Chapter 42: The Peculiar Third Floor

In the hallway on the second floor of the school office building, the sound of high heels is still ringing.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer to me, and I was getting more and more nervous.

Strangely, the sound was so close that I didn't even feel anyone coming.

It's a little scary! Hear only their voices, but not see their people? Could it be that guy is a ghost, a female ghost, a female ghost in high heels?

In my mind, a picture came to mind: in the hallway, a woman with a disheveled hair and red high heels was walking towards this side step by step. Her hand hung down, and a few drops of blood were dripping from the tips of her long red nails. The blood, dripping on the corridor, was like a long red snake!

Suddenly, the footsteps, just in front of me, about ten meters away, stopped.

Then, someone spoke. It was a woman's voice.

“WHERE IS MARRY”?

This is English? Yes, I heard it and understood it. She's saying: Where is Mary?

Mary? Mary!

Then the woman I could hear footsteps, but not the figure, spoke again. This time, what she said turned out to be Chinese, and she was fluent in Chinese.

"Tell Mary to come to my office right away, the principal's office on the third floor."

The principal's office? Could it be that this woman is the principal of this middle school?

But why did she call Mary to her office? How could Mary be in this school?

Before I could think about it, the footsteps sounded again. However, the footsteps went into the distance, farther and farther away, and finally, disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Why, I could hear the footsteps of the headmistress, but I couldn't see her at all.

The same scene once appeared in the ghost hospital. There, too, I heard a lot of people talking, but I couldn't see a single person.

However, I am more concerned about Mary now.

Could it be that Mary is also a teacher in this school? Or is she not the Mary I'm looking for, but another Mary? Or maybe this Mary wasn't a teacher, but just a girl in the middle school?

It shouldn't be a female student who can be called into the office by the principal, right? If you need to talk to a female student, a general classroom teacher, a class teacher, or a counselor is fine, but do you still need to go to the labor principal?

Therefore, the "Mary" in the headmaster's mouth, if not the Mary I am looking for, at least, should be the teacher in this school, or the office administrator here, right? In other words, this Mary should be an adult, not a child.

However, no matter who this Mary is, and no matter what her relationship is with this school and this principal, I have to go to the principal's office on the third floor to find out. Perhaps, this Mary is the Mary I've been looking for? If so, wouldn't I have a chance to meet Mary herself?

Thinking of this, I get excited again. So, I decided to go up to the third floor again.

I found the stairs up to the third floor and walked up.

As I went up the stairs, I was still wondering: Is the Mary in this school the same person as the Mary I'm looking for?

It occurred to me that I had overlooked a detail: Mary's nationality!

In my dreams, or in my memories, Mary has always been a blonde and blue-eyed foreign beauty, unlike any of us here.

So, is the Mary I'm looking for actually a foreigner?

No, it's not! If Mary is a foreigner, how can her household registration information be in the police station in Dead Silence? At least, on the file, there should also be a note that she is a foreigner?

However, it is also possible that the Mary recorded in the police station file is not the Mary I am looking for who looks like a foreigner (or maybe a foreigner).

Foreign teachers? Suddenly, another possibility came to mind.

JUST NOW, THE INVISIBLE HEADMISTRESS, THE FIRST SENTENCE OF THE HEADMISTRESS, ACTUALLY SPOKE ENGLISH - "WHERE IS MARRY"?

This headmistress, listening to the fluent accent that speaks behind her, is obviously our native. Since you are a native, why do you have to speak English in the first sentence?

Unless, her first words, were she addressed to a foreigner?

No, the words she said later, "Tell Mary to come to my office right away, the principal's office on the third floor." This should be said to the native people?

Unless, the sentence before and the sentence behind her are said to different people. The first sentence is addressed to a foreigner, and the latter is addressed to a native.

In this school, if there are foreigners, there are at least two or more. BECAUSE, THE PHRASE "WHERE IS MARRY? Apparently not to Mary, but to someone other than Mary, who was probably also a foreigner.

Combined with the fact that the name Mary is a foreigner's name, then I have reason to believe that Mary in this school is probably a foreigner, and she has a companion, another foreigner's companion, and even more foreigners here.

Foreign teachers?

Suddenly, the word popped into my head.

Yes, since this is a school, of course it is possible to hire foreign teachers to teach English to their students? Moreover, there is more than one foreign teacher, and Mary is one of them!

Putting these clues together, I came to the conclusion that Mary in my dream, the blonde Mary, was probably a female teacher who worked as a foreign teacher at this school!

But how did I know a foreign female teacher? Could it be that I have some relationship with this school?

I thought of another person - Wu Qiang.

