Trần Hậu teased Hồng Mạnh again, poking his back.
But this time, Hồng Mạnh didn't turn around anymore. He just lightly slapped Trần Hậu's hand with his left hand, signaling him not to disturb as he was listening to a play.
"Just help me see what that thing is, it's not like you'll die from it!"
Trần Hậu, who had poor eyesight, complained incessantly in his heart.
This actually happened to most people.
For example, in the evening when people go to sleep, a pile of clothes is randomly placed in the room. After turning off the lights, a quick glance can make it seem like a person is sitting there.
It would bring an inexplicable fear to everyone...
Trần Hậu had encountered many such instances.
So even when he saw shadows, besides leaves and branches, he didn't have many thoughts...
Hồng Mạnh paid no attention.
Trần Hậu couldn't do anything else.
He just turned his head back, ready to stare at the somewhat frightening shadow.
But as soon as he turned his head back.
He immediately saw the shadow.
It really seemed to have come closer...
"No, it's actually moving!"
Trần Hậu remembered that the last time he saw that thing, it was clearly at the entrance of the stairs. Because his previous line of sight wasn't clear, he thought it was an illusion caused by his nearsighted eyes.
But this time, he clearly saw that the shadow had reached the farthest classroom door!
This time, Trần Hậu couldn't hold back anymore.
He reached out and began tugging at Hồng Mạnh's clothes, irritating Hồng Mạnh, who refused to turn around...
"Look at that spot, is there something there?!"
Because they were eavesdropping and didn't want to make too much noise, Trần Hậu could only frantically signal with his own sign language, hoping Hồng Mạnh could understand his intention!
"..."
"What the heck?"
"Is he having a seizure?"
Hồng Mạnh furrowed his brows and silently looked at Trần Hậu, who was continuously gesturing in front of him like a clown.
After a while.
Finally, he understood the other's intention...
So, he looked in the direction indicated by Trần Hậu.
In the dark and silent hallway.
There was almost no difference from before.
Although the corridor was narrow.
But there was nothing else besides cleaning tools...
He truly didn't understand what Trần Hậu wanted him to see.
"Look there, over there!"
"Where... where???"
At this moment, Trần Hậu, who had turned around to look, also fell silent.
In his line of sight in this corridor, the eerie shadow he had seen just now had disappeared without a trace!
It was gone.
Even though he tried to search for the shadow.
There was no trace of it...
Hồng Mạnh felt Trần Hậu was a bit ridiculous, and he didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he continued to press his ear against the door and listen to the silence inside.
"Really strange!"
"It was just there a moment ago?"
Trần Hậu was very confused, scratching his head and looking at the hallway beside him.
But right at this moment.
A woman's upper body suddenly appeared in front of him!
A fierce expression was on the woman's face, and as soon as Trần Hậu turned around, her pale, injured arms gripped his throat tightly!
"Ah..."
Trần Hậu's face turned pale.
The instinctive action of screaming in his throat was forcefully suppressed, and in the end, he could only emit a weak sound.
His entire body felt out of control.
He couldn't even struggle to move!
Hồng Mạnh and Phạm Thiên Ngân heard the faint sound from behind but thought that he was playing some prank again, so they didn't turn around.
Trần Hậu could only helplessly look at the woman strangling him!
But his two companions were indifferent...
Continued... torment and pain.
He felt the force on his neck growing stronger.
He could even feel a powerful tearing sensation.
Finally.
Trần Hậu dimly saw his body fall to the ground.
His head seemed like a ball held in the hands of a woman.
As Trần Hậu's headless body lay lifelessly on the ground, a deep, resonant sound rang out behind Hồng Mạnh...
"This guy! Got discovered!"
"What is he doing?!"
Hearing the choked sound.
Hồng Mạnh couldn't help but have such thoughts in his mind.
When he and Phạm Thiên Ngân suspected and turned around, uncontrollable screams burst out of their mouths!
...
...
