"It was a night in early summer.

Six high school students came to the back mountain of the school.

All were boys, and their names were: Li Bin, Jia Ming, Hu Sheng, Zhao Guan, Wang Xiaowen, and Wang Xiaowu.

This day was the third day after the college entrance examination. Although everything was still unknown before the results were announced, this would not affect their carnival in the next half month.

And tonight, the way they prepared to celebrate... was to use textbooks as fuel for a barbecue party.

Perhaps it seemed a bit absurd, but for them at the time, it was definitely a good idea. The six had already agreed on this plan the day after the exam. They chose the back mountain of the school as the gathering place, and the time was set at nine o'clock in the evening.

That night, after night fell, the six arrived at the bus stop near the school one after another.

Wang Xiaowen and Wang Xiaowu, the two brothers, arrived the earliest, and they brought the barbecue ingredients. Zhao Guan came next, bringing a portable refrigerator full of iced beer. Li Bin and Jia Ming also arrived one after another, and they were responsible for bringing the barbecue equipment and tableware. As it approached nine o'clock, Hu Sheng also came, bringing gasoline and matches.

Of course, in addition to these things, each of them... carried a schoolbag filled with textbooks.

After the six met, they took a small path around to the mountain.

The back mountain of the school was not a steep mountain peak; to put it bluntly, it was just a barren hillside. Generally, it only took fifteen minutes to reach the top of the mountain. The forest on the mountain was not dense, and because no one had taken care of it for many years, most of the trees had withered and weeds grew everywhere on the roadside.

The six boys were all vigorous teenagers, and although they were carrying heavy objects, their speed up the mountain was hardly affected.

In less than twenty minutes, they reached the top of the back mountain.

Here, they could overlook the entire school below. From the school buildings to the playground, everything was clear at a glance.

Before long, they set up the equipment needed for the barbecue, prepared the fuel, and lit the fire.

The group sat around the campfire, talking and laughing, and began to barbecue.

They used the textbooks that had tormented them countless days and nights as paper towels to wipe their hands and mouths, and from time to time they tore off a few pages or the whole book and threw them into the fire.

They looked at the distant school buildings, and many complex emotions surged into their hearts. There were indeed many bad memories there, but there were also good things...

In any case, the three years there were an indelible part of their growing experience. Perhaps the things that seemed bitter today would settle into other flavors many years later.

After drinking for a while, they ate their fill of sauce.

A few hours later, the ingredients they had brought were eaten up, and the textbooks were basically burned to a crisp.

But there was still enough beer, about a third left.

At this time, the night was dark, and Hu Sheng suddenly had a whim and said, 'By the way, have you heard of... any ghost stories about this back mountain?'

Jia Ming immediately replied, 'I've heard of it, it seems to be called... Blood-Soaked School Beauty?'

Li Bin said, 'Eh? Why did I hear it was called the Matricidal Maniac?'

Wang Xiaowen and Wang Xiaowu said, 'The version we heard is called... the Scavenger.'

Zhao Guan shrugged and said, 'Wandering Ghost.'

'Huh? So there are so many ghost stories about the back mountain of our school?' Hu Sheng himself was taken aback. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to tell a ghost story to scare these guys, but he didn't expect everyone to have heard similar stories.

'How about... we each tell one?' Hu Sheng suggested.

The others agreed, so after chatting for a few more sentences, they began to narrate one by one.

In fact, ghost stories are... to put it simply, they can be summarized in three or five sentences, or even one sentence. But these guys embellished them and told them as ghost stories, which really dragged on for a long time.

The 'Blood-Soaked School Beauty' that Jia Ming told was roughly about... a very beautiful girl who was ostracized and bullied by other female students because of her appearance. Finally, one day, she couldn't bear it anymore. She came to the back mountain, cut her face with a utility knife until it was covered in blood, and died. In the three months after that, all the girls who had bullied her died on this mountain one after another. When they died, their faces were severely distorted, as if an invisible hand wanted to pinch their faces into someone else's appearance...

Li Bin's story of the 'Matricidal Maniac' was about... a perverted serial killer teacher who specialized in targeting students in the school. Every time he killed a student, he dismembered the body and hid it in this back mountain. Until one night... he went up the mountain again to discard the body, but never came down again. Later, the police found his body on the mountain, and found a large number of other people's body fragments around it. Those fragments covered the teacher's body like a swarm of insects, and could not be pulled off.

The Wang brothers' Scavenger ghost story was the simplest, saying that... on the mountain, sometimes an old man with a hunched figure and a blue face carrying a basket would appear. If he greets you, you must not answer, just pretend you didn't hear it, otherwise you will be thrown into the basket and taken away...

