Chapter 74
"The search of the faculty office in the school building will be handled by me and Fujibayashi..."
His gaze fell on the blonde girl, Chiharu.
The woman hesitated and struggled for a while before making her choice.
"I, I'll stick with Lin-ge."
Suddenly,
Kawasaki's face looked a bit ugly.
His own girlfriend trusted a stranger more?
He felt like he had been given a hat, and it was definitely green.
He was just about to say something, but Lin Ye walked right past him, which made him swallow the words he was about to say.
Kawasaki remembered the scene where the tall guy was beaten until he was curled up in pain; he wanted to fight, but he feared he would be the one suffering in the end.
Sigh!
"Dead otaku, let's go to the shoe lockers."
The two of them also set off, but their eyes were constantly darting back and forth, left and right. If that female entity appeared, they would bolt as fast as they could.
Finally,
the two arrived at the shoe lockers at the entrance.
In the dim light, the dilapidated shoe lockers were dented and uneven, as if they could collapse at any moment.
"I remember the video showed this middle position; let's start searching from here."
Kawasaki and the otaku each took a row and began checking the names on the shoe locker labels.
Kuroshima,
Kuroshima,
They found no shoe locker for Kuroshima at all.
"Hey, did you find it?"
"No."
"Hurry up! No one knows when that thing will appear."
Finally,
when the otaku saw the surname 'Kuroshima' on a shoe locker, he shouted in surprise.
"Found it!"
They had found it!
Kawasaki ran over, and the two looked at this half-open shoe locker.
"You do it, I'll keep watch for you."
Kawasaki pushed him and urged.
He couldn't deal with Lin Ye, but couldn't he deal with this dead otaku?
At this moment, Kawasaki was full of confidence.
The otaku was trembling, not daring to open the shoe locker at all, fearing that the moment he opened it, a pale hand would reach out.
As someone who had played some horror games and watched horror movies, he had a little bit of experience with this kind of development.
"H-how about we... call Lin-ge over? We've already found the shoe locker anyway."
"Trash."
Kawasaki cursed.
"You're just trash, afraid of even this."
But he didn't show any sign of getting closer.
"You do it, you're not trash, hurry up and do it."
Even a clay figure has three parts of fire; the otaku, Kazunari, was also furious at this moment.
"Haha, you don't dare either. No wonder your girlfriend doesn't dare to come with you, and instead chose Lin-ge."
"Lin-ge, Lin-ge... why are you calling him 'ge'? Do you really think just because you call him 'ge', he'll help you?"
Everyone trusted Lin Ye, thinking Lin Ye could lead them out of here alive, and showed extreme respect to Lin Ye. Kawasaki had been bottling up a fire, and now it erupted.
"At least he won't help you. Your girlfriend, she probably would! After all..."
"Bastard!"
Kawasaki raised his fist.
The otaku had anticipated this and stepped back early to avoid it.
"If you want your girlfriend to trust you, show your own brains and ability, let her see the hope of survival. Otherwise..."
The otaku, Kazunari, suddenly froze in place.
And Kawasaki seemed to have sensed something and turned his head slowly.
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came from behind him. He only felt his body lose its balance from being bumped, and he stumbled several steps inward.
Kawasaki looked up and saw that familiar figure. The white shirt uniform that should have been white was stained with a vivid, bloody red. She had long, disheveled hair, and through the gaps in her hair, a bloody, ferocious face was pieced together.
"Ghost!"
Kawasaki was so scared his legs went weak, and he retreated, crawling and rolling.
And the otaku, who had responded earlier, opened the shoe locker, reached his right hand inside, and without caring what was in there, grabbed something and ran frantically past the shoe locker in the direction he came from.
Run, run immediately.
As long as he ran faster than Kawasaki, it would be fine.
And, as it looked now, Kawasaki would definitely be fed to the ghost; he was a goner, no saving him.
And he would return with the hard-won evidence to make an important contribution to this survival.
The otaku felt like he was floating; he glanced back from the corner of his eye, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
That female entity was chasing him!
