"I could see the fire spreading, and it was burning faster and faster. The smoke was thick, and there were screams and wails everywhere. I couldn't open my eyes, and I wanted to run out, but once I opened the door, the fire rushed into the room."
Zhang Ju collapsed to the ground, and veins popped on his forehead. The scar on his face was quivering. "I don't know where the pain came from, but I tried my best to rush out. I couldn't catch my breath, and my eyes couldn't see anything. In the end, I fainted in the corridor.
"I could vaguely feel someone lifting me up. At the time, I was still conscious."
Fingers that were stained with dirt and blood reached into his hair. Zhang Ju used his elbow to support his body. "I should have been sent to the hospital. I could vaguely hear the conversation between my parents and the doctor. I wanted to open my eyes, but when I did, I saw a completely dark world. It was like everything had been burnt."
Zhang Ju's voice slowly returned to normal. He collapsed to the ground. "I can remember my parents' faces and the doctors and nurses who took care of me, but I can't remember how I woke up from the coma, and I can't remember how I ended up at this school."
"Is there a possibility that you've never woken up, and this is the world after you fainted?" Chen Ge's words surprised Zhang Ju.
"I haven't woken up? This is the world after I fainted? "Zhang Ju repeated what Chen Ge had said." Then, all of this is my dream? All of you are figments of my imagination? "
"Figments my ass. Can't we be a little more normal?" Zhou Tu grabbed the cleaver from Zhang Ju's hand. "I don't know about other people, but I'm not the person in your dream. I'll keep the cleaver for you so that you won't have to experiment on it later."
Zhou Tu felt like he was the only normal person in this club, so it was safer for him to hold the weapon himself.
"Zhang Ju's words are not completely unreasonable, but there is one thing he's wrong about. This world is not just his own dream but a collection of many people's negative emotions and despairing experiences to form a nightmare. " Chen Ge's eyes scanned the faces of all the club members. "You're all trapped in this world, and this world was created by your own hands."
After Chen Ge finished speaking, the forest became extremely quiet. Everyone looked at him, and the expressions on their faces were very interesting.
"I know you might not be able to accept it for now, but it's okay. We still have time." Chen Ge carried Wang Yicheng and looked at the wall. "After Wang Yicheng's memory awakened, he attracted the manager. Now, Zhang Ju, your memory is loosening as well. The manager might come, so we need to leave as soon as possible."
Chen Ge turned around and walked out of the forest.
"Wait!"
Zhang Ju's hands gripped the red dirt on the ground. He slowly raised his head and stared at Chen Ge. "Who are you? Why are you telling us this? "
"Who I am isn't important. What's important is that I can help you escape from this place. Your family in the real world has been waiting for too long." Chen Ge had a smile on his face. "Actually, I'm very similar to you. I've also lost a part of my childhood memory, so when I met you, I felt like I was seeing my old self."
Waving, Chen Ge walked away. "You're lucky to have met me. Back then, I had no one to guide me, and I fumbled around in the dark alone. I've lost too many things …"
Chen Ge sighed. He led the club members away from the lab and staff dormitories and followed the path to the education block.
"The toilet on the top floor of the education block. The answer I'm looking for should be here."
The education block on the western campus was eerie and quiet, but the education block on the eastern campus was creepy. Once one got close, a chill would crawl up one's back and rush to one's brain.
"Be quiet. If something happens here, the consequences will be very serious," Chen Ge whispered.
"What consequences?" Zhou Tu's forehead was covered in sweat. He held the cleaver that he had taken out from the tree hole. His back was hunched, and his eyes looked around. He looked very nervous.
"The eastern campus is filled with trash that the western campus doesn't want. How do we deal with trash in our daily lives?" Chen Ge maintained the smile on his face, but what he said caused the few members to suck in a cold breath. "After we're captured, we'll be stripped of our useful parts and then discarded after we've been drained of all our value. Dying here is truly a luxury."
There was no turning back. Chen Ge was the first to enter the education block on the eastern campus.
Perhaps it was his imagination, but the eastern campus was darker than the western campus at night.
Stepping on the old steps, the banister had burn marks on it, and the sound of chairs and tables moving could be heard in the empty classroom.
"This place is so scary. I can't believe it's just a wall away from us." Zhu Long lowered his voice. He walked at the back of the group.
"Shush, don't speak." Zhou Tu held the cleaver and followed behind Zhang Ju. He was afraid that the scarred student would suddenly act up and hurt him.
The more you worried about something, the more likely it was to happen. Zhou Tu kept his eyes on Zhang Ju, and the latter suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I'm just curious. Why are there so many doctors' pictures on the education block's corridors?" Zhang Ju raised his head to look at the doctors on the wall. "We're not a medical university, and these doctors don't seem to be famous. Many of them don't even have a profile, just a working picture in a white coat. By the way, did you notice that these pictures are all working pictures? "
Zhang Ju's words attracted Chen Ge's attention. He had felt that these pictures were weird, but he could not figure out why. Now that Zhang Ju mentioned it, he suddenly thought of a possibility.
"The world behind the door is woven from the door-pusher's memory. This school is very unique, and it contains the memory of all the students. The pictures of the doctors on the wall might be people that the students have met in real life." Chen Ge pressed lightly on Zhang Ju's shoulder. "Pay attention to these pictures and see if there are any doctors that you know."
"The doctors on the wall are the best of the best. How would I know them?"
"Here, doctors might have a special meaning. Just do as I say." Chen Ge led the club members up the stairs. When they passed the third floor, he suddenly stopped. "Don't move. There's someone up ahead."
The classroom on the third floor that was closest to the corridor was not locked, and the low-quality wooden door creaked noisily in the wind.
Chen Ge's group stood in the corridor without moving. After a while, a shadow walked out from the classroom.
"This body looks familiar. Is it Chang Gu?"