Two minutes ago.
Lê Na stood beside the dark brown wooden cabinet, her files in hand, quietly putting them back where she had taken them from.
She looked around the entire room.
Thinking about the place she hadn't checked yet...
Since Hoàng Tuân entered this room with her and searched earlier until now.
They hadn't found anything useful.
The files in the cabinet were mostly normal teaching materials and lesson plans, as well as some other school-related documents.
This left Lê Na feeling frustrated.
Initially, she thought she might find some secret in the principal's office, but after rummaging through the drawers, in the end, she found nothing of value...
"Forget it, it's probably not in the drawers."
Lê Na shook her head.
Preparing to give up searching through the files.
She glanced at Hoàng Tuân, who was still squatting by the door, then walked over to the desk.
The moonlight shone through the window.
The plain cover of a book on the desk looked a bit out of place...
Lê Na picked up the book.
Contrary to her expectations, the book wasn't as heavy as it looked, about 500 pages thick but felt like only 100 grams when held.
"What's this?"
Lê Na suspiciously opened the book in her hands.
At this moment, she was surprised to find that most of the pages in the middle of the book had been hollowed out, leaving a small cavity where small objects could be placed.
This looked very much like the way modern students hide cell phones and sneak them into school.
And inside the hollow of the book.
On the other hand, there was a small black bottle that looked very strange...
"A finger?"
On the small bottle was a peculiar label with just one word on it, which made Lê Na, along with Hoàng Tuân, who was observing everything from a distance, suddenly remember.
In the previous story of Trần Hưng Đạo High School.
There were such small bottles like this in the medical cabinet.
The eerie bugs on Hoàng Tuân's body.
Originated from creatures inside these bottles...
"Let me see."
Hoàng Tuân, who was squatting by the door, was unable to contain his curiosity at this moment. He said to Lê Na, who was holding the small bottle.
Lê Na nodded, walked over to Hoàng Tuân, and handed him the small black bottle.
After Hoàng Tuân took the small black bottle.
First, he rubbed it in his hand for a while.
Then, he turned the bottle cap towards himself, intending to try to open it...
...
"Ah!!!"
At this moment.
Outside the door, a man and a woman suddenly screamed.
This made Hoàng Tuân's movements immediately stop, then he quickly moved away from the wooden door, drew a hatchet from his belt, and stared intently at the door!
Lê Na also instinctively stepped back.
She took out a peculiar gem from her body.
"What's going on?" She asked anxiously.
Hoàng Tuân clenched the hatchet and replied, "The situation is not good."
The next moment.
The two terrified figures pushed open the principal's office door.
Their steps were chaotic as they wanted to rush inside. They were saying things like "Help", "Ghost"...
But they rushed in immediately.
They saw a boy in a student uniform holding a bloodied hatchet with an indifferent expression, the hatchet's blade pointed towards them, his eyes meeting theirs.
As a result, their initial speed suddenly came to a halt.
Due to inertia, both of them fell to the ground!
Hồng Mạnh raised his head.
With a horrified expression, he looked up at Hoàng Tuân, who stood before him...
"Dead, at the door!"
He exclaimed in panic.
"Don't make a scene. I've seen it."
Hoàng Tuân's hatchet wasn't lowered.
After the two fell to the ground, he saw a headless corpse lying in a pool of blood in front of the principal's office door...
And beside the pool of blood.
He could faintly see a woman's upper body clutching her head, staring straight at them!
At present.
Hoàng Tuân's mind was spinning wildly for a moment, then abruptly turned back and swung the hatchet towards the window.
There was the sound of shattering glass.
Without hesitation, he jumped out of the second-story window!
Before leaving, his voice echoed in the ears of the other three...
"If you don't run, do you want to die?"
Hồng Mạnh lay on the ground, feeling like he was in a dream.
He looked at the shattered window that Hoàng Tuân had just jumped out of.
A word escaped his mouth.
"Damn! So resolute?!"
