The thick blood fog flowed into the corridor along the path that Chen Ge had opened. The blood red chair flickered in and out of sight, and one could hear the screams and cries for help.
"How many people have died in this corridor? How come it feels so scary walking through it? "the old headmaster whispered. Once he opened his mouth, it felt like cold air crawled into his throat.
"I don't know." Chen Ge shook his head. He was getting closer to Zhang Ya's secret. "How did an introverted and innocent girl become a Top Red Specter? I should be able to find the answer to her experience here. "
The screams and wails grew louder. Blood dripped, and small blood vessels appeared on the wall. This corridor was like the esophagus of a beast, and it was very suffocating.
"Chen Ge, I have a bad feeling about this."
The old headmaster protected Yin Bai and Yin Hong. He wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Yin Hong. "This place makes me uncomfortable. There's a prickling sensation in my heart. You'd better stop moving forward."
A Red Specter's heart was different from a living person's heart. Their heart was their deepest obsession. A prickling sensation in their heart meant that their obsession had been shaken, and it meant that they were in a very dangerous situation.
"Boss, I also have a numbing feeling in my scalp." The broken hand in Bai Qiulin's pocket was shaking. The last time he felt like this was when he ran into the shadow in Li Wan City.
"Don't panic." Of all the people, only Chen Ge maintained his composure. His eyes looked at the chair at the end of the corridor. With every blink, the chair seemed to get closer to him.
This scene was very familiar, just like when he first went to Western Jiujiang's Private Academy.
"Be careful of that chair!" Yin Hong warned again. The chair was not that scary, but it seemed to represent something that could trigger the anxiety in one's heart.
"The cry for help seems to come from the chair. Could the rumors at the school be real?" The higher-year students and teachers guarded the entrance to the female dormitory, and they saw this as well.
The blood fog floated, and the chair was slowly approaching. No one had entered the forbidden zone before, and at that moment, their hearts were in their throats.
The scariest legend at the School of the Afterlife was before them. No one knew what would happen next, and everyone held their breath.
"Save me … save me …"
A girl's voice became clearer and clearer. As the chair approached, everyone could vaguely see a female student sitting on the chair, her eyes filled with malice.
"She seems to be looking for a scapegoat."
Even a Red Specter could not make the girl on the chair retreat. The expression on her face kept twisting as she charged at the group.
"What's that? I can see it, but I can't sense it. It doesn't seem like a malicious spirit, nor does it seem like a remnant will. How strange. " Chen Ge was not the only one who had this strange feeling. Everyone, including the Red Specters around him, had noticed this.
The girl on the chair seemed to be one with the corridor. As the girl approached, it felt like the whole corridor was moving, like a giant mouth, ready to swallow everyone in one gulp.
"Be careful!"
The thick smell of blood was mixed with the cries for help, and everyone had a bad feeling about this.
"Director Lei, are we just going to stand outside and watch? What if something happened to them? Many students have followed him in, "a female teacher outside the female dormitory said.
"Then go in and call them out. I won't stop you." Mr. Lei glared at the female teacher. "When I first entered this school, the forbidden zone already existed. This place hides the most dangerous secret of the school. Do you know what a secret is?"
The female teacher's expression was not good, and she shook her head lightly.
"A secret is that once you know it, you have to pay a corresponding price like death or becoming a part of the secret." Mr. Lei was a smart person, or else he would not have been so successful at the School of the Afterlife. "Later, call more people over. Bring the human bricks and prepare to seal this place."
"Director, the school is being attacked by something from the outside. There are gaps everywhere. If we call more people over, there might be a big problem."
"There's no time to worry about that. Just do as I say."
"Do we need to evacuate the students here?"
"No, I want them to witness with their own eyes the person called Chen Ge die inside the forbidden zone. That way, no one will suspect the school's consciousness, and no one will believe what he said earlier." Mr. Lei retreated into the crowd. "There are enough disobedient children at this school. It's time to wake them up."
"But is that really a good idea?" The female teacher still wanted to persuade him.
"It's too late to say anything now. When they saw the chair, the ending was already decided. Be it Specters or Red Specters, once they are targeted by the monsters inside the chair, unless they escape this school, they will die. " Mr. Lei obviously knew something, but he did not say it out loud. However, there was a trace of pain in his eyes like his friends had disappeared from this place. "This female dormitory is a man-eating monster. None of the people who entered it came back out."
Through the crowd, Mr. Lei looked down the corridor. The blood red chair was flying toward Chen Ge's group.
"Resistance will only lead to more changes. The rooms on both sides of the corridor are filled with monsters. As soon as he makes a move, these people will be devoured without a trace left." Mr. Lei's wise eyes seemed to have seen the end. He yelled at the students around him, "Retreat! This place will soon … "
Before he finished, Mr. Lei suddenly realized that the female teacher beside him had a strange expression on her face. He turned to look and saw that the chair had finally appeared before Chen Ge, but before it stopped, the girl on the chair suddenly screamed and ran down the corridor at a speed faster than when she came.
"This is impossible!" Mr. Lei's hand froze in midair. He walked to the entrance of the female dormitory and pushed aside the trash to look inside.
The scream of the girl on the chair had alerted all the monsters in the corridor, but different from what Mr. Lei expected, the scene of Chen Ge's group being torn apart did not appear. Instead, the half-open doors were all slammed shut, and he even heard the sound of the doors being locked.
"What did the girl on the chair see?"
Mr. Lei could not understand it. The students around Chen Ge and the old headmaster could not figure it out either. In fact, even Chen Ge himself took several seconds to realize what was going on.
"The girl on the chair probably sensed Zhang Ya's presence. That's the only explanation." Chen Ge turned to look at his shadow. "Just the lingering presence on me shouldn't be enough to scare her away. Could it be that Zhang Ya is about to wake up?"
