CH 22

Zhou Yu quickly left the staircase and ran into the corridor.

The lights in the hallway were dim, and the bulbs were those ones from old incandescent lamps.

The interior of the teaching building, which is not very new, really has the feeling of a horror movie under the dim light.

Zhou Yu heard noises in the corridor not far away, gradually moving away. The monster seemed to ignore him, and continued to hop around in the corridor, going up and down the stairs.

That thing might just be a weird ghost who likes to bounce around.

Zhou Yu stopped, pressed against the wall, looked behind him for a long time, and finally determined that the ghost really didn’t chase him.

After feeling relieved, he felt a sense of despair.

What to do? Can't go down the stairs, should I jump to the ground from up here?

Zhou Yu looked over the window beside him and glanced down.

It was pitch black, and with the light in the hallway, the ground outside could be seen vaguely. It was foggy and incredibly creepy.

If he jumped down to the grass below, he wouldn’t die, but he lacked the nimbleness and experience of vaulting from buildings, and would likely lose a leg.

In this messed-up campus, he couldn't know what monsters and beings he would meet next. Once he lost a leg, he would basically lose his ability to survive.

If you can’t run, you can only give away.

Zhou Yu thought about it, but decided not to jump. If he fell into the ghost he met just then, he would really be voluntarily gifting it a human-sized bento.

So, to leave this building, the only way to get down was the stairs on the other side.

Because this school was well-known, there were a lot of people that came and went, not only students from the city, but even children from nearby counties will study until their brains explode just for the chance to take the entrance exam. The number of attendees in this school was continually growing, teaching buildings had been built one after another.

In order to avoid traffic jams on the stairs, each building has two sets of stairs for students to move through. The stairs on this side were blocked by the one-eyed ghost. Zhou Yu could only make his way to the other side and bet his luck, hoping that there were no ghosts on the staircase.

In the real world, the two stairs are not so far apart, but in this plane, the corridor seems to be very long, and Zhou Yu was beginning to panic.

Because the surroundings were incredibly quiet, the sounds of his footsteps were amplified, which made him even more scared. He didn't dare run at all, for he could be too loud, disturb a ghost sleeping nearby, and then get swallowed.

Once a person was alone for a while in this type of atmosphere, they would unconsciously think of something terrifying happening. Zhou Yu’s brain was now full of horror movies, and those gruesome plots were messing with his mind.

After such a thought, he scared himself into a cold sweat.

No, focus!

Zhou Yu shook his head and tried his best to keep himself alert. His eyes inadvertently turned to the window of the next classroom. In the dark classroom, nothing should have been there, but gradually, as Zhou Yu's eyes focused on it, the darkness seemed to become shallower.

He blinked, watching the fog on the window that had been blocking his view disappear, revealing the sight inside.

One student after another sat in their seats, turning their heads in his direction and looking at him in the dark, but they were still sitting with their body facing forward normally, head turned 180-degrees on their neck to stare at him.

Many dull and lifeless eyes met the pair outside the classroom.

Zhou Yu: ...

Zhou Yu couldn’t control it, he took a few steps back, leaned directly over the railing, and gagged.

After a while, before Zhou Yu had recovered from the shock, Zhou Yu heard slight sounds above his head, as if someone was walking in the hallway upstairs.

Getting a bad feeling, Zhou Yu immediately backed away from the railing.

Sure enough, the next moment, the stairwell was occupied by a group of monsters.

This group of monsters climbed downstairs, with twisted, spider-like limbs, and could easily stick to the ceiling and scuttle along like real arachnids.

This group of monsters also had long tongues. Looking at the freely swinging appendage, Zhou Yu figured that once this thing was wrapped around his neck, he wouldn’t be able to break free.

At this moment, he had already thought about what his last words should be.

But unexpectedly, the monsters stayed still, looking at him motionlessly.

Er, I don’t think they can see, after all, their heads look like those of the sea creepers in Resident Evil, it doesn’t seem like they have any eyes.

The monsters were sticking so rigidly to the ceiling that they nearly became statues, and their tongues, which had been tasting the air very actively, flicked back into their mouths.

Zhou Yu didn’t dare move, afraid that the second he did, death was inevitable. He knew very well that with the monsters so close, his chance of escape was zero.

A minute passed and the two sides remained motionless.

Suddenly, one of them moved, and Zhou Yu's soul floated out of his body, his face pale.

Looking at Zhou Yu's terrified face, a mass of black mist hovering around Zhou Yu's head looked at the monster viciously.

Daring to scare Senior! What confidence!

Zhou Yu watched the beast shift its tail, and then stiffly fall off the ceiling, over the stairwell railing to the lobby below.

For a while, his mood was complicated.

Ehh? Why did the monster fall? Did it get a cramp or something?

The other ghosts around it were unloving to their companion, they turned around and crawled up to the third floor again. Their movements were much faster than when they had come down.

Zhou Yuzhuang didn't react for a long time, shocked and afraid at the sudden change of events. After a while, he noticed that the monsters seemed to have all left, so he relaxed.

After all, I'm too old to be frightened for too long.

After rubbing the cold sweat on his forehead, Zhou Yu gathered his courage and looked at the classroom next to him.

This building was shared by the second and third-grade students. The third floor and higher are where the second-grade classes were located, the second floor and lower are the third-grade classrooms, and there are other third grade rooms in the older teaching building.

Therefore, it was normal that most of the students that Zhou Yu saw at a glance were not familiar, but since he appeared in this plane, he might not be a student in this exact school. He just wanted to see if he knew them. (Silver: IDK)

What if someone comes in here like him by accident?

