The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 288

Just as the howling gale, suddenly!

Spurt—

Blood began to spurt from the principal's body as his body was squeezed and deformed.

But he seemed oblivious to the pain, continuing to twist his arms and neck ceaselessly, as the blood kept spurting out.

The scene was ghastly and vivid, leaving the four pathetic losers stunned and dumbfounded.

Oh my god! Was this really just an act?

Should we send him to the hospital?

The two teachers were in similar states, and soon all three collapsed in a pool of blood on the ground.

The students, on the other hand, began to panic at this moment, then screamed and cried loudly.

Student No. 42 and 43 laughed even louder, holding hands and spinning in circles.

"Spirit pen! Spirit pen!"

Ultimately, clack—

The lights abruptly went dark, surrounding them in pitch blackness.

Danmu/Comments:

: Is it over?

: Was this real or fake?

: I can't even tell if this is staged, how did they make it look so realistic with the spurting blood!

: Damn! I clearly saw the principal deform himself and die spurting blood.

The four pathetic losers were also scared silly, shuddering as they crawled out from the podium.

Lan Tianyou: "Shou...should we call the police?"

Guan Liangzhe: "Call an ambulance?"

Nan Xiangwan: "No worries, I smell a familiar tomato juice scent."

Gu Beihuai: "..."

Ge Dongxuan: "Uh, Wan darling your nose is so sharp."

Sha Ling: "You scared me to death, I thought it was real!"

Danmu/Comments:

: You scared us to death too!

: Did they overdo it? I almost called the police!

: Go out and see what's going on now!

Nan Xiangwan did not walk forward, because she saw the wall mechanism activate again, probably needing to wait a bit.

About thirty seconds later, the lights came back on.

The obstructing wall also rose back up, and now there was no one outside.

With the light back, the four pathetic losers were emboldened somewhat, following the two pros out to take a look.

The corridor was covered in blood stains, extremely gory!

There were even prop severed hands and feet, the visual impact of the scene was intense, like a slaughterhouse.

Gu Beihuai looked around, unable to set foot anywhere with so much blood on the ground.

Nan Xiangwan squatted down and sniffed: "Lots of tomato juice."

The others just stared blankly hearing this line.

Gu Beihuai: "Have you guys gone upstairs to check out the next clue yet?"

Nan Xiangwan: "We played spirit pen and it told us the exit is on the roof of the 2nd floor."

Guan Liangzhe: "But there's no button for the 3rd floor in the elevator, and we don't even know if there is a 3rd floor, or if it's the rooftop or something?"

Lan Tianyou: "Let's go find a way up."

Ge Dongxuan weakly asked: "There won't be any more ghosts coming out right? It should be over after that massacre!"

Sha Ling: "Don't forget the spirit pen hasn't left yet."

Ge Dongxuan: "Mommy! This show is too scary!"

The four shivered as they huddled tightly together.

Nan Xiangwan walked at the very front opening the way. Gu Beihuai brought up the rear. With one in front and one behind, it gave the four pathetic losers an immense sense of security.

After entering the elevator, right as Guan Liangzhe was about to press the button for the 2nd floor,

Clack!

The elevator abruptly shut its doors and was plunged into darkness.

Guan Liangzhe: "Oh my god!"

Lan Tianyou: "Help, help!"

Ge Dongxuan: "Ahhh help!"

Sha Ling: "Help, elevator malfunction!"

The four pathetic losers immediately started screaming as soon as it happened, each trying to be louder than the last.

With her night vision, Nan Xiangwan could see clearly that it didn't seem to be broken down.

Very quickly, the elevator began moving on its own.

Shooting upwards rapidly!

Then it came to an abrupt stop, ding, opening its doors.

The four's voices have gone hoarse from screaming, not even daring to lift their heads.

Nan Xiangwan stepped out with one foot into a space filled with the smell of rust, not a hallway, more like an attic.

Clearly not the 2nd floor.

Gu Beihuai: "3rd floor it is."

There was light, but very dim, and something felt off.

Guan Liangzhe took one look and refused to leave the elevator.

The others weren't much better off, huddling in the corner of the elevator.

By this time, Nan Xiangwan had already walked out several meters, examining the walls.

The surrounding moldy smells were pungent, and there was a very strong scent of rust.

The floor was littered with assorted items, with a door at the end.

It was an iron door, heavy-looking, with a lock hanging on it.

On the door was a very small rectangular iron window, probably only the size of one or two clenched fists. You could peer through this window to see the inside.

Nan Xiangwan looked in to discover it was an enclosed room.

It was covered in spiderwebs inside, with bunk beds, and the room was so tiny that besides these bunk beds, there was absolutely no space left for anything else.

Moreover there were no windows, the only ventilation was that small iron opening on the door!

Danmu/Comments:

: What is this? A room for two children?

: Isn't this room too small? What crappy conditions!

: Look how low that ceiling is, yet they put in bunk beds, were they trying to smother two kids to death?

: The principal took all those hefty donations, and this is the condition he gave to two children? Is he still human?

: No worries no worries, they've become ghosts now, the spirit pen is getting revenge for the two kids!

: I'm completely behind the spirit pen this round!

: Turns out it was a good spirit pen!

Nan Xiangwan saw the lock and got a headache, calling back: "Come quick, there's a lock here!"

Gu Beihuai hurried over.

Behind them, the four pathetic losers were forced to speed up to not get left behind, almost running over.

Soon, six of them were crowded around this large lock researching how to get through.

The surrounding moldy smells were strong. This lock required a key, and the keyhole was also rusted with a little spider crawling out.

Ge Dongxuan swallowed: "There are still spiders..."

Sha Ling: "They made this so realistic, it's like we crossed over."

Guan Liangzhe: "After a few more episodes, you'll understand the crew's insane operations."

Lan Tianyou: "With this set up and scene, could they have really spent years preparing it?"

Gu Beihuai: "Overthinking. Why would they spend money like that? They used rapid rust agents, the little spider is also harmless."

The professional explanation triggered waves of "666" danmu praises.

Nan Xiangwan: "Let's first find the key, can't wait any longer."

Everyone began looking around separately for the key. The items covering the floor were heaped in piles, making it difficult to search.

Lan Tianyou had moved to the corner most area, flipping through a stack of archive bags. He had originally intended to see if there was anything hidden under the archive bags.

Unexpectedly...

Clack!

The mouth of the archive bag faced down and a key dropped out.

Everyone: "???"

Danmu: "???"

Crew: "!!!"
