Chapter 11: The Truth of the Building
……
The surroundings became very quiet.
Perhaps because the two were quiet, but actually in this season, dare not say insect chirps, but the school environment was still very good.
Behind the girls' dormitory was a forest.
No matter what, bird chirps should also be heard.
Now, outside, it appeared abnormally quiet.
Just now, more or less, he could actually hear some students searching, but now he couldn't hear anything.
Not just outside, but also around the two, to be precise, the entire room and even the entire building outside.
"What's going on..." Zhou Yanqing felt that something was wrong, and the terrifying feeling surged from the bottom of her heart again.
Huaiyou's face froze, and he said in a deep voice: "I guess something unexpected happened, look at the mirror, it doesn't look like normal anymore."
Zhou Yanqing raised her head to look.
Only then did she see that the mirrors, whose quantity was already a bit strange, almost occupying part of the balcony, even with the light shining on them.
What she could feel and see was only pitch darkness, the mirrors could no longer reflect anything, as if covered by a layer of black cloth.
"Then what should we do?" Zhou Yanqing's face became ugly.
Huaiyou stared at the strange mirrors on the balcony and the quietness of the environment he felt, and after a good while, he opened his mouth to say: "I said before, let's leave here first, staying in the room for too long, I feel like something unexpected will happen, and I can roughly know where those friends might be."
"Only..." Huaiyou paused, then raised his head and looked at Zhou Yanqing strangely, but continued: "If you really want to find those friends, I guess we still have to walk a distance."
"If I'm not wrong now, the door should be able to open after the series of things that just happened."
Huaiyou arrived at the direction of the dormitory door, then gently twisted the door handle, and the door opened with a crisp sound, Huaiyou pulled it open.
And there was no obstruction at all, completely like the appearance when it was opened before.
"Let's go."
Following Huaiyou's greeting, Zhou Yanqing didn't look back and walked out of the dormitory quickly, she was also scared, maybe there was really something in the dormitory.
And Huaiyou, at this moment, also left the dormitory quickly, only, before leaving, he looked at the strange mirrors on the balcony, and then looked at a dark corner near the entrance.
The corner was empty, just darker than the surroundings.
The place where the child disappeared.
Also the place where Saeki Toshio suddenly appeared.
Dark corners, corners with shadows, the child ran out from such corners every time, was there any connection?
He was silent, but his heart was thinking incessantly.
And not long after.
Huaiyou followed Zhou Yanqing who was walking in the distance; she was walking very slowly, probably because she was scared, so she always looked back to see if Huaiyou was following.
Until this moment.
When Huaiyou arrived at her side, looking at the things in front, she stiffened in place again.
Huaiyou walked over and just wanted to ask what was wrong, then his gaze shifted and he saw the things in front, and his breathing stopped for a moment.
In front of his eyes.
It was just a distance of a few meters in front.
The ground was covered with broken limbs and fresh blood; although the environment here was dim, the things on the empty ground also appeared very clearly.
More than ten cats of various patterns were lying on the ground, most of them looking like they had suffered some very malicious abuse.
A very obvious broken body.
Most of them were twisted into some kind of posture, just like the broom he was holding, broken.
Huaiyou could clearly see with the light of his phone.
There were traces of teeth gnawing on the cats' bodies.
Although not very obvious, they were very dense.
He could guess that the creature that caused these traces shouldn't be very ordinary.
At least.
Zhou Yanqing trembled all over.
Tears flowed uncontrollably.
"These... these are the school's cats! I fed a few of them."
Huaiyou patted Zhou Yanqing's shoulder to show some comfort.
The scene in front of his eyes was truly a bit too bloody, even he couldn't look at it for long, very quickly, Huaiyou noticed a strange change.
That was the patterns of the cats on the ground, they looked like all kinds of colors.
But there were no black ones.
Huaiyou: "Stop crying first, the primary task now is to leave here smoothly, if there's a chance, it's best to see if we can find those missing friends, you saw what happened just now."
"The longer it drags on, the more dangerous those friends might be." Huaiyou didn't say, actually in his feeling, those three missing girls were probably already in trouble.
But now it was clearly not the time to say such depressing words.
"Hmm." Zhou Yanqing restrained her emotions and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Huaiyou pulled Zhou Yanqing and walked forward, trying to reach the stairs, and at the same time crossed the cat corpses.
He tried his best not to let Zhou Yanqing see these scenes, and asked on the side: "Since these are the school's cats, but I don't know much about these animals, I haven't seen them a few times usually, I want to know, does our school have black cats?"
"Black cats?" Zhou Yanqing thought quickly, but very quickly shook her head, "The school seems to have cats of all colors, but I've never seen black ones."
"None?" Huaiyou frowned, suddenly couldn't help but look back at the cruel scene on the ground behind him.
Indeed, there were no black ones.
But just then.
Zhou Yanqing looked over.
Now the two were standing at the entrance of the stairs, Zhou Yanqing had always dared not look back at the scene behind, afraid that if she didn't endure it a little, her emotions would burst out very quickly. ===== CHAPTER 12 =====
