Chapter 1, Death Arrives

"Please wait a moment, what exactly is going on? Can you tell me about it?" the girl asked timidly

At this moment, the woman had already arrived behind me, letting out a sinister laugh as her arm pierced through me.

The footsteps are approaching, getting closer and closer, my heart is racing, and I feel completely drained of strength

"Even if you do not want to go in, you have no choice but to enter. Your back will hurt more and more, and eventually, you will die," said the bespectacled man

The girl was not so fortunate anymore, her gaze filled with terror as she looked ahead. A grotesque face with a crooked neck became increasingly clear.

Since everyone is here, let us go in now said the boy as he scanned the room with his gaze

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, my heartbeat quickens, and fear gradually envelops me.

I sat on the ground, panting, looking at her with a gaze full of relief

Just as I returned to school, my phone suddenly rang. Looking at the message on my phone, I sighed, my heart filled with regret

I breathed a sigh of relief, yet I did not dare to be careless

This is a woman with her head tilted, standing only on the tips of her toes. She is dressed in a pure white school uniform, her head resting on her neck, twisted at a ninety-degree angle. In her palm, she grips a cold dagger.

She glared at me menacingly, her arms striking the air repeatedly, yet she was unable to advance a single step

"You only need to know that we need to hide for three hours, and we will survive," said the athlete as he looked at her

Behind the school lies a deserted building, an eerie place that remains unvisited even during the day

The woman in the school uniform cast a resentful glance at me before turning and leaving

After we arrived here, the door behind us closed automatically

A woman wanders through this abandoned teaching building, searching for traces of her prey

"Who are you?" the girl said, her lips trembling

I know, the time to escape has come

As she walked slowly, her gaze wandered around, I lowered my head and held my breath, moving with great caution

I had no time to think further and my body lunged forward. My figure clumsily burst through the back door and fell to the ground

I do not know where it came from, why it appears here. I do not understand why it has become this way, but I have witnessed its power, which is beyond what a human can contend with

Without having time to think much, I rushed towards the back door and then lunged forward.

I am running frantically, with no time to pay attention to the things around me

I hid in the abandoned classroom building on the second floor, closed the door, and looked out the window with a fearful gaze, my eyes extremely cautious

I sighed, walked out of the bathroom with a pale face, and then came to the back of the school

A sudden sharp pain surged through my back, and I jolted awake, gasping for breath while leaning on the desk. My deskmate looked at me in surprise, but I had no time to think further and turned to rush out of the classroom

Upon arriving at the entrance of the abandoned classroom building, we walked inside. As we entered, the pain in my back gradually faded away like a receding tide, while only the girl remained vigilant, watching us: "Can I not go in?"

What on earth is going on? the young girl asked cautiously

I do not know how long it has been, but I suddenly opened my eyes, and my back began to hurt without any warning

Although my whole body trembled, I covered my mouth and stood still in the room, not daring to say a word

The girl just walked in, her gaze filled with fear

The athlete, seemingly unconcerned, said: "Hurry up and get in, my back is about to die from the pain."

"It's over, she is dead." I shook my head, sitting on the ground in fear, my face filled with terror

I cast a silent glance at them, my gaze wandering around the surroundings

I know that I am safe now, and she is unable to leave the abandoned teaching building under any circumstances. This is an unchangeable rule

It is absolutely impossible to deal with them; they cannot be defeated

In an abandoned room, the athlete gazed warily at the window, ready to jump at any moment

After running for a full ten minutes, even an athlete could no longer endure it. He turned his gaze towards the woman in the school uniform behind him and shouted, "If you have the ability, come and kill me, but I want to know what the truth is!"

The only way to survive is to find a way to avoid her

"What are you following me for?" the athlete said impatiently

I lay in the corner, disguising myself as clutter. At that moment, the footsteps grew closer and closer.

The abandoned teaching building, with its dim environment, still exudes a hint of terror even during the day

Her chest was pierced by a dagger, and immediately afterward, her heart was extracted. Blood flowed onto the ground, creating an extremely brutal scene

They are all students, two boys and one girl. One of the boys wears glasses, while the other is strong and clearly an athlete. The girl is petite and cute, looking at me with a curious gaze

She moved through the entire abandoned teaching building like a ghost

Although the girl was very disdainful of the rag covered in dust, she still covered herself with it

After a considerable amount of time, everyone had hidden away, and the entire abandoned teaching building was enveloped in silence. At that moment, my pupils slightly contracted, and I hurriedly lowered my head, as a figure slowly emerged from beyond my line of sight

When I arrived here through the back door, three people had already come here

Her speed was truly astonishing; she was originally far away, but in the blink of an eye, she was only a few meters away from me

Soon, a woman dressed in white slowly walked in. She tilted her head and looked around, and through the dim fabric strips, I caught a glimpse of her face

The wind brushed against my face, and at that moment, I suddenly heard footsteps behind me. I turned my head to look, and was instantly terrified, as the woman with the crooked neck was already chasing after me.

