Chapter 42

The old school building at night indeed gave off a sense of terror and eeriness.

When Zhou Xian arrived here, he immediately felt that this old school building would be a waste if it weren't used to shoot a ghost movie.

"I didn't expect this problem to become so serious..."

Zhou Xian let out a bitter laugh.

If it weren't for the fact that the dragon script had just taken effect, why would Zhou Xian have rushed over so urgently?

The dragon script actually had such power in the real world, which was completely beyond Zhou Xian's expectations.

"Could this place really be haunted?"

Zhou Xian's heart raced as he saw the house.

Before "July 4th," Zhou Xian was a thorough atheist. However, after the series of strange, mystical, and even absurd events that occurred on that day, Zhou Xian became half-believing and half-doubting. Now, facing such a house, Zhou Xian really regretted it.

"Why did I have to come to such a place..."

This place was far more terrifying than the spirit tomb in the game.

At least when Zhou Xian was in the spirit tomb, he didn't feel this kind of eerie and desolate terror. But the old school building in front of him seemed like a pitch-black, man-eating monster.

Zhou Xian opened the save interface and hesitated.

Saving itself would consume 10% of his experience, and Zhou Xian had already dropped to level 64. If he continued like this, he would really feel the pain. Moreover, it was about to be midnight, and after this day, saving would directly deduct his level. Zhou Xian, who had already verified this, deeply understood it.

"Let's wait until we really encounter danger. This isn't the game world..."

Zhou Xian's past decades of cognition took the upper hand at this moment.

He took a deep breath, turned on his flashlight, pushed open the school building's door, and walked in.

The school building was very dark, and although the windows allowed the moonlight to shine in, it only added to the eerie feeling without providing much convenience to Zhou Xian.

He tried his best to control himself from thinking about strange things and walked towards the wall where he had seen the dragon script earlier in the afternoon.

"The script on this wall is indeed the dragon script, no doubt about it."

Zhou Xian touched the wall.

Now, there was nothing on it.

However, near the wall, Zhou Xian saw half a piece of chalk.

Clearly, this kind of chalk wasn't used in current classrooms, but since this was an old school building from the last century, it wasn't impossible for such chalk to appear.

"Should I try it now?"

Zhou Xian walked over and picked up the chalk.

He tried to write a sentence of dragon script on the wall.

"—Huh?"

As soon as he started writing, Zhou Xian noticed that the chalk seemed to become incredibly hot.

"Right, I did clean this old school building last year. How could something like this chalk be in such a conspicuous place?"

This seemed a bit off, didn't it?

Zhou Xian hadn't noticed this before, but just now, he suddenly remembered that the old school building did have chalk, but it should have been stored in the storage room, and there definitely wouldn't be much of it. The students came here every summer to clean, and this had been going on for over thirty years.

But now, he could easily find a piece of chalk that heated up when writing...

"And why is this wall—"

Zhou Xian suddenly noticed that the half-finished dragon script on the wall quickly turned gray-black and fell to the ground.

"Swallow."

Zhou Xian swallowed hard.

This situation made it impossible for him not to focus his mind.

"Bang—"

A sound came from the side.

Zhou Xian felt all the hair on his body stand up!

He quickly saved and ran towards the source of the sound!

He clenched his teeth, threw away all his杂念, and ran towards the target.

At the corner of the corridor, Zhou Xian immediately saw something flash by!

There was indeed something!

"You can't run away!"

As if to boost his own courage, Zhou Xian immediately rushed forward and pinned the black shadow under him!

"Ouch!"

The figure under Zhou Xian let out a scream.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Beidou...?"

After a brief silence, Zhou Xian seemed to recognize the voice. He used the moonlight to barely make out the identity of the person.

Upon realizing it was Beidou, Zhou Xian's heart, which had been on edge, finally relaxed.

"Ouch... You scared me to death!"

Beidou's eyes were almost circles at this moment.

"Cough, sorry, sorry."

Zhou Xian realized their current position was a bit awkward, so he quickly stood up from Beidou.

"Ouch..." Beidou, who had been hit by Zhou Xian, squatted on the ground, holding her head: "I just wanted to explore the old school building, no need to be so rough..."

"..."

Zhou Xian had come to investigate the dragon script, but he didn't want anyone else to know about it.

After all, everything was too strange.

"Do you know what time it is now?"

"Night... um, half past eleven."

"Then let's go back quickly."

Thanks to Beidou, Zhou Xian was no longer as paranoid, but her appearance would cause a lot of trouble.

"Ah?! My exploration has just begun!"

"It's over!"

Zhou Xian naturally pulled Beidou up.

He checked his flashlight, which had been damaged when he pushed Beidou. He sighed and then pulled Beidou towards the old school building's door, despite her protests.

"Bro, please! If you let me stay, I'll never forget you! I won't let you go even if I become a ghost... uh..."

Realizing she had said something inappropriate, Beidou quickly stopped, and Zhou Xian's mouth twitched.

"Alright, I'll take you out now."

To Zhou Xian, Beidou didn't seem like a middle school student at all. No, in Zhou Xian's view, the gap between Beidou and modern people had already broken through the sky.

