The room was also pitch black, Zhang Da stumbled at the door when he rushed in and fell forward uncontrollably, his hands holding the knife and flashlight rolling weakly to one side.

  "Ah yo——!"

  Zhang Da let out a painful groan, feeling as if all the bones in his body had been scattered, but he immediately became aware of his current situation and hurriedly covered his mouth to quiet down.

  He picked himself up and retrieved the flashlight that had fallen to the ground, but instead of turning it back on, he turned it off and tossed it out of the classroom. It was clear that he wanted to divert its attention away from him, though he didn't know if this was a foolish move or not.

  "Ding...... Dong!"

  Several loud noises came from outside the classroom, and Zhang Da felt that the flashlight had already rolled very far away, at least it had left the range of this classroom. His purpose was very simple, he just wanted to lead it into other classrooms to search, so that he would have a chance to escape. After all, there were only a few classrooms here, if not using some means, it had a high probability of entering directly here.

  Of course, all of this was a plan that Zhang Da came up with on the spur of the moment, and whether or not it would work is probably something only ghosts know.

  In order to be aware of the situation outside the classroom, Zhang Da chose a position close to the door and hid under a desk. He curled up his body, slightly tilted his head, and held his breath to listen for any sound coming from the corridor.

  About a minute later, his heart was suddenly lifted up because the corridor suddenly echoed with footsteps! The footsteps sounded extremely slow and had no rhythm at all, but one thing he could be sure of was that it was approaching here.

  Zhang Da's heart was racing fast, and the cold sweat on his face kept falling in this torture. He silently prayed that it would go to another classroom.

  "Huh?"

  After listening for a while, Zhang Da let out a soft "hmm" in his heart, because the fleeting footsteps suddenly disappeared. If his hearing was not a problem, it should have been in the next classroom at that time, or even farther away.

  Zhang Da felt a little relieved, thinking that the main reason for the sudden disappearance of the footsteps was that it had already entered another classroom, and the flashlight he had thrown out earlier had played a role in diverting attention.

  This idea undoubtedly made Zhang Da extremely excited, it was a glimmer of hope for survival, and also the last straw that could help him escape.

  "Get out at once!"

  Zhang Da didn't hesitate, and firmly sprouted the idea of escaping from the classroom. Just as he was about to take action, a dazzling beam of light fiercely struck his face.

  In an instant, the classroom became incredibly bright, Zhang Da's eyes widened, his eyes filled with unbelievable horror.

  It was now standing in front of the desk where he had hidden, its head bowed and its malevolent gaze fixed on him. It kept waving the flashlight in its hand, as if declaring victory in this game of hide-and-seek.

  "I've found... you!!!"

  Xiao Mo and the other two rushed towards the exit of the first floor, panting and gasping for breath. At this moment, no one knew about Zhang Da's and Qin You Ru's deaths. Of course, even if they did know, they would be too preoccupied to care, as they were struggling to save themselves.

  But even if they could escape the teaching building, all of this was still meaningless to Xiao Mao. This could be seen from how Chang Lengfeng disappeared from the sealed room, that kind of power had the ability to lead them into the teaching building.

  If this curse can't be lifted, then escaping is ultimately futile.

  Even someone as calm as Xiao Muo is about to go crazy now, and it's not a solution to keep running away like this. Moreover, based on Chen Qing's description, Zhang You Shan's situation is also very abnormal. Its appearance was initially without any hostility, and even reminded them to leave the teaching building, but now it has become a murderous evil spirit.

  "Was it just a coincidence that it appeared earlier not to remind us, but only to remind me? Remind me to leave the teaching building!"

  Xiao Mo seemed to have thought of the key, and upon recalling, he realized that he was indeed different from Chen Qing and others. In his speculation, people like Huang Liang and Chen Qing had already experienced this cycle before, while he was experiencing it for the first time. Thinking about it this way, perhaps everyone would receive such a warning about danger when they experience it for the first time.

  Although it's a bit far-fetched, Xiao Mo could only think of this one explanation at the moment.

  As he thought about it, the transparent glass door of the teaching building had already appeared in his line of sight. Fortunately for him, the door was not locked.

  "Quick, rush out!"

  Seeing the exit within arm's reach, everyone's stumbling steps became steady, and the three of them also rushed out smoothly.

  At one o'clock in the morning, the outside world was still shrouded in darkness. Xiao Mo turned his head to look at the teaching building, where a faint chill was emanating from it. Upstairs, a classroom was lit up, and in front of the window, a terrifying figure stood still, staring down at them with its bulging eyes.

  "We're out! We made it out! Haha, we escaped!"

  Chen Qing laughed loudly, disregarding her image, with joy overflowing on her face like a burst of ecstasy that had just escaped and was about to soar into the sky. But before this joy could fully bloom, it withered away from her face. Because she saw herself looking down at the playground, looking down at Xiao Mo and Huang Liang's faces filled with shock!

  Xiao Mo looked up at the window in disbelief, staring at the bright lights of the classroom. The figure in front of the window had suddenly changed from one to two, and one of them was Zhang You Shan, while the other was surprisingly Chen Qing, who had just escaped from the teaching building!

  Xiao Mo and Huang Liang watched as Chen Qing disappeared from in front of them, only to reappear in that classroom which shouldn't have existed!

  Chen Qing also didn't know what was happening, she screamed in horror, unconsciously waving the knife in her hand, but it couldn't stop its slow approach.

  "No!"

  Blood splattered on the window, dyeing Xiao Mo's line of sight a bright red. He didn't have time to think much and immediately pulled Huang Liang, who had been frightened into a daze, towards the direction of the flagpole. The person who should have died tonight was Chang Lengfeng, but Chen Qing, or even Zhang Da and Qin You Ru might be dead too, which meant that changing the order of death couldn't lift this curse.

  So, they can only cut down that damn flagpole now.

  Chen Qing's tragic death made Xiao Mo deeply understand that this curse was irresistible to them, and if they didn't break it soon, the next person to die might be Huang Liang, or perhaps himself.

  Huang Liang wasn't a fool either, he now thoroughly believed in Xiao Mo's speculation. After calming down, he didn't ask any more questions and followed Xiao Mo to the bottom of that flagpole. Both of them had watermelon knives in their hands, but wanting to rely on these things to cut off the flagpole was undoubtedly very unrealistic. However, under the coercion of death, they couldn't care about many things anymore.

  The flagpole still stood upright, bathed in the moonlight with an eerie aura. In Xiao Mu's mind, there was only one thought, so he chopped down without hesitation, already prepared for his hand to be numbed by the shock.

  However, the knife cut through it as easily as cutting meat, and what echoed in their ears was not a "clanging" sound, but a chilling "pulsating" sound.

  The two knives actually didn't enter at all, and the long flagpole began to tilt to one side, it was really cut off!
