Horror Chapter
Jiang Liu raised his voice as he recounted the entire process, ensuring that everyone in the room could hear him.
From the moment the three of them left the classroom, to the bloody scene they encountered upon returning, and then their frantic search for the deranged Lin Feng that led them to the dormitory, Jiang Liu detailed everything. However, he glossed over some key points.
Once he finished recounting their experiences, Jiang Liu fell silent, waiting for the boys to make a decision. This waiting, relying on others to determine his fate, made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
During this time, Wang Chao asked Jiang Liu, "Who do you think it could be?"
"I don't know, but I think the Escaper hiding in the crowd is a newcomer."
Jiang Liu shared his opinion, mistakenly believing that Wang Chao was asking who among the crowd might be the Escaper. However, he clearly misunderstood Wang Chao's intent.
From the moment he realized that everyone was aware of the supernatural events, Wang Chao knew there was an Escaper among them—a complete rookie. Deep down, he had already sentenced that newcomer to death.
So when he heard Jiang Liu's irrelevant response, Wang Chao had to clarify: "I meant to ask who you think in the crowd is that ghost."
Jiang Liu suddenly felt awkward. "Oh, I thought you were more concerned about who that newcomer might be."
Wang Chao looked at the crowd across from him and explained, "Everyone knows that person is a newcomer, so it doesn't affect us much. What I'm concerned about is who has been hiding as a ghost all this time!"
At that moment, Wang Chao's tone was unusually cold. It was clear that he had been suppressing his anger and was now on the verge of exploding.
Jiang Liu believed that if anyone in the crowd made any suspicious moves at this moment, then when the lights went out again, Wang Chao would likely take action.
At this point, the crowd had also stopped discussing. A boy stepped out from the group and addressed the three of them, "We believe what you said earlier, but I have a question that I hope you can answer honestly."
"What question?"
"Based on what you just said and our experiences, it seems that everything started happening after you three left the classroom. I hope you can give us a satisfactory explanation." The boy spoke earnestly.
"No, I think it's quite the opposite," Jiang Liu said, locking eyes with the boy. "Nothing particularly special happened after we left the classroom. However, when we returned, you were all gone, leaving only a scene of carnage behind. Rather than us explaining ourselves to you, I would prefer if you could explain what happened in the classroom after we left."
The boy's face turned pale at that moment; his gaze flickered as he avoided making eye contact with Jiang Liu. The crowd behind him fell silent instantly.
Jiang Liu continued, "We are all in this confined space together; it's better to understand certain things. Our energy shouldn't be spent on mutual suspicion; finding out who among us is hiding is what we need to focus on right now."
The hidden meaning in Jiang Liu's words was clear: they knew that some truths were being withheld by both sides. Since everyone was holding back information, it was best not to dig too deep into those areas.
Clearly, there were sensible people in the crowd. Another boy wearing glasses stepped forward and smiled at Jiang Liu and the others. "This classmate makes a good point; we are all in the same boat right now. Finding a way out is our top priority. By the way, I don't think we've caught your name yet."
"Jiang Liu—Jiang as in 'river,' and Liu as in 'flowing continuously.'"
"Jiang Liu, do you have any thoughts on our current situation?"
The glasses-wearing classmate's smile resembled that of a smiling tiger, which made Jiang Liu feel quite uncomfortable. Nevertheless, he understood the principle of not striking someone who was smiling at him, no matter how much disdain he felt.
Organizing his thoughts in his mind, Jiang Liu expressed his opinion: "First of all, I believe the method you mentioned for escaping from here should be correct. Think about what we have experienced today; it cannot be explained by science. By your definition, this is a supernatural event.
Since it is a supernatural event, it means that this force is something we cannot change. In the face of an unchangeable force, we can only submit. From this perspective, if the method were wrong, it would seem redundant.
"That makes sense. Please continue."
"Since the method is correct, it means there really is a ghost among us. However, based on your attitude, you seem to believe that the ghost is one of the three of us. I cannot convince you to trust us, just as you cannot convince us to trust you."
"Indeed, neither side can trust the other. So, Jiang Liu, do you have any good ideas?"
"I don't have a method; I can only offer my suggestions."
"That's fine. Let's hear them so we can all consider them together."
Hearing the boy's words, Jiang Liu's lips curled into a dangerous smile.
