"Wow...what is this place..."

Looking at the dark corridor around her, Setsuna couldn't help but tremble and leaned tightly against Touma, who seemed to have calmed down at this moment and was taking pictures of the surroundings with his cell phone.

"This looks like a school... and it seems to be an elementary school..."

Hearing Touma's answer, Setsuna's face turned pale.

"Could it be that we have entered the movie we just watched..."

"Calm down, Kokiso."

Touma shook his head.

"There was no school in the movie we just watched."

"But what to do now?"

Holding Touma's arm tightly, Setsuna looked around anxiously.

"There are only two of us here, everyone else is gone, and the phone is not working..."

"ah--!!!"

However, just as Setsuna finished her words, a scream suddenly came from not far above their heads. Hearing the scream, both of them were startled, and Setsuna was so frightened that she hugged Touma tightly.

"What, what's that sound?"

"Maybe it's someone else, maybe something happened... Anyway, let's go and take a look."

"Um……"

Although she was a little reluctant, Setsuna knew that this was the best way, so she nodded, and walked up the stairs quickly with Touma, and then came to the third floor.

This place was as shabby and old as other places. At this moment, in the innermost room, a girl's painful cry was heard.

"Please... please... don't..."

Hearing the painful cry, both Setsuna and Touma swallowed their saliva involuntarily, and then they carefully came to the place where the sound came from. They carefully stuck their heads out and looked inside. Then, the two of them couldn't help but widen their eyes in surprise.

There was a toilet inside, and at the end of the toilet, a girl with short hair and wearing a sailor suit was sneering and reaching out to put another curly-haired girl on the rope. The curly-haired girl had her hands tied behind her back, and she was looking at the short-haired girl in fear. She wanted to struggle, but she had no way to move.

“Hehehe…”

However, the short-haired girl seemed to be completely oblivious to the other party's pleas for mercy. She just sneered sinisterly, then grabbed the rope and pulled it down hard. The curly-haired girl whimpered in pain and stood up involuntarily... Then I saw the short-haired girl picked up a bucket and placed it at the feet of the curly-haired girl.

"Wait, this is obviously not good!"

Seeing this, Xue Cai began to tremble. No matter how you look at it, this scene is not normal. No, not only is it abnormal, it can even be said to be quite weird and dangerous! !

"We have to save that girl."

At this time, Touma frowned and spoke in a low voice. Hearing Touma's words, Setsuna panicked.

"Save? How?"

"I'll go save her, Ogiso, you attract her attention! And then use the flashlight on her!?"

"…Huh? Me?"

After hearing Touma's plan, Setsuna was somewhat hesitant. After all, it was too risky anyway. The short-haired girl didn't look like a normal person. What if she attracted her attention and attacked her? But Setsuna didn't dare to exchange with Touma. After all, rushing to the short-haired girl to save her was also a very scary thing.

It is still unknown who the short-haired girl will target.

For a moment, Setsuna even wanted to pull Touma away, but after hearing the painful whimpers and cries for help from the curly-haired girl inside, she gritted her teeth.

"Okay, just consider it as me being fooled by you this time!"

"Well, one, two, three!"

As soon as Touma finished speaking, Setsuna suddenly stood up, walked to the door of the room, raised the phone in her hand and pointed it at the short-haired girl.

"Hello!!"

"Um?"

Hearing Xuecai's voice, the short-haired girl turned her head in surprise and looked towards her. At the same time, Xuecai closed her eyes and pressed the shooting button hard.

“Crack!!”

The pure white light of the flashlight instantly lit up, illuminating the entire toilet. The short-haired girl obviously did not expect this to happen. She covered her eyes in pain and screamed.

“Wa ...

"Right now, Touma!!"

Looking at the short-haired girl who was briefly blinded by the flash, Setsuna shouted, and at this time Touma, who received the signal, rushed into the room, then ran directly to the short-haired girl, grabbed the hand of the curly-haired girl who was lying on the ground, and pulled her up.

“Wow——!! Wow——!!”

