"The 6th Resentful Person" - Frenzy ①

(Planning, Script: Xiao Ji)\Frenzy - Tail\_____The whole school has gone wrong! Murder cases, mysteries, and people! Looking at the red-haired girl who carefully guards a student like a treasure, you show a hint of disgust. This woman has gone insane; just now, you were almost killed by her... In this enclosed classroom, with the messy surroundings, if you don't leave quickly, you might end up just like her. Staying alive is the most important thing! You ignore the red-haired girl and head to the door you came in from, walking straight out.\_____Standing in the corridor, the classrooms are the most obvious things you can see around you. Observing the arrangement, you recall that you are on the second floor of the school building; the entire floor consists of classrooms, with only one homeroom and two staircases. Since the classroom layouts are nearly identical, it is practically impossible to distinguish the staircase from the classroom area.\_____You cautiously keep an eye out while trying to locate the staircase from memory. You choose:
1. Walk along the edge\2. Walk in the middle of the corridor||(Choosing “Walk along the edge,” you pass by an empty classroom and arrive in front of the homeroom. However, at this point, you cannot open the homeroom door; for some reason, it is blocked by a thick wooden plank. A piece of paper is pasted on the door with words that don't match the homeroom, saying: “Evil is on the third floor, everywhere.” Though you don't understand what it really means, it might be some kind of warning or admonition, and you make a note of it. Choosing “Walk in the middle of the corridor” makes you ignore the homeroom and you don't get this information.)\_____Walking down the corridor only takes five minutes, but it feels like a very long time. At this moment, you feel you can relax a little because all the classrooms you pass are empty; obviously, the “killer” is not on this floor. More importantly, in front of you, you find the staircase. As long as you can get to the first floor and rush out of the school gate, you will be safe! This thought instantly occupies your entire mind when you see the staircase. All the depression in your heart vanishes, and you start to get excited. Yes, as long as you reach downstairs...\_____Just as you are about to take a step, a noisy clamor comes from the upper floors. It sounds like something is chasing and colliding with objects, and faintly, you hear moaning near your ears.Something happened upstairs, and it's very close to you... Should you go up to investigate, or go down a floor directly?\1. Go to the third floor to investigate \2. Go down a floor to find an exit\ (This choice will trigger a plot twist)|| (The friend who provided the information earlier will default to option 2 no matter what you choose)\_____The curiosity that suddenly arose in you is suppressed by the remembered message: 'Evil is on the third floor; it's everywhere.' Gradually, you calm down and realize, isn't the decision to 'escape from here as soon as possible' something you had already made? In this chaotic and dangerous environment, protecting your own life is essential; you can't help others if you don't even know what will happen on the third floor. Why gamble your life just to satisfy your curiosity?\(Those who did not get the note information but chose the correct option do not have the above inner thoughts)\_____You deliberately quicken your pace to get through the already short stairs faster. Then, following the route remembered in your mind—a corridor leading to the exit on the open area—you sprint straight there. You successfully move from the second floor to the first floor. As you step into the first-floor corridor, you immediately head toward the anticipated door. Although you're running and panting, thinking of escaping brings a smile to your face.\_____One step, two steps, then stop. Just as you cheerfully finish running down the corridor and reach the door, the scene before your eyes freezes your smile. Exhausted, you finally sit down on the ground, staring blankly ahead, repeating, 'Why...'\_____Before you, the place that should be the exit door is now a wall—a cold, unyielding wall.\_____'I want to leave here!' you roar, leaping up and pressing against the wall, pounding it with your hands, but the wall remains unmoved. Soon, your hands slowly fall, and like your hands, your body slumps against the wall. 'It's useless. Since you're here, there's no way out...' A faint voice reaches your ears. You pause, turn your head, and see a short-haired boy in the same school uniform as you, standing sideways along the corridor wall.\_____You clearly recognized that face, and with a complicated expression, you shouted at him loudly: “Classmate Pingyang! You're okay, that's really great! There's been a murder here, and moving around alone would be extremely dangerous. Classmate Pingyang, Classmate Cun hasn't…” You revealed your excitement at reuniting with your friend without reservation, but oddly, the person called Pingyang remained unmoved. It was as if he didn't hear your call at all, and with an indifferent expression, he walked toward the end of the corridor. “Classmate Pingyang!” You felt strange seeing him walk away like this. You forced yourself to stand again, inching forward to catch up with Classmate Pingyang, “What exactly happened?”\_____No matter how you shouted, the oddly and even strangely detached Classmate Pingyang kept walking without turning his head, leaving only a back that began to make you uneasy. You are to:
1. Continue following him\2. Stay where you are||(Relax, the choices here won't trigger anything or affect the story development. Just consider it a fun diversion. Has anyone always chosen the right option?)\_____Staying here won't help you leave this place. Now, having reunited with Classmate Pingyang, judging from what he said earlier, maybe he knows something. Besides, as his best friend, you must stick with him!\_____You hesitate not at all; despite your energy being depleted, you still hope to catch up with Classmate Pingyang. At this moment, the Pingyang ahead suddenly disappears while you're momentarily distracted. You are stunned and look around the corridor. You notice a room nearby with a sign: Security Room. There's only that one room on the first floor, and a person cannot just vanish into thin air.\_____However, standing at the door, you hesitate whether to enter this lone room.
1. Forget it, you still feel there's something inside. It's better not to go into a place you don't understand.\2. Push the door open; you absolutely must find Classmate Pingyang.||(Any option can continue the story, but choosing option 2 can trigger the clue-acquisition storyline)
(You reach out toward the door of the guardroom, pushing slowly and with some force. The door isn't locked—perhaps due to prolonged use without maintenance, it makes a 'creak creak' noise as it opens just a crack. Out of the corner of your eye, you catch sight of someone inside with their back to you, bent over as if leaning on an object resembling a coffee table. And they are clearly wearing the school uniform of your own school… Your eyes widen in shock. Is that Pingyang?)
_____“You… why are you here…” This sentence suddenly drifts into your ear, and you feel a chill run down your spine. The voice lacks intonation, so plain that it seems lifeless. Wait, is someone following me, right behind me? Your scalp tingles as you strain to turn your head… When you recognize who is behind you, your legs go weak and you collapse to the ground. “P-Pingyang?”\_____It turns out that Pingyang, who was supposed to be inside the guardroom, is now somehow behind you, staring at you with the same previously indifferent expression.
