【Ruijin】Escape

The third floor is the same as the second floor, and it is also an ordinary student classroom, but the grades are different.

In addition to the keyhole of the locker, Greykin also ventured to check the front and back doors of the classroom, but still found nothing. Even when he was passing the toilet in the middle of the third floor, Jin suggested to check the toilet cubicle on a whim. For the sake of safety, Gray was in charge of checking the keyhole, and Jin was in charge of looking out, but the result was still frustrating.

When passing a classroom on the east side of the third floor, both Jin and Gray stopped.

Gray stopped because Kim stopped, and Kim stopped because the door to this classroom was open.

And it didn't open normally, it looked more like the door lock had been smashed directly, the door panel was hanging pitifully on one side, looking inward, one could vaguely see the mess inside.

"Gerry, have you ever been in this classroom?"

"Ah."

"I want to go in and take a look." Jin turned his head and suggested, "It should be safe inside now, maybe we can dig out some secret passage door or something!"

Only Jin would believe this kind of whimsy, but it is very applicable in this kind of place that cannot be deduced by common sense. Gray did not object, but his idea was different-there were always more things in the classroom than in the corridor, and he wanted to find Find out if there is something in your hand that can be used as a weapon.

Knowing that there will be more and more ghosts and ghosts, it makes people feel insecure to be empty-handed.

The two entered the classroom together. In order to prevent the door panel from suddenly "resurrecting" and blocking the door, Gray also moved a desk and put it at the door to block the door.

The desks and chairs in the classroom were crooked, and it was not difficult to see the traces of a fight. In the corner, there was a blurry, twisted figure that resembled a human figure. Jin saw it from a distance, hesitated for a moment, and overcame his fear, planned to go over to have a look.

He didn't know what kind of mentality he had in order to go to see it—maybe he just thought that it was a ghost killed by Gray, or that it was a proof that Gray was desperately living here alone.

In those three days, Gray's experience has been limited to a few words that were voluntarily revealed. Jin didn't have the kind of curiosity that would hurt others. He just wanted to know what Gray went through.

Probably a kind of self-consolation.

Grey saw Jin walking towards the corner, he was taken aback for a moment, but in the end he didn't say anything, just followed Jin.

Jin didn't need his extra protection here. The kind of care he held in his palm was an insult to the young man who had been fighting hard.

As he got closer, he could gradually see what it was, and Jin suddenly took a deep breath.

It was a corpse, but not the ghost that King had imagined, but the tragic death of a schoolboy—still wearing his school uniform.

"...This, this is..." Jin felt his voice tremble a little.

The fear of being away from him almost because of numbness at one time came rushing again just in time.

"He was dead when I came in."

Gray walked to Jin's side, and after saying this, he held Jin's hand without saying a word. His hand was cold, not warm, and there was a vague smell of blood—— —but slowly made Jin stop the unspeakable fear.

"So, it's not just us..."

"It's not just him, I'm afraid there are more people."

"yes……"

The male student's body was distorted, and a pair of eyes full of fear and anxiety were wide open. Jin couldn't bear to look at it. He bent down and was about to reach out his hand to close the male student's eyes, at least not to die.

Just as his hand was about to touch the male student's eyelids, the male student's eyeballs suddenly rolled.

"what?"

Jin froze for a moment, he hadn't fully realized what happened, but his body had already retreated in accordance with the instinct to avoid danger. At the same time, Gray quickly took a step forward to block him behind, grabbing the A broom on duty was picked up in the classroom, and it stabbed the male student's mouth quickly and mercilessly.

"crunch-"

A tooth-piercing voice came, the male student with distorted face was staring, his two bloodshot eyeballs were almost bulging out of the eye sockets, his mouth was firmly biting the front of the broom, and he said "ho-ho-- "Heavy panting, with a ferocious look on his face, it seemed that he wanted to gnaw off a piece of meat from Gray and Jin alive.

Gray grabbed the broom handle tightly, temporarily restraining the male student's movement. Jin quickly picked up a chair from the side. He raised the chair legs and smashed the metal stool to the back of the male student's head.

This time Jin used all his strength, and after he smashed it down, he heard the sound of bones squeezing each other and flesh breaking, and following this sound, the male student's body fell down and hit the classroom like a bag of rice. on the floor.

Kim was panting slowly, and he kept telling himself to take a deep breath.

"How could this be..." Jin murmured, with a rare look of bewilderment in his eyes.

Gray squatted down and took a close look at the back of the male student's bloody, bloody, brain-spattered head. After confirming that the other party was dead, he stretched out his hand and closed the male student's eyes for Jin.

"He might..." Seeing Jin's expression, Gray swallowed the second half of the sentence.

When he entered this classroom before, he could guarantee that it was just a corpse—otherwise, he should have attacked him at that time.

This is the creepiest guess: people who die here will slowly turn into monsters.

Jin's complexion looked very bad, he was taking deep breaths, Gray stood up, and took the chair away from Jin's hand - with a little force, the blond boy kept holding on to the legs of the chair with both hands.

"If all the ghosts here are like him..."

