Chapter 3 Threats
"It's ...... It's too dark, isn't it? β
By the time we finally found the security room, it was already completely dark, and if it weren't for the heavy breathing of the big man in my ears, I would have been a little timid.
"What's the matter, you're a big man and you're still afraid of the dark?"
And he looked fearless, and his thunderous voice gave me some confidence. With this confidence, I whispered in the direction behind me,
"Hey, are you keeping up?"
"Hmm."
I could hear it, it was a girl's voice, she had spoken a lot less since she entered the school building, and the little girl who followed her was even more careful to breathe.
"Okay, it's okay, I've arrived at my destination, and if I really can't do it, I can stay here for one night first."
"We ...... Are we really going to live here? It's so dark, it's scary......"
I paused, the girl's concern was not unreasonable, in such a place where I couldn't see my fingers, if there was any danger, it would not be difficult to see clearly...... I shook my head vigorously, trying to put these negative thoughts behind me,
"Anyway, let's go in first, there's no better choice."
The girl was silent, and in the darkness I lost my sense of distance from her.
"Boy, stand aside, I'll kick this door open."
The silence was broken by the order of the Great Han,
"Relax, do you know where the door is?"
"I already touched it when you were nagging and talking, MD school has become like this, this security guard still locks the door!"
He scolded and put his hand on my shoulder,
"Give me a hand."
"Okay, be careful."
I didn't reply, I just felt a tremendous force coming from my shoulder, as if it was about to press me to the ground. In the darkness, the wind swept by, slamming in front of it, and the sound of metal grinding and breaking was deafening. Soon, as if nothing had happened, the tremendous force dissipated, and the big man removed his hand from me, his tone full of excitement,
"It's on!"
I raised my hand and reached forward, and sure enough, the place where the door should have been opened was now empty.
"I'm ..... That's amazing......"
"Heaw ghost, isn't it just a broken door? Come in and see what's available! β
"Good!"
With such a strong teammate, my heart settled down a lot, and I even stepped into the door first.
"Come in too!"
"Hmm!"
The maiden and the girl replied together, as if sensing hope, and their voices were much higher.
I stumbled forward, my vision completely useless, like a blind man touching an elephant, and I explored the objects in the darkness with my hands.
"Huh? This is? β
Suddenly, I came across something that was slightly familiar, a cylinder with a circular structure attached to the top.
"Flashlight! I think I've found a flashlight! β
"Really! Hurry up, hurry up! Let's see if it can still be opened! β
I was overjoyed, and the big man also followed the sound and rushed over, and we bumped into each other in the confusion.
"Don't squeeze me! caoοΌ Don't rob it! β
"Grinding and chirping...... Can it be faster! β
As I was arguing with him, someone pushed the flashlight switch, and a dazzling white light shot out of my hand, illuminating most of the room in an instant. Accustomed to the darkness, my pupils wrinkled painfully under the strong light, I raised my hand to cover my eyes, and the flashlight was transferred to the big man's hand.
"Holy! Get out of the way! Thankfully, there's still electricity! β
I was surprised and delighted, thinking that since I woke up, at least things are going in a positive direction.
But suddenly, something seemed wrong with the atmosphere around me, and I was still rubbing my eyes, completely confused.
"Hey! What's wrong! Why don't you speak? β
The ghostly ghost that floated in front of me gradually dissipated, and the first to break into my sight was the girl hiding in the corner and the girl behind her. The girl's eyes were wide open and she looked at me in horror,
"You...... What are you going to do......
"Me? How am I-"
I was only halfway through the sentence before I quickly realized that her fear was not because of me, but because of the big man standing beside me, who was holding an iron rod that had been found out of nowhere, and which was stained with large dark red marks.
The air froze and I tried to run away, but the flashlight hit me like a spotlight and I couldn't hide. My heart was beating violently, and a large stream of blood was pulsing up my brain, and the irresistible vertigo tied me firmly in place, and then the warning appeared in my mind again:
"Don't trust them!"
This time I believed it.
"Hey! , you-"
As soon as I opened my mouth, the powerlessness of my words was exposed, and I might not be able to carry it in the face of a strong and majestic man who was more than two meters tall, not to mention that he still had a weapon in his hand at this time. I thought about the door that had just been kicked open, and I was terrified, if he had any other thoughts, the three of us would not have made it out of this room alive.
"Uh...... What's wrong, you guys? β
However, the big man in the center of the whirlpool tilted his head, looked at me who was propping up the table sideways, and asked,
"However, the little brother's flashlight is amazing! Look at the white that shines on you! β
I breathed a sigh of relief, embarrassed to hide my panic,
"Ha, hahaha, yes, haha."
I looked at the two girls behind him, who seemed to relax a little as well.
"What the hell am I hiding from you! MD is mysterious! β
Although Dahan's intelligence is worried, he still notices that something is wrong.
"You, the one in your hand, when did you find it?"
The girl asked as calmly as she could, while her hands were still behind her.
"Clams? This one? β
The big man waved the subway stick in his hand at the girl,
"I picked it up at the door, why are you only sending it now-why is there blood on it!"
Seeing Dahan's surprised expression, I immediately understood that he had no malicious intentions, just simple stupidity.
"You don't know? You don't know after taking it for so long? β
"Damn, I don't know! No, why do you doubt me! β
"Forget it, now is not the time to talk about this, where exactly did you find it?"
