Surviving in a School of Ghost Stories-Chapter 98

I don’t know what happened.

I was just resting behind the cafe.

Suddenly, I was trapped in the ‘other world’.

This was definitely the ‘other world’. I knew it instinctively.

I was in a town, but it wasn’t a town. It was like looking at the other side of a mirror.

The student ghosts disappeared from sight as soon as they realized I was in the ‘other world’. Maybe that was a good thing.

I decided it would be better to hide in the nearest store and then run away to a familiar place.

The cafe where I worked part-time was right next door.

Please, Leonard and Mrs. Lewis are there. Please.

I smell human.

Something unidentifiable kept looking for me. I broke out in a cold sweat.

I escaped the clothing store where I was hiding and ran straight to the cafe.

I smell human.

I smell human.

I smell human.

And the voice was approaching at an incredible speed. It seemed to be chasing me after smelling me.

I turned my head slightly at the sound of the voice chasing me closely.

A huge mass was running towards me at a high speed from the end of the street in the town.

When I looked closely, it wasn’t a mass, but a man. A man with long limbs that stretched out like a spider and crawling on all fours.

He had a face, but no eyes. The places where his eyes should have been were flat. It was as if his face didn’t exist to begin with.

A long, wet, mucus-like substance left behind him as he passed by, twisting his limbs bizarrely.

It couldn’t have been anything but a creepy sight.

Cold sweat dripped down my forehead and sweat pooled on my palms.

I finally reached the café, opened the door, and went inside.

But as expected, the café was dark and there were no traces of people anywhere.

The floor was covered in blood. I don’t know whose blood it was. °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° The cafe was a mess. I looked around confusedly, lost.

Where, where should I hide?

I smell a human.

I kept hearing voices calling for me from outside. My heart grew impatient. I had to find a place to hide.

‘Melody, think.’

If it was ‘the other world,’ there must have been a medium that brought me here.

‘The only medium was a candle.’

However, the candle disappeared the moment I entered ‘the other world.’

Where can I find a candle?

That was when.

“Here, here.”

I heard a voice calling me from somewhere, but it was not from outside, but from inside.

The hair on my body stood on end.

I held the cross necklace around my neck tightly in my hand, tense.

Even when I wasn’t wearing my school uniform, I always wore this blessed cross necklace. Just in case something like this happened.

Of course, this necklace didn’t have a huge effect, but it did have a temporary effect in chasing away evil spirits.

“Here, here.”

I kept hearing a voice calling me. But strangely, there was no poison in the voice. It sounded just like a person’s voice.

The voice of the guy chasing me outside gave me goosebumps from head to toe the moment I heard it.

But the voice I was hearing now inside the cafe sounded a bit strange, as if it had been layered on top of each other, but it sounded somewhat comfortable.

Could it be a survivor? Or a commander who had fallen victim to a ghost story?

I continued to look inside the cafe.

For now, there was no one in the store. I looked around and checked the time.

The time was 4 p.m.

When I was in reality, the sunset was almost over. It must have been around 7 p.m. at the most.

“This way.”

I came to my senses and turned my head when I heard the voice again.

This time, it was a little closer.

It was a sound from the kitchen. I slowly walked around the counter and ducked under the table.

Knock knock knock knock-

Kaaaah!

I could hear the sound of a spider spirit passing by outside the cafe. It must have ducked under the table at a good time and didn't see me.

It smells like a human

Where are you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The one wandering around outside seemed to be very angry because he couldn't find me.

Kwaang!

Then I heard the sound of someone slamming the cafe door hard.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

It seemed like he was trying to come into the cafe. This is a big deal. I quickly looked for a way out.

The back door of the kitchen. That is, the door Leonard took me out through.

Here he is. Here he is. Here he is. Here he is. Here he is. Here he is. Here he is.

Then I stopped in my tracks at the sound I heard outside the cafe door. Here it is, Lani. It was as if she had found me.

Look. Here it is.

The next voice I heard came from above.

Drop.

Drop.

Something wet was falling from above to the floor.

My body froze stiffly. I slowly raised my head, which was still motionless.

Then my eyes met with the man sitting on the kitchen table, looking down at me.

No. To be exact, the man’s eyes were not there. But it felt like our eyes had met.

