Chapter 083: Take Her ■■ to the Art Classroom

Chapter 083: Take Her ■■ to the Art Classroom

Ryou Fujibayashi's gaze fell on Lin Ye's side profile, her eyes shimmering with light. She tugged at his sleeve, and with her red lips slowly parting, she spoke:

"Thank you, Lin-kun."

One simple sentence, filled with Ryou Fujibayashi is gratitude.

Facing the strange female entity so close, she could only feel endless fear, her mind going blank, her body completely frozen in place.

Without Lin Ye, she would certainly have died.

"You're Miss Ren is friend, and also mine. Helping you is only natural. Would Miss Ryou just watch as I fall into danger and not help me?"

Ryou Fujibayashi immediately shook her head in denial.

"Of course I would help you, Lin-kun. But since we entered this building, it's always been you helping me."

She felt that she hadn't really done anything for Lin Ye.

"Miss Ryou seems to have forgotten that when we first entered this building, and when the strange woman appeared, everyone else ran, but you rushed back to the classroom, trying to get me out with you."

As soon as the words were spoken, Otaku and the blonde woman, Chiharu, both had a slight change in expression. At that time, they were too focused on running to notice that Lin Ye had stayed behind in the classroom.

At that moment, they both understood the position and importance Ryou Fujibayashi held in Lin Ye's heart. If it came down to saving only one person, Lin Ye would definitely choose Ryou Fujibayashi.

The blonde woman looked at Ryou Fujibayashi, and jealousy began to spread within her. She was more beautiful than her and received special attention. Why?

"Well... actually, without me, Lin-kun could have escaped on his own,"

Ryou Fujibayashi's voice grew softer, with a hint of weakness, making one feel an urge to protect her.

But Lin Ye quickly suppressed this thought. Now was not the time to be bullying Ryou Fujibayashi.

"Brother Lin, what should we do next? That strange woman can obviously appear in her seat at any time. We won't be able to get any important clues from the desk, will we?"

'Clatter…'

A few books were thrown into a pile of textbooks, creating a distinct sound.

At that moment, Otaku froze.

"That's amazing, Brother Lin. Not only did you save Miss Ryou, but you even brought out the books. As expected of you! I was just thinking of suggesting that we lure the strange woman away to get the clues from her desk. Now we don't need to do that at all."

He couldn't hide his excitement.

They didn't need to take the risk of going back to Class F of the second year.

Otaku knew very well how dangerous his suggestion was. It would require the cooperation of two people, and since Ryou Fujibayashi couldn't be part of that, either he or the blonde woman would have to go to the desk to gather clues from the strange woman's seat.

He had a 50% chance of being chosen, and because he was the one who suggested it, he might have even more chance, but now it was all unnecessary.

They no longer had to take the risk.

The three books were quickly flipped through. There were two notes in total, with the content being mostly the same, but the details differed.

The group began reading.

[I am ■■■■, when you...]

A lot of the text was the same, and a large section in the middle had been erased by some force.

Lin Ye quickly continued reading:

[Her power comes from fear, she is attracted by ■■.]

[You can stay in the teacher's office to avoid danger, but be aware of the time.]

[Don't ■■, don't ■■, absolutely don't ■■.]

[When the sun rises, you will survive.]

[Or... maybe find her ■■ and take it to the art classroom.]

[Then you can ■■ leave here.]

[Her ■■ is in ■■.]

…

"The crucial information is once again affected by some mysterious force."

Otaku complained, but at least the second note filled in the missing details from the first one.

"Brother Lin, what do you think? The other option seems to be for us to find something of hers and bring it to the art classroom. Then we'll be able to survive and leave."

It sounds simple, but it's not that simple.

What could this item be?

But since it was something belonging to her, it was likely related to a specific place, such as her seat or a locker.

This meant that if they wanted to obtain this item, they would have to face the danger she posed.

"Could it be something she loved in life? Maybe a bracelet, pendant, earrings, ring, or something like that?"

Ryou Fujibayashi offered her guess.

"I've seen a lot of supernatural horror movies with my sister. After someone dies, their soul can sometimes reside in special objects. Could it be that the missing keywords refer to an item that holds her soul?"

Lin Ye didn't respond right away, but Ryou Fujibayashi nervously added:

"If I'm wrong, just pretend I didn't say anything…"

Lin Ye gently patted Ryou Fujibayashi's shoulder, signaling for her to relax. "Miss Ryou, your guess is very useful. Possession items are definitely something we should consider. Besides that, I think the body, bones, or even hair could be possibilities."

Hair?

But thinking of the strange woman's hair, which could grow and be used as a weapon, it wasn't entirely impossible that hair was their target item.

But the entire building was a search area. How would they find it?

"Let's head to the art classroom first."

There must be new clues there.

The four of them left the staff office one after another. Compared to the safety of the office, the hallway outside felt much colder, and the danger was palpable.

The night wind blew, making them shiver.

But Ryou Fujibayashi and the others gritted their teeth, gathering the courage to continue forward.

They couldn't afford to be afraid.

Ryou Fujibayashi kept repeating the tips from the note in her mind.

The four of them quickly searched the second floor and couldn't find the art classroom, so they headed to the third floor.

But the third floor still didn't have the art classroom.

Lin Ye also checked the first-year B and E classrooms on the third floor, but both were locked and inaccessible.

After silently noting those two classrooms, Lin Ye and the others arrived on the fourth floor.

On the way, everything was calm. They didn't encounter the strange woman at all. It was as if she had given up on them and stopped pursuing them.

Finally,

On the fourth floor, the third classroom on the west side was the art classroom.

When they found it, Otaku and the blonde woman exchanged looks, their expressions slightly unusual.

"Lin-kun, we originally hid in that classroom,"

Otaku pointed to the classroom at the end of his finger. The two classrooms were only separated by two other classrooms, very close together.

They had passed by the key classroom at the time. Maybe if they had hidden in the art classroom, they would have been safe and sound, and perhaps even found some useful clues.

The blonde woman also thought of this, and then thought of her boyfriend, Kyozaki.

"Sigh!"

Her boyfriend, Kyozaki, had already been killed by the strange woman!

At this moment,

Otaku gripped the doorknob and slowly turned it.

'Creak...'

The door slowly opened.

Silence. No sound. A faint smell of paint wafted in.

This was the art classroom.
