I awkwardly followed everyone's movements, like a puppet on a conveyor belt following the female monitor.

Obviously, when I escaped just now, I didn't see any stairs in the corridor.

Once the female monitor appeared, the stairs at the corner suddenly existed.

Then we stepped onto the stairs, from the aerial staircase of the sixth floor, into another teaching building.

I saw the prominent number 8 on the wall of this teaching building.

How could it be number 8?

After a fatal accident at the school a year ago, the teaching building removed its numerical designation.

It is now renamed "Xuezhi Building."

So, when I saw this familiar but nonexistent Building 8, a sense of foreboding welled up in my heart.

Entering the gym, the female monitor took out a basket of balls: "Those who hit the goal frame continue to line up, those who don't..." Her expression became more and more excited, pointing to the window high up, "then jump from here!"

I was horrified because the student who died a year ago jumped from a window to his death!

And what she was doing now was clearly trying to get us killed!

"Let's start with you!" She pointed at the classmate who was first in the lineup, who happened to be my deskmate!

I desperately tried to stop in my throat, but to no avail.

Obviously, from a distance of twenty meters, my deskmate had no way to hit the goal frame.

The female monitor laughed sharply, her tone eerie and excited: "What a pity, you got it wrong."

I stood frozen in place, watching my deskmate walk towards the windowsill, falling down like a kite.

"Next!" The female monitor commanded in an orderly manner.

And in my ears, that voice rang out again.

"Close your eyes!"

"Don't look at her."

I didn't know who she was, but I had to obey.

After closing my eyes, my body gradually regained mobility.

This time, I didn't dare to be reckless or open my eyes, but...

Suddenly, a cold breath swirled around me, making me so frightened that I opened one eye slightly.

At that moment, a face that looked ferocious because it was too close was in front of me: "Student, you've made me angry..."

While I still had control over my body, I rushed out of the gym like my life depended on it.

When I reached the corridor with its dark green wall paint, I saw what seemed like endless darkness at the end.

At this moment, a familiar voice invaded my mind again: "Go to the restroom, I'm waiting for you there!"

And behind me, there was the panting of the female monitor chasing after me. I became more and more panicked, and I had no choice but to follow the instructions and rush into the restroom.

The restroom was empty, and there was no one waiting for me, fortunately, the female monitor didn't barge in for some reason.

On the countertop of the sink, there was a note with sloppy handwriting.

The first line read: These are some rules that can help you escape from here. You must take these rules seriously and remember them.

"1 Try not to attract the attention of the class monitor, or she will kill you."

"2 The restroom is the safest place, but you cannot stay in for more than three minutes."

"3 If you encounter any danger, you can go to the counselor's office, but don't go in if there are voices inside."

The handwriting in the next two lines became more rushed and anxious, and they were written in red.

"4 There are no stairs in this teaching building, so never go downstairs whenever you see stairs!"

"5 If you find me, never trust me!"

But the last line contradicted the previous two.

"6 Do not believe what is written in red ink"

"7 Oppo..."

As the writing approached the end, the handwriting seemed to be flying, indicating a rushed ending.

I quickly glanced at my digital watch and realized that the three minutes were almost up.

But the voice became weaker and weaker: "You must leave here before the end of the class bell! Otherwise, the entire Building 8 will disappear..."

I hurriedly looked at my watch, calculating that if one class was 45 minutes, I only had 35 minutes left!

But I still didn't know how to leave from here!

"Who are you?" I shouted loudly into the air, "How do I leave?"

But the only answer I received was

The mysterious and sharp voice of the female monitor outside the door: "Student, have you finished in the restroom?"