Unexpectedly, the students who were staring at him just now were gone. Through the fogged-over windows, all he could see were the desks and chairs, and blackboards left by the teacher.

Zhou Yu once again regretted coming back to pick up his phone.

There are no normal people in this school! Everybody are ghosts!

Regardless of his uncertainty of why the monsters suddenly left, Zhou Yu speed up his pace, just wanting to go downstairs quickly and leave this haunted place.

The chill wind blew and the temperature on the campus dropped sharply. Zhou Yu was still wearing the clothes of the breezy summer clothing. He shivered as the climate in the school continued dropping until it became near freezing.

Zhou Yu rubbed the goosebumps on his arm and sneezed, wondering if he had caught a cold.

Ah, en, Senior, go home and take cold medicine! What should I do if you get sick?

"Uh ... uh ..."

A strange voice sounded, and Zhou Yu stiffly looked forward, only to see a ghostly being with long black hair blocking his path.

Zhou Yu watched it nearing, and lit a candle for himself again.

As the black shadow approached, getting faster and faster, he naturally ran in the opposite direction.

But somehow, the next moment, The Shadow stood before him.

The Shadow reached out its hands.

What do you want? To separate my hands from my body?

Before Zhou Yu could scream in fear at this potential future, he was embraced by the ghost.

Falling into this cold embrace, Zhou Yu froze for a moment.

This...why does this feel so familiar and comforting? No, that’s not important, the important thing is that this ghost has taken him out the window!

Zhou Yu, who froze after being hugged in a princess carry, had no tears.

Feeling the cold wind brought by the fall, Zhou Yu felt that the ghost Bacheng jumped to his death. (Silver: I looked it up, bacheng in Chinese means 80 percent, but IDK what percentages have to do with this situation)

I’m gonna die!

Fortunately, however, the results were not as Zhou Yu expected, he wasn’t dead, and he didn’t even have any broken bones.

Instead, he landed safely.

After landing, The Shadow still hugged him, not moving.

Zhou Yu stiffened and didn't dare to move, shrinking into the arms of the ghost and looking adorably pitiful.

The dark shadow, who was Feng Xing, blushed silently, holding the person in his arms tighter.

Senior, so cute when you’re shy (/ w＼).

Feng Xing now had a tall, handsome male figure, and Zhou Yu looked a little petite in his arms.

Relying on his senior's failure to recognize him, Feng Xing boldly kissed Zhou Yu’s exposed ear.

Those white little ears that were dyed pink by successive frights and the chill in the air, they looked delicious.

Zhou Yu only felt a cold breath touch his ear, but there was no pain.

His eyelashes trembling, he raised his line of sight to gaze at this strangely behaving ghost.

It had long black hair, covering most of its face, revealing only a pair of black eyes, and the black mist that surrounded it made it particularly hard to identify.

Zhou Yu glanced into those black eyes.

There seemed to be some warm emotions in those cold, dead eyes, which helped his fears dissipate a lot.

Zhou Yu was a little hesitant. He reached out his hand and wanted to touch the ghosts cheek.

"Who are you?"

So familiar.

The scene from the day before yesterday passed across his mind.

A man with long black hair, covered in black mist, stood in a pool of blood.

Zhou Yu's pupils dilated and he asked, voice wavering and hesitant: "Feng Xing? Are you Feng Xing?"

Is this ghost in front of me, you?

The Shadow froze a bit, then slowly and carefully placed him on the ground.

Then disappeared from Zhou Yu’s view in a flash.

Zhou Yu only saw it flicker in front of him, and then the ghost disappeared.

Zhou Yu: ...?

You can't just leave without answering!

Feng Xing floated above the teaching building and continued to be Zhou Yu’s guard, watching every move of his beloved senior.

By the way, the little ghost who scared his senior was eaten as a snack while it was wandering.

Dare to scare Senior, you’re truly asking for death!

Feng Xing just tortured Li Huan and the others who directly caused his death to their own. When he looked back, he found that the senior who he had thought had returned home actually came to the supernatural plane.

This frightened him immensely.

In his eyes, his senior is very fragile. The wound made by the evil ghost yesterday was not yet healed. He felt very guilty and blamed himself. If his senior was hurt by a bunch of vicious ghosts in the school, he’d really go insane.

Fortunately, the mark left on the senior yesterday was very useful.

He didn't find any ghosts on campus that had dared hurt his senior.

It's just ... those people are now on his death list!

Thinking of the pieces of trash that broke into the ghost realm, Feng Xing's eyes turned a bloody red, and the bloodthirsty aura he emitted was daunting.

Watching his senior leave the teaching building, Feng Xing felt relieved, lost the smile that had come from holding his beloved, and could no longer restrain the violent killing intent and anger in his heart. Turning into black mist, he enveloped the first-grade teaching building.

There, a few reincarnators were still looking for a way out.

Zhou Yu looked around and still couldn't find the ghost from just now.

It must have been Feng Xing, appearing right after he felt distress, coming to save him.

Zhou Yu thought of Feng Xing's thin appearance and compared with the ghost just now, that tall and strong body, it really didn’t look similar.

Maybe everybody looked a little different after they died?

As he walked to the school gate, Zhou Yu was pondering on everything that just happened.

Thinking of Feng Xing's appearance before his death, he couldn't help questioning it.

Oh, what am I thinking? This isn’t a movie

Waking himself up severely, Zhou Yu speed up his pace.

"Well! It turns out you're here! What a coincidence! Hehe!" A familiar figure appeared from around the corner ahead.

It was that young security intern.
