【Ruijin】Escape

Jin was sitting in the classroom, the school bell had rang three times, he had something to worry about, and sat on his seat with a frown.Through the window next to him, he could see the dark sky outside the window, the wind whizzed and swayed the trees, and the black clouds were low pressure, as if a rainstorm was about to pour down.

"Kim! Aren't you home yet? Looks like it's going to rain—"

The classmate called him, but Jin didn't move at all, maybe he didn't hear the shout at all.So in the end he was the only one left in the classroom, the windows rattled in the strong wind, the sky was dark, and it was scary like a horror movie.

Jin didn't care about it at all.

He has something on his mind.

Gray has been missing for three days for no reason.

Three days ago, it was also such a windy and dark cloudy weather. Everyone hurriedly left after school.Gray and Jin are in different classes, and they usually meet at the shoe cabinet on the first floor of the school.

That day Jin waited and waited at the shoe cabinet, but he couldn't wait for Gerry, so he went back to climb up to the fifth floor, wanting to go to the classroom to see what Gerry was doing.

But the door of the classroom where Gray was in had been locked. Jin looked in through the glass on the door, and saw that there was no one there.

Jin searched the entire fifth floor, yelling "Gerry——" several times, but no one agreed, and went to the toilet to check, but nothing was found.

The wind rattled the corridor windows, and Kim shivered from the coolness in the air.

——Maybe Gray is already waiting for him at the shoe cabinet?Did they just happen to miss?

Jin thought so, but he felt a strong sense of foreboding in his heart. His intuition was always terribly accurate, from childhood to adulthood.

The shoe cabinet was also empty, and the entire school was almost gone.Jin waited and waited, called Gray's cell phone, but was told that he was out of service area.

But Gray's shoe cabinet is still open, and there are still Gray's dark blue sneakers in it-Gerry must not have left school.

Jin walked outside the teaching building, intending to visit other places, but the door of the teaching building closed with a "bang", shutting him out directly, no matter how hard he pushed or pulled, he couldn't open it.

Seeing that it was going to rain heavily, Jin had no choice but to run back home first.

Gray didn't show up the next day either, didn't go home, and didn't come to school.

Then the third day, still no news.

Every day, Jin searched for Gray throughout the school. He searched almost every corner he could go, but there was no trace.The school called out the surveillance, and only saw Gray enter the men's room on the fifth floor after school that afternoon.

It never came out again.

The clues were interrupted, and the police couldn't find anything to investigate. Gray's parents died early, and the nominal guardian had already settled abroad. He only paid living expenses regularly, let alone providing help.

"pat"

The raindrops hit the window glass, and soon became noisy. The heavy rain poured down, blurring the world outside the window.

Jin finally packed his schoolbag, put it on his back, and walked slowly towards the men's room.Both his and Gray's classrooms are on the fifth floor, but one is on the farthest east and the other is on the farthest west. The toilet is in the middle of the corridor.

This is the only clue to Gray's disappearance. Jin does not give up. Every day after school, he goes to the toilet alone to check. He even thinks bitterly that Gray may be rushed to the Real Demon Kingdom and become the Demon King.

Whoa- whoa-

The noise of the rain was disturbing, maybe it was because the rain was so heavy, all the students had already left, and there was only Jin's footsteps in the whole corridor, which was eerily quiet.

The toilet was very dark, and the light was not turned on. Jin stomped his feet and found that the voice-activated light that was working well during the day was actually broken. The small toilet looked gloomy, and the faucet of a washstand was not closed tightly. Hairy.

"Gerry—Grey are you there?" King cleared his throat.

As usual there was no response.

Jin sighed inwardly, and knocked on the door of the toilet cubicle one by one: "Gary, are you there? Grey—answer me... Cough, have you come back from the Real Demon Kingdom?"

There was no response, and the ticking sound of the faucet was extremely annoying. Jin turned on the faucet and continued to knock on the door.

"gold."

This time, when they knocked on the door of the third compartment, Gray's voice actually came from inside.

Jin was taken aback for a moment, his instincts preceded his thinking, and he tried to open the compartment door with all his strength, but the door seemed to be locked from the inside.Jin didn't care much, and slammed on the door: "Gerry! Is that you, Gerry?!"

He was panting violently, his heart beating faster than ever.

"it's me."

"Great……"

As soon as Jin's legs softened, he squatted directly on the door panel. The worries of the past few days suddenly weighed on his throat. He could hardly speak. He only felt that his throat was sore and blocked, and his eyes were wet.

It's not that he didn't imagine the most terrible situation. Maybe something happened to Gray and he was completely gone. This kind of imagination made Jin feel cold-but now, Gray is still there, which is great.

