Chapter 467 Mysterious Campus (8)
Wu Juan paused and wanted to say something else. Of course she knew this, and she wanted to ask if there was any way to resist.
Brother Liang interrupted what the woman wanted to say and said quickly:
"Okay, let's head to the next location now. I just looked at the topographic map printed on the wall. The swimming pool is closest to this place, followed by the old teaching building, and finally the playground. Let's set off in this order."
Wu Juan curled his lips and could only follow him away reluctantly.
The crowd walked in the campus planted with big trees. The surrounding trees swayed without wind, and the branches and leaves twisted and swayed wildly, making a rustling sound, as if countless people were whispering.
The shadows on the ground also became strange in shape, sometimes lengthening, sometimes shortening, as if something was struggling in the shadows.
The sky was covered by a thick layer of dark clouds at some point, pressing down so darkly that it was hard to breathe.
Suddenly, a strange ripple came from the swimming pool not far ahead, and layers of black ripples appeared on the water surface, as if something huge was lurking underwater.
When Xia Yueke and others approached, a strong smell of disinfectant mixed with a faint smell of decay hit them in the face.
"There seems to be something in the water." The young man with the backpack swallowed nervously.
As soon as he finished speaking, a pale hand slowly stretched out from the water, and then a wet head emerged. It was exactly the appearance of the student who was rumored to have drowned in the school. His eyes were empty, his skin was swollen and pale, and black sewage kept coming out of his mouth.
His hair is bright green, and his face looks exactly like the little green boy from before!
Everyone gasped. Everyone knew that it was impossible to have such bright hair color at that time, which meant that the little green boy was dead.
And become a member of this swimming pool.
But they clearly saw that this swimming pool was not enough to drown anyone, as the water was only up to the knees.
"Run!" Brother Liang yelled, turning around and running back the way he came. Driven by fear, everyone stumbled and followed Brother Liang in a panic.
But before they had run far, the fog grew thicker, like an invisible wall that trapped them, and the way they came completely disappeared.
"What should I do? I can't find a way out!" Wu Juan cried out in a crying voice, his voice full of despair.
Xia Yueke was extremely anxious. While groping in the fog, he tried hard to recall whether there were any tips in the rules to deal with this situation.
At this moment, a sinister and strange laugh came from all directions, accompanied by wet footsteps, and the drowned "little green boy" was approaching step by step.
Suddenly, the elegant man with glasses slipped and fell to the ground.
When he hurriedly got up, there was a bruised handprint on his ankle, as if it had been grabbed by something.
"It touched me!" the man screamed in horror.
When everyone was terrified, Brother Liang finally found the yellow stone behind a big tree. He tried to move it, but it didn't move.
"Xia Yueke! Come over here and help! Throw this big rock into the swimming pool, and it will definitely be fine!"
Xia Yue, who was not far away, heard the shout and finally regained some consciousness. He hurried over and helped Liang Ge move the stone. The man with the backpack also came to help. When the elegant man was about to collapse, they finally threw the stone into the swimming pool.
In an instant, everything disappeared, as if it was just a dream, but the marks on the elegant man's hands could not be faked.
The elegant man's glasses were shattered on the ground. He held his right hand and said, "What should I do? I feel like my hand can't move. I can't use any strength at all."
He just felt that he was extremely unlucky. He actually slipped at the most critical moment. He was simply harming himself!
But we finally finished visiting the swimming pool.
Xia Yueke watched the elegant man in agony, her heart filled with worry, but there was nothing she could do but focus on the present. "Don't panic, let's continue with the mission. Maybe we can find a solution later," she said, trying to sound calm.
After everyone calmed down, they headed towards the old teaching building. Along the way, the atmosphere was suffocating and no one knew when the next danger would appear.
When they arrived in front of the old teaching building, the old building exuded a rotten smell. The door was closed, but it gave people the illusion that it would be opened at any time.
Brother Liang walked forward and pushed the door. With a "creak", the door slowly opened and a pungent smell of dust hit his face.
Everyone stopped in front of the teaching building, not daring to move forward. The dim light blurred their vision. The graffiti on the wall looked particularly eerie in the dim light, like distorted human faces.
Suddenly, a melodious piano sound came from upstairs. The notes echoed in the silent corridor, but it made people feel creepy.
"Isn't this music classroom in the new teaching building? Why is there piano sound here?" Wu Juan's voice trembled as he tightly grasped the arm of the young man with a backpack next to him.
However, they didn't know why this happened and no one gave them an explanation.
Everyone pretended not to hear the piano sound and did not dare to step into the old teaching building.
A dull bell rang from the top floor of the old teaching building, breaking the tense atmosphere. The bell echoed in the silent campus, the sound was urgent, obviously not the time for classes.
"It's the bell from the old teaching building!" Xia Yueke's face suddenly changed, and she shouted, "Everyone, don't go near the old teaching building!"
But before they could finish their words, they were horrified to find that they had found themselves on the third floor of the old teaching building without them noticing, and the surrounding environment became increasingly eerie.
"Oh no! How did we get in?" Brother Liang yelled angrily, but he also knew that it must be the game's doing.
Xia Yueke quickly calmed down. "Don't panic. According to the rules, we have to find old chalk pieces with numbers on each floor. We have to collect five and arrange them in a triangle under the clock on the top floor before we can leave. Everyone, split up and look for them!"
Everyone rushed into action, and Xia Yueke carefully searched the corner of the classroom on the third floor. The dim light made it almost impossible for her to see anything, so she could only rely on her senses to feel her way around.
Finally, she touched a hard object under a tattered podium. When she picked it up, she saw that it was an old piece of chalk with the number "3" written on it.
At the same time, Brother Liang found a piece of chalk with the number "1" on it at the stairs on the second floor, and the young man with a backpack found a piece of chalk with the number "5" in the pile of junk on the first floor.
Wu Juan had a very difficult time searching the fourth floor. Every corner was filled with unknown fear. Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed before her eyes, frightening her so much that she almost cried out.
She suppressed her fear and continued searching, and finally found the chalk head with the number "4" on the windowsill.
At this time, only the elegant man had not found the chalk head. His hand was injured and he could not move easily. He was searching anxiously on the fifth floor.
Xia Yueke was worried that something might happen to him, so she ran over to help.
Just as the bell rang more and more urgently, they found a piece of chalk with the number "2" in an abandoned trash can.
Everyone met on the top floor and arranged a triangle under the old clock in ascending order of numbers.
Just as the last piece of chalk was placed, the bell stopped abruptly, and the gloomy atmosphere around dissipated, replaced by a relatively peaceful atmosphere.
"Huh, it's finally okay." Brother Liang breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
