Chapter 1396 Air Raid Shelter (It’s starting to get colder and rainy today)

Before going there, Duanmu Huai asked Sha Jiuye about the air-raid shelter. Indeed, according to Sha Jiuye, most students knew about the air-raid shelter. Because it was located on the hill behind the playground on the west side of the school, it was said that it was dug in the past to avoid air raids. Of course, it is more like a warehouse at present, mainly used to store some disaster relief supplies, and some props that are not used on weekdays and are only used for large-scale activities.

Therefore, except for some senior students who went to the air-raid shelter to get things for cultural festivals or sports meets, other people basically would not go near that place.

According to Sakuya, the place gave people a creepy feeling, and since the school was full of girls, not many people were brave enough, so no one would go near it on weekdays. She had once gone in to move props, but Sakuya said that there was nothing special about the air-raid shelter...at least that was what she thought.

But now…………

“Hehehe…”

Duanmu Huai raised his head and frowned slightly at Menmu Sanatori, who was walking in circles like a bird. It was already sunset, and the students had left the school long ago because of the end of the school day, either going back to the dormitory or going home. The huge campus suddenly became as quiet as a ghost town, not to mention that they were now walking through the path in the woods to the air-raid shelter. If it were anyone else, they would definitely be very nervous.

However, at this moment, Myoume-Satori acted as relaxed and excited as if she was going on a picnic... as if she had no fear at all.

Staring at the figure of Menme Sanatori, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but recall what the petite girl who looked like a junior high school student said to him after he conducted an investigation in the dormitory.

"In terms of strength, Princess Satori is second only to Princess Tsukiyo among the Five Swords, but in my opinion, she is a monster. No one can understand what Princess Satori is thinking, or maybe she is thinking nothing. In fact, many times Princess Satori will make some plans, but that is not for a certain goal, and she does not care about the benefits of doing so. In short, she does this just because humans use strategies... So, in my opinion, she is more of a monster that imitates human behavior than a human being."

Duanmu Huai didn't not understand what the girl meant. Monsters can't understand the meaning of human behavior. They only know that humans will do it, so they will imitate it. Indeed, the Mianmu Satori in front of him also gave people this feeling, although she acted very cheerful and looked like she was going on a spring outing in the wild. But Duanmu Huai couldn't feel any happiness and joy from the atmosphere she exuded, just like those electronic pets in the game, when it rubs against the player or wags its tail, it doesn't really mean that it likes you, but is simply a code command set feedback.

Duanmu Huai felt the same way about Menmu Sanori. She was not happy at all, nor did she have any expectations or purpose. She was like a shell with nothing on the outside. Perhaps even she herself did not know why she was acting like this.

But that's true, after all, the SAN value has been reset to zero.

"It's right here~~~"

At this time, Menmu Sanatori also stopped and pointed forward with a smile. Duanmu Huai raised his head and followed the direction of Menmu Sanatori's finger. He saw a dark hole on the hill not far away. He walked closer and saw steps leading down. Next to it was an iron plate with the words "Refuge", but the iron plate was rusty due to the passage of time.

Duanmu Huai picked up his cell phone, turned on the flashlight, and walked down the stairs, while Menmu Sanatori followed behind him, humming an incomprehensible song.

Walking down the stairs, the first thing you see is a heavy iron door, which is not locked, but ajar. Duanmu Huai reached out and pushed the door open, then walked into the hall.

The entire air-raid shelter was unusually cold, but as an underground building, this was natural. Duanmu Huai reached out and touched the switch next to him and turned it on. The dim light bulb flickered a few times and then lit up, illuminating the originally extremely dark space.

It seems there is still electricity here.

Duanmu Huai retracted his gaze and began to carefully examine the warehouse in front of him with the help of the dim light. In one corner of the warehouse, there were some railings similar to those used for obstacle races, and some large deflated balls. It was obviously a place where the school stored items. On the other side, there were several tattered beds, and in the middle were several desks and chairs. However, these desks and chairs were not stacked up like in the warehouse, but were scattered separately, as if someone had set up a classroom here.

Apart from that, the entire air-raid shelter looked very empty and one could see the end at a glance - it was obvious that there was no one here.

Neither the dead nor the living.

In short, let's go take a look at those desks first. Maybe if we're lucky, we can find some clues.

Duanmu Huai thought of this and walked forward. He came to the desk and looked at it carefully. Then he chose a desk facing the door and reached out to press it.

“Whoosh!”

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from below and rushed towards the gate. However, when the black shadow rushed to the gate, Duanmu Huai only saw a flash of cold light, and then the long sword in Mianmu Satori's hand nailed the black shadow to the ground.

It was a huge rat.

