Chapter 25: Cheating

Chau Chi Bao's group had actually chosen to go to the principal's office.

[It's unbelievable. They chose to see a butterfly.]

[Haha! Well, let them see, let's look closely at the butterfly.]

[Look closely at its shape.]

[Look closely, see its curse.]

[Look closely, see the weirdness in it...]

...

Close the content of the novel.

Hoang Tuan looked at the situation in front of him.

Through the old, foggy, cracked window, dim light seeped into the room.

It had the same area as the principal's office, also white-painted walls, but with an added partition curtain in the middle, and a small hospital bed placed behind it.

The items in this room were really not sufficient.

When pushing the door to enter,

Near the window was a desk similar to the one in the principal's office, next to the desk was a black carbon-colored chair that looked like it had been struck by lightning.

Opposite the desk was a row of iron chairs, but now the row was almost entirely rusty, basically unable to sit.

Beside the door were several trunks filled with various items, probably soaked in water, some trunks were already broken, and the items were scattered on the ground...

The smell of expired medicine filled the room, making everyone slightly uncomfortable.

On the left side of the desk was a yellowed curtain, behind the curtain was a small hospital bed.

Opposite the hospital bed was a tall wooden cabinet leaning against the wall.

The cabinets were also covered in dust.

Beside the cabinet was a pile of A4 papers...

This was the medical room,

That was also the next question that Hoang Tuan would find the answer to.

At this point, after the exam ended,

There was still half an hour left.

After receiving the answer on the playground, Hoang Tuan didn't stay too long and went directly to this place.

Although Hoang Tuan knew that Chau Chi Bao's group over there was helping Nguyen Thoai and the others find a way to solve the questions to get them out of this world as soon as possible.

But he had no intention of meeting that group at this time.

Hoang Tuan felt that since they had mentioned that someone from some organization was coming to rescue them, there would naturally be some abilities.

He also wanted to see through the novel.

What was unusual about those two...

So,

Hoang Tuan chose the school's medical room, which was in the opposite direction to them.

...

Medical room.

Next to the cabinet...

Nguyen Ha Trang looked at the items arranged in rows inside the wooden cabinet.

On the shelves, there were full of dust and cobwebs.

Placed on them were small black vials.

Most of the vials were light-absorbing and most of the labels were blurred, making it difficult to see what was inside.

The reason why Nguyen Ha Trang paid attention to these was that she vaguely saw a strange word "tongue" on each of the blurry labels.

"Is this medicine..."

"Related to the tongue?"

Nguyen Ha Trang carefully took the vial out of the cabinet and reported her findings to the others.

The remaining people didn't have any gains elsewhere.

Finally, their attention shifted to the black vial...

For the strange vial in front of him, Hoang Tuan thought he could open it and take a look, who knew he might discover something.

So, with caution.

Nguyen Ha Trang hesitated for a while, then tried to pull the rubber stopper on the vial...

Puff!

A burst of air pressure was released from the vial's mouth.

It seemed that because the vial had been opened, the pungent smell in the air seemed to become even stronger.

However,

Before Nguyen Ha Trang could look inside to see what was inside.

A strange insect like a centipede suddenly crawled out of it, and Nguyen Ha Trang jerked back and involuntarily threw the small vial on the ground.

"What, what is that?"

Le Na's emotions were the most easily excited among the four, and she looked at the insect quickly crawling on the ground, stepping back unconsciously.

"Be careful."

Tran Binh An supported Le Na's body from behind, although he was also scared when the insect suddenly crawled out of the vial at this time, he still used the courage that a man should have to comfort Le Na.

The strange insect crawled quickly.

After falling to the ground,

It quickly turned around and crawled toward the bottom of the cabinet.

Thump!

However,

Without waiting for the insect to successfully crawl into the bottom of the cabinet.

Hoang Tuan's shoe had mercilessly stepped on them.

Because he was worried that the insect was not dead or that it would use some drilling skills along the shoe sole and crawl into his foot, Hoang Tuan quickly pressed it down after stepping on it.

Lifting his foot.

The crushed insect could not survive...

Hoang Tuan waited for about half a minute, and after seeing that the mouth of the vial no longer had anything crawling out, he squatted down to pick up the small bottle that Nguyen Ha Trang had thrown on the ground and looked inside.

In the black vial.

Apart from the worm crawling out, there was still a black lump.

But because the vial had been here for too long.

It couldn't distinguish what it was anymore.

"Tongue?"

Hoang Tuan looked at the label on the vial, and a thought couldn't help but appear in his mind: "Could it be similar to an ancient legend, using some organs to raise this kind of insect ..."

