Cao Tiantian... died!
She had thought that beyond the door was the true path to life, eagerly anticipating the bright future that awaited her once she escaped. Yet she didn't expect that the moment she stepped through the doorway, she would be swallowed by the darkness and meet her end right there on the ground.
Of course, Yi Lin didn't manage to get Cao Tiantian's bag, and the discussion on whether she dropped a box or not had no meaning whatsoever.
But her death confirmed Yi Lin's speculation.
The so-called "escape from Ming River Middle School" was not about fleeing this eerie academy or even getting past the surrounding walls.
Rather, it was about... escaping this world completely!
This was the only path to life!
Yi Lin felt a chill in her heart, and the darkness outside the wall, so tangible it could be, seemed like a ferocious beast lurking within, ready to tear to shreds anyone who dared to enter.
