I am a Scarecrow and the Demon Lord of Terror! - Chapter 71
Chapter 71: Mike: This Is A Curse, We Are Cursed!
“Don’t kill me!”
Huh?
Mike sat up and looked around at the familiar dormitory, the dormitory that was supposed to give him a sense of security, which became distorted and terrifying in his eyes.
Uneasiness and fear continued to spread in his heart.
Mike was about to go crazy.
Ever since he entered that school, he had been faced with one terrifying thing after another.
He thought it was just an ordinary nightmare and was glad that it happened, but it happened to everyone in the dorm.
From then on, Mike would come to that weird school building every night.
It was deserted and dilapidated, but in a blink of an eye, it felt like it had just been used.
There was a disturbing sense of strangeness everywhere.
Mike felt like he was going crazy.
He was going to escape with his roommate and others who had gone through the same thing.
He was going to see if he could get out of this nightmare.
But something incredible happened again. They really had met a ghost.
Horrible songs, raspy voices, scary shadows.
An instinctive sense of danger kept telling him to run.
But before that, Mike’s body was the first to be affected.
The pressure on him made Mike unable to move at all.
Mike did not know what happened in the end.
He vaguely remembered a flash of light before his eyes, then a chill on his neck, and a sharp pain spread throughout his body.
When he woke up again, Mike had already returned to the dormitory.
“I’m cursed. I must be cursed.”
Mike’s mutterings woke up his companion beside him.
“Mike, did we succeed?”
That person sat up from the bed. In Mike’s impression, this guy seemed to have fainted directly.
Therefore, the other party did not know anything about the situation after that.
Therefore, based on his final behavior, the other party appeared to be more normal than Mike.
“Look at where you are now?”
Mike said to him in a bad mood. The other party’s heartless and unfeeling appearance made him very angry.
However, he knew that the other party did not do it on purpose. Everyone had experienced the same fear. They were all in the same boat.
Therefore, Mike also tried his best to restrain himself.
When that person heard Mike’s words, he also opened his eyes and looked around.
“Ah, my God, why are we here?”
“It looks like we are really cursed. Just like those people, anyone who wants to leave this school will be sent back to their dormitory.”
Hearing Mike’s negative and desperate voice, the roommates also looked desperate.
“Oh my God, is there no other way?”
At this moment, that person seemed to have thought of something, then he looked up at Mike and asked, “Speaking of which, where’s Jimmy?”
Mike said uncertainly, “He should be sleeping too, right?”
He got down from the bed and looked at Jimmy’s position.
The quilt was bulged up, but there was nothing unusual on the outside.
It looked like he was really sleeping.
“Hey, wake up, Jimmy. We need to discuss this.”
Mike tried to wake him up, but there was no movement on the bed.
“Jimmy?”
Looking at the unresponsive bed, Mike had a bad feeling in his heart.
He quickly walked up and lifted the quilt.
“Crash!”
Under the quilt, the roommate that Mike was thinking about was not in it at the moment.
However, the bed was not empty. Instead of the roommate named Jimmy, it was a huge scarecrow.
“Guys, come and see, it’s a scarecrow.”
“!”
Hearing Mike’s call, the roommates clearly felt the trembling in Mike’s voice.
He quickly got off the bed and looked over.
“Oh God, no, Jimmy!”
Jordan looked at the scene in disbelief.
The scarecrow on the bed looked very strange. It was obviously made of straw.
The scarecrow’s head was facing Mike and Jordan.
On its face, there was a piece of paper with the name ‘Jimmy’ written on it.
“Is this Jimmy’s prank?”
Jordan could not believe it. He tried to comfort himself. He desperately hoped that things were not as he had thought.
Jordan quickly found his phone. He panted and pressed on the screen with his thumb.
He was so excited that he pressed the wrong number several times.
“Damn it!”
Seeing Jordan like this, Mike, who was the only one who was still calm, quickly took the other party’s phone and tried to call his roommate Jimmy.
“Beep –”
The call was quickly dialed, but the result made the two of them feel heavy.
No one picked up.
“Buzz Buzz!”
“Huh?”
“Did you hear something?”
Mike was the first to react. He looked around in confusion.
Jordan seemed to have noticed something, and his expression became fearful.
His body trembled, and he looked like an aggrieved little daughter-in-law.
“What’s wrong? What did you find?”
Mike followed Jordan’s gaze and looked at the bed. He saw that the scarecrow on the bed had suddenly moved.
!
Mike took a few steps back. Then, he took a closer look and found that it was not the scarecrow that came alive, but something that had made the scarecrow move.
“Could it be some kind of mechanism?”
Mike gathered his courage and went up to check, and found a cell phone inside.
“It’s Mike’s cell phone!”
Jordan exclaimed, and his expression became ugly.
“How about we call the police?”
“No! Have you forgotten what happened to the last wave of people?”
As mentioned before, before Mike, there were people who tried to leave in the morning, which was also daytime.
But without exception, all of these people were secretly sent back to school by Flanders.
Some of these people also wanted to call the police, but every time they wanted to try, Flanders would always appear immediately.
The result was obvious. Without exception, these people saw something very terrifying.
When they woke up again, they all appeared in their own dormitories.
Some of the people who lived outside found that they had returned to their rented houses.
Those people thought that they could use this opportunity to escape from this city.
But these people, Flanders would choose to focus on observation and surveillance, so they naturally did not succeed.
When Guardian Scarecrow reached level five, it ushered in a small evolution.
Other than the increase in numbers, these Guardian Scarecrows were not fixed. They could move freely within a certain range according to Flanders’s own wishes.
It was equivalent to these Guardian Scarecrow having a certain amount of AI.
It was also because of this function that whenever the monitored object made an unusual move, Flanders would be able to receive the news immediately and react in time.
