Surviving in a School of Ghost Stories-Chapter 107
Perhaps because of the commotion from the second floor, some of the guys on the lower floor came up.
Fortunately, it wasn’t hard to find the remaining mediums. It was thanks to Kkamang.
Kkamang must have been quite frustrated that we couldn’t find the medium, so he ran around here and there diligently digging up hidden mediums.
That’s how we found the sixth medium.
Father Miella happened to be nearby, so we didn’t have to look for him separately, but the remaining victims would be in the direction of the escape route.
“The remaining evil spirits aren’t showing up.”
Senior Noah muttered.
“That’s right. The sorcerer is over there, so why isn’t he looking for me?”
The sorcerer doesn’t come looking for the hidden participants even when they’re walking around openly.
“Hastings, didn’t you hear a scream from the first floor earlier? Was I the only one who heard it?”
I tilted my head at Father Miella’s question. Was that so?
“I guess I’ll have to go down.”
Father Miella’s face paled at my answer. He had become haggard in the hour since we met.
“This is a dream.”
Father Miella muttered those words and recited the Catholic prayer. I left him behind and took Sister Gloria’s lantern and went down the stairs.
There was only enough holy water left to use once.
But I was so dizzy that I kept swaying. I had lost too much blood at once.
“I think it would be better to move after I recover.”
Senior Noah said as he supported my staggering body. I didn’t know that Father Miella, who was following me, was looking at me strangely.
Anyway, as Senior Noah said, I couldn’t have time to recover. There was only one left.
There seemed to be no more evil spirits on the second floor, so I didn’t answer and went down the stairs to the first floor. In Area 4, a man was standing with his robe hood pulled over his head.
The robe was covered in dark red blood, but strangely, the man’s clothes and skin were clean underneath.
‘I’ve seen this somewhere.’
It was dark, so I couldn’t see it clearly, but there was a necklace around his neck that said [Refill the Holy Water.]
The man was holding a tray, and there was holy water on it.
‘What? It wasn’t there just now.’
I looked down at the black one. The black one didn’t respond at all. It seemed like it wasn’t interested in the man, and was leisurely looking around.
I looked at the ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) entrance to Area 4 and suddenly thought. Where is the exit?
They clearly said that the victims were waiting at the exit, but I don’t know where the exit is. I went all the way from Area 1 to Area 7, but there was no place that looked like an exit.
‘Maybe there were no victims from the beginning?’
What if all this was just a ‘game’ by evil spirits?
“Melody. I think you may have been fooled by them. Maybe there were no victims here from the beginning.”
Senior Noah, who had been following me around and thinking about something, said. And then, as if to supplement his words, someone spoke to me.
“Senior, you were fooled. There were no victims from the beginning. It seems like it was just a game where each person would find their medium and leave.”
It was a man holding a tray of holy water.
“Eww...... Ugh!”
Father Miella played. I covered his mouth and looked at the man.
The man took off his hood. Platinum blonde hair and emerald eyes. It was Easton.
“Why are you here? What the hell is that sign and holy water? Why are you doing that?”
“I got caught up in it too. I wore a bloody robe, but I pretended to be one of them just in case. By the way, what’s next to you, Senior? I see something like a Commander.”
I glanced at Senior Noah at Easton’s words. As expected of a shaman, he must be feeling the Commander’s energy.
“It’s not a Commander, it’s Senior Noah. He said he had an out-of-body experience.”
Father Miella blinked with her mouth shut. It seemed like she couldn’t keep up with the flow of the conversation.
“We can get out of here if we just find the last medium.”
I answered as I held up Sister Gloria’s lantern and illuminated the surroundings.
‘Wait.’
I looked at the lantern and suddenly realized.
When I first came to the ‘other world,’ didn’t I think ‘Sister Gloria’s lantern’ was my medium? I don’t know why I forgot about it.
“The last medium is here too. Let’s go out. To the entrance of Zone 1.”
Everyone nodded when I nodded.
Father Miela, whose mouth was shut, remained quiet even after I took my hand away. Perhaps it was because he had sensed the ominous atmosphere.
I found it.
I found it. freewebnoveℓ.com
Where are you going! Play with me!
Let’s play!
Where are you going! Where are you going!
At that moment, someone followed us from behind and shouted in a creepy voice.
Father Miela looked behind him and screamed in horror.
“Eww! What is that!”
I also looked behind him and quietly turned my head.