"Gold." Gray in the cubicle suddenly asked him, "Do you like red or blue?"

"What, what?" Jin was still busy wiping away the tears that spilled from the corners of his eyes - it's too shameful for a boy of his age to shed tears - so his attention was delayed by half a beat, and he didn't hear Gray's voice. say what.

"Do you like red, or blue?"

Gray in the cubicle slowed down and asked again.

"Ask this why..."

Jin lowered his head inadvertently, and suddenly froze.

There was a distance from the ground below the door panel of the toilet cubicle, Jin Yi lowered his head and glanced - he found that there was nothing on the floor of the cubicle except the toilet.

If it was normal, Jin might not be so careful. He has always relied on intuition rather than logic in doing things, but now, he has been worrying about Gray's disappearance for three days, and his spirit is extremely tense and sensitive. nerves.

The bathroom was extremely quiet, only Gray's voice continued to repeat: "Jin, tell me, do you like red or blue?"

"Gerry..." Jin's voice trembled, he felt a chill run down his spine, and his heart clenched tightly, "The cubicle... the cubicle is too small, it's crowded even when you're standing?"

The intuition was so bad that he had unconsciously held his breath.

"No, it's enough to stand." Such an answer came from the cubicle.

In an instant, the back was covered with cold sweat, and goosebumps rose all along the spine and arms.

Jin bit his lower lip hard, and forced himself to calm down with the pain. He slowly stepped back, trying to walk lightly, trying to leave this weird toilet.

"Red or blue?"

In the empty toilet cubicle, Gray's voice was repeated flatly. The voice that made Jin feel relieved just now was as piercing as a reminder.

Jin dared not speak, he didn't know what was in the compartment, but it must not be Gray.It's not Gray, but pretending to be Gray's voice and asking him questions, no matter how you think about it, it's not a good person.

"click"

His backward foot suddenly kicked something.

Jin turned his head sharply, but found that it was too late - he accidentally kicked a mop standing by the wall in the toilet, and the mop fell heavily to the ground with an extremely ear-piercing "bang".

It's hard to say what Jin thought at that moment, or he didn't think about anything, but with his extremely keen intuition, he turned around and took the long mop into his hand and clenched it tightly.

Suddenly there was a frenzied knocking sound from inside the compartment door.

Jin felt the hairs on the back of his neck explode. He stopped thinking about what was in the cubicle, grabbed the mop handle and rushed out of the toilet.

"Bang bang bang—"

The sound from the cubicle was already a violent slamming on the door, but for some reason the compartment door was kept tightly closed. Just when Jin was about to step out of the toilet door, the mirror on the washstand suddenly cracked and shattered into pieces. Beach, crashed all over the ground.

Jin was slightly distracted, and the toilet door was about to close inwards violently!

"Is it blue or red! Do you like blue or red, answer me——!!!"

A shrill, frantic female voice sounded from the cubicle, but Jin had no time to answer—all his strength was spent on the mop handle.

At the critical moment, Jin's unreasonably developed motor nerves played a role. He quickly stuck the mop pole on the door frame, preventing the toilet door from completely closing, and gained a chance of survival.

The strength of the door panel was astonishing, it rubbed against the mop rod and creaked, the mirrors shattered one by one, and the crackling and crackling made the golden scalp tingle, but he clenched his teeth more and refused to make a sound, just focused on Prying the door, trying to open a gap to escape.

——Could it be that three days ago, Gray met this ghost thing in the toilet? !

The shrill female voice mixed with the sound of broken glass, coupled with the rain outside the window, gave Jin a headache. Under the multiple pressures, his fear gradually faded away, replaced by another more domineering emotion.

"Can you shut up! Be quiet, it's so noisy!"

The unbearable boy roared angrily.

Strangely, the toilet really fell silent all of a sudden.Jin breathed a sigh of relief, but in the next second, a creepy creaking sound came.

It was the sound of old door shafts rubbing against each other when the door panel was pushed open.

Kim took a deep breath and forced himself to look back.

The door of the compartment that made the sound opened, and a little girl covered in blood floated out with bare feet, two blood-red eyes on her blood-stained face, and a big, terrifying smile with her mouth open.

"Hee hee... Great, you finally talked to me."

"Then tell me, do you like blue or red?"

The little girl smiled brightly and moved towards Jin Piao little by little.

The toilet door was still firmly stuck, but the little ghost behind her was no longer hindered by that layer of door panels. The only good thing was that she seemed to be moving very slowly, and she could not float in front of Jin for a while.

Perhaps it was too much fear, but skipped the panic step directly, leaving only an almost cold rationality-under the obvious pressure of life, some people will be stimulated to extraordinary rationality.

