Chapter 581 Things in the Old School Building

"Hey, Abe! What are you doing?"

"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."

Under 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? 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 has no expression. That poker face would usually be boring to look at, but now seeing that unchanging expression makes him feel 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.

The convergence of ideas and groups will reduce the burden and make you feel safe.

Therefore, the sound of footsteps was very subtle to begin with, and Abe 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. The sight can only see 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 above, in the shadow of the dark and decaying steps?"

Anbe suddenly thought this, and then he was startled by his own thoughts.

He had no intention of expressing this sudden thought.

Otherwise, given Shimazaki's personality, he would probably propose to go upstairs and take a look together.

"Abe, let's go."

The companion below started to greet Anbe again.

He no longer thought about it 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 formed by the handrail above the corridor.

"Well……"

After about ten seconds, Bando snorted with unknown meaning.

The afternoon sun shines through the corridor into the corridor, and 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 student.

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——

Snap. Snap.

…

Four students walked through the abandoned campus in groups.

As Hamanaka flipped through his notebook, he 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 medical mannequins.

That kind of model is about the same size as a human being, 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, with exposed muscles and bones, and various organ models visible on the abdomen.

Of course, the model itself is made of plastic. It is a teaching tool to assist biology classes, and 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 twisted, and it took a lot of effort to put her into the coffin.

Students at Kitayama Middle School believe the woman's ghost still lingers within the walls. It is said that as long as someone dares to open the locker in the health room at midnight, this woman will appear, stretch out her crooked neck and wrists, and demand people's lives.

The four students talked and came to the door of the health room.

The wooden door was pushed open, and the room, which was cluttered with various sundries and garbage, was filled with mold and rot.

"It stinks here."

Shimazaki covered his nose and took a few photos with his camera.

After looking around, he did not find a medical human model in the health room.

"What? There is not even such a model here."

If there is no human model, then the old school building is incredible and can be declared self-destructive.

However, the students saw a rusty iron locker in the corner.

It looks a bit old. Judging from the style, it may be a locker used by the school doctor to hang white coats and other clothes.

With its decayed appearance, it is still a question whether it can be opened.

"So this is the last one, right? About the woman in the locker."

"Yeah, it seems that there is only such a locker in the entire health room."

"I'll do it, I'll open it."

The last incredible punch-in exploration was the turn of the girl Binzhong.

She walked to the metal cabinet by the wall and glanced at President Shimazaki.

The latter had already raised his camera and was ready to shoot.

"Okay, then..." Hamanaka pulled the cabinet door.

She didn't have any psychological burden, after all, nothing happened during the exploration this afternoon.

Click——

The hinge of the cabinet door turned.

It was easier to open than expected.

Moreover, in the process of opening the door, Hamanaka felt a strange touch.

It was as if something on the other side of the metal cabinet door was shaking because of her opening the door.

Before she could think about it, the cabinet was completely opened by her.

At this moment, Hamanaka's pupils instinctively dilated a little.

She saw a black shadow coming towards her.

Bang!

An unknown object hit Hamanaka and pressed her to the ground.

After the sound of the heavy object falling to the ground, the whole health room fell into a deathly silence.

Abe and Shimazaki on the side were all stunned, and Shimazaki even forgot that he should press the shutter.

Their minds were blank.

The person involved, Binzhong, reacted half a beat slower than her companions. Suddenly, she was knocked to the ground by something, leaving her no time to react.

She screamed in pain while trying to push away the weight on her body.

But when she raised her hand, she felt cloth and a cold and stiff touch, along with a slightly rotten smell of meat.

Binzhong moved her neck and looked at the chest that was pressed down.

In her sight, there was black, messy, tangled long hair. And under the black hair, a pair of wide-open, bloodshot, and cloudy eyes.

What hit her was a woman.

A woman's body.

The woman in the closet?

There is really a woman in the closet! ?

"Ah——!"

Binzhong screamed and pushed the woman away.

The heavy weight rolled to the ground and did not move.

Only then did she see clearly that the female corpse was in disarray and seemed to be a girl, wearing a uniform with the school emblem of "Bao Hai Middle School" printed on the chest of the uniform.

Hamanaka's scream finally broke the dead silence in the health room, and Shimazaki and Abe also screamed at the same time.

The students could not understand the current situation at all.

And at this moment, footsteps were heard from the corridor outside the health room -

Click, click.

Click, click!

The footsteps became more and more rapid, as if someone was running quickly.

Bang!

The half-closed door of the health room was broken open from the outside, and a completely unfamiliar figure appeared at the door.

It was a man that the students had never seen before.

