Chapter 164: The Things That Bind Her

Hello? Hello? Can you tell me what happened?

She called out for her twice, but her body failed to give any response.

Something made her head disconnect, she thought, and she felt unsettled as she stared into the fog.

It couldnt be the bamboo scrolls since they werent on campus anymore.

Could this be the terrifying existence that she mentioned before?

Although she was lucky enough to survive until today, there is no guarantee that her existence would allow her to exist peacefully on campus.

Thinking of this, her face turned slightly pale, and she raised her head to glance at the depths of the campus.

The path was strangely humid and hot, and the weeds and trees swayed unnaturally with the breeze.

If the headless girl wanted her to run away, it meant that something dangerous lurked in the school.

Which means I have to run away! What are you waiting for?

Its the same as in all horror movies: Curiosity kills the cat! Its better to just not enter the creepy cabin and go back home!

She hurriedly carried the headless girls body on her shoulders and stumbled upon her bloodied head not far away. She picked it up and ran out the school gate.

She didnt bother to take her guitar bag or the box containing the bamboo scrolls.

Her body seemed strangely heavy, despite Yibeis strength as a witch, and she only became heavier the more she moved away from the gate.

Her legs trembled, feeling the weight on her shoulders. Looking at the exit that was only one step away, she gritted her teeth and took a step with all her strength, but

Zip!

A hum, like a metal chain, could be heard; the pressure on her shoulders was relieved, and so was she. However, staring at her empty hands, she looked back in horror.

On the dilapidated path leading to campus, several scarlet chains were conjured out of thin air, piercing through the chest of the headless girl and dragging her back towards the centre of the path.

Her limbs swayed lightly, like a flower that fluttered with the wind.

What the-

What are all of you doing here?

We- we came here to mourn for our classmate she-she

What the You were the ones who killed her. Why are you crying?

Oh, I see, Professor Ma replied.

The scene morphed into a dark campus, and the sound of a car door closing could be heard. A vague outline of Professor Ma could be seen, holding a bunch of flowers in his hand.

I may not know who you are, but may you rest in peace.

Yes! This is exactly what Professor Mas character is! Yibei cheered.

Is this why she helped Yibei rescue Professor Ma?

Im afraid of all the people who gave her flowers; the only genuine one is Professor Ma.

She wanted to listen more, but the black mist and whispers disappeared in an instant, and she found herself back in the centre of the path.

Coming back to her senses, she hurriedly ran towards the unconscious girl, finding her lying near the bushes on the bulletin board, where it was rumoured that she was killed in the first place.

The chains around her had disappeared, and her head was hanging by the treetops.

Yibei attempted to drag her out of the school once again, only for the headless girl to be sling-shotted back into the centre of the path.

Whats happening? She frowned, unsure of what to do. At this moment, she held the hand of the headless girl, and she felt that it was wet. Pulling her hand up, she found that it was covered with asphalt as well as a dark red, viscous liquid.

Ack! What the hell? She yelled, watching as the blood crawled towards the headless girl before evaporating into thin air.

She turned her body around, finding an extra wound on her back where the chains stabbed her, and blood continued to gush out.

A realisation flashed in her eyes, and she quickly threw her knife away.

These chains they are hers. If I cut them, shell be hurt; as for her previous injuries

Her eyes drifted towards the dark campus; the towering buildings, like dead beasts, morphed with the darkness. Behind the dark windows, there seemed to be countless peering eyes.

And I cant take her away from here. Tsk!
