Surviving in a School of Ghost Stories-Chapter 66
Stunned by Leonard’s words, I stared blankly at him for a moment.
“I never asked you to sacrifice yourself, so why are you sacrificing yourself alone? You make me feel guilty.”
Leonard continued to shine the flashlight on the cross necklace and sent the remaining student over as well.
“It’s right to share burdens that can be shared. Rely on others.”
I couldn’t say anything in response to those words. It was something I had never thought about.
I had never relied on others, so it felt unfamiliar. I didn’t remember receiving much favor.
Of course, I had {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} received favors from the people of Cheswind Village, but I had never relied on them because I had received favors.
But Leonard told me to rely on him.
My common sense just couldn’t understand how anyone other than Raven could share the burden and carry it together.
‘If I sacrifice myself, I can be comfortable alone, so why? What is that guilt... ... .’
However, I, who thought it was just guilt, thought of my current appearance.
I was sacrificing myself for Raven because of my guilt.
While I was lost in thought, someone approached me and spoke to me.
I checked the name tag on my uniform.
Oliver Henswix, according to Leonard, was a student in Class 3-F and the president of the newspaper club at St. Gloria Private School.
“Um... I think our team members are still inside this building.”
Oliver continued talking, still trembling with fear at the sight of the giant red eyes and the suffering ‘things’ in front of the music room.
“I said I was going to ask for help, but I didn’t come back.”
“What team are you?”
“Team 2. There are two missing team members.”
The black one, Noah Senior, who was standing next to me and wagging his tail, said.
[Ah, if it’s Team 2, don’t worry. I’m back.]
“Don’t worry about your teammates, Senior. They’ll be back first. Senior, you should go quickly.”
I sent Oliver and the remaining students away and took a breath.
At that moment.
Gugugugugung-
The building began to crack. The floor also cracked, and I could see the water that had pooled on the floor draining through the cracks.
“We have to hurry!”
Leonard’s shout made me anxious as well. I looked around, holding the cross in one hand and the shovel in the other.
I couldn’t see any hands reaching out from the water pooling on the floor.
“Sun, Senior? Where did you go?”
When I shouted holding the shovel, Leonard looked at me and the shovel as if he was looking at something strange.
He had been looking at me with many questions about the shovel since earlier, but he seemed to keep his mouth shut because of the situation.
The black eye had turned yellow again, and the water on the floor was showing its bottom.
Now that it had developed immunity, I could see the ‘things’ that had been struggling inside the music room moving one by one and approaching me.
This way.
At that moment, a strange voice was heard from somewhere. It was a huge sound that seemed to shake the ground, and it felt like tinnitus in my head.
The moment I heard the sound, I was overcome with fear that made the hair on my body stand on end.

Instinctively, we knew that it had come from outside the music room.
When I turned around, I saw blue eyes.
The huge red eyes had already become huge blue eyes. The blue eyes and the red eyes seemed to be the same being.
Since the red eyes were so scary that they felt evil and bizarre, the blue eyes seemed relatively harmless and even friendly.
It was as if there were two selves in one body.
“Ugh. Me, Melody.......”
Leonard said, blocking the ‘things’ rushing in my place.
“It seems like they’re calling you out of the music room?”
The huge blue eyes were getting smaller and smaller.
To be exact, they were moving further back from the door.
In the empty space of the huge blue eyes, a faucet was visible. It was the faucet in front of the music room hallway.
The faucet was still gushing because I had asked the students to turn on the water.
Above the faucet was a bright red window that was half open.
I instinctively knew that it was the ‘ghost door.’ The window frame was engraved with the traditional Johannes Gosse pattern of a harp and a fleur-de-lis.
It was the door with the F class pattern that Diana had mentioned.
It seemed to be the ‘ghost door’ that was written in the <Guidelines for Johannes Gosse Students>.
At that moment, the ceiling, walls, and floor cracked and the building tilted with a thud.
I grabbed Leonard’s hand.
As he, who was acting as a shield, stepped aside, ‘they’ poured down.
They grabbed Leonard’s hand and ran, clinging to my arms and legs and biting my body.
Despite the pain that was surging in, I walked up to the faucet with Leonard and the black cat in my arms.
I grabbed the open window. Then, as I was about to close the window, a strong wind blew and prevented the door from closing.
‘No.’
My hair was blown all over by the wind and my legs were gradually pushed back.
I couldn’t be pushed. I braced my legs and held on. Then I slowly moved forward and closed the door.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaang-!
Despite its small size, the door closed with a tremendous bang.
At the same time, a hand that jumped out of the water at the faucet grabbed me.
“Melody!”
It was Noah’s voice.
The relief that surged in made my legs lose their strength, and I was sucked into the water by the chairman’s evil force that held me.
That’s how we were able to return to reality from the other world.
