17 Fireflies In The Dark (1/2)

”This is the school's main entrance.”

Walking along the broken fence for around two to three minutes, the group finally reached the main entrance of Akichi High School.

It was a little different from what everyone had in mind as they had thought that there would be a large gate that stood before them at the main entrance.

”There used to be a big metallic gate at the entrance last time, but after the school was abandoned, the main gate was dismantled.” Nakagawa Aokiji explained, ”Of course it's better for us since that metallic gate was tall and heavy. If it had still been here, it wouldn't be easy to enter Akichi High School without the controller from the guard room!”

”Let's split up at the entrance… You all can decide which area you want to explore but let's try to finish exploring the entirety of Akichi High School within one or two hours!”

Since Masato and Aohi were here to court the ladies, thus Aokiji had also tried his best to help them.

By voicing out the places they wanted to go to, the others would subconsciously not head towards the same spot.

”I want to take a look at the gym area,” Kazuki was the first to speak out. Since the gym was where the fire took place, there had to be some clue over there if Akichi High School had really produced spiritual entities.

In a generation where reiki had not recuperated, the spiritual entities that clung to the mortal world would typically linger around the place where they had died.

It was not because they were restricted, but more to the fact that if they wandered around, they could turn into ashes quickly under the light rays of the sun. Even at night, an average spirit could be suffocated to death by the enormous amount of Yang where it was crowded with humans.

Spirits could only walk under the sunlight and linger around night markets if they had reached the State of Mortal Shedding and underwent a transformation.

”I have no objections,” said Shiori as she nodded in agreement. She had the same intention as Kazuki as they had both came for the fire incident.

”Then, Keiko and I will explore the girls' dormitory… there were rumors that a female student committed suicide in the dorm 20 years ago and produced an evil spirit that caused many female students to die mysteriously.” Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

As soon as Masato finished speaking, he glanced at Sakai Keiko, and upon seeing that she did not oppose, he released a sigh of relief.

As for Yasuda Aohi and Suzuki Aichi, they were prepared to explore the teaching building since many unbelievable incidents had happened in that building.

After allocating destinations, everyone went their separate ways without much talking.

Finally, Aokiji bid goodbye to Kazuki and Shiori and hurried to the primary school area in apparent urgency.

Shiori looked at the leaving silhouette of Aokiji suspiciously. Now, only she and Kazuki were left at the school entrance.

Kazuki Kimura gazed at the distant five-story teaching building. The gaping windows were dark and black as if they were mouths that could devour humans whole. Beneath their feet, the floor had no area that was left uncracked, and weeds were growing everywhere.

This high school had already become a classic horror scenario.

Kazuki did not speak to Shiori but headed straight in the direction of the gym.

The gym was located behind the teaching building and Kazuki who did not have the intention of going to other locations headed straight to the gym.

Seeing that Kazuki was starting to leave, Shiori followed after him but soon realized that Kazuki was walking so fast… she almost could not manage to catch up to him.

They had scaled several sloped roads on their way there, and despite having time to rest, they hadn't fully recovered yet.
