Chapter 5 - Chapter 5 - Kasumigaoka Utaha: I'm done for!

"Why isn't this elevator door opening!"

Looking at the screen that already displayed '8'.

Normally, at this point, the door should have opened long ago.

Is the elevator broken?

Kasumigaoka Utaha felt as if she could hear her own heartbeat at this moment.

But before she could think further, her phone suddenly rang throughout the entire elevator.

This number?

Before she could answer, looking at the number displayed.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was instantly stunned.

Isn't this her own number?

Why could her own number call her?

"You're kidding, right? It must be a prank..."

"It's not a prank. Look, your phone has no signal!"

Mizusaki Yuma pointed to the missing signal bars on her phone screen.

Clearly, it couldn't be a prank.

When there's no signal, calls absolutely cannot come through.

"How could this happen?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha now remembered a rumor from her school earlier.

Several students had already died at her school.

And before their deaths, they all received a call.

After answering the call, their own voice would 'remind' them.

At first, she thought it was just a joke among students.

But what she was about to experience seemed very similar to the previous rumors.

"It's obvious you seem to be haunted by something, but the call seems to have connected by itself..."

Mizusaki Yuma saw that the call had connected on its own without her tapping to answer.

If it were daytime, he probably would have thought he was going to die.

But now it was different; this looked very similar to a horror movie he had seen in his previous life called "One Missed Call."

No wonder he had felt a chill emanating from Kasumigaoka Utaha earlier.

It turned out she was already haunted by a ghost.

He had already seen a dragon before, so now even seeing a ghost,

He felt like he could accept it.

Click!

On the other end of the line, the call automatically connected and the speakerphone turned on.

A female voice rang out from the other end of the phone.

"There is! Hurry and save us!"

Only two bangs were heard!

Followed immediately by two screams.

The call then hung up directly.

Was he even included in this scheme?

One of the two screams was clearly his own.

It seemed that when he met Kasumigaoka Utaha earlier, he was also targeted by this ghost.

Mizusaki Yuma thought silently to himself.

But what could he deduce from just that single sentence?

And this ghost seemed a bit more powerful than the ones he used to see in movies.

This clearly meant they would be killed immediately after the call.

The previous ghost would at least give you about three days.

"What do we do now?"

Even though Kasumigaoka Utaha had been very wary of the man beside her earlier,

But in this situation, she herself wasn't sure what to do.

And the calm-looking boy beside her was now subconsciously regarded as her reliance.

No matter how independent she was in life, when encountering something like a supernatural event,

And after hearing the news that several students at school had already died,

She was also very scared at this moment.

A ghost was something she had never encountered in all these years.

"Let me think!"

Mizusaki Yuma rubbed his chin. At this moment, they were on the eighth floor.

It had been displayed on the screen earlier.

Which meant they could pry open the door now.

And judging by the pattern of these ghost calls...

As long as Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't speak the death recording from the phone...

Then there would definitely be no problem.

Thinking of this, just as he was about to pry the door open...

The phone device installed inside the elevator suddenly rang, saying, "Is there anyone in the elevator right now?"

When the elevator malfunctioned, the personnel on the other side already knew.

The elevator was equipped with a sensor, and the staff at this moment also wanted to confirm.

If there was someone on the other end of the phone, they would do their best to comfort them.

Elevator incidents like this happened occasionally; as long as no one was hurt and they didn't receive a complaint, there was no problem.

"Yes! Please save us quickly!"

It was as if she had clutched a lifeline.

Kasumigaoka Utaha had seen Mizusaki Yuma's thoughtful expression earlier.

Clearly, he didn't have a very good solution.

But now that the staff had found them, this was clearly a good way to be rescued.

However, as soon as she spoke, she realized something was wrong.

Isn't this exactly what she had heard on the phone earlier?

As soon as she finished speaking, a sinister grin seemed to flash through the elevator.

The elevator, which had been stopped on the eighth floor, quickly plummeted downwards.

The rapid descent instantly disrupted Kasumigaoka Utaha's composure, causing her to uncontrollably scream.

Bang bang!

The rapid descent made it impossible for her to control her body.

First, she hit the back of the elevator, then fell towards Mizusaki Yuma.

But even that alone made Kasumigaoka Utaha's mind become increasingly calm.

It was exactly like the phone call.

She was like a replica of what was in the phone call; next should be the screams, right?

A hint of bitterness flashed in Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes.

She had just debuted as a writer with great difficulty, and she hadn't been in love for so many years.

And now she was going to die just like this?

It was truly so unwilling!

At this moment, she no longer held any hope of surviving.

Among the rumors circulating in the school before, there was never any mention of anyone surviving.

She probably wouldn't be an exception either!