"I- wait, where is ......?"
Knock ββββββ
Suddenly, there was a strange noise in the hallway, like something heavy falling to the ground, and the little girl, who had managed to poke her head out, retracted into the gap between the girl's back and the corner of the wall.
"Do you hear anything?"
I was still trying to deceive myself, but the big man had already moved to the door vigilantly, and quickly turned his face and shouted,
"Nonsense! What else is there but us! β
"Say no more! Don't say it! β
As Dahan explained, the little girl's screams rang out, and these pressures were not something she could easily withstand at her age.
"Huh! Don'tβbe quiet! β
Dahan said anxiously with a suppressed voice, but he was at a loss for this meeting.
"Come, sister hug you, don't cry, it's okay, big brother will protect your ......"
Fortunately, the girl who had been watching the girl came forward in time, and she crouched next to the girl, hugging her girl while humming an unfamiliar melody. Strange to say, the girl really calmed down under her relief.
"Good, good. Little brother, you and I go and see what's going on, and you two stay here first, and find something to hold the door from the inside. β
Dahan quickly gave the order, I was stunned at first, but then I felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with this move, after all, everyone staying here is tantamount to sitting and waiting for death, if Dahan and I can find the threat in time, it is better to plan whether to go or stay.
"Okay, I think it's okay, I'll go with you."
After saying that, I looked at the girl crouching not far away, she looked at the girl in her arms, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.
"Without further ado, let's go."
The big man leaned down, raised his flashlight and touched the door, and the cramped security room instantly became dark again. Before leaving, I looked back at the girl for the last time,
"You guys, okay?"
"Hmm."
"Okay, then I'll go."
I don't know how much confidence there was in her answer, or whether it was safer for the two of them to hide here, I couldn't see the look on her face at the moment, and I couldn't guess what she was thinking. For many reasons, I didn't say a word more, and walked towards the bright end without looking back.
There is no moon in the sky tonight, and it seems that the light of the whole world only exists in the flashlight in the hand of the big man, and I stepped on his steps tightly, not daring to leave half a step.
The hallway was much longer than I had imagined, and in the dead darkness the flashlight could only illuminate the walls on either side and the iron doors that opened and closed. Following the light, I saw that the desks and chairs in the classroom were neatly arranged, which was very different from the dilapidated appearance of the school.
"Why is MD so dark!"
The depressing environment made me become: a little neurotic,
"yes, blackβhuh? Wait, almost, come on, you have a flashlight. β
"What is almost?"
"Where the noise came from before, it's right ahead."
"Grass ......"
I was really panicked at this moment, and the thought that maybe some extremely terrible strange shape was curled up in a corner, and I was about to find the right time to pounce on it, and goosebumps crawled uncontrollably all over my body. I trembled and held up the flashlight handed over by the big man, and wanted to shine straight ahead, but because the light of the trembling flashlight was also swirling irregularly.
"Calm down!"
The big man said viciously,
"Follow the steps of labor and management, go forward! MD: I want to see what kind of bull ghost snake god it is! β
Maybe it was my delusion, but I even felt a little uneasy about him. But I couldn't say much at the moment, so I could only hold the flashlight with all my might, trying to stabilize the aperture as I walked forward.
But after only two steps, the big man stopped, straightened up and turned towards me.
"Huh? What's wrong with you turning around? β
"Well, see for yourself."
I took two more tentative steps forward, and sure enough, something was not far away on the ground, and I squinted and looked closely, and it turned out to be just a fluorescent lampshade. The tight strings finally loosened, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ahh
The big man walked to the lampshade and knocked on it with an iron rod.
"What a broken school! In disrepair. β
"Okay, okay, since it's okay, let's go back quickly, otherwise the two of them will have to worry again."
The big man finally kicked the lampshade, turned around and strode in front of me,
"Let's go! Return! β
Without the psychological burden, this journey has become much shorter, if it weren't for me and Dahan not knowing what to talk about because of amnesia, maybe this would be a good opportunity to get closer.
When he came to the door of the security room, the big man coughed twice in a pretended manner, and then knocked on the door with a brave look.
"Haha! The threats have been settled by both of us! β
But there was no response from inside.
"Hey! Get things out of the way! We're going to go in- huh? β
The big man pushed down, and the iron door opened with a creaking noise,
"What? Didn't they block it with something? β
With doubts, I also walked to the door, but the stiff body of the big man covered most of the space.
"No, it can't ......"
"What can't be? What's going on? β
I had a bad premonition in my heart, and hurriedly raised my flashlight to shine it inward, but the scene in front of me was far beyond my cognition.
"Why ......"
My mouth was dry, and my chest felt like a fire was burning,
"What about them? No...... Where is this? β
In front of us was not a security room, but a bottomless cave that was the same size as the floor, and even droplets of water on the strange rocks around it. The damp and icy wind blew from within, stirring my mind that was about to burst.
"This, what the hellβ"
I turned my head to look at the equally shocked man, and just as I was about to shout, he suddenly grabbed my arm and quickly dragged me into the classroom next door, where I was lying on the ground with my head on my head.
"What, what's wrong?"
I saw his face turn pale, and his two pupils trembling in the light of the flashlight.
"You! Turn off the flashlight!
Something is running out! β
