门缓缓关闭,身后的教室如一口坟墓般沉寂.
The door slowly shut behind them, sealing the classroom like a grave.
林墨站在黑暗中,感到呼吸有些发紧.
Lin Mo stood in the darkness, his breathing slightly strained.
他们所踏入的新空间是一条狭长的楼梯井,向下延伸,看不到尽头.
The space they entered was a narrow stairwell, spiraling downward into unseen depths.
墙壁上贴着一张张陈旧泛黄的布告单,仿佛来自几十年前的小学公告栏.
Old, yellowed notices lined the walls, resembling ancient primary school bulletins.
其中一张写着:"不要回头."
One of them read: "Do not look back."
另一张则写着:"愧疚之犬永远嗅得出你身上的血."
Another stated: "The Hound of Guilt can always smell the blood on you."
林墨默默读着这些字,心跳开始加快.
Lin Mo silently read the words, his heart starting to race.
苏槐在前方停住脚步,朝他比了个手势——她听到了什么.
Su Huai stopped ahead and gestured—she heard something.
林墨竖起耳朵,隐约听见楼道深处传来低沉喘息声.
Lin Mo strained his ears and faintly heard deep panting from below.
像是某种大型动物在黑暗中逼近.
It sounded like a large animal closing in through the dark.
呼吸粗重,节奏稳定,有耐心,像是在等待猎物犯错.
The breathing was heavy, steady, patient—like a predator waiting for prey to slip.
苏槐的嘴唇动了动,低声发出口型:"别跑."
Su Huai mouthed the words silently: "Don't run."
林墨点了点头,慢慢退回她身边,两人并肩站在昏暗的楼梯口.
Lin Mo nodded, carefully stepping back beside her. They stood shoulder to shoulder at the edge of the dim stairwell.
身后,远远传来一声闷响.
Behind them, a distant thud echoed.
是教室门口——传来低沉的犬吠.
From where they came, a low canine growl rolled through.
