Su Min was overwhelmed by the string of movements.

When they stood up again, only Teacher Chen was left in the office. He was trying to use everything around him to put out the fire but was unsuccessful.

Eventually, he also ran outside.

The window curtains and awards were eaten by the raging flames. It wouldn't take long until the fire consumed the entire office.

That year, did the seventh floor also burned like this?

Su Min didn't know if this scene was real or an illusion. Inhaling the smoke around him, he didn't carelessly try to find out.

He patted Lin Yiri, "Carry Lin Xiao Yan and quickly leave."

Lin Yiri was stronger than him. He directly placed Lin Xiao Yan on his back and easily stood up. Since she was very light, he didn't need to exert that much strength.

"Go first," Su Min said.

The fire caught up to him as he trailed after Lin Yiri. It kissed his clothes, leaving behind sparks of amber.

Su Min promptly shook them off.

When they came out of the office, they took a glance back and saw that all the electronics inside exploded, intensifying the blaze and causing it to spread faster.

The fire made its way out of the office's open door, engulfing the combustible materials in the outmoded corridor.

The school seemed to be working on a new archive room on the seventh floor. With so much paper and wood, the floor was completely claimed by flames.

The area around the elevator had the most empty space.

Burning everything it could, the fire quickly occupied the bigger half of the seventh floor. As the flames devoured, it let out loud, mocking crackles, inducing terror in the hearts of spectators.

Meanwhile, the elevator finally rose to the seventh floor and opened its doors. All the ghosts rushed to scramble in, pushing and shoving one another.

A scene of people fleeing for their lives.

The dilapidated elevator was bursting with ghosts. Outside, there were countless more who wanted to get in, creating a confrontational situation.

There were arguments and persuasions. Those inside wanted to close the doors and leave; those outside refused, wanting to go in. Eventually, because it had reached more than carrying capacity, the elevator's doors couldn't close.

'The scene from that day must've looked like this,' Lin Yiri thought.

The walls on the elevator were filled with hand prints and fingernail scratches. If these ghosts were all students, wouldn't those be the marks they'd left behind?

Su Min quickly made a decision, "Take the stairs."

The office was very close to the stairs on the other end.

Lin Yiri subconsciously headed to that staircase but was stopped by Su Min, "Don't go there, go this way."

"Why?" Lin Yiri had some doubts, "This staircase is closest."

Su Min pulled him while explaining, "The body that tried to escape was on other staircase, remember? Think about it: why would a body be there but not here?"

That night, Zhang Yuan's body was placed on the staircase by Su Ya. At one glance, anybody could tell that it was done on purpose.

If the body escaped on this side, it would be placed here.
