Surviving in a School of Ghost Stories-Chapter 65

I checked the time in front of the music room. 11:57 PM. There were just three minutes left until midnight.

With three minutes remaining, I checked the things I had asked Leonard and the other students to do, and then looked at the floor.

Splash. Splash.

There was water pooling on the floor.

After staring at the floor for a moment, I made up my mind and opened the music room door.

But it wasn’t the music room.

The room was filled with people, all of them standing silently with white cloths draped over their heads.

They were standing motionless, making the sight incredibly eerie.

When I entered, all the students who had been with me had disappeared.

When I came to my senses, I noticed that the number of people in the room had increased.

Some of them were humans, but others were not.

I checked my pocket watch again. It was already 11:59 PM.

The floor of the music room now looked like it was flooded, with water lapping up.

I checked the flashlight in my pocket, and then I hid among the people, both human and inhuman, under the cloths.

By then, midnight had arrived.

Dong—

Dong—

Dong—

The sound of a grandfather clock chimed from somewhere.

Boom!

And then, as if it had been waiting for the right moment, a vibration, like the shaking of the earth, reverberated. It sounded like the footsteps of something gigantic.

The "things" around me, even the non-human ones, began to tremble in fear.

Just a moment ago, the evil spirits that had been desperate to kill me were now holding their breath, hiding in fear.

I was of no concern to them.

The reason the evil spirits were standing there with cloths over their heads wasn’t to mock us, but to hide their presence.

Goooooo-

A massive, resonating sound echoed throughout the space.

It felt like a heavy pressure was bearing down on my whole body. The overwhelming fear was like being swallowed whole by something enormous.

Boom!

The footsteps were now coming from right in front of the music room.

Beyond the white cloth, I could only see the silhouette, but I noticed a huge blue eye staring at the entrance to the music room.

What was watching the room was undoubtedly a huge blue eye, no, it was a massive red eye that had started to turn crimson.

The blue eye was frightening, but not threatening. But the one with the red eye sent a chilling fear down my spine.

Terror made my lower lip tremble, but I forced myself to close my eyes tightly, trying to calm myself.

Then, slowly, I looked down at the water pooled on the floor.

The water on the floor reflected my face like a mirror.

Seeing that, I pulled the white cloth off.

As expected, the music room door was open, and a massive red eye filled the doorframe.

It turned its spinning pupil and stared at me.

I took a mouthful of holy water, stepped forward, and pulled out my cross necklace and flashlight.

Shining the flashlight at the ceiling, the shadow of the cross loomed large on the ceiling.

The shadow of the cross cast on the ceiling reflected in the water on the floor, filling the entire music room.

Then, I sprinkled the holy water from my mouth onto the cross.

Goooooo-!

A bizarre sound echoed throughout the music room, and the white cloths that had been draped over the people and non-humans began to fall, one by one.

Then the faces of the students from Teams 1 through 4 and Leonard were revealed.

Perhaps because of the cross, the massive red eye couldn’t do anything and was unable to enter the music room.

Meow.

Then, out of nowhere, a cat’s meow sounded. Kkamang, who had disappeared, suddenly leapt out of the water on the floor.

Kkamang’s eyes were blue. It was Senior Noah.

[Melody, over here.]

At the same time, countless hands reached out from the floor.

“Ahhh!”

The students from Teams 1 through 4 looked startled by the sight, but I knew.

The hands reaching out were hands of salvation.

“Grab my hand! Hurry!”

I shouted to the students. They had to move while the evil spirits were immobilized.

Because, with time, “those things” and the massive red eye could find a way to move.

I grabbed Christine’s hand, who I had become relatively close with. Then, I handed her the hand that had emerged from the water on the floor.

“Eh? Eh...!”

Christine was being pulled into the floor.

“We have to go back! Hurry this way!”

At the sound of my voice, the students, startled, hesitated, but then,

“There’s no time! Quickly!”

I shouted urgently, and everyone rushed over and grabbed the hands that reached out from the ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ water on the floor.

“Melody, what about you?”

When there were only two students left, Leonard asked me.

I briefly glanced at the remaining students and then looked at the "things" still suffering from the cross.

Fortunately, the evil spirits and the massive red eye seemed to have no interest in the remaining survivors. They were only focused on me.

“I think it’s better if I’m the last one to leave.”

“Alright. Then let’s leave together in the end.”

Leonard, with a determined look on his face, took the flashlight from my hand and illuminated the cross with it.

Since I was holding the cross and Leonard was shining the flashlight, we had to move together as he said.

“You’re in danger too. If there needs to be a sacrifice, I said I’d take it.”

“Who told you to sacrifice yourself?”

“Huh?”
