in front of the second floor and two rooms on that side."

"Um."

"How, how is it?"

"You mentioned the library before, right?"

"Yes, it's on the fifth floor, go up this way."

"Is this the staircase the boy took?"

"Huh? No, it's the stairs over there."

"Then let's go over there and have a look."

…

Da da da……

…

"This is it. My office is over here. When you come out, you can see the classroom opposite. That boy ran here. This wall blocked me, so I didn't see it..."

Da da da……

"You...do you think he might come from this window..."

"We just need to rule out all possibilities. For now, it seems there is no ghost here."

"ah……"

"Let's go to the library and have a look."

"okay."

…

Da da da……

…

"The library is in front, and the door should be locked now. However, the teacher in the library may be..."

Knock knock.

"The door is locked. He shouldn't be in the library."

"The northwest corner, that's over there, right?"

"There's also a library over there, and there's a row of them here."

"What kind of books are in that corner?"

"This...I really don't know this..."

"Teacher Li?"

"Ah, Teacher Zhang."

"What are you..."

"These are my relatives and his classmates, all from the normal school. They are about to graduate, so they came to the school to have a look..."

"Huh? Doesn't the school arrange an internship?"

"It's arranged, but it's just a high school. They want to see an elementary school. I happen to be working as an elementary school teacher..."

"Oh. Elementary school is different."

"Hello, Teacher Zhang. I heard that you are a teacher in the library here?"

"Well, you're welcome, come in and take a look."

Wow…

"Thank you very much."

Dang clang...

"Are these keys from the library?"

"Some are for the office. There are also quite a few keys to the library."

Ta, tap, tap...

"As you can see, our school library is quite big. Some books are not displayed in the back room."

"Yeah. Is there a warehouse behind?"

"Not counting the warehouse, it's just one room. Some of the books are quite old, from a long time ago. Our school also has a long history. We have to purchase new books every year. For children's classics, publishers release new editions every year. , as well as classic fairy tale books, teaching aids... So after accumulating, there are too many books. Here is half a reading room, half a library, and the bookshelf has to take care of children. It is designed to be very low, so many books cannot be placed. .”

"Yeah. It's very different from the high school library."

"yes."

"Can I see that warehouse?"

"Oh? Sure. But it's quite dusty."

"It doesn't matter."

"Sorry to trouble you, Teacher Xu."

"Nothing. ...What are you studying? Which subject?"

"Chinese."

"Oh. The Chinese teacher is very good. If you teach the upper grades, it's actually okay in elementary school. The children in the lower grades are more noisy. But the lower grades are also afraid of the teacher. As soon as the teacher appears, they behave."

"Um."

"It's better to become a high school teacher. Although it's hard work, you can make a lot of money. And it's much easier for high school students to communicate. At least it's easier to communicate than a ten-year-old child."

"Um."

"Teacher Xu, there seem to be a few books missing from the bookshelf over there?"

"Where? Oh, that one was borrowed by a teacher. It turned out to be the fairy tale series of Country E. A teacher wanted to open a public class, so he borrowed it."

"Can teachers also borrow books?"

"Yes. The teacher doesn't have a library card. To borrow books, you need to register."

Bang, bang, knock! Squeak——

"Well, this is the warehouse. The ventilation is a little bad, and some of the books are really old and have a smell. Sigh..."

"Teacher Xu, I am very interested in old books. Can you read these books?"

"ah?"

"I'm sorry, Teacher Xu, does it affect your work..."

"It's not...this..."

"It's just for a while. Teacher Xu, you can do your own thing. There is no need to stay with us here."

"this……"

"I'm really sorry, Teacher Xu, look at this..."

"Hey, it's nothing...they're all worthless old books, and there aren't any ancient or unique books."
