Chapter 66: The Otherworldly Staircase
"It's all your fault! You can't take care of what people give you!"
Yoshiko Sato and her boyfriend, Katsu Yasuda, are walking towards school.
They are two students from New Taipei High School.
It's eight o'clock in the evening.
The young couple quietly ran back to school at night because the boy had forgotten to take a silver ring that the girl had given him.
"Isn't this forgetting after the club activities? Besides, if it weren't for you urging me, I wouldn't have forgotten it,"
Yasuda-kun complained quietly.
"Is it all my fault for saying that?"
The cute-looking Yoshiko Sato thrust her waist angrily and looked at Yasuda-kun beside her.
Saying this, the two of them had already walked into the dark New Taipei High School.
"Wait," Yasuda-kun suddenly spoke, interrupting Yoshiko Sato, who was chattering.
"Did you hear anything?"
"You don't change the subject!" Yoshiko Sato glared and said angrily.
"No, really,"
Yasuda-kun focused on his ears and listened.
"It's like ....... in the square"
Yoshiko Sato was suddenly a little scared, and she didn't care about complaining about her boyfriend, but pulled Yasuda-kun's sleeve and said in a trembling voice:
"Let's get out of here after we find something."
Yasuda was still listening to the vague voice, and before he could make it carefully, Yoshiko Sato pulled him towards the unlit school building.
Class B of the third grade, on the top of the teaching building, the voice-activated lights in the corridor didn't know why they didn't turn on, and the two went upstairs in the dark.
In the stairwell, I don't know why, the footsteps of the two of them unconsciously lightened,
It's as if I'm afraid to wake up something lurking in the dark.
Yoshiko Sato suddenly regretted that she shouldn't have come to school at night.
When she arrived at the door of the class, Yoshiko Sato patted Yasuda-kun on the shoulder,
"Come in and find it, I'll let you wind outside."
Why let the wind go, will anyone come?
Yasuda-kun's heart also began to be frightened.
Tiptoeing into the classroom, Yasuda touched the switch on the wall, "click", the sound sounded, but the light did not turn on.
What's going on?
Could it be that the school stopped supplying electricity at night?
I had no choice but to rely on my own memory and touch my desk.
The silver ring was placed in the drawer by himself, Yasuda touched it, and fortunately, it was still lying quietly in the drawer.
"Got it!"
Yasuda turned his head in surprise and said to Yoshiko Sato while holding the ring.
"An, Yasuda-kun," Yoshiko Sato, who was standing outside the door, swallowed her saliva and said in a trembling voice: "Square, square, it seems that someone is shooting the ball......"
A tingling and sour sensation came from Yasuda-kun's spine, and Yasuda-kun put the ring on his hand and ran out.
In the process of running, I came across a lot of tables, chairs and benches, making harsh and ugly sounds.
Yasuda and Yoshiko Sato stood upstairs and looked down, there was no moon tonight, and they couldn't see if there was anyone below.
Only the sound of "bang, bang, bang" can be heard.
"Why, how can anyone run to this place at night to shoot the ball?"
Yasuda swallowed.
"Eh, Yasuda-kun, I, let's go."
This was said to Yasuda's heart, he nodded, and Yoshiko Sato prepared to look downstairs.
"Smack!"
Suddenly, a strong beam of light shone on the two of them.
Found by security?
Yasuda blocked the blinding beam with his hand and looked that way.
"Uncle, we're here to get something, and we're going back now," Sato shook his hand, trying to get the man with the flashlight to move the light away.
But the man was unmoved.
Yasuda frowned, "Hey, old man, don't shine a flashlight on us!" After speaking, Yasuda-kun took a step to the side.
"Ah,"
Yasuda-kun let out a hurried whisper, and he took a few steps back in confusion and fear, his eyes full of horror.
In front of him was a flashlight.
There is only one flashlight.
Floating there quietly, a strong light shot from the lamp head, shining on the two of them.
Yasuda grabbed Yoshiko Sato's hand and ran downstairs, but Sato Yoshiko hadn't reacted to what was happening.
Heavy breathing, chaotic footsteps, and rapid heartbeats were mixed together......
1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th floors......
7th Floor.......
"Wait!"
Yoshiko Sato called out to her boyfriend. The two stood breathlessly in the dark stairwell.
Yasuda was relieved to see that the weird flashlight hadn't chased after him.
"That, that, Yasuda-kun, how many floors does our teaching building have?"
Yoshiko Sato's words made Yasuda's originally relieved heart hang again.
1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th floors......
The third-grade building is on the sixth floor.
The third grade building is on the top floor.
However, they had already gone down seven floors.......
"Oh no, we're down to the basement, let's go back!" As he spoke, Yasuda took Yoshiko Sato's hand and was about to go back.
"Is there a basement in our school building......?"
Yes, does our school building have a basement?
A creepy sensation spread throughout the two of them.
didn't dare to think about it, and the two climbed up another floor.
What was supposed to be the location of the exit was a thick, icy wall at this time.
"How so?" Yoshiko Sato's expression was dull, and she muttered in her mouth.
Yasuda gritted his teeth, he didn't believe in this evil, and took Yoshiko Sato up a flight of stairs.
Or the walls.
Walls, walls, walls.
The location of the stairwell on the third-grade teaching floor was also a wall at this time.
"Impossible....... It couldn't be ......."
Yasuda and Yoshiko Sato touched the smooth concrete wall, and Yoshiko Sato was already crying in fear.
"We're going to die here...... We're going to die here......" Yoshiko Sato sat on the ground and cried, and Yasuda suddenly stood up, her eyes red and running towards it.
"Yasuda-kun!"
Ignoring Yoshiko Sato's mournful shouts behind her, Yasuda-kun went up another level.
There is still no exit from the stairwell.
Another layer,
Another layer,
Further up,
Further up!
Yasuda climbed four more floors, still a closed stairwell.
I don't want to die, I don't want to die!
Not up, down!
Yasuda-kun ran down again, and it turned out that the floor where he and Yoshiko Sato were was no longer there.
He didn't care about that, and still ran down.
The physical strength is constantly being consumed, but the staircase in front of me is still extending.
He didn't know how long he had run, he didn't know how many flights of stairs he had run,
Where does this endless staircase lead?
"When the ---- is long"
A silver ring, dropped to the ground.
