Horror Chapter
Meanwhile, standing at the entrance of the police station, Jiang Liu and Wang Chao exchanged glances, both able to see the confusion in each other's eyes. The Middle-Aged Police Officer, after escorting them to the door, smiled at them.
"Comrades, you’ve got what you came for. Now, while it’s still not completely dark, you should hurry back."
At that moment, Wang Chao spoke up. "Officer, do you know who that woman in the house was? And why she gave us this box?"
The Middle-Aged Police Officer shook his head and did not answer Wang Chao's question, merely gesturing for them to leave quickly. With no information forthcoming from him, the two left the police station feeling dejected.
They hailed a taxi and got in. During the ride, Wang Chao could no longer contain his curiosity and asked Jiang Liu, "What do you think is going on here?"
Jiang Liu glanced at the driver and replied, "If I’m not mistaken, what’s inside this box is likely an important clue related to our case."
Wang Chao's eyes lit up at this and urged him to open the box and see what was inside. Jiang Liu shook his head and waved the box in his hand. "Let’s wait until we get back; it’s not convenient right now."
After hearing this, Wang Chao looked at the driver in front of them and decided not to press Jiang Liu any further about opening the box. Once they returned to school, they found an empty corner and opened it.
At that moment, a silver-gray device about the size of a crisp cookie appeared inside the box. Jiang Liu took out the strange object. "What is this thing for?"
Wang Chao took the device from Jiang Liu's hands. "You don’t know? This is a voice recorder."
"A voice recorder?"
"Yeah, I’ve seen one on TV before." Wang Chao fiddled with the recorder in his hands.
"Can you use it? Don't break it," Jiang Liu reminded from the side.
"Don't worry, this thing should be similar to the P4 I used before. Look, it's already powered on," Wang Chao replied confidently.
Jiang Liu glanced over and saw that indeed, the screen on the voice recorder lit up. Soon after, they heard Wang Chao say, "Hey, it seems like there are some files on this recorder. Should we listen to them?"
"Isn't that obvious? Of course we should listen," Jiang Liu said as he pulled a pair of headphones from his pocket and tossed them to Wang Chao. "It'll be clearer if you use the headphones."
Wang Chao caught the headphones and looked at Jiang Liu with a strange expression. "Do you always carry headphones with you?"
"Yeah, it's a habit I developed from listening to music. Now stop chatting and hurry up."
Wang Chao didn't pry further and started pressing random buttons on the voice recorder, or at least that's how it appeared to Jiang Liu. Before long, Wang Chao said, "Okay," and both of them eagerly put on the headphones to listen.
At first, there was silence in the headphones, no sound at all. After a few seconds, a male voice suddenly came through, and it was unmistakably the voice of Jia Ren, who had died just a few days ago.
"Hello, hello, the recording is normal."
"Hello, if you are also a student at H University and studying in Classroom 000, then I must express my condolences because you have become entangled in a long-standing curse that originates from Classroom 000 where you currently reside.
There are likely two types of people who find this recording. One type is someone who stumbled upon this voice recorder without realizing that strange phenomena have already begun to occur around them. The other type is someone who believes that curses do exist in this world or has noticed the bizarre occurrences in Classroom 000. I wonder which category you belong to as you listen to this recording now?
But it doesn't matter; regardless of which group you fall into, it means you've been drawn into this cursed classroom. Don't think I'm being alarmist; I've conducted an experiment. After I noticed the strange phenomena in Classroom 000, I subtly informed others about the situation, but everyone who heard my message seemed unable to comprehend it.
Why? It’s as if an invisible force is influencing everything related to Classroom 000, making it impossible to convey information to others."
Hearing the sudden silence, Jiang Liu thought the recording had ended and asked Wang Chao, "What happened? Is that it?"
"No, I pressed pause."
Wang Chao's face showed signs of fear, beads of sweat crawling down his forehead. Seeing Wang Chao like this, Jiang Liu quickly asked, "What's wrong? Why do you look so pale?"
"Didn't you hear what was said in the recording just now?"
"I did, but I don't know which part you're talking about," Jiang Liu frowned and replied.
"It's the part where he mentioned conducting an experiment!" Wang Chao's tone was filled with dread. "Damn it, he actually shared information about the supernatural events with people who aren't involved!"
Jiang Liu finally understood that this was the reason for Wang Chao's distress, but he couldn't grasp why this alone made Wang Chao so furious. Jiang Liu certainly knew the consequences of revealing supernatural event information to others, which made him even more curious about Wang Chao's intense reaction.
However, the most important thing now was to finish listening to the content on the recorder. So Jiang Liu reassured Wang Chao, "Calm down first. It's crucial that we hurry and finish listening to the recording."
Wang Chao seemed to realize that getting angry at a dead person was quite foolish. After taking a few deep breaths, he resumed playing the recording.
"Based on the results of my experiment, I suspect that only those cursed in Classroom 000 can receive information about Classroom 000. In other words, anyone who finds this recording is definitely connected to the curse in one way or another.
Having said all this, I just want to inform whoever hears this recording that you are in grave danger and could die at any moment due to the curse. If you still don't believe what I've said earlier and think this is just a prank of mine, then you can stop listening now because what I'm about to say next is directed at those in a different situation than what I've described before."
