e system was probably updated before its closure </e and concluded, The classrooe, but the classrooms on the third floor seem to have been abandoned even before the closure

The tables and chairs were piled on top of each other, and there was not one piece of chalk left on the lectern Some of the classroo? Murder? Hidden security concern?

There could beof the place, and Chen Ge could not pinpoint which one it was He exited the classroom and headed up the fourth floor

When he took the first step, Chen Ge turned back to see whether the wooden chair was following him or not

It wasn’t

When he reached the landing between the third and fourth floor, there was a rope tied across the two banisters of the stair that blocked his way There was a wooden board hanging on it Similar to the one at the front door, it said ‘NO ENTRY’

Naturally, Chen Ge was not deterred by the wooden sign He picked it up and put it to the side before bending down to scurry under the rope

As he reached the fourth floor, Chen Ge noticed with his first glance that a faded rooht opposite from him

Three at once?</e over to the chairs, his every action reflected in thehis own reflection in the ht, Chen Ge felt increasingly unsettled

Resisting the urge to break the mirrors, he toppled the three chairs to their sides, and like the chair he had found earlier, all of theirl’s na the chair at the girl’s dormitory, I’ve stule one of the with the spirits of five girls So, the question is, what has really happened to them?
