Chapter 0055 – Five Girls

　　The chair was placed in the middle of the corridor, and if you wanted to enter the second floor, you would inevitably pass by it.

　　The previous encounter at the entrance of the girls’ apartment was still fresh in Chen Ge’s mind, and the chair seemed to actively approach living people.

　　He hid at the corner of the stairs, somewhat hesitant.

　　”With a backrest, this chair is completely different from the chairs in the classroom of the activity center, it should have been specially moved from somewhere else, but why did they throw this chair in the activity center?”

　　Looking at the style, the chairs on the second floor of the activity center were the same as the chairs in the girls’ apartment building, and they should be the apartment chairs that the school issued to each student.

　　Chen Ge used his cell phone to take a picture of the door plate of the room across the street, which had words like vocal music written on it, “The dance studio isn’t on the second floor, so why don’t I just go up to the third floor? But what if there’s also a chair in the middle of the third floor corridor? By then I’ll be chased by it to the corner of the stairs and blocked by the chair on the second floor on the way down ……”

　　With that somewhat}human image flashing in his mind, Chen Ge thought for a moment, didn’t avoid it, and gripped the tool hammer to enter the second floor corridor.

　　The dark corridor, could not see the end at a glance, the doors of the rooms on both sides were all closed tightly, the windows on the doors were covered in dust and blurred, and it was impossible to see what exactly was hidden in the classrooms.

　　Chen Ge walked very slowly, he didn’t ignore anything else just because the chair was close by.

　　In fact, in Chen Ge’s opinion, those unused classrooms on both sides were actually a little more intimidating.

　　”I don’t know how long it’s been since anyone came in this place, the floor tiles are covered in dust, and the footprints can’t be disposed of, so if that person following me also enters the activity center, he’ll definitely find me.” Being in such a bizarre environment, Chen Ge did not forget to use two minds to be alert to possible third parties, “I’m going to speed up and make it quick!”

　　The cell phone light swayed as Chen Ge’s arm swayed, and he was getting closer and closer to that chair.

　　”There doesn’t seem to be anything to be afraid of? Can a chair still kill me?” Chen Ge circled around the chair, which gave him the impression that it was a very ordinary chair.

　　”Should I take it apart and have a look?” Chen Ge thought so in his heart and did so in his hands, he raised his tool hammer to put the chair down and suddenly saw something written underneath the chair.

　　”Qian Yujiao? Like a girl’s name.”

　　The appearance of this name reinforced Chen Ge’s previous guess that the chair was indeed not original to the activity center, but belonged to a certain person.

　　When the school held large-scale events, it would let students bring their own chairs to participate, and to prevent confusion, many people would write their names underneath the chairs.

　　”Is there a name underneath the chairs in the girls’ apartments as well?” Chen Ge memorized this name in his heart, he thought about not smashing the chair and instead put it into the middle of the classroom next to him, “The longer I stay, the more uncomfortable I feel, I’d better hurry to the third floor.”

　　He returned the same way and followed the stairs to the third floor.

　　There was nothing in the empty corridor, Chen Ge pushed open the doors of a few classrooms, the desks and chairs inside were piled up at the back of the houses, some of the walls were freshly painted, and two different colors could be clearly seen.

　　”The school is going to be closed, why do you need new paint at this time? Who is the decoration for?” The encounter at Ping An Apartment instantly brought an idea to Chen Ge’s mind, “The freshly painted walls should be to cover up something.”

　　He cut the wall skin with a tool hammer, and what struck him as strange was that the wall behind the new paint was normal, and there were no bloodstains or things like women’s hair as he had imagined.

　　”It can’t be that simple.” He wandered through several classrooms and realized that not every classroom had areas of fresh paint, and the few patches of fresh paint were close to the building’s drains.

　　”Before the school was closed, the building’s drainage system should have been reinstalled.” Chen Ge tilted his head and looked, “The classrooms on the first and second floors of the activity center can all show traces of use, except for the classrooms on the third floor that seem to have been discontinued before the school was closed.”

　　The desks and chairs were stacked together, there wasn’t even a single piece of chalk on the podium, and some of the classroom doors were even locked.

　　”Haunted? Murdered? A safety hazard?” There were many reasons for being blocked, and Chen Ge couldn’t be sure, so he exited the classroom and walked towards the fourth floor again.

　　Stepping on the stairs, Chen Ge turned back from time to time, and that chair didn’t come after him.

　　When he walked to the middle of the third and fourth floors, he found that there was a wooden board standing on the stairs with the words Forbidden to Enter written on it, and there were also a few lines pulled with a rope around the board.

　　Having walked here, how could Chen Ge return just because of a broken wooden board, he put the board aside and directly drilled through under the rope.

　　Arriving on the fourth floor, Chen Ge saw at a glance that there was a door plate with paint falling off hanging on the door of the room facing the stairs.

　　”Dance Room!” After poking around in the activity center for so long, he finally found the place where the red dancing shoes were most likely to appear.

　　The layout of the fourth floor was not quite the same as the other floors, with several classrooms being opened up in the middle and merged into one.

　　Tearing off the seal on the door and prying open the lock, Chen Ge pushed open the door of the dance studio that had been dusty for several years.

　　Time seemed to have forgotten this place, and everything remained the same as it was a few years ago.

　　The smooth wooden floor was covered in dust, and the room emitted a strange smell that could not be described; it seemed that a large amount of deodorant had been sprayed here, but because of the lack of air circulation and the fact that it had been sealed for so many years, the smell of the deodorant itself had deteriorated into a new kind of stench.

　　Chen Ge entered it by sticking to the wall, this dance studio was very professional, the wooden floor was rubberized for the convenience of the students practicing dance, and it seemed to be afraid that the audio sound would be too loud and affect the other classrooms downstairs, there was sound-absorbing cotton pasted on the walls, and sound-proofing panels were installed.

　　”This is the first time I’ve seen such a big dance studio.” Chen Ge raised his cell phone and shone it into the distance.

　　The walls were equipped with wall-mounted handle bars that could be freely adjusted in height, and underneath was a row of low seats for students to rest.

　　At the other end of the dance studio, six floor-to-ceiling mirrors were placed side by side, the mirrors were seamlessly put together, and each mirror was about one meter wide and roughly two meters high.

　　”I almost forgot that there were mirrors in the dance studio as well.” Looking at the floor-to-ceiling mirrors that covered the walls, Chen Ge sucked in a breath of cool air, and in the middle of the mirrors right in the middle, there were three chairs with backrests.

　　”Three of them at the same time?” Chen Ge gritted his teeth and took the initiative to walk towards those three chairs, his every move showing up in the mirror.

　　In the dance studio in the early hours of the morning, looking at himself in the mirror, the closer Chen Ge got the more bottomless his heart became.

　　He resisted the urge to smash the mirror and placed the three chairs down, and just like the one he had seen before, there was a girl’s name written underneath each chair.

　　”Counting the chair in the girl’s apartment, I’ve seen a total of five chairs, if each chair represents a girl, then what exactly has happened to these five girls?”