The recording paused again at this point. Jiang Liu thought it was Wang Chao who had paused it again and looked at him with some dissatisfaction. To his surprise, Wang Chao innocently explained, "I didn't press pause."
"Then why did the recording stop?" Jiang Liu asked.
"I'll take a look," Wang Chao said as he fiddled with the voice recorder, suddenly realizing, "Oh, it turns out the recording has ended."
"What? It's over?" Jiang Liu exclaimed in shock. "How could that be? The conversation isn't finished yet; it can't just end like this!"
"How would I know?" Wang Chao replied, feeling a bit wronged.
Jiang Liu also recognized that his tone had been inappropriate earlier and took a moment to calm himself. "Why don't you check again and see if there's any other content?"
Wang Chao nodded in agreement and fell silent as he began to tinker with the recorder. Meanwhile, Jiang Liu pondered the content they had just heard.
From what they had listened to, it was clear that Jia Ren, who recorded this audio, was already aware of the curse in Classroom 000. It was highly likely that he knew how to deal with this curse; otherwise, he wouldn't have mentioned something at the end of the recording directed at someone else who had previously noticed the strange occurrences in Classroom 000.
What puzzled him was that from Jia Ren's tone, Jiang Liu couldn't detect any fear typical of an ordinary person facing supernatural events. Even more baffling was how an ordinary person could safely navigate through such an incident. After all, this supernatural event had put both Wang Chao and Jiang Liu in perilous situations, and even now they were still in the dark about the curse in Classroom 000. Clearly, this was not something an average person could manage.
Unfortunately, Jia Ren had died a few days ago in a bizarre accident, leaving them with only one clue: the recording left behind at Jia Ren's Place.
Just as Jiang Liu was trying to figure out how Jia Ren had managed everything, Wang Chao, who was still fiddling with the recorder, suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "I found it! There’s indeed another recording on this device."
Without further ado, Wang Chao pressed play, and both of them fell silent once more to listen.
"To those choosing to listen to this recording, it seems you belong to the second category I mentioned earlier. If my guess is correct, you should be students from one of my later classes; I should refer to you as junior students.
First of all, I want to congratulate you all; you are fortunate enough to learn about another world that is completely different from this one. However, accompanying you is death—an extremely bizarre kind of death—one that belongs to those who will completely disappear from this world.
My thoughts are a bit scattered right now. To help you understand why I recorded this audio, let me clarify my reasons."
Some of the more observant juniors might notice a hint of relief in my tone as they listen to this recording, unlike the fear that you all currently feel.
That's right. By the time I recorded this voice message, I had already escaped from Classroom 000, from that damned curse. Everything I'm doing now is just to prevent you from repeating the mistakes I made.
After a brief pause, Jia Ren's voice resumed, but Jiang Liu could detect a trace of sadness in Jia Ren's tone.
"Returning to the topic at hand, I recorded this message because my memories have started to become chaotic. After escaping from that damned curse in Classroom 000, I thought everything I experienced here would be unforgettable for the rest of my life.
However, I underestimated the power of this curse. I've noticed that my memories have begun to show too many inconsistencies over the past few days. I can no longer remember the names or faces of those who shared these experiences with me. I only know there were people with me, but when I try to think back, it all feels like a haze, indistinct and blurry.
So before my memories are completely erased by that force, I recorded this message.
Everything began when I first entered Classroom 000. Although I want to share my previous experiences with you, unfortunately, I can no longer recall them clearly. Therefore, I can only tell you how to escape from this cursed Classroom 000."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu's heart began to race. Everything about Classroom 000 was about to resurface in his mind. He turned to Wang Chao and noticed that he too looked tense.
The recording continued.
"There are two specific methods: one is relatively simple, while the other tests your intelligence. But ultimately, they boil down to one solution: murder!
Yes, you heard me right. The way to escape from Classroom 000 is through murder. But don't worry; it's not about indiscriminately killing innocent people. Instead, you need to kill the nonexistent One Person in the classroom.
At this point, you might be confused about how there could be a nonexistent person in the classroom.
Strictly speaking, that nonexistent person is not a person at all but a ghost. It has been haunting Classroom 000 and is the source of this entire curse. Only by killing it can everything come to an end."
I understand now; the power of this curse can alter our memories. So when a person who doesn't actually exist appears in our class, it becomes less unacceptable. That force has distorted all our memories, making us believe that there is indeed someone among us.
Because of this power, we cannot find the nonexistent One Person, which has led to some terrifying events.
Let's discuss methods. The first is to kill that nonexistent One Person. This method is difficult because our memories have been altered, so we can only find that nonexistent One Person through investigation, but the process is extremely dangerous—essentially a matter of life and death.
As for the second method, you might have already thought of it without me needing to say anything. That's right; it's to kill everyone except for yourself.
Since the ghost lives among our classmates, as long as we eliminate everyone else in Classroom 000, the curse will naturally be broken.
I've shared both solutions with you; how you choose to proceed is up to you.
At the end of the recording, I want to say one thing to anyone who hears this.
Do you think knowing the methods means everything is about to end?
In fact, this is just the beginning.