I found him.

The man smirked. The corners of his mouth were torn all the way to his ears, and the teeth that were exposed inside his lips were sharp and close together like awls.

I quickly rolled on the floor. To be exact, it was a floor covered in blood.

So I rolled on the floor, covered in blood, and hid behind the refrigerator.

Huh? Where... ... Where did you go... ... .

And when I covered myself in blood, I saw the thing looking around confused for a moment.

However, if there was even the slightest sound, I would recognize it like a ghost and run towards it.

I couldn’t move.

That’s when I thought, ‘This is a big deal.’

Someone grabbed my arm. I was startled and tried to shake it off, but I covered my mouth.

Shh.

When I turned around, I saw a boy. He was wearing the uniform of St. Gloria Private School.

He had soft brown hair and deep blue eyes like the deep sea.

The boy’s uniform didn’t have a name tag, so I couldn’t confirm his name, but he was definitely different from ‘those things.’

I couldn’t say for sure that he was a human, but he definitely wasn’t an evil spirit.

‘So he’s a commander?’

I looked at him, putting my weight on this side.

He hid under the table with my mouth covered, and I looked at the ‘thing’ that was rummaging around the cafe.

“This way, slowly.”

He eventually led me inside the kitchen. We moved slowly.

I looked around while moving, looking for a candle. That must have been the medium that drew me here.

If I could just find a candle, I could open any door and go out. I couldn’t see the candle that seemed to be the medium.

“Are you looking for this?”

At that moment, the boy took out a candle from his pocket and showed it to me.

“Huh?”

Shh.

The boy pressed his index finger to his lips and made me quiet.

I glanced at the guy walking around the cafe with a nervous face.

Fortunately, he didn’t seem to have found us yet.

Soon, we entered the kitchen. As we slowly moved toward the back door of the kitchen, the boy asked me.

“Is it the eve of the Night of the Dead? Did a lost commander drop this over there? I picked it up.”

The boy advised me as I was quietly looking at the candle.

“Don’t be like me and get out.”

“You...? Who are you? Are you human?”

The boy smiled bitterly at my question.

“I was human, but I think I’ll soon be no longer. I’m trapped here because I couldn’t find a medium.”

I was trapped. In the ‘other world.’ Because I couldn’t find a medium.

I looked at him, at a loss for words to respond to the confusing list of words.

Come to think of it, I’ve been finding mediums to dispel ghost stories and exterminate evil spirits, so I hadn’t thought about what it would be like if I couldn’t find a medium.

If you can’t find a medium and get eaten by them, you die. And if you can’t find a medium and hide from them, you’ll be trapped in the ‘other world’ forever like this boy.

“Do you know what medium you came here with?”

“I don’t know. My memories of when I was alive are getting blurry, so it’s not easy to remember.”

I couldn’t continue talking because of the sad story. The boy patted my shoulder with an indifferent expression as he watched me.

We finally reached the back door of the kitchen. The door was slightly open.

That’s the door.

I grabbed the doorknob for the boy.

“You know what? The boundary between the ‘other world’ and reality is gradually disappearing. If the king’s seal is released, it’s really dangerous. Don’t be like me and go over to the land and don’t care about ghost stories. No, just leave this island, okay?”

The boundary between the ‘other world’ and reality is disappearing. If the king’s seal is released, it’s really dangerous. I’ve heard this from Noah Sempai.

I said to him.

“How do you know that? Do you know where the king is sealed? Can you tell me? I need information about the king.”

“I don’t really know much about the king. I just picked up what the wandering commanders said.”

The boy shrugged his shoulders awkwardly. He really didn’t seem to know anything more than that.

I looked at him with a complicated expression and asked.

“I’ll help you find your medium. I want to repay your favor. What’s your name?”

“No. You can’t help me. I don’t remember my name. Hastings, do you know what’s the difference between those things and humans?”

He checked my nametag and called my name naturally.

“They don’t know their own names, but humans know theirs. Don’t forget your name, no matter what.”

The boy who said that placed his hand over mine, which was holding the doorknob, and opened the door for me, who hesitated.

“And don’t ever come here by mistake.”

With that, he pushed me hard before I could say anything.

So I opened the door and went out.
