Chapter 19: There Are Others

"Xiaoxi, what are you doing?"

The cherry tree, which looked at me drawing patterns on the wall, asked puzzled. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Mark it so we don't get lost."

"Hey—"

Sakura slowly slid down with her back against the wall, she threw her empty gaze into a dirty corner somewhere, after calming down, she was more sluggish than when she was scared just now, and after her mind was destroyed, she saw that her clothes were splashed with blood, and her shoes were also full of blood, Sakura took out a tissue from her bag and wiped it vigorously, her movements were a little angry.

"It's so annoying, why do you want to arrange any spring trips, why do you want to come along, I didn't really want to come before, if I had been firm in my mind then, I wouldn't be like this now, I wouldn't be stuck in such a terrible place... I hate it, I hate it..."

Sakura cried and cursed, and slammed the wall a few times with her fist, "Knock..."

"Sakura, don't do this, save some energy and get some rest."

I hurriedly stopped her from continuing to hammer the wall, as the protruding joints on the back of her hands had already been hammered.

"Xiaoxi, how are we going to find that mailbox, we don't know where this place is, how to find it, I think, it's only right for the two of us to find a way to escape."

"No, I can't watch my classmate die again..."

"Again...?"

"Oh-I mean, you saw what happened to Vennai, it can't happen any worse than that."

I almost slipped out, but I quickly changed the conversation so that Sakura didn't hear it.

"Oh, I thought you knew something, I saw a movie before that said that the main character made a contract with the Grim Reaper with his soul in order to save his friend and then reversed time and went back in time to survive the chance to do it again."

Sakura said, licking her chapped lips.

Sounds a bit like me, I asked, looking at Sakura.

"If you were the main character, what would you do if you did it all over again?"

"I'm definitely not going to do anything to make a living, but if I save my friends, I'll do what I can, and I won't do it if I can't do it."

"Would you rather give up someone else's life? Absolutely not? ”

“… Xiaoxi, I know that I am not a good person, and my grades in the class are also very poor, and I won't say anything appropriate, but in short, I only do what I can do by myself, and if I can't do it, I will give up. ”

I nodded and said nothing, making a special mark on the wall.

"Alright, let's move on."

"Hmm!"

Sakura stood up and pounded the wall again-

"Boom-"

"Knock-"

Sakura suddenly withdrew his hand like an electric shock, and the two "knocks" came from the other side of the wall, and the side we couldn't see, the faint "knock" sound clearly echoed the cherry tree in this terrifyingly quiet corridor.

We looked at each other, Sakura pressed her index finger to her lips and raised her right hand into a fist in the air.

"Knock knock."

This time she knocked three times.

"Knock knock."

The opposite side also responded three times.

"Who is it?"

Sakura said nervously.

"This place... It can't be a ghost, right? ”

She took a few steps back with her shoulders high, as if something was going to burst out of this wall.

"Maybe it's someone, let's go and have a look."

I said, and walked briskly towards the end of the hallway.

What is that side of the wall? Could it be another corridor parallel to us, where exactly is standing responding to us?

Soon the end came, and I thought there would be another way when I turned around, but it turned out to be a closed door.

"Do you want to go in?"

"-um-hmm1"

After entering the door, I kept looking ahead, not noticing that there was something horizontal under my feet, and after I tripped and fell, I realized that it was not an object, but a person.

From the clothes and hair on his back, I immediately recognized this person who was lying here motionless, he was Yusuke, the boy sitting in front of Kihara in the classroom.

Yusuke was lying face down, and there was a large dark red color on the clothes on his back, which was blood, and the ground around him was full of blood that had begun to coagulate, and I felt my head explode as soon as I felt it, and my ears made an uncomfortable sound.

Sakura was quite bold, covering his mouth and nose with one arm, and the other went to explore Yusuke's neck.

"It's out of gas."

She shook her head.

We saw that at the waist of Yusuke, there was an iron rod about two fingers thick, and we couldn't see his front, but we could guess that this iron rod must have cruelly passed through several organs in his body.

Judging from the scene, Yusuke was not killed by accident, but killed.

――Who did it?

We didn't hear any attacks and fights along the way, and judging by the time of blood clotting, Yusuke had been dead for a while.

I felt more and more frightened, and a terrible thought crossed my mind.

I looked up at the roof, and there was a roof that had been removed, and there was a hole in the black hole, and judging from the position of the hole in front of Yusuke's body, he must have been pierced to death by an iron rod that came out of the hole above.

Of course, the iron rod will not come out of thin air on its own, it can only show that at that time, in that hole with an empty roof, "someone" hid in it and killed Yusuke.

"Xiaoxi, let's go quickly, I don't have time to care about him."

Sakura urged on the side, and I nodded in response.

In fact, this room is only a relatively wide passage, with two doors in front and back, and Yusuke is lying horizontally at the back door, near the front door, and I quietly made another mark with my pen, and this time I didn't even notice the cherry trees.

As I thought about it, I was going to revisit this "game", and if the dirty corridor we just passed through was the "beginning" of some kind of scene, then it meant that the participants would all pass through that place...

That's right, if Sakura and I were participants, it is not difficult to say that there are also classmates who were ordered by the black cloak to "kill their classmates" to find the mailbox to reply to the letter, there is definitely such a possibility, I thought at first that this kind of heavy responsibility was only for me, I was so naïve, anyone can possibly.

But there is one thing I don't understand.,Suppose it's just me and Yusuke's group who are looking for the mailbox at the same time.,The task I get is to put the letter in my hand into the first mailbox.,If Yusuke is also the same task.,Why did Yusuke die here?

-- There is only one possibility, and there is a conflict between us.

The inevitable and inevitable conflict needs to be decided by the method of "either you die or I die", so there is a tragic result in front of you. In other words, there are probably several groups of people who are carrying out this matter.

Exiting the passage-like room, the view was immediately expanded.

We were outside, and there were many square concrete buildings in front of us, and there was a very tall water tower not far away.

At this moment, the cherry tree that was running in front suddenly stopped.

"Xiaoxi, come and see this."

On the stone steps in front of a building, there was a backpack with the zipper open, and I knew whose backpack it was, because there was a clear marker on it, and when I saw that marker, the person's face immediately came to my mind.