Its head was pierced directly by the sharp sword, and it died without even a moment of struggle. But Mianmu Satori just stared at the mouse with wide eyes, curiously looking at it, then drew out his sword, continued to hum a song and started spinning around...

"…………………"

It’s really refreshing.

Duanmu Huai silently withdrew his gaze, put his hands on the desk again, and then closed his eyes.

Then, in front of him, time began to reverse again...

"Click."

Dim electric lights came on, dispelling the darkness of the underground air-raid shelter.

Then, Duanmu Huai "saw" two girls walking in.

"right here!"

The one walking in front was the literary girl. She held a book in one hand and a photo high in the other, as if for comparison.

“This is where the photo was taken!”

As she spoke, the literary girl walked inside, while the sports girl behind her held a flashlight and looked around anxiously.

"Let's finish the filming and leave quickly. I'm afraid that Master Wujian will find out..."

"Don't worry, it will be done soon. As long as we can take supernatural photos here like our predecessors, the 50,000 yuan bonus will be ours!"

"Tsk tsk tsk." Looking at the excitement of the literary girl, Duanmu Huai shook his head silently.

Although the sports girl wanted to leave, she was dragged by the literary girl to the depths of the air-raid shelter. The literary girl seemed to have found a good position by referring to the photo. She raised the mobile phone in her hand and pointed it at herself and the sports girl.

"Okay, I'm going to shoot!"

"Um……………"

The two stood together, and then the literary girl blinked.

"one two three………"

"Click."

Then, the flash light came on, and the literary girl excitedly took back her phone, placed it in front of herself and opened it.

"Let me see how it works...ah, look!"

When checking the photos, the literary girl was so excited that she seemed to have discovered something, and she waved to the sports girl next to her. The latter leaned over to take a look, and was immediately frightened and turned pale, and hurriedly stepped back.

"Hey, this, you are not trying to scare me on purpose!"

"How could I scare you? This is a real supernatural photo! I finally took a real supernatural photo!"

  Unlike the frightened sports girl, the literary girl was jumping up and down excitedly, while Duanmu Huai looked at her as if she were a dead person - did this idiot not know what this meant?

But at this moment, the literary girl suddenly stopped, looked left and right, and then turned to the sports girl.

"Did you just talk to me?"

"Hey? I didn't say anything just now?"

Hearing the question from the literary girl, the sports girl was stunned for a moment, shook her head, and then her expression became ugly again.

"Let's go, now that we've finished taking the photos, it's time for us to leave!"

"Ah, um..."

Just as the literary girl was about to leave reluctantly, the already dim lights suddenly went out, and the entire air raid shelter was plunged into darkness again. Only the dim light from the two people's mobile phones illuminated a small area nearby.

"Alas-----!"

At this moment, the sports girl could no longer bear it. She screamed, stumbled, and ran towards the door.

"I'm leaving, I'm leaving here, I can't stand it anymore!"

While shouting, Duanmu Huai saw the blurry figure of the sports girl running towards the door.

No one knew what happened next.

Duanmu Huai only saw the cell phone that was originally held by the sports girl suddenly flew out violently as if it was hit by something, hitting the wall next to it with a "pop" sound. The literary girl was also startled, she raised the flashlight on her cell phone and shone it forward, while shouting the sports girl's name.

"Hello? What's wrong? Are you there? What's going on?..."

However, the literary girl stopped talking suddenly before she could finish. The cell phone in her hand quickly fell to the ground and was kicked away by her desperately shaking feet. At that moment, with the help of the light from the cell phone, Duanmu Huai, the literary girl, was hanging in the air as if entangled by something - and then there was no movement.

After that, the entire warehouse returned to silence and darkness.

It seems that's it.

Duanmu Huai frowned as he looked at the warehouse that was once again swallowed by darkness.

It was obvious that the two girls had been here and had been attacked. Although we didn't know what had attacked them, it was definitely not a stray cat or dog. And judging from the current situation, there might not even be any bodies left...

While thinking, Duanmu Huai opened his eyes, and then he saw a dark warehouse and Menme Satori, who was staring at him with his eyes wide open, holding his cell phone against his chin.

"……………What are you doing?"

"Let's play. There was a sudden power outage just now, so I thought it would be more fun this way."

"power failure?"

Duanmu Huai frowned slightly, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a strange laugh coming from somewhere.

“Eat, eat, eat…”

"Hmm? What's the sound?"

Menmu Sanatori curiously put his hand to his ear and listened around, while Duanmu Huai silently clenched his fists and looked around.

The laughter seemed to come from all directions and it was impossible to determine its exact location. Just when Duanmu Huai was about to concentrate further, suddenly, he felt a strange breath rushing towards him!
