Chapter 639: Chapter 291: Experience in the Basement

"The Physical Education Teacher who led me into the office was very calm... He even greeted others, and after greeting, he went to the desk and took out a folder, starting to register me..."

"Then, he took me to the third floor of the Gymnasium..."

"The third floor of the Gymnasium... at its deepest part, there is an office with a sign labeled ’Medical Room’..."

"The Physical Education Teacher knocked on the door of the Medical Room..."

"The person who opened the door was an elderly woman who looked very old..."

"She was dressed in a white coat, with a badge on her chest that read ’School Doctor,’ but it did not have a number on it..."

"She led me into the Medical Room while the Physical Education Teacher stayed at the door..."

"There are many doors inside the Medical Room... doors covered all the walls around..."

"I couldn’t look closely; as soon as I entered the Medical Room, I felt dizzy and couldn’t distinguish the direction of gravity..."

"I felt extremely uncomfortable, as if being roasted on a grill..."

"The School Doctor briefly asked about my condition, then performed a simple examination... I was already so dizzy that I couldn’t distinguish north from south, and just like a soulless puppet, I was led by her..."

"After a while, she sent me out of the Medical Room..."

"The Physical Education Teacher was waiting at the door, he listened to the School Doctor’s words, and then... then he took me to the basement..."

Li Huiyuan spoke up to this point, her body uncontrollably shivering as if recalling some horrifying experience.

Lin Yi quickly put his hand gently on her shoulder, soothing her emotions: "If you don’t want to talk about it... just skip this part..."

Li Huiyuan pursed her lips and shook her head, continuing: "The basement... it was accessed through a passage from the Swimming Hall."

"There was a passage hung with very old kerosene lamps leading to a door at the end, and behind that door was the basement... I don’t know if that basement is connected with the one entered from the outside..."

"Its interior space was vast, like a dungeon or a maze that no light could reach, gloomy and damp, with bursts of sharp and rapid sounds, resembling the wind howling and turning in caves, but I felt no movement of air..."

"On the walls of the basement were hung some luminous stones, sort of like torches, but I’m sure I saw them correctly, they were stones... a type of round Luminous Pearl..."

"The basement also had some extremely nauseating, disgusting odors... those kinds of odors... just like the dens inhabited by carrion mice and those amphibians that consume corpses..."

"My professional knowledge tells me that there must be some mysterious creatures from the charts here... but I’ve never seen them before... I always thought that textbook theories were detached from practice..."

"The Teacher took me into one of the rooms..."

"It was a cell-like room, covered with dry straw, and all walls were full of lock holes, many iron chains hanging from these holes..."

"He pulled those chains over, bound me with them, and suspended me in the middle of the room, making me unable to move as if trapped in a web made of iron chains..."

"The Teacher told me... the Contamination inside me would turn me into a creature similar to ’Chef in the green apron’, but if I could endure one night in this room, I could avoid transforming into that creature, and could also survive."

"He told me, next, there’s nothing to think about, just to keep reciting my own name in my heart..."

"After saying that, he left behind a spherical stone and then departed..."

"That stone... was very similar to the glowing stones in the basement corridor, the only difference being it did not emit light..."

"So, I just waited... but I soon realized a problem, the room was very dark, only a luminous stone on the wall provided faint lighting... I could not determine the passage of Time..."

"Thus, I couldn’t be sure how long this ’one night’ really was, so all I could do was continually shout in my heart ’I am Li Huiyuan, I am in the Gymnasium’, repeating a sequence number each time I recited..."

"I didn’t know when I had arrived at the Gymnasium, so I simply used 20:00, the time I left the Teaching Building, as the start. This way, I only needed to calculate a maximum of 10 hours of elapsed time, then it could be determined that it surely had passed 6:00 the next day..."

"This way, I definitely considered it ’overnight’..."

"But I miscalculated, I made a very basic error—I didn’t take environmental and human factors into account."

"Probably after the Teacher left, some very terrifying sounds began to appear in the basement... Initially, it sounded like screams from those being tortured, but after a while, it felt different..."

"Those screams... easily evoked thoughts of bloody and painful things, more like roars from unknown beasts, or like the sounds of ships passing through canyons filled with rapid hurricanes..."

"Those sounds made my whole body uncomfortable, as if something was being torn out from my bones..."

"At that time, I seemed to hear some strange calling... like intermittent flute sounds coming from the depths of a vast ocean, mingled with sea wind and the whispers of mysterious creatures..."

"I have never seen ’mysterious creatures’ outside of textbooks, but since X999, everything has changed, so I never doubt their existence..."
