Chapter Twenty: School Ghost Stories 20

Lu Cen hadn't expected that the original owner had also contributed to Xiang Ming's death. For a moment, she felt her hands and feet turn cold. If the school used to be filled with fear and uncertainty about tomorrow, the school now was in complete chaos with a large number of students missing. Danger was lurking beneath the calm surface.

When one learns that their life is nearing its end, no one can suppress their human nature.

Lu Cen quickly took a shower and changed his clothes. Between spending the night in 609 and spending the night alone, he chose the former. Although Su Yi'an had made unwanted advances towards him, safety was more important. More people meant more peace of mind.

But to his surprise, a boy was standing at the door as soon as he opened the dormitory door.

He was wearing a school uniform, muscular, and half a head taller than him.

Lu Cen asked in confusion, "Is something the matter?"

The door to the dormitory next door opened, and a group of people walked out.

“I told you I saw him come back, but you didn’t believe me.”

"You have a sharp eye."

"Alright, enough with the nonsense."

Lu Cen had a bad feeling. Seeing the group of people surrounding him, he tried to close the door, but his toes blocked the gap. The group of people stared at Lu Cen with ill intent.

"What, you're chickening out now that no one's protecting you?"

This sounds so familiar; I witnessed the group of people in front of me getting beaten up saying the same thing.

"You guys used to bully everyone you saw, and you were so arrogant. Why aren't you arrogant now? Keep being arrogant."

"Hahaha, he can't be arrogant. All those people are dead, only he and that coward in front of him are left."

Lu Cen was pushed and shoved into the dormitory. Once the group of people came in, there was no room to move. The dormitory was small and stuffy. Lu Cen was pushed to the ground and his hand was stepped on by a foot. Lu Cen was in pain and sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Ouch! Why didn't you say it hurt when you slapped me before?"

At an age when he should be carefree, his face was filled with ferocity.

Lu Cen endured the pain: "What do you want?"

"Simple, we'll return everything we suffered to you, and that'll be the end of it, okay?"

Even if Lu Cen doesn't die, he'll be half-dead.

A hand suddenly grabbed Lu Cen's collar and dragged him back a short distance, about to slap him. But Lu Cen arched his body in pain, revealing the bright red blood on his shoulder. The person paused, squatted down beside him, and inexplicably grabbed his hair. Lu Cen lifted his head with the force, his eyes were horribly red, and his fair face was contorted in pain. Looking down, his entire chest was covered in red and purple marks.

Someone, growing impatient, stepped forward and said, "Are you done yet? If you're done, it's my turn."

The man didn't answer, his fingers tracing down her neck as he whispered, "So wanton, who kissed you?"

His movements weren't very discreet; some people saw them.

The dormitory, which was filled with violence and tension, instantly transformed into a place that was both beautiful and vibrant.

At the same time, a strange and eerie atmosphere filled the dormitory.

A tall figure slowly appeared on the balcony. Everyone stopped moving, but Lu Cen took advantage of the opportunity, crouched down, and knocked over two people before rushing out. His shoulder was in great pain, but he dared not stop. He heard someone behind him roar: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and chase after him!"

The footsteps behind me felt like a sword hanging over my head.

Lu Cen, panting, went to 609. He quickly locked the door, only to find that Su Yi'an was not inside.

When the group reached the door, they seemed to hesitate about something and did not bang on it.

Lu Cen paused for a moment, thinking of a solution. This place was never safe. Of all the schools, only the teachers' dormitories were a place that people would be wary of.

For example, Xie Lin.

But Xie Lin might not necessarily help him.

Suddenly, the door was slammed shut with a loud thud. Lu Cen's heart jumped. It seemed that Su Yi'an's influence at school was limited, and he wasn't afraid of Su Yi'an being in the dormitory at all.

"Thump, thump, thump."

The rhythmic yet terrifying sounds were pushing Lu Cen to his breaking point. He was trapped in his dormitory, and once those people came in, he wouldn't be able to escape.

The dormitory door wouldn't hold for long, Lu Cen knew. From there, she could climb over into the next dormitory or simply leave and find another place.

The balconies were too far apart, with no place to stand in between, and since he didn't know the situation in the neighboring dormitory, Lu Cen preferred the latter.

But this is the sixth floor, how can he get down?

He looked at the distance between the sixth floor and the ground and hesitated, but the noise outside was a death knell, leaving him no time to hesitate. So he rummaged around in the dormitory and found a climbing rope. He tied one end to the bed frame and the other end to his waist. Lu Cen climbed over the balcony, grabbed the rope with both hands and carefully moved down. His feet slipped on the smooth tiles from time to time, which scared Lu Cen so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. If he fell from here, he would be crippled even if he didn't die.

He was even more careful as he landed on the balcony railing on the third floor. There was no one inside. Lu Cen was overjoyed, untied the rope, and jumped in. At the same time, there was a loud bang from above.

"They ran away."

"Go find it!"

"They're definitely still in the dorm."

Lu Cen didn't dare stop. He rushed out of the dormitory and ran downhill. Soon, he left the dormitory building and ran towards the teaching building. He was quite familiar with the place, but his stamina couldn't keep up. After running two floors, Lu Cen's breathing became heavy, his chest heaved violently, sweat soaked his hair, and his cheeks turned pink, arousing even more sadistic desires.

Lu Cen's throat burned, and the cold air he inhaled was extremely uncomfortable. After only a few seconds, he lifted his foot again and slipped into a safety passage as he passed by.

The sign for the emergency exit was illuminated by a white light. In the dim light, Lu Cen saw two people in the stairwell. One was facing him with a vacant look in his eyes, while the other was leaning over the other with his back to Lu Cen, stabbing him repeatedly with a fruit knife. Crimson blood dripped down the stairs, and through the door, the people chasing him were also nearby.
