Mysterious School

Chapter 22

But he did not turn backwards and moved forward by filling lot of courage in his heart. He was moving slowly thinking what was there in the front that was screaming like a hell.

After walking some distance he noticed a prison-like room, how terrifying it looks like that it's enough to make you tremble with fear and die on the spot. Frightened he peeped inside, where there were tons of skeletons scattered in it and the most scariest thing about it is that a skeleton is hung upside down and tied with chains, what's even scarier is that it was cut in half.

What he then meant was that people here were being tortured to death in the most brutal way. But he did not understand why the olden days people behaved in such a rude manner that what a terrible mistake to commit such a heinous punishment. May be these people have turned into ghosts and are roaming around here as guards for this mystery.

After moving few more steps, he noticed more prison like rooms on the both sides, also in each and every cell there are tons of skeletons laid down there and as they were being tortured and killed, all the cries of those men could be heard by him while moving forward towards his destiny. He could not bear to hear all the moans that would damage his mind very badly. 

He has a heavy burden on his heart and brain, he even not able to make a single step forward. While he continued to move on with great difficulty, it seemed as if something very fast coming towards him from behind him again and he was scared to hear that and stopped at once and he thought to turn back and see what was it. But he did not turned back as per the instructions in the book.

All of a sudden the ground under his feet began to tremble profusely, he then scared and began to run very fast until he was tired. After running for half an hour he stopped at a place and bent forward to recover from his fatigue...

After a while, he stood straight and looked around to see what was surrounded there, but he found nothing instead the walls. He slowly then moved forward and again he saw two paths there, he took the map out and checked on which path he has to go. After seeing the map he went on the right path and after few steps ahead he found a big door. 

It has a wooden door with various sculptures and snake figures carved on it. It was very horrible to look at it, but he did not understand how to open it and he heard some where that if the snake figures were sculptured on it, then it would be more dangerous to open and even if one who tried to open it without the key, then they may lead to death immediately. The snakes on it came into live and kill them who are touch the door. He was thinking very seriously, what to do next as his journey towards this tunnel will be wasted if he could not find the key to open the big old door..

He was searching the map completely for the clue to open it, he found the door on the map beside to it this jewelry box drawing was appeared on it, he could not understand why this jewelry box drawing was drawn beside the door. He wondered if the key to the door was inside the box, if so why risk so much to come this far to open this box. I has came so far just to open this box and I am thinking the key to this door was inside this box, no it's not right, may be it was somewhere. I think this is going to be right around here. 

He searched all the places around him very carefully. He searched close by for an hour surrounding places, looking for any gaps in the walls to see if the key was hidden in them, pressing the walls everywhere as we have seen in many movies that the door will open if you press the wall deep inside, but he failed and the door did not open.

Tired of searching for a long time he sat down next to the wall there by adjacent. He was very sad and put the map on the side of him. Unexpectedly after some time he randomly saw the map in reverse and noticed something and immediately stood straight and went near to the door and looking eagerly. 

He noticed something on the door too and the face lit up with joy as if he got the key and opened the door. He then removed the tape from his hand which was tied on his hand towards the jewelry box and removed carefully from his hand. While removing the box from his hand, ghosts over there making a big screams and trying to come towards him and scared.

But he ignores them and stares at the box, engrossed in his work. In fact we have not been properly observed this box so far till now, there was a strange figure in this and the same was there on the door too as a key. But how to separate this key with the box?

He was trying a lot to separate it from the box, but he was tired of separating it. He was so tired and annoyed that he wanted to threw the box down, but for a moment he remembered what would happen to him if the box was not in his hand and stopped. All of a sudden that strange figure fell down from the box without doing anything which he was trying to separate it from the box since long time. He did not understand how did it fell down without doing any thing?. 

He immediately picked up the strange figure from the ground and place it on the door and the snake figures which was on the door moved aside as if they came into live and the wheels placed on it began to turn around slowly making a loud sound.

Finally the door opened into two, towards inside the room and it was completely dark that he even not able to see anything inside.

He slowly stepped inside and noticed that there was a large stream of water inside, but he did not even know where it was coming from. Yet the strange thing is that the water was red and looks like thick blood and he stood like a stone as if he was shocked by seeing the red water. .
