Chapter 174 - The Staircase of Despair (2/2)

Martha was a little desperate.

Then she began to walk slowly up the stairs.

At this time, she heard another movement upstairs.

“It sounds like footsteps?”

“Am I not the only one here? Why is there something else?”

“Whatever, let’s go and take a look first!”

Martha rushed up.

This time, as expected, she successfully walked out of the stairwell.

She did not know why, but as she ran, she suddenly walked out of the stairs and came to a corridor.

The corridor was dark, and nothing could be seen clearly.

“Is anyone there?”

Martha called out.

Her voice was very light and agile. Even after being tortured here for so many days, her voice still sounded very pleasant.

That was not right. There was clearly someone there just now.

Martha was very puzzled.

She had followed the sound of footsteps herself, so why was there no one when she came out?

“Is anyone there?”

She shouted again.

Her voice began to echo in the stairs.

However, there was still no response from her.

She was not discouraged. After all, she finally heard someone. How could she give up so easily?

Martha took a deep breath and was ready to shout again.

However, just as she was about to say something, a hand suddenly reached out in the darkness and pulled her arm hard, almost causing her to fall down.

Who was it?

Martha immediately looked over.

But the corridor was too dark to see anything.

She mustered up her courage and went in that direction, but he actually touched something.

The very rough surface was full of potholes.

It was like hay…

Martha thought of the Scarecrow from before, the scarecrow that seemed to have appeared in her dream.

In an instant, she was so frightened that she retreated a few meters.

There was nothing she could do. The scarecrow had left a huge shadow in her heart!

“Who… Who are you?”

Martha asked in a terrified voice.

Then, the entire corridor fell into silence. She could only hear her own breathing and the sound of her heartbeat.

There was silence for a few seconds.

Finally, a voice came from the other side.

“Martha?”

The voice was a girl, and she felt very familiar with it.

After a few seconds, Martha finally remembered who the voice belonged to. It was her roommate.

As expected, the girl across from her walked out. It was the person she was familiar with, not the scarecrow she thought it was.

“What’s wrong? Why is your hair like a bird’s nest?”

The girl across from her could not help but laugh when she saw Martha’s appearance. “If the boys at school saw you like this, they would be very disappointed.”

“Sob, sob, sob. I was trapped in a damn place for a few days.”

Martha said while crying.

The girl across from her was surprised and said very strangely, “what are you talking about? What are you talking about being trapped for a few days?”

“Haven’t you been attending class with us for the past few days?”

“I just don’t know why, but you’ve been absent-minded for the past few days.”

“I think you just didn’t sleep well. You just need to go back to the dormitory and have a good rest.”

Hearing that, Martha’s heart became even more chaotic.

Could everything that had happened before be a dream?

In the end, Martha, who had fallen into confusion, was brought into the dormitory by her roommate and fell asleep again.

Flanders, who had just temporarily ended the Domain of Fear, walked out of the campus with a smile on his face.