Will Wu Qiang have some kind of connection with this school? Even, he is the teacher of this school?

While I was thinking about it, I had unconsciously walked up to the third floor.

On the third floor, an incandescent lamp is on. Although it is not very bright, it is still much stronger than the pitch-black scene on the second floor.

However, when I saw the layout of the third floor, I was taken aback.

I thought the third floor should be the same as the downstairs, a square office layout.

However, I didn't expect that all the rooms here were arranged in a circle!

I counted it, there are a total of eight black doors here, and behind that door, it should be the teacher's office, right?

These eight doors form a closed circle, and the center of the circle is actually a fountain in the center.

But when I looked at the fountain again, I was astonished.

This fountain is exactly the same as the fountain in the Dream Hill Cemetery, except that there is no tall humanoid monument behind it.

I looked into the fountain pool, and it was good that the water was clear, and there was nothing terrible about broken hands and feet.

Still, I didn't like the fountain pool very much, because it brought back unpleasant memories for me.

I turned my head and looked at the eight gates, but I was stunned.

Which of these eight gates is behind the principal's office?

At this moment, suddenly, I heard something behind me.

I, who had been attacked from behind by the man in black several times, turned around in fright.

However, I just had a false alarm. This time, it wasn't the man in black who came out, it wasn't some goblin crawling out of the pool, it was a door behind me that opened, and the sound was the one that came when the door was opened.

The door opened, and a light shone out from inside, bringing some life to the originally gloomy third floor.

I was hesitating to walk through the door and take a look, when suddenly, something sounded.

I turned my head, only to find that another door was slowly opening. Another light shot down the middle.

Then, another door opened. And then, another door······

In less than a few seconds, the eight black doors that were originally closed were all opened!

The light that came out of the eight gates was all gathered in the same direction, the fountain in the center.

I couldn't adjust to the light that suddenly became so bright, and I subconsciously closed my eyes.

Suddenly, there was a noise in the fountain pool behind me.

When I looked back, I was surprised to find that water had come out of the fountain pool, which had been quiet in the showers. Not only that, but even at the bottom of the pool, bubbles bubbled, as if some fish were about to jump out of the pool.

Could it be, this time, those severed fingers and stumps again? I was terrified and immediately stepped back.

This time, though, nothing terrible floated out of the pool, just a fountain gushing.

Next, the fountain pool, like a merry-go-round, turned on its own!

What's going on?

I came to my senses, and I heard the fountain pool turning, and the music came out, very beautiful music.

I listened carefully, this is still a world famous song - "Jingle Bells"?

This, it's still a musical fountain, a musical fountain that turns on its own?

Listening to the music, looking at the fountain jets dancing to the music, I was so intoxicated that I seemed to forget that I was not out of danger yet.

Here, there is still a lot of danger!

Suddenly, the music stopped, and the fountain stopped turning.

Then, the eight rays of light suddenly disappeared as well.

It turned out that the doors that had been open were all suddenly closed again.

The hall on the third floor has become the same dim and silent as before.

I stood there dumbfounded, looking at the fountain again.

The water in the fountain pool disappeared without a trace in an instant. Inside the pool, it became a scene of drying up.

Suddenly, I felt a little lost. It's like going to a big dance party, and I'm suddenly kicked out of it.

The "prom" was over, but I quickly regained my composure.

I'm still going to find the principal's office, it must be in one of these eight doors, but which one is it?

By the way, there should be a sign on that door, right? Especially on the door of the principal's office, there must be a big sign that reads "Principal's Office", right?

So, I walked through the doors, trying to find the headmaster's office.

But the strange thing is that there is nothing written on these eight doors. Not only that, but they are exactly the same in shape, color, size, and size, just like octaplets.

Am I on the wrong floor?

This is possible, because in some buildings, the first floor is not considered a floor, and the second floor is considered a first floor, here, it is likely to be only the second floor, right?

However, when I looked up, I found that the top of the chandelier was already roofed. This should be the top floor.

That's right, this should be the third floor, the top floor!

But, no, I remember that this office building is at least five or six stories high, how can it be that there are only three floors here?

However, although there is only a third floor, the height of this third floor is obviously much higher than that of the first and second floors. From the ground of the third floor to the roof, it looks like it is at least ten meters high.

Here, it doesn't look like a school building, but more like a church in the West.

Standing in the empty hall on the third floor, I suddenly felt a little scared.

Maybe I should go downstairs and have a look? I said to myself.

So, I plan to go down the staircase just now and go downstairs to have a look to verify that this floor is not the third floor? But in fact, in my heart, I was a little timid, and even a little wanted to run away.

However, when I walked back there, I found that the staircase that had just come up had disappeared······
