Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Chapter 575  Who\'s There?

Gulp~

Kong swallowed hard, trying to keep his composure. "See? They must have stopped their weeping tape after realizing they were discovered."

The other two nodded in agreement. "As for the shadows… It\'s just the wind or something. Let\'s just—"

CREAKKKKK~

Before Kong could finish, the bathroom door creaked open with an agonizing slowness that made them all throw their heads behind their shoulders in an almost robotic way.

Was it them, or did the bathroom stall doors now seem farther from them than before?

CREAK~ n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The doors opened in slow motion, as time stood still for a moment. Wuoo-Wuooo-Wuoooo~

The sobbing intensified, but right now, they couldn\'t care less, especially when seeing a translucent figure drifting into view, hovering just above the floor, with her face facing downwards.

It was a young girl, her face obscured by long, wet hair. Her dress was tattered and stained, and her eyes—when they met theirs—were hollow and filled with an endless sorrow.

AHHHHHH!

Everyone\'s heart jumped in disarray, as they now placed their hands over their mouths, struggling to hold back their haunted screams.

They had only gotten a glimpse, however it was enough to etch fear into their hearts.

Mommy… What did they just see?

A hologram? A projected image?

Their legs turned to noodles and their bodies shook so much you would think they were experiencing an earthquake right now.

.

"Help me..." the ghostly figure whispered, her voice a haunting melody of despair. Only, there was a hint of playfulness wrapped up in this despair, one that made the trio\'s eyes plead with mercy. This isn\'t real! This can\'t be real!

They wished they could convince themselves otherwise, but would a projection know how to open a stall door?

Creak~

The door was finally opened at a full 90 degree angle, and seemed to stay in place, as though some invisible force was holding onto it.

Drip, Drip, DRIP—

The sounds of dripping water grew stronger the closer the translucent girl flew. The moon rays also flickered again, as shadow objects kept obscuring its path over and over again. And with each flickering pulse, her form seemed to grow more solid, and more menacing by the second

"Please... help me…" she repeated, her voice now echoing inside their heads, a relentless plea that clawed at their sanity. "Help me… Help me… HELP MEEE!~"

Ahhhh!

The trio screamed at the top of their lungs, suddenly finding the strength to move, when faced with the ghost\'s true form.

Blugh~

All 3 gagged and puked while fleeing for their lives, but now could it be that simple?

RUN! RUN! RUN!

That was the only thing running in their minds, alongside a truckload of regret. Suddenly, they wished they were in their dormitories, sleeping away and missing the livestream battle.

Suddenly, studying and being a good student didn\'t seem so bad anymore.

"Cellphone, cell phone.. Quick, call someone!"

"Yes, yes… cellphone!"

After fleeing the bathroom, they ran through the long windy hallways, they quickly took out the phones in their pockets and began pressing away. But what was this?

"Damn! What the hell is going on here?" How can there be no reception at a time like this?

"We\'re going to die!... we\'re going to die, aren\'t we?"

Kong thinned his lips, lashing out in fear. "Enough! We won\'t die! We just have to leave this building and head back to our dormitories fast!"

Although he said this, his legs were still wobbling like an old man needing a walking stick.

Was this building always this complicated? Why did it seem like they were going around in circles instead?

Just then, the trio all heard footsteps, but knew they didn\'t belong to any of the groundskeepers. Din–Din–Din-DIN~

The footsteps were unhurried, and accompanied by the voice they desperately wished to free themselves of.

"Help me… Help me…"

There it was again. They had only stopped to catch their breaths for a second and it had already caught up with them with ease.

RUN!!!!

Once more, they darted with every power left in them. However, this time wasn\'t the same as the last. GHAHHHH!

The ghost let out a wail—a sound so piercing and filled with anguish that it froze them in place. Their bodies now gave out an oddly primitive warning that made them wet themselves like babies.

And in a blink of an eye, the translucent figure appeared behind them, allowing "Are you all going to leave me?" Her hollowed voice was like chalk screeching on a chalkboard "You can\'t leave... not yet."

No! No! No!

Everyone screamed internally when their bodies fall on their backs, with invisible forces now dragging them off into the darkness. Help! Help!... Who can help them now?

Bruuuhhhh~

The brutal wind stormed past the scene, prying their hands away from the objects.

Litia grabbed the corner bend of a hallway, but found the wind was prying her fingers off one by one. And with each finger that came undone, her heart continuously fell into her belly, wailing and screaming at the top of her lungs for help.

Soon, they were dragged back into the bathroom stall, where they found over 12 other floating hideous beings smiling at them with saliva spewing from the corners of their grotesque mouths. BLUGH~

IF THEY COUNTED THE NUMBER OF TIMES they puked this night, they felt it would be more than 10. Ugly. Ugly. Ugly.

Now, after seeing these floating ghosts grow larger and larger the closer they advanced, everyone had an inkling of what these bastards wanted to do with them.

FEAST!

"Help! Help! Aunt GWEN! Uncle HOGGARD!!"

Where the hell are you all when they need you?

Tick-tock.

Tick-Tock.

Time seemed frozen in place when the trio found themselves levitating in the air with their mouths pried open.

Ahh… it\'s not that these things want to feast on them, but that they want to enter into their mouths instead?

NO! NO! NO!!!~

They don\'t want them in their mouths!

Aiii~

The creatures were laughing happily, and slowly transforming themselves into smaller clouds of smoke. But just then, the bathroom door swung open with force.

It was Aunt Gwen and Uncle Hoggard.

"Who the hell is making so much noise at this time of the n–"

–silence–
