Chapter 74): Trying to Escape? Absolutely Not! (2)

When Zhao Ke sneaked into Room 401, Bright was busy doing homework in her room.

A scream, followed by furniture being moved frantically, interrupted Brights thought process.

Bright rolled her eyes and put on the earphones in her drawer. Just as she was about to play some music, she heard a sinister boys laugh coming from next door.

A boy?

Curiosity got the best of her, and she found herself too distracted to continue doing her work.

She quietly listened to the movement next door, and in the next ten minutes, she experienced an unprecedented fear washing over her.

Malicious laughter echoed from next door, and the eerie atmosphere leaked through the dormitory walls. The lights in her bedroom flickered intermittently as if a strange force were controlling them.

The girls in Room 401 seemed to curse loudly and yell out Zhao Kes name.

She knew very well who Zhao Ke was; some girls would warn her not to get close to him since whoever met him would experience misfortune.

Because of you, Lin Yiqi hates me! Its all your fault! All your fault. All of you will pay for it!

Bright could hear Zhao Ke growling, and soon she could hear girls screaming.

What the?

N-no! P-please, were sorry!

A ghost

The screaming faded out into soft pleading, and soon the soft pleadings turned into groans of pain.

Bright shivered; her inquisitive mind couldnt help but conjure up the worst scenarios in her mind.

She knew that just across this wall was a terrifying demon.

N-none of my business. I heard nothing. I heard nothing.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Help me! Please open the door! A hoarse female voice shouted outside Brights door. Please let me in! H-hes not human! Hes going to kill me!

Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock

No one can hear it; the only one who can hear it is herself.

She has been silently thinking of a way to solve this problem that has troubled her for many years and has joined many forums that talk about urban legends.

One day, she saw a user named Pharoah talking about going to Shihekou High School for a trial of guts.

After hesitating for a long time, she sent a friend request to Pharoah.

[Pharoah has accepted your friend request.]

[?]

[That school is dangerous. I suggest you not go there.]

[You know something about it?]

[Troubled by something there.]

[Me too. Im planning to look for a solution there. Want to come along?

[Okay. Ill come with you.]

When she reached the school, she decided to face her past head-on instead of running away.

She thought that this was the last way to break out of the predicament, but

Standing on the edge of the roof of the teaching building, she saw the girl who used to live next door to her.

The girl was wearing a wet school uniform; her hair was messy and dripping, and her face was as pale as a corpse.

No malice radiated from her body, but her bloodshot eyes stared daggers into Bright.

Turning to Daydream, Bright let out a dry laugh, saying, Its useless. From the moment we stepped onto the campus, he was watching.

Bright was enlightened. As soon as that incident occurred next door in Room 401, escape was never an option.

Bright took a step forward, and the wind rushed past her face.

She fell off the building, and strangely enough, the weightlessness of it all set her free.

She smiled.