He turned back to look at the other vials on the shelf.

Maybe to confirm his guess.

Hoang Tuan then found two other black vials with barely visible labels among them.

"Eye" and "Ear" were written on them.

Frowning at the vial in his hand, Hoang Tuan thought about the strange things in this school.

"So besides what's written in the principal's diary, there are many strange things in this school... So, could the missing students be related to the pond behind the flower garden and the medical room?"

"Anyway, to take human organs, there must be a way to take them..."

Hoang Tuan put the medicine bottle in his hand down.

He seemed to have some clues about the school.

From various events he had encountered so far, he felt like he had touched on a reason that had existed before and made this school a "haunted school."

"This story seems not as simple as on the train, just scaring and killing people, but behind it must be some kind of secret."

End of speculation.

Hoang Tuan opened his novel's content board again to check the situation of Nguyen Thoai and the others.

As he had predicted, they did have some abilities.

After Chau Chi Bao and the others arrived at the principal's office, they first encountered exorcisms, and then they encountered monsters crawling out of the portraits in the hallway.

Unlike Hoang Tuan's violent approach...

They took out a mysterious mirror from their bodies to attract the attention of the exorcisms and the portrait monsters.

Then, using the time to delay, they found the butterfly hiding in the dark corner of the principal's office...

If they continued like this.

Hoang Tuan estimated that it wouldn't be long before they found the answer to the multiple-choice question in the principal's office.

Of course,

Actually, it would be good to find the answer smoothly.

For Hoang Tuan,

There was only good and no bad.

In here, he could see the situation of the other side through the novel's content. If they made the correct choices, as long as the "novel's author" didn't skip the answering process, then Hoang Tuan in the medical room could see the answer through the story's content.

In this way, he didn't need to go to the principal's office anymore.

Consider it as a kind of cheating.

Reduce the troublesome things to be solved.

After confirming that they didn't need his help in the principal's office, Hoang Tuan only needed to focus all his thoughts here.

At this time, he looked around the situation around the medical room and started to think about the content of the question.

["Question Four: What should you do if you hear strange sounds in the school's medical room?"]

["A, hide in the medicine cabinet; B, hide under the hospital bed; C, block the door and make no noise; D, hold your breath."]

...

"So... to hear strange sounds in this medical room, how do we activate them?"

Hoang Tuan felt a little headache.

He had wasted five minutes here, and he still hadn't found a way to activate the strange sounds mentioned in the question.

His time was not much left, and there were still no signs of demons appearing, continuing like this, the remaining tasks would not be completed.

Hoang Tuan felt that he had never expected a demon to appear so many times now.

"What's the problem?"

Hoang Tuan was a little confused...

He looked at the expressions of the other three and gradually sank into thought.

Thinking about how to activate the strange sounds in this medical room...

A while later,

Only then did Hoang Tuan notice.

In many horror novels, when encountering strange events, it was usually when they separated from the team and only had themselves alone.

And Hoang Tuan still didn't know how to activate the strange sound in the question, based on horror story logic, the number of people might be related!

This kind of usual setting was arranged when everyone gathered together, so that no matter how strange the place was, it would become a normal place, and there would be no abnormality.

This might be the reason why there was no appearance of demons.

If that was the case...

Then if they all stayed here together, that might lead to——

The strange sound in the question not appearing.

"Everyone, go outside first, I'll stay here alone."

Hoang Tuan glanced at the school outside the window, then turned around and said to the other three.

"Huh? Are you sure?"

Tran Binh An also thought that he might have misheard, unable to help asking back.

Hoang Tuan had told them about the guesses of the previous test questions, and Nguyen Ha Trang and the others, of course, knew that there might be demons in the places mentioned in the questions.

If they all stayed in one place, perhaps they could take care of each other.

Wouldn't the danger level increase much if he stayed alone in a place like this?

"Um, just wait for me outside."

Hoang Tuan repeated his words, confirming to them that they heard correctly.

In fact, Hoang Tuan knew that putting himself in such a dangerous place would be very risky.

But if he didn't try, he really didn't know how to hear the strange sound, to find the answer to the question.

This was something that must be done.

Staying alone in the presence of demons would increase the danger factor by several times, that was a common occurrence in any horror story.

Moreover, what followed was misfortune when he chose wrong, and maybe Hoang Tuan had to use "words" to escape.

On the other hand, Hoang Tuan wasn't happy to waste words at this time.

After all,

Hoang Tuan had paid attention.

The "Deception" sign of a lying school was expected.

Until now, there was still no appearance...

This school might be more complicated than he thought, and his words might not be enough to use...
