Congratulations on Your Successful EscapeChapter 4

Everyone woke up like from a dream and desperately ran up the stairs.

The steps in the stairwell were twisted into an odd angle, and it was easy to fall even when there was sufficient lighting, let alone in the dark and in the midst of panic. The sound of a bone breaking rang out, and from behind was a sharp scream, “Ah ah ah! My foot! Save me! Don’t leave me!” CB57Pu

Mo Yi was about to turn around, only to hear an eerie and faint giggle in the staircase, which sounded like a little girl gently laughing with a smile, sweet and content as if she had finally got her favourite toy.

And then, the voice of the man was like a tape that had broken… and, disappeared.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

The screams, begging for mercy, and cries for help, all seemed to be swallowed by the darkness, vanishing without a trace.

Everyone climbed up one by one, and in addition to the fear of luckily escaping from death, their faces were full of an indescribable heaviness and dread. d71RsO

Mo Yi raised his eyes and swept his gaze around, silently counting in his heart.

There was originally eleven people in the group, but now there were only eight people left.

And now, they had only escaped from one floor.

Everyone’s face was covered with the shadow of death.

At this moment, the metal bell rang, the monotonous and harsh sound ringing throughout the whole corridor. When the bell stopped, the whole school seemed to have rapidly changed.

Only after blinking twice, the scene in front had become completely different.

The long and empty corridor, the clean white walls, the silent classroom, the flashing white lights overhead, and the rotten smell seemed to have never existed. The air was humid like on a wet rainy day.

Shen Lei also walked over and followed Mo Yi’s gaze to the sky, a thoughtful look in his eyes, “…45 minutes, 10 minutes, school. These two states of space and time are probably switching according to when class starts and when it ends.”

Mo Yi nodded. g Ukp1

This pattern of change reminded him of the famous horror game, Silent Hill. The time during class was the real world, and the time out of class was the alternate reality world. But unlike the random dimensional shifts of the two worlds’ in the game, the ones here were clearly regular.

In that case…there was still 45 minutes before the next dimensional shift.

All of a sudden, his brow furrowed, and he seemed to smell something unusual. There was a strong scent of blood wafting slowly throughout the corridor, which was nearly impossible to ignore.

There were whispers of complaints and murmurs from the crowd, “…Do you smell that?”, “What’s that smell…?” UFEzIO

Someone boldly took a few steps forward and looked into a classroom from where the smell was coming from. The man’s face instantly turned white. “clomp, clomp, clomp,” the man stumbled back, his legs grew soft and his ass fell to the floor.

His trembling fingers pointed to the window. His mouth was wide open, but he could not speak. He could only make shocked “ha ha” sounds.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

An ominous premonition came, and Mo Yi slowly moved forward with everyone. He took advantage of his height to look into the classroom window.

The classroom was still clean and tidy. The books were still stacked up and the blackboard was still not clean. It looked like the students had just left. NQca2u

The only difference was…there were a few bodies in the classroom.

In the second row near the door, there was a girl sitting upright, her back straight with her hands folded on the table as if she were listening attentively.

Except, there was no head on her slender neck.

The cut was clean and smooth, and the fractured neck bone and trachea were visible. A large amount of blood was gushing out along the incision. The front of her shirt and the desktop were stained red by blood, which looked startling. E hPXz

In the first row close to the window, a man lay on the table, like he was sleeping in class. However, his head which faced the classroom door was terribly twisted, his bluish grey face, bulging eyeballs, and clenched teeth made it look like he had seen something horrifying.

His legs were stretched out by the desk, his calf was covered in blood and contorted into an unnatural arc. The white bone pierced through the skin, and blood trickled down his feet onto the floor.
The whole classroom was so quiet it was almost suffocating.

Seeing such a scene, even the experienced Shen Lei’s face turned green. He swallowed his saliva, took a step forward and reached out, pushing open the classroom door.

The smell of blood rushed out towards his face when the door opened, becoming more intense. Mo Yi only felt a writhing in his stomach, and it took a long time to build up his mental resilience before he could suppress the feeling of nausea. hn8w1x

A hand patted him on the back. Mo Yi looked over, only to see Jiang Yuanbai looking at him with concern. Even though his face did not look better than his, he whispered quietly, “Are you okay?”

Mo Yi gritted his teeth and nodded.

Jiang Yuanbai took his hand back, his eyebrows serious, “You really are too skinny, and your bones hurt my hands.

Mo Yi, “…” Aren’t you worried about the wrong thing? 2no7jh

After Jiang Yuanbai’s interruption, Mo Yi’s mind was much calmer. He followed the two relatively brave people in front of him and entered the classroom together. The others who remained outside did not dare approach the classroom or they had already run off to one side and vomited.

At this moment, She Lei had already roughly checked the corpses. He looked back at the few people who had come into the classroom and said in a heavy voice, “They are both our people.”

One was the owner of the head and the other one was the one who had fallen on the stairs. The one who had been dragged into the mist was still missing.

But Mo Yi was not particularly surprised. If the mist really was “The Nameless Mist,” then if the man’s corpse really did appear here, it would be unexpected. EqApag

The energy saving light bulb on the ceiling made a “sizzling” sound.

The iron smell of blood became less nauseating after he got used to it, Mo Yi thought. He took two steps into the classroom, his eyes landing on the corner of the wall. Instantly, the blood inside him seemed to freeze, and he was unable to look away.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

The snow-white walls had large words on it, “208 days from the college entrance examination.”

It was the exactly the same as the classroom he had woken up in. ajkX1

The mystery that had eluded him and was unable to discover immediately became apparent. Shen Lei said that the layout of the school showed that the first to third floor belonged to the three grades of high school respectively, and the classroom where Mo Yi had first ended up in was the same as the current classroom. Although they were located on the first and second floors, they obviously belonged to class three!

Mo Yi turned around and searched the classroom with some urgency.

Then, he headed towards one of the desks in the classroom and reached for the exercise book on the top of the pile of books, expertly flipping it open.

He was cold all over and his heels were almost nailed to the ground. 0jP9q1

On the first page written in beautiful and soft handwriting was, “Senior Class 3, Zhao Qiulan.”

  1. If only we had a forensic doctor, then we would know how they died, and what caused it

  2. Finally, a CN horror novel where the MC makes references to things I’m familiar with!! 😂 I was so excited when I read the words ‘Lovecraft’, ‘Stephen King’ and ‘Silent Hill’ 😂
