"Let's go. The two incredible people we have to check in next are in the health room. We can leave after taking pictures there."
At the bottom of the stairs, Shimazaki and Hamaka called their companions with normal tone and demeanor.
"Just now...didn't you hear?" Abe's expression was unnatural.
"What did you hear?"
"It's just the sound of footsteps, there seems to be one more sound."
"Ah, is there any? Did you hear it correctly?"
The companion's words made Anbe, who was originally a little frightened, calm down a bit.
Did you hear it wrong just now?
Or the echo in the empty corridor?
Abe looked at the companions below again. Shimazaki and Hamaka still had the same expressions on their faces, but they were a little confused. As for Bando-san, he still had no expression. That poker face would be boring to look at normally, but now he sees that it remains unchanged.
His expression felt inexplicably relieved.
None of the companions felt anything unusual.
Anbe was also in a daze at this time, and even doubted whether he really heard the echo of two footsteps when he took the fifteenth step just now.
After all, humans are social animals.
When an ordinary person's thoughts and opinions are contrary to those of most people, he may be more inclined to deny himself.
If you have the same ideas as the group, your burden will be reduced and you will feel safe.
Therefore, the sound of footsteps was very subtle in the first place, and Anbe felt that maybe it was because he had stayed in the desolate abandoned school for too long, so he became suspicious.
Then, he subconsciously raised his head.
Above are stairs one by one, with rusty iron railings and old wooden handrails revolving. All you can see is the stacked rectangles constructed by the guardrails extending upward.
As for the places that cannot be seen, it seems to be covered in shadow.
"Is there something lurking in the blind spot of sight above, in the shadow of the dark and decaying steps?"
Anbe suddenly thought like this, and then he was startled by his own thoughts.
He had no intention of expressing this sudden thought.
Otherwise, given Shimazaki's character, he would probably suggest that they go upstairs together to take a look.
"Anbe, let's go."
The companions below began to greet Anbe again.
He didn't think much more and walked down the stairs three steps at a time.
The last two people to check in are in the health room on the first floor. Go there to take a photo. It will probably take less than ten minutes to pack up and leave the old school building.
The less trouble, the better.
Returning to the bottom of the corridor, Abe caught up with Shimazaki and Hamaka, and passed by Bando again.
Bando-san, who did not belong to the news agency, did not move immediately, but just stood there blankly.
He also raised his head and stared at the gap created by the handrail above the corridor.
"Well……"
After about ten seconds, Bando snorted with unknown meaning.
The afternoon sun shines through the corridor and into the corridor, and passes through a large amount of flying fine dust. After passing through layers of obstructions, the light becomes slightly dim before finally falling on the face of this junior high school boy.
But his rigid face reflected a shimmer that was similar to inorganic matter in the light.
"Bando, let's go. We're going to the health room. After punching in there, President Shimazaki treats us to oden."
It wasn't until Hamaka shouted from below that Bando withdrew his gaze and followed the others away.
When the students walked away, in the empty and silent corridor, from the invisible place where the rusty iron fence and the old wooden handrail overlapped above, there was once again a rustling sound, coldly walking along the stairs.
Passed down——
Pat. Pat. Pat.
…
Four students walked in groups through the abandoned campus.
While flipping through his notebook, Hamanaka recounted the incredible story of the last two old school buildings to be explored in the health room.
"The first is the 'moving mannequin in the health room'."
This is also an urban legend that is often circulated in various schools. The stories basically revolve around the medical mannequin.
That model is about the same size as a human, with the midline of the body as the dividing line, and its left and right shapes are different.
One side looks like it is covered with human skin, while the other side has no skin, the muscles and bones are exposed, and various organ models can be seen on the abdomen.
Of course, the model itself is made of plastic and is a teaching aid to assist biology classes. It may also be found in the health room.
The corresponding campus ghost stories are not particularly worth talking about.
That is to say, in the dead of night, this mannequin in the school will act like a living creature.
"And then there's 'The Woman in the Box.'"
Here at Beishan Middle School, the story about this strange story goes like this——
It is said that the old school building in Beishan was originally a nursing home for mentally ill patients.
A long time ago, a sane woman was imprisoned here for some reason.
Because the woman often resisted and tried to escape, she was abused by the caregiver at the time.