A woman doing a handstand was running after us. I was getting impatient. I ran a little faster, but the woman was so fast that we caught up in an instant.
Kyaak!
The black cat hissed at him, but the cat ignored him and ran towards us.
“Black cat!”
At my call, the black cat ran quickly towards me. He was so fast that he passed the woman in an instant and came to us.
After passing through Zone 3 and Zone 2, we finally reached Zone 1.
Where are you going! Play with me!
Let’s play!
Then, after leaving Zone 1 and standing in the lobby, I put down the lantern and got into position.
Now, I had to seal the remaining evil spirits before opening the door and going out.
I held my breath and waited for her to come right up to me.
The woman running at a fast speed had her face down because she was doing a handstand, and her bloodshot eyes were shedding tears of blood.
She was getting closer. As I got closer, she opened her mouth wide and laughed as if she was excited. Her bloodshot eyes grew even bigger with anticipation.
50 meters,
30 meters,
10 meters
Now right in front of us.
I sprinkled the last drop of holy water on the body of the woman who was just jumping out of Zone 1, and then pressed down on it with the cross to destroy it.
Chiik-
Kaaaaah!
The body of the female demon who was standing on her head turned to ashes and disappeared.
I roughly blocked the blood flowing from my nose with a handkerchief and looked back at Father Miella and Easton.
“Let’s go.”
Then I held the black one in my arms and took everyone out, opening the front door of the <House of the Dead>.
When I went out the door, I saw people gathered in the yard. Among them were the town police.
“Sister!!!!”
Raven, who was being questioned by the police, ran towards me, shouting my name almost as if he was going to have a fight.
Father Miella sat down in a daze, and Easton took off his bloody robe and caught his breath.
I looked at Noah in Raven’s arms.
There was a problem.
“This is a big deal.”
Noah answered as if he was troubled.
Even though he had come over to the real world, Noah was still the same.
Which means he was still in a state of astral projection.

St. Gloria Private School Hospital.
I looked at the hospital bed with the name Noah Eugene Eglinton on it with a troubled face.
The student council members stood around the bed where Noah was sleeping with worried faces.
“What did the doctor say?”
Liam and Henry shook their heads at my question.
“They don’t know the cause.”
Are you really a quack?
[It seems difficult for a doctor to know about astral projection.]
Noah answered calmly. It’s his own business, so how can he be so indifferent?
As I left ‘The World Beyond’, my senior’s voice seemed to echo in my head. It felt as if our souls were communicating.
I was the only one who knew that my senior was right next to me.
Even Shaman Easton couldn’t see my senior, but could only feel his energy, and even then, he often didn’t notice unless he focused his senses.
“I should go see the Dean of Academic Affairs.”
I muttered as I left Noah’s hospital room, but my senior stopped me.
[If the Dean of Academic Affairs was the ‘visible one’ and wanted me to be in this state, direct questioning might not be a good idea.]
“Then what should I do?”
[We’ll have to wait and see. If the Dean of Academic Affairs was really the culprit, I thought about why he did that. No matter how much I thought about it, the only reason I could think of was to tie me up before the 100th anniversary event.]
“Why? What’s happening during the 100th anniversary event?”
[To end the Night of the Dead, the student representative is scheduled to perform the sealing ceremony that Sister Gloria performed 100 years ago at Sister Gloria’s Sealing Ball.]
Student representative. Since Noah is the student body president, it was natural that he would be the one performing the sealing ceremony.
“People will be walking around holding candles. They are blessed candles. The dead will try to avoid these candles, and we will guide them to the ‘other world.’”
“At the end of the village festival parade, there is a cliff leading to the sea. There is a sealing ball that Sister Gloria made.”
“Well. It’s just a superstition, but the villagers still believe that the sealing ball will seal away ghosts. It’s ridiculous, but it’s fun.”
I thought about the sealing ball that Leonard had told me about.
“Are you saying that the Dean of Academic Affairs interfered with the sealing ceremony that Senior was trying to perform? Why?”
[If the goal was to unseal the evil spirits, then there was no way we could have let him do something like seal them. We had to stop him from doing anything during the 100th anniversary event.]
How could we stop that?
While I was lost in thought, Senior Noah came up with a plan and said.
[Melody, I think it would be best for you to be the student representative. I’ll help you.]
I just came to save my younger brother, but I couldn’t figure out how I ended up becoming the student representative.
