Surviving in a School of Ghost Stories-Chapter 33

When I found it and got up from my seat, the guys hanging from the ceiling simultaneously raised their heads and looked down at me.

The upside-down faces all glared at me. Then they simultaneously opened their mouths and shouted strange sentences loudly as if they were breathing deeply.

“The night has deepened. He appeared. If our eyes meet, everyone will die. The night has deepened. If our eyes meet, everyone will die!!!”

It was hard to understand because he spoke without even breathing, but if you listened closely, the sentences were complete.

The night has deepened. He appeared. If our eyes meet, everyone will die.

What on earth does that mean?

While I was nervous and stopped walking for a moment, Senior Noah slowly got down from the bed across from me.

He put his index finger on the corner of his mouth and made a gesture telling me to be quiet.

‘Melody, can you do it?’

The shape of his mouth was saying that. I raised my head and looked up at the ceiling. It seemed like he was asking if I could fit a piece of glass.

Even though proper communication was difficult, we got along pretty well.

‘I said I was the only one who could destroy them.’

Since Noah couldn’t see them in the first place, I was the only one who could do this.

‘Let’s come to our senses and think.’

There was a chandelier next to the stained glass window on the ceiling. Below it, you could see a rather tall desk and chair.

I finished calculating the distance in a way that made the most of the terrain and nodded to Noah.

I saw Noah take out a vial of holy water from his arms.

He pulled the cork out of the vial.

Soon, he sprinkled the holy water toward the ceiling, and the skin of the evil spirits who had been baptized with the holy water burned.

Kkaaaaaaaaaah-!

Kkaaaaaaah!

The ones hanging from the ceiling like bats began to scream and squirm.

‘It was too accurate?’

He looked amazing for attacking them so accurately with just the energy he felt, even though the evil spirits were invisible.

“Melody, now.”

At Noah’s words, I came to my senses and quickly stepped on a nearby chair and a desk, jumping.

I then grabbed the chandelier hanging from the ceiling and hung on. As I stretched my arms up, the stained glass pieces fit into the holes as if they were being sucked in.

‘That’s it!’

However, at that moment, the chandelier couldn’t support the weight and fell down.

‘Ouch. I think I’m going to get hurt.’

I thought that and tightly closed my eyes, but nothing happened.

Noah ran down and caught me easily.

When I looked up, the evil spirits that were struggling on the ceiling were burning up as soon as the stained glass pieces fit together.

The scene of things hanging from the ceiling like bats burning was very impressive.

Soon, the ones who had turned to ash were nowhere to be seen.

Their ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) appearances disappeared because the medium disappeared, but that didn’t mean they were completely destroyed.

That’s because the destruction mark hadn’t appeared on me yet.

‘I told you to find the medium and then open or close the door.’

Door. You have to find an open door.

Senior Noah put me down on the floor with a calm face and pointed to another window this time.

“The window was open.”

The window next to the bed was open. Over there.

“Melody, can you close the door?”

Senior Noah could reach out and touch it, but he insisted on asking me.

‘Surely... I can’t be the only one who can open and close the door connecting the other world and the real world, right?’

I hesitated for a moment and immediately closed the window.

As expected, this door was the ‘door’ that connected the other world and the real world.

‘The student council president of 903 told me to keep a close watch. I guess that’s really why.’

At that moment, Father Cesario came back.

He looked at the state of the inside of the prayer room and shook the bell in his hand with a face of shock.

Tingling-

Then he closed the prayer room door and spat out holy water in front of it.

He clearly recited the prayer without drinking the holy water, but now that he was spitting out the holy water, it seems he had drunk the holy water after defeating the pretty ghost.

“You spit it out too.”

I followed him and spit out the holy water too.

“Hey Hastings, are you okay?”

Father Cesario checked my condition.

In the meantime, Senior Noah took out a handkerchief from his uniform pocket and personally covered my nose.

“My nose is bleeding.”

The priest said to me with an incredulous face.

‘Ouch. It stings.’

I lifted my arm. As expected, a cross tattoo was engraved on my arm and then disappeared.

The bastards had finally completely disappeared.

“Wait a minute.”

Father Cesario lifted my arm with a suddenly serious expression.

“What is this? Why do you have this mark?”

He questioned me with a much lower voice. I think he was talking about the mark of annihilation.

“I don’t know. This suddenly appeared.”