Finally, she was locked in a single room that was transformed from a closet and could neither sit nor lie down, and died of torture.
Her body was not discovered until much later, after the nursing home was converted into a school.
When the woman was found, her body joints and neck were all twisted, and it took a lot of effort to put her into the coffin.
Students at Kitayama Middle School believe that this woman's ghost is still lingering within the walls here. It is said that as long as someone dares to open a locker in the health room at midnight, this woman will appear and stretch out her crooked neck.
and wrists, costing people's lives.
The four students came to the door of the health room while chatting.
The wooden door was pushed open, and the room was filled with a musty and putrid smell that was littered with various debris and garbage.
"It smells so bad in here."
Shimazaki covered his nose and took a few photos with his camera.
After looking around, he found no medical mannequin in the health room.
"What, there isn't even that kind of model here."
If the mannequin cannot be found, then it is incredible that another old school building is declared to be self-defeating.
However, the students did see a rusty iron locker in the corner.
It seems to be quite old. Judging from the style, it may be a cabinet used by the school nurse to hang white coats and other clothes.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! With the degree of decay on the outside, whether it can be opened is still a question.
"So this is the last one, right? About the woman in the closet."
"Yeah, there seems to be only one cabinet like this in the entire health room."
"I'll come, I'll drive."
For the last incredible check-in exploration, it was the girl Hamaka’s turn to volunteer.
She walked to the iron cabinet by the wall and glanced at President Shimazaki.
The latter has already raised his camera and is ready to take pictures.
"Okay, then..." Hamaka held the cabinet door.
She didn't have any psychological burden, after all, nothing happened during the exploration this afternoon.
Click——
The cabinet door hinges rotate.
Easier to open than expected.
Moreover, during the process of opening the door, Hamaka felt a strange feeling.
It was like something on the other side of the iron cabinet door shook as she opened the door.
Before she had time to think about it, she opened the cabinet completely.
At this moment, Hamaka's pupils instinctively dilated a bit.
She saw a black shadow coming towards her.
boom!
An unknown object hit Hamaka, pressing her to the ground.
After the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, the entire health room fell into a deathly silence.
Abe and Shimazaki on the side were both stunned, and Shimazaki even forgot to press the shutter.
Their minds go blank.
The reaction of the client, Hamaka, was half a beat slower than that of her companions. She was suddenly knocked to the ground by something, leaving her no time to react.
She cried out in pain while trying to push away the weight on her body.
But when he raised his hand, what he touched was cloth, and a cold and stiff touch. Along with it, there was a smell of slightly rotting meat.
Hamaka moved his neck and looked towards the pressed chest.
In his sight, there was black, messy, tangled long hair. And under the black hair, a pair of wide, bloodshot, and turbid eyes.
The one who hit her was a woman.
The body of a woman.
The woman in the closet?
Is there really a woman in the closet!?
"ah--!"
Hamaka screamed and pushed the woman on him away.
The heavy weight rolled to the ground and would not move.
Only then did she see clearly that the female corpse was in disheveled clothes and seemed to be a young girl. She was wearing a uniform with the school emblem of "Baohai Middle School" printed on the chest.
Hamaka's scream finally broke the dead silence in the health room, and Shimazaki and Abe also screamed at the same time.
The students cannot understand the current situation at all.
At this moment, footsteps came from the corridor outside the health care room——
Snap, snap.
Snap, snap!
The footsteps became more and more rapid, as if someone was running quickly.
boom!
The ajar door to the health room was opened from the outside, and a completely unfamiliar figure was revealed at the door.
That was a man that none of the students had ever seen before.
He is tall and has an ordinary appearance, but that ordinary face is now distorted with anger, and the exaggerated facial expression makes his facial skin wrinkle, like scorched earth burned by anger.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
The man was cursing and waving a hatchet with a cold light in his hand.
"You little brats! Damn it, damn it! Why do you come here? Why do you come here! Obviously no one will come here! You are looking for death, you are looking for death! Kill you, kill you!"
The man with the knife rushed over madly.
Among the students, Shimazaki and Abe reacted almost at the same time. Abe picked up a chair with a broken leg on the ground and threw it at the man. President Shimazaki threw his Sony camera at the man.
.
"Run! From the window!"
Bang!