Ahhhhh!
The otaku ran even faster; on top of his existing speed, it surged up another notch.
"Don't chase me!"
Why are you chasing me!
Didn't I leave someone behind for you?
"Help! Lin-ge, the entity is chasing me!"
"I, I got the clue!"
Lin Ye and the others, who had just finished searching the first-floor faculty office, heard the screams and calls for help.
"You guys go upstairs."
"If you encounter danger, shout."
Fujibayashi Kyou nodded hard and ran up the stairs, the blonde girl followed closely, and Lin Ye ran toward the direction the sound came from, using Time Stop to find the otaku and the entity not far from him.
Did Kawasaki die?
Lin Ye walked a bit further and saw Kawasaki, who was fine, so he turned back.
This time, he poked her again, only to find that he still passed through the female entity's body without any obstruction.
Am I being targeted?
Why can't I touch her?
What's going on?
Lin Ye accepted this fact, then dragged the otaku for a distance, finally ended the Time Stop, and pulled the otaku along as he ran.
"Crawl fast!"
The information obtained from Time Stop was limited.
He had to be chased by the female entity to find out more.
"Lin, Lin-ge... that's great, you really wouldn't abandon me."
The otaku was teary-eyed.
"I, I found the shoe locker, I found the clue, this..."
"Don't talk, run!"
Lin Ye looked back from time to time.
But that figure seemed to have stopped and left, not continuing to chase them.
Gone?
Lin Ye specifically used Time Stop to confirm; the female entity's figure had indeed disappeared, and she was no longer in the surrounding area.
She left.
Why did she suddenly stop chasing?
With insufficient information, he couldn't reach a reliable conclusion, so Lin Ye went upstairs to return to the otaku, ended the Time Stop, and reunited with Fujibayashi Kyou and the blonde girl.
This was the meeting point he and Fujibayashi Kyou had agreed upon in advance; if the two of them were separated, this was where they would meet.
"W-where's my boyfriend, Kanzanari? Why hasn't my boyfriend come back!"
The blonde girl, not seeing her boyfriend, trembled and shouted at the otaku.
"I don't know, maybe he's dead, maybe he's not."
"No, no, Kanzanari will definitely be fine, definitely..."
She refused to believe her boyfriend would die here.
The otaku ignored her and handed the thing in his hand to Lin Ye.
It was a book, a literary anthology.
After Lin Ye opened it, a piece of paper wobbled and fell to the ground.
Fujibayashi Kyou immediately squatted down and picked up the piece of paper.
"Lin Jun,"
she handed it to Lin Ye.
Using the light from the hallway, Lin Ye opened the note, and the text on it entered his field of vision.
[I am ■■ Taku ■, when you find this piece of paper, you must also have been drawn into the strange events of ■■ School.]
[I don't know how much the content of the paper has been affected, or how much useful information you can see,]
[For this reason, in various places related to her, I have left papers with different expressions but the same meaning, hoping to help you.]
[Don't ask me why the papers are placed in places related to her.]
[Because only in places related to her can the papers be preserved to provide help to those who come later.]
[Seeing this, I think you already know who she is.]
[Kuroshima ■■, the school beauty of ■■ School, she was cruelly murdered while alive, and her resentment could not be dissipated, so she turned into ■■, wandering in the school.]
[Many students and teachers disappeared mysteriously, and when they were found, they were all dead, and before they died, every one of them had suffered extremely terrifying events.]
[The school fell into panic, and this school was eventually abandoned.]
[But the curse did not stop,]
[She is still taking revenge on all living beings who come to this school.]
[Many people ■■, many people ■■,]
[But some people still successfully escaped.]
Seeing this,
the eyes of the group lit up; this was hope!
They wanted to know the method to escape.
"That's great, we can know how to successfully leave this place alive."
There was nothing more exciting than this.
Fujibayashi Kyou couldn't help but show a hopeful smile.
If she didn't get out soon, her sister would be worried.
