Chapter 379: Chapter 379 - 379: Escaping the Dormitory Building

Translator: Zayn_

Zhao Yingnan didn’t dare to look at the dark corridor at all. She kept staring at the ground.

“Then should we go find Teacher Jiang and the others first? Wouldn’t it be better if everyone gathered together?”

“Maybe they’ve already slipped out,” Shu Ling disagreed.

Song Qingyou changed into a pair of flat shoes and locked the dormitory door.” Let’s go first, don’t waste time.”

This meant that he was not going to look for Jiang Xuyan and the others.

Zhao Yingnan had no objections. She followed behind the two of them.” There are some places in the school that don’t have light. Do you want to bring a flashlight?”

“I don’t think so.” Song Qingyou glanced back at the fully prepared camera.

“That’s true.” Zhao Yingnan breathed a sigh of relief. “1 was too nervous. 1 didn’t notice that Brother Zhang and the others were still there.”

“Yingnan, don’t you usually go out at night?”

“Go ahead.” Zhao Yingnan sighed. “That’s right… The production team is clearly trying to scare us. Now that there’s no movement, it’s making us panic.”

“Indeed.” Shu Ling nodded in agreement.

The two of them were sneaky and spoke very softly.

Song Qingyou wasn’t afraid at all. Even though her body was tense and her vigilance was extremely high, not many people could see anything strange.

“Qingyou looks like she’s not scared, but Shu Ling, why aren’t you scared?”

“I am mentally prepared.” Shu Ling patted her chest. “I’ve acted in several horror movies.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Qingyou, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped.

Zhao Yingnan did not dare to make a sound.

Shu Ling reached out and tugged at the hem of her clothes.

“There are footsteps.” Song Qingyou’s voice was very soft.

“Then-”

Zhao Yingnan was about to ask what to do. She wanted to raise her hand to support the wall. The dormitory door next to her suddenly creaked and was pushed open.

Zhao Yingnan was shocked and jumped behind Song Qingyou like a rabbit.

“Are these doors unlocked?”

Shu Ling had just muttered when clear footsteps came from the stairs at the end of the dark corridor.

Patter, patter-

The atmosphere in the exceptionally quiet night became even stranger.

Song Qingyou gently pushed Shu Ling. “Go in.”

If it was those men in black, then they had to hide inside.

Shu Ling carefully walked in.

The almost perfect moonlight shone on the balcony, and the people who came in could easily see the layout of the dormitory.

Other than the two bed frames, there didn’t seem to be anything else inside. Shu Ling felt relieved.

At the same time, she also noticed a sentence on the left wall. The black handwriting was extremely sloppy, as if it had been written in an emergency.

Shu Ling read out curiously, “Please, don’t… Look up at the ceiling?”

Zhao Yingnan, who was firmly following behind her, subconsciously raised her head when she heard this.

A pale human face on the ceiling revealed a sinister smile under the illumination of the flashlight.

“Aaaaahhhhh!!!”

Zhao Yingnan couldn’t help but scream.

She wanted to pull Song Qingyou behind her, but she saw a green light on the balcony…

“All!”

Zhao Yingnan couldn’t do anything besides screaming.

She ran out in a panic, and even when Song Qingyou grabbed her sleeve, she pulled it back hard.

Shu Ling was actually frightened, but after Zhao Yingnan’s scream, she was stunned in place and didn’t know how to react.

Song Qingyou immediately pulled her into the dormitory and closed the door behind her.

She didn’t care that there was still a cameraman who hadn’t come in.

The next moment, the footsteps of the man in black could be heard from the corridor.

“Fortunately, hiding in the dormitory was useful.” Song Qingyou said.

Shu Ling lowered her head, worried that she couldn’t help but look at the ceiling.

“The props on the ceiling are very realistic. The green lights on the balcony are probably voice-activated…From the looks of it, the layout of each dormitory should be different.”

Song Qingyou’s calm words greatly soothed Shu Ling’s emotions.

She finally came back to her senses. “Will Yingnan be alright? If she rushed out like that, would she be caught…”

“That depends on how scared Sister Yingnan is.” Song Qingyou said helplessly, “The more scared you are, the easier it is to escape.”

After all, after being stimulated, most people would explode.

“What should we do now?” Shu Ling asked. “Going out? I don’t want to go to the other dormitories anymore. The production team must have prepared a lot of these things…”

Song Qingyou nodded and leaned her ear close to the door and window. After listening for a while, she opened the door.

“Let’s go.”

With Zhao Yingnan as the target, she and Shu Ling should be able to go downstairs soon.

It was a pity that the program team’s small decorations in the dormitory could only scare a few people.

Jiang Xuyan and the other three had a lot to say about this.

If Song Qingyou and the others only saw a face on the ceiling and a strange green light, then the four of them were scared several times.

Since Tang Zinian and Jiang Xuyan were not people who did things slowly, they had already run out before Song Qingyou and the other two came out. When they were chased by the men in black, they found that every dormitory room could be opened.

Then, they found hair in the sink, blood stains all over the wall, and old music boxes that had ‘suddenly opened’ in various dormitories…

There was even a mourning hall! There were wreaths on both sides of the mourning hall, and in the middle was a table for the memorial tablets and tributes.

The tribute was a bowl of blood, and the memorial tablet… It was a mirror.

The mourning hall scared Tang Zinian so much that he took a few steps back and fell to the ground.

The four of them no longer wanted to enter these annoying dorms. They ran to the first floor, wanting to rush out of the dormitory building.

However, the only entrance and exit was a large iron door in front of them.

There were ten locks on it and a piece of paper with the words:

“Damage to public facilities is prohibited!”

“This sentence is obviously written for Sister Qingyou.”

Tang Zinian leaned against the wall and looked exhausted. “What should we do now? Go get the key from the warden?”

Before the three of them could reply, a voice came from behind them, “You guys-”

“Ahhhhh!”

Tang Zinian was so frightened that he shivered and screamed.

Yu Muhuai quickly covered his mouth.

“Uncle Dormitory Manager.” Jiang Xuyan laughed dryly with lingering fear. “Why are you here?”

“The few of you,” the warden interrupted. “You’re not allowed to leave the dormitory at night. Go back and lie down!”

“Uncle, we have something urgent to attend to tonight. Can you make an exception?” Yu Muhuai immediately said.

“What urgent matter?”

“My great-grandmother wanted to see me again before she died,” Yu Muhuai blurted out.

The others stared at him in shock.

The warden held back his laughter and his face twitched a little.

“Is this the reason for all of you? Are you brothers? Quadruplets?”

“Well, I was going to attend my grandfather’s funeral. He didn’t get to see me for the last time. Sob, sob, sob…”

He pinched his thigh, and tears started streaming down his face.

Xu Xingzhou watched the two of them “perform” in amazement. After a long while, he finally came up with an excuse.

“My sister is going to have an operation, and there is no one at home to stay with her…”

The warden was already laughing.

However, he still had to pretend to be very serious.

“Well, that reason is very valid—”