And Zhao Guan's 'Wandering Ghost' was about... a very cowardly student who was afraid of bullying, so he dared not go to school. So, every morning after leaving home, he hid in the back mountain and stayed there until dark before returning home. After a period of time, because he could not eat lunch for a long time, his body became weaker and weaker; coupled with being in a daze all day, his spirit also became trance-like. Later, the school and parents finally discovered this, and they indiscriminately blamed the student for everything, and the family even beat him severely. As a result, the next day, the student left home as usual and never came back. It is said that since that day, people often see a figure wandering on the mountain, but as soon as someone approaches, he disappears, and no one can ever find him...

The five people finished telling their stories one after another, and finally, it was Hu Sheng's turn.

As the initiator, he was confident that the ghost story he was going to tell was the most terrifying, so he came out last.

At this time, the atmosphere had become quite strange. Even though these six boys were all fearless, they couldn't help but sweat in their palms and break out in cold sweat after listening to four ghost stories in a row in this environment and atmosphere.

Seeing that the time was approaching midnight, at this time when the spiritual atmosphere was at its strongest, Hu Sheng's narration began...

'The ghost story I'm going to tell... doesn't have a fixed name, because it has too many names, and no one knows the original name.' Hu Sheng was an eloquent person, so he deliberately created suspense from the beginning, 'The story is like this... Many years ago, there were two students in this school, a boy and a girl. They were childhood sweethearts since they were young, and they had a romantic relationship when they were in the second year of high school, and even had a physical relationship...

But good times don't last long, and this matter was eventually known by both parents. The next thing is naturally a drama of beating mandarin ducks. And these mandarin ducks did not stop there. They had no money and no ability to leave their families and live independently. The only thing they could do was to use their lives to accuse the world...

So, on a dark and windy night, the two of them came to the mountain...'

Hu Sheng suddenly stopped talking at this point.

His expression changed drastically, his face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes stared straight ahead.

Li Bin, Jia Ming, Zhao Guan, and the Wang brothers also felt something was wrong. They turned their heads nervously and looked in the direction Hu Sheng was looking...

But they saw two figures, a man and a woman, each holding a flashlight, walking slowly along the path up the mountain.

Although they were not wearing school uniforms, judging from their figures and appearance, they were undoubtedly high school students.

Vaguely, they could still hear their conversation...

'Hey, I said... don't you think... it suddenly got colder around here...' the girl said.

'Is it?' The boy said in an indifferent tone, 'It's just your psychological effect...' He squeezed out a smile, 'It's just a courage test, don't be so nervous.'

'But this back mountain is really weird...' the girl replied, 'Haven't you heard of the ghost story of the 'Six Ghosts'?'

The two walked and talked, and as they spoke, they just 'passed' through the bodies of Hu Sheng and the other five.

At the same time, the campfire, barbecue grill, beer, ashes, all disappeared.

'Huh? What the hell?' the boy continued.

The girl mysteriously said, 'I heard that... many years ago, also on a summer night, six boys came to this back mountain... to have a barbecue with textbooks.'

'Haha... are you crazy?' the boy said with a smile.

'It is said that they were all senior high school students who had just taken the college entrance examination,' the girl replied.

'Oh... then I can understand,' the boy replied.

The girl continued, 'But I didn't expect... that an accident happened during the barbecue, which caused a fire, and eventually turned into a forest fire, burning all six of them to death on the mountain... Most of the forest on this mountain was also burned down, and it has become a barren mountain ever since.'

'This is a case of extreme joy leading to sorrow...' the boy replied, while inadvertently stroking his arm, because at this time... he also felt a slight chill.

'That's not the end of it...' the girl said, 'Later, the results of the college entrance examination were announced, and as a result, all six of them were admitted to their ideal universities. Unfortunately... they will never see their admission letters.'

'Heh... hehe... it's kind of creepy...' the boy's smile became more and more unnatural, the hairs on his body stood on end, and he was constantly glancing at the surrounding environment from the corner of his eye, as if he wanted to confirm if there was anything hidden in the darkness...

'From then on...' the girl continued, 'there has been a rumor... that on summer nights, lights occasionally appear on the mountain, and that's the six of them...'

Her words came to an abrupt end, because... she saw a charred and festering hand resting on the shoulder of the boy next to her, and that boy seemed completely unaware..."

Feng Bujue's story could be considered finished here. He paused for a few seconds and stared at Mimicry Soul, saying, "Okay, it's over, is it okay?"
