After Feng Bujue dealt with the ghost baby, all the illusions around him disappeared. Only the shattered glass that littered the corridor proved that everything that had happened earlier was real.
There was still some time before the next call, so naturally, he continued his search. Based on Feng Bujue's speculation, of the remaining three supernatural phenomena in the ballad, he decided to ignore the last one for now. The one about the water droplet could be found anywhere with a faucet, and there was a ninety percent chance that it was the toilet. The one about the human meat soup should be in the canteen at the bottom of the other building.
The map of this scenario was not that big, but there were many restrictions. It was similar to the scenario at the House of Usher, if not more difficult.
The education block that Feng Bujue was currently in had five floors, which was lower than the main building. Based on his speculation, it was debatable whether or not he should go to the four floors above. If he went, he might trigger the water droplet event before Passing Rain, and there was a chance that he might trigger a side quest or a hidden quest. If he did not go, then he should head directly to the canteen at the third building, and there, he should be able to encounter the event described in the fifth line of the ballad.
Even though Passing Rain answered the call quickly, said that she was fine, and even hung up on him, Feng Bujue still had a sense of unease in his heart. He thought about it and realized that the girl did not seem like the type to cause trouble for no reason. Had he said something wrong?
After giving it some thought, Feng Bujue decided to go to the canteen. After all, this was a two-player scenario. Currently, there was no telling what kind of effect the death of one player would have on the other. What if the system said, "Due to the death of the player, the player is unable to communicate, and the other party becomes the responsible party and will be pursued by the ghosts?" Then Feng Bujue would be in deep trouble.
Feng Bujue's goal was to reach level 15 as soon as possible, and to do that, clearing the scenario was the prerequisite. Only by clearing the scenario would he be able to get the forty percent EXP reward, so he decided to focus on completing the main quest first.
He left the building and passed through a concave open space between three buildings. Then, he passed through a simple corridor and entered another building.
He pushed open the door and entered the canteen. It was quite spacious. As usual, Feng Bujue scanned the entire area with the flashlight. There were many long tables and benches neatly arranged in the cafeteria. There was a chandelier on the ceiling, but there was no response when the light switch was pressed. The floor was paved with plain tiles, and the walls did not look special. There was a row of sinks on the left after entering the door. There was a counter in the southeast corner, and behind the counter was the kitchen. On the other side was a small convenience store, and not far from it was a vending machine. Blue trash cans about one meter tall could be seen everywhere. On the whole, this was a regular and tidy student cafeteria.
Then … what about human broth?
So far, Feng Bujue hadn't found anything out of the ordinary. It seemed that just strolling around the cafeteria wouldn't trigger the plot. After thinking about it, he should go to the kitchen to take a look …
As he thought of this, his phone rang. Feng Bujue held the phone in front of his eyes. Unknowingly, it was time for a call. He immediately picked it up.
After the call started, the two of them fell into a short silence.
"About before … I'm sorry." It was Passing Rain who apologized first.
"Ah … It's fine. I shouldn't have said that," Feng Bujue replied and changed the topic. "How are you now? Did you trigger a new event? "
Passing Rain replied, "I'm currently in the innermost cubicle of the female toilet on the second floor of the main building."
When he heard this, Feng Bujue knew that something was wrong because he felt that there was an almost imperceptible tremor in Passing Rain's voice, and her breathing was uneven.
"Are you okay?" Feng Bujue asked in a low voice.
"I …" Passing Rain hesitated, but in the end, she did not mention her injury. "I heard water dripping, so I went into the toilet and saw blood dripping from the faucet. When I got closer, the blood flowed faster, and then there was a sound from inside the mirror like something was trying to come out … I didn't raise my head to look, but when I turned around, I realized that the toilet door had closed on its own. I couldn't open it. " She said a lot in one breath, and the unnaturalness in her voice became more obvious. "I lowered my head to avoid looking at the mirror and hid inside a cubicle. Now there's the shadow of a pair of feet, standing outside the cubicle door before me, unmoving. I … temporarily can't fight, I'm trapped … "Even though she was brave, she was still a woman. In this situation, she was still afraid. At that moment, there was a helplessness that could not be hidden in her voice." The sound of water seems to be getting louder, and the floor of the toilet is covered in blood … "
Du — Du — Du —
This time, it was not her who slammed Feng Bujue's phone, but the call was cut off because the time was up.
As Feng Bujue listened to the girl's description, he walked out of the cafeteria and ran toward the main building.
The system announcement soon appeared in his ears. "Warning, you are not allowed to approach your teammates without knowing the situation. Continuing to do so will cause both parties to be hunted down by ghosts."