The short-haired girl seemed to be in a state of panic and hysteria. She waved her hands desperately, trying to block something. But Touma easily dodged her attack with the curly-haired girl and left the room.

"Setsuna, let's go!"

"Um!!"

With the curly-haired girl, the three of them hurried down the stairs. They ran for an unknown amount of time before they finally hid in a classroom that looked like an abandoned classroom. Then Xue Cai turned around and closed the door. With a "clang", the dilapidated door of the classroom was heavily closed. Only at this time did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"This, this...what on earth is this place...what on earth happened here..."

While leaning against the wall and panting, Setsuna couldn't help but complain, and Touma next to her shook his head.

"I...I don't know...what's going on..."

Having said that, Touma looked at the curly-haired girl beside him.

"You, are you okay?"

“Ah… um…”

After hearing Touma's question, the curly-haired girl seemed to finally react. She let out a long sigh of relief and then sat down on the ground.

"Thank you...thank you for saving me..."

"No, nothing..."

Xuecai forced a smile and waved her hand, then she walked in front of the girl and stared at her.

"My name is Setsuna Ogiso, this is Kazusa Touma, what's your name?"

"My name is Shinohara Yoko..."

At this moment, the curly-haired girl finally calmed down. She touched the rope around her neck with lingering fear, then untied it and threw it aside.

"So, Shinohara-san, who was that...that girl just now? What exactly is going on?"

"I don't know either……"

Hearing this, Shinohara Yoshiko also lowered her head and showed a painful expression.

"I don't know... why Naomi did this... I... I... I'm not..."

"Well……"

Seeing Saiko curled up in pain, Setsuna and Touma looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment. But Setsuna was quick-witted, smiled again, and changed the subject.

"By the way, Shinohara-san, I want to ask... where exactly is this place? What on earth is going on?"

"here it is……"

Perhaps it was Setsuna's words that soothed her, and Shinohara Yoko gradually calmed down and told Setsuna and the others what had happened to her. Shinohara Yoko was a student at Kisaragi Academy, and she had a friend named Suzumoto Mayu. After the cultural festival, Suzumoto Mayu would transfer to another school due to family and work reasons. Because they were reluctant to let her go, everyone stayed in the classroom after the cultural festival to see her off.

At that time, their class leader Shinozaki Ayumi took out a paper man and said it was a "Happy Sachiko" spell. As long as everyone silently recited the spell and then tore off one piece of the paper man and put it on themselves, they could be friends forever.

At that time, no one thought much about it, just treating it as a ceremony to send off their friends, but they didn't expect that after the ceremony, the floor suddenly cracked, and when they woke up, they were here...

And this Tenjin Elementary School was the school where several children were rumored to have disappeared. It had been closed a long time ago, and after it was razed, Kisaragi Academy was built. But Zeiko couldn't explain why the school, which should have disappeared long ago, appeared here, and why they appeared here.

"Happy Sachiko???"

Hearing this, Touma and Setsuna were also confused, and Saiko seemed to have noticed their confusion.

"Didn't you...come in here through this ceremony?"

"No, no, no, we were watching a horror movie at Kasugano-kun's house, and then suddenly the phone rang... Then Kasugano-kun answered the phone, and then suddenly there was an earthquake... Then we appeared here..."

Speaking of this, Xue Cai also became excited.

"By the way, where are the others?"

"I'm looking for it too!"

Shi Yizi also cheered up at this moment.

"Naomi and I heard Yuka's voice before, and I think your friend must be somewhere in this school!"

"Then we must find them immediately."

As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. Now that the three of them were together, they seemed to feel much more at ease. After making the decision, Dong Ma also stood up and planned to open the door.

However……

“Click, click…”

"well?"

"What's wrong, Touma?"

"The door...can't be opened!"

"How come?"

Hearing this, Xue Cai and Shi Yizi's faces changed drastically. They also rushed over and tried to open the door, but the door could not be opened at all. Not only that, they also clearly saw that the door was not locked at all!

It's obviously not locked, but I can't open it!

What on earth is going on? !