The rotten wooden windows were so fragile that they would be broken open upon impact.
The two boys fell into the open space outside, regardless of the fragments of glass stuck in their bodies. Their survival instinct made them run away.
Immediately afterwards, it was Hamaka who pulled Bando out of the window.
Bando didn't know whether he was frightened or something. He was standing in the corner of the health room just now, his face still expressionless. If Hamaka hadn't pulled him, he seemed to have no time to run out.
"Kill you! Kill you!"
Behind the students who were running for their lives in a hurry, the angry roar of a man sounded like a beast.
He came after him.
…
"Abu! Abe!"
"Run! Shimazaki, that ghost is chasing me!"
"No, no, that's not a ghost, that's a person. And he's not behind us."
Shimazaki was panting, his cheek was cut open by broken glass, and he was bleeding.
Abe in front finally slowed down: "Hamanaka...and Bando?"
"It ran away. Cell phone, my cell phone ran away, where is yours?"
Anbe touched his pocket: "Yes, still there!"
"Call the police, call the police quickly!"
President Shimazaki still doesn’t understand why——
There is no ghost in the abandoned old building of Beishan Middle School, but a perverted murderer.
A few of them accidentally broke into the scene where the corpse was hidden.
…
"Huh-huh-"
Hamaka pulled Bando together and ran hard.
They ran away from two other companions and entered the teaching building in a panic.
And the man with the knife was still chasing after him.
Panting, footsteps, and crazy roars echoed in the empty corridor.
Hamaka gradually became exhausted. If she was chasing a strong adult man, she would definitely not be her opponent.
The tall knife-wielding figure behind him got closer and closer, and when the distance was only a few meters away, the man pounced forward and slammed into the two students in front of him.
The three of them fell to the ground at the same time, and the man holding the knife got up first.
"Go to hell! Go to hell!"
The gleaming hatchet approached.
"Don't come here...please, don't..."
Hamaka, who was on the ground, barely held up her body and backed away using her hands and feet. The shining knife was right in front of her, and she could even see her own frightened face in the reflection of the blade.
My body hurts so much.
Can't run away...
"You shouldn't have come here. If you want to blame it, you have yourselves to blame!"
Facing the girl's prayers, the man showed no mercy at all. He would kill Hamaka just like he killed the last girl.
Just before the man was about to swing the knife, he saw the uniformed male student on the ground suddenly stand up.
The boy originally fell to the ground.
At this moment, he stood up quickly with an extremely weird, twisted joint movement that violated the human body structure.
Along with the weird movements, his body made a strange "crunching" sound.
Bando just stopped in front of Hamaka and the assailant, his face still expressionless, like a lifeless thing.
"Only one left."
As he said this, he bent down and picked up the notebook that belonged to Hamanaka from the ground.
"Are you pretending to be a ghost? You kid?"
The man glared at Bando, but for some reason, facing this underage and ordinary-looking student, he suddenly felt unreasonable fear.
"There's only one left." Bando ignored the man and kept talking to himself, flipping through the notebook in his hand. "They and I are exploring the incredible things here, and there's only one left. If you don't show up, everything will happen."
very smooth."
"Go to hell!"
The man yelled, suppressing his unfounded panic, and swung his knife fiercely.
No matter what this kid is doing, people will die if they are killed.
Boom!
The bright hatchet struck Bando's neck.
"ah--!"
Behind him, Hamaka screamed in despair.
But then, what Hamaka feared and what the man with the knife hoped to see did not happen.
It was clear that Bando was stabbed in his vitals, but he only shook stiffly twice and remained upright, with no blood even flowing out of his neck.
The perpetrator finally felt something was wrong.
The feeling of cutting this boy was very strange. The blade didn't feel like it was cutting into elastic flesh, but rather like it was stuck in wood or plastic.
"This is the only thing missing."
As if he was not the one who was struck by the knife, Bando calmly raised the notebook in front of the assailant.
There was still no expression on his face, but it was stiffer than before, completely devoid of the vitality that a living creature should have, and his entire face was like a thick mask.
The notebook in Bando's hand turned to the page about the strange stories about the health room, and it stopped at "moving mannequin."
He raised his right hand stiffly and pointed at Hamaka's notes above——
[According to folklore, human-shaped objects can easily attract ghosts to possess them.]
