My House of Horrors - Chapter 87

Chapter 87: You Are Inside the Drawing

The writing was carved onto the table with the end of a pen . Each marking went deep into the surface and spoke of the writer's pain and desperation . The writings were all collected at the center of the table . Chen Ge bent down toward the table to get a closer look .

"The eyes on the toilet wall came alive! I saw it, the eyes were moving!"

"I don't know why I would imagine that, but from that day onwards, I feel like a pair of eye has been following me . "

"They could be hiding anywhere, inside the drawer, under the bed, behind the pillow . "

"I've lost the courage to even look inside my bag, afraid that a pair of eyes will look back at me . "

"I'm afraid of being left alone . I don't dare enter tight spaces . I'm scared of the dark . The moment the lights are switched off, I scream, waking up from a nightmare! I believe I've lost my mind, and the pair of eyes is watching me slip down the spiral of insanity . "

"What should I do? A pair of eyes is following me . "

"They must be hiding somewhere, and they look familiar, but I cannot place them . "

"I have told my parents and the class teacher about this, but they brushed me off, saying that I probably need to lay off the heavy studying . "

"They are probably right . I'm probably too tired, or else why would I think the pair of eyes look so similar to the class teacher's eyes?"

"My parents told the teacher to keep a tab on me, and I know they meant well, but whenever I'm close to the respected class teacher, I just want to grab a pen and jab his eyes blind . "

"Have I finally gone off the deep end? I don't dare tell more people about this . I'm afraid, afraid of the eyes, and afraid that people might call me crazy . "

"I pretend to laugh and smile like I used to, but the appearance of the eyes has gotten far more frequent . I don't know who I can trust . "

"I feel like I'm breaking down . Horrible thoughts appear in my mind when I see needles or fruit knives . I find myself wailing for no reason . I want the tears to stop, but I can't control them . I know they are watching . "

"This cannot go on any longer . I only seek release . "

"I hope the rumors about this classroom are real . I am willing to give up everything just to destroy that pair of eyes . "

After reading everything, Chen Ge did not hurry to leave . He diligently recorded all the handwriting on his livestream . In a way, he was keeping evidence . The writing on the table was seemingly carved by the girl who had been hurt by Teacher Fan .

The eyes inside the toilet had traumatized her deeply . That, combined with Teacher Fan's other actions, pushed her to seek help from this cursed classroom . After she paid her dues, Fan Yu's parents really disappeared . In a way, those eyes that haunted her were indeed dealt with .

Chen Ge realized this sealed classroom played a key role in the whole process . In other words, Teacher Fan's real killer might have been the things that resided in this classroom .

The paper notes with three different sets of handwriting belonged to three people who didn't exist among the existing student roster and had the capability to kill . If the ghosts inside this classroom were the killers, they did fulfil the three criteria perfectly .

Chen Ge looked around him, and his heart started to waver . He was reminded of the group photo that Fan Yu's aunt had shown him . He might be dealing with more than one or two ghosts . Perhaps a whole classroom of ghosts was trapped there .

Chen Ge turned to inspect other tables, and he realized that something was written on each table .

Every table is carved with words, but the handwriting are all different .

When Chen Ge moved toward the next table, he accidentally knocked into the table on which the textbook, paper, and pen sat . The pen rolled off the edge and fell to the floor .

When Chen Ge bent down to pick it up, an arm from beside the table reached out to pick up the pen and hand it to Chen Ge .

"Thank you . " Chen Ge accepted it and replied on reflex . However, as he straightened up to replace the pen on the table, he froze . A surge of chills climbed up his spine .

Where did the arm come from?

He aimed his mallet at where the arm had been, but it only made contact with air . He looked around, and the sealed classroom was the same as he remembered . The tables and chairs around him remained unchanged, but Chen Ge's gaze did change .

There's a classroom at the end of the corridor that's always sealed . No one ever enters it, but every night, the classroom will come alive with activity, and it's almost midnight .

The mission description crossed his mind . Just the thought of it made him shiver . Surrendering the mission, Chen Ge just wanted to get out of the classroom as fast as he could .

The closer he was to the door, the more anxious he became . He anticipated that the door would close at the final moment and he would turn to see the whole classroom filled with 'people' . Chen Ge picked up pace and rushed through the door . Thankfully, what he feared did not happen .

Looks like this side mission is not accomplishable . Chen Ge looked at the classroom and realized the rumors were probably real . The whole class had turned into ghosts and stayed to haunt the place .

After closing the classroom door, before he could catch a break, Chen Ge lowered his head and saw something that gave him the shock of his life . There was another set of footprints outside the classroom beside him . The person seemed to have stopped in front of the classroom for a long time before leaving .

These look like the prints of rubber shoes; this person came prepared .

When he was inside the sealed classroom investigating, there was another individual watching him from outside the window . Chen Ge felt scared . If something had happened to him inside the classroom and he had run toward the door, said person could have easily locked him in from outside .

Gripping the mallet in his hand, Chen Ge soon calmed down . Footprints can't be hidden that easily . I'll need to find this person first before I decide what to do .

He followed the footprints, and the other person did not seem like they were planning to hide . The trail of footprints was clear, like they were waiting for Chen Ge to come find them . Chen Ge followed the trail up to the third floor, and he realized that the prints entered the toilet . He put away his phone and slowly pushed the toilet door open .

There was a woman in raincoat standing before the fifth cubicle . She looked slender and weak, like she could crumble at any moment .  

"Whether you're a human or a ghost, you're not leaving here until you give me an explanation," Chen Ge warned while maintaining a three-meter distance from the person .

After a long time, the woman removed the hood of the raincoat to reveal her face . "I really didn't think you would come here . I'm here to save you . "

The woman who appeared at Mu Yang High School at midnight was Fan Yu's aunt .

"Save me?" Chen Ge did not believe her fully . Fan Yu's aunt was still a suspect . He had not forgotten about the woman's insistence on giving him that glass of water .

"Yes, I saw Fan Yu's drawing . " The woman peeled out a wrinkled piece of paper from inside her raincoat . "You are inside the drawing . "

"Place it on the floor and take a few steps back . "

Fan Yu's aunt dropped the drawing and retreated to stand beside the sixth cubicle .
