Chapter 465 Mysterious Campus (6)
Everyone gritted their teeth and set off again. This time, no one dared to cause trouble, and everyone walked trembling in fear in the dim and narrow corridor.
The teaching building is small, with three floors. On the second floor, there are only four ordinary classrooms except for a music classroom.
With a crisp "click", the already dim lights in the corridor suddenly lit up without any warning, appearing particularly abrupt in this dead silent space.
At the same time, the sun outside had been completely wrapped in thick, inky clouds, not allowing a single ray of light to shine through.
The young man with the backpack rubbed the dense goose bumps on his arms nervously. His eyes were full of fear. He looked at Xia Yueke worriedly, his voice trembling:
"Sister, can we please hurry up and go all the way? Why don't we just run and see everything? Do we have to dawdle so slowly? If this goes on, I really can't stand it anymore."
At this moment, strange things happened one after another. The lights in front of me flickered irregularly for a few seconds, and then the lights in the back suddenly went out.
The door of a classroom suddenly creaked open slowly, making a creepy sound.
From time to time, the sound of teachers teaching students to read could be heard from not far away, echoing in this empty teaching building, making it seem particularly eerie.
Liang Ying looked at the terrified faces of the people around him, and a vague smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Okay, then I'll listen to you and run!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out like an arrow and ran towards the stairs in front, apparently intending to go to the third floor.
His running was like a chain of dominoes. Seeing this, the people behind him dared not hesitate for a moment and immediately rushed forward, running as fast as they could, each one faster than the other, afraid of being left behind.
The chaotic sound of footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, each one becoming more rapid and heavier than the last.
I hadn't felt it was that scary before, but once I started running, the thrill of being chased by an unknown entity followed me everywhere.
Some people screamed in fear, their sharp cries piercing the silence, and several girls ran while shouting at the top of their lungs: "Wait for me! Wait for me!"
Various sounds intertwined together and the situation was completely out of control.
At first, Xia Yueke pretended to be calm, thinking it was nothing. But the gloomy atmosphere enveloped her tightly, and the chill ran up her spine, making her shiver uncontrollably. She hurriedly ran after him, shouting:
"Brother Liang, wait for me, why are you running so fast?"
Xia Yue tried his best, his steps were quick and frantic, but Liang Ying's long legs disappeared in just a few steps.
The surroundings were in chaos, and from time to time there were screams of people tripping over debris and the dull thud of heavy objects falling to the ground.
She could only lower her head and stare at her feet, dodging left and right on the debris-filled ground, fearing that she would also be tripped by the unknown in the darkness.
At first, the noisy footsteps and exclamations mixed together, creating a chaotic mess.
At some point, the sound gradually faded away until it became eerily quiet.
Xia Yuke was still concentrating on walking around the pile of old books on the ground. When she suddenly raised her head, she found that there was no one around.
She didn't know when she reached the stairs. She turned around in horror and looked back. There was nothing behind her. The dozen or so people who were crowded together just now had disappeared as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Xia Yueke felt a chill on his back and the hairs on his neck stood up.
She slowly turned her head and looked at the stairs leading to the third floor. Her legs seemed to be nailed down and she couldn't lift them up.
She swallowed, her throat was very dry, and she carefully called up: "Brother Liang, Brother Liang, are you there?"
The only response she got was her own voice, echoing in the stairwell, one after another, becoming weaker and weaker, yet it was as if there were countless of her own voices calling out in the darkness. Xia Yueke's heart was pounding as she listened to this strange echo. She quickly covered her mouth, not daring to make another sound.
With a mission to accomplish, there is no room for retreat.
Xia Yueke took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but her trembling legs betrayed her.
She held her breath, taking each step with great difficulty, her eyes fixed on the steps beneath her feet, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.
When she stepped onto the thirteenth step, a strong sense of disharmony came over her.
She slowly raised her head and saw another endless flight of stairs in front of her.
Fear instantly overwhelmed her, her breathing became rapid and heavy, and all kinds of horrible thoughts kept emerging in her mind:
How come this staircase has no end?
Although Xia Yueke guessed that this was done on purpose, knowing is one thing and encountering it is another. She didn't care about anything else now and ran up. After running up four or five steps, there was still no end. Xia Yueke was so tired that she simply sat down where she was.
"Forget it, it should just wait a while. Let's not waste our energy. If we're stuck here now, we won't be able to complete future missions. It's better to surrender early and live in peace."
Xia Yueke was not so stupid as to continue walking up the endless stairs, which would be exhausting. As a result, she had just sat for ten minutes when sunlight came in from outside. Xia Yueke, who was leaning against the wall to rest, was stunned. She opened her eyes and saw that she was already sitting at the stairs on the third floor, with the corridor on the third floor in front of her.
Xia Yueke stared blankly at the sunlight shining on her body, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
She stood up, her legs still a little weak. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly walked towards the corridor on the third floor.
The walls on both sides of the corridor were covered with dark green moss, emitting a damp and decayed smell.
Xia Yueke passed by one classroom after another and looked inside through the blurry windows. The desks and chairs were neatly arranged, but there was an old smell in the air.
When passing by another classroom, the door of this classroom suddenly creaked open. Xia Yueke paused and then walked over quickly.
Pretend not to see anything.
The rules clearly state, "Automatically opened classroom doors: If you pass by a classroom and the door opens automatically, do not enter."
Fortunately, she didn't take a look out of curiosity, otherwise she would have been doomed. However, no one would fall into such an obvious trap.
When she reached the end of the corridor, she saw the door with the sign "Teacher's Office". The door was half-open, and a dim light shone through.
This rule appeared in the rules, but Xia Yue was not stupid enough to get involved in the mess. He hurriedly wanted to turn around and leave, but he noticed a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
As if correcting homework in the office, "Long Xiaoyu?!"
Xia Yueke no longer cared about anything. When she came to her senses, she was already in the office.
