Chapter Seventy-Eight: Basketball Shoes

Gou Ming soon discovers that this area, located at the back of the school, belongs to the sports area of Sakakino Gakuen.

There are large indoor gymnasiums, swimming pools, kendo clubs, and more.

What's more troublesome is that this time the system only gives a general introduction, and the specific clues must be found by yourself.

Gou Ming suspects that he should have triggered the strange event in the wrong way.

If you had targeted Ito, the person directly involved in the incident, you would have been able to find more clues.

The system will not only give such ambiguous information that cannot be regarded as a clue at all.

'If I had known, I should have followed Makoto Ito......

A trace of remorse rose in Gou Ming's heart.

Even though it's daytime, as long as he is patient, he will definitely find an opportunity to subdue Makoto Ito and get the clues he wants.

Now he was left to find clues on his own.

Gou Ming's current location is at the back of the gymnasium, and he needs to bypass or walk through the gymnasium to reach the area of the school building in front of him.

Click! Click!

The footsteps of a man echoed in the darkness.

Now the whole school is empty, not even the lights are on, and it is pitch black all around, only the circular light spots emitted by the flashlight in Gou Ming's hand are swaying back and forth.

Gou Ming walked between the passages of large and small venues, as if walking between coffins of different shapes.

Syllable! Syllable!

I don't know where I heard a continuous crashing sound.

Gou Ming subconsciously shone the flashlight over, only to find that the back door of the gymnasium was not closed.

The half-hidden door was blown by the wind, opening and closing, making a cacophony of noise.

The door swayed, illuminated by the flashlight, as if to invite Gouming.

At this moment, a faint red glow flashed from inside the door that opened and closed.

Gou Ming couldn't help but take a closer look, and found that there seemed to be a pair of dark red basketball shoes on the floor not far from the door.

Indoor gymnasiums generally have dedicated locker rooms, and no one will leave basketball shoes at the door.

Something must be wonderful!

was looking for clues, but Gou Ming just thought about it for a moment and walked towards the door.

Bang bang bang!

I don't know if I noticed the approach of Gou Ming, the door opened and closed more vigorously, and the continuous collision sound spread far away.

Coming to the door, Gou Ming stretched out his hand and pushed hard, and the door opened.

As the door was pushed open, a strong musty smell came from the pavement. The gymnasium seemed to have been closed for a short period of time, and the poor ventilation and heavy humidity caused the smell to be very strong.

When the flashlight shines in, you will be greeted by a dark yellow, gray wooden floor, and a pair of basketball shoes facing the door.

The flashlight shines on the basketball shoe, and the Nike logo on the side reflects a dull gray-white color.

Gou Ming found out that this pair of basketball shoes was not only worn, but also the basketball shoes that were originally pure white were stained with a lot of dark red and faint black stains.

Gou Ming shines a flashlight on the inside of the gymnasium.

This indoor gymnasium was similar to the Seirin High School gymnasium he had seen a few days earlier.

Inside is a standard indoor basketball hall, with a stage in front of it with a podium.

Gou Ming was carefully observing everything in the gymnasium when suddenly there was a small grinding sound in his ears, as if something was moving on the floor.

At the same time, Gou Ming noticed that the imperial guard in his chest was starting to heat up.

Gou Ming immediately became alert, picked up a flashlight and shone it near him.

After a while, Gou Ming's brow furrowed, and the flashlight shone directly on the worn basketball shoes.

These basketball shoes seem to be a little closer to me than just now!?

Is it because of the illusion caused by the dark environment and psychological stress?

With a hint of doubt, Gou Ming removed the flashlight.

Rustling!

The grinding sound of the floor sounded again, and Gou Ming immediately shone the flashlight.

This time it was not an illusion, the basketball shoes were indeed approaching him.

Gou Ming frowned, pulled out a crowbar from his backpack, and then walked into the gymnasium, picked up a basketball shoe, shone it with a flashlight, and looked at it.

The basketball shoes were torn and dirty, and they must have been covered with a lot of germs, and Gou Ming was reluctant to touch them directly with his hands.

As for the crowbar, he is a dry catering, and every time he takes it back, he naturally has to disinfect it.

After some inspection, Gou Ming found that this was an ordinary pair of Nike basketball shoes, but there were a lot of blood stains on them.

As a result, the shoes have a foul smell of rot mixed with rust.

Gou Ming didn't find anything, so he picked up his basketball shoes, threw them out of the door, and then continued to search the gymnasium.

Not long after Gou Ming entered the gymnasium, the lid of the garbage incinerator quietly opened, and a charred arm came out of it......

Rustling!

There was a grinding sound again.

Gou Ming turned around and shone with a flashlight, and the blood-stained basketball shoes somehow formed a pair, less than a meter behind Gou Ming.

It was as if there was a pair of invisible feet, wearing this pair of basketball heels behind Gouming.

Gou Ming is hesitating whether to throw the basketball shoes in the trash.

Phew!

Two strange noises were heard.

Gou Ming followed the prestige and shone the flashlight in that direction at the same time.

The circular glow from the flashlight reflected an iron door with a sign that read 'Locker Room'.

The iron door suddenly shook violently, a large amount of dust fell from the wall, the door lock made a clicking sound, and the swaying seemed to fall off in the next second, and the door shaft gradually bent and deformed.

Behind the iron gate, it was as if a monster was about to get out of trouble.

The temperature of the chest rose again.

At this moment, Gou Ming suddenly felt a resentful gaze behind him, which fell directly to his back.

At the same time, the air began to fill the air with a foul stench of charred flesh mixed with a strong rust smell.

Gou Ming called out the system in his heart, and turned to shine the flashlight behind him.

Round flares of light glide across the floor, reflecting an eerie grayish-yellow color.

The basketball shoes were closer to me.

And that malicious gaze shot at him almost undisguisedly diagonally from directly opposite Gou Ming.

Gou Ming subconsciously raised the high flash, the round light spot followed upward, the transparent plexiglass rebound, the orange alloy carbon steel basket, and the ...... A head hanging from the Nets.

It was the head of a short-haired girl, blood dripping from the severed parts of her eyes and neck.

The pair of blood pupils, which were completely occupied by blood, shot through the holes in the net, and shot a resentful and vicious gaze towards Gou Ming.

She seemed to sense Gou Ming's gaze, and condescendingly showed a weird smile at Gou Ming.

That's when it happened.

Bang!

Da-da-da-da!

The first sound was the sound of the iron door of the locker room being slammed open.

The second sound was the sound of something crawling quickly into the gym!