It was also the first time that Jin knew that he was actually this type. Just like now, he actually thought about it calmly, why the little girl... the little female ghost was able to come out suddenly.

Undoubtedly, it all happened after he shouted the phrase shut up, and the little ghost said something...

—You finally talked to me.

Jin gasped, he vaguely sensed that he shouldn't be talking to the "little female ghost", otherwise why didn't she come out when he was talking to "Gerry" before?

Just saying shut up and releasing the little female ghost, and then answering her question, Toes knows how stupid this is.These thoughts were only fleeting in his mind, and Jin shut his mouth tightly, ignored the other person, and continued to fight against the toilet door.

Finding that Jin was not frightened or tricked, the expression on the little ghost girl's face distorted, as if her facial features were split open: "Quickly answer me—do you like red or blue!"

——I'll be a fool if I talk to you again!

Jin muttered viciously in his heart, exerting all his strength, but maybe the strength of both sides was too great, the mop rod couldn't bear the heavy load, and it broke into two pieces with a snap!

The toilet door was closed heavily immediately, and Jin's face became extremely pale in an instant.

"whee……"

The little ghost behind him let out a soft laugh, and Jin looked back—the distance was very close!He hurriedly left the door and moved towards the washstand.

The washstand and the floor next to it were full of sharp broken glass. Jin didn't care about so much, stepped on it, and leaned against a washstand, gritted his teeth and stared at the little ghost who was slowly floating. .

——Quickly think of a way! ! !

Jin urged himself in his heart, he was never used to giving up, even now, he never thought of obediently letting go.

Even if he can't do anything.

- think quickly!Grey probably also encountered this damn thing, but Grey must be fine!

——What would Gray do?

——Grey has such a smart mind, what would he think at a time like this? !

—Just think about it, Kim!You know him best, and you are best friends!

Jin was gasping for breath, otherwise he felt he would not be able to breathe, his hands gripped the edge of the washstand tightly, and he didn't even notice that his palm was punctured by broken glass.

——"Everything has traces to follow, if you don't realize it, then think more about it."

Suddenly, a sentence from Gray jumped into Jin's mind. Not long ago, when Jin was at a loss for an unsolvable logic puzzle, Gray reminded him.

There are traces to follow, traces to follow, traces to follow...

Kim's thoughts raced, surprisingly fast when he was concentrating on one thing - he went into the men's room, the faucet was ticking, there was no answer to the knock, the faucet was too noisy so he turned it off, and the knock came suddenly Gray's voice...

…………

"!"

Without time to hesitate, Jin turned on the faucet on the washstand behind him.

The water splashed out, accompanied by the screaming of the little female ghost: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

The little female ghost floating in the air struggled, as if being pressed into the water and suffocated.

"Don't—don't—it hurts—I can't breathe..."

Jin hastily turned on all the other faucets, and for a while the water was pouring on the floor, while the little female ghost gradually stopped struggling amidst the sound of running water, and became thinner and thinner until it disappeared into the air.

The toilet door opened silently.

Jin bent down abruptly, gasping for breath. The palpitations of escaping death made him weak, but he still gritted his teeth and walked out of the toilet step by step.

Finally back in the corridor, Jin leaned his back against the wall, and sat down as if exhausted—he was right, the sound of running water, or water, was the condition that restricted the appearance of the little female ghost, and he turned off the faucet, only then did the counterfeit appear gray voice.

Kim doesn't quite understand what's going on, but he already knows that something is wrong, and Kim has no doubts that this is why Gray has been missing for three days.

Thinking that Grey might have seen the little ghost, he was a little scared, but he quickly shook his head and said to himself: "No, that's Grey! I'm fine, and Grey's definitely fine!"

It was still pouring rain outside the window, it was dark and ominous.Jin took a few deep breaths, patted his cheeks vigorously with both hands, and forced himself to cheer up to find Gray.

And he didn't want to stay near this toilet any longer.

Just standing up against the wall, Jin suddenly heard footsteps, he tensed up for a moment, and pressed against the wall to put on a defensive posture.

However, the person who emerged from the dimly lit corridor was Gray.

"Jin!" Gray called him, frowning, "Why are you here?"

"Gerry! I..."

Jin's voice faltered.

On Gray's feet are the familiar pair of dark blue sneakers, which he gave Gray last year as a birthday present.

——Just yesterday, he took the shoes home for Gray first.

——tbc——

*The prototype comes from "Hanako in the Toilet"

There is a version that Hanako will ask you if you like red or blue under certain circumstances

Answer blue and you will be safe, answer red and you will die

In the prototype story, Hanako seems to be a girl who died in the toilet after encountering school violence. It is also said that she was pushed into the washstand in the toilet and drowned to death.