The girl felt an overwhelming sense of terror, as if her heart was racing to the point of suffocation. But at that moment, a bug suddenly crawled onto her. The girl let out a piercing scream and threw away the tattered cloth that was covering her.

I hid on the second floor, my gaze constantly scanning the surroundings, searching for an escape plan

I hope you can protect me the girl said

"Help, someone save me!" The girl cried out desperately, but the woman's gaze turned towards her, filled with greed and brutality

"It's over." The athlete, not having time to think much, hurriedly jumped out of the window. He fell all the way to the ground. But he did not care, scrambling and crawling away.

The sound of footsteps is approaching, getting closer and closer. I crouch on the ground, my entire body covered with a dust-laden cloth

My pupils slightly constricted, and I was rendered speechless. I tightly covered my mouth, and even though my face turned ashen, I was unwilling to make a sound.

A pale hand reached out towards the tattered cloth on my body, but suddenly stopped. The woman turned around and chose to leave

You will know once you go in said the bespectacled man indifferently

The pale figure slowly walked past at that moment. This figure walked with a limp, as if she could fall at any moment. However, when she entered the room, the young girl finally realized what she was truly facing

Upon arriving at the school restroom, I pulled off my top, and a distinct black claw mark appeared on my back

The woman's arm was just an inch away from me, yet she stopped, as if there were an invisible wall of air in front of her

The athlete is caught in the most perilous escape of his life. Behind him, the girl in the school uniform tilts her head, walking with a smile. Although she appears to be moving slowly, no matter how hard the athlete runs, he cannot increase the distance by even a step.

At this moment, footsteps sounded once again, and the athlete picked up a rag to cover himself.

I continue to hide in the room, silently watching the clock

We can only find a way to hide, and as long as we persist for a period of time, we will be able to survive

I sat slumped on the ground for a long time before finally standing up and turning to leave

I did not lock the door from the inside, because I knew that with her strength, no door could stop her. Therefore, I left the door open to avoid raising her suspicions

I do not dare to move even slightly, even as she draws closer to me

Because I am aware that at such a close distance, nothing I do will be of any use

At this time, the woman wandered throughout the entire school, searching for each individual

It was a face of a dead person, filled with coldness and silence. The eyes had no sclera, only pitch-black pupils, resembling two black holes.

A woman approached me, extending her hand as if to lift the tattered cloth covering me. At that moment, my heart was filled with despair, yet I remained silent, biting my lower lip, refusing to move an inch

Indeed, the woman turned back to glance at me again, and I did not let my guard down in the slightest, my whole being resembling a statue. It was only when the sound of her footsteps descending the stairs echoed that I finally let out a slight sigh of relief

At that moment, the woman with her head tilted suddenly let out a fierce laugh, grasped her by the neck, and lifted her up

She slowly walked past the teaching building, and soon the sound of footsteps was heard as she went upstairs

Her scream before dying echoed throughout the entire teaching building

Why, what exactly did I do wrong? I do not want to die

What should we do next? The girl looked at us with a blank expression.

I hold only one belief in my heart, which is to survive

Without having much time to think, I quietly walked down the stairs and headed towards the back door of the school

I also rushed into the teaching building, while another athlete turned and left. Only the girl stood there all alone; it was then that she felt afraid and hurried after the athlete.

The girl in the school uniform glanced at him, and with a sudden wave of her hand, his head fell off just like that. The woman did not even spare him a glance, allowing the bloodstains on her body as she walked through the abandoned classroom building

Hiding in the room, I sighed softly with a distant gaze. Trembling all over, I gritted my teeth and silently endured.

Are you still coming?

"Find a way to hide, and then survive," said the bespectacled man before turning and leaving.

At that moment, the door was quietly opened

The girl kept screaming and pleading. However, at that moment, no one came to her rescue

Anyone who encounters her faces only one outcome, which is a dead end

I nodded and also followed them inside

If I had not entered back then, I would not have become what I am today

"Then just stay close to me, and remember not to make a sound; it is about to arrive." At this point, the athlete's eyes revealed a fear that had never been seen before