Gray was still thinking about what to say to break the silence, but unexpectedly, it was Jin who spoke first.

"Then how many people died here, Gray?"

Jin was never stupid, what Gray thought of, Jin also thought of.

The blond boy looked at him, and for the first time, his clear blue eyes revealed confusion and fragility—or rather, it was a kind of grief that harmed other things.

"They don't want to be like this... If it were me, I definitely don't want to be like this."

"...I don't want to either."

"Come on, Gray."

But Gray reached into his pocket, took out the key, and handed it back to Jin: "Take it."

"Hey?"

"Don't say those unnecessary words now." Gray looked at Jin firmly, his violet eyes were as reassuring as ever, "Since it is the key for you, maybe only you can use it, and it would be a waste for me to hold it."

Jin pursed his lips, looking like he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just put the key close to his body.

Dead people become ghosts—bad news, but not entirely bad news.If we understand it the other way around, the ghosts here are very likely to have been drawn here by human beings. Then, those ghosts that still retain their humanity may be more believable instead.

At least Jin believes that he will do this himself. If he unfortunately becomes a ghost, he will try his best to keep his conscience and help the people who come after him to escape.

And he believed Gray would do the same.

Neither of them spoke anymore, but the speed of the search was much faster. After they searched another classroom with an open door on the third floor, they walked forward and there was a staircase leading to the fourth floor.

Jin subconsciously turned his head to look, and this time, he saw the vague white shadow not far behind him again.

"Gerry, that shadow is here again." Jin reminded in a low voice.

"It's a bit strange." Gray frowned.

"what happened?"

The two walked to the west staircase leading to the fourth floor and stood there looking up. Gray stood motionless, and Jin also stood motionless. After waiting for a long time, the stairs were also quiet.

"Is there anything in your bag that you can throw away?" Gray asked suddenly.

Jin opened the schoolbag, took out a pen from the pencil case and handed it to Gray: "This one is almost out of water."

Gray threw the pen toward the stairs—the gel pen fell on the steps with a "clack", rolled back and forth a few times, and stopped moving.

Nothing happened.

"Give me a book."

"Ah?" Although he was surprised, Jin took out a book and handed it to Gray.

Gray glanced at it, then shook his head wordlessly: "Don't use textbooks, you still need to use your comics when you go back to class...?"

A comic book was thrown over and hit the stairs with a "smack", but there was still no response.

Gray thought for two seconds, then suddenly raised his foot and walked towards the stairs. He raised one foot and hung it above the stairs, making a gesture that he was about to step on it, and waited for another two seconds before stepping on it. on the steps.

"Wait a second, Gray!"

Jin grabbed Gray's arm and pulled him back: "What if the steps collapse again?"

"But it didn't collapse." Gray said, a bold idea took shape in his mind, "Go up, Jin, you go first."

The two stepped up the steps together. This time they didn't run, but walked step by step. Gray was always walking behind Jin, with one hand on Jin's back, ready to push each other at any time. He could feel the pressure under his feet. The steps of the stairs trembled slightly, as if they might break at any time, but the strange thing was that the steps seemed to follow their steps. Every time they took a step, the previous step shattered into small pieces and fell off.

"Save us..."

Jin's whole body trembled.

"Save us..."

A faint voice sounded from behind, Jin took a look back, and there was a white shadow looming on the stairs on the third floor.

Finally, they made it up to the fourth floor, and that staircase also collapsed completely.

"It shouldn't be malicious." Gray said, "Obviously, it doesn't want us to die. If it wants to follow us all the way in the corridor, there should be many opportunities to do it. At worst, it can directly trap us on the third floor. Without food and water, sooner or later we will die."

"I seem to have heard it talking just now..." Jin hesitated for a moment, then raised his voice slightly, "Did you tell us just now that you want to save you?"

The white shadow didn't make a sound, but flashed a few times, becoming a little more obvious.

If it was before, Gray and Jin might not understand what the phrase "save us" means, but now, they all thought of a possibility.

"It is leading the way." Gray asserted.

The collapsed stairs were not intended to kill them, let alone trap them. On the contrary, they were a guide—it meant that what they were looking for was not on the first floor, nor on the second and third floors.

Jin followed Gray's train of thought this time: "Then let's try going directly to the fifth floor? If the stairs don't collapse, it means we're on the fourth floor!"

This is the most time-saving method, Gray nodded slightly to express his approval, but just as the two of them took a step, a burst of piano sound swept through the entire corridor came whistling!

"……whispering sound."

Gray rarely frowned irritably.

On the wall of the stairwell on the fourth floor, the "Mona Lisa" smiled gracefully - and they all forgot the existence of this painting!

Needless to say, the "Mona Lisa" must have delivered the news, so the ghosts in the music classroom on the fourth floor began to play the piano again, this time the piano sound was much more violent, and they stood on the westernmost side, and they could still hear the music clearly Chu, close to the ears.

Jin glanced at Gray, and unsurprisingly found the same determination in the other's eyes.

"Walk."

Gray said only one word briefly.

The two of them ran towards the music classroom at the same time.

Two pieces, less than 7 minutes, they have to figure out a way to deal with that ghost.
