Chapter 249: I Found YouLynn's pupils abruptly contracted.
Dead!
At this moment, a wave of icy coldness washed through Lynn's heart.
This girl died on the very day she was supposed to meet the character he was portraying!
How could this be?!
Who killed her?!
And almost at that exact instant, the pointer once again pointed to the 12 o'clock position.
The entire classroom instantly plunged into pitch-black darkness.
Lynn immediately focused his mind intensely. Although the ten minutes weren't up yet, that "ghost" had already killed ten students.
Which meant.It was very likely already starting to search for him now!
In the darkness.
Lynn held his breath and concentrated, pushing his senses to their maximum, carefully listening for any sounds emerging from the dark.
But he quickly discovered that his senses within this room were also limited to those of an ordinary person.
Time seemed to have stopped flowing.
Slowly.
He seemed to hear a series of heavy footsteps in the darkness.
As if something was walking around inside the classroom.
Squelch—
Several agonized screams rang out.
The lights turned on again.
Lynn's eyes snapped open, and this time, right in the corner by the window behind him.
Four students lay decapitated at their own desks, their heads separated from their bodies. Scarlet blood flowed freely across the floor, the thick metallic scent making the entire classroom pungent and foul.
Simultaneously.
He also caught a faint whiff of something burnt.
The smell seemed to be coming from the walls, creating a deeply unsettling feeling, and the temperature in the entire classroom also seemed higher than before.
Lynn looked down at his own body.
Blood!
At some unknown time.
His entire body was covered in dried blood!
Could this also be a reappearance of that young man at a certain period?!
Lynn immediately stood up, gritting his teeth, and quickly began searching the entire classroom. He vaguely guessed one possibility.
That girl actually died!
In the diary.
He could clearly sense the unusual feelings the character he was portraying had for that girl.
Perhaps when that girl was hospitalized, he had already made contact with that "ghost," signed a contract with it, and taken that extreme step.
The only person willing to help him ended up retaliated against and hospitalized...
This clearly became the final straw that broke him!
Then what if she died?
"He would go insane!"
Lynn gritted his teeth.
Was this the reason for his earlier hesitation?!
Was it because of the message that girl sent him that night, causing him to waver when he resolved to sell his soul to the evil ghost?
But by that time, it was probably already too late!
Two possibilities quickly surfaced in Lynn's mind.
The first possibility was that the "ghost" killed that girl, because after signing the contract, it wouldn't allow him to waver.
The second possibility was revenge from those delinquent boys. The diary mentioned those guys were capable of anything, and the way they looked at her when leaving wasn't right.
But regardless of which possibility.
She was indeed already dead.
Then after that, a bloody massacre had likely already begun.
After that, probably no one would survive!
Everyone had to die!
The second hand ticked steadily onward.
Lynn gritted his teeth, swiftly searching the entire classroom for further clues. He rapidly observed every corner, not overlooking any suspicious traces.
And in the next moment, he suddenly discovered several charred newspapers under the teacher's desk.
He immediately opened them to check.
[April 26, 2019 Evening News]: Last night at 22:00, Third National Middle School caught fire for unknown reasons. Thirty-two charred bodies were discovered inside the teaching building, but perplexingly, the bodies of three students confirmed dead ten days ago were also found at the scene...
Buzz—
Lynn's eyes widened abruptly.
Thirty-two bodies!
This was exactly the thirty-one students in this class and that teacher!
But that girl's seat was clearly empty, and currently there were only thirty-one people in the classroom including him!
Three students' bodies...
Could it be that at the time point of the 26th, that girl's body also appeared in this classroom?!
At this moment, Lynn suddenly lifted his head.
He confirmed again.
That girl was his key!
Because the key represented the proof of passing for him.
And for the character he was portraying, that girl represented the last thread of hope in his heart.
If he could find that girl's body, perhaps the key would be there.
Total annihilation ending!
Lynn gritted his teeth, seething with frustration at the trial this room was putting him through.
So essentially.
On the evening of the 26th, that young man used the "ghost" to carry out final revenge against everyone, even bringing the bodies of those two already killed students to this room!
How profound must his hatred have been!
But there were still some parts that didn't make sense!
Because the appearance of the bodies of those two students he killed could still be explained, but why would that girl's body also be brought here?!
Could he possibly accept such desecration with peace of mind?
No!
He must have overlooked something.
Lynn furrowed his brow tightly, thinking desperately.
What if... the "ghost" indeed killed that girl?
Because the character he was portraying showed hesitation, making the "ghost" decide to kill, and it only needed to kill that girl to once again ignite the young man's intense hatred...
And it only needed to make his character believe that the girl's death was entirely due to revenge from those delinquent boys.
This way it could effortlessly stimulate his hatred and madness.
Because evil ghosts...
feed on souls filled with hatred...
And how to evoke his maximum hatred...
That would be after the contract was fulfilled, when everyone was dead, to place that girl's body before him, then tell him the truth...
If this was really the case...
Then that girl's body could only be...
Buzz—
But right at that moment, the lights dimmed again.
The entire classroom once again fell into deathly silence.
Squelch—
This time.
The sound of a blade piercing flesh reached his ears with crystal clarity. Lynn instantly realized that this time, the one who died was that teacher!
Because he was currently at the teacher's platform, and there was only that teacher alone on the platform.
Close!
Extremely close!
That "ghost" was right behind him now.
Lynn narrowed his eyes, his fingers slowly tightening in the darkness.
Time seemed to stop.
He could even hear his own heartbeat.
Thump—
The surroundings soon fell into complete silence.
But just as the darkness was about to recede.
He suddenly felt something press against his back, as if someone was standing back-to-back with him. An eerie chill instantly spread through him.
"I found you."