He was tall and had an ordinary appearance, but that ordinary face was twisted with anger at this moment, and the exaggerated facial expression made his facial skin wrinkled, like scorched earth burned by anger.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

The man cursed and waved a hatchet with a cold light in his hand.

"You little brats! Damn it, damn it! Why did you come here? Why did you come here! Obviously no one would come here! You are looking for death, you are looking for death! Kill you, kill you!"

The man with the knife rushed over frantically.

Simazaki and Abe, two students, reacted almost at the same time. Abe picked up a chair with a broken leg on the ground and smashed it at the man, while President Shimazaki threw his Sony camera at the man.

"Run! Through the window!"

Bang!

The rotten wooden window was fragile and broke at the impact.

The two boys fell on the open space outside, regardless of the glass fragments on their bodies, and their instinct for survival made them run.

Then, it was Hamanaka who pulled Bando out of the window.

I don't know if Bando was scared or what, just now he stood in the corner of the health room, still expressionless, if it wasn't for Hamanaka pulling him, he seemed to have no time to run out.

"Kill you! Kill you!"

Behind the students who were fleeing in panic, a man roared like an angry beast.

He was chasing us.

...

"Abe! Abe!"

"Run! Shimazaki, that ghost is chasing us!"

"No, no, it's not a ghost, it's a person. And he's not behind us."

Shimazaki was panting, his cheek was cut by broken glass, and blood was flowing.

Abe in front finally slowed down: "Hamanaka... and Bando?"

"We got separated. My phone is lost, where's yours?"

Abe touched his pocket: "Here, it's still there!"

"Call the police, hurry up and call the police!"

President Shimazaki couldn't understand at this moment-

There are no ghosts in the abandoned old school building of Kitayama Middle School, but there is a perverted murderer.

They accidentally broke into the scene of the hidden body.

...

"Hu-hu-"

Hamanaka pulled Bando and ran hard together.

They got separated from the other two companions and entered the teaching building in a panic.

And the man with a knife was still chasing them.

The panting, footsteps, and crazy roars echoed in the empty corridor.

Hamanaka gradually became exhausted. She would never be a match for a strong adult man.

The tall figure with a knife behind him was getting closer and closer. When the distance was only a few meters, the man pounced on him and hit the two students in front of him hard.

The three fell to the ground at the same time, and the man with the knife got up first.

"Go to hell! Go to hell!"

The hatchet with a cold glow approached.

"Don't come over... Please, don't..."

On the ground, Hamayama barely supported her body and retreated with her hands and feet. The bright knife was right in front of her, and she could even see her terrified face in the reflection of the blade.

Her body hurts so much.

I can't run away...

"You shouldn't have come here, blame yourselves!"

Facing the girl's plea, the man's face had no mercy. He would kill Hamayama 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 had originally fallen to the ground.

At this moment, he stood up quickly with an extremely weird twisted joint that violated the human body structure.

Along with the weird movement, a strange "crunching" sound came from his body.

Bando blocked Hamayama and the assailant like this, with no expression on his face, like a dead object without life.

"Only one is missing."

As he said this, he bent down and picked up the notebook belonging to Hamayama on the ground.

"Are you playing tricks, kid?"

The man glared at Bando, but for some reason, facing this underage, seemingly ordinary student, he suddenly felt an unreasonable fear.

"Only one is missing." Bando ignored the man, talking to himself, flipping the notebook in his hand, "They and I are exploring the wonders here, and we are missing one. If you don't show up, everything will go smoothly."

"Go to hell!"

The man roared, suppressed the unreasonable panic, and swung the knife fiercely.

No matter what this kid is doing, people will die if they are killed.

Boom!

The bright hatchet chopped Bando's neck.

"Ah——!"

Hamayama behind him screamed in despair.

But then, the scene that Hamayama feared and the knife-wielding man hoped to see did not happen.

Although he was stabbed in the vitals, Bando just shook stiffly twice, still standing straight, and there was not even blood flowing from his neck.

The assailant finally felt something was wrong.

The feeling of slashing the boy was very strange. The blade did not seem to cut into elastic flesh, but rather stuck into wood or plastic.

"Only this one."

As if the person slashed by the knife was not himself, Bando raised the notebook nonchalantly and held it in front of the assailant.

There was still no expression on his face, but it was more stiff than before, and there was no vitality that a living thing should have. The whole face was like a heavy mask.

The notebook in Bando's hand turned to the page about the strange story of the health room, and stopped at the "moving human model".

He raised his right hand stiffly and pointed to the notes on it by Hamanaka——

[According to folk sayings, human-shaped objects are easy to attract ghosts. ]
