Chapter 53 Hide-and-seek
After walking for a while, Liu Haoyu noticed that the two people behind him hadn’t followed, so he said.
“What are you still standing there for? Go find those two first.”
Liu Haoyu’s tone was a bit cold. He felt that the resentment of this academy… was a bit off.
It wasn’t as harmless as Bai Anting described, but an extremely aggressive kind of resentment!
“Okay… okay.”
Facing Liu Haoyu’s urging, Liu Siyi didn’t dare to dawdle. Supported by Li Xiangfei, she limped along.
Upon reaching the playground, Liu Haoyu shone his flashlight while looking for any clues around.
After searching for a few minutes, the beam of the flashlight focused on the ground.
Liu Haoyu frowned and said.
“These are the footprints of those two strong men… but there’s only one person’s footprint here.”
“His footsteps were very hurried, as if he was being chased by something.”
“As for the other person… I don’t know where he went.”
After hearing Liu Haoyu’s analysis, even the usually bold Li Xiangfei couldn’t help but ask.
“What could be chasing him?”
“I don’t know,” Liu Haoyu frowned and said, “Maybe some murderer.”
After speaking, Liu Haoyu stood up, picked up the fire axe, and walked forward, looking like he would rush to his death without turning back.
“You guys should leave quickly, I’ll go find them first.”
This made Liu Siyi even more dumbfounded.
If there really was a murderer, and he was still rushing forward, was his brain not working properly?
After Liu Haoyu had gone far, Liu Siyi grabbed Li Xiangfei’s hand and whispered, analyzing.
“Xiangfei… I feel that this person is not right, very not right! He’s likely the masked murderer the driver mentioned, let’s hurry and leave!”
To this, Li Xiangfei helplessly said.
“We recruited these two Bing family brothers. If something happens to them, we can’t escape responsibility, so we should hurry and find a way to find them first.”
As he spoke, Li Xiangfei suddenly realized that after just a moment of hesitation, Liu Haoyu, who had been in front of him, had disappeared without a trace.
Seeing him disappear, Liu Siyi became even more terrified and said.
“He’s that masked murderer! He’s wearing an axe and a mask to kill people. Those two must have been killed by him! Let’s hurry and leave!”
In her panic, Liu Siyi kept trying to call the police, but the signal here seemed to be blocked by a jammer. No matter how Liu Siyi called, it was useless.
Li Xiangfei also felt a slight urge to retreat.
But thinking of the two people whose lives and deaths were unknown, his conscience couldn’t abandon them.
However, staying here any longer might lead to a complete annihilation.
“Let’s find a place with a signal, call the police first, and then figure out how to save them!”
Li Xiangfei quickly analyzed what he needed to do, then supported Liu Siyi and headed towards the back door.
However, when he arrived at the back door and was about to climb over the wall, he heard a child’s pure and cute voice.
“Big brother, big sister… let’s play hide-and-seek together~”
This voice seemed to whisper in their ears, very close.
“Did… did you hear that?”
“I heard.”
Li Xiangfei swallowed, If the murderer’s situation could still be explained, but the child’s voice just now was definitely not something that could be explained by science!
“Run to the front door!”
The man supported the woman’s shoulder and ran quickly towards the school’s main entrance.
Compared to the back door.
The main entrance could be opened from inside the school.
So leaving from there was a good choice.
The two ran along the corridor, with continuous footsteps echoing in the corridor.
Looking from the corridor towards the playground, Liu Siyi found that under the dim moonlight, several children were playing in the center of the playground.
One of these children squatted down, covered his face with his hands, and said.
“Countdown one hundred!”
The child’s voice was not loud, and considering the distance from the corridor to the playground, at this volume, it absolutely couldn’t be heard in the corridor!
And more importantly…
It was midnight, how could there be children playing hide-and-seek here at this hour!?
Several children playing hide-and-seek in an empty school in the middle of the night? Something unusual is bound to happen!
“Whoever gets caught has to help me find others.”
“100, 99, 98…”
The innocent and playful voices of the children were undoubtedly sounds from hell to the two.
“Go!”
Li Xiangfei was also flustered at this moment.
This phenomenon was completely unexplainable, meaning this school was really haunted!
And a masked murderer had even entered.
“Didn’t a paranormal streamer come here before? Why is she fine!?”
Under the effect of fear, Liu Siyi even felt that her leg wasn’t hurting anymore.
All she wanted now was to escape quickly!
No one knew what would happen after the 100-second countdown, no one knew what the outcome would be if they were caught by that child.
The man and woman ran towards the school gate at full speed.
Before coming to this school, Liu Siyi, as a girl from the countryside who had been working alone in Jiangliu City.
Her personality was naturally strong, very serious about things and people, even a little strict.
Because of her strong personality, as a paranormal streamer, she didn’t pay much attention to these supernatural matters.
She thought they were just unfounded things.
Until she came to this school…
She had completely lost her composure.
“I shouldn’t have come to this place, this place is really haunted!”
Li Xiangfei was also extremely troubled.
“But we’ve been to so many places before and nothing happened…”
The two of them had been to many rumored haunted places, but nothing had ever happened, so they didn’t take Liu Haoyu’s warning to heart just now.
However, now, something really might happen.
“In any case, let’s leave this school first, and then call the police quickly!”
There were surveillance cameras at the main entrance, and under the surveillance cameras, they would feel a lot more at ease.
Even though they had moved away from the playground, the child’s soft whispering countdown continued.
“30, 29, 28…”
“The main gate is just ahead!”
The two rushed towards the main gate, but the hope on their faces didn’t last long before it turned into despair.
They saw that the gate was bound by dense black hair. No matter how Li Xiangfei pulled or burned it, he couldn’t break it.
The sound in their ears continued.
“Countdown~ 3, 2, 1… I’m coming to catch you! Whoever gets caught has to help me catch others.”
