Surviving in a School of Ghost Stories-Chapter 62
Let's think of a way, Melody. You're smart.
If you don't even know how to break a cage with your bare hands, you shouldn't go around saying you're smart. You should be ashamed of yourself.
While I was whipping myself like that and trying to figure out a way,
I felt eyes on me again from somewhere.
I stopped moving and raised my head.
I felt eyes on my back. I hesitated to look back because of the creepy feeling.
Knock-knock-
I heard the sound of joints moving.
This was also an abnormal sound, and it definitely wasn't me.
My hand holding the cage trembled.
I slowly turned my head, overcoming my fear, and looked behind me.
There were two huge eyes in the darkness.
They were huge blue eyes. The pupils of the blue eyes that had been looking at the cage moved and looked at me.
The blue eyes that had found me shook and soon turned bright red. It was a blood-red eye.
At that moment.
[Get up, Melody.]
A black cat that appeared from nowhere tapped my leg.
“Whew-!”
My eyes, which I had closed without realizing it, slowly opened.
When I came to, I was lying in what seemed to be a school hallway.
Where am I?
I still couldn’t tell if this was Johannes Castle, the main building, or what floor I was on.
Was it a dream? But it was so vivid.
The one locked in the cage was definitely Noah Eugene Eglinton. He was the student council president.
[Melody, are you okay?]
The one who called me was a black cat with blue eyes. To be exact, it was Noah Sempai who had possessed the black cat’s body.
[Wake up. I can’t intervene any further.]
“Senior, you were definitely in the cage just now.......”
[What? What are you talking about? I'm in front of Johannes Castle right now.]
"In front of Johannes Castle? Senior, help me. I need your help. There's a ghost story happening at Johannes Castle right now."
[I'm done here, Melody. I'll explain later.]
The student council president who said that lifted her front paw and tapped her neck.
Only then did I notice the necklace around the black student council president's neck.
There was a very small glass bottle hanging from the necklace. I knew without asking that it was holy water.
I had holy water too, but the more I had, the better.
I took the holy water bottle from Senior Noah's neck and hung it around my neck. Then I hugged him and got up from my seat.
Now I have to find a mirror and get out of this space.
I decided to turn around and saw something at the end of the hallway.
Someone was lying on the floor.
'No. No. He's not lying down.'
Lying down. Her long hair was spread out on the floor, so I couldn’t see her face.
However, a woman was clearly crawling toward me on the floor, face down.
Of course, I thought she was either an evil spirit or a spirit.
I never imagined that the woman crawling down the hallway in such a creepy position would be a student of Class F.
Upon closer inspection, she was a little different from the usual spirits. Her eyes were not focused, but her pupils and whites were clear.
Since evil spirits and spirits usually don’t have clear pupils, it was easy to tell them apart.
A female student wearing the St. Gloria Private School uniform that had changed last year had a green name tag on her shoulder.
She was a first-year student. After confirming her name tag, I called her name.
“Christine Senati, are you okay?”
The female student raised her head. Her clear eyes were visible through her long hair that covered her face.
She looked up at me with her pupils fluttering, as if she was very embarrassed. And then, realizing the position she was taking, she was shocked.
“What the heck is this......”
As expected, it wasn’t a commander or an evil spirit.
It seems that Christine was possessed by them. How fortunate that it wasn’t an evil spirit.
I was relieved inside, so I asked her.
“Do you remember the last thing? Where are the other team members?”
“I don’t know either. I really don’t know......”
Christine buried her face in her hands and started crying at my question.
It seemed like I was wrong to understand the situation.
“Senior, what do you think?”
I turned my back on Christine, who was in a daze, and asked the black one in my arms.
However, the black one’s eyes had already turned yellow. It wasn’t Noah.
The guy looked up at me blankly as if he didn’t know what was going on. I patted the guy’s head and sighed.
It seemed impossible to go out alone.
I thought I would be able to leave with peace of mind if I found all three of Christine’s team members.
That’s my situation, you know. But I’m so glad that I met Christine.
I held Kkamang in one hand and reached out my other hand to Christine.
“Get up now. I have to go find your team members.”
* * *
Oliver, a third-year F class student, participated ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) in the F class tradition of courage test called <Safety Rules for Johannes Gosung Students> today.
It was an event he had participated in in the first and second years.
It was a popular event for F class students every year without any special events or major accidents.
A few lucky ones had strange experiences, which raised the students’ expectations every year.
Oliver had never experienced such strange experiences in a couple of tests.
So he didn’t believe in ghost stories or ghosts. The same was true of the traditional test of courage event at Johannes Castle.
He regarded the event as nothing more than a fun tradition.
This content is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.
As the head of the newspaper department at the world-renowned St. Gloria’s school, believing in such superstitions and delusions of some students was a blow to his pride.
Above all, Oliver had never experienced any of the incidents listed in the strange warnings in the “Safety Rules for Johannes Castle Students.”
So this year, he participated in the event without any particular doubts or expectations.
That was the problem.
Team 2, which Oliver was a part of, used the stairs because Team 1 used the elevator.
Their destination was the 4th floor, the top floor of Johannes Castle. They decided to look around while coming down from the 4th floor and find the ‘door.’
But there was a problem.
They clearly went up to the 2nd floor, but they ended up on the 5th floor.
“What? The 5th floor? Johannes Castle only has 4 floors?”
While the team members were questioning and confused, a strange noise was heard from the hallway on the 5th floor.
6. When you reach the 5th floor.
There will be other students on the 5th floor besides you. Pretend to be friends with them. If they find out you are not friends, there is no way out. Good luck.
Why did the guidebook come to mind at that moment? Oliver felt a little ominous.
Team 2, which Oliver was a member of, was looking at the hallway on the 5th floor from below the stairs.
“Hey, isn’t that Team 1?”
One of the team members questioned. Oliver immediately looked at the hallway in question.
As the team member said, there were students from Team 1 there.
There were only three people from Team 1. The other one was nowhere to be seen, and the expressions of the remaining three were unusual.
It seemed like there was a dispute, an accident, or something.
“Should we go and ask what’s going on?”
“Wait a minute. Something is strange. Look closely. Isn’t their movement a little strange?”
Oliver stopped one of the team members as he was about to climb the stairs.
The team members watched the Team 1 students walking around the hallway closely. Just as Oliver said, their movements felt unnatural.
It felt like someone was forcibly dragging them.
And the moment he realized that, Oliver saw ‘them.’
They were like people who grabbed the Team 1 members by their hair and dragged them around, like they were inhuman beings.
