Surviving in a School of Ghost Stories-Chapter 61

Diana tilted her head and asked them back.

“You’re not mistaken? Where is the 10th floor underground in Johannes Castle?”

“It’s written in the safety rules.”

One of the students from Team 5 mentioned the manual.

Diana took out the manual again with a puzzled look and read it.

Just as the student from Team 5 said, the manual talked about the 10th floor underground.

5. If you reach the 10th floor underground, you need to find a way to quickly light up the surroundings. The lantern you brought is useless. Light it before they find you first. Good luck.

Diana was confused.

Weren’t all the things written in the manual made up to ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) scare the students and create an atmosphere for the test of courage?

‘Come to think of it, there was a strange experience last year too.’

But everyone didn’t think much of it.

It was so strange, how could everyone have taken it lightly?

Also, why did everyone suddenly start to realize that it was strange this year when they had clearly taken it lightly last year?

“S, senior. What should we do? There are 7 teams waiting.......”

The male student who was the representative of Class F, the 1st year, asked Diana, who was in such a state of worry.

Leonard, the representative of Class F, the 3rd year and 2nd year, were assigned to Team 2 and Team 6, respectively, and were away.

Since the 1st year representative didn’t know anything, the decision was up to Diana alone.

‘Come to think of it, the student council president said something strange this morning... ... .’

Diana had a hard time dealing with Noah Eugene Eglinton, who was one year younger than her.

He was perfect in every way, but on the other hand, she couldn’t tell what he was thinking, so it was very uncomfortable dealing with him, even though he was her junior.

So she usually avoided talking to him, but this morning, for some reason, Noah came first and left her with something meaningful.

“Senior, if something strange happens during the F-class courage test today, look in the mirror first. The beginning and the end are mirrors.”

Until then, she didn’t even know what he meant. She thought he was talking nonsense.

Diana saw mirrors filling three sides of the banquet hall.

“Lastly, please save Melody Hastings. That’s the way to save everyone.”

Did he know something was going to happen during the courage test today?

If so, isn’t there a way to prevent the courage test from being canceled no matter what?

Diana shook her head as she thought about that.

Even if it wasn’t today, the courage test event would have been held.

The courage test was a tradition of F-class and was the most popular event for the F-class students.

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about, but if you’re worried about the transfer students, why don’t you come yourself?”

“I want to help them directly, but there are a lot of restrictions on me, so that’s a bit difficult.”

It was hard to understand half of what Noah was saying.

But anyway, thanks to what he had said, Diana had a rough idea of ​​what she had to do now.

She made a decision.

“Everyone, wait for now. If we proceed now, the path will be tangled. We’ll do the courage test again when the previous teams return.”

Then Diana quietly whispered to the male student representing Class F, the first-year student.

“Let’s form a search team.”

The last memory was losing consciousness in pain as ‘those things’ devoured my body.

My consciousness came back, but my vision was still dark.

As my vision somewhat adjusted to the darkness, I began to vaguely see the place where I had opened my eyes.

I don’t know exactly where, but it felt like a deep cave. The surroundings were so quiet, and although I couldn’t see anything, it was dark, damp, and humid, and it felt eerie.

Tick, tick.

At that moment, I heard the sound of the second hand of the clock moving. I turned my head in the direction of the sound and saw a table clock on the uneven stone floor.

‘Why is there a clock in a place like this... ... .’

There were upside-down cross-shaped decorations on both ends of the table clock.

It was a little creepy. An upside-down cross.

The time the second hand of the clock pointed to was 12 o’clock. I couldn’t tell if it was noon or midnight.

It was around 10:30 when Leonard and my team left the banquet.

If that clock was pointing to midnight, it meant that not much time had passed yet.

I looked at my body that had been bitten and eaten by them.

It was dark so I couldn’t see well, but fortunately my body was fine.

I got up from my seat and looked for an exit. If I was in here, there must be a way out.

‘... ... Huh? What is this?’

While looking around to find an exit, I found something strange in the corner.

There was something huge covered by a sheet.

I was conflicted between the feeling that I shouldn’t look and the feeling that I absolutely had to look.

I looked around again. There was still no one here. But why do I keep feeling like someone is spying on me?

I felt eyes on me from somewhere. I don’t know where. My back felt eerie and the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end.

I looked left, right, behind, and in front again, but there was nothing. My vision was still dark.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

There were no windows.

This wasn’t a classroom, and it didn’t feel like a warehouse or any room.

I swallowed dry saliva and wiped the sweat on my palms with my uniform, then grabbed the sheet.

When I finally pulled the cloth away, I didn’t really recognize what was hidden by the cloth at first.

When I looked closely, there was a very large birdcage under the cloth.

‘Why is the birdcage here...?’

Through my dark vision, I could see something inside the cage. It was a person.

The man was crouching on the floor of the cage like a newborn deer.

His entire body was covered in a thick, mucus-like membrane.

And as soon as I recognized the man inside the cage, I heard a huge heartbeat from somewhere.

Thump-

Thump-

It didn’t come from somewhere. It was the heartbeat of the man inside the cage.

“Excuse me.”

I called out to the man.

Of course, the man didn’t move at all. Could he hear me?

I wondered how he could breathe when he was wrapped in a thin membrane.

Thump-

Thump-

This abnormally loud heartbeat was definitely the man’s.

Then suddenly I realized.

“......Senior Noah?”

It was only then that I realized that the man’s face resembled a face I knew.

It was dark so I couldn’t see clearly, but no matter how dark it was, I couldn’t help but recognize Senior Noah’s face.

“Senior, why are you here? Come to your senses!”

I grabbed the cage and shook it, shouting.

However, Senior Noah, who was crouching, didn’t move at all. He couldn’t even open his eyes.

I was so confused. Was this a dream? Why on earth was the chairman there?

However, I didn’t have time to think long. I hurriedly looked for the cage door and key.

I had to open the cage and get Senior Noah out quickly... ...!

There was no door to the cage. I reached through the bars. The curtain covering Senior Noah touched my hand. It was so slippery that I couldn’t even hold it with one hand.

‘I have to open the cage!’

Or break it. But there didn’t seem to be any tools to break the cage. Opening the cage with bare hands seemed impossible.

What should I do?
