Chapter 779 - Fourth Floor (1/2)
Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Millman97
The third floor was the most dangerous floor; almost everything in the elevator was trying to get to this floor. The seemingly empty corridor might be bustling with people if viewed from another angle.
“The curtains of this building are grayish black in color. The red thing that floated around my neck earlier was definitely not gray in color, so it was not the curtain. It was probably the monster from the second floor that had caught up to me.”
A Red Specter was on a completely different level compared to a normal Specter. Therefore, when Chen Ge encountered a Red Specter, he did not hesitate to turn and run.
Without the aid of his workers, Chen Ge was practically defenseless before a Red Specter. He knew very well that he did not pose a threat to a Red Specter with the few nails that he was holding. “I didn’t find anything off on the first floor, and there’s a Red Specter on the second floor—I wonder what awaits me on the third floor.”
The laboratory was only one of the many buildings at the school, but this four-story building was already proving too much for Chen Ge to handle.
“On the surface, the school maintains a normal appearance. It hasn’t been that long since the lights got switched off, so the school hasn’t arrived at its scariest point yet.” Chen Ge was getting more confident that he was in the School of the Afterlife. The scary factor at this school was far beyond any of the other schools that he had been to in the past. “No matter what, I have to shake that Red Specter loose.”
Chen Ge headed to the room on the opposite side of the corridor. He had just taken the first step when he felt something touch his shoulder. “Did I knock into someone?”
Squinting, Chen Ge used his Yin Yang Vision, but in his eyes, there was nothing in the corridor. “It was not my imagination; I definitely brushed against something earlier.”
He took another step forward. This time, not only his shoulder, his arms and legs knocked into something. “This corridor isn’t really filled with ‘people’, is it?”
Actually, that question was no longer that important to Chen Ge. He forced himself to ‘squeeze’ through the corridor. Just as he was about to reach the door of the opposite room, the door before him suddenly was closed by someone inside!
Without any warning, the door that had been left ajar was slammed shut. A chill surged through his body. Chen Ge reacted very quickly; he turned to run toward the next room. However, before he even took his first step, the next door was closed as well.
“The things inside the rooms don’t want me to get close to them?”
At the same time, like they had received a signal, all the doors that were left open in the corridor were closed from within. A light stench drifted down the corridor and crawled up Chen Ge’s nostrils. He had encountered a similar smell when he was inside the elevator. “It’s this smell again.”
Chen Ge leaned against the wall. The stench formed a palpable wall around him. It felt like ‘dead bodies’ were surrounding him.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Suddenly, knocking came from behind him. Chen Ge turned to look, and the knocking was coming from the room that he had just escaped from.
