Chapter 62): Time for Class!
The zipper being pulled open was like nails on a chalkboard in Lu Yibeis ears.
Looking back, she saw the sandbag puppets being opened erratically and messy limbs sprawled out of the bag, like puppets that had been dismantled and put back together countless times; each limb was stained with dark, red blood.
A faint light was cast upon the sandbags, and an arm wrapped in a blood-soaked jersey could be seen hanging lifelessly along the zipper of the sandbag.
A Brazilian soccer jersey
The sandbags shook violently under the light as if the ferocious beasts imprisoned within were struggling to break free.
Inside the sandbag, messy limbs glued together by strange substances wriggled and twisted, scrambling to get out of their prison.
Seventeen or eighteen arms forced themselves out of the box, and a deformed face revealed itself beyond the mangled arms, facing out the window with black eye sockets.
The arms forced themselves out of the sandbag and crawled slowly like a spider, creeping towards them.
Yibei hurriedly tugged at Sixians arms. Are we leaving or not?
If you dont leave, Im leaving you behind!
Sixian froze and looked back.
She saw her friends smiling and waving at her. They whispered something at her, but she couldnt hear them clearly. Their smiles were warm and welcoming, but
Am I that familiar with them? She thought.
Are they actually Sixian trembled.
Theyre gone.
Cant you deal with them?
I Yibei paused. Its hard with you here. Youll be in danger.
Driven by the strange warmth that Yibei gave her, she hurriedly nodded, Lets go!
However, the whispers of her friends beckoned her, and she couldnt help but turn back.
Where are you going?Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com
Didnt we agree to come and go together?
Stay with us.
Du Sixians eyes glossed over, and she numbly stepped towards her friends.
Lu Yibei could sense her abnormality, but she didnt know what Sixian saw.
What Yibei saw was a viscous, black liquid gushing out of the sandbags and creeping towards the two of them.
Beyond the darkness of the sandbags, pairs of blood-red eyes lit up one after another, and garbled voices that imitated a human voice tempted the human brain.
But Yibei is not human.
Looking past YIbeis petite figure, Sixian could see that the dimly lit corridor was crowded with boys and girls who laughed endlessly.
But this high school was abandoned long ago.
These students arent humans.
Sixians body trembled violently, and fine beads of sweat were dotted on her forehead.
H-help
Ring!
The bell rang again.
What the hell? Yibei thought. It was one, no, just two minutes!
Suddenly, a shadow was cast in front of her, and a muffled voice rang in her ears.
Time for class!
A strong stench came from behind, and a drop of cold sweat dripped down Lu Yibeis temples.
Glancing backwards, she saw puppets with strange faces that stood behind her.
If I tell them Im not going to class, will they attack me?
She silently thanked herself for not immediately leaving. Otherwise, these puppets would certainly pounce on her.
Her throat twitched slightly as she forced out, Y-yeah! Time for class! I love studying! Studying makes me happy!
Sixians eyes widened. She couldnt believe that Yibei was falling for their trick.
Yibei hurriedly rushed towards Sixian and dragged her towards a classroom at the end of the corridor.
Seeing Yibei and Sixian walk into the classroom, the puppets dispersed and went into their own classrooms, and soon the chanting of textbooks echoed in the empty corridor.
The doors shut behind Yibei and Sixian. Sixians former friends were in the classroom with them, alongside countless shadowy figures.
Yibei held Sixians hand and found an empty spot on the floor for them to sit in, quietly observing the situation in the classroom.
Accompanied by the eerie sound of flesh squirming in a bag, the spider-like sandbags moved the desks and chairs around the classroom, forming a circle. Then they lit the extinguished candles one by one.
Sixian gulped and leaned closer to Yibei. They theyre playing the Plate Deity game.
Dont be afraid. I have a plan.
Sixian nodded. Of course, somebody as amazing as Yibei would have a plan at the ready.
In reality, Yibeis plan was just to observe and react.
A few minutes later, Pharoah produced a white porcelain plate and placed it in the centre of the room. The sandbag puppet stood upright, imitating a human being.
Students, were going to be playing the Plate Deity game!