"Tsk … Now is not the time to be thinking about that kind of thing …" Feng Bujue grumbled with annoyance.
He dashed past the "Don't Run in the Corridor" sign, quickly bypassed the side of the main building, and rushed into the main entrance. After glancing at the schematic diagram of the first horizontal corridor on the first floor, he immediately rushed to the second floor and went straight to the women's bathroom.
The school was only so big. After he knew where he was going, he arrived at the door of the toilet in 3 minutes.
The door was closed, and there was nothing wrong with it. There was no blood seeping out from the gap at the bottom of the door. But Feng Bujue could not turn the doorknob, and even if he wanted to yell to let Passing Rain know that he was there, he could not do that because the communication between them was directly restricted by the system. Naturally, he could not make a sound at a time like this.
Then, Feng Bujue started to wrestle with the lock of the toilet. He clamped his phone under his armpit and held the flashlight in his mouth. He stuck the kitchen knife into the gap of the door and used his other hand to turn the doorknob, but it was to no avail.
Obviously, the door was not "locked". Instead, it was fixed in place by an unknown force. Picking the lock was useless.
There was no other way … he had to knock the door down.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Feng Bujue's shoulder was hurting. At that moment, he was envious of Long Aomin's size. If Brother Long was there, this wooden door would be a piece of cake. His arm was almost as tall as Feng Bujue's thigh, and he would be able to break it down easily with his shield.
However, Feng Bujue could only dream about it. At that moment, he could only rely on his thin shoulder to knock at the wooden door again and again.
Passing Rain, who was trapped in the cubicle, heard the knocking. Even though it was weak, she soon understood what was going on. She tried and realized that she could not make a sound. The only explanation was that Feng Bujue was nearby.
Knowing that he had come to save her, Passing Rain's courage returned. In fact, she was quite touched. However, she was then reminded of the consequences of Feng Bujue's action — the two of them would be hunted down by the ghosts.
Things might develop into a situation where Passing Rain would die alone, but now that Feng Bujue had saved her, the two of them would die together …
Feng Bujue's attempt to knock down the door caused him to lose some Life Points, but his effort was not wasted. One minute later, he succeeded in breaking down the door. When the wooden door that separated the space was forcibly broken open by an external force, a bloody smell immediately assaulted their nostrils.
Feng Bujue felt a wave of dizziness wash over him. After the door was opened, the scenery in his eyes turned weird. It was like he was watching a movie shot on old-fashioned film. There was a feeling that the colors had faded, and the objects in his vision seemed to have lost their frames. It looked very unnatural.
The toilet was covered in blood. When he stepped on the blood, he had to be as careful as possible to not slip. When he raised his feet, there was a feeling that the soles of his shoes were stuck to the floor. Red liquid was flowing out of the faucet by the sink. The blood had already overflowed and dripped to the ground.
'Do not raise your head to look at the mirror.' This was a very direct warning. Passing Rain had also said that she did not look at the mirror when they were on the phone.
Feng Bujue believed that it was because she did not look that she was only trapped and did not face any serious consequences. He walked several steps into the toilet and used the flashlight to shine inside. He saw a blurry blood shadow standing next to the wall at the deepest part of the toilet. The shape of the ghost was that of a human wearing a girl's school uniform and covered in coagulated blood. In the cubicle before the blood shadow, the light of the Constant Weak Light Lantern shone out.
Feng Bujue wanted to attack the ghost, but he suddenly realized that his feet could not move. The blood on the ground moved and curled around his ankles. Like two liquid claws, they pinned Feng Bujue to the ground.
He snorted coldly, and then made an extremely bold move …
Feng Bujue turned his head around and looked directly at the mirror above the sink.
The Feng Bujue in the mirror had no eyes, and blood was leaking out from his two dark eye sockets. The second he saw the reflection in the mirror, the blood shadow changed its target and actively leaned toward him. It appeared before Feng Bujue in the blink of an eye, and their faces were almost touching.
At that moment, Feng Bujue saw it clearly. Under the black hair that covered the ghost's face, there was no human face. Its head was made up of a large number of human eyeballs. The black and white eyeballs congealed together and wiggled. Blood kept flowing out from the gaps …
The ghost reached out with its claws and reached for Feng Bujue's eyes. It was probably going to gouge out his eyeballs to add something to its head … Closer inspection revealed that the ghost's skin was not covered in blood. Other than its head, the rest of its body was made up of blood.
Feng Bujue's legs were only restricted, but his body could move freely. Furthermore, his Terror Points were zero, so there was no reason for him to just sit there and wait for his death. In the blink of an eye, he moved faster than the ghost. He raised the wrench and swung it at the 'eye head' …
