Horror Chapter
Jiang Liu looked at Lin Feng standing beside him, unsure of how to answer Wang Chao's question.
He didn't understand why he felt so compelled to find Lin Feng. After thinking for a moment, he realized it might be because Lin Feng had left a deep impression on him when he sensed something was off in Classroom 000. In his mind, he believed that in such a situation, Lin Feng might have some significance.
However, if he told Wang Chao this, Wang Chao would surely not believe such an absurd reason. So he decided to change the subject and asked Lin Feng, "What happened after you left us? And what did you mean by what you said earlier in the room?"
At that moment, Lin Feng was still immersed in their previous conversation. Without thinking, he replied, "I don't know what happened. At that time, my mind was filled with the terrifying scene in the classroom. I just wanted to get out of there. By the time I came to my senses, I found myself back in the dormitory."
"What about later? How did you get back to your dorm?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng's expression turned extremely terrified, as if recalling some horrifying image. He opened his mouth, his voice trembling with fear: "Blood, so much blood, everywhere blood, and many dead people!"
Blood? Dead people? Did we see any of that after entering the dormitory?
Jiang Liu thought to himself and immediately pressed on, "Where did you see this?"
"On the first floor."
Hearing Lin Feng's response, Jiang Liu turned to Wang Chao with a puzzled look and asked, "Did we see blood and dead people on the first floor?"
Wang Chao shook his head. "No, it was too dark on the first floor; everything was a bit blurry. But if there really were a lot of blood and dead bodies, we wouldn't have missed it."
Jiang Liu thought about it and continued to ask Lin Feng, "What happened next?"
"Later, later," Lin Feng stammered. "Later, I met someone. That person told me that the classmates had gone crazy and started killing each other, that everyone else was nonexistent to that person. He was very scared, so he ran back to the dormitory."
"One person?"
Jiang Liu tensed up at once. He recalled the figure of the Blood Man they encountered in the teaching building at the beginning, and he understood why he felt a sense of familiarity when he saw that Blood Man.
If he guessed correctly, that Blood Man who wanted to kill them should be one of their classmates. The two different ways of dying they had seen in the classroom earlier now also had an answer in his mind.
In fact, from the moment he and Wang Chao discovered the two different ways of dying in the classroom, this answer had already appeared in their hearts; they just didn't want to admit it. Now, hearing the answer from Lin Feng's mouth, both of their hearts sank into despair.
Things were ultimately unfolding in the direction they least wanted.
After a while, Wang Chao approached, frowning as he asked, "That person? Do you know who that person is?"
Lin Feng shook his head to indicate he didn’t know. Wang Chao persisted, "Do you remember what that person looked like?"
Lin Feng clutched his head in pain. "I don’t know; I can’t remember."
Wang Chao clearly ignored Lin Feng's pained expression and continued to press him. "Think hard! In such a short time, you can't possibly forget what that person looked like."
Originally, Jiang Liu intended to stop Wang Chao from pressing further, but upon hearing this statement, he suddenly realized something.
Indeed, during the short time from when Lin Feng ran back to the dormitory until Jiang Liu found him again, it was impossible for him to forget someone he had seen just moments ago—unless that person wasn’t a real person at all.
Thus, he restrained his impulse and silently watched as Wang Chao continued to question Lin Feng about what that person looked like.
Lin Feng crouched on the ground, clutching his head in pain and screaming loudly. His voice echoed through the dark corridor.
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Jiang Liu gestured for Wang Chao to stop.
"Stop for a moment. If you keep asking like this, Lin Feng is going to lose his mind."
"What else can we do? The person Lin Feng encountered is clearly an important clue, and they might even be the person who doesn't exist!" Wang Chao replied urgently.
Seeing Wang Chao's fierce demeanor, Jiang Liu doubted that if Lin Feng couldn't remember what that person looked like, Wang Chao might resort to some drastic measures.
"I understand, but if you keep pressing him like this, we might lose this crucial lead," Jiang Liu sighed. "Step aside for now; let me try."
Wang Chao looked at Lin Feng's pained expression and realized that Jiang Liu had a point. He muttered a curse under his breath and stood up to give Jiang Liu some space.
"I really don't know; I can't remember anymore. Please stop asking me," Lin Feng mumbled.
Jiang Liu crouched down, looking at Lin Feng, whose voice was clearly hoarse. He spoke gently, "It's me, Jiang Liu."
"Please don't ask me anymore; I really can't recall," Lin Feng's tone was tinged with a hint of tears, clearly overwhelmed by Wang Chao's earlier questioning.
"Alright, I won't ask you again," Jiang Liu continued in a soothing voice. "Just take a moment to calm down and breathe deeply."
Although Lin Feng was on the verge of breaking down, he followed Jiang Liu's advice and gradually began to calm down, no longer screaming as he had before.
Seeing that Lin Feng's emotions were stabilizing, Jiang Liu then asked, "Now, I'm not asking you to remember what that person looked like, but do you know any characteristics about them? For example, were they male or female? Did they have long hair or short hair?"
This question was clearly much better than the one Wang Chao had just asked, and Lin Feng was no longer in as much pain as before.
Lin Feng murmured, "I don't remember. It's too dark around me. Please stop asking."
"Don't rush. Take your time. Just think about whether that person is male or female, long hair or short hair. You don't need to picture their face," Jiang Liu encouraged.
"Male, female... I think it's a female? No, it's a male. Wait, no, it's a female!" Lin Feng stammered.
"Is it a female?" Jiang Liu asked gently from the side.
"Yes, it's a female. Her voice was very gentle."
Recalling the girls in his class, Jiang Liu realized there were many—at least twenty—making it difficult to narrow down the possibilities. He pressed on with another question: "Was her hair long or short?"
Wang Chao, who had been silent until now, noticed that Jiang Liu's method seemed effective. He held back any sound, afraid of disturbing Lin Feng's memories, and eagerly awaited his response.
"It seems... it seems like she has short hair," Lin Feng said uncertainly. Just as he tried to think further, a sharp pain shot through his head again, causing him to scream out once more.
Seeing Lin Feng in distress, Jiang Liu quickly reassured him, "Alright, you don't need to think anymore. We've already gotten an answer; you don't have to force yourself."
Jiang Liu's words were effective. Lin Feng gradually stopped screaming and began to calm down.