This was definitely not a "normal person."

What made Zhou Xian find even more absurd was that he could still rationally communicate with Beidou.

Yes, this was probably the scariest thing.

When Zhou Xian reached the door, he found that it had somehow closed. He walked over and tried to push it open.

"Huh? What's wrong with this door?"

Zhou Xian found that the door wouldn't budge.

"Is it rusted?"

He looked, but the door had no gaps, and he couldn't see outside at all.

Cold sweat immediately flowed down Zhou Xian's forehead.

"...Oh! There really are supernatural phenomena in this world!"

Beidou was full of spirit.

"..."

Zhou Xian felt exhausted.

"...Right, let's check the windows..."

Zhou Xian pulled Beidou towards the window, but when he turned back, he realized that the light from outside was no longer shining in the corridor.

A chill ran down Zhou Xian's spine, and he carefully pulled Beidou to the window.

Outside was pitch black, even darker than the corridor where Zhou Xian was.

The windows were tightly closed, and the glass reflected their pale and eerie faces.

"Let's break the window and get out..."

Zhou Xian wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Um, Zhou Xian," Beidou looked at him: "Although we haven't seen any supernatural monsters yet, breaking the window might not be a good idea, right?"

"..."

Zhou Xian could clearly sense that something was wrong here!

"What should we do now? It seems this place is really haunted!" Beidou looked at Zhou Xian. Unlike the fear on most girls' faces, Beidou's face was full of anticipation.

"Right, I remember there used to be an iron door on the top floor, but it was removed during maintenance a few years ago. We can get out through the top floor." Zhou Xian suddenly remembered this.

"Okay, let's go!"

Zhou Xian pulled Beidou and headed towards the top floor.

Zhou Xian was no stranger to the old school building, as he came here every summer to clean.

But at this moment, as Zhou Xian walked down the corridor of the old school building, he felt that the entire corridor seemed to be distorted.

A path that should have taken one or two minutes felt like it took him over half an hour.

"Beidou, don't you think this place is too strange?"

It was a relief to have a companion, otherwise, this terrifying place would have been impossible to continue through.

In fact, when the old school building's door closed, Zhou Xian had already realized something was wrong.

"Really?"

Okay, asking this question to someone with such a thick nerve was a mistake.

"From here, we can go straight to the rooftop."

Zhou Xian pulled Beidou and headed towards the rooftop.

The distorted path revealed its terrifying abnormality at this moment.

Even though they were on the stairs, Zhou Xian felt as if he was in some bizarre space.

The darkness was suffocating. Even though Zhou Xian had been to the Netherworld Secret Realm, the eeriness here was incomparable.

Inauspicious.

This was thoroughly inauspicious.

Disaster.

This was thoroughly disastrous.

It was as if it wanted to make one vomit with its repulsion and hatred.

At this moment, Zhou Xian felt sweat pouring down his face.

This feeling of being cut off from the world made Zhou Xian extremely uncomfortable.

In this pitch-black darkness where even the walls couldn't be seen, Zhou Xian led Beidou towards the top floor.

"Eh?"

Beidou's sudden voice startled Zhou Xian.

"What's wrong?" he quickly asked.

"Nothing," Beidou looked back strangely: "I just felt a cool sensation on my hand, like something was behind us."

"..."

Zhou Xian was drenched in cold sweat.

"Ha-ha~ I got you~"

Beidou suddenly burst into laughter.

"—!!!"

Seeing Beidou's laughter, Zhou Xian's brain short-circuited.

After a while, he reacted: "This isn't a horror movie scene, don't play these tricks!"

Zhou Xian was furious.

However, surprisingly, the previous sense of terror and eeriness seemed to suddenly disappear, and Zhou Xian relaxed a lot.

"Alright, let's continue."

On the way again, Zhou Xian found that the abnormal stairs seemed to have returned to normal in an instant.

"We're here."

Soon, Zhou Xian reached the top floor, but he found that it was locked with an iron door.

"What's with this door?" Zhou Xian frowned and looked at it. He suddenly noticed something on it, but it was too dark to see clearly.

"I have a lighter."

Beidou took out a small flashlight and turned it on.

Zhou Xian stood there for three seconds.

"Zhou Xian, what's wrong?" Beidou looked at him strangely.

"Miss Beidou, if you have something like this, please take it out earlier next time..."

"Uh... okay."

Zhou Xian shook his head and turned to look at the illuminated text. He didn't notice the mischievous smile behind him.

"Dragon script?" Zhou Xian was immediately surprised when he saw the text on the door.

However, due to the current situation, Zhou Xian subconsciously ignored the fact that he could understand dragon script in the real world.

"Nine deep and dark evil dragon roars..."

"Is this a sacrificial text? A poem?" Zhou Xian thought of the phrase "Heaven and Earth illuminate, the sword burns in silence" he knew before.

"What kind of third-rate seven-character verse is this!" Beidou also complained.

"..." Although he felt like he had heard this complaint somewhere before, now wasn't the time to dwell on it.

"If this place is also sealed... how can I get out?"

This was the primary concern now.