Father Cesario must have thought I wasn’t lying, as he looked at my arm, which had become smooth after the mark disappeared, with a serious expression.

“This is a mark that appears when evil spirits are annihilated. I’ve read about it in the Bible. This is the first time I’ve actually seen it. I don’t think anyone has ever seen this in history books.”

The priest, who had been quietly looking at me with a worried expression, said something somewhat meaningful.

“I think Melody would suit the student council better than the leadership team.”

“Huh? Why?”

My nose kept bleeding. It was so much that it even soaked Noah-senpai’s hand, which was still holding my nose. No, it was so much.

This time, Noah-senpai took out a different handkerchief and held it over my nose. It was the first time I’d seen a male student carrying two handkerchiefs.

In the meantime, Father Cesario continued his explanation.

“The student council is an unofficial ghost story investigation team. I’ll tell you again, it’s rare to find someone like you who can see them even in normal times.”

Unofficial ghost story investigation team? It was a name that the leadership team would probably get upset and interfere if they found out.

‘We should keep it a secret.’

As I was making that decision, the student council president touched the back of my neck with the other hand that wasn’t holding my nose.

“Bow your head slightly.”

I bowed my head obediently, following my senior’s words.

“I owe you something. Thanks to you, I solved the problem.”

“I’ll definitely pay you back later.”

I answered in a sullen voice.

Senior Noah, who had been holding my nose with a handkerchief, raised his head.

His deep, cold cobalt blue eyes stared at me. It felt as if my mind was being pierced.

After a long time, he answered.

“......I will.”

“Shouldn’t we go to the hospital first?”

Father Cesario, who was looking at us with his arms crossed and a fierce expression, said one word.

I briefly forgot that he was next to me. I shook my head, came to my senses, and answered.

“Yes. I’ll go to the hospital first.”

Of course, I had no intention of going to the hospital. It’s a bit much to go to the hospital with a nosebleed.

Besides, if I went to the hospital, the doctor would probably nag me about pretending to be sick again.

If I get sick, I can just take medicine.

There are plenty of over-the-counter medicines in my dorm room, so I should be able to handle it.

“Let’s go to the hospital first and talk again. I think we have a lot to talk about.”

I let Noah-senpai’s words go unnoticed. He seemed to have a lot to say to me, but I had nothing more to talk about.

Just like the student council president from 903 said, he seemed to know nothing now.

Above all, Noah-senpai and Father Cesario needed my abilities and doubted them at the same time.

“I heard that you can freely cross the gates of the other world. And you can not only see them, but also find the medium and destroy them?”

When Noah-senpai told me what had happened to me, he couldn’t help but be shocked.

Arriving at school through the gate of Cheswind Village. Opening the door in the elevator ghost story and returning to reality right away. Opening the hospital lobby door and moving to the cemetery cabin, etc.

“It’s something that an ordinary person might experience once or twice in their lifetime. If you’ve already experienced it three times, it’s no exaggeration to say that you have the ability to cross doors.”

You don’t need that ability.

It seems that I’m really the only one who can lock doors.

The student council president then added an explanation.

“As I said earlier, someone is intentionally creating ghost stories in the school. The doors connecting to the other world keep opening. With your ability, you can close those doors before the ghost stories occur.”

If the ghost stories have already occurred, it seems that the annoying and scary work of eliminating the medium and annihilating them must be done.

That way, there won’t be any casualties.

“Why on earth do you have that ability? Even though you were baptized, you’re not a priest and you don’t seem to have any faith.”

Father Cesario also had doubts.

‘Too accurate.’

I was forced to be baptized because of my deceased mother, and I didn’t believe in God.

‘Would they believe me if I said I came from the year 903?’

While thinking, I casually brought up the subject to them.

“I actually came from the future, a year later. From the year 903. That’s why I think I have these special abilities.”

Father Cesario and Senior Noah looked at me silently.

“You might not believe it, but it’s true.”

An uncomfortable silence continued.

Father Cesario, who had been staring at me, finally spoke after a long time.

“Did the ghost story make you uncomfortable? I didn’t mean to burden you.”

“There’s no need to turn it around and reject me like that.”

Senior Noah also added a word.

I knew this would happen. I knew you wouldn’t believe me. I closed my mouth with slightly sad eyes.

I shouldn’t have brought this up again. If Father Cesarius and Senior Noah don't believe in ghost stories and evil spirits, what about other people?

I sighed.
